DANGER OF DELAYING MOTHERHOOD...

Women who delay having children enter a ‘risk zone’ of problems in their early thirties, researchers say – much earlier than was previously thought.

The risk of problems such as premature and stillbirth rises by as much as 20 per cent for women aged between 30 and 34, compared with those having babies in their late twenties.

First-time mothers have previously been told they are at high risk above the age of 35, but more and more women are putting off having children until their thirties.

Professor Ulla Waldenström, who led the study, said: ‘To our surprise we found an absolute increase in risk for negative effects on pregnancy outcomes in the age group 30-34.

These are independent of the effects of smoking and being overweight, which, when combined, lead to an even greater risk.’

In England and Wales the average age at first birth was 27.9 years in 2011 – up 1.3 years in a decade – and the average age of all mothers was almost 30.

Some of the country’s leading obstetricians and fertility specialists have warned that women who put off having children until their thirties are ‘defying nature’ and may not become mothers at all because of increased rates of risk and infertility.

Professor Waldenström’s team, from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm and the University of Bergen looked at data from around one million first-time mothers in Sweden and Norway.

They compared the results of pregnancy in first-time mothers over the age of 30 with those aged 25 to 29.

The results showed that for women in their early thirties, there was a one-fifth higher risk of giving birth very prematurely – during weeks 22 to 31 of pregnancy – or having a stillbirth. There was also a higher risk that the unborn baby’s growth would be restricted and that the baby would die.

First-time mothers in this age group were not previously seen as at risk.

Smoking and being overweight pushed up the risks of pre-term birth, stillbirth and neonatal mortality to the same level as that for women aged 35-39, said the report in the scientific journal Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Professor Waldenström said: ‘For women individually, the risk is small, but for society at large there will be a significant number of “unnecessary” complications with so many women having children just after 30.

‘It would therefore be advisable to inform both women and men, even at schools, of how important age is to child birth.’

‘Biologically the best time is probably 20 to 30,’ she added.

Proff.  Waldenström said many women wanted more than one child, which meant the age of the first was important. She said the physiological effect of ageing on the womb and placenta was likely to explain the higher rates of complications.

"BROKEN HEART SYNDROME" IS A REAL FATAL CONDITION..

  It may be the first time for you to hear about this syndrome  "Broken Heart Syndrome"   but it is a real condition which   may be fatal in some cases.

The condition was originally called Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy. Today, it's also referred to as Stress Cardiomyopathy, Stress-Induced Cardiomyopathy or Apical Ballooning Syndrome.

Broken heart syndrome is a temporary heart condition brought on by stressful situations, such as the death of a loved one.

People with broken heart syndrome may have sudden chest pain or think they're having a heart attack.

 These broken heart syndrome symptoms may be brought on  by the heart's reaction to a surge of stress hormones.

 In broken heart syndrome, a part of your heart temporarily  enlarges and doesn't pump well, while the remainder of the  heart functions normally or with even more forceful  contractions.

Symptoms:

 The symptoms of broken heart syndrome are treatable, and    the condition usually reverses itself in about a week.

 Broken heart syndrome symptoms can mimic a heart attack.

 Common symptoms include:

   ·       Chest pain Shortness of breath

   ·       An irregular heartbeat

   ·       A generalized weakness

Causes:

 The exact cause of broken heart syndrome is unclear.

 It's thought that a surge of stress hormones, such as  adrenaline, might temporarily damage the hearts of some  people.

 How these hormones might hurt the heart or whether  something else is responsible isn't completely clear.

 A temporary constriction of the large or small arteries of the  heart may play a role.

Broken heart syndrome is often preceded by an intense physical or emotional event.

Broken heart syndrome is not similar to Heart attack because in heart attack, mostly there is a cause like a blood clot which blocks any of the cardiac arteries leading to diminished heart blood supply.

Broken heart syndrome affects women far more often than men. It appears that most people who have broken heart syndrome are women 50 or older.

 Complications:

 In rare cases, broken heart syndrome is fatal.

 However, most people who experience broken heart  syndrome quickly recover and don't have long-lasting  effects.

 Other complications of broken heart syndrome include:

   ·       Disruptions in your heartbeat.

   ·       A fast or slow heartbeat.

   ·       Backup of fluid into your lungs (pulmonary edema).

 It's also possible that you may have broken heart syndrome  again if you have another stressful event.

Treatment:

 There are no standard treatment guidelines for treating  broken heart syndrome.

 Treatment is similar to treatment for a heart attack until the  diagnosis is clear.

 Most people stay in the hospital while they recover.

 Once it's clear that broken heart syndrome is the cause of  your symptoms, medications like angiotensin-converting  enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, beta blockers or diuretics can be  prescribed.

These medications help reduce the workload on your heart while you recover and may help prevent further attacks.

Many patients make a full recovery within one to two months.

 Procedures that are often used to treat a heart attack, such  as balloon angioplasty and stent placement, or even surgery,  are not helpful in treating broken heart syndrome.

 These procedures treat blocked arteries, which are not the  cause of broken heart syndrome. However, coronary  angiography is often used to diagnose exactly what's the  cause of the chest pain.

GOD OF IMPOSSIBILITIES PART 2

A man who lost his right hand in an accident at work has had it successfully reattached after doctors grafted it to his ankle for a month.

Xiao Wei underwent reattachment surgery in Changsha, Hunan province, after badly injuring himself in November.

Initially, doctors said they would be unable to save his limb.

 Mr Wei said: "I was just shocked and frozen to the spot, until colleagues unplugged the machine and retrieved my hand and took me to the hospital. "I am still young, and I couldn't imagine life without a right hand." 

However, doctors at a larger hospital offered a solution and opted to sew the hand to the ankle to stop it from dying while they treated his other injuries. 

Wei’s doctor told Rex Features: “His injury was severe.

Besides ripping injuries, his arm was also flattened. We had to clear and treat his injuries before taking on the hand reattachment surgery.” 

Nearly a month after his hand was severed, Wei had recovered sufficiently to undergo reattachment surgery. According to doctors he will need to undergo several other procedures, but they are hopeful that he will regain full function of his hand.

After reading this article I said to myself if man made by God could go this far and even more to make what would have been seen to be impossible to be possible then what about He that made man will there be any thing hard for him to do?

He is asking you in 

Jeremiah 32; 27. Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me? KJB.

 Every minute of this life is now filled with sad news, deaths, terrorism, health challenges, marital problems, accidents on land, sea and air the list goes on, that at a point the future looks hopeless, some may even be forced to ask is there still God? 

The good news is there is God in heaven and He see everything but the question for you is do you see God in your problems? 

Do you acknowledge His powers and call on Him for help for it is written in the gospel according to Jeremiah 3; 33.  Call to me and I'll answer you, and will tell you about great and hidden things that you don't know.' (ISV).

And when you call on Him, have faith because without faith it’s impossible to please God (Hebrew 11; 6 NIV) and you will see God at work for you.

     ·       Joshua called him and the sun stood still at night,

   ·       Elijah called him at Mount Carmel and it rained,

   

     ·       Job called on Him and his situation changed for good,

     ·       Daniel called Him in the lion’s den and the Lion’s could not hurt him,

     ·       Blind Bartimaeus called Him and his sight was restored,

    ·       The woman with issue of blood for 12 years only touched Him and was made whole etc.

You too can call Him no matter the storm in your life and you will be made whole, just have faith and call and watch him turn that impossible situation possible.

I am a living testimony of the Lords doings; I wait to hear your testimony too. Feel free to share, you can strengthen some ones faith today, giving up is not the answer, Just call with faith and He will answer.

I leave you at the secret place of the Most High, remain blessed in the Lord in Jesus name, Amen!

HOW HEALTHY IS YOUR PROSTATE GLAND...???

8 Tips To Protect Against Cancer Prostate

1- The Power of Fruits and Veggies.

Nutrients and vitamins contained in fruits and vegetables may lower your risk of getting prostate cancer. Green vegetables contain compounds that help your body break down cancer-causing substances (carcinogens). A nutrient-rich diet may also help slow the spread of cancer. By eating fruits and vegetables throughout the day, you will be less likely to fill up on junk foods with little nutrition.

 2- Tomatoes and Other Red Foods.

Tomatoes, watermelon, and other red foods owe their bright color to a powerful antioxidant called lycopene. Studies show that men, who consume tomato products, including sauces and ketchup, have a lower risk of prostate cancer than those who don't (CP). Other findings suggest that cooking tomatoes makes it easier for your body to absorb lycopene. And the redder, the better. Lycopene accumulates during ripening. That means that pale, store-bought tomatoes that are picked too early have less lycopene than tomatoes that ripen on the vine.

 3- Feast on Fish.

Fatty acid, known as omega-3 may help reduce your risk of developing prostate cancer. Omega-3 is found in fatty fish like sardines, tuna, trout, and salmon. UCLA researchers found that when compared to a high-fat diet, a low-fat diet combined with fish oil supplements slows the growth of prostate cancer cells (UCLA, 2011). It is easier to treat cancer that has not yet spread outside the prostate.

4- Tofu and Tea.

 According to the Mayo Clinic, a nutrient called isoflavones has been linked to a reduced risk of prostate cancer (Mayo, 2011). Isoflavones are found in:

·       tofu (which is made from soybeans)

·       chickpeas

·       lentils

·       peanuts

Some studies have shown that men who drink green tea or take green tea extract supplements have a lower risk of prostate cancer than those who don't (Mayo, 2011).

 5- The Role of Fat.

 Studies indicate a link between animal fats and an increased risk of prostate cancer. In addition to meat, animal fats are found in lard, butter, and cheese. Whenever possible, replace animal-based fats with plant-based fats. Also, overcooking meat produces carcinogens, so be careful not to over-cook your meat.

This, instead of that:

·       olive oil instead of butter fruit instead of candy

·       fresh vegetables instead of pre-packaged junk foods like potato chips

·       nuts or seeds instead of cheese on your salad

6- Stop Smoking.

 A study out of the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and University of California, San Francisco, shows that prostate cancer patients who smoke are more likely to have a recurrence or die. Smokers are also more likely to have a more aggressive form of prostate cancer (HSPH, 2011). It's not too late to quit. When compared with current smokers, prostate cancer patients who quit smoking for more than 10 years had the same mortality risk as those who never smoked.

 7- Controversial Foods.

 Folate;

 Some studies suggest that low folate in your blood means higher risk for cancer. Until clinical trials are complete, there is not enough evidence to recommend folate supplements as cancer prevention (NIH).

Dairy;

 Some studies have linked dairy products with higher risk of prostate cancer, but this risk is considered small.

Alcohol;

One study showed that men who consume several drinks daily over many years were at higher risk of prostate cancer. Further studies are needed.

 8- The Importance of Exercise.

Too much fat, especially in the middle of your body, is linked to increased risk of prostate cancer.

 Regular exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight. Benefits of exercise include increased muscle mass and better metabolism. Try:

·       Walking

·       running

·       bicycling

·       swimming

 Exercise doesn't have to be boring. Vary your routine and invite your friends to participate. You're more likely to stick to exercise if it's fun.

Get rid of acne scars permanently...

Here are fifteen tips to help you... 

15: Keep your hands off Your Face;
 Here's a simple tip If you want the skin on your face to look lovely, stop touching it. Sounds easy, right? Well, good luck with that. Most of us aren't aware of how often we touch our faces. We relieve itches, wipe our lips and scratch our ears. Once you pay attention to how often you paw at your face, you may feel downright feral. Hands are the body's primary tool to interact directly with the world around us. There's plenty of blame to go around, but the world is pretty dirty. Sweat, grime and oil (not to mention bacteria and viruses) spread from person to person through use of frequently touched surfaces like door knobs, store counters and gas station pump handles. Needlessly touching your face at some point in the day is inevitable, so try to wash your hands throughout the day as well.

14: Wash your skin twice a day;
 Taking a moment to thoroughly (but gently) wash your face is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent breakouts. Grime and grease build up on your face all day, and residue from cigarette smoke, air pollution and daily living winds up there, too. Don't go overboard with the washing, however. Twice a day should do it -- once in the morning, and once at the end of your day. Use a clean washcloth, warm water and a mild soap or cleanser. This simple regimen will be effective at ridding your skin of dust, dirt, dead skin cells and bacteria. You don't want to dry out your face by stripping away all of its oil, and you can do more harm than good by agitating or weakening your skin by scrubbing too hard.

13: Work up a sweat;
 A great way to improve your skin's appearance, not to mention you’re physical, mental and emotional health is to get some regular exercise. Half-an-hour's worth of exercise three to four times a week is preferable, but any amount is better than none. Stress prompts your skin to crank up oil production, so anything you can do to reduce stress (taking a yoga class, for example) helps with breakouts. Working out also restores order to fluctuating hormone levels, which in turn reduces sebum production in the follicles. That's not the only skin benefit you get from exercise, sweating helps clear out your pores, ushering those dead skin cells to the surface where they can't cause as much trouble.

 12: Loosen up when you're working out; 
We’re all familiar with acne on our faces, but some of us break out pretty much anywhere on our bodies. One major cause of this is acne mechanica, a form of acne caused by friction, heat, and constant contact between skin and clothing or athletic gear. Headbands and helmets are likely to cause acne on the hairline, and chin straps will leave their mark as well. If you have athletic gear that rubs against your skin, try loosening it up or removing it during those times it's not in use. Many jogging suits or yoga outfits can cause acne problems as well. This is usually because they're too snug-fitting or made of synthetic fibers. Switch to loose-fitting clothes made of cotton, and you should soon start to see an improvement in your skin.

11: Don't forget to shower;
 Perhaps the only thing that feels better than going to the gym is leaving it. With that post-workout endorphin high still lingering, it's easy to wrap up a workout, go home and find a comfortable place to collapse. But when you get comfy making dinner or checking your e-mail, you're forgetting something important. When you exercise, the sweat that leaves your body through your pores takes dead skin cells with it. This is a very good thing -- it's the accumulation of these dead skin cells that can lead to blockages. However, once that sweat evaporates, it leaves salt behind on your skin. If you don't wash these dead skin cells and salt off in short order, they'll block recently cleared pores. One of the best ways to get rid of this salty build-up is to use a moisturizing body wash. Not only will it clean the salt off of your skin, but it will help replenish the moisture lost during your workout.

10: Buy some benzoyl peroxide; 
Many people who have had trouble with acne have gotten good results from using benzoyl peroxide. Although prescription versions are available (mostly for cleansers or lotions), most products with benzoyl peroxide can be obtained over the counter. There are a number of products available, but most involve a cream or gel that is applied to broken-out portions of the face. Benzoyl peroxide kills the P. acnes bacterium that causes inflammation in a blocked pore. It may take about three weeks for results to occur, so be patient.

9: Stock up on salicylic acid; 
Though it doesn't kill bacteria or have any effect upon sebum production, salicylic acid can be useful in your efforts to get rid of acne. Salicylic acid causes your skin to shed its outermost layer. By getting rid of this layer of dead skin cells, your skin will be better able to keep pores nice and clear of blockages. You'll want to avoid putting this peeling agent on any irritated or sensitive skin, or any skin that has cuts or sores. And you have to keep using it  once you stop, the benefits cease.

8: Take a look at your makeup;
When you're looking for the cause of your acne breakouts, you might want to consider your makeup. Makeup alone doesn't necessarily cause breakouts, but it certainly doesn't help. In some cases, people may notice a significant increase in facial blemishes when wearing a certain brand or type of makeup. If this is the case, switch brands or select products labeled "oil-free" or "noncomedogenic." Give it a few weeks to see if there's any difference. This definitely takes patience, which isn't always in such large supply when our skin is waging war against us. But it's worth it to switch out products (and behaviors) methodically, keeping track of what works and what doesn't. Regardless of what type of makeup you wear, always wash it off when your day is finished. Leaving makeup on overnight is a good way to make sure you'll need more of it when you wake up.

7: Ask for antibiotics;
 If over-the-counter treatments don't work, you may need to bump it up a notch and try antibiotics. These medications damage or destroy bacteria, helping the body battle infections great and small. When used to treat acne, antibiotics (which are available in pill or topical form) kill the P. acnes bacterium, thus helping to reduce existing inflammation while preventing future bacterial growth through continued use. Tetracycline is commonly prescribed for acne, and it works by taking away the bacteria's ability to produce proteins. Watch out, though -- it's not all clear skies (and skin) from here. Antibiotic treatment for acne sometimes causes dryness or scaling. Oral antibiotics can also make your skin sensitive to light, so you'll want to stock up on sunscreen or risk a very nasty burn.

 6: Consider birth control pills; 
Women who are dealing with acne can look to an unconventional source of relief: birth control pills. Not only can oral contraceptives help regulate menstrual cycles and prevent pregnancy, a prescription for these once-a-day pills may also be your ticket to clearer skin. The reason our skin goes crazy during adolescence (this is true for both genders) is that our bodies are cranking out high levels of hormones such as androgen and testosterone. These sex hormones prompt glands in the skin to produce higher levels of oil called sebum. Acne results when this excess sebum clogs up the pore along with dead skin cells. The FDA has approved three different birth control pills for treatment of acne. All three contain a mix of the hormones estrogen and progestin. These hormones seem to lower sebum production in women, resulting in less acne. This form of treatment is usually only considered once other treatments -- such as topical options -- have failed. There are drawbacks, however. For one, there's no guarantee it will work. Also, anyone on birth control pills runs the risk of potential side effects, from headache to nausea to high blood pressure. Women with certain health conditions (heart diseases and trouble with blood clots, for example) shouldn't take oral contraceptives at all.

5: Manage stress (and sebum);
 If you're not careful, all this worrying about acne is going to give you acne. Many people notice a link between feeling stressed out and experiencing acne breakouts. Some stress behaviors certainly contribute to bad skin: lack of exercise, nervously touching your face, not bathing or maintaining proper hygiene and maybe even poor diet (researchers go back and forth on diet's role in acne). But the body's chemical reaction to stress itself can play a major role in your skin's appearance. When we undergo stress, the hypothalamus prompts other cells to produce and release stress hormones, one of which is cortisol. These hormones prepare you for a "fight-or-flight" situation -- your heart rate quickens, your perception becomes sharper, and your skin produces more oil. This oil -- sebum -- is produced by glands found inside hair follicles. It travels up and out of the hair follicle, taking with it dead skin cells. When it reaches the surface, it forms a protective coating. When sebum and dead skin cells get backed up in the follicle, this is due largely to one of two reasons: something on the skin's surface has blocked the pore (like makeup or dirt), or there is an increased production of sebum (which occurs during puberty). When you get stressed out, you boost sebum levels, and your skin pays the price.

 4: Try isotretinoin;
 Occasionally, people will find that no matter how hard they try, common treatments such as salicylic acid don't produce the hoped-for results. Fortunately, there's a stronger oral medication available that your doctor can prescribe to you: isotretinoin. Isotretinoin is known by a variety of brand names (Accutane, for one), and it's been proven to be effective for treating severe acne. Interestingly, nobody is quite sure why isotretinoin works to reduce acne, but it's believed that it reduces the amount of sebum production. For some people, this drug will end their association with acne forever more; for others, it may significantly reduce the number and intensity of future outbreaks. While there's no guarantee it will work at all, isotretinoins anti-acne effects are usually achieved after four to five months of treatment. The drug isn't a step you should take lightly, though some of the side effects are scary, such as birth defects if a woman taking it becomes pregnant (or is already pregnant).

3: Follow the light (and the heat);
 Some acne treatments require significantly more hardware than others. Various forms of low-intensity light (colored blue, red, green-yellow or a combination) seem to be effective in killing the P. acnes bacteria. This is helpful in treating acne because when pores get partially or fully clogged, bacteria on the scene is attracted to the blockage and then multiplies, causing inflammation. By using a wand like device, a doctor can painlessly apply the light treatments, which are only effective for as long as the treatments continue. There's a chance of mild skin irritation, but otherwise there are no side effects. Using a special heat wand, a doctor can treat your acne in a similar fashion as through light treatment. However, instead of eradicating bacteria, the use of heat shrinks the size of the sebaceous glands. This results in less sebum production, and, with any luck, less acne.

2: Sandblast;
 It some of us have more or less unencumbered ourselves of the acne scourge only to still display the scarring it left behind. Many people have acne scarring, and one way to get rid of it is through microdermabrasion. This isn't dermabrasion, which brushes away a comparatively thick layer of skin. Microdermabrasion is less intense than that, and way cooler. A doctor using a wand like device bombards your face with tiny particles of aluminum oxide. It sounds painful, but it doesn't hurt. Simultaneous to the bombardment, the device vacuums up the particles from your skin, so you won't leave the clinic looking like you just fell asleep face-down on the beach. This only affects the outermost layers of skin, leaving your skin looking and feeling smoother. Microdermabrasion isn't a one-time treatment, but usually requires one treatment a week over the course of several months to achieve optimal results. You may experience a little short-term redness, but should enjoy less redness overall in the long run.

1: Explore lasers;
If you're looking to exact revenge against your uncooperative sebaceous glands, you may choose to take the battle to the next level: lasers. Lasers utilizing pulsating lights can be focused on problematic parts of the skin, producing heat beneath the skin's surface. This heat causes thermal damage to the sebaceous glands but doesn't damage the surface of your skin. Laser treatment reduces acne by half after just two sessions. Be warned that it's not all fun and games, though -- even with a topical painkiller, the treatment may still cause discomfort or pain. You might also experience swelling and redness for a day or two.

JUST PAUSE A MINUTE AND THINK ON THESE WORDS...

Today before you say an unkind word,

Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food,

Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife,

Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion.

Today before you complain about life,

Think of someone who died too young.

Before you complain about your children,

Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep,

Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive,

Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job,

Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.

Thank the LORD for all HE has done for you this week,

Wishing you a fun filled weekend.
