Introduction to Medical Parasitology: Some Important Terms
2008-05-04 15:29:00
Before we move on deeper into the subject of medical parasitology, Let us study first some important terms in Medical Parasitology.Parasites are organisms that lives on the surface or in the body of other organisms temporarily or permanently, and they acquire food from the host.Ectoparasites: Parasites that lives on the body surface of the host and cause infestations.Endoparas ites: Parasites that lives in the body of the host and cause infections.Obligate parasites: Parasites that cannot complete its lifecycle without the host.Facultative parasites: Parasites that are able to com plete its lifecycle as a parasite or as a free-living organism.It is important to note that :1. Parasites are smaller than the host.2. Parasites has a shorter lifespan.3. Parasites has a higher breeding potential.

Olive oil
2008-04-13 09:13:00
Olive oil is a fruit oil obtained from the olive (Olea europaea), a traditional crop of the mediterannean basin. it is commonly used in cooking, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and soaps, and as a fuel or traditional oil.Olive oil is healthier than other sources of alimentary fats because of its high content of monounsaturated fat (mainly oleic acid) and polyphenols.The International Olive Oil Council (IOOC) is an inter-governmental organisation based in Madrid, Spain, with 23 member states. It promotes olive oil around the world by tracking production, defining quality standards and monitoring authenticity.Types of olive oil:Extra virgin: Considered the best, least processed, comprising the oil from the first pressing of the olives; contains no more than 0.8% of the acidity, and is judged to have a superior taste. There can be no refined oil in extra-virgin olive oil.Virgin: From the second pressing; has an acidity of less than 2%, and judged to have Â a good taste. There can be no refi...

The Health Benefits of Tofu
2008-03-24 15:17:00
What is Tofu and How is it made?Tofu is soybean curd, made from soymilk in much the same way that cheese is made from cow's milk. Most large-scale maufacturers of tofu make their own soymilk, to which they then add an agent to cause coagulation, usually a salt or an acid.When a coagulant is added to the hot-boiled soymilk, it causes curds (made of protein and fat) to form. The excess liquid is squeezed out and the remaining solid curds are presed into blocks. There are typically three main varieties of tofu. firm, soft and silken.Firm TofuFirm tofu is dense and holds its shape easily. It's best for slicing, stir-frying, marinating and grilling. It has the highest protein, calcium and fat content of all tofu.Soft TofuIt is more gelatinous and it works well in soups and as an egg replacer, since its consistency is similar to that of a har-boiled egg-white.Silken Tofu is curdled in its package and not drained, resulting in a creamy tofu with a high moisture content. Its great for ble...

Eight Important factors
2008-03-17 13:36:00
A Healthy body is freedom, a Sick body is a prison - Francis BaconTo achieve health, there are several factors that we must consider and put into action.Which are:1. Nutrition:Â - the benefits of good diet and nutrition will be enhanced when it is complemented with other healthy habits: Clean air, water, sunshine, exercise and a healthy state of mind. By putting all of them into action, living in this earth will almost be felt as living in the heaven.Food and diet merely will not benefit us in its simple from, we must also consider how, when and our action when we eat.2. Air:-we may be able to survive for a few weeks without food; a few days without water, but we will never survive more than three to four minutes without air. Oxygen is needed to 'burn' our food in the cells to produce energy for life.we must be able to breathe freely, in a clean air of course. The correct breathing posture must be maintained (upright chest) to ease breathing. And remember, when you breathe in a ro...

An Introduction to Parasitology
2008-03-10 14:21:00
Parasitology is the study of parasites that causes diseases to humans and animals, which is their hosts.Parasites are not merely just mites, worms, or lic es, but it also involves protozoas and ma ny more organisms which is unknown to ordinary human.According to wikipedia.com "Parasitology is the study of parasites, their hosts, and the relationship between them. As a biological discipline, the scope of parasitology is not determined by the organism or environment in question, but by their way of life. This means it forms a synthesis of other disciplines, and draws on techniques from fields such as cell biology, bioinformatics, biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology, genetics, evolution and ecology"True as it is, parasites not only pose dangers to humans but to the environment as well. If not controlled, it will cause major problems to societies as a whole.There are several fields of parasitology which are:1.1 Medical parasitology1.2 Veterinary parasitology1.3 Structural parasit...

Bedtime Snacks that Help You Sleep
2008-03-07 08:47:00
By Joy Bauer, M.S., R.D., C.D.N.One of the best natural sedatives is tryptophan, an amino acid component of many plant and animal proteins.Tryptophan is one of the ingredients necessary for the body to make serotonin, the neurotransmitter best known for creating feelings of calm, and for making you sleepy.However, the trick is to combine foods that have some tryptophan with ample carbohydrate. Thatâ€™s because in order for insomnia-busting tryptophan to work, it has to make its way to the brain.Unfortunately, all amino acids compete for transport to the brain. When you add carbs, they cause the release of insulin, which takes the competing amino acids and incorporates them into muscleâ€¦but leaves tryptophan alone, so it can make its way to the brain, be converted to serotonin, and cause sleepiness.Serotonin-producing bedtime snacks should be no more than 200 calories and should be eaten at least 30 minutes prior to bed.Here are a few great ideas:Bedtime Snacks for Adults--6-8 oz co...

Here are the top seven foods you should never ever feed your family or yourself!1.DoughnutsIt's hard to resist the smell of a Krispy Kreme doughnut, which is why I never step foot in the store. Doughnuts are fried chock-full of sugar and white flour and loads of trans fat.According to the Krispy Kreme website, an average 3.5 ounce sugar doughnut weighs in with about 400 calories and contains few other nutrients besides fat.

Tea is it Good for You?
2008-02-20 14:16:00
Tea has many benefits: it has a greater proportion of antioxidants than other drinks, less caffeine than coffee.According to Dr.Mao in his articleÂ Tea: The Elixir of Life Tea is full of powerful antioxidants that improve concentration, gently boost energy, and make people happier. The free radical-inhibiting property of tea is more potent than that of vitamin E, and tea is a proven preventive and treatment for atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). The polyphenols in tea, especially the catechins, are powerful antioxidants that help ward off diabetes and cancer.To get the most health from your tea, brew it fresh from tea bags or loose leaves and herbs, as instant and bottled teas contain less active compounds. Let the tea steep for three to five minutes to extract the most beneficial compounds. Drink to your health!__________________________________ _________________________________He also stated that its better to drink tea in the morning rather than coffee because althoughÂ ...

All of us know that soyabean drink provides good protein to our body... but many of us don't know that there are certain days we should Â avoid drinking it.Soya bean drinks are best consumed on hot sunny days when the sun is strong. The soya milk will give lots of nutrients to the body as the body is able to absorb the protein well.However, avoid the drink when the weather is cloudy or raining.Taking the drink in these weather, the body will not be able to take in the protein and will result in a disease called "GOUT" or "high acidic urine" due to the high protein residue in the body, after a long run.This disease will cause pain to your knee joints and it will onlybe in control when you control your food intake of proteins andmedication. The pain is unbearable and usually you will have no idea what you have taken to cause the pain.Food like soya beans, ikan bilis, broccoli, spinach,peanuts,animal organs ( i.e. pork liver) etc will have to be avoided to prevent the pain from attac...

Milk: Is it really worth drinking?
2008-01-17 11:05:00
Perhaps you never think about this but actually this is a new information for all of us. This brought to me in mind when I read about an article by Paul Spencer in his website, which proved to enlighten me a lot about Milk . Some of his statement and information really answered many questions of mine. Below are extracts of some useful information regarding milk and its drinking consequences:Milk are very benefial and nutritious: only in its clean and raw form. Pausterised milk lost many of its benefical and useful nutrition, and furthermore processed milk posed more dangers for human because it contains antibiotics and hormones that can cause many health complications later.Cow milk is benefical to calf as human milk to man, therefore the composition of proteins and minerals are indeed varied considerably. Cow milk consumption is harder to digest because of the presence of casein, a specific substance in cows milk. Furthermore, the presence of casein in human digestive tract can tr...

Malnutrition
2007-11-20 09:59:00
Malnutrition is a general term for a medical condition caused by an improper or insufficient diet. It most often refers to undernutrition resulting from inadequate consumption, poor absorption, or excessive loss of nutrients, but the term can also encompass overnutrition, resulting from overeating or excessive intake of specific nutrients. An individual will experience malnutrition if the appropriate amount of, or quality of nutrients comprising a healthy diet are not consumed for an extended period of time. An extended period of malnutrition can result in starvation, disease, and infection.Malnutrition is the lack of sufficient nutrients to maintain healthy bodily functions and is typically associated with extreme poverty in economically developing countries. It is a common cause of reduced intelligence in parts of the world affected by famine.Malnutrition as the result of inappropriate dieting, overeating or the absence of a "balanced diet" is often observed in economically develo...

The term flavonoid refers to a class of plant secondary metabolites.Metabolites is the outcome of the breakdown of certain biochemical compounds in plants.So what is the benefit of a flavonoid?Flavonoids are most commonly known for their antioxidant activity. However, it is now known that the health benefits they provide against cancer and heart disease are the result of other mechanisms.Flavonoids are also commonly referred to as bioflavonoids in the media â€“ the terms are equivalent and interchangeable, for flavonoids are biological in origin.Flavonoids are widely distributed in plants fulfilling many functions including producing yellow or red/blue pigmentation in flowers and protection from attack by microbes and insects. The widespread distribution of flavonoids, their variety and their relatively low toxicity compared to other active plant compounds (for instance alkaloids) mean that many animals, including humans, ingest significant quantities in their diet. Flavonoids have ...

Balanced Diet
2007-11-16 06:40:00
Balanced NutritionIn order to begin creating a healthy diet, we must first understand the basics of good nutrition. There are six classes of nutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and water. All of these nutrients are necessary as sources of energy and to create chemical reactions within the body to make it function. PROTEINS: The substance that builds tissues for growth and repair. Without protein your body with break down its own muscle tissue. Proteins are also used by the body to stabilize blood sugar levels by stimulating glucagon. PROTEINS CAN BE FOUND IN MEAT, POULTRY, FOUL, FISH, EGGS, MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS, BEANS, NUTS, YEAST, GRAINS, SOY AND WHEAT GERM. PROTEIN SHOULD ACCOUNT FOR ABOUT 20 TO 30 PERCENT OF A HEALTHY DIET. ......................................... ......................................... ..CARBOHYDRATES [and fiber]: Carbohydrates are our main source of energy and are found in starch, sugar and fiber.

Atkins Nutritional Approach
2007-11-16 05:18:00
The Atkins Nutritional Approach, popularly known as the Atkins Diet or just Atkins, is the most marketed and well-known low-carbohydrate diet. It was adapted by Dr. Robert Atkins in the 1960s from a diet he read in the Journal of the American Medical Association and utilized to resolve his own overweight condition following medical school and graduate medical training. After successfully treating over ten thousand patients, he popularized the Atkins diet in a series of books, starting with Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution in 1972. In his revised book, Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, Atkins updated some of his ideas, but remained faithful to the original concepts.The Atkins franchise, a business formed that provides products to those individuals on the diet, has been highly successful due to the popularity of the diet, and is considered the iconic and driving entity of the larger "low-carb craze". However, various factors have led to its dwindling success and the company founded by Dr....

Antioxidant Vitamins - mixed result by AHA

Antioxidant Vitamins Why antioxidant vitamins?Much research has recently focused on how antioxidant vitamins may reduce cardiovascular disease risk. Antioxidant vitamins â€” E, C and beta carotene (a form of vitamin A) â€” have potential health-promoting properties. Though the data are incomplete, up to 30 percent of Americans are taking some form of antioxidant supplement.AHA Scientific PositionThe American Heart Association doesn't recommend using antioxidant vitamin supplements until more complete data are available. We continue to recommend that people eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods daily from all the basic food groups.Eating a variety of foods low in saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol will provide a natural source of these vitamins, minerals and fiber.BackgroundOxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL or "bad") cholesterol is important in the development of fatty buildups in the arteries.

Antioxidant
2007-10-07 05:31:00
An Antioxidant is a molecule capable of slowing or preventing the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that transfers electrons from a substance to an oxidizing agent. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals, which start chain reactions that damage cells. Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing radical intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions by being oxidized themselves. As a result, antioxidants are often reducing agents such as thiols or polyphenols.Although oxidation reactions are crucial for life, they can also be damaging; hence, plants and animals maintain complex systems of multiple types of antioxidants, such as glutathione, vitamin C, and vitamin E as well as enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase and various peroxidases. Low levels of antioxidants, or inhibition of the antioxidant enzymes causes oxidative stress and may damage or kill cells.As oxidative stress has been associated with the pathogenesis of...

FIBRE: ITS GOOD FOR YOU
2007-09-25 15:35:00
Under the less trendy term 'roughage,' fibre enjoyed great respect among our grandparents, and during the 1970s its image was resurrected by British physician Dennis Burkett, who practised for many years in rural Africa. He attributed the rarity of ailments such as hernias, hemorrhoids, diabetes, diverticulitis (small outpunchings of the large intestine), heart disease and bowel disease in that area to native diets rich in whole grains, seeds, roots, vegetables and nuts. He blamed the high incidence of these disorders in Western countries on a lack of dietary fibre. Burkett's theories were enthusiastically adopted in the 1970s as the 'Bran Hypothesis'.Many of us may remember the heyday of bran during the late 1970s and early 1980s with massive promotion of bran cereals and granola. Next came the oat bran craze, with oat products in all shapes and sizes flooding the market claiming to lower blood cholesterol and fight heart disease. A 1990's review of many studies examining the...

The Downsides of Bottled Water and Energy Drinks Posted by Simeon Margolis, M.D., Ph.D.on Thu, Sep 13, 2007, 10:32 pm PDTIn an earlier entry, I railed against the bogus health benefits of bottled waters such as AquafinaÂ®, a Pepsi product that TV advertisements are now admitting is simply tap water that has been "filtered, filtered, and filtered" again, to remove the (harmless) impurities present in much cheaper tap water.Next to appear on the supermarket shelves were additional unneeded bottled waters fortified with unneeded herbs and vitamins. In addition, the non-degradable plastic bottles containing these unneeded products add to the litter on streets and the problems associated with waste disposal.The wisdom of using bottled waters may be questionable, but at least they don't pose the possible health risks of so-called "energy drinks."

Vitamins: How helpful are they?Vitamins are just found in the early of 20th century. Its significance and importance were not emphasized until research found that it is just as essential as the other dietary components.So what are Vitamins?Vitamins are actually organic dietary compound that is not used by the body to produce energy. Unlike carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, vitamins' main roles is to preserve health in human body.Vitamins cannot be produced by the body and thus we must get them mainly from food. Except for Vitamin D, which can be synthesized by the skin with the aid of sunlight.Eventhough vitamins are essential, it is required only in small quantities. As small as it may seem, deficiency can lead to health complications in humans.Requirements:Vitamins are required in different proportions by different types of people.

Fats can aggravate, worsen and increase risk of cancer, circulation problems, cirrhosis, heart disease, gout, joint problems, and thrombosis among others.among the benefits of fats are:- provide essential fatty acids for skin and regulating body functions.- act as a medium for fat-soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K) to be absorbed in the body.- as a source of energy for the body.Fats are made up from fatty acids. Useful unsaturated fatty acids are in their polyunsaturated form.which are:1. Omega-6 fatty acids derived from linoleic acid (vegetable oils, olive oils, sunflower oils)2. Omega-3 fatty acids derived from linolenic acid (vegetable oils, soya bean and rapseed oil, walnut, fish oils: sardines, herring, mackerel and salmon)deficiency in omega-6 fatty acids can lead to poor growth, skin problems, blood clots, and an impaired immune system.

Proteins are macromolecules (Big molecules), made from repetitions of amino acids. Just like carbohydrates they are polymers. But, not all proteins are the same. They also differ in size and constituents. protein depends on what amino acids they are made from and as far as scientist have researched there are 64 types of amino acids. Each protein may have several types of combinations in different proportions. A typical protein contains 200-300 amino acids but some are much smaller, and some are larger (the largest to date is titin, a protein which is found in skeletal and cardiac muscle).So far there are eight amino acids that the body cannot make itself, and it has to be acquired through diet.Â These are isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine. Infants additionally need food sources of histidine and possibly taurine.Some of the protein you eat contains all the amino acids needed to build new proteins. This kind is called complete pro...
