Singapura: Singapura mencatat kadar jangkaan hayat keempat terbaik di dunia berdasarkan data dikeluarkan Pertubuhan Kesihatan Dunia (WHO), semalam. Menurut maklumat agensi itu, kadar purata jangka hayat ketika lahir adalah 82 tahun pada 2011, menjadikan ia setaraf dengan Itali. Kadar jangkaan hayat wanita di Singapura ialah 85 tahun, manakala lelaki 80 tahun.

Tiga tempat teratas adalah Jepun dengan jangka hayat bagi wanita ialah 86 tahun berbanding lelaki 82 tahun diikuti Switzerland dan San Marino. Ketiga-tiga negara itu mencatatkan kadar jangka hayat 83 tahun, jauh lebih tinggi berbanding kadar global iaitu 70 tahun. Sementara itu, Sierra Leone berada di tempat terbawah dengan 47 tahun. Dekan Sekolah Kesihatan Awam Saw Swee Hock, Prof Chia Kee Seng berkata, Singapura perlu memberi tumpuan kepada peningkatan taraf hidup lebih meluas dengan mencegah penyakit kronik kerana ia boleh melembapkan kemajuan. Laporan WHO itu turut membandingkan kadar jangka hayat semasa berbanding data pada 1990 dan 2000. Pada 1990, Singapura berada di kedudukan ke-29 dengan purata kadar jangka hayat 75 tahun.

P/S: Kat Singapura, rakyat dia celik dan cerdik2.... Walaupun penduduknya sangat padat, tiada banyak berlaku pencemaran makanan, plastik, alam sekitar dsbnya berlaku di sana...

 

Rahsia menghindari sel kanser

Rahsia menghindari sel kanser

Perubatan moden merupakan pilihan utama rawatan bagi kebanyakan orang yang menghidap kanser walaupun ada sesetengah pesakit memilih untuk berubat secara tradisional. Pembedahan, kemoterapi dan radioterapi merupakan antara rawatan yang diterima oleh pesakit kanser.

Walaupun ketiga-tiga jenis rawatan itu kedengaran menakutkan, namun kesemuanya perlu dilalui dengan harapan sel kanser yang berada di dalam tubuh akan mati.

Dr. R. Subramaniam dari Hospital Pavitra Nature and Yoga di Coimbatore, di Tamil Nadu, selatan India berkata, masalah utama dalam kehidupan manusia ialah apabila mereka menghidapi sesuatu penyakit yang sudah tentunya mencetuskan ketidakselesaan.

Namun beliau percaya, ia bukan sesuatu yang perlu sentiasa dibimbangi kerana setiap penyakit ada ubatnya.

''Sebenarnya alam semula jadi dapat memberikan kita apa sahaja yang kita kehendaki. Jika kita berbalik kepada alam, kita tidak memerlukan ubat kerana semuanya terdapat di sekeliling kita," katanya yang terkenal dengan kaedah rawatan penyakit kronik melalui pengambilan buah-buahan dan sayur-sayuran.

Berasal dari daerah Coimbatore, Dr. Subramanian telah 30 tahun mengamalkan kaedah rawatan tersebut bagi merawat pesakit-pesakit kanser di hospitalnya.

Beliau berada di Kuala Lumpur bagi menyampaikan ceramah untuk pesakit dan bekas pesakit kanser bertajuk Kesihatan Optimal Cara Semulajadi Dengan Buah-Buahan dan Sayur-Sayuran anjuran Persatuan Kanser Kebangsaan Malaysia (NCSM).

Menurut beliau, setiap hari, sebanyak 0.8 peratus sel baru tumbuh dalam tubuh manusia. Jumlah tersebut lebih tinggi bagi kanak-kanak kerana faktor usia yang muda dan akan berkurangan apabila usia semakin meningkat.

''Jika difikirkan, kehidupan kita sentiasa dalam keadaan tergesa-gesa sehinggakan apabila makan pun kita tidak mengunyah dengan betul. Nabi Muhammad pun ada menyarankan agar kita mengunyah makanan sekurang kurangnya 44 kali sebelum sebarang makanan ditelan.

"Makanan seharusnya dikunyah perlahan-lahan dan pastikan kita dapat nikmati rasa makanan yang kita makan. "Makanan yang dikunyah dengan betul dan bercampur dengan enzim lipase dan amylase dalam air liur akan dicerna baik dan diproses menjadi darah yang elok dalam tubuh kita,'' ujarnya.

Beliau menyarankan agar makan apabila perlu dan apabila lapar. Jangan makan terlalu banyak. Jangan minum air semasa makan kerana akan merencatkan proses hadaman di dalam mulut menggunakan enzim pencerna makanann yg terdapat dalam air liur!

"Jika tidak lapar, jangan makan. Ikut tabiat kanak-kanak. Mereka tidak akan makan jika tidak lapar walaupun ibu bapa memaksa. Itu adalah cara yang betul. Jika hendak makan, ambil sedikit sahaja," katanya.

Dr. Subramaniam menjelaskan, kanser merupakan sel mati yang tidak diperlukan oleh tubuh manusia. Setiap hari tubuh kita mengeluarkan sel-sel mati melalui pembuangan air besar dan peluh.

Bagaimanapun jika tidak dibuang dengan cara yang betul, sel mati yang tidak diperlukan ini akan berkumpul dalam badan dan menjadi sel kanser. Justeru di hospitalnya, setiap pesakit diajar melakukan enema (rawatan perubatan konvensional mrenggunakan memasukkan kimia ke dalam usus besar anda!)  kerana ia salah satu rawatan yang penting bagi mengatasi sembelit.

''Membersihkan kolon dengan betul adalah penting. Bersihkan dua kali sehari, Jika tidak boleh cara semula jadi, lakukan enema semulajadi dengan menelan jus buah lai atau jus nenas mentah. Jangan campur sebarang susu atau gula pada jus mentah semulajadi ini kerana ia mengganggu serapan nutrien. ''Bernafas dengan betul dan bersenam akan membuatkan kita lebih bertenaga. Amalkan kehidupan yang gembira dan jangan lemah semangat," katanya.

NEW DELHI - Sebuah perkampungan terpencil di utara India menggemparkan pakar-pakar kesihatan kerana memiliki lebih daripada 100 pasangan kembar, lapor akhbar MailOnline kelmarin.

Fenomena itu berlaku di sebuah perkampungan yang dikenali sebagai Mohammedpur Umari yang terletak dalam wilayah Uttar Pradesh.

Kampung tersebut dihuni oleh 6,000 penduduk. Lokasi itu tiada jalan raya yang sempurna, sekolah atau pun hospital.

Namun, perkara luar biasa berlaku apabila terdapat lebih daripada 100 pasangan kembar di kampung tersebut sejak 50 tahun lalu.

Menurut beberapa penduduk di perkampungan Dhumanganj yang terletak berhampiran Mohammedpur Umari, bilangan kembar itu mungkin mencecah 200 pasangan jika terdapat sebuah hospital di lokasi tersebut.

Lebih daripada 90 anak kembar yang dilahirkan dilaporkan meninggal dunia sejak kebelakangan ini kerana kesukaran mendapatkan rawatan perubatan.

"Bayangkan betapa indahnya jika semua anak kembar yang dilahirkan menetap di kampung ini," kata seorang penduduk kampung Mohammedpur Umari, Mohammed Asif.

Perkampungan itu mempunyai 80 peratus penduduk beragama Islam dengan 20 peratus lagi penganut Hindu. Namun fenomena kelahiran kembar itu berlaku dalam kedua-dua komuniti tersebut. - Agensi

Kepentingan Probiotik

Kepentingan Probiotik

The Shocking Truth About Probiotics
Americans spent over $1 billion on probiotic supplements last year. Are these pills worth it?

Are you among the 1 in 3 of Americans who struggle to maintain optimal digestive function? If you've ever suffered from annoying digestive issues like heartburn, gas, bloating, constipation or stomach upset, you know how much poor digestion can negatively impact your quality of life. However, you may think that digestive distress is just about being uncomfortable, but the fact is, when your digestion suffers, so do many other aspects of your health.

Here's some important information that you need to know: Your body depends on a healthy, optimally functioning digestive tract to efficiently break down the foods you eat, extract essential nutrients and eliminate harmful toxins. And in truth, the seemingly minor digestive complaints so many people struggle with on a daily basis are actually precursors to much more serious health problems. Unfortunately, this connection has long been overlooked by conventional medicine.

To make matters worse, the approach most doctors take to help patients complaining of digestive discomfort is to prescribe drugs that do nothing to address the underlying cause of the problem and are riddled with side effects. For example, when people complain of heartburn, doctors frequently recommend acid blocking medications, also known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which are the third highest selling class of drugs in the U.S. Many people take PPIs for years, not realizing that they interfere with absorption of essential nutrients like vitamin B12 and magnesium, cause bone loss and increase the risk of contracting a deadly infection. These drugs also cause rebound symptoms, which is to say, they actually make heartburn worse, leading many people to become increasingly dependent on them for relief.

My name is Joshua Corn and I am the Editor-in-Chief of Live in the Now, one of the fastest growing natural health publications in the nation. My passion for natural healing drives me to spread the word about simple, safe and effective health solutions that can dramatically improve your life. Please keep reading to learn more.

The Crucial Digestion Connection

More and more research is showing that when your digestion suffers, so does your overall health.^[1] Poor digestion can make it difficult for your body to absorb crucial nutrients from the food you eat and to eliminate harmful toxins, resulting in nutritional deficiencies and systemic toxicity. The buildup of toxic matter inside the intestines promotes the growth of harmful microbes, which can set the stage for indigestion and eventually, more serious digestive disorders. This toxic buildup can contaminate the bloodstream and make digestion uncomfortable and progressively less efficient.

Additionally, here's a surprising fact that most people are shocked to learn: Roughly 80% of your immune system is actually found in your gastrointestinal (GI) tract!^[2] This means that your gut is a key player when it comes to maintaining a strong immune system and optimal overall health.

Why Do People Struggle with Poor Digestion

The underlying cause of most digestive complaints is simple: a microbial imbalance. Our GI tracts are colonized with bacteria beginning from the day we're born, and as a result, our intestines are brimming with many different strains of bacteria, some beneficial — some not. The "bad" microbes promote disease, while the "good" microbes promote efficient digestion, helping us to absorb nutrients and eliminate toxins. These friendly bacteria, also known as probiotics (which means "for life"), stimulate the immune system and work to crowd out the bad microbes.

As a result, when we eliminate or reduce the good microbes from our body, we set ourselves up for nutritional deficiencies, the build-up of dangerous toxins, increased susceptibility to infection — and a whole cascade of health problems. Exposure to antibiotics, antibacterial hand soaps and environmental pollutants, as well as poor eating habits and stress can all quickly kill off good bacteria.^[3] In fact, antibiotics are one of the very worst culprits, since they are literally designed to quickly kill bacteria (both the good and bad types) in your body, and since so many doctors prescribe them unnecessarily.

Improve Your Health Quickly with Probiotics

The latest scientific research is showing that it's crucial to make sure you've got plenty of good bacteria in your body.^[4] And while this may seem like news from the cutting-edge of science — humans throughout the world have actually known this for centuries. Throughout history, people have used fermented foods which are naturally high in probiotics, such as yogurt, cheese, miso and cultured vegetables, to support intestinal health.

Unfortunately, in this modern day and age, most of us need a little extra help, even if we regularly consume fermented foods. Of course, the big food and pharmaceutical companies are trying to capitalize on the growing popularity of probiotics and have come up with a slew of "probiotic" drinks, snacks and pills that are little more than marketing hype. And of course, as with any health trend, there are some shady supplement companies out there hawking probiotic pills that offer little to no benefits whatsoever.^[5] But this doesn't mean you should stay away from probiotics.

In fact, taking a high quality probiotic supplement may make many nagging health problems quickly disappear. However, it's important to choose the right product so you're not wasting time, money and the opportunity to revolutionize your health!

Most Probiotic Supplements Are DOA!

Here's some essential information that you need to know about probiotic supplements: The live bacteria most contain are literally DEAD ON ARRIVAL by the time they make it to you. That's because most probiotic supplements require consistently cold temperatures to keep the bacteria alive. Even if the bottle is refrigerated in the store when you buy it, you can't be sure it was refrigerated in the truck, in the warehouse, etc. Just a few hours of exposure to light or heat is all it takes to kill the microbes. And unfortunately, the few advanced formulas out there that don't require refrigeration are absurdly expensive.

How to Avoid Wasting Your Money on Probiotics

As I explained above, most of the probiotic supplements you'll find out there don't have what it takes to get the job done — and some are literally worthless! Here are four things to look for to ensure that you're spending your money on a supplement that's vital and truly effective:

1.   Shelf stability: Take a product made using advanced Heat Stabilization Technology (HST) so that it does not require refrigeration. This way, you can be sure the friendly bacteria are still alive and thriving. Look for a formula that guarantees at least 10 billion colony forming units (CFU).

2.   Multiple bacterial strains: Just a single strain of bacteria won't cut it for broad-spectrum health benefits. Look for a supplement that provides these five bacterial strains, which have the most research backing their effectiveness: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus rhamnosus.^[6,7,8,9,10]

3.   Prebiotics: Research shows that when prebiotics are added to a probiotic supplement, they help good bacteria to adhere to the intestines and can significantly enhance the effectiveness of the probiotics.^[11]

4.   A reasonable price: Some people mistakenly believe if you pay more for a probiotic supplement you get better quality. My advice is to avoid paying more than $20 for a one month supply. There are many companies making bogus marketing claims and charging more than three times this.

 

The Best Probiotic Supplement on the Market

In addition to my work with the Live in the Now newsletter, I own a company called Stop Aging Now, which has been making premium-grade dietary supplements for over 15 years. Working with my Scientific Advisory Board, I created a convenient, effective and affordable probiotic formula called PurBiotic® that is simply superior to anything else out there, and it has become one of our bestselling products ever!

My goal in creating this formula was to offer a probiotic supplement of superior quality at an amazingly affordable price, so that no one has to suffer the consequences of suboptimal digestion.

I encourage you to shop around do your own research to make sure I'm not shamelessly promoting my own product. But here's why I am confident that PurBiotic is simply the best option out there when it comes to comprehensive support for your digestive health:

·         It's Powerful: PurBiotic provides a whopping 15 billion CFU (the equivalent of more than 10 cups of yogurt) of the five most extensively researched, potent bacterial strains. Just one small capsule a day is all you need!

·         It Stays Powerful: PurBiotic is shelf stable and requires no refrigeration because it is made with advanced Heat Stabilization Technology (HST) that guarantees its potency well beyond the time it's manufactured.

·         It's Enhanced with Prebiotics: PurBiotic includes NutraFlora® and Inulin, two types of proven prebiotics, which work synergistically with the probiotics to enhances their effectiveness by serving as "food" for the friendly bacteria.

·         It's Safe and Effective: PurBiotic is made with the utmost care in the USA in an FDA inspected facility to meet the stringent standards of US Pharmacopeia (USP) for quality, purity and potency

·         It's Affordable and Risk-Free: This amazing formula is available for as low as $12.49 per bottle for a one month supply, which is less than many discount, low quality brands. Plus it ships to you for free, is tax-free and comes with an "any reason" 365-day guarantee. That's right — take it for up to one year, and get a full refund if you don't like it.

Flu defense nutrition tips

Flu defense nutrition tips and product solutions

A lot of people are battling colds and flus this year, and for some reason the viral infections seem to be more severe than in years past. Because of that -- as well as the sudden rise of a new bird flu strain in China -- there's a lot of increased interest in immune system support right now. We've got three items at the Natural News store that can be very helpful in supporting healthy immune function:

 EnerHealth Immune Support Pack: A combination of six products, including Honey & Propolis Throat Spray, Lung Renewal Herbal Remedy and EchinOsha Herbal Remedy

 SurThrival Colostrum: "Immune milk" with 97 immune factors, ethically harvested and low-temperature processed
http://store.naturalnews.com/Colostrum-65oz-184g_p_309.html

 In addition, here are some commonsense tips on boosting immune function and preventing viral infections:

 1) Keep your vitamin D levels up. Vitamin D helps prevent many infections.

2) Boost your intake of zinc and other trace minerals. Zinc is especially important for preventing infections.

3) Be careful not to over-stress your immune system through extreme physical workouts or lack of sleep. Sleep loss causes nutrient depletion, making you more susceptible to infections.

4) Encourage the people around you to get healthy so that they don't become carriers of infectious disease. Importantly, getting vaccinated is not sufficient! Flu vaccines actually weaken your immune system and make you more susceptible to the flu.

5) Practice basic hygiene by washing your hands, especially after you've shaken hands with someone else or touched public surfaces such as hand rails.

If you do get sick, get plenty of rest, drink lots of water and support your immune function with appropriate foods, herbs and supplements.

 

Stay healthy!
