Lifestyle And Breast Cancer

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Although all of the genetic and environmental factors are important to consider, the overwhelming evidence is that breast cancer is related to lifestyle.  The following paragraphs outline the negative impact and positive impact on breast cancer of several common lifestyle related issues.

 

Post-menopausal Obesity Increases Risk:  Despite the evidence on the protective effect of pre-menopausal obesity on pre-menopausal breast cancer, the evidence that obesity increases the risk of post-menopausal breast cancer is very clear and not debatable.  Some have suggested that tumors are harder to find by physical exam and mammography in obese women.  This theory has largely been disproved in studies looking at mammography sensitivity and specificity, as well as studies looking at breast exam diagnosis in obese patients.  If the correlation between obesity and cancer mortality is entirely causal, some scientists even estimate that an overweight condition and/or obesity now may account for one in seven of cancer deaths in men and one in five in women in the US.

 

High Fat Diet and Breast Cancer:  Although breast cancer publications and the media have promulgated the idea that a low fat diet reduces cancer risk, most clinical trials have not successfully demonstrated this direct beneficial effect.  There have been several methodological explanations for this failure.  However, the reverse observation that a high fat diet increases breast cancer risk remains solid.  For example, a large study funded by the National Institute of Health looked at 188,736 postmenopausal women and fat intake, based on both “food frequency questionnaires” and “24-hour dietary recall questionnaires”.  With the food frequency questionnaires, researchers found that women who got 40% of their calories from fat had about a 15% increased risk of developing breast cancer compared with women who got 20% of their calories from fat.  With the “24-hour dietary recall questionaire”, they found a 32% increased risk of breast cancer among women with a high level of fat in their diet.

 

Alcohol:  Based on scientific evidence, exposure to alcohol is associated with increased breast cancer risk in a dose-dependent fashion.  Even less than one drink/day on a daily basis can be associated with up to a 30% increase in breast cancer mortality among postmenopausal women compared to non-drinkers.  The risk may increase by 7% for each drink per day.  Studies have shown that stopping alcohol use may reverse this risk.

 

Exercise:  Exercise has been consistently linked with reduced breast cancer risk.  A regimen of approximately 30 minutes per day of moderate-intensity exercise should be adequate, and perhaps even one to two hours per week is enough to be helpful.  It appears that longer duration and greater intensity of activity may bring even more health benefits.

 

Supplements:  Americans spend billions of dollars on vitamins and mineral supplements.  Recent large studies, however, have demonstrated that these pills and capsules do not decrease the risk of many types of cancer.  One explanation is that as long as one is not deficient of any particular vitamin or mineral, ingestion of super-normal levels of supplements does not help.  Many women have low levels of vitamin D, and some data have shown that increasing its level (whether in a pill or by sun exposure) can protect somewhat against future breast cancer.  In our opinion, botanical dietary supplements derived from green tea extracts represent a potentially widely available method for reducing the risk of breast cancer.  Next to water, tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world, and its ingestion in reasonable doses is considered safe.  Many population observation reports have shown that green tea may decrease the risk of breast cancer. 

Get the Women and the Lifestyle You Want Now

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

It doesn’t matter if you’re short.

It doesn’t matter if you’re “ugly.”

It doesn’t even matter if you’re broke!

You can, in fact, get the things you deserve. And if you want to get the woman of your dreams, you can easily do that, too.

How? By following the principles of “Deserving What You Want.”  This is a practical, intelligent guide to success with women from one of the most likable guys you’ll ever come across, XY Communications’ Scott McKay.

Scot, who I know quite well, isn’t just another Internet money-grubber. In fact, he’s a genuinely honest, incredible guy who, if anything, gives away a lot of things for free! He genuinely wants to help people, and in doing that, he likes to empower them with the concept of getting the things you deserve.

What his very affordable and effective Deserve What You Want e-book shows you are the foundations, and the actions, for getting the women, riches, and power you always craved.

According to McKay, it all starts with a bit of knowledge:

* Do you know what women are really, truly like?
* Do you understand women enough to recognize a great one when you meet her?
* And do you know what turns them on and what turns them off?

If you don’t, you’re not going to deserve the women you desire. But if you empower yourself with an attitude and a knowledge of complete self-respect and understanding, then BELIEVE YOU ME, nothing will stop you.

Scot is proof!

What McKay teaches you is downright revolutionary. He shows that guys who have choices with women are all about QUALITY over QUANTITY. These guys aren’t necessarily good looking or tall. They just have the attitude that they are the prize. Women notice it, and they want to be a part of it. Looks, money, and height just don’t matter when you believe in yourself, and have others believing in you, too.

In short, you have to BELIEVE you are the prize, to get the prize! And whether that prize is fame, fortune, or beautiful women, Scot McKay shows you how to get it.

So start deserving what you want, and getting what you want, to boot! Trust me, you won’t regret it.

Target Women by Lifestyle, Not Gender

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Women are the influencers for many purchasing decisions for products and services, so it makes sense that many companies direct their marketing dollars largely on the women’s market. But that’s where the simplicity ends. The women’s marketplace is quite broad, made up of various sub-segments, each with different attitudes and behaviors.

The LOHAS market is one example. LOHAS is the acronym for consumers who “live a life of health and sustainability.” Sixty-percent of people within the LOHAS marketplace are women, according to an in-depth study, The Ohio Health and Wellness Report, conducted by The Marketing Insider, my company. According to the study, women make up slightly less – 54 percent – of the LOHAS market in Ohio. The August 2005 study surveyed 1100 participants in the Ohio market. In all, LOHAS consumers are estimated to account for one-third of the U.S. population.

LOHAS consumers are highly educated and driven by balancing their needs to better the environment, society and personal health. The Ohio Health and Wellness Report also indicated LOHAS consumers are challenged to eat right because they have very high dietary standards, yet health is a very high priority to them.

Indeed, eighty-five percent surveyed indicated they care strongly about protecting the environment and will support companies who have similar values and beliefs. To this consumer, the company and the brand are inseparable.

Though consumers within the general population may support some of these beliefs, targeting LOHAS consumers is quite different from targeting the general population. Although LOHAS consumers, especially Ohioans, distrusted television, they are influenced by what they see on TV when it comes to purchasing.

Perhaps, it is a better indication of an under-developed marketplace with under-developed attitudes. According to our research, Ohio’s LOHAS consumers total twenty-eight percent of the population, versus twenty-three percent on a national scale (according to the 2005 national survey), yet LOHAS consumers within the Ohio marketplace have attitudes that are less developed than the rest of the nation. Often this is a result of lack of information and education. With Ohio’s introduction to companies such as Whole Foods, this should improve. It’s no surprise that Whole Foods built one of their largest stores in the Ohio market. This merchant did its research and has been quite successful in a new market, in a short time.

I often wonder, why aren’t other consumer-based companies that target consumers jumping on the bandwagon? I’ve often found it’s because companies didn’t realize that this consumer segment, predominantly women, exist and that women in this group should be targeted differently from those in the mass market.

Now that we know targeting women as one consumer group can be challenging, what should we do about it? If you’re targeting LOHAS consumers or are interested in targeting them, it’s important to realize that the Nomadics™ group is actually predicted to transition into the LOHAS category. Nomadics are people who may dip into LOHAS-oriented behavior, yet not lead a fully integrated lifestyle. So, if you have a product that is natural and better for the environment, then you must consider the attitudes and purchasing behaviors of both the LOHAS and the Nomadic markets-a combined 65% of the overall population. Even if you are a printer, it behooves you to mention if you’re using recycled paper or soy-based inks. Why? Because people in general are getting more concerned about the environment and wanting to do what they can to help protect it. By doing your part and promoting it, you’ll have the opportunity to further tap into a growing, predominently female marketplace that is made up of business people too.

So remember, the next time you decide to market to women that not all women are the same and that they must be targeted differently. Understand their lifestyle and you’ll have a better opportunity to capture their dollars.

It is a perfect lady-like small bag where women’s essentials such as make up and other cosmetic products can be placed to make them stay fresh and look beautiful all day long. Most women use this style of handbag whenever they have to go to an evening gathering and other formal occasions.

3. Satchel

A handbag that has one, sometimes two, large straps that goes over one shoulder and across the body. This type of handbag is best appropriate in most women who are working in an office. They have to use this handbag because they need to carry their important files whenever they have a meeting or if they need to bring their paper works in their home. It is also often used by most students to help them carry their books and other school stuffs. Using satchel does not only help women to hold their bulky files and things in a more convenient way but also enhance their fashion outlook.

4. Duffel

This handbag is probably the best choice for travel. It has big capacity and extra compartments that enable women to accommodate several things necessary for their trips.

Understanding Musics and Musicians From Canada

Friday, February 27th, 2009

Sadly, ignorant majority among us here in the east United States with happiness of the interpreters who put the ‘hail of T of one of the 50 states. Ask to the average Joe on the street if they know Canadian musicians, and if you obtain any answer, you will hear Celine Dion or Shania Twain, perhaps even Bryan Adams or Neil Young. While they are certainly the gifted musicians of their own boss, they certainly do not represent the width and the depth of the Canadian scene of music. Part of ignorance is due to the cultural similarities between ourselves and our neighbors of north.

The punk noise/feeling Avril Lavigne is so popular with the tweener regulated here in the United States with precision because it resembles and resounds with it could have taken a step with far from any campus of college in average America. But except superstars such as Alanis Morrisette and precipitation which exceeded all the national borders and become the truly international and Canadian musicians have abundance to offer the world in terms of enthralling and fresh music. I would like to offer some suggestions in various categories, and perhaps with occasional, you listen will discover as I made that the white far North has to offer more that some tasty brews.

Rock/noise/Hip-Hop

Where any serious discussion of contemporary Canadian rock would be without including Nickelback, at the origin out of Hanna, Alberta, but now based in Vancouver. With the crash strikes like photography and how you point out to me, him ’s hard to provide a Canadian group more successful during the last years. Ontario based the device trembler is an act with a future which starts to show the great promise. Their first, integral of release jet your good on side , is programmed to be released this year (2006).

The device trembler points out a version moins-bluesy to me carrion crows , however, the inflection of the brooks of Daniel of singer is like nothing so much like last version day Canadian singer similar Tom Cochrane. Nelly Furtado continues to impress with its last effort, coward . As usual for Furtado, it continues to explore the new base with it songwriting and looks at to continue to make so much well in the future. Vancouver based Jakalope is an interesting act which does not classify by category, resembling alternatively anything of sensational pumpkins with Evanesence with a meth with a ‘ED to the top of Madonna, they never fail to be interesting.

In the world of hip-hop, no Canadian group seems as carried in balance for the superstardom as a dead statute of celebrity. Their first album, music of blood struck the streets with great reviews. At the origin formed like duet, Wyze project, in 1988, they have since addition astounded mix-Master DJ and shared a stage with Ozzy Osbourne and public enemy. Their impressive executions gave them the juice to add aspects by Dave Navarro, Joss Stone and BIF naked with their recordings.

I did not mention the shows of test of accident, one of the more promising bands of Winnipeg, not had with uncertainty about their future statute. They were enormously influential approximately mid-1990 ’s with their last release in 2004. It is unhappy that the artistic differences apparent took their toll on the shows.

Country/people

The Canadian singers made with enormous steps in the country music above the end several years and Kathleen expressed sinks Edwards is not any exception. Its 2005 releases again with me gained its acclamation of criticism in the United States, appearing on the exposures of David Letterman and Jay Leno and opening for Bob Dylan and Rolling Stones. No less interesting, however definitely the alternate, the drug addicts of cowboy made a career of the country music of rotation on its head. Interpretations choking of Patsy Cline ’s walk after midnight on their disc 1998 session of trinity to the folkie two blue soldiers of 2005 ’s early of 21st century , which is eerily r?miniscent of the 1970 ‘anthems of protest of S of Dylan and Lennon.

Ontario multiplied painful angels is certainly one of the acts of the countries most interesting to come length these last years. The new mixture beats, along the lines of country-jump of the noises of Keith Urban and chicks of Dixie, with the vibrating noises of at the beginning of 1970 ‘country music of S. Malheureusement, their once the promising career seems to have fixed with the entry of the singer Charlie Angus in the political arena – having been elected at the Parliament in 2004. It is hoped it that once Mr. Angus served his limit that it will return to make the music again, however, currently which it perspective dubious residence. One cannot also forget irrepressible Lang of k.d., to refer however to it because purely an act of country would sell its shorts. Lang ’s amazing of the vocal talents were used on all the contemporary country to the songs of torch to jump the standards and the back still. Its versatility and vocal range are legendary and the enumeration of the Canadian musicians would be complete without it.
