<h1><strong>Hvad er kolesterol?</strong></h1>
<p><strong>Kolesterol</strong> er et medlem af den gruppe af stoffer kaldet steroider, og det er en alsidig molekyle med en række vigtige roller i kroppen. Det er en vigtig bestanddel af alle cellemembraner. Isoleringsmaterialet til nervefibre, myelin, er rig på kolesterol, derfor er det af afgørende betydning for funktionen af nervesystemet. Kolesterol er også nødvendigt for dannelsen af hormoner som oestro-gensen og kortisol og for andre vigtige molekyler såsom vitamin D. Det meste af kroppens kolesterol er syntetiseret i leveren, men små mængder er fremstillet af vores kost. Det er transporteret rundt i kroppen med blodet. Nogle kolesterol udskilles af leveren som en del af galde &#8211; den galdesalte. Galdesalte er rengøringsmidler og støtte fordøjelsen af fedt i tarmen. En mangel af galdesalte i tarmen forhindrer fuldstændig absorption af fedtstoffer.</p>
<p>Kolesterol er den mest almindelige type af steroider i kroppen og et meget vigtigt molekyle. Kolesterol er et fedtstof (a lipid), som er en vigtig del af den ydre foring (membran) af celler i kroppen af dyr. Kolesterol findes også i blodcirkulationen af mennesker. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Kolesterol</span> er transporteres i blodbanen som lipoproteiner. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) kolesterol er &#8220;dårlige&#8221; kolesterol, omvendt, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) kolesterol er &#8220;gode&#8221; kolesterol. Den kolesterol i en persons blod kommer fra to væsentlige kilder, indtagelse og lever produktion. Dietary kolesterol primært stammer fra kød, fjerkræ, fisk og mejeriprodukter. Indmad, såsom lever, er særligt højt kolesterol-indhold, mens vegetabilske produkter indeholder ingen kolesterol. Efter et måltid, er kolesterol absorberes af tarmene i blodcirkulationen og er derefter pakket inde i et protein pels. Denne kolesterol-protein coat kompleks kaldes en chylomicron. Leveren er i stand til at fjerne kolesterol fra blodcirkulationen samt produktions-kolesterol og hemmelig kolesterol i blodcirkulationen. Efter et måltid, fjerner leveren chylomikronerne fra blodcirkulationen. I mellem måltiderne, producerer leveren og udskiller kolesterol tilbage i blodcirkulationen.</p>

<h3>Hvad er LDL og HDL-kolesterol [hyperlipædemi]?</h3>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>LDL-kolesterol</strong></span> kaldes &#8220;dårlige&#8221; kolesterol, da forhøjede niveauer af LDL-kolesterol er forbundet med en øget risiko for koronar hjertesygdom. LDL-kolesterol lipoprotein indskud på arterie vægge, forårsager dannelsen af en hård, tyk stof kaldet kolesterol plak. Over tid, årsager kolesterol plaque fortykkelse af arterien vægge og forsnævring af arterier, en proces kaldet</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>HDL-kolesterol</strong></span> kaldes det &#8220;gode kolesterol&#8221;, fordi HDL-kolesterol partikler forebygge åreforkalkning ved at uddrage kolesterol fra arterien væggene og bortskaffelse af dem gennem leveren. Således høje niveauer af LDL-kolesterol og lavt HDL-kolesterol (høj LDL / HDL ratio) er risikofaktorer for aterosklerose, mens et lavt niveau af LDL-kolesterol og højt niveau af HDL-kolesterol (lavt LDL / HDL ratio) er ønskelige.</p>
<p>&#8220;God&#8221; HDL-kolesterol beskytter arterierne fra atherosclerose processen. HDL-kolesterol uddrag kolesterol partikler fra arterien vægge og transporterer dem til leveren, der skal bortskaffes gennem galden. Det er også griber ind i den ophobning af LDL-kolesterol partikler i arterien vægge. Risikoen for åreforkalkning og hjerteanfald hos både mænd og bly er knyttet til HDL-kolesterol niveauer. Lave niveauer af HDL-kolesterol er forbundet med en højere risiko, hvorimod højt HDL-kolesterol niveauer er forbundet med en lavere risiko. For personer med lavt HDL-kolesterol niveauer, et højt samlet eller LDL-kolesterol i blodet øger yderligere forekomst af åreforkalkning og hjerteanfald. Derfor er kombinationen af høje niveauer af total og LDL kolesterol med lavt indhold af HDL-kolesterol er uønsket henviser til, at kombinationen af lave niveauer af total og LDL kolesterol og høje niveauer af HDL-kolesterol er gunstige.</p>
<p>Meget lave og meget høje HDL-kolesterol-niveau kan køre i familier. Familier med lavt HDL-kolesterol niveauer har en højere forekomst af hjerteanfald, end den almindelige befolkning, mens familier med høj HDL-kolesterolniveauer tendens til at leve længere med en lavere frekvens af hjerteanfald. Ligesom LDL-kolesterol, påvirke livsstilsfaktorer og andre betingelser, HDL-kolesterol niveauer. HDL-kolesterol er lavere hos personer, der ryger cigaretter, spise en masse slik, er overvægtige og inaktive, og hos patienter med type II diabetes mellitus. HDL-kolesterol er højere hos personer, som er magert, motion regelmæssigt, og ikke ryger cigaretter. Østrogen øger en persons HDL-kolesterol, hvilket forklarer, hvorfor kvinder generelt har et højere HDL-niveauer end mænd gør.</p>
<p><a name="kolesterolniveauer"></a></p>
<h3>Kolesterolniveauer</h3>
<p>Koncentrationen af kolesterol i blodet plasma i et nyfødt spædbarn normalt er mindre end 2,5 mmol DM-3. Denne gradvist øges til maksimalt niveau i barndommen på omkring 4,0 mmol DM-3. I vestlige samfund kolesteroltal stige gradvis i løbet af voksenlivet til et gennemsnit på 6,5 mmol DM-3. I nogle personer kan det stige til så meget som 8,5 mmol DM-3. Denne stigning, ikke forekommer i mindre velstående samfund, hvor forekomsten af CHD viser sig at være meget lavere, som stærkt støtter en årsagssammenhæng. Forskning viser, at risikoen for CHD stiger med plasma kolesterolniveau, og at denne stigning er gradueret og kontinuerlig. Selv om kolesteroltal koncentration er til en vis grad genetisk bestemt, højt plasma kolesterolniveau er ofte et resultat af dårlig kost &#8211; en rig på fedt og lavt indhold af fibre.</p>
<p>Mættet fedt er særligt indflydelsesrige. Disse omfatter smør og svinefedt, at mange chip butikker bruger til at stege kartofler. Forhøjet kolesterol niveauer er resultatet af en række forskellige gener interaktion med kostfaktorer. Medicinske forskere har også vist, at overvægt øger en persons risiko for at have forhøjede plasmakoncentrationer af kolesterol. Der er mennesker, som er særligt modtagelige over for forhøjet kolesterol niveauer &#8211; dem med genetiske sygdomme &#8211; som vi har set ovenfor. Genetiske faktorer, er dog forholdsvis sjælden årsag til forhøjet kolesterol i befolkningen som helhed &#8211; omkring 50% af alle voksne i Storbritannien har højere end &#8216;ideelle&#8217; kolesterolniveau, men kun én ud af 500 har FH. Dette gør det naturligvis særligt vigtigt, at, som individer, vi tager så meget pleje som muligt for at opretholde en sund kost (hårdt, som det er at svigte de chips!) Og for at mindske vores følsomhed ved at undgå fare faktorer såsom rygning. Befolkning undersøgelser og kliniske forsøg har vist, at sænke kolesterolindholdet i blodet reducerer forekomsten af fatal og ikke-dødelig koronar hjertesygdom. For dem, der har forhøjet plasma-kolesterol, er lægemidler forberedelserne til rådighed for at medvirke til at sænke niveauet.</p>
<p><a name="ldlkolesterolniveau"></a></p>
<h3>Niveau af LDL-kolesterol i blodet</h3>
<p>Kost med et højt indhold af mættet fedt og kolesterol øge indholdet af LDL-kolesterol i blodet. Fedtstoffer er klassificeret som mættede og umættede (i henhold til deres kemiske struktur). Mættet fedt stammer primært fra kød og mejeriprodukter og kan øge kolesterolindholdet i blodet. Nogle vegetabilske olier fra kokos, palme, og kakao er også højt indhold af mættet fedt.</p>
<p>Den lever ikke kun producerer og udskiller LDL-kolesterol i blodet, da det fjerner også LDL-kolesterol i blodet. Et stort antal af aktive LDL-receptorer på leveren overflader er forbundet med den hurtige fjernelse af LDL-kolesterol fra blodet og lavt indhold af LDL-kolesterol niveauer. En mangel af LDL-receptorer er forbundet med højt LDL-kolesterol blodet. Både arv og kost har stor indflydelse på en persons LDL, HDL og total kolesterol niveauer. For eksempel, familiær hyperkolesterolæmi (FH) er en fælles arvelig sygdom, hvis ofrene har en formindsket antal eller ikke-eksisterende LDL-receptorer på overfladen af leverceller. Mennesker med denne lidelse også tendens til at udvikle åreforkalkning og hjerteanfald i den tidlige voksenalder.</p>
<p><strong>Sænke LDL-kolesterol-niveau</strong> er i øjeblikket det primære fokus på at forebygge åreforkalkning og hjerteanfald. De fleste læger mener nu, at fordelene ved at sænke LDL-kolesterol kan nævnes: at reducere eller standse dannelsen af nye kolesterol plaques på arterien vægge; reducere eksisterende kolesterol plaques på arterien vægge, udvide forsnævrede arterier, Forebyggelse af sprængning af kolesterol plaques, der er initiativtager til blod koageldannelse; Risikoen for hjerteanfald, og Risikoen for slagtilfælde. De samme foranstaltninger, der forsinker åreforkalkning i koronararterier. Nå, hvordan kan LDL-kolesterol niveauet sænkes?</p>
<p>Terapeutiske ændringer i livsstil til at sænke kolesterol &#8211; sænke LDL-kolesterol involverer at miste overvægt, der udøver regelmæssigt, og efter en kost, der er lavt indhold af mættet fedt og kolesterol.</p>
<p>Medicin til at sænke kolesterol &#8211; Medicin er foreskrevet, når ændringer i livsstil kan ikke reducere LDL-kolesterol til det ønskede niveau. Den mest effektive og almindeligt brugt medicin til at sænke LDL-kolesterol kaldes statiner. De fleste af de store kontrollerede forsøg, der viste, hjerteanfald og slagtilfælde forebyggelse fordele ved at sænke LDL-kolesterol, der anvendes en af statiner. Andre lægemidler, der anvendes til sænkning af LDL-kolesterol og i forandring kolesterol-profiler omfatter nikotinsyre (niacin), fibrater såsom gemfibrozil (Lopid), harpiks som colestyramin (Questran), og ezetimibe, Zetia.</p>

<h3>Kolesterolsænkende medicin</h3>
<p><strong>Kolesterolsænkende medicin</strong> er dyre. Uddanne patienterne om, hvordan du holder deres kolesteroltal ned, især ved at ændre deres kostvaner, er meget billigere og bedre end medicinsk behandling. Dog kan det være meget svært at sætte udbredt livsstil ændring i praksis. For det første er nok penge og medicinsk personale, der er nødvendig for at give sundhedsundervisning. For det andet skal rådgive nå alle de mennesker, der har brug for det. For det tredje, og måske sværeste af alle, skal patienten have motivationen til at holde sig til en sund livsstil. Vi ved alle, at dette er ikke altid let. Hvis ændringer i livsstil ikke fungerer, eller hvis en person er i høj risiko (på grund af en arvelig sygdom), så lægemidler. Den mest effektive kolesterolsænkende midler er statiner, som oprindeligt isoleret fra svampe. Disse stoffer virker ved at hæmme et enzym, der har en central rolle i kolesterol syntese i leveren. Som niveauer af kolesterol i leveren celler falder, cellerne udvide deres brug af kolesterol fra blodbanen via receptor-proteiner på celleoverfladen (proteiner kaldet LDL-receptorer). Dette er ikke blot reducerer mængden af cirkulerende kolesterol, men betyder også, at de lever celler stimuleres til at producere mere LDL-receptorer. Dette mops op mere LDL-kolesterol og så øger lægemidlets virkning.</p>
<p><a name="normalekolesterolblodet"></a></p>
<h3><strong>Normale kolesterol blodet</strong></h3>
<p>I virkeligheden er der ikke nogen konkret normalt blod-plan for <span style="text-decoration:underline;">LDL-kolesterol</span>. I de fleste andre blodprøver inden for medicin, kan normalområdet fastsættes ved at tage målinger fra stort antal raske forsøgspersoner. For eksempel kan den normale fastende blodsukker fastsættes ved at udføre blodprøver hos raske personer uden diabetes mellitus. Hvis en patient er fastende blodsukker falder ind under dette normalområdet, han / hun sandsynligvis ikke har diabetes mellitus, der henviser til, hvis patienten er fastende blodsukker test højere end det normale område, han / hun sandsynligvis har diabetes mellitus og yderligere tests kan udføres at bekræfte diagnosen. Medicin, såsom insulin eller orale diabetes medicin kan ordineres til at sænke et unormalt højt blodsukker. Desværre er det normale spektrum af LDL-kolesterol hos raske voksne (voksne uden kendt koronar hjertesygdom) i USA kan være for høj. Den atherosclerose processen kan være stille og roligt videre i mange sunde voksne med gennemsnitlige LDL-kolesterol blodet, bringe dem i fare for at udvikle hjerte-kar-sygdomme i fremtiden.</p>
<p><a name="hdlkolesterolbehandling"></a></p>
<h3><strong>Hvad er lavt HDL-kolesterol bedste behandling?</strong></h3>
<p>I kliniske forsøg med at sænke LDL-kolesterol, også videnskabsfolk undersøgt virkningen af <span style="text-decoration:underline;">HDL-kolesterol</span> på åreforkalkning og hjerteanfald satser. De fandt, at selv små stigninger i HDL-kolesterol kunne reducere hyppigheden af hjerteanfald. For hver 1 mg / dl stigning i HDL-kolesterol, er der en 2 til 4% reduktion i risikoen for hjerte-kar-sygdom. Selv om der er nogen formelle NCEP (se diskussionen ovenfor) mål behandling niveauer af HDL-kolesterol, HDL en grad af &#60; 40 mg / dl anses for uønsket, og der bør træffes foranstaltninger til at øge den.</p>
<p><a name="hdlkolesterolniveauer"></a></p>
<h3><strong>Øget HDL-kolesterolniveauer</strong></h3>
<p>Regelmæssig aerob motion, tab af overvægt (fedt), og ophør af at ryge cigaretter vil øge <span style="text-decoration:underline;">HDL-kolesterol</span> niveauer. Regelmæssigt forbrug af alkohol (såsom en drink om dagen), vil også øge HDL-kolesterol. På grund af andre negative sundhedsmæssige konsekvenser af overdrevent alkoholforbrug, er alkohol ikke anbefales som standardbehandling for lavt HDL-kolesterol. Faktisk allerførste skridt i stigende HDL-kolesterol niveauer (og faldende LDL / HDL ratio) er terapeutisk livsstils ændringer. Når disse ændringer er utilstrækkelige, medicin anvendes. Ved ordination af medicin eller medicin kombinationer, har lægerne til at tage hensyn til medicin bivirkninger, samt tilstedeværelse eller fravær af andre abnormiteter i kolesterol-profiler. Medikamenter, der er effektive i øgning af HDL-kolesterol omfatte nikotinsyre (niacin), gemfibrozil (Lopid), østrogen, og i langt mindre grad, statin lægemidler (beskrevet nedenfor). En nyere medicin, fenofibrat (tricor) har vist sig meget lovende i selektivt at øge HDL-niveau og reducere serum triglycerider</p>
<h3>Fødekilder</h3>
<p>I fødevarer, er kolesterol findes i æg, mælkeprodukter, kød og fjerkræ. Æggeblommer og indmad (lever, nyre, brissel, og hjerne) er højt kolesterol. Fisk generelt indeholder mindre kolesterol end andet kød, men nogle skaldyr er højt kolesterol. Fødevarer af vegetabilsk oprindelse (grøntsager, frugt, korn, korn, nødder og frø) indeholder ingen kolesterol. Fedtindholdet er ikke en god målestok for kolesterol indhold. For eksempel er lever og andet indmad lavt fedtindhold, men meget højt kolesterol.</p>
<h3>Kost og CHD</h3>
<p>Lande med de laveste priser i CHD er dem, hvor kosten har en høj andel af kulhydrat og mindre fedt. Kalorierne i kosten kommer fra kulhydrater snarere end fra fedt, mens der i lande med høje CHD det modsatte er tilfældet. Også i lande, hvor energiindtag fra fedt er forholdsvis høj, men det anvendte fedt i form af flerumættede fedtstoffer eller enkeltumættede fedtstoffer, såsom olivenolie, der er en lavere sats for hjertesygdom. Lande, hvor regeringens initiativer for at ændre befolkningens kost blevet gennemført med succes, fx i Skandinavien, vist er dramatisk reduktion i forekomsten af CHD.</p>
<h3>Nye kosten behandlingsformer</h3>
<p>Steroler og stativer, stoffer, der forekommer naturligt i planter, sænke kolesterol i blodet ved at hæmme optagelsen af kolesterol i tarmen. Forskning har vist, at brugen af margariner indeholder sitostanol-ester kan reducere kolesteroltal med 10-15%, når det bruges som del af en afbalanceret kost. Steroler og stanoler forekomme i næsten alle grøntsager, især korn såsom majs, hvede og rug. I princippet, derfor kan vi øge vores indtag simpelthen ved at medtage nok af disse fødevarer i vores kost. Desværre, steroler og stanoler er indeholdt i disse anlæg ved meget lave koncentrationer &#8211; for lav for os at påvirke vores kolesteroltal. Af denne grund har forskerne arbejdet på at udvikle et produkt &#8211; en ester af plantestanol &#8211; der kan indarbejdes i en række forskellige fødevarer. Til dato har det været inkluderet i vegetabilsk fedt spredning og flødeost-stil spredes. The ester ændrer ikke madens smag, men det menes, at mængden af kolesterol absorberes fra en fødevare, der indeholder det kun omkring 20%. En sammenligning med de 50%, at vores krop absorberer fra en kost, hvor der ikke er nogen plantestanolester. Den stanoler har lidt i vejen for bivirkninger og er derfor velegnet til brug ved et stort antal mennesker. Fordi de kan indarbejdes i dagligdags fødevarer, de kan derefter bruges uden at ændre folks normale spisevaner. Fødevarer, der indeholder plantestanol estere er for nylig kommet på hylderne i supermarkedet i Storbritannien. Disse omfatter spredning Benecol.</p>
<h3>Aterosklerose</h3>
<p>Hjertet pumper blodet rundt i kroppen, der leverer ilt til alle organer, herunder hjertet selv. De fartøjer, der transporterer blod til hjertemusklen, kaldes koronararterier. Disse arterierne kan undertiden bliver delvist spærret af indlån med indhold af fedt molekyler kaldet lipider. Blodplasma indeholder fire typer af fedtstoffer: fedtsyrer, triglycerider, fosfolipider og kolesterol. Lipider er uopløselige i vand, og de fleste biologiske væsker, så der skal transporteres i blodet, de skal binde sig til protein, der opløselige molekyler, der kaldes lipoproteiner. Åreforkalkning, eller »åreforkalkning&#8221;, er sygdommen proces, der fører til iskæmisk hjertesygdom (CHD). Det menes at begynde som følge af skade på det indre af blodkar væg, efterfulgt af en Inflam ¬ matory svar. Den skade, der starter denne proces kan være mekanisk, kemisk, giftigt, viral eller immunologiske (fx forhøjet blodtryk, rygning, miljøforurening). Arvæv formularer på stedet af den skade, og store skummende celler, der indeholder kolesterol form fibrøse plaques. Til sidst dette fører til en forsnævring af blodkar. Disse læsioner (ar) udvikles over flere år, i hvilket tidsrum den enkelte kan være ganske uvidende om, at det sker, så han eller hun måske ikke har nogen symptomer. Denne proces kan i sidste ende føre til angina (brystsmerter). Det nedsatte blodomløb til hjertemusklen, især under træning, betyder, at der ikke er tilstrækkelig ilt til musklen, og det er tvunget til at aande anaerobt, der frembringer mælkesyre. Det er den ophobning af mælkesyre, som forårsager den intense smerte karakteristiske for angina. Hvis de fedtholdige plaques brud og et koagel former, kan det blokere koronararterie fuldstændig, hvilket medfører en del af hjertemusklen til at blive alvorligt skadet af mangel på ilt. Dette er hvad vi kalder et hjerteanfald eller myokardieinfarkt. Åreforkalkning kan forekomme andre steder i kroppen. Hvis det påvirker arterier forsyner hjernen, kan et slagtilfælde resultat, mens forsnævring af arterier i benene kan føre til vævsdød og koldbrand.</p>
<h3>Koronar hjertesygdom</h3>
<p>CHD er en væsentlig årsag til sygdom og død i vestlige samfund, og er den største enkeltstående årsag til for tidlig død i UK, der er ansvarlig for 180 000 dødsfald årligt. Denne skræmmende statistik forekommer endnu mere forfærdeligt, når vi indser, at det svarer til en jumbojet belastning af mennesker dør hver eneste dag! De tre vigtigste risikofaktorer for udvikling af CHD er: hyperlipidæmi, højt blodtryk og rygning. Hyperlipidæmi har en afgørende rolle. Ikke alene udgør en risikofaktor i sin egen ret, men det forøger virkningen af andre risikofaktorer flere gange. Flere forskellige lipoproteiner er ansvarlige for transporten af kolesterol gennem vores krop. To især er vigtige i CHD &#8211; low-density lipoprotein (LDLs) og high-density lipoprotein (HDLs). Begge bære kolesterol mellem leveren (hvor det er produceret), og de steder i kroppen, hvor det bruges. Overskydende LDL-kolesterol kan infiltrere væggene i blodkarrene. Dette kan føre til farlige ophobning, der øger risikoen for CHD. Høje niveauer af LDL-kolesterol er direkte knyttet til udviklingen af åreforkalkning og CHD &#8211; en kendsgerning, der fører os til at kalde kolesterol transporteres af LDLs &#8220;dårlige&#8221; kolesterol. HDLs fjerne overskydende kolesterol fra perifere væv, returnere den til leveren, der skal brydes ned og derefter udskilles. De kan betragtes som arteriel »hoovers &#8216;. Høje niveauer af HDL-kolesterol har en beskyttende virkning, og så kolesterol transporteres af HDLs kaldes &#8220;gode&#8221; kolesterol.</p>
<h3>Familiær hyperkolesterolæmi</h3>
<p>Familiær hyperkolesterolæmi (FH) er en arvelig tilstand, forårsaget af en dominerende gen. Personer, som er heterozygote (kun at have en kopi af det dominerende gen) har kolesterolniveau i omkring 8 mmol DM-3, hvorimod homozygote for det dominerende gen (som har to kopier) kan have kolesterolniveau så højt som 40 mmol DM-3. Den ideelle niveau er mindre end 5 mmol DM-3. I FH, er højt til stede fra fødslen, og de fortsætter med at være høj i hele personens liv. FH (heterozygot) er en af de mest almindelige genetiske sygdomme i vores samfund, der påvirker omkring en person i hver 500 af befolkningen (omkring 100 000 mennesker i Storbritannien alene). Ubehandlet, op til 85% af mændene heterozygote for FH har et hjerteanfald og 50% af disse dør, før de når en alder af 60 år. Kvinder heterozygote for FH udvikle hjertekarsygdomme 10-15 år senere end mænd. Desværre folk homozygote for FH kan udvikle CHD og måske endda dø som unge som 20-40 år gammel.</p>
<h3>Måling af kolesterol</h3>
<p>Hurtige metoder til kolesterol analyse foreligger nu og er blevet markedsført aggressivt. For eksempel har der været en nylig &#8216;kender dit nummer&#8217; kampagne i USA. En dråbe blod fra en finger-prik er spottet på en &#8216;tør&#8217; reagens strimler og kolesterol målt i en bærbar maskine. Sådanne prøver udføres ved høj-gade apoteker, helsekostforretninger og lejlighedsvis af roving kolesterol-test varevogne parkeret uden for supermarkeder (uden tvivl med tilbud om fedtfattige produkter i butikken!). Disse metoder er primært for brede befolkning screening og er ikke så pålidelige som dem fra stift kvalitets-kontrollerede forsøg i hospitalslaboratorier. Rådgivning skal også gives til at vurdere kolesterol niveau med hensyn til den enkeltes generelle CHD risiko og for at undgå unødvendig angst. For korrekt risikovurdering, (en fuld lipidprofilen dvs total kolesterol, HDL, LDL og triglycerid-måling) skal udføres, mens emnet er fastende. Den fulde profil er afgørende, når lægemidlerbehandling er påkrævet. Sådanne komplekse test er kun udføres på hospitaler ved hjælp af avancerede automatiske analysatorer. Alle oplysninger om patienten skal registreres som de opnåede resultater kan også være påvirket af en række faktorer, herunder fastende, arbejdsstillinger, akut sygdom, graviditet og overgangsalder. FH kan forårsage ydre tegn &#8211; &#8216;klumper og bump&#8217;. Disse skyldes kolesterol deponeres dybt i knæ, på knoer eller i sener. Kolesterol kan danne aflejringer omkring øjnene eller øjenlåg, med en gul udseende. Et andet tegn, der ofte ses i FH patienter er en hvid ring omkring ydersiden af iris, den farvede del af øjet. Der er andre arvelige forhold, der prædisponerer til unormale lipidniveauer; personer med familiær kombineret hyperlipidæmi har høje niveauer af kolesterol og høje niveauer af triglycerider.</p>
<h3>Retningslinjer for et sundt liv og generelle anbefalinger</h3>
<p>Mere end halvdelen af den voksne befolkning har kolesterolindholdet i blodet højere end ønskeligt rækkevidde. Højt kolesterolniveau ofte begynder i barndommen. Nogle børn kan have en højere risiko på grund af en arvelig forhøjet kolesterol. Generelt ønsker du din total kolesterol til at være mindre end 200 milligram per deciliter (mg / dl), fordi dette niveau indebærer den mindste risiko for hjertesygdomme. Når niveauet er over 200 mg / dl, risikoen for hjertesygdomme stiger. Du skal også kende dine niveauer af high density lipoprotein (HDL, også kendt som &#8220;gode kolesterol&#8221;) og low density lipoprotein (LDL, eller &#8220;dårlige kolesterol&#8221;). Tal med din læge udbyder om, hvad dit kolesteroltal betyder. At sænke højt kolesteroltal:</p>
<ul>
<li> begrænse de samlede fedtindtag til 25 &#8211; 35% af den samlede daglige kalorier. Mindre end 7% af den daglige kalorier bør være fra mættet fedt, ikke mere end 10% bør være fra flerumættet fedt, og ikke mere end 20% fra enkeltumættet fedt.</li>
<li>Spis mindre end 200 mg kosten kolesterol pr dag.</li>
<li>Få mere fiber i din kost.</li>
<li>tabe sig.<br />
• øge den fysiske aktivitet.</li>
</ul>
<p>For et godt helbred, for især at mindske risikoen for CHD, vi skal bevare vores kolesterolindholdet i blodet helst under 5.0mmoldrrr?. For at gøre dette har vi brug for: at holde mættede fedt, som f.eks svinefedt og smør, til et lavt niveau i kosten * begrænse vores indtag af fedt kød, såsom svinekød og lammekød, til et rimeligt niveau, de skal være klar over, at fedt kan være &#8220;skjulte&#8221; (kiks, kage og chokolade, for eksempel, er rige kilder til mættet fedt), sørg for, at vores kost er rig på fibre (fødevarer, såsom frugt, grøntsager og korn er alle gode kilder til fibre); motionerer regelmæssigt , ikke nødvendigvis virksomhed anstrengende eller ekstremt energiske sport (selv gå hver dag hjælper); jeg ikke ryger &#8211; rygning er en lang række skadelige bivirkninger, undgå at drikke for meget alkohol, forsøge at bevare vægten inden for det anbefalede interval for alder, køn og bygge. Endelig, og måske det sværeste retningslinje til at følge (som vi forsøger at nægte, at chokolade, handel tallerkenen med franske kartofler til en unbuttered bagekartoffel og gå op seks trapper, fordi det er mere sundt end at kalde elevatoren), forsøge at være så afslappede og stress-fri som muligt! For meget stress kan have en negativ effekt på CHD risiko.</p>
<h3>Fedtfattig kost</h3>
<ul>
<li> Breakfast &#8211; 1 kop ristet havre ring af korn, 1 kop skummetmælk, 1 skive hel-hvedebrød, 1 banan;</li>
<li>Snack &#8211; 1 kanel rosin bagel, 1 / 2 ounce lys flødeost;</li>
<li>Frokost &#8211; kalkun sandwich (3 ounces kalkun), rugbrød, salat, 1 appelsin, 3 fig newton, 1 kop skummetmælk;</li>
<li>Snack &#8211; ikke fedt yoghurt med frugt;</li>
<li>Middag &#8211; 3 ounces kogt kyllingebryst, 1 medium bagt kartoffel, 1 spsk nonfat yoghurt, 1 / 2 kop broccoli, 1 middag roll, 1 kop skummetmælk;</li>
</ul>
<p>Totaler: 2.000 kalorier, 38g fedt, 9.5g mættet fedt, 91mg kolesterol. Kosten er 17% fedt, 4% mættet fedt.<br />
Contribute a better translation</p>
<p><strong>Sammenligning</strong></p>
<p>For det samme antal kalorier, en fedtfattig kost indeholder 190 mg kolesterol, sammenlignet med 510 mg kolesterol for en gennemsnitlig amerikansk kost. Da fedt er højt indhold af kalorier, de fedtfattige kost faktisk har mere mad end den typiske amerikanske kost.</p>
<p><strong>Børn</strong></p>
<p>Den fedtfattig kost eksempel er for lav i fedt til små børn for at fremme god vækst. Desuden kan det være vanskeligt for dem at indtage en så stor mængde af mad. Børn bør have en kost, der er tættere på 30% af kalorierne fra fedt. Lavere fedtindhold kost kan være hensigtsmæssigt i nogle børn. Spørg din læge, hvad der er bedst for dit barn.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Atherosclerosis   remains the number one cause for all vascular disease of human beings. It probably  kills more  patients than all other causes put together .</p>
<p>Modern medicine has never conquered the disease. How  the vascular system ages and why some develop premature atherosclerosis remains largely speculative. While it is true , we have identified some major risk factor for development and progression of the atherosclerosis  , patients with out any of those risk factors do develop severe atherosclerosis !So researchers sought to look for some other risk factors . There lies the difficulty  and irony .</p>
<p>We always tend to the research with the affected population .When we know millions of people with the so called risk factors live comfortably , there lies an opportunity  to  analyse why they are protected against the onslaught of atherosclerosis .It is always convenient to blame it or bless it on the genetic predisposition .But we need to look beyond that .Of course  . every genetic expression has to  manifest phenotypically .</p>
<p>While the search for all those hidden secrets has to continue , we should also realize in pursuit of breakthrough we some times waste our energy in false targets  for too many decades !</p>
<p>The reality as on today is ,  there is no reliable  &#38;  undisputed drug available to arrest atherosclerosis  (Some would love to call statin so . . . )</p>
<p>While  our basic science colleagues struggle  in molecular  factories and biological models in pursuit of answer against  atherosclerosis , our elite  cardiac physicians   carry on with the cosmetic touches over this   progressive disease  in  sophisticated cath labs.</p>
<p>Let us hope  man prevails over nature . . .</p>
<p>A cartoon , Just for laughs . . .</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>…proviamo, per una volta,  a fare il contrario, proviamo ad associare un pasto (pranzo/cena) ad una bevanda, che, guarda caso, non sarà il vino, ma bensì, il tè! ☺</p>
<p><strong>APERITIVO</strong><br />
Partiamo dall’aperitivo, un bel tè nero al prosecco e campari, secondo la seguente ricetta:</p>
<p>•  15 cl. d’acqua<br />
•  2 cucchiaini di tè nero di Ceylon (<strong>RATNAPURA</strong>)<br />
•  zucchero candito (secondo gusto) o zucchero di canna<br />
•  succo di ¼ di limone<br />
•  1 bottiglia di spumante secco o se preferite champagne<br />
•  4 fettine di limone</p>
<p>Preparazione: 10 minuti oltre il tempo di raffreddamento<br />
Mettere il tè in infusione per circa 3-4 minuti e lasciarlo raffreddare,<br />
aggiungere lo zucchero ed il succo di limone;<br />
mescolare il tutto e versarlo sul fondo dei calici,<br />
aggiungere lo spumante e un accenno di campari e guarnire con una fetta di  limone o di arancia…..</p>
<p><strong>ANTIPASTO</strong><br />
Tartine di salmone o prosciutto?<br />
Accompagnamole con un <strong>LAPSANG SOUCHONG</strong>, un tè nero (secondo la classificazione occidentale) affumicato (aroma inconfondibili di soja, empireumatici di tostato e frutta secca, legno, fondo di bosco e fiori)</p>
<p><strong>PRIMO</strong><br />
ZUPPA DI VERDURA? MINESTRONE? BOSCAIOLA?<br />
Possiamo accompagnare i primi a base di verdura con un tè verde giapponese, un <strong>KUKICHA</strong> o un <strong>BANCHA</strong>. Il loro sapore “verduroso” si sposa bene bene con queste pietanze.</p>
<p><strong>SECONDO</strong><br />
Carne?<br />
Un <strong>Té NERO ALLA CANNELLA</strong>, con il suo aroma forte e penetrante è il compagno ideale per la vostra fettina (o fettona).<br />
Pesce?<br />
O il <strong>LAPSANG SOUCHONG </strong><strong></strong> di prima, ma, nel caso di piatti piu delicati, anche il <strong>PAI MU TAN, </strong> tè bianco.</p>
<p>Dopo, ovviamente, niente caffè! Ma un <strong>tè verde al gelsomino</strong>, o all’<strong>arancia</strong> potrebbe accompagnare la frutta nel migliore dei modi!</p>
<p>Ecco, quello che vi manca, ora, è solo la compagnia….<br />
Fateci sapere, a presto…</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Last week, <a href="http://2bahealthyfit.com/2009/11/09/what-the/">as you may recall</a>, I was very upset when my blood work came back and my cholesterol was up 41 points from last year. So today I went back to the doc after recording what I ate for a week to try and figure out why my cholesterol was so high.</p>
<p>Good news is that my doctor couldn&#8217;t believe how well I ate. She asked me if it was really true and laughed when I recorded the 5 french fries I had on Friday night. Hey- I was suppose to record it all, right?  She said she wasn&#8217;t worried because of how much I exercised and wasn&#8217;t going to re-do the test, instead we would see where I was next year.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t really like doctors. I mean&#8230;they never really listen and this appointment took all of 10 minutes. Not that I needed it to last that long (I am swamped at work), but I always feel like she is rushing out. She also does &#8220;smart lipo&#8221; and I think that side of her business is taking up too much time. I just wish she would have taken a bit longer to look at what I was eating.  She pointed out that I should watch my carrot intake because they contain high amounts of sugar and sent me on my way.</p>
<p>The sugar thing got me thinking&#8230;could sugar make my blood pressure go up? After a quick google search I found out that, yes, refined sugar can lower your HDL count and raise your LDL count. Hmmm&#8230;maybe all those bites of cookies and licks of frosting have something to do with this?</p>
<p>I did quit drinking coffee because I would add equal to it and then also add vanilla coffee-mate. Not just a bit&#8230;a LOT of vanilla coffee-mate!! I probably kicked this habit just before I took my blood test. Now, I don&#8217;t eat a ton of sugary stuff, but I would say I eat something sweet at least once a day. It was sooo hard to do the no sugar week and I couldn&#8217;t even do that. Maybe I just need to watch myself a bit more?</p>
<p>All of this cholesterol talk got me really wondering where I stand on the &#8220;normal&#8221; scale. Here is the scale the American Heart Association has for LDL levels: Yikes! I am borderline high.</p>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="400">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="400">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Less than 100 mg/dL</td>
<td>Optimal</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7">
<td>100 to 129 mg/dL</td>
<td>Near Optimal/ Above Optimal</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>130 to 159 mg/dL</td>
<td>Borderline High</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7">
<td>160 to 189 mg/dL</td>
<td>High</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>190 mg/dL and above</td>
<td>Very High</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>My LDL&#8217;s are at 145 I am on the borderline and it doesn&#8217;t seem as fun as when Madonna sings about it. So what about my HDL? My HDL is at 66.</p>
<p>According to the AHA, &#8220;With HDL (good) cholesterol, higher levels are better. Low HDL cholesterol (less than 40 mg/dL for men, less than 50 mg/dL for women) puts you at higher risk for heart disease. In the average man, HDL cholesterol levels range from 40 to 50 mg/dL. <strong>In the average woman, they range from 50 to 60 mg/</strong><strong>dL</strong>. An HDL cholesterol of 60 mg/dL or higher gives some protection against heart disease&#8221;.</p>
<p>I am at the average HDL levels for a woman. The doc did tell me to start adding more healthy fats like guacamole and to take a fish oil supplement to help raise the HDL&#8217;s. I am going to try and cut out processed sugars as much as possible. This means <strong>no</strong> more bites of cookies or tastes of frosting. If you take a lot of little bites, it just adds up to a big bite&#8230;or more!</p>
<p><a href="http://ahealthyfit.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/sugarcubesx-main_full.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-387" title="sugarcubesx-main_Full" src="http://ahealthyfit.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/sugarcubesx-main_full.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="249" /></a></p>
<p>So, how am I going to do this? I need a plan! If I have a sugar craving I should be eating natural sugars like a peach or apple. I will be making exceptions for special occasions and I am not going to outlaw dark chocolate. I am going to start reading labels of anything extra I add to my food, like salad dressings and ketchup, in order to cut down on them as well. This is going to be my little experiment and then I&#8217;ll see where I am next year.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;m not gonna go dyin&#8217; on anyone. A less than 200mg cholesterol level is desirable and 200-239 is borderline/high risk. I am on the low scale of the borderline (I&#8217;m at 211), so hopefully just a couple little tweaks will get me all desirable again.</p>
<p>Since my last blood work test I did try going vegan and I found that when I did so I was never full and craved more sugar and bread. I am still not eating that much meat or dairy, so maybe I need to up this just a bit as well and that will help quell the sugar cravings. Just something to think about&#8230;</p>
<p>If anyone has any tips that they use to beat the sugar cravings, let me know! I am also going to look into the sugar busters diet&#8230;has anyone ever done this?</p>
<p>Well, it&#8217;s time to get some good fat up into my tummy&#8230;avocado enchilada&#8217;s here I come!!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Well, I can&#8217;t resist sharing the news with everyone and anyone who reads this. Six months ago I was diagnosed with high total cholesterol. My harmful cholesterol, LDL (low density lipoprotein) was in the scary range. My nutritionist game me a meal plan to follow. It basically involved monitoring my saturated fat intake and eliminating (or severely limit) trans fats. </p>
<p>Background: My entire life I have prided myself in eating healthy and promoting a healthy lifestyle. Then, I tried to fit in and began eating foods I normally wouldn&#8217;t. I ate out regularly. I didn&#8217;t care what I ate. Most of the food was new to me since I had only eaten &#8220;healthy&#8221; foods previously. This included cream sauces, larger than usual portion sizes, sugary and fatty foods and all the fun stuff. That tastes great. I even drank whole fat egg nog, something I wouldn&#8217;t dream of previously. (Have you ever tasted that stuff?! Yumm..)</p>
<p>After receiving the shocking news, the you know what was scared out of me. Cardiovascular disease runs in my family. I absolutely refuse to be put on heart medications for the rest of my life and that is what I may have faced if I didn&#8217;t change my eating habits. So&#8230;I got back to my &#8220;old&#8221; way of eating. And..it has paid off&#8230;</p>
<p>Yesterday I received news that my total cholesterol level has decreased by <strong>60 points</strong>. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  How cool is that?!!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not saying this to brag. I&#8217;m just saying, it was done through diet and exercise. No medication. And&#8230;I&#8217;m as happy as a clam in mud. lol</p>
<p>Hope you found this interesting. Kindly share, if you did&#8230;.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Learning by teaching Example: Teaching foreign language (history) 1. Sharing the new contents If you]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Learning by teaching</span></strong></p>
<p>Example: Teaching foreign language (history)</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">1. Sharing the new contents </span></p>
<p>If you be done with the contents of a lesson, say the Middle Ages, and you have to deal with the next one, the Renaissance, you divide the new contents in little sections and allocate them to teams of students, two or maximal three.  So you have for instance 5 sections and 15 students.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">2. The students tasks</span></p>
<p>This students have to introduce the new vocabulary, the new grammar and of course the new history contents. So they share the tasks within the group.</p>
<p>-      One student writes a slide with the new words and thinks about a strategy to explain and teach this words and to make exercises</p>
<p>-      One student writes a slide with the new grammar contents and thinks about a strategy to explain the new grammar and make exercises</p>
<p>-      One student thinks about a strategy to present the history-contents</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">3.  When do the students  prepare their units?</span></p>
<p>In order to ease the organization, you have to let the students prepare their units simultaneous:  some colleagues asks how it is possible for the last team to prepare its section if it doesn’t know the contents (vocabulary, grammar) from the other four groups. The question is legitimate, but the experience shows that this is not a problem if the last group doesn’t know the foregoing contents, because the contents they have to present usually are more independent from the precedents as we think. They just have to inform themselves about one or two phenomena.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">4. The teachers task</span></p>
<p>The teacher has to provide the students with interesting contents and materials. In my French classes I proposed to deal with European history, literature and politics. I had to provide articles from newspapers, books and a lot of additive materials. Of course the students used internet. <a title="11.klasse" href="http://de.wikiversity.org/wiki/Benutzer:Jeanpol/11.Klasse/Histoire">Here</a> you can see sites by students (closes).</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">5. Frequent asked questions</span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> </span></p>
<p>-      How does the students know how they have to present the contents? Do you give instructions to the students by planning their lessons?</p>
<p>-      Are you giving marks during the presentations?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> </span></p>
<p>-      How are you giving marks?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> </span></p>
<p>-      We all are doing the same things like you in our lessons. What’s new about the method “Learning by teaching”?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> </span></p>
<p>-      Are all the students able to satisfyingly present the contents?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> </span></p>
<p>-      What about shy students?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> </span></p>
<p>-      What  about faults? If a student presents contents (or pronunciation) wrong, the other students will memorize the false structures?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">6. Text  analysis</span></p>
<p>Brackley and the Bed (by Samuel Selvon)</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> </span></p>
<p>-      Team 1 (2 students):  Humor</p>
<p>-      Team 2 (2 students):  Caribbean language</p>
<p>-      Team 3 (2 students):  Psychological evolution</p>
<p>Neighbors (by Tim Winton)</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> </span></p>
<p>-      Team 4 (2 students):  Psychological evolution</p>
<p>-      Team 5 (2 students):  Style</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Some years ago, my father was wrestling with my nephews and could not get up when  he was wrestled to the <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-820" title="wrestling" src="http://workingwellresources.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/images-1.jpg" alt="wrestling" width="128" height="91" />ground. The kids didn&#8217;t realize anything was wrong and had left the playroom. For what seemed like 30 minutes, he could not get up nor move his arm nor call out for help. Eventually he was able to get up and tell my brother to call an ambulance.</p>
<p>Luckily for my dad, he did not have a stroke or heart attack. He simply had a <a title="TIA" href="https://health.google.com/health/ref/Transient+ischemic+attack" target="_blank">TIA (transient ischemic attack)</a> which was a warning sign that a true stroke may happen in the future if something is not done to prevent it.</p>
<p>My father went to the hospital and found out his cartoid artery was 90% occluded (blocked). Within a month, he had a <a title="Carotid artery surgery" href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002951.htm" target="_blank">carotid endarterectomy</a> which removed the blockage and saved his life.</p>
<p><strong>Why is this important to you? </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_816" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 83px"> <img class="size-full wp-image-816 " title="arterial plaque" src="http://workingwellresources.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/b8242280ed42e152.jpg" alt="arterial plaque" width="73" height="145" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Plaque in arteries from med.umich.edu</p></div>
<p>My father had been told he had high cholesterol but didn&#8217;t know what this meant for his health. The high levels of &#8220;bad&#8221; cholesterol caused plaque to build up in the arteries in his neck and narrow the space for blood to get to his brain. Even though he did not know it, he was slowly getting less and less oxygen to his brain and heading for a stroke, which could have happened while he was driving. When my nephews wrestled on him, they were jumping on his back and neck and likely dislodged some of the plaque which caused the transient ischemic attack.</p>
<p>Now my father takes cholesterol medication and watches his diet. He continues with his regular exercise routine. At 77, he&#8217;s an avid swimmer and maintains a home and his community&#8217;s lawn and drainage system. He gets regular checkups and monitors his cholesterol levels, now that he understands why it&#8217;s important. And yes, he still wrestles with my nephews!</p>
<p><strong>Workplace Wellness Assessments</strong></p>
<p>Many workplaces offer free wellness screenings as do health centers and hospitals. Wellness screenings often consist of checking your blood pressure, your cholesterol and blood sugar levels. <em>But if your cholesterol levels are high, what does this mean for you?</em></p>
<h2><strong>How to Interpret Your Cholesterol Results</strong></h2>
<p>Your test report will show your cholesterol levels in milligrams per deciliter of blood (mg/dL). To determine how your cholesterol levels affect your risk of heart disease, your doctor will also take into account other risk factors such as age, family history, smoking and high blood pressure.</p>
<p>A complete fasting lipoprotein profile will show:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=183#total">Your total blood (or serum) cholesterol level</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=183#HDL">Your HDL (good) cholesterol level</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=183#LDL">Your LDL (bad) cholesterol level</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=183#Triglyceride">Your triglyceride level</a></li>
</ul>
<p><a id="total" name="total"><strong>Your Total Blood (or Serum) Cholesterol Level</strong></a></p>
<p><strong>Less than 200 mg/dL: Desirable<br />
</strong>If your LDL, HDL and triglyceride levels are also at desirable levels and you have no <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=235">other risk factors</a> for heart disease, total blood cholesterol below 200 mg/dL puts you at relatively low risk of coronary heart disease. Even with a low risk, however, it’s still smart to <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=1510">eat a heart-healthy diet</a>, <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3046114">get regular physical activity</a> and <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3046120">avoid tobacco smoke</a>. Have your cholesterol levels checked every five years or as your doctor recommends.</p>
<p><strong>200–239 mg/dL: Borderline-High Risk</strong><br />
If your total cholesterol falls between 200 and 239 mg/dL, your doctor will evaluate your levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol, HDL (good) cholesterol and triglycerides. It&#8217;s possible to have borderline-high total cholesterol numbers with normal levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol balanced by high HDL (good) cholesterol. <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3046111">Work with your doctor</a> to create a prevention and treatment plan that&#8217;s right for you. Make <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=523">lifestyle changes</a>, including <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=1510">eating a heart-healthy diet</a>, <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3046114">getting regular physical activity</a> and <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3046120">avoiding tobacco smoke</a>. Depending on your LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and your other risk factors, you may also need <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=520">medication</a>. Ask your doctor how often you should have your cholesterol rechecked.</p>
<p><strong>240 mg/dL and over: High Risk</strong><br />
People who have a total cholesterol level of 240 mg/dL or more typically have twice the risk of coronary heart disease as people whose cholesterol level is desirable (200 mg/dL). If your test didn’t show your LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides, your doctor should order a fasting profile. <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3046111">Work with your doctor</a> to create a prevention and treatment plan that&#8217;s right for you. Whether or not you need cholesterol-regulating <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=520">medication</a>, make <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=523">lifestyle changes</a>, including <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=1510">eating a heart-healthy diet</a>, <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3046114">getting regular physical activity</a> and <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3046120">avoiding tobacco smoke</a>.</p>
<p><a id="HDL" name="HDL"><strong>Your HDL (Good) Cholesterol Level</strong></a></p>
<p>With HDL (good) cholesterol, higher levels are better. Low HDL cholesterol (less than 40 mg/dL for men, less than 50 mg/dL for women) puts you at higher risk for heart disease. In the average man, HDL cholesterol levels range from 40 to 50 mg/dL. In the average woman, they range from 50 to 60 mg/dL. An HDL cholesterol of 60 mg/dL or higher gives some protection against heart disease.</p>
<p>Smoking, being overweight and being sedentary can all result in lower HDL cholesterol. To raise your HDL level, <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3046120">avoid tobacco smoke</a>, &#60;!&#8211;<br />
&#8211;&#62;<a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=1200014">maintain a healthy weight</a>&#60;!&#8211;  &#8211;&#62; and get at least 30–60 minutes of <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3046114">physical activity</a> more days than not.</p>
<p>People with high blood triglycerides usually also have lower HDL cholesterol and a higher risk of heart attack and stroke. Progesterone, anabolic steroids and male sex hormones (testosterone) also lower HDL cholesterol levels. Female sex hormones raise HDL cholesterol levels.</p>
<p><a id="LDL" name="LDL"><strong>Your LDL (Bad) Cholesterol Level</strong></a></p>
<p>The lower your LDL cholesterol, the lower your risk of heart attack and stroke. In fact, it&#8217;s a better gauge of risk than total blood cholesterol. In general, LDL levels fall into these categories:</p>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="400">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" bgcolor="#e8f9f4"><strong>LDL Cholesterol Levels</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Less than 100 mg/dL</td>
<td>Optimal</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7">
<td>100 to 129 mg/dL</td>
<td>Near Optimal/ Above Optimal</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>130 to 159 mg/dL</td>
<td>Borderline High</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7">
<td>160 to 189 mg/dL</td>
<td>High</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>190 mg/dL and above</td>
<td>Very High</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Your other risk factors for heart disease and stroke help determine what your LDL level should be, as well as the appropriate treatment for you. A healthy level for you may not be healthy for your friend or neighbor. Discuss your levels and your treatment options with your doctor to get the plan that works for you.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Makan makanan yang digoreng rasanya enak kan ya. Gurih, renyah, kriuk hehe&#8230; Sebenernya ada bai]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Makan makanan yang digoreng rasanya enak kan ya. Gurih, renyah, kriuk hehe&#8230; Sebenernya ada baik dan buruknya lho makan gorengan alias makanan yang digoreng-goreng. Menurut <a href="http://www.dennysantoso.com/minyak-goreng-mana-yang-terbaik.html">pakar gizi olahraga ini</a>, saat kita makan makanan yang digoreng itu sama saja kita memakan lemak yang memang dibutuhkan oleh tubuh. Lemak kan = kalori <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">= gemuk</span> = tenaga, yang pasti memang kita butuhin untuk beraktivitas sehari-hari kan. 1gram lemak = 9 kalori, kalo dikurangin brati tubuh kita juga kehilangan sumber kalori ya, kan ga mungkin dieliminasi samsek, yah seengganya coba disubsitusi ke yang paling minimal deh. Jadi kita masih dapet keuntungannya konsumsi makanan berminyak dan mengurangi juga biar terhindar dari penyakit kek jantung, stroke, dll <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':smile:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Seperti postingan butter or margarine lalu, kan lemak yang bagus itu yang kandungan monounsaturated dan polyunsaturated fat-nya yang lebih banyak. Keterangan lebih lanjut tentang lemak kek ini:</p>
<table border="1" cellpadding="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><strong>Monounsaturated Fat</strong></td>
<td>menurunkan total kolesterol dalam darah terutama LDL dan meningkatkan HDL</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Polyunsaturated Fat</strong></td>
<td>menurunkan total kolesterol dalam darah terutama LDL</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Saturated Fat</strong></td>
<td>meningkatkan total kolesterol dalam darah dan terutama meningkatkan LDL</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Trans Fat</strong></td>
<td>meningkatkan LDL dan menurunkan HDL</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Jadi golongan yang <strong>bae-bae</strong>:</p>
<p>Lemak baik : lemak tak jenuh tunggal (<em>monounsaturated fat</em>), lemak tak jenuh ganda (<em>polyunsaturated fat</em>) &#8212; Kolesterol baik : <em>high-density lipoprotein</em> (HDL)</p>
<p>Kalo golongan <strong>jahat</strong>nya:</p>
<p>Lemak jahat : lemak jenuh (<em>saturated fat</em>), lemak trans (<em>trans fat</em>) &#8212; Kolesterol jahat : <em>low-density lipoprotein</em> (LDL)</p>
<p>Naa, makanan yang digoreng pake minyak yang mengandung asam lemak jenuh, setelah mengalami proses metabolisme, bisa jadi bakal bikin profil lipid (lemak) dalam darah kita jadi tinggi. Makin tinggi asupan asam lemak jenuh, makin tinggi deh kolesterol. Kalo dah kolesterol yah sakit-sakit itu tadi deh ancemannya <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  So minyak apa siy yang bagus, ada ga siy?</p>
<p>Menurut <a href="http://mamakukokihandal.com">mamakoki</a>, minyak masak pada dasarnya ada 2 macam yaitu minyak masak (cooking oil) dan minyak bumbu (seasoning oil). Yang banyak dipakai buat masak-masak tumis-tumis kan minyak jagung, minyak kelapa, minyak zaitun, minyak wijen (eh buat masak ga ya hekekek…), minyak bunga matahari juga keknya pernah denger. Liat deh komparasi lemaknya dalam minyak-minyak tersebut:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-513" title="tabel-fatty-acids" src="http://lanaline.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tabel-fatty-acids.jpg" alt="tabel-fatty-acids" width="509" height="535" /></p>
<h3 style="margin:0;"><span style="font-weight:normal;font-size:10pt;font-family:Georgia;" lang="EN"> </span> </h3>
<h3 style="margin:0;"><span style="font-weight:normal;font-size:10pt;font-family:Georgia;" lang="EN"> </span></h3>
<p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-weight:normal;font-size:10pt;font-family:Georgia;" lang="EN">Menurut <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking_oil">Wikipedia</a>, pemanasan akan mengubah karakteristik minyak. Minyak yang tadinya menyehatkan dalam suhu ruang bisa jadi ga sehat saat dipanasin melebihi temperatur tertentu. Jadi waktu milih minyak masak, perlu diliat karakteristik toleransi minyak pada panas dan cara memasak.<span style="color:navy;"> <span style="color:#000000;">Coba lihat satu-satu ya yang sering dipake ibuk-ibuk yuk</span></span></span></p>
<h3> </h3>
<p><strong><img class="size-full wp-image-536 alignleft" title="dougo-purecanola-l" src="http://lanaline.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dougo-purecanola-l.jpg" alt="dougo-purecanola-l" width="108" height="229" /></p>
<p>Minyak Canola</p>
<p></strong></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Minyak Canola diklaim memiliki kandungan lemak jenuh sangat rendah dan lemak tak jenuh tunggal tinggi sampai 58%, dan juga mengandung asam lemak omega-3. Canola tuh dari<strong> ’Can</strong>adian <strong>o</strong>il, <strong>l</strong>ow <strong>a</strong>cid’. Dibuat dari biji bunga Canola yang banyak tumbuh di Canada.</p>
<p>Minyak Canola ini bersifat tahan panas dan tidak cepat berasap saat dipanaskan pada suhu tinggi. Karena itu saat bahan makanan digoreng (deep frying) minyak akan mematangkan secara merata. Bahkan pada saat ditiriskan, minyak yang menempel pada bahan makanan lebih cepat tiris sehingga tidak banyak tertinggal pada makanan. Hasilnya, gorengan memiliki kalori 5%-10% lebih rendah. Warna gorenganpun sangat alami, kuning keemasan dengan rasa renyah dan gurih yang prima. Karena banyak produknya masih impor rata-rata minyak jenis ini masih mahal. Merk-merk yang bisa kita jumpai di supermarket misalnya Dougo, Bernoulli, dll</p>
<p><strong> </strong> </p>
<p><strong>Corn Oil</strong></p>
<p>Seperti namanya, minyak jagung ini masuk juga ke dalam vegetable oil yang punya kandungan 99% trigliserida, 59% asam lemak tak jenuh ganda, 24% asam lemak tak jenuh tunggal, dan 13% asam lemak jenuh. Disini biasanya dipakai buat yang lagi diet. Merknya ada kek Tropicana Slim, dll. Harganya sama mahalnya dengan minyak zaitun.</p>
<p><strong> </strong> </p>
<p><strong>Olive Oil</strong></p>
<p>Nah minyak ini alias minyak zaitun paling banyak dipake ya. Selaen buat luluran, melembabkan dan menghaluskan kulit, ternyata bisa juga dipake masak sodari-sodari <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':smile:' class='wp-smiley' />  Walopun ada ketentuannya, catet yaaa…</p>
<p>Dari <a href="http://irmaone.wordpress.com/2008/09/23/minyak-zaitun-khasiatnya/">sini </a>diterangin beberapa jenis olive oil.</p>
<p><em><span style="color:#808080;">Extra Virgin Olive Oil.</span>  </em>Minyak paling murni merupakan hasil ekstrasi pertama, warnanya kehijauan. Bagus digunakan untuk campuran makanan matang, antara lain salad, topping pizza, campuran sayur rebus, atau sebagai celupan roti. Jenis ini tidak bagus untuk menggoreng atau menumis karena kadar acidity regulation alias kandungan minyaknya sangat rendah, selain itu rasa dan aromanya lebih tajam. Untuk diminum sebaiknya yang jenis ini.</p>
<p><em><span style="color:#808080;">Virgin Olive Oil.</span>  </em>Warna hijau kekuningan, minyak zaitun murni ditambahkan minyak zaitun sulingan dg tujuan untuk meningkatkan potensi antioksidanya yang hilang selama proses pengolahan minyak zaitun sulingan.</p>
<p><em><span style="color:#808080;">Pure Olive Oil.</span></em>  Warna kekuningan. Cocok digunakan untuk menumis atau menggoreng, namun bisa juga digunakan sebagai tambahan pada makanan matang.</p>
<p><em><span style="color:#808080;">Extra Light Olive Oil.</span></em><strong>  </strong>Warna lebih jernih dari Pure Olive Oil. Sempurna untuk menggoreng atau menumis, dapat juga digunakan sebagai campuran kue atau es krim.</p>
<p><em><span style="color:#808080;">Light Olive Oil.</span></em><strong>  </strong>Kadar asamnya lebih banyak dari Extra Virgin Olive Oil n Virgin Olive Oil, diatas 4%. Ada pengalaman di pabrik penyulingan minyak zaitun di Tripoli. Sementara Extra Virgin Olive Oil kadar asamnya 0,5-1% warna yg dihasilkan kehijauan, Virgin Olive Oil hijau kekuningan kadar asamnya sekitar 4%, nah yg Light Olive Oil warnanya kekuningan.</p>
<p>Tambahan inpo, hasil riset Departemen Epidemiology Harvard University menunjukan, wanita yang banyak mengkonsumsi Olive Oil risiko terkena kanker payudara menurun 50% <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':smile:' class='wp-smiley' />  Merknya di supermarket ada banyak, Bertolli, Dougo, Al apa gitu merk Arab yang pake kaleng warna hijau, Filippo Berio, Crapelli, dll. Gak disarankan loh ya pake minyak ini untuk makanan yang digoreng sampe kerendem minyak. Katanya untuk nambah berat badan anak dan omega-3 bisa masukkin 1 sdm virgin olive oil ke makanannya.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Sunflower oil </strong></p>
<p>Minyak biji bunga sunflower mengandung vitamin E esensial yang tinggi dan kandungan lemak jenuh rendah. Yang biasa digunakan sebagai minyak masak adalah jenis yang linoleat, yang memiliki kadar lemak tak jenuh ganda yang tinggi. Minyak ini memiliki citarasa enak dan rendah lemak trans.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Coconut oil </strong></p>
<p>Minyak kelapa mengandung 92% asam lemak jenuh. Wuih, ga bagus dong ya buat dikonsumsi <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  Pengolahan minyak kelapa ini banyak dilakukan dirumahan, seperti nenekku sering bikin dari kelapa yang direndang istilahnya, nanti keluar minyaknya trus disaring. Saat ini olahan minyak kelapa kayak minyak kelapa murni (V<em>irgin Coconut Oil/ VCO</em>) banyak banget ya ditemuin. Minyak kelapa murni dengan kandungan utama asam laurat ini memiliki sifat antibiotik, anti bakteri dan jamur. VCO memiliki kadar air dan kadar asam lemak bebas yang rendah, berwarna bening, berbau harum, serta mempunyai daya simpan yang cukup lama yaitu lebih dari 12 bulan. Jika dibandingkan dengan minyak kelapa biasa atau sering disebut dengan minyak goreng (minyak kelapa kopra) minyak kelapa murni mempunyai kualitas yang lebih baik. Minyak kelapa kopra akan berwarna kuning kecoklatan, berbau tidak harum dan mudah tengik sehingga daya simpannya tidak bertahan lama (kurang dari dua bulan).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>We know diabetes, smoking, hyperlidemia, hypertension are major risk factors for progressive vascular disease. They damage the vascular endothelium either directly or indirectly ,   by aggravating the atheroscelortic process .  Diabetes apart from affecting the medium sized arteries , also affect the microvasculature.  Smoking  has a direct effect on endothelial function .It depletes vascular nitric oxide. High levels of circulating lipids injures the sub endothelial structures and invades the media by entering macrophages .So , all these 4 risk factors either operate independently or interact with each other and result in progressive vascular    disease.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>While we  believe  , these risk factors do not have any bias in attacking the human vascular  tree, in the real world it is observed they have their own  behavior pattern and  have unique predilection and a deadly alliance .</em></p></blockquote>
<p>For example , in  chronic smokers TAO is the commonest manifestation , thrombo angitis is far too less common to occur in the coronary arteries.</p>
<p>Similarly  hypertension  per se  rarely results in an acute coronary syndrome while it is  the  single  important  cause for cerebro vascular  disease. Diabetes especially in women has very strong predilection for CAD , while diabetic per se is a lesser risk for stroke. Hyperlipedimia may be the one which has fairly even risk throughout the vasculature. Similarly there is  a difference in renal and   carotid arterial involvement with reference to  the conventional  risk factors .</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-5527" href="http://drsvenkatesan.wordpress.com/2009/11/05/the-imapct-factor-of-diabetes-hypertension-smoke-dyslipidemia-on-human-vasculature-arent-they-different/sht-diabetes-dyslipidemia-coroanry-risk-factor/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5527" title="SHT diabetes dyslipidemia coroanry risk factor" src="http://drsvenkatesan.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/sht-diabetes-dyslipidemia-coroanry-risk-factor.jpg" alt="SHT diabetes dyslipidemia coroanry risk factor" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Why this apparent difference ?</strong></p>
<p>We are unlikely  to get an answer to this question in the near future .  Left to the youngsters  . . . of tomorrow !</p>
<p>* Note of  clarification</p>
<p>The source for the above chart is collected from various studies and also a huge observational data from our hospital. There could be some geographical variation , a given individual may respond differently to these risk factor depending upon his genetic predisposition and susceptibility . So the above data can be applied to general population and not to a individual.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Yet another finding.At this rate we will not know which causes cancer.That which is said to cause, may, turn out to be a cure, let&#8217;s hope-so much for medicine.Any way let us read and file in memory until another study comes along.</strong><br />
Story:<br />
By Julie Steenhuysen</p>
<p>CHICAGO (Reuters Life!) &#8211; Low total cholesterol may be a sign of cancer rather than a cause, as some researchers have suggested, and men who have low cholesterol actually have a lower risk of developing high-risk prostate cancer, two teams reported on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Both studies, reported in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers &#38; Prevention, shed new light on the role of cholesterol and cancer.</p>
<p>For years, researchers had noticed that people who have lower total cholesterol &#8212; a combination of both low-density lipoprotein or LDL, the &#8220;bad&#8221; kind, and high-density lipoprotein or HDL, the &#8220;good&#8221; kind &#8212; appeared more likely to have certain types of cancers than other people.</p>
<p>That was worrisome because having low cholesterol, and particularly low levels of &#8220;bad&#8221; LDL cholesterol, has been shown to protect against heart attacks and strokes.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our study affirms that lower total cholesterol may be caused by undiagnosed cancer,&#8221; Dr. Demetrius Albanes, a senior investigator at the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, said in a statement.<br />

<p><strong>Dr. Julien Lévesque, chiropraticien &#8211;</strong> Au cours des années, on s’aperçoit qu’il est de plus en plus fréquent d’oublier certains détails. Très souvent, cela débute par un nom, un âge, une date, un événement ou encore une localisation dans nos souvenirs. Parfois cela devient plus sérieux; on oublie nos clefs, de fermer le rond de la cuisinière, de fermer le robinet et cela peut dégénérer par la suite.  N’est-ce pas fâchant quand cela nous arrive et d’être conscient que l’on perd peu à peu contrôle d’une partie de soi?</p>
<p>Dernièrement, des chercheurs britanniques ont découvert un des coupables reliés à ces processus désagréables; il s’agit de l’acide aminé homocystéine. Cette molécule pro-inflammatoire dont le rôle dans l&#8217;athérosclérose a été suspecté en 1969 par McCully est maintenant prouvé. Lorsqu’une augmentation du taux d’homocystéine se produit dans le sang, des dommages se produisent aux parois internes des artères, par un processus de toxicité. Selon les dernières études, cette molécule oxyde le mauvais  cholestérol (LDL) et interfère dans le processus de coagulation sanguine. Ainsi, il se produit un durcissement des parois artérielles et une accumulation de cholestérol sur ces-dernières. Il s’agit ici du processus d’athérosclérose.­­ La présence d’homocytéine dans le sang est souvent  incriminée à des problèmes cardio-vasculaires et à certaines affections neuropsychiatriques. Elle serait ainsi un facteur de risque pour la maladie d&#8217;Alzheimer, d’athérosclérose, des troubles dépressifs , de schizophrénie et d’une dégénérescence maculaire liée à l’âge.</p>
<p><strong>Quel est l’origine de cette molécule?</strong></p>
<p>L’homocystéine est un acide aminé naturellement produit par l’organisme, ainsi que de la dégradation de la méthionine et de la cystathionine, deux autres acides aminés. Pour que cette substance toxique devient sans danger pour le corps, ce dernier a besoin d’une quantité suffisante d’acide folique (vitamine B9), de vitamine B6, de vitamine B12, ainsi que du zinc et du magnésium. Les résultats de cette étude ont démontrés que les gens éprouvant des pertes de mémoire avaient une forte concentration d’homocystéine et un faible niveau d’acide folique. De plus, les apports réguliers de vitamine de complexe B réduisent les concentrations d’homocystéine dans le sang.</p>
<p><strong>Comment avoir un bon apport de ces vitamines et minéraux? </strong></p>
<p>La façon la plus efficace est bien sûre de consommer beaucoup de fruits et de légumes. Cependant, il existe certains aliments qui contiennent une concentration plus élevée en <span style="text-decoration:underline;">acide folique</span>. Ces aliments sont de couleur vert ou orange; épinards, cresson, asperges, avocats, brocolis, laitue romaine, petits poix, carottes ou encore; les noix et légumineuses (lentilles, haricots blancs, fèves), la levure, le blanc d’œuf, les herbes aromatiques (menthe, romarin, origan), le germe de blé et le son (céréales, farine). Pour la <span style="text-decoration:underline;">vitamine B6</span>, les aliments sont; les volailles, le foie (bœuf, agneau, veau), la morue, le saumon, le germe de blé alors que ceux contenant le plus de <span style="text-decoration:underline;">vitamine B12</span>; les œufs, le foie (volaille, bœuf, agneau, veau),  le hareng, le maquereau, la morue, la sardine, le saumon, le thon, le crabe et les fruits de mer (huîtres, crevettes).</p>
<p>Il existe également d’autres produits naturels qui peuvent aider; des extraits de plante Ginko Biloba pour aider la mémoire et les omégas-3 (huiles de poisson) qui sont excellents pour les tissus nerveux.</p>
<p><strong>Informations utiles</strong></p>
<p>Les chiropraticiens peuvent vous aider à suivre votre santé cardio-vasculaire et votre mémoire. Il existe divers moyens tels que la pression artérielle, le mini-mental test et les suivis sanguins afin de détecter toutes anomalies. De plus, une grande réduction du stress se manifeste au cours et suite aux ajustements vertébraux. De cette façon, un corps relaxé permet une meilleure concentration, une organisation adéquate de son temps et une optimisation des fonctions des systèmes nerveux et immunitaire. Un esprit sain dans un corps sain!<img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-52" title="B0004164 Neurons in the brain - illustration" src="http://chiroenergie.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/neurones.jpg?w=150" alt="B0004164 Neurons in the brain - illustration" width="150" height="99" /></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-328" title="azeite1" src="http://airtonbc.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/azeite1.jpg" alt="azeite1" width="103" height="104" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As diferenças entre eles vão desde o tipo de matéria prima e fabricação, até a composição química. Para a saúde, interessa saber que esses alimentos tem três tipos de gordura. A <strong>saturada</strong> é a que faz mal, pois eleva a taxa de colesterol ruim, chamado de LDL. A <strong>monoinsaturada</strong> faz o contrário: ajuda a reduzir o colesterol e a afastar os problemas do coração. Já a <strong>poliinsaturada </strong>auxilia a baixa do colesterol e pode diminuir a taxa de triglicérides. Saiba mais (mas não abuse das gorduras e pratique exercícios):</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>AZEITE EXTRAVIRGEM DE OLIVA: </strong>extraído da primeira prensagem das azeitonas, sem passar por nenhum processo químico, é o menos ácido e o mais nobre de todos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>AZEITE REFINADO DE OLIVA: </strong>de sabor menos concentrado, é indicado no preparo de alguns pratos, porque não mascara o gosto de outros ingredientes.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>AZEITE PURO DE OLIVA: </strong>o sabor é bem menos acentuado. Em compensação, o preço é mais baixo e o valor nutritivo é o mesmo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>ÓLEO DE CANOLA: </strong>é considerado o mais saudável. Possui menos gordura saturada e maiores teores de monoinsaturada e de ômega 3, uma substância benéfica para o coração.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>ÓLEO DE GIRASSOL: </strong>tem baixo teor de gordura saturada e é rico em gorduras poliinsaturadas, que ajudam o coração. É outra boa opção.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>ÓLEO DE MILHO: </strong>possui alta concentração de gordura poliinsaturada, que tende a reduzir a quantidade de colesterol e de triglicérides.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>ÓLEO DE SOJA: </strong>dos óleos vegetais é o que tem mais gordura saturada. Por outro lado, é um dos mais ricos em ômega 3. Conforme o uso, o saldo pode ser muito positivo.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Resume Vorgestern hat ein TN der Bürgertreff-Gruppe vorsichtig gemeint, ich trete ein bisschen missi]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Resume </strong><em>Vorgestern hat ein TN der<a title="bürgertreff" href="http://jeanpol.wordpress.com/2009/10/24/die-drei-blogs/"> Bürgertreff-Gruppe</a> vorsichtig gemeint, ich trete ein bisschen missionarisch auf. Andere finden, dass ich unglaublich penetrant bin und schrecklich nerve. Bin ich damit erfolgreich?</em></p>
<p><strong>1. Wie es dazu kommt</strong></p>
<p>Als ich 1980 auf die Idee kam, meine Schüler sich gegenseitig im Fach Französisch unterrichten zu lassen, war es in meinen Augen nur eine kleine Technik, die allerdings viele Probleme löste. Ich dachte, jeder Lehrer, jeder Fachdidaktiker würde die Vorteile sofort erkennen und die Methode aufgreifen. Somit war das Thema für mich mehr oder minder erledigt. Als ich aber festellen musste, dass ich auf großen Widerstand stieß, <a title="missionarisch" href="http://de.wikiversity.org/wiki/Benutzer:Jeanpol/Buch/Teil_II#Wie_reagierte_die_Umwelt.3F_Tumult_in_Vilshofen">fing ich an, immer mehr auf diese Technik zu insistieren</a>, sie wissenschaftlich zu untermauern, Verbündete zu suchen, und so wurde ich zum Missionar.</p>
<p><strong>2. Und mit dem Internet?</strong></p>
<p>Als ebenfalls in den 80er Jahren die Computer aufkamen, dachte ich, dass man diese benutzen könne, um alle Stellen der Welt miteinander zu verbinden und beispielsweise die Güterproduktion mit der Güterkonsumption abzugleichen. Das würde die Weltressourcen schonen. Heute macht man sowas mit der Energie. Damals verfasste ich ein Papier darüber und stieß sowohl auf Interesse, als auch auf starke Ablehnung. Die Ablehnung eines aus meiner Sicht so einfachen Prinzips machte mich auch in dieser Sache zum Missionar. Als 1990 das Internet aufkam war für mich klar, dass wir uns auf diese Weise herrlich vernetzen könnten. Als Metapher kam mir das Gehirn in den Sinn und ich unterbreitete diese Evidenz meiner unmittelbaren Umwelt. <a title="neuron" href="http://neuron.mixxt.de/">Neuron</a> und Weltgehirn wurden für mich zu Standardmotto und alle fühlten sich missioniert.</p>
<p><strong>3. Ist das erfolgreich?</strong></p>
<p>Natürlich bekomme ich immer wieder eine auf die <a title="rübe" href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%BCbe#Umgangssprachliche_Ableitungen">Rübe</a>. Dennoch hat sich nun<a title="ldl" href="http://www.ldl.de"> LdL als Methode etabliert</a>, und das Internet als internationales Kommunikationsmittel hat sich sehr früh zunächst in meinen Kursen und dann<a title="ipk" href="http://www.projektkompetenz.de"> in anderen in Eichstätt</a> bewährt und eingebürgert. Und jüngst habe ich, glaube ich, extrem im Ingolstädter Grünenkontext genervt. Aber jetzt lassen sie sich <a title="grüne" href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1103427143&#38;ref=name#/group.php?gid=168751086245&#38;ref=mf">voll auf das Internet</a> ein (nicht nur durch mich, aber auch durch mich). War ich mit meinem Nerven erfolgreich?</p>
<p><strong>Fazit<em> </em></strong><em>Natürlich ist es eine Temperamentssache. Aber wenn man der Überzeugung ist, dass eine Neuerung von großem Nutzen ist, dann ist es vielleicht legitim, zu nerven. Sofern man damit Erfolg hat!:-)))</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span> </span><span> </span><strong><span style="color:#669933;">What the Food Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know</span></strong></p>
<p><img title="a_oreo2" src="http://www.rawfoodlife.com/a_oreo2.jpg" border="0" alt="a_oreo2" hspace="3" width="94" height="93" align="left" />Two decades ago I read a study about the analysis of cholesterol in the arteries of people who died of <strong><em>coronary artery</em></strong> disease. It turned out that much of the gunk lining these arteries wasn’t cholesterol at all &#8211; it was Crisco - <strong>hydrogenated vegetable oil</strong>. Since then I have been warning people not to eat anything with vegetable shortening that is chemically more like plastics than food. Today we call these substances <strong>trans fats</strong>. The industry has known about this for at least that long! Only now, after even more publicity than they could squelch, they’ve started to do something about it.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Trans fats are used mostly for commercial cooking and food preparation, and is one of the main sources of disease in the Standard American Diet (S.A.D.). Hydrogenation adds hydrogen gas to vegetable oil, helping to solidify it into a molecule that more closely resembles plastic than food. The process, used for <strong>margarine</strong> or <strong>shortening</strong>, makes them more unhealthy than real butter, since <strong>hydrogenated fats act like cholesterol in your body</strong>.</p>
<p>Now a law in California holds manufacturers liable for their products if they are known by manufacturers to be unsafe, though not by consumers. In other words, they may be liable for hiding the truth! So finally, after years of knowingly making product bad for your heart, someone is doing something about!</p>
<p>Let’s hold all food manufacturers responsible for their products! By the way &#8211; the company which owns Oreos also owns major cigarette brands. Think about it!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#669933;">More facts about Trans Fats</span></strong></p>
<p>[ad#1001AdsLnkunit-ctrPost468x15]</p>
<p>Trans fats (or <strong>trans fatty acids</strong>) are created in an industrial process that adds hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils to make them more solid. Another name for trans fats is “<strong>partially hydrogenated oils</strong>.”  Look for them on the ingredient list on food packages.</p>
<p>The reason why food industries like using trans fats in their foods because they’re easy to use, inexpensive to produce and last a long time. Trans fats give foods a desirable taste and texture. Many restaurants and fast-food outlets use trans fats to deep-fry foods because oils with trans fats can be used many times in commercial fryers.</p>
<p>Trans fats affect your health in a way that trans fats raise your bad (LDL) cholesterol levels and lower your good (HDL) cholesterol levels. Eating trans fats increases your risk of developing heart disease and stroke. It’s also associated with a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, cancer, arthritis and many other health problems.</p>

<p>Why did trans fats become so popular if they have such health effects? As we know, before1990, very little was known about how trans fat can harm your health. In the 1990s, research began identifying the adverse health effects of trans fats.</p>
<p><strong>Trans Fats are found  everywhere</strong></p>
<p><span>Perhaps you find that it is hard to completely avoid <em>trans</em> fats because they can be found in many foods – but especially in fried foods like French fries and doughnuts, and baked goods including pastries, pie crusts, biscuits, pizza dough, cookies, crackers, and stick margarines and shortenings.  You can determine the amount of <em>trans</em> fats in a particular packaged food by looking at the <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3046050">Nutrition Facts label</a>.  You can also spot <em>trans</em> fats by reading ingredient lists and looking for the ingredients referred to as “partially hydrogenated oils.” </span></p>
<p><strong>The natural trans fats</strong></p>
<p><span>Small amounts of <em>trans</em> fats occur naturally in some meat and dairy products, including beef, lamb and butterfat.  It isn’t clear; though, whether these naturally occurring <em>trans</em> fats have the same bad effects on cholesterol levels as <em>trans</em> fats that have been industrially manufactured. </span></p>
<p><strong>The safe dosage</strong></p>
<p><span>The American Heart Association recommends limiting the <strong>amount of <em>trans</em> fats you eat to less than 1 percent of your total daily calories</strong>.  That means if you need 2,000 calories a day, no more than 20 of those calories should come from <em>trans</em> fats.  That’s less than 2 grams of <em>trans</em> fats a day.  Given the amount of naturally occurring <em>trans</em> fats you probably eat every day, this leaves virtually no room at all for industrially manufactured <em>trans</em> fats.  Find out your personal daily fat limits on <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/myfatstranslator">My Fats Translator</a>. </span></p>
<p><span><strong>How can you stay within your daily limit for <em>trans</em> <em>fats</em> ?</strong></span></p>
<p><span><span>Read the <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3046050">Nutrition Facts label</a> on foods you buy at the store and, when eating out, ask what kind of oil foods are cooked in.  Replace the <em>trans</em> fats in your diet with <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3045795">monounsaturated</a> or  <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3045796">polyunsaturated</a> fats.  For practical tips, learn how to <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3049042">Live Fat-Sensibly</a>.</span></span></p>

<p><span>The American Heart Association recommends limiting the <strong>amount of <em>trans</em> fats you eat to less than 1 percent of your total daily calories</strong>.  That means if you need 2,000 calories a day, no more than 20 of those calories should come from <em>trans</em> fats.  That’s less than 2 grams of <em>trans</em> fats a day.  Given the amount of naturally occurring <em>trans</em> fats you probably eat every day, this leaves virtually no room at all for industrially manufactured <em>trans</em> fats.  Find out your personal daily fat limits on <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/myfatstranslator">My Fats Translator</a>. </span></p>
<p><span><strong>How can you stay within your daily limit for <em>trans</em> <em>fats</em> ?</strong></span></p>
<p><span><span>Read the <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3046050">Nutrition Facts label</a> on foods you buy at the store and, when eating out, ask what kind of oil foods are cooked in.  Replace the <em>trans</em> fats in your diet with <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3045795">monounsaturated</a> or  <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3045796">polyunsaturated</a> fats.  For practical tips, learn how to <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3049042">Live Fat-Sensibly</a>.</span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The link between insulin, diabetes and breast cancer is not the only health concern we should worry about. Insulin&#8217;s association with the manifestation and prognosis of these risk factors and diseases has been shown time and time again:</p>
<p>1.	colon cancer<br />
2.	prostate cancer<br />
3.	pancreatic cancer<br />
4.	breast cancer<br />
5.	diabetes<br />
6.	metabolic syndrome<br />
7.	obesity<br />
8.	high blood pressure (kidney damage)<br />
9.	congestive heart failure<br />
10.	high levels of triglycerides (liver damage)<br />
11.	low HDL (good) cholesterol (liver damage)<br />
12.	heart disease<br />
13.	high C-reactive protein levels (heart disease)<br />
14.	polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)<br />
15.	inflammation<br />
16.	infertility<br />
17.	aging, common characteristics of those who live the longest include low normal values for:<br />
•	fasting insulin levels<br />
•	fasting glucose<br />
•	triglycerides<br />
•	body fat found around your organs, typically you carry weight around the   	mid-section of your body </p>
<p>High insulin levels affect children too! Here are risk factors associated with high insulin levels and diseases that are common in children who are overweight.</p>
<p>1.	overweight<br />
2.	diabetes<br />
3.	metabolic syndrome<br />
4.	high homocysteine levels (a risk factor for heart disease and stroke)<br />
5.	high LDL (bad cholesterol)<br />
6.	non-alcoholic fatty liver disease<br />
7.	acanthosis nigricans (a brown or black velvety color to the skin). </p>
<p>If the information is out there, ever wonder why the smart guys making big money do not focus on this? Me too, the bottom line for early detection of the illnesses mentioned above is to speak with your doctor about checking insulin levels (fasting and after you eat along with a glucose tolerance test) at routine visits. Eat low carbohydrate/low glycemic foods that will help keep insulin levels low.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>O homem tem pela carne, o seu alimento de preferência. A carne possui de fonte proteína essencial para o desenvolvimento normal do homem.</p>
<p> É também fonte de gordura, a qual constitui um dos nutrientes mais importantes na dieta dos humanos e dos animais, pois fornece energia, ácidos graxos essenciais transporta vitaminas lipossolúveis no sangue.</p>
<p> egundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), o consumo de gordura deve estar entre 15% a 30%  do total da energia alimentar diária.</p>
<p>  colesterol está presente somente em alimentos oriundos de gordura animal. Cerca de 30% do colesterol, presente no organismo, provém da dieta; os outros 70% são produzidos pelo fígado, sendo que quanto maior for a ingestão de colesterol menor será a produção hepática.</p>
<p> Uma alimentação com excesso de gorduras saturadas faz com que o colesterol excedente, produzida pelo próprio organismo, se deposite nas paredes das artérias.</p>
<p> Para que o consumo de qualquer carne vermelha não seja prejudicial à saúde:</p>
<ul>
<li> Dê preferência a carne magras.</li>
<li> Só assar a carne após remover o excesso de gordura.</li>
<li> Introduzir outras carnes brancas, principalmente a de peixe, que são ricas em proteínas e pobres em gorduras saturadas, carne de frango (sem pele).</li>
<li> Incluir porções de vegetais e frutas.</li>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>What is cholesterol? </p>
<p>How many are still asking the question? Cholesterol is a fatty substance that is found in greater quantities in animals including man as in all other life forms. It has two origins: the diet and biosynthesis, primarily by the liver. </p>
<p>It is present in all cells and its rate, when too high can cause health problems very serious or even fatal. Obese people, smokers, alcoholics and menopausal women are considered more risky, but we find poorly controlled cholesterol in children younger and younger. </p>
<p>Cholesterol is found in two forms. The free form, ie it is associated with nothing else and the esterified form when linked to a fatty acid to form Steroids. Its low hydrophilic character who found himself in the free form is completely removed when it is linked to a fatty acid. </p>
<p>However cholesterol should not be considered an enemy. Humans need cholesterol because it is an essential component of our cells. In fact this is the priority component of cell membranes. The formation of the lipid layer of plasma membranes utilizes a significant portion of cholesterol. The latter also plays a role in membrane fluidity. </p>
<p>There can be no human life without cholesterol because it is the precursor of steroid hormones and is among others used by our body to manufacture vitamin D. It is also an essential constituent of bile. </p>
<p>Let us respect our cholesterol, but keep it in the eye!<br />
The &#8220;good&#8221; and &#8220;bad&#8221; cholesterol. </p>
<p>In fact, cholesterol is not under two different molecules. Rather transportation systems that carry blood that have very different roles: lipoprotein (LDL small density lipoproteins) and HDL (high density lipoprotein). Hence the popular name of LDL and HDL. </p>
<p>HDL cholesterol recovered in the organs that have too much and relates to the liver which is responsible for its elimination. These are HDL cleans all the arteries of fatty deposits of poor quality and thus help reduce the occurrence of atherosclerotic plaque. Therefore we attribute the adjective &#8220;good&#8221; cholesterol to HDL. </p>
<p>LDL working in the opposite direction. This means that they deposit cholesterol on artery walls. Then begin to form slabs of fat called atheroma. Hence the title of &#8220;bad&#8221; cholesterol. </p>
<p>Cholesterol is one of the causative agents of atherosclerosis leading to cardiovascular disease. The excess &#8220;bad cholesterol&#8221; and the lack of &#8220;good cholesterol&#8221; are recognized as risk factors for cardiovascular disease. </p>
<p>There are several treatments to reduce &#8220;bad cholesterol&#8221; but exercise and healthy eating are identified as the natural solution more effective. However, some drugs have the power to increase the rate of &#8220;good&#8221; cholesterol. Think of &#8220;statins&#8221; that get extraordinary results in people heavily affected by the &#8220;bad&#8221; cholesterol. </p>
<p>A visit to your doctor is recommended. Have a test to know your cholesterol level and take the opportunity to inform you about &#8220;statins&#8221;. The results of your tests will tell you if you use medication or if a better quality of life, a healthy diet and exercise would be sufficient. </p>
<p>But remember that over the report &#8220;total cholesterol / HDL is higher the cardiovascular risk is high. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;line-height:14px;font:14px Arial;color:#ff2a1d;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:medium;"><span><strong>WOW, what a side benefit to the fat melting Zerona Laser that has been reducing waistlines by 1-2 sizes taking anywhere from 2-6 inches off your stomach, hips &#38; thighs while simply taking a much needed relaxing nap or reading a book.</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="line-height:14px;font:13px Arial;min-height:15px;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"> </span></p>

<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-312" title="zerona_cf_clipped" src="http://zeronadoc.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/zerona_cf_clipped.png?w=212" alt="zerona_cf_clipped" width="212" height="300" /></p>
<p style="line-height:14px;font:13px Arial;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span> healthcare applications, announces today that its newest laser for body sculpting, Zerona, has been clinically shown to reduce the levels of the hunger-hormone, leptin, and lipoprotein (LDL). A 22 participant pilot study revealed that Zerona not only reduced circumferential inches following a two week treatment phase, but also lowered all patients’ leptin levels and reduced low-density lipoprotein numbers in over 50% of the participants in just two weeks. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="line-height:14px;font:12px Arial;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span> </span></span></span></p>
<p style="line-height:14px;font:13px Arial;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span>Although Zerona is already positioned ahead of its competitors in terms of its ability to non-invasively, safely and effectively reduce an average of 3.64 inches around the waist, hips and thighs, this new data could have beneficial results for many patients struggling with overeating. Suppressing the very hormones that may cause individuals to be overweight or obese can further aid Zerona patients with their weight-loss goals.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="line-height:14px;font:12px Arial;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span> </span></span></span></p>
<p style="line-height:14px;font:13px Arial;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span>Erchonia President, Steve Shanks, comments, “For most devices, the patient comes in, receives the treatment and leaves; the reason why that person was overweight or obese to begin with is not addressed. By suppressing the hunger-hormone leptin, patients’ appetites can be lessened helping them modify their diets and establish portion control going forward.” </span></span></span></p>
<p style="line-height:14px;font:12px Arial;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span> </span></span></span></p>
<p style="line-height:14px;font:13px Arial;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span>In addition to reducing inches, suppressing hunger and reducing LDL levels, Zerona is also unique because it does not destroy fat tissue, unlike the majority of other devices on the market. Zerona promote a biological cascade within the cell provoking the formation of tiny pore or opening within the protective barrier of the cell. Then, stored fatty material leaves the cell, causing it to collapse safely.”</span></span></span></p>
