The AIDS Infection Rate In Africa Declines Sharply


Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa are leading a global decline in new HIV infections, the UN has said.
UNAids said 22 countries in the world's worst affected region had seen a drop in new cases of more than 25%.
The fall was because of greater awareness and better use of preventative measures, it said.
But UNAids also noted that cases of HIV were increasing in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and among gay men in developed countries.
Michel Sidibe, UNAids executive director, said the world was making "real progress" towards achieving the sixth Millennium Development Goal (MDG6) of halting and reversing the spread of HIV/Aids by 2015.
"For the first time change is happening at the heart of the epidemic. In places where HIV was stealing away dreams, we now have hope," he said.
UNAids says there are now 5.2 million people worldwide receiving treatment for HIV/Aids, which has helped to ensure that 200,000 fewer people died from the virus in 2008 than in 2004.
The agency said young people "are leading the prevention revolution by choosing to have sex later, having fewer multiple partners and using condoms, resulting in significantly fewer new HIV infections in many countries highly affected by Aids".
The use of male condoms has also doubled in the past five years, while the report notes that "tradition is giving space to pragmatism" in many communities as they embrace male circumcision, which research shows has the potential to reduce HIV infections among men by nearly 60%.
'Challenges remain'
China, where cases are largely concentrated within high-risk groups, was praised for its efforts to increase preventative measures for drug users.
UNAids said South Africa had also rapidly increased "efforts to achieve universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support".
But there was a warning that "challenges remain" in the global fight against HIV/Aids, including expanding epidemics in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and resurgence in new infections in wealthier nations among men who have sex with men.
The UN also called for greater investment in HIV/Aids prevention, warning that there was a $10bn (£6.4bn) shortfall in 2009.
It said those countries most severely affected by HIV/Aids could not handle the crisis with their own resources alone.
"At this turning point flat-lining or reductions in investments will set-back the Aids response and threaten the world's ability to reach MDG 6," said Mr Sidibe.
"Investing for Aids is a shared responsibility - between development partners and national governments."

(Q & A ) Exercise first or Eat first ?




What do you think? should we have a sport/ outdoor activity first or eat first? Maybe most of us before we play sport, we eat first, so what's the impact if we sport or eat first?



The scientist said that we must do sport first, but it doesn't mean that we can't eat before we have a sport, because the food that we eat before we sport will become an energy







http://madsenblog.dk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/worst-sport-environment-soccer.jpg





Q : Why after eating we cant go directly do a sport ?

A : It's because after someone consumed heavy food, automatically blood will flow to the stomach part. In the meantime in the stomach the absorption of nutrition from food that has been consumed was happening. The body was also throwing leftovers to the certain body part away and distributed oxygen all through the body. 


Q : So, How long is the time from we finish eating until we can do a sport?

A : Usually, we need about 30 minutes up to 2 hours until we can do a sport.But if we consumed heavier food then time to waited for sport will be longer. However if only consume the low fat snack/biscuit, we did not need a long time to play sport. 


Q : Hmm... so, what kind of food that we can consumed before we playing sport?

A : It depends. If playing sport in the morning we could consume, juice or the pure water that was enough. If playing sport in the middle of the morning we could have a  high carbohydrate breakfast then has been enough to give energy. But if sport before the lunch we just eat snack and for sport in the afternoon we could consume yogurt or the biscuit.


So, now you know right what we got to do first. This is just a general tutorials for those that have a problem in digestion system or health.

Count Your PAL ( Physical Activity Level ) Here !!




If you think that quiet or not doing anything don't need any energy, YOU WRONG!

When we sleep the functions of our body will always work, like a respiratory system, circulatory system, etc.

Despite we're sleeping we will always need energy for our body...







BASIC NEEDS ( Kcal/day )


Basic needs is energy that we need for our body to carry out its function when we're FULLY REST or SLEEPING.

And... of course basic needs for everyone are different depends on their age, sex, weight even the temperature.

The temperature will affect the work of our body about 5 %.



 Simple Formula  to count your basic needs

  •  Male :  Basic Needs = Your Weight * 24 * 1.0

  •  Female : Basic Needs = Your Weight * 24 * 0.9

 Q : Why women needs less energy than a men ?



 A :  It's because women have adipose tissue that more than the men . Adipose tissue consume less energy than a muscle tissue, or in other words a man will eat more food than a women despite they have the same weight.



Tired of counting your PAL score ??

Click Here to download easy calculator made by me  : P


Capital Capacity ( Kcal/day )
Capital capacity is the energy that we need to do all the ACTIVITIES in 1 day. It depends on what we're doing, what's our job, more harder the job you do more energy/calorie you need. Beside that, digestion system or pregnancy period will affect too.



To count the capital capacity, then the experts have done an experiment.

The experiment was carried out with measuring the respiratory gas when someone do the activity so that they can know how much energy that she need . Look at the pic below





These activity is divided into 6 parts that we called it PAL (Physical Activity Level) factor



PAL (physical activity level) Factor



-PAL 0,5

for sleeping activity







-PAL 1,2

For people that just could only sit or lie ( the old person >65years , sick person )







-PAL 1,4 - 1,5

for the activity that not so hard such as : office worker, shop asst.,









-PAL 1,6 - 1,7

for activities that sometimes need to sit sometimes need to stand such as driver, student, teacher









-PAL 1,8 - 1,9

for activities that mostly need to stand/walk such as housework, police, etc







-PAL 2,0 - 2,4

for activities that need more energy such as athlete,construction worker, etc













Total Energy for 1 day




Total Energy =  PAL average * Basic Needs
PAL Average= Total PAL score in 1 day / 24


Example :



Sex = Female

Weight = 60 kg

Job = Office Worker

---> Basic Needs = 60 x 24 x 0,9

= 1296kcal



Activities (24 h) PAL factor

8 work time 8 x 1, 5 = 12

4 housework time 4 x 1,9 = 7,6

4 free time 4 x 1,4 = 5,6

( reading book, watching TV )

8 sleep time 8 x 0,95 = 7,6

------------------------------------------------------------

Total 24 h , Total PAL = 32,8



----> PAL Avg. = 32,8/24 =1,36 !!

----> Total Energy for 1 day (24 h)

= 1,36 x 1296 kcal = 1762,56 kcal!!





SO, you need approx. 1762,56 kcal a day to do all the activities in 1 day and it is same with 429,9 grams protein   or  189,9 grams fat .



If you consume food more than the value above you might get obese like this kid : P

 





P.S 


I've made a simple calculator to count all : the PAL score, basic needs, total energy, etc.
You can download this easy calculator HERE

Health:Video Games aren't bad for children

A new report by the European Parliament Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection says that video games may be good for children, promoting cooperation and creativity.

The report, which found a number of benefits and no definitive link to aggressive behavior, counters the violent reputation of some titles, and may help reassure nervous parents of game addicts.

"Video games are in most cases not dangerous and can even contribute to the development of important skills," Toine Manders, the Dutch liberal lawmaker who authored the report, told Reuters.

"(They stimulate) learning of facts and skills such as strategic reflection, creativity, cooperation and a sense of innovation," said a news release about the findings.Rather than issuing a call for new legislation banning certain games, the report instead urged EU states to collaborate in strengthening the current voluntary code known as "PEGI", which rates games according to their content.

Last year, total revenues from the video gaming industry were more than seven billion euros ($9 billion), the report said. In Britain, video games outsold music and other video products for the first time last year, according to a separate study.

However, the EU report said that not all games are appropriate for children, and noted that some books and movies are targeted solely to an older audience. It also conceded that some games that contain violent content could "stimulate" aggressive behavior in certain situations.

The report emphasized parental involvement, and proposed the development of a "red button" to allow parental control of game content and the duration of play. However, the report did not provide specific details about what form such a button might take.

The report questioned prevailing wisdom that games were targeted mainly towards children, citing data that showed the European video game player is 33 years of age.

Health:Control Your Cholesterol In Natural Ways

High cholesterol levels can greatly increase the risk of heart disease including potentially fatal heart attacks. Heart disease can be caused by a number of factors but lowering cholesterol can have many positive effects and reduce risk. High cholesterol causes hardening of the arteries. Blood flow is then reduced to the heart which may result in chest pains or a heart attack. Lowering the possible causes of hardening or blocking the arteries will help maintain a healthy heart.



For severely high cholesterol it is recommended to seek consultation with a physician for the best course of treatment. Traditionally, this is treated with prescription medication. However, the majority of people can lower cholesterol naturally without the use of prescription drugs. Natural remedies are abundantly available. With a few changes in eating habits and lifestyle, one can easily lower cholesterol.

Eating foods that are low in fat will help as well as avoiding those with high fat content, especially foods containing trans-fat. Spreads such as butter and margarine have high levels of trans-fat. Packaged foods and frozen foods generally contain high levels also. Potato chips, crackers, baked goods and fast foods are all types to avoid. Instead concentrate on foods that are low in fat and high in fiber. Foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, and garlic are great to use in your daily diet.



Lifestyle changes are important if you are not leading a fairly healthy life. Smoking can increase the chances of having high cholesterol. Quitting not only will help this but will also reduce several other medical risks. Regular exercise will help promote a healthy heart. Partake in some form of aerobic exercise several times each week.



Vitamin E may help reduce fatty formations on arteries. Artichoke leaf extract helps produce bile while assisting in eliminating cholesterol from the body. Chromium is a proven method of maintaining correct blood sugar levels, which will help control cholesterol. Niacin in high doses has shown benefits for reducing cholesterol. However, if taking other medications, consult a physician as niacin can react adversely to other medications.



High cholesterol is a condition that affects many people throughout the world. It can increase chances of heart disease and potentially shorten life. Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, eating healthy and exercising can reduce these risks significantly. Adding supplements can also help reduce cholesterol levels. Although the risks of high cholesterol are serious, it is easily controlled.

Health: Exercise regularly and say GoodBye to your Cancer

The new research reveals the fact that regular exercise can aid the sufferers fight against the cancer. A 30 minutes walk everyday, 5 times a week can stop cancer, lessen the process of the disease, boost recovery and stop its return.

The level of Insulin is cut through exercise, a hormone that causes most of the body's cells to take up glucose from the blood and generates faster cell growth, enhancing women’s risk of breast cancer and recurrence of the disease.This new research says that women who do not have any records of a breast cancer can really reduce their risk of having it by doing exercise, said Dr. Susan K. Boolbol, a breast surgeon at Beth Israel Medical Center.

Besides, exercise also burns fat and also cuts blood levels of estrogen and testosterone, two sex hormones produced in both men and women that have been associated with uterine lining, prostate and breast cancers. The burning of fats saves additional amounts of estrogen and thus by decreasing fatness, it reduces the risk of a series of cancers. Many doctors now are recommending most of their patients to do regular exercise in order to keep their health better or as part of a therapy to reduce cancer or risks involving it.

Success: 14 year old girl "D’Zhana Simmons" lived 4 months without a Heart

An emotional D'Zhana Simmons cries after thanking her doctors at a press conferrence in Miami.

What would someone call it?--a miracle or a gift from "The Almighty"? Well whatever you say, it's true that D’Zhana Simmons, a 14 year old teenager from South Carolina have successfully survived for 118 days with no heart beating after having had two transplants and stayed alive with man-made heart pumps, but no heart, for four months between the transplants.

This is the first time ever someone at so young age has been kept alive without a heart for this length of time. When she was questioned about how she felt living without a heart, the girl's answer was like this, "It was like I was a fake person, like I didn't really exist. I was just here.But I knew that I really was here, and I did live without a heart".The girl was suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy, a condition in which the heart becomes weakened and enlarged and does not pump blood efficiently.

She had her first heart transplant on
July 2 at Miami's Holtz Children's Hospital but the new organ failed to work accurately and was promptly removed and from there her race against the time started.In place of a real heart, substitute heart chambers were implanted and connected to two pumps tailor made by a Californian company which kept her blood flowing as she fought a host of serious complications including kidney and liver failure, gastrointestinal bleeding and breathing problems. Finally she built up enough strength to enable doctors to implant another heart on October 29.

Although this sort of treatments are mostly given to adults to keep them alive but D'Zhana is the first child to receive it as it was a life-threatening situation for her."I truly believe it's a miracle," said D'Zhana's mother, Twolla Anderson. The doctors said things are getting better after the second transplant, as she will be able to do most thing teenagers do, like going to school or going out.Her prognosis is good, although there is a 50 per cent chance she will need another transplant before she turns 30.

Success: 14 year old girl "D’Zhana Simmons" lived 4 months without a Heart

An emotional D'Zhana Simmons cries after thanking her doctors at a press conferrence in Miami.

What would someone call it?--a miracle or a gift from "The Almighty"? Well whatever you say, it's true that D’Zhana Simmons, a 14 year old teenager from South Carolina have successfully survived for 118 days with no heart beating after having had two transplants and stayed alive with man-made heart pumps, but no heart, for four months between the transplants.

This is the first time ever someone at so young age has been kept alive without a heart for this length of time. When she was questioned about how she felt living without a heart, the girl's answer was like this, "It was like I was a fake person, like I didn't really exist. I was just here.But I knew that I really was here, and I did live without a heart".The girl was suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy, a condition in which the heart becomes weakened and enlarged and does not pump blood efficiently.

She had her first heart transplant on
July 2 at Miami's Holtz Children's Hospital but the new organ failed to work accurately and was promptly removed and from there her race against the time started.In place of a real heart, substitute heart chambers were implanted and connected to two pumps tailor made by a Californian company which kept her blood flowing as she fought a host of serious complications including kidney and liver failure, gastrointestinal bleeding and breathing problems. Finally she built up enough strength to enable doctors to implant another heart on October 29.

Although this sort of treatments are mostly given to adults to keep them alive but D'Zhana is the first child to receive it as it was a life-threatening situation for her."I truly believe it's a miracle," said D'Zhana's mother, Twolla Anderson. The doctors said things are getting better after the second transplant, as she will be able to do most thing teenagers do, like going to school or going out.Her prognosis is good, although there is a 50 per cent chance she will need another transplant before she turns 30. She was released from hospital on Wednesday.

We all wish this child the very best of luck and hope she lives long and fine and overcomes every obstacles on her way of life.It's once again proved that everything is in the hands of the Supreme Almighty.May the Almighty Bless everybody.

Health: Premature death risk involves your Waist Size

Everyone today is very careful about their weight and waist size,and why not, if there are lots of risk factors involved?A recent study has shown that the size of your waist can foretell your risk of suffering from early death.

This new study was based on 350,000 patients to see if their waist size have any links to premature death risk,and it was very surprising to see that it really was because the researchers found a direct link between early death risk and a person's waist size.Those who were at a higher risk were mainly men having a waist size of more than 47 inches and women having a size of more than 39 inches.People who fell into these groups had double the risk of early death compared to who aren't fat.And this is not the only thing to think of as it also increases heart attack, stroke, diabetes, cancer etc.Therefore the experts have urged the doctors to pay more attention to the waist size of patients.

So watch out and get serious now and do think about your waist size today because if you dont, then you're surely awaiting something very bad.Eat good--Be safe.
