Find Out if Neurological Disease is Brewing in Your Body BEFORE it Affects You




22 Sivan 5768

The medical world in Israel is filled with innovation by people thinking "out of the box." Read on to learn about a dynamic foursome of women working together to identify neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS and Alzheimer's Disease well in advance of when they begin to affect people.

Within the next four years, a simple blood test designed by those ladies may soon alert doctors and their patients to the need for preventative neurological care. See
NEUROQUEST, and stay tuned to future developments.


By the way, if you're willing and able to fund the research of this
NEUROQUEST effort, you can find out how to contact the group by watching the video and reading the article hotlinked above.


Think that's a great tip for today's blogpost? There are a whole lot more of that quality in my highly acclaimed book "It's My Crisis! And I'll Cry if I Need To: A Life Book that Helps You to Dry Your Tears and to Cope with a Medical Challenge."

Slim = Smart in More Ways Than One

The "Battle of The Bulge(s)" has more at stake that you suspected, according to the May 2008 edition of Obesity Reviews.

The International Association for the Study of Obesity quotes some researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health who indicate that "Obesity may increase adults' risk for having dementia."

The announcement was based on 20 years' worth of published obesity and dementia prospective follow-up studies. They show a consistent relationship between the two diseases. I capitalized major points in the following quotes:


"Our analysis of the data shows a CLEAR ASSOCIATION BETWEEN OBESITY AND an INCREASED RISK FOR DEMENTIA and several clinical subtypes of the disease," said Youfa Wang, MD, PhD, senior author of the study and associate professor with the Bloomberg School's Center for Human Nutrition. "Subjects with a healthy body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference saw a decreased risk for dementia than their counterparts with an elevated BMI or waist circumference."

Wang adds, "PREVENTING OR TREATING OBESITY at a younger age COULD PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN REDUCING THE NUMBER OF DEMENTIA PATIENTS AND those with other COMMONLY ASSOCIATED ILLNESSES SUCH AS ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE by up to 20 percent in the United States."



In other medical news, it's a proven fact that women with excess weight in their midsections are more likely to die of heart disease or cancer than thinner women. See Abdominal Fat for details.

SAVE YOUR LIVES WITH A SPOON AND A FORK.
The good news, ladies and gentlemen, is that heart disease statistics are going down with increased international interest in exercise and healthful lifestyles. Seek out a diet plan you can handle and lighten up your load. It'll make eveyone you love happier, including YOU!

Trust me, your self-esteem (and your intelligence) will rise with your reduced weight.
