Coronary Artery Disease – or CAD

2020-03-30T06:53:00.000+05:00

More than 6% of adults suffer from ischaemic heart disease, which results from coronary artery disease – or CAD. Ischaemic heart disease is the most common single cause of death worldwide. Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease characterized by the formation of plaques in the arteries. Depending on the arteries affected this can lead to stroke, myocardial infarction or acute limb ischemia. Atherosclerotic plaque formation in the coronary arteries is characteristic of CAD, a progressive condition that causes restricted blood flow to the heart. Rupture of one of these plaques can lead to the formation of a blood clot in the lumen of the artery, known as atherothrombosis. This blood clot can grow to further limit – or even completely block – blood flow through the artery, potentially resulting in myocardial infarction. The degree of stenosis (or narrowing) of the arteries and characteristics of the plaque determine the symptoms that a patient may experience. There may be no symptoms until significant stenosis has occurred. Apart from event prevention through lifestyle modifications such as smoking cessation and dietary changes, guidelines for the treatment of CAD recommend risk factor management for hypertension, diabetes or dyslipidemia, antithrombotic therapy with antiplatelet agents and, in some cases, revascularization using a stent to widen the artery and restore blood flow. Despite antiplatelet therapy, the residual risk of atherothrombotic events remains high. In one clinical study, there was a 7% residual risk of stroke, myocardial infarction or cardiovascular death despite dual antiplatelet treatment in patients with, or at high risk of, cardiovascular disease. In another clinical study, dual antiplatelet therapy with ticagrelor and acetylsalicylic acid in patients with previous myocardial infarction reduced the risk of adverse cardiovascular events but increased the risk of bleeding. Despite this, 8% of patients still experienced adverse cardiovascular events over 3 years. To help reduce this residual risk, clinical trials are investigating optimal treatment strategies in patients with CAD. The results of these studies hold great interest for physicians and patients alike.

Prime Minister Modi announced an all-India lockdown for three weeks

2020-03-30T06:42:00.000+05:00

As Prime Minister Modi announced an all-India lockdown for three weeks to break the chain of Covid-19, one could see the extent of the threat. It reminded one of the 1918 Spanish flu, which infected 500 million people globally when the world’s population was just 1.8 billion, killed 50 million, of which the largest deaths (estimated 14-18 million) were in India. Obviously, the PM did not want to take any chances. And, he was right.

But, this lockdown also led to pandemonium. Migrant laborers from Mumbai, Delhi, and other metros left in herds for their homes in Bihar, Jharkhand, UP, etc. God forbid, if some of them were already infected, this virus will go to every nook and corner of the country, with hardly any facilities to even test its existence in rural areas.

Relief measures followed. A welfare package of Rs 1.7 lakh crore was announced by the finance minister. This is too small to cope with the onslaught of this virus. We believe, the final package, including compensation for business losses, will be at least Rs 5-6 lakh crore, if not more. How does one finance this cost? Windfall gains from crude price crash, diverting all subsidies and some development funds, CSR funds of the private sector and invoking India’s corporate leaders to come forward, deficit financing, and even a clarion call by the PM to all those in the organized sector with fixed salaries (say, above Rs 50,000/month) to voluntarily contribute at least 10% of their salaries for combating the spillover effects of this virus.

But here, we focus on handling food supply lines, ensuring that people don’t go hungry, but also that they don’t crowd a few selling points, which can become hotspots of spreading the virus. Food is essential and, as they say, no army can march on an empty stomach even for a few days. Those who are confined within the ‘Laxman Rekha’ of their homes graze more often in the kitchen. While the government has already announced that beneficiaries of the public distribution system can avail of three months ration in one go, the challenge is to ensure that Fair Price Shops deliver this in an orderly manner, and that their own supply lines remain intact. Home (street) delivery would be ideal in such times to avoid crowding at one place. This is where civil society, with due safety gear, can play a role.

From NGOs and Resident Welfare Associations to religious organizations and paramilitary forces, all can be engaged in orderly and safe distribution of food, both pre-cooked and fresh. Those NGOs with experience in food preparation and distribution (the likes of Akshaya Patra) can be at the forefront to guide the local authorities.

The challenge, however, is of supplying perishables like fruits and vegetables, milk, and so on. All these need to move on mobile vans in packaged conditions from street to street. The weekly habits/markets need to be temporarily suspended, lest they become viral spreading centers, as everyone touches and feels the quality of vegetables when buying in crowded vegetable markets. Sabzi walls can work with civil society organizations as well as e-commerce players to do this job in a safe manner.

This is about handling the retail distribution, be it of grains, or of fresh food. But, these retail distribution lines need to be seamlessly linked to wholesale supply lines of food. Luckily, government godowns are overflowing with wheat and rice—about 77 MMT on March 1, against a buffer stock norm of 21.4 MMT on April 1. And, procurement operations for rabi crops are just around the corner. FCI, and other procuring agencies need to be fully trained on safety precautions, and supplied safety gear, so that wholesale supply lines don’t get choked. Farmers can be asked to come first to automated centers for procurement, and also expedite modernization of mandis linked to silos. But, the majority of operations require a massive labor force to fill gunny bags. They need to be screened, trained, and given safety gear to handle food.

Another big question is how to handle mandi operations for fresh produce in large APMC mandis, like Azadpur in Delhi, and Vashi in Mumbai, with due safety from the virus. These mandis are creaking from overload of produce, and a large labor force handling the product without any modernization or safety gears. The challenge of screening and providing safety kits to these workers becomes doubly daunting, but it is critical to stop the spread of the virus to every home. We don’t think we are fully prepared for that, and that should come upon as much a priority as the safety of frontline health warriors. Also, we should use this opportunity to suspend the APMC Act and encourage NGOs, civil society, and corporate houses, to directly procure from farmers.

It is interesting to note that normally, in such times, prices of essential food items erupt. Paradoxically, in India, some food items, like chicken and eggs, have registered a sharp fall! In Gazipur Mandi, Delhi, for example, broiler price declined from Rs 55/kg in January 2020 to Rs 24/kg in March. Egg prices have fallen from Rs 4/egg to Rs 1.95/egg in Namakkal over the same period. This also pushed maize prices down as poultry is largely packaged maize feed. The government may have to think of compensating poultry and maize farmers in due course.

Finally, when things settle, it will be worth knowing how this virus spread all the way from Wuhan to Iran to Italy to Washington and the world. Who failed in their duty to blow the whistle and alert the world in time? Is it China, WHO or simple lethargy of the world to quickly respond to the outbreak of such virus. We need better global governance for pandemics to avert the next crisis.

Corona And Lock Down By Imran Khan in Pakistan

2020-03-30T06:32:00.001+05:00

Coronavirus

The coronavirus pandemic is stalking our earth, riding roughshod over boundaries drawn by man on the face of this earth. Op-ed writers, such as this scribe, carry the least burden over the pestilence. They parley with their readers from across long distances. But they never run the risk of being distanced from their readers. Political leaders, the world over, are not blessed with this facility. They have, in contrast to op-ed writers, enormous power but that power comes with a caveat: They are, much as they may despise it, accountable, i.e. answerable to too many for their taste. The poor scribe, on the other hand, is subject only to his editor’s pen.

So leaders all over the world are grappling with options available to them to tackle the monster challenge of how to cope with the Covid-19 gauntlet thrown at them. They don’t have the luxury of too many options to choose from. It is, in fact, an either/or question to them. One option is to throw a blanket over the country and lock it down; the other is to urge their people to show responsibility and keep a healthy distance from one another while pretending to carry on with life’s routines—social distancing without a lockdown.

News Reports

News reports say that at least 1.7 billion people—out of a total human inhabitation of 7 billion—in more than 50 countries of the world are in a state of lockdown. Their governments have imposed a standstill condition on them, for periods varying from two weeks to a month. More than a billion of this number happen to be the people of India. The Modi government has clamped down in the hope of coming to grips, adequately if not fully, with the scourge by freezing people’s possible exposure to the lethal virus. Next door to India, in Pakistan, the picture is just as somber but a lot more confusing and mind-boggling. In empathy for Imran Khan, one should concede this pandemic couldn’t have hit Pakistan at a more inappropriate moment. March 23, Pakistan’s National Day—marking the adoption of the Resolution, on this day in the city of Lahore in 1940, that kicked off the demand for Pakistan in earnest—has fallen a casualty to the pestilence as all celebrations had to be canceled.

Earlier, the much-hyped Pakistan Super League-5 (PSL-5) had to be abandoned in its last stages because of the corona scare. This cricket gala was being played in Pakistan for the first time since its inception five years ago. All four previous tournaments were played in Dubai and Sharjah because overseas players were reluctant to play in Pakistan. This year they did, overcoming their security concerns. But corona threw a spanner in its wheel at the semi-final stage. It was a colossal disappointment to a cricket-crazy nation of Pakistanis, young and old. One could well imagine Imran’s sense of personal hurt from PSL’s premature termination, given his own illustrious cricketing background. It must be hard on him to drop it. However, he now has bigger fish to fry, with Covid-19 breathing down his neck.

Unlike the Modi government, Imran’s outfit has lesser clarity. Pakistan’s response to the scourge is a chequered picture as of now. The four provinces of the Pakistani federation haven’t crafted a uniform response to the pandemic. The rules of business indeed give them the freedom to tailor their responses according to their own take of the crisis, which this pandemic most certainly has spawned. As of now, there are nearly 1,190 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the country, out of which nearly 40% are in the southern province of Sindh. So, the Sindh government has locked down the province for 15 days. All transport has been grounded. The trains have been halted too. The province, with Karachi, Pakistan’s commercial capital at the heart of it, has been brought to a standstill. In contrast, Punjab, the most populous province, is on a semi-lockdown. So are the other two provinces, Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Lockdown

Imran disdains a total lockdown. His logic for not taking that road makes sense, given that 25% of Pakistanis live below the poverty line. He argues it would be hard on the poor, mostly workers who subsist on daily wages for a living; they would be driven deeper into the poverty pit under a total standstill. Nevertheless, the prime minister of Pakistan has come up with a generous package of relief for the poor for the next three months, hoping the pestilence will have blown away by its end. One should wish him well for his optimism. But it still doesn’t answer the question, what should take precedence: saving lives, or shielding against temporary hardship and suffering? Any sage would find it hard to come up with a convincing answer.

What Is The Difference Between Attitude And Aptitude?

2019-10-20T04:47:00.000+05:00

What Is The Difference Between Attitude And Aptitude?

Many people confuse these words for their phonetic resemblance despite having very different meanings.

Companies are constantly looking for efficient employees who have knowledge in the area that is needed. However, a professional profile is defined not only by technical training, but also by a list of attitudes and skills that are consistent with the objectives of the company.

Many people confuse both words because they closely resemble their pronunciation, although in reality they are very different in their meaning. Both are characteristics and behaviors of a good worker that companies look for to be part of their team.

What Is Attitude?

Before entering to evaluate different types of attitudes, it is necessary to take into account what we can consider attitude itself.

In this sense, it is called an attitude to the effect of the set of relatively stable beliefs and values over time in the willingness or tendency to act in a certain way or undertake some type of action. It is a determining aspect when carrying out an action and the type of emotion generated by said activity or way of interacting with a specific situation or stimulus.

An attitude can be more or less generalized, being able to refer to a wide scope or even to a specific type of stimulus (this is the case, for example, with ethnic or racial prejudices).

The attitude towards the world arises from the interaction between biological and hereditary factors (as well as the aptitudes or personality traits, some of them are favored by the genetics of each subject) and environmental factors such as learning along subject's life

Likewise, they can be actively modified through training or mere exposure to the topic that generates the attitude, for example by associating the activity in question with positive or negative reinforcements based on experience.

Attitude refers to the behavior a person has to perform a task. Attitude is what defines a person through their personality or their ability to solve problems, their reactions and how they face adversities in their work environment.

There are many workers who have an impressive resume, with various studies and degrees, but who remain in the midst of the selection of staff for a poor attitude. Even people who have a negative attitude are quickly separated to avoid problems within a work team.

The Types Of Attitudes

It is possible to find a wide variety of types of attitudes, classified according to various criteria and without being mutually exclusive. Among them we can observe the following.

1. According To His Effective Valence

One of the possible ways of classifying emotions is through their affective valence, in the sense of how they allow to assess the environment and the situation. We can find the following three types of attitudes.

1.1. Positive Attitude

One of the most flattering types of attitude is the positive attitude, through which the situation or exposure to a stimulus is visualized so that positive and optimistic interpretation is favored regardless of the difficulties faced, bringing the subject closer to stimulation. or action and in search of the achievement of the objectives in a healthy, confident and generally disciplined manner. It is usually contagious.

1.2. Negative Attitude

Type of attitude that generates a negative and pessimistic view of reality, generally maximizing the aversive experience and giving little value or directly not seeing the positive aspects of the situation. It usually generates an avoidance of acting or complaining behavior beyond the rational, making it difficult to achieve goals. Like the positive is usually contagious.

1.3. Neutral Attitude

We can consider as neutral attitude that in which the judgment and the thought is not tinged by an emotionality neither positive nor negative. It is one of the least frequent types of attitude and is usually typical of people who pretend to be impartial in their judgments.

2. Classification According To Its Orientation To The Activity

Another type of classification, not at odds with the previous one, refers to the way in which individual provisions generate a specific approach or orientation towards the idea of carrying out a conduct or activity. In this regard and we can highlight the following.

2.1. Proactive Attitude

A type of attitude in which the action and the autonomous and active search for an improvement in the performance or performance of the activity or an autonomous search for the solution of problems that may arise are prioritized. It is a type of mentality that promotes creativity and the generation of added value, as well as the pursuit of achieving the present objectives and even looking for new challenges to be achieved after that. It is highly quoted in the labor market.

2.2. Reactive Attitude

This type of attitude is also linked to the performance and implementation of behavior, but with a more passive mentality and dependent on what is established. A reactive person will depend heavily on instructions and resources and will have more difficulty coping with unforeseen problems, not being autonomous. It predisposes to conformity and non-action if there is nothing that compels it.

3. Classification According To The Motivation To Act

Other types of attitudes that can be considered arise not so much from how we orient towards the activity but what motivates us to do so. In this sense we can find the following types of attitudes.

3.1. Interested Attitude

This type of attitude implies that what you are looking for in the subject in your action is the achievement of your own individual objectives, not taking into account or valuing the needs of others very little.

The benefit itself is sought, either directly or indirectly and may be more or less obvious. You can also seek the benefit of others, but you must always report some kind of personal benefit (even at the level of social consideration). It promotes another type of attitude that we will see later, the manipulative one.

3.2. Selfless / Altruistic Attitude

The subject with this type of attitude carries out his actions with the purpose of generating a benefit for others or regardless of whether he may not generate profits or even that may cause losses. It is unusual, since most actions generate secondary benefits to the subject himself, even at the psychic level.

4. Depending On The relationship with others

In addition to the objectives themselves, attitudes can also be classified according to how they interact with others.

4.1. Collaborating / Integrative Attitude

A kind of attitude of great use, promotes interaction with others so that everyone can achieve their goals and achieve their goals both shared and individual.

4.2. Manipulative Attitude

This type of attitude is the one that has who voluntarily and consciously uses others, making them face to obtain their own objectives, favor their interests or direct the situation towards a point desired by them.

4.3. Passive Attitude

It is a type of attitude derived from a negative vision of reality, in which there is an absence of initiative and activity, not seeking the approach to action but its avoidance. On a personal level, they may subject their wishes to those of others, being dependent and not defending their rights.

4.4. Aggressive Attitude

A way of acting and taking situations in such a way that their own rights are defended independently of those of others, coming to ignore or underestimate them if they are contrary to those of the subject.

4.5. Assertive Attitude

A type of attitude in which the subject defends their own opinions and rights consistently, but respecting those of others and being flexible in such a way that respects the other and gives space for negotiation.

4.6. Permissive Attitude

This type of attitude is largely linked to the propensity to be highly flexible, allowing and assessing deviations from the norm.

5. Depending On The Type Of Elements Used To Assess The Stimuli

Other types of attitudes are linked to our way of processing reality or the type of aspects used to assess each situation.

5.1. Emotional / Emotional Attitude

The emotional or emotional attitude is that of those who tend to rely on the emotional and assess their own and others' affections. They are usually more generous, romantic and effective both in their interactions and when assessing situations (sometimes even in a manner contrary to rationality).

5.2. Rational Attitude

They have people who rely on the use of logic and reason when assessing reality, often ignoring irrational or emotional aspects.

What Is Fitness?

Meaning of Fitness: Aptitude is the ability or posture that a person or thing possesses to carry out a certain activity or the capacity and skill that is had for the development and good performance of a business, industry, art, sport, among others.

The word aptitude comes from the Latin aptus which means "capable for".

In this way, it is understood that the term fitness can be applied in different environments in which the human being develops, both in which cognitive, physical, biological, labor, analytical, and other abilities are involved.

For example, when looking for a job, a resume or resume must be prepared and delivered or sent, in which the professional or outstanding aptitudes that identify the candidate who is running for a specific position are exposed.

These qualities are what describe the individual as the ideal and competent candidate to obtain the requested job, they seek to stand out from the other candidates. Some professional skills may be responsibility, honesty, ability to work in groups and under pressure, creativity, dynamism, among others.

On the other hand, aptitude refers to a series of psychological characteristics or faculties that allow a person to develop a specific activity. It is the ability of a person to perform a task effectively.

As his concept says, there are several types of skills that differ in a wide variety of skills that define a worker more suitable for a certain job than another, since people have different skills among all.

1. Aptitude In Psychology

Aptitude in the psychological context refers to the cognitive skills and abilities that a person possesses or develops to link their skills in the field of learning, understanding texts and about the various types of reasoning.

For example: A person who learns quickly and at the same time has the ability to apply new knowledge in the context of their reality, is an individual who stands out for possessing such aptitude.

Likewise, aptitude refers in psychology to the possibility of making some prognosis of someone with remarkable abilities to perform one or more activities effectively and effectively.

For example: When you see that a child plays football very well, one can say that he has the aptitude to be a professional player in that area.

2. Fitness In Biology

Aptitude in biology refers to the characteristics and capabilities of a living being to survive and adapt to a particular environment. It can be related to theories of evolution.

That is, it indicates all those characteristics or circumstances in which an individual demonstrates their strengths and abilities to overcome adversities or new natural changes for various reasons or factors.

3. Physical Aptitude

Physical fitness is the ability or ability of a human being to perform different physical activities with a good performance and minimizing the effects of exhaustion, fatigue and weakness, as a result of the proper functioning of the body.

4. Verbal Aptitude

Verbal aptitude is the ability to perceive or understand, reason, relate sentences and texts.

For example: Students undergo various tests of verbal aptitude that consist of writing texts, understanding diverse texts and verbal analogies, the latter are a set of exercises to complete and order sentences.

Verbal aptitude is associated with the cognitive ability of the individual and the knowledge acquired through learning and intelligence.

5. Fitness And Attitude

Sometimes people tend to confuse two terms that are different because of the similarity of their pronunciation, such as aptitude and attitude.

Aptitude, as already mentioned, indicates the posture, quality ability of a person or thing to perform or carry out a certain activity. It also refers to the willingness to do something.

On the contrary, attitude indicates the way in which different day-to-day circumstances are faced. The attitude is related to education, culture, the society in which an individual develops. For example, "Your brother's attitude demonstrates his generosity".

What Is The Difference Between Attitude And Aptitude?

While attitude refers to a trait of human personality and its way of reacting to problems, aptitude refers more to the ability of an employee to fulfill a specific function and role.

Men's Diet For Weight Loss - A Nutrition Strategy To Clean The Stomach

2019-10-18T19:03:00.000+05:00

Men's Diet For Weight Loss - A Nutrition Strategy To Clean The Stomach

A simple male diet and an understandable description of a nutritional strategy for burning fat - all about how to quickly lose weight, remove a soft stomach and return the body to normal.

Diet For Men

Diet for men plays a much more important role for weight loss than exercise. Due to differences in metabolism, girls are much quicker to lose weight through training and exercise, while it is easier for men to remove their belly and burn excess fat while following a proper diet. However, unfortunately, most popular diets are not oriented at all to men, but mainly to women.

It is important to remember that if an ordinary man who wants to lose weight tries to follow a “cucumber-kefir” or any other low-calorie diet that restricts calories and saturated fats, this will have a very negative effect on lowering testosterone levels. The result will be not so much getting rid of the abdomen as losing muscle mass and lowering libido.

Losing weight for men requires a special strategy. First of all, nutrition should not be sharply limited in calories - in the end, the composition of the diet and the direct choice of products included in the daily menu are more important. In addition, men should pay special attention to the glycemic index of the food they eat.

How To Get Rid Of A Man’s Abdomen?

Male fat on the stomach and on the sides is a reserve of reserve energy. Moreover, the body will begin to expend these reserves only when the calories supplied with food are not enough to provide for daily needs. Accordingly, losing weight for men implies two options - either start spending calories through exercise, or reduce calorie intake.

At the same time, most men who want to get rid of their abdomen and lose weight overestimate the amount of energy needed to perform cardio and other physical exercises, while at the same time underestimating the amount of energy received from food. For example, to burn the calories of a pack of chips, you need to run 11 km - you see, it's easier to initially abandon these chips.

The Best Diet For Men

The correct diet for men is not just the rejection of the “three foods that grow the stomach” and the transition to low-fat cottage cheese for 14 days, but a complete review of eating habits for life. Men's diet for weight loss is a moderate decrease in calorie intake, the rejection of fast food and "liquid calories", as well as maximizing the amount of fiber.

In this case, playing sports is only optional - theoretically, you can lose weight solely with the help of a diet and do not exhaust yourself with hourly runs. The main thing is to tune in to the fact that progress will manifest itself gradually. In other words, you will lose weight in 2-3 months, and not in 10 days. But once again we recall that sharp weight loss is extremely harmful to men.

Weight Loss For Men: The Main Rules

Successful weight loss is the gradual transformation of a daily diet into a fat burning diet. Starting to count calories and BJU (proteins, fats and carbohydrates) from the first day, by the second week you will get confused and just quit this difficult task. In the first month of dieting, it is important, first of all, to learn to hear your body's signals about satiety with food.

Breakfast and lunch are the main meals. The main reason for gaining excess weight and increasing fat on the abdomen in men is the habit of not having breakfast at first, then being content with a snack at lunch, and at the end of the day, having a tight dinner before bedtime. Accustom yourself to wake up early and have a full breakfast, however difficult it may seem in the early days.

1. Limit Carbohydrates For Dinner

If your typical dinner for several years consists of fried potatoes, bread and sweet tea with cookies - do not be surprised if you gained weight. The right dinner for men's weight loss will be a serving of rich Omega-3 salmon or lean meat with a side dish of salad or green vegetables seasoned with olive oil.

2. Give Up Sweets

It is sugar and sweet pastries that are the main reasons that break the correct metabolism and make the body constantly feel hungry and ask for a calorie supplement. The good news is that it’s much easier for men than women to completely give up sweets in their diet.

3. Learn To Feel Full

The buffet and the all-inclusive principle of nutrition is the first enemy of a taut belly and embossed figure. Get used to the standard serving size, do not ask for supplements and leave the table with a slight feeling of hunger - remember that satiety from food comes only after 20 minutes.

4. Do Strength Training

Losing weight is not as difficult as it seems. However, it is difficult to put the body in order and return the muscles lost due to a sedentary lifestyle. Want to feel like in 25 years? Strength training can not only build muscle, but also dramatically increase the level of male hormones.

Men's Diet: An Example Of A Menu

The men's diet for weight loss is based on the fact that in the morning fast carbohydrates should be present in the diet to increase working capacity, the main meal (the largest amount of carbohydrates) is for lunch, and for dinner you should eat a sufficiently large amount of vegetables (sources of fiber), lean meat and healthy vegetable fats.

1. Breakfast:

A cup of oatmeal (30-50 g) in milk with a banana and a handful of nuts (walnuts or pinecones).

2. First Lunch:

A large portion of buckwheat porridge with chicken breast and dressing with tomatoes and olive oil. Use approximately 100-120 g of buckwheat, 100 g of chicken and 10-15 g of olive oil (added at the end).

3. Second Lunch:

Omelet of three chicken eggs.

4. Dinner:

Vegetable stew with beef and dressing with olive oil. Use 200-300 g of various vegetables (zucchini, bell pepper, corn), 100 g of pumpkin or potato (sweet potato is better than sweet potato) and 100-150 g of beef.

What Products Should Be Discarded?

Men's diet for weight loss involves the maximum rejection of fast carbohydrates (including sugar, pastries, sweets) and from foods containing a large amount of saturated fat (chips, sausage, mayonnaise, fatty meat). In fact, any fast food is prohibited - starting with pizza, dumplings and pasties, ending with hamburgers.

At the same time, an honest answer to the question of whether it is possible for men on a diet to drink alcohol is better not to drink. The problem with alcohol is not at all its high calorie content, but that the feeling of intoxication increases the appetite and reduces the criticality in choosing food products. However, if you are confident that you will be able to control yourself - moderate drinking is permissible.

The men's diet for weight loss is, first of all, the ability to limit oneself in food and not overeat. First of all, it is important to learn how to identify “harmful” products for the abdomen that contain empty calories and lead to weight gain. At the same time, the result of following a proper diet often exceeds the result of performing fat burning exercises.

Why Primary Health Care? And Difference Between Secondary and Primary Health Care

2019-10-07T21:24:00.000+05:00

*Why Primary Health Care? And Difference Between Secondary and Primary Health Care***

What is meant by primary health care, how to assess its impact on the health of populations and what can be read about the lack of resources allocated to them.

Brief Definition Of Primary Health Care

Primary health care refers to primary care, which is the level of the care system that is the gateway to the health care system, providing general, comprehensive, ongoing care, integrated, accessible to all, and that coordinates and integrates services needed at other levels of care (Macinko 2003).

A more complete definition of primary health care missions is proposed below.

It seems essential at this stage to agree on the words to have a common language but also to get out of wrong value judgments. The confusion of primary care / primary health care is one of those difficulties.

If we observe a health system from the supply of services, we must be able to raise levels of health care provision: at its base, the primary level, not segmented, nor by age, sex or type of problem, neither by body nor by users' financial capacity. This primary level is supposed to be able to meet 90% of the health problems of an unselected population. Then the secondary level, reference level, and finally the tertiary level, that of high-tech medicine (university hospitals). These last two levels are by definition specialized and therefore segmented.

The other angle of observation is that of the demand, of the place where the patient makes contact with the system and presents his problem. This place will be the first line. Especially in our country where access to the different levels is not staggered and therefore free, the first line can be located in many places, including in the secondary and even tertiary level: the emergency services are one of them. Example, but a Brussels menopause center too.

The role of primary health careshould not be defined in isolation but in relation to other constituents of the health system. Primary and secondary care, both general and specialized, all have important roles. They are not mutually exclusive but necessary to the system. However, advances in technology, improved education and training, changing needs related to epidemiological transition, social and lifestyle changes are increasing the need for primary health care, and calling for an organization such primary care is in the majority of cases the first line.

A health system based on primary health care is more efficient, more efficient and of better quality.

The Point Of View Of International Organizations

In 1978, primary health care became one of the key policies of the World Health Organization when the Alma-Ata Declaration and the "Health for All" Strategy were adopted in the course of the year. 2000 "(WHO 1978).

1. World Health Organization

For example, the World Health Organization has stated in the Lubljana Charter on Reforming Health Care, among its fundamental principles, the need for European health systems to be oriented towards primary health care and to enable through these primary care, to promote health, improve quality of life, prevention and treatment of diseases, rehabilitation, management of pain and palliative care, patient participation in decision-making regarding their health, integration and continuity of care, taking into account the specific cultural context (WHO 1996).

In its World Health Report 2003 - Shaping the Future, the World Health Organization strongly encourages a major shift towards the model of health systems based on primary health care. This report states that, twenty-five years after the declaration of Alma-Ata, many in the world of health consider essential to privilege primary health care for a fair progression of health. The World Health Organization considers that primary health care covers key principles, including universal access to care, need-based coverage, commitment to health equity in the context of development-oriented towards social justice, community participation in the definition and implementation of health programs, the adoption of inter sectoral approaches to health.

"Experience shows that the best results are achieved in health systems with integrated and effective primary health care services, probably because they provide more comprehensive and coordinated longitudinal services."

The OECD Economic Surveys - Belgium 2005 (OECD 2005), after analyzing the Belgian health situation, makes these recommendations: "The government should vigorously encourage patients to take the principle of consulting their GP in the first place (unless in case of emergency) ; for this reason, it should not reimburse the medical expenses of patients who have not been referred by their GP. "

For the OECD, the lack of staggering in Belgium leads to an inadequate use of medical resources by patients. Current attempts to increase incentives to go through the GP are not strong enough. Increasing the responsibility of generalists by adding the role of gate keeper, induced by staggering, must be paid. The need for an integrated health care system is made explicit, with a pivotal role for the GP. In addition to this role of gatekeeper, the role of coordinating long-term care processes and being the primary source of contact for the patient and family is also recognized. By the example of the provision of adequate guidelines, the OECD cites the need for the system to give generalists the necessary means to ensure their growing role.

As for the financing of primary health care, we will cite again this OECD report (OECD 2005), which gives a good summary of what is happening in Belgium: "In Belgium, doctors are paid on a fee-for-service basis. This mode of remuneration encourages practitioners to inflate the volume of acts by performing unnecessary services and prescriptions. A capitation system may encourage practitioners to subcontract their patients, to refer more quickly to the second line or to select people with a low risk of illness. In response to the dead ends of the two payment methods, some countries are moving towards a more complex payment system that combines a fixed part (capitation or salary) with a fee-for-service payment for certain specific interventions ".

3. EU Health Community

At the informal EU conference Shaping the EU Health Community in Den Haag on 7-9 September 2004, no fewer than 440 health care experts from the 25 Member States of the European Union come together to make recommendations together to the ministers of health of the countries Among these recommendations was the high priority of primary health care and public health in the development of health systems. There was also the need to postpone the dependency of older people as much as possible, by promoting health and maintaining as much health as possible, which we think could be the best missions in the world of the health care system, to be supported by first-level health care (Van Bennekom 2004).

Evidence in the scientific literature

If one looks in the international scientific literature, one can also find objective arguments in favor of the development of primary health care.

1. Starfield and Shi (Starfield 2002)

Starfield and Shi (Starfield 2002) ranked thirteen industrialized countries with more than five million people according to the level of importance attached to primary health care in their health system, and compared them for indicators of health population, and the cost of health services. The authors observed that the more the system has a strong focus on primary care, the lower the costs of all health care services. The impact of a primary care orientation is also positive on a variety of population health indicators, particularly in the early years of life of the population. A positive impact is also felt for older people, but will be more sensitive to the importance of overall health system financing and first- and second-line coordination, which should enable effective referrals to specialize and more of need.

Among the fifteen characteristics used to score the countries studied, three health system characteristics and two characteristics related to primary care practices distinguish in particular the least performing countries in terms of primary health care. System-related and underperforming characteristics in poorer performing countries are: equitable distribution of resources, universal insurance coverage, and low direct personal financial participation; the characteristics of primary care practices are the provision of comprehensive primary care services and family-oriented services. According to Starfield and Shi, a health system reform that, in addition to placing greater emphasis on primary health care, would focus on these characteristics, should contribute to better overall health, and a lower level of health cost.

A similar study of ten countries in 1991 (Starfield 1991) also found a positive impact of primary care developed. It was further indicated that the outcomes of health care services are also influenced by the presence and performance of other social services, and an adequate public education system.

According to these two studies, Belgium ranks among the lowest-ranked countries for the place left to primary health care.

According to Starfield (Starfield 2005), the number of active general practitioners has a positive influence on health indicators, while once a certain threshold is exceeded, the growing number of specialists has a negative effect. Primary health care also improves the equity of health services. A health system based on sustained primary health care would, therefore, be more equitable, more effective and more efficient.

According to B. Starfield, primary health care actors allow adequate management of front-line demands, with a baseline after necessity assessment, as opposed to specialists whose job is to search for "zebras among horses ". Primary care providers can, therefore, limit unnecessary technical examinations. Primary health care also provides a holistic approach to the different co-morbidities presented by patients taking into account the social, family, psychological, cultural particularities of the person. The specialists have the function to focus on pathologies related to specific spheres of medicine and to control them well. If the two professions are complementary, patients are in great need of the function of synthesis and monitoring of generalists. Finally, primary health care is best placed to monitor the overall health of the population, and to identify the most frequent and important needs.

2. Macinko

Macinko et al. (Macinko 2003)also studied OECD data from 1980 to 1998 to study the contribution of primary health care to health indicators. Their study allows them to observe that the emphasis on primary health care is inversely associated with all-cause mortality, premature mortality for asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, pneumonia, cardiovascular disease, and heart disease. The author concludes that a strong primary care system and practice characteristics such as geographical regulation of supply, continuity, coordination, community orientation are associated with better health of the population.

The authors also note that in all these years, few countries have improved the basic essentials of their primary care system, and this is true for Belgium, which since 1980 has kept the same score, among the lowest.

There is a long list of bibliographic references, which also show a correlation between the development of primary health care, better results for health indicators (morbidity and mortality), better user satisfaction and lower costs for social security systems. At the European level, there is the summary report of the Health Evidence Network (HEN), a service of the World Health Organization Europe, published on the basis of extensive bibliographic research (more than one hundred references) or the European report. Primary care, published by the Dutch Gezondheidsraad in 2004 (Gezondheidsraad 2004), which also reports on a lengthy literature search showing the highest efficiency and effectiveness of health systems based on sustained primary care. ï¾

Patient Satisfaction

The same Health Evidence Network study (HEN 2004) reports that, except in the UK (probably for reasons of too small overall budget allocated to the health system), the level of satisfaction is higher in the countries that provide care important primary health care. For example, Denmark has the highest rate of public satisfaction with health care, which is attributed to the high availability of primary health care in that country. But patient satisfaction also depends on the type of services offered by primary health care: delivery mode of care, accessibility outside office hours, identified GP, continuity, prevention.

A survey conducted by Health Test (Health Test 2000) with a representative sample of the Belgian population, provides information that:

95% of people already have a doctor, and 75% the same for more than five years. Of the 5% without a GP, more than half would be willing to limit themselves to one GP, either spontaneously or if there is a financial incentive.

90% of respondents favor a centralized medical file, and among them, 92% find that it is the generalist who must be the holder of this task. 87% felt that specialists should be obliged to send the results and examination reports to the GP holding the file.

Staggering gets less adhesion. However, a number of patients would return to the GP for first contact if there was a financial benefit to doing so. It should be noted in the comments of this survey, the lack of knowledge of the population on both curative and preventive activities that can be advantageously performed in general practice.

This information shows that for the population too, the general practitioner, the central actor of primary health care is very important. This is not why resistance to the development of primary health care should be explained as the basis and basis for public health care.

According to the same article reporting a survey of general practitioners, they consider enrolling all patients in a doctor of their choice as a priority for the reorganization of primary care. This would mean that the opinion of many generalists does not correspond to what some voices in the profession want to imply.

But Then, Why Do Not We Develop More Primary Health Care?

This is the question posed by the Health Evidence Network (HEN 2004): despite the accumulation of evidence for primary health care, the allocation of resources, in most countries, still favors hospitals and care specialized.

Part of the reason, according to this report (HEN 2004), is the perception of what primary health care is, what it has to offer: policy makers, as well as many health professionals see it as a low-level activity, with a low effect on mortality and morbidity, and as having a triage role for access to hospitals, rather than considering their actual and positive contribution to health gain. .

This inefficiency in resource allocation, however, has implications for the fairness and efficiency of services. This could explain why increasing public spending on the health care system does not improve equity of access or outcomes proportionally, and has less impact on average health status than might be expected. It therefore seems that politicians, health professionals, and the public need to be better informed about the concept of primary care and the benefits they can bring.

In Belgium, primary care and general medicine, which is the backbone, have been in crisis for several decades. These social and health professions, which are fundamental, are the subject of a disenchantment of professionals and public authorities: training conditioning, absorption of all care by the second and third levels (hospitals and services academics) low political interest highlighted in several international studies, derisory financial allocations for missions theoretically assigned to primary care.

We note the existence in Belgium of multiple models of primary care dispensation. Without clearly defined policy orientations, individual or collective providers will pursue their own goals, logically and understandably. These models can either converge if one organizes them in this direction, or camp on irreconcilable positions.

In the absence of these choices, we fear that the general "outpatient" sector will be confined to filling the tasks abandoned by the hospital sector by default; local services will dry up and home care will be structured solely in relation to the management of hospital flows. In quantitative terms, at the financial level, we would witness the increase of the current inflator trend, and in qualitative terms, on the human level, we would mortgage the taking into account of individuals as a whole and the humanization of care structures.

The World Health Organization, in its World Health Report 2003, states that while quality of care depends to some extent on individual caregiver characteristics, levels of performance are much more dependent on the organization of the health care system where the work is done. For the World Health Organization, recognizing that the quality of health care is primarily system-related is the first step towards improving both the process and the outcomes of health care.

Primary Care Vs Secondary Care

Health care involves the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of illness, injury or mental disorder. Health care is provided by qualified professionals to improve well-being. Several countries have different health systems. Some are free and others are paid, and some countries have a mixed system. The general configuration includes the curative, preventive and administrative sectors. The exact hierarchy differs from country to country. The health sector has levels depending on the delivery of health care: primary, secondary and tertiary.

What Is The Difference Between Secondary And Primary Health Care?

Primary health care is for a larger group, while secondary health care is for a few people.

Primary care is the first contact, while secondary care may or may not be the first contact according to the national health system.

The primary care system allows patients to self-guide, while the secondary care system gets self-referral patients as well as primary care centers.

25 Latest Tips For Beauty To Live More Happy Life Than Earlier

Beauty is not a question of genes. With these care, fitness and psycho tricks, you're guaranteed to look great every day and feel the same way.

1. Smile

Friendly we feel accepted and confirmed. Investigations also showed that people who look happy are considered more beautiful. Even your own brain switches to positive when we smile - even if we do not feel like it.

2. Refine Your Skin

Make-up optimizes the complexion invisibly and gives you the good feeling to look better. Others will judge that, studies show. Foundations with soft focus dip the face in soft light, those with new pigments that last long, provide a velvety touch.

3. Show Teeth

This is quite unaggressive meant: Let your teeth flash - white, well-groomed, with rosy gums. This signals youthful power, vital health and good genes. To keep it that way (or will) clean it regularly with a whitening toothpaste and go to dental hygiene twice a year or make an appointment for a whitening. The best whitening methods for the home have been tested here for you.

4. Keep Your Attitude

Then you will certainly not be overlooked, whether you are 1.80 m or 1.59 m tall. Best basis: head up, shoulder blades together, slightly tense the muscles of the abdomen and buttocks. Because this is also a question of balance, more often do the yoga exercise "The tree": stand on one leg, press the sole of the other leg at knee height, palms facing each other in front of the chest. Imagine your head being pulled to the ceiling like a thread. Count to 10, then change the pillar.

5. The Optimal Hair Color

Warm brown with red reflexes or dark brown with ashen note? Mostly fine nuances decide on whether your complexion blossoms visually, because your hair color stands well to face you. Hairdressers have many options to create this individual nuance. In the Paul Mitchell salons, for example, extra color ("color shots") are added to the color. Produces opaque or transparent shades, depending on the base coloration.

6. Pats

Have you ever consciously felt how you feel? Treat yourself to half an hour break with your favorite relaxing music and massage your legs, arms and the front of the body with a fragrant oil (e.g: "Huile Divine" by Caudalie, around 27 euros). In this self-massage you explore your body and learn to like it as it is, with its rough and soft sides. This activates self-awareness.

7. Always Stay Relaxed

Hardened neck muscles, drooping shoulders, painful crosses - tensions affect the appearance more than you think, even make you feel jammed. Invigorating countermeasure: Those who jump regularly on the mini-trampoline, strengthens the abdominal and back muscles. This makes it immediately lively and in the long run less susceptible to further tension.

8. Hair Up!

Updos look sexy and seductive, but also fit the image of a power woman. The difference is in the styling: Are soft strands around the face and neck curling, or do you impress with a correct impaction? Decide on the occasion and make sure that the look fits your mental day shape, then you look authentic. Always trendy, casual or accurate: banana, ponytail, chignon.

9. Everything On Rouge

A touch of color enchanted. The complexion immediately looks fresh and refreshed, the face shape is perfected. Modeling rule: Rouge, which is applied rather steeply, makes faces appear narrower, distributed diagonally to horizontally and widened optically. Attractiveness Plus: The higher the color accent is placed on the cheeks, the more interesting a face appears to us. (Rouge e.g: from Artdeco)

10. Celebrate Your Feelings

Movement, music, enjoyment, fragrance, sensual care or the commitment to things that are really important in life - each person has their own individual way to awaken in themselves positive feelings and feelings. If we allow them, show them and live them out, we seem alive and real. And best of all, your energy vibrations also radiate to other people - and come back to you as emotional feedback.

11. Perfectly Shaped Upper Arms

Gentle muscles signal sportiness and energy. They happen almost casually if you do some daily push-ups or push yourself up and down with your forearms on the armrests of the office chair. The best exercises for defined upper arms can be found here. In addition, daily massage a firming care (for example, "His Fermes Mousse" by Jeanne Piaubert, 60 euros.) And: drink a lot!

12. Bodyguards For Dewy Skin

Attractiveness researchers know: A well-pigmented, rosy complexion is an indication of young skin (with freckles also having a young image). So that the Forever-young-look is not clouded by pigment shifts, think of sunscreen at a young age - not only in the summer. Day care and make-up should therefore have a minimum SPF of 15 (which also applies to the hand cream, by the way).

13. Individual Summer Look

That skin is brighter in winter than in summer, is no reason to run around as a pale appearance. Either use facial care with an integrated self-tanner (e.g: Clarins Self-Tanning Concentrate that you can mix with your usual facial care or, very subtly, mix Day Cream on the back of the hand with one or two drops of Make-up Concentrate (e.g: "Color to Mix" by Ruby stone, 30 euros) .The result is a complexion with tailor-made tint.

14. They Are Unique

If you emphasize that with a scent that not everyone wears, you will notice others as well. Take a look at "niche scents" (samples e.g: at ausliebezumduft.de). Or create your own by combining scents that complement each other. Example: the sensually-fresh cologne "Vanilla & Anise", around 95 euros, and the spicy "Grapefruit cologne" by Jo Malone (around 100 euros).

15. Sexy Hip Swing

Do not be frustrated if your butt is too bulky, make the best of it like Marilyn Monroe - a sexy swinging gait. How to practice the hip swing: Loosely put down and describe with the hips 8 - 10 times in one, 10 times in the other direction. Enhances the sex appeal: consciously confronting one's feet while walking. Of course, it is more stunning in high heels than in flat ballerinas. Painless in high heels? Here are the best tips!

16. Show Cleavage

This is no longer reserved for evening performances, but also announced during the day. But then it is even more important that the skin is beautifully smooth and flawless. Care with evening primrose oil, yam root and hops extract strengthens the skin structure and strengthens the natural hold (e.g: "Breast Lifting Gel" by Umapuri, 48 Euro). Cleavage of terracotta powder over the décolleté or, in the evening, shimmer powder, charmingly overshadows any wrinkles.

17. The Hairstyle In Top Shape

Your hair signals who you are and how you are. Give them the best care and a top cut that suits your type and hair structure. Then the hair almost automatically falls into shape, time-consuming styling is not necessary. Waiting no longer than six weeks for a re-cut will make it easier for the hairdresser to "reproduce".

18. Enhance The Body Feeling

Stay in motion. Cycling, swimming, Nordic walking, yoga - the sport does not matter, the main thing, you have fun and stay on the ball. Tip: Especially in salsa and flamenco a great feeling for rhythm and body tension develops. You just feel great and get a completely different self-confidence - even beyond the dance floor.

19. Let Your Eyes Speak

An unspectacular emphasis on the eye contour is already enough to give the eyes more expression: a softly blurred dark brown kajallinie above (and below) and dark lashed eyelashes. Shower twice and emphasize the outer eyelashes, which deepens the look. Should he shine even more, powdering highlighter under the nachgestrichelten brows.

20. Emphasize Merits

Instead of quarreling with various beauty problems, it's better to take stock of your strengths. Brilliant teeth and beautifully curved lips with a sensational lipstick color effectively stage (e.g: "Rouge Diorific Diva" by Dior, around 40 euros) or a narrow waist and great legs proudly show and not veiled.

21. Shaken, Not Stressed

Totally tense and shaky from stress? Perched in front of the computer and tired? So you get the necessary rest and new energy for the next meeting: put down, inhale deeply twice through the nose and exhale even deeper. Then shake your whole body - arms, legs, hands, feet and throw everything away, which mentally annoys. Fidget until the tension disappears. Yawn heartily, and let's go!

22. Find Eye Contact

Three seconds decide whether you arrive at others or not. Use them for your own propaganda. Anyone who meets the look of his opposite friendly and open, looks sympathetic, credible and competent - useful in the job, conducive to flirting. Keep eye contact during the conversation, which shows interest and creates trust. If your look comes from radiant, skilfully made-up eyes, the more beautiful.

23. Stay Faithful

Your wild curly mane, your thin lips, your birthmark, your silhouette make you unmistakable. Stand by. Then, in the mass of countless other beauties, you will be perceived much more as a personality and stand-alone type than when you align their unit look.

24. Fall In Love Again

(... also in your own husband). Put simply, if you are stuck in an unromantic become permanent relationship or as a single still has not met the dream man. Nevertheless, never give up hope. In any case, the beauty effect of love togetherness (and even a single fulfilled night of love) cannot be overlooked: the whole aura changes when one feels loved and desired. The eyes shine, the skin is rosy, the movements are relaxed and supple, and one goes much more confident through life. No partner in sight? "The most beautiful is a woman after sex and after the sauna," say the Finns. So there are alternatives.

25. Supple Finger Games

If you rarely wear nail polish, you know that once the nails are painted, you suddenly move your hands much more gracefully than usual. Especially when they are perfectly cared for. Treat them more often a professional manicure and (colored) high gloss (lacquer e.g: from Maybelline). Finger Mudras also promote the grace and strengthen, like the Prithivi Mudra, energy and self-confidence: slightly compress the crests of thumb and ring finger of both hands, fingers stretch. Hold for 5 to 10 minutes.

Physical Exercise Can Reduce Adipose Tissue In The Heart

2019-09-29T01:02:00.002+05:00

Physical Exercise Can Reduce Adipose Tissue In The Heart

Strength training and endurance training can reduce the amount of adipose tissue in the heart of obese. It shows a clinical randomized intervention study at Rigshospitalet. This is new knowledge that may prove important in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Elevated levels of epicardial and pericardial adipose tissue have been shown to be a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease in scientific studies. However, knowledge about why it is dangerous to have too much heart fat and how to reduce it is still limited.

A Danish research project at Rigshospitalet gives us new knowledge about heart fat. Here, researchers have investigated whether endurance and strength training can play a role in reducing the amount of fat in and around the heart for abdominally obese and inactive people. The results of the clinical randomized intervention study have just been published in the international scientific journal JAMA Cardiology.

Physical Exercise Reduces Heart Fat

One of the main conclusions of the study is that it is possible to reduce the amount of heart fat by performing physical exercise in the form of strength and endurance training. For a doctor and PhD student Regitse Højgaard Christensen, who is one of the researchers behind the study, this is a significant finding.

Heart fat is a relatively new area of research, and there are few studies that have looked at how to reduce it. Our study is interesting because it shows that by physical exercise it is possible to reduce the amount of fat in the heart. While this may not be so surprising, it is something we have not previously had clinical evidence for, explains Regitse Højgaard Christensen.

The study is based on 39 healthy, obese and physically inactive participants who, randomized into three groups, completed different types of physical training over 12 weeks.

Group 1: performed 45 minutes of aerobic endurance training three times a week.

Group 2: strengthened 45 minutes three times a week.

Group 3: served as a control group and did not exercise. In addition to training, participants maintained their normal lifestyle for all 12 weeks.

Several Types Of Training Work

The experiment showed that in the participants who endured endurance training, the inner fat layer was reduced by 32%, compared to those who did not exercise. In those who were strength trained, the reduction of 24% was compared with the control group. Compared to reducing the outer fat layer of the heart, researchers found only a 31% reduction in strength training compared to those who did not exercise. Endurance training proved in the trial not to have a significant effect.

For Regitse Højgaard Christensen, it is especially interesting that both strength and endurance training appear to have an effect.

It is uplifting to see that different types of exercise can reduce heart fat. This means that people with specific exercise preferences, or who for physical reasons can only perform certain types of exercise, can still reduce heart fat and thus probably reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, she explains.

Maybe Possible To Reduce Heart Fat Even More

During the entire training period, participants maintained their normal lifestyle including their diets. The effect on the adipose tissue in and around the heart is therefore probably due to unchanged diets. However, the other study has shown that changes in the diet can also reduce the innermost fat layer around the heart. It gives reason to assume that it may be possible to reduce the amount of heart fat even more.

- One can imagine that endurance training in combination with changing diets will have an even greater effect on the amount of adipose tissue, explains Regitse Højgaard Christensen.

Combined training is part of international guidelines for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, according to Regitse Højgaard Christensen, it will also be interesting in future studies to investigate what effect on the amount of heart fat can be obtained by performing both strength and endurance training.

Confirmation That Physical Exercise Benefits

It is scientifically well established that physical exercise is beneficial in both primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, the study does not give reason to change the recommendations regarding physical training.

We all know that exercise is a good thing and that it reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, among other things by reducing blood pressure, cholesterol and weight. With our study, we have now identified a new mechanism, namely the reduction of heart fat, through which exercise helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, says Regitse Højgaard Christensen.

However, more research into heart fat is needed before we can fully understand what role adipose tissue plays for our health.

We especially need more basic research to understand the role of the various types of heart fat, and to establish normal values for fat around the heart, so that we can better tell when we have too much. Finally, more research will be needed to understand the biological mechanism of how we reduce heart fat, concludes Regitse Højgaard Christensen.

Study Design

Over 12 weeks, 39 participants were randomized to complete three different types of physical training:

Group 1: supervised aerobic endurance training 3 times a week for 45 minutes

Group 2: supervised strength training 3 times a week for 45 minutes

Group 3: no training.

Prior to the trial, participants were measured on a number of parameters including, weight, height, BMI, solid blood sugar and the amount of fat in their heart using MRI scans.

After the 12-week intervention, the participant was again measured on the corresponding parameters, including MRI scans to measure changes in the amount of epicardial fat and pericardial fat.

Throughout the trial, participants were encouraged to maintain their normal lifestyle and asked once a month to report their dietary intake over 4 days.

Attempt Participants

Participants in the study were healthy persons over 18 years of age

Abdominal overweight (waist / height ratio ≥0.5 and / or waist dimensions ≥88 cm for women and ≥102 cm for men

The 15 Best Breakfasts With Enough Protein!

2019-09-22T23:07:00.001+05:00

The 15 Best Breakfasts With Enough Protein!

Why is a healthy breakfast important?

Breakfast is often considered to be the most important meal of the day, although for us athletes we often find that the most important meals of the day are those before and after workouts. But breakfast is still a very important meal.

The reason breakfast is so important falls under its name ... since you are fasting as you sleep at night! When you are asleep, your body's metabolism slows down, you are still burning calories and this means that once you wake up you need to give your body the nutrients and energy to start your day off dynamically. When it comes to your health and fitness, it is important that your breakfast is rich in nutrients. Read on for what are the top protein-rich breakfast foods.

Low Carb Diet (Low Carb): Menu And Recipes For Good Diet: Click hare

1. High Protein Granules

Good old porridge! Oat flakes are often described as the champions' breakfast where a warm dish not only leaves you with a full stomach and a nice feel, but also gives you long lasting energy.

2. Oat Benefits

Oats are a good choice for many reasons: as an appetizer it is a good source of complex carbohydrates and fiber, which not only helps to facilitate digestion but at the same time gives you the feeling that you are full for longer.

In addition, soluble fiber found in oats, a compound called beta glucan, has been shown in several studies to help lower blood pressure, regulate blood sugar and reduce the risk of diabetes. In fact, oats are a food that is recommended for consumption to improve heart health as it reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease (the world's number one cause of death).

3. Oat Recipes

To get the most out of oats, add a scoop of Impact Whey Protein after cooking or if you are a vegetarian or lactose intolerant try a scoop from Soy Protein Isolate. Adding a protein scoop not only adds an extra 20g of good quality protein to your breakfast, but by choosing your favorite flavor, you will feel that you are eating sweet, without the need to add high-calorie fillings, such as sugar and syrup. Why not try fresh blackberry granola and new Impact Whey Protein stevia flavors? It's one of those mornings that can make you feel excited about your breakfast.

Yogurts are a good source of dairy, calcium and vitamin D and more and more people are choosing to enjoy a healthy bowl of fruit and yogurt for breakfast. Most of the time, supermarkets and food companies have become part of a smart marketing strategy, naming many yogurts as low fat. But did you know that low-fat yogurts often result in high sugar? Eating too much refined sugar can give you a temporary boost of energy, but in terms of exercise, sugar can get you back. If you have little but are trying to reduce your sugar intake you can replace the usual high sugar yogurt with Greek yogurt! Greek yogurt contains up to 10g of protein per 100g.

Recipe With Yogurt

My favorite addition to Greek yogurt is a scoop Impact Whey Myprotein Chocolate Caramel (or any Impact whey has chocolate) and frozen berries. If you want to add more carbohydrates to your breakfast, try adding instant oatmeal with banana or muesli.

8. Oat bran

Oat bran may not sound very familiar to you, but it is a great breakfast with high fiber content and few sugars. Oat bran is a product derived from the outer bark of oat seed and is a good source of low glycemic index of complex carbohydrates. Derived from oats, the beta glucans they contain help maintain healthy cholesterol levels while helping your digestion and providing you with an excellent source of both soluble and insoluble fibers. It's not high in protein, but adding a scoop of protein to your bowl in the morning can provide a perfect taste and 20g of protein!

9. Quinoa Oats

You've probably heard of classic oatmeal, but have you heard of quinoa porridge? If you're looking for a high protein option for breakfast and gluten free, this dish may take a little longer to cook from oats, but it's worth it! Quinoa is a popular superfood full of protein, fiber and minerals such as magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, manganese, potassium and iron!

10. Benefits of Oatmeal

It has also been shown to help with weight loss! In addition, quinoa is a source of flavonoids, mainly quercetin, which have been shown in scientific studies to have various health benefits, including action to prevent cancer. The high protein content of quinoa provides a good amino acid profile and is therefore a suitable way for vegetarians to consume a protein rich and gluten free breakfast.

11. Breakfast With Eggs

How would you like to eat egg? With a smile and extra protein!

Eggs are a very enjoyable idea of a salty breakfast, high in protein and low in carbohydrates. Eggs are an excellent source of protein that is often avoided due to excessive saturated fat and cholesterol. However, cholesterol found in eggs is known to be good cholesterol which can be really beneficial to health, and if you do not eat 15 eggs a day you will be fine with the amount of saturated fat!

In any case, it is an order that, in addition to other things, improves the cardiovascular framework. We let you know all that you have to think about its training in the accompanying article.

What is your Body Type: Click Hare

Female weight training has appeared as of late that this game isn't only a men's issue. Notwithstanding, there is a great deal of numbness about it, and it is still observed with some hesitance since the remarkable muscles of the members stand out from the perfect of female excellence.

It is obvious that the image that is sometimes associated with female bodybuilding is that of professional bodybuilders. It is even speculated that most of them use anabolic steroids, which are synthetic testosterone, along with other drugs to achieve the highest possible level of bodybuilding.

Although this does not mean that it is the general rule, since there has been an evolution in female bodybuilding with the emergence of new modalities where female forms are given more relevance.

Certainly, you should know is that no physical bodybuilding training makes it possible to get a bodybuilder's body if it is not associated with nutrition. In fact, food is the most important aspect in bodybuilding.

Among other things, competing athletes must have a lot of self-confidence and a huge amount of discipline. This joins a physical ability to train 5 to 6 times per week.

The preparation for a bodybuilding show takes months of diets and intense exercises. In addition to increased muscle tone, bodybuilders may suffer other physical changes or disorders in their health. Next, we will take advantage of this article to dismantle some myths of female bodybuilding.

Some Myths About Female Bodybuilding!

1. Weights Do Not Make You Get Volume

The first thing you should know is that women do not produce as much testosterone as men, one of the hormones responsible for increasing muscle size, and therefore it is impossible for them to gain large amounts of muscle mass.

It is true that most of them have a good genetics together with an incredible work ethic, a fact that allows them to gain muscle quickly after weight training. Even women who do not use steroids can get a muscular body without cellulite.

On the other hand, women who only focus on cardio will have a hard time getting the look they want.When it comes to lifting a very light weight, there is no worse mistake. The muscle responds to resistance and if the resistance is too light, there will be no reason for the body to gain muscle mass.

2. Exercise Does Not Increase Chest Size

Next, you should know that it is impossible to increase the size of the breasts through weight training, since what it does is increase the size of the back. Certainly, the only way to increase the size of the breasts is to gain fat, just the opposite that is achieved with bodybuilding work.

3. If You Stop Training The Muscle Becomes Fat

Finally, you should take into consideration that fat and muscle are 2 completely different types of tissues. What happens on many occasions is that when women decide to suspend the bodybuilding program, they begin to lose muscle due to inactivity and also leave the diet.

As a result, poor eating habits, combined with a lower metabolism due to inactivity and decreased muscle mass levels, muscle is lost and fat accumulates.

"For me life is to be continuously hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist but to move forward to conquer"

Said by: Arnold Schwarzenegger

What Are The Benefits Of Female Bodybuilding?

Without any doubt, there is no other discipline that provides the results that bodybuilding has in a male or female physicist. The benefits of weight training along with proper nutrition and supplements speak for themselves.

Weight training, technically speaking, works every part of the body inside and out. And is that lifting weights activates the muscles of the body increasing the cardiovascular rate and, therefore, blood flow. Weightlifting in particular allows the athlete to work the muscles so they can regenerate and become bigger and stronger.

As muscle fibers get stronger, bone density increases and the body begins to function better overall. This translates into better sleep, increased energy, faster hormone reproduction and greater sexual desire.

How Bodybuilding Affects Health?

In the first place, for those bodybuilders who use dopants the sequels can be numerous and appear early. Among the main consequences that arise from the practice of this activity include personality change, impotence, hair loss, back acne and heart and kidney problems.

Also, overtraining is also very negative for health and it is very important to know when to take a break. Intense training and the risk of injury go hand in hand, especially in the joints. In fact they deteriorate faster since they are not made to support so much weight.

However, you should keep in mind that if the training is done properly and without doping products, bodybuilding is a good sport that improves the cardiovascular system, delays the onset of age-related diseases and prevents back pain.

Finally, remember that female bodybuilding can be as important for women as it is for men, as long as some precautions are taken into account. Among its benefits, workouts help increase strength, tone muscle and improve your physical condition.

Lifestyle Of Men In Their 30s Can Cost Lives

2019-09-15T16:39:00.001+05:00

Lifestyle Of Men In Their 30s Can Cost Lives

Prevention is a foreign word to many men in their 30s, and it has serious consequences. New figures from PFA show that lifestyle diseases continue to affect men far more often than women. If men can learn to take better care of themselves in their 30s, they will be able to greatly avoid serious and deadly diseases in their 50s.

See the good tips further down in the article:

Do You Know How To Eat And Exercise According To Your Body Type?

30-year-old men hide well in PFA's health statistics, but then things start to go wrong. Young men do not take good care of themselves, which is why the risk of having a serious lifestyle illness increases significantly.

Among PFA's customers, men over 50, according to new figures, have 20 percent greater risk of being hit by a critical illness and using their insurance than women of the same age. And it is diseases that could often be avoided that affect men.

“Over the past three years, blood clots in the brain and balloon enlargements fill a total of 31 percent of the payments to men against only 10 percent of the payments to women. It emphasizes that especially young men should take better care of themselves so that they avoid lifestyle diseases when they turn 50, ”says Unn Wakefield, director of insurance at PFA.

Good Habits Can Prolong Life

Few 30-year-olds probably think about how their habits affect them later in life. But there is good reason to do so. Men in particular have a tendency to resort to some bad habits in their 30s, which can be expensive on the health account.

“For most people, the 30s are a busy period where you might change your singles life with your boyfriend, toddler, house and garden while also having a full career. Therefore, it is important to make some realistic plans for everyday health, such as moving more - taking the bike to work instead of the bus or car - sleeping an extra hour and drinking more water. It is also important that health becomes a natural theme in the workplace, where we spend a large part of the day, ”says Unn Wakefield.

PFA has a number of good advice for men that are easy to fit into everyday life and that everyone can say inspire.

Good Advice From PFA For A Healthy Lifestyle For Men In Their 30s

1. Sleep For Stronger Health:

As you sleep, a sea of vital repair processes are going on inside your body. During the deep stages of sleep you produce important growth hormones that delay aging and build up muscle tissue. Remember that you can't make up for the week's sleep deficit by sleeping long on the weekend.

2. Reduce Stress With The Right Diet:

A variety of vitamins and drugs can prepare you for a demanding everyday life. Research has shown that an increased intake of B vitamins, such as found in chicken breasts, eggs and coarse rye bread, results in greater mental surplus, less stress and an improved ability to tackle brain-demanding tasks. Also dietary fiber, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin C and magnesium (almonds, sesame seeds, beans) are perfect choices for the antistress menu. It is also important to get exercise; if time is short, try high-intensity interval training (running) or crossfit, which strengthens both muscle and fitness.

3. Watch Out Below:

Make it a habit to check your testicles for nodules about every three months and go to the doctor if you notice tenderness or nodules. Testicular cancer especially affects younger men in the 25-35 age group and the number of men affected by the disease is on the rise. The good news is that treatment for testicular cancer is very effective, and approx. 95 percent of all patients can be cured.

“We know it can be difficult to change habits on your own, especially when the trap first hits 10-20 years later. But if you just leave, the statistics speak their clear language, and then things go wrong. That is why PFA runs voluntary health programs with many of our corporate clients, where employees can get inspiration for healthy habits - both at work and at leisure, ”says Unn Wakefield.

Low Hanging Fruit

Specialist consultant and clinical lecturer at Rigshospitalet Mikael Bitsch. has written a cookbook with healthy recipes, pointing out that there are some relatively easy ways to reduce the risk of lifestyle diseases. However, it requires that you become aware of any bad habits first.

"It is really very easy to prevent several of the critical illnesses.So part of the problem is about denial," says Mikael Bitsch and continues:

"We all know that we need to prioritize running, that we must reduce calorie intake and take a smaller piece of layer cake and settle for a single steak instead of two.For example, a meatless day a week will mean better health, both in relation to cancer and cardiovascular disease. Small changes make a big difference, but it takes strength and motivation. "

Facts

334,000 Danes have a critical illness insurance with PFA. Through the insurance, customers receive a sum of money if they are diagnosed, which according to the conditions is considered a critical illness.

Women in their 30s and 40s with critical illness insurance at PFA received more payments in 2016 than men per. insured, but then the picture reverses. In 2016, men over 50 had 20 percent are at greater risk of being affected by a serious illness and using their critical illness insurance with PFA than women of the same age group.

Lifestyle diseases affect men more often than women. Balloon enlargements and blood clots in the brain made up a total of 31% of payments to men against 10 per cent. of payments to women during the period January 2014 - February 2017. The increase in balloon enlargement and blood clots in men occurs gradually, from the age of 40 to 55 years.

However, cancer is the most frequent reason why both women and men used their critical illness insurance with PFA during the period 2017-2019 (73% of payments to women relate to cancer, compared to 48% of payments to men).

There Are Three Types For The Body!

American psychologist William Herbert Sheldon classifies the body as three types (somatip): Ectomorph, Mesomorph and Endomorph.

Defining Body Type Is One Of The Keys To Achieving A Successful Diet And Adapting It To The Needs Of Each Individual

Since these body types have been identified and based on data from the University of Houston (United States), nutritionists, trainers, and doctors have taken this information into consideration to design individualized nutrition plans.

1. Ectomorph Body Type Or “Tube Type”!

One of the main features of this body type is that it is thin. This group includes those who have difficulty in gaining weight.

3. Fruits (avocado)

4. Hazelnut

5. Olive oil

6. Whole grains

Recommended Physical Activities Are:

In physical exercise, ectomorphs should do small cardiovascular activity and focus on muscle development movements.

Exercises involving weight or high physical exertion are ideal for shaping the body and increasing the size.

2. Mesomorph body type or “Apple Shape”!

Women with mesomorphic body, also known as El apple-shaped body, maz are not called obese. The disadvantage of this type is that fat tends to accumulate in the lumbar region.

2. Water-rich fruits and vegetables

1. Junk food and processed foods

2. Sodium-rich foods

Recognizing the type of your body type is not always easy:

Because sometimes two or more somatipine properties may be carried. However, in general a particular type is obtained.

6 Summer Tips To Keep You Healthy

2019-09-11T18:01:00.001+05:00

6 Summer Tips To Keep You Healthy

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle in this Summer is much more than eating lettuce, drinking water and doing sports. Although there are a total of 5 clear or correct rules of 6 do's and don'ts - they are not simple to follow but the main thing is health, right?

One:

No food that answers junk food is worthy of getting into your digestive system unless you're in the middle of the desert, or stuck on a desert island with chips and Big Mac - and to sum it up only when the other option is to die of starvation. (Which is most unhealthy) Imagine junk food.

And when we talk about junk food, we mean mostly: sausages, industrial fries and fries, drinks that only Gd and Raffi know what is really in them, food-rich sweets and margarine-rich pastries. The actual meaning of the digit zero is that you cannot eat "from time to time". This is a book that is not implicitly two-sided.

Two:

Exercise once a day. Exercise can be done for an hour, but it is also possible for five minutes. Provided you exercise every day. It is possible to start a few minutes of physical activity and every three days, add five minutes to you - this is a test method that works.

It is important that you choose your favorite physical activity. So if your neighbor likes to walk and you are boring, do not go for it. Choose exercise in advance that you know you can keep up with. Most importantly, listen to your body! For example, you came to aerobics, because everyone swore to you that this is the most fun thing there is.

Notice: If you feel terrible pain at the end of the lesson, leave and look for another type of exercise.

Three:

If you were wondering how much water you should drink a day? So now remember the digit 2 and prepare 2 liters of water for you. Yes every day you need and even have to drink 2 liters water. Now the question is, why make it hard to drink water?

1. Water is the major component of the cell contents in our body.

2. They are used as a solvent for most substances in the body.

3. They give the body its volume.

4. Most of the metabolic activities take place in an aquatic environment and in some of these activities the water also participates in the chemical process.

5. Water serves as a mediating environment for transporting food materials.

6. They play a major role in regulating body heat.

7. They are the main lubricant in the joints. Have you been convinced?

Hope so.

Four:

Here you have to make three decisions with the number three:

1. Make sure that each of your five meals includes the three food fathers. For example, in the afternoon you can eat carbohydrate-nutritious fruits that provide protein and nutritious oils.

2. Those who want to maintain their weight will eat up to three tablespoons of oil a day. But no less. You can convert a tablespoon of oil into a handful of walnuts, or a tablespoon of olives without kernels, or a quarter of avocado.

3. Be-sure to eat three servings of fruit each day - it does not fatten it is simply healthy.

Five:

this is the hardest decision of all: try to have dinner no later than four hours before going to bed. Why? Because it's mostly good for digestion, and it's excellent for sleep quality.

Six:

It might surprise you, but think you should eat five meals a day. And refers to three main and large meals and two small meals. And don't forget to eat fruits and vegetables in five colors every day.

While much of the weight loss will definitely come from body fat, you will also lose weight as a result of losing extra fluid that has accumulated.

Although the body can store only about 300-500 grams of carbohydrate in a form known as glycogen, the glycogen holds about three times that weight in liquid form.

Reduced insulin levels will also allow the kidneys to release excess sodium, leading to reduced fluid storage.

In addition, making sure you are eating a lot of protein can help reduce appetite even further, while increasing your metabolism. Try to completely lower or drastically reduce all the starchy and sugary carbohydrates throughout the week. Replace those with low-carb vegetables as you increase your intake of eggs, lean meat and fish.

2. Eat Whole Foods And Avoid Most Processed Junk Food

These foods tend to be very satisfying, making it easier for you to eat less calories without feeling hungry. During the week, you should make sure to eat mostly whole foods with one ingredient.

Reduce your sauces: Take spices and sauces with high calorie density.

Fill the plate with vegetables:Fill the plate with vegetables and limit starchy carbohydrates and added fats for this week.

Choose lean proteins: Choose low-protein proteins, such as chicken and fish.

Don't drink calories: Instead, choose water, calorie-free drinks, tea or coffee.

4. Lift Weights and Try High Intensity Interval Workouts

Exercise is one of the best ways to burn fat and improve appearance.

Resistance workouts, such as weightlifting, can cause the same weight loss as regular cardio workouts. They will also help you add or maintain muscle mass and strength. Full body resistance training is also a great way to reduce the body weight of the carbohydrate and fluid stores, which can lead to a sharp loss of weight. Weightlifting can also protect hormone metabolism levels, which often decrease during the diet.

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is another effective training method. Research shows that 5-10 minutes of HIIT can lead to similar or even five times the benefits for weight loss and maintaining health from normal exercise. Similar to weightlifting, it can lower muscle carbohydrate stores faster and also increase other important aspects of weight loss, such as metabolism and fat burning hormones.

You can perform HIIT three to four times a week after your workout, or as part of your regular workout routine. It is significant to do this with 100 percent effort or intensity. Most sprints should not last longer than 30 seconds.

Here are some examples you can try. These can be done indoors or outdoors, or on cardiovascular endurance devices such as bicycles, rowing or treadmill:

20 double 10 seconds sprint with 40 seconds rest.
15 double 15 second sprint with a 30 second rest.
7 double 30 second sprint with 60 second rest.
20 double 10 second sprint with 20 seconds rest.

5. Be Active Even Outside The Gym

To burn more calories and lose more weight, you should increase your overall daily activity. In fact, your level of activity during the day, especially when you are not at a gym, plays a very important role in weight loss and obesity. For example, the difference between sitting office work and work requiring movement can reach up to 1,000 calories per day. It's like 90 to 120 minutes of high-intensity exercise.

Simple lifestyle changes, such as walking or biking to work, going up stairs, going outside, standing out, or even cleaning your home can help you burn a lot of calories.

6. Take Intermittent Fasting

This is another simple way to lose weight fast. Intermittent fasting is another effective and proven tool for reducing fat. This forces you to reduce your caloric intake, as it limits eating to a short window. There are various methods to perform, such as 16 hours fasting and 8 hours fasting, or 20 hours fasting day with a 4 hour eating window. If you combine fasting with exercise, it would be wise to do the fasting at a different time than during the workout.

7. Use These Tips to Reduce Fluid Build-Up

These additional methods can help you lose weight and look leaner and lighter.

Use Dandelion Extract: It can help reduce fluid retention.

Drinking Coffee: Coffee is a very useful and healthy source of caffeine. Research shows that caffeine can help burn more fat and get rid of excess fluid.

Pay attention to your intolerance to foods: Eating things that you are sensitive to, such as gluten or lactose, can lead to excessive fluid storage and bloating. Avoid foods you think you may be sensitive to.

A message to adopt:

By streamlining your diet and exercise regimen, you can lose a great deal of weight in one week. While it will not be a loss of pure fat, it may give you the kick-start and motivation you need to adhere to an effective diet. You don't have to do all these steps, but the more you lose weight, the more you do.

Remember, people who go on "diet diets" usually end up gaining all the weight back when they finish them. When the week is over, you need to move on to a more sustainable plan so you can continue to lose weight and maintain it.
