A cancer diagnosis shouldn't stop patients from exercising (if approved by their oncologist.) In fact, exercise can improve a patient's quality of life. Benefits of increased exercise during cancer treatment include less fatigue, stress and anxiety. Over multiple studies, it was shown there was a link between exercise and decreased cancer recurrence. Learn what types of exercise should be incorporated into a cancer survivor's fitness routine.

New guidelines for exercise in type 2 diabetesdrviral
New guidelines issued jointly by the American Diabetes Association and the American College of Sports Medicine stress the crucial role that physical activity plays in the management of type 2 diabetes.
A thorough look at intermittent fasting and calorie restriction as a benefit ...Dr. Courtney Holmberg, ND
Many health trends come and go, but one dietary trend that has seemed to endure the craze is intermittent fasting.
The primary reason intermittent fasting (IF) has remained so popular is because it offers flexibility to fit a busy schedule, and (while I don't typically advise mindlessly eat as long as your fasting) it doesn't ultimately demand restricted eating.
Leadership Workshop - 6 Steps for Healthy Living, Team Building & MindfulnessKusal Goonewardena
Presented by Kusal Goonewardena
APA Titled Sports Physiotherapist
Kusal covers the steps to healthy living - understanding pain, posture - the best life hack, the recipe for healthy activity.
In team building he covers the 15 minute daily huddle (staff engagement), meeting openers (sensing staff mood), monthly goals (achieving personal and team success by pushing outside the comfort zone) - No rocket science here - just simple strategies that can add impact through accountability and teamwork.
Finally he covers modern day mindfulness - principles learnt from elite athletes that can help us be and perform better.
We all want to lead a healthier lifestyle that provides a great quality of life rich with fun and happiness. Some of us use nutrition, others use exercise whereas some use meditation and various alternative methods.
The secret to health is using ALL of these methods and this slideshow shows you how to solve the puzzle of holistic health
Staying active after a mesothelioma diagnosis is not always easy. Between fighting off fatigue and managing treatment side effects, it can be difficult to juggle an exercise routine. Bad weather only adds to the problem. Thankfully, there are ways for cancer patients to remain active in colder or wetter months. This month, Dana, our licensed mental health counselor, shares a few bad-weather workouts and explains why it is so important for cancer survivors to stay active throughout treatment.

Secret to live 100 years get it today and see the difference
<<<https://www.digistore24.com/redir/347298/Kewan17>>>
Okinawa is an island located south of mainland Japan and is known as the site of the largest U.S. military amphibious operation during the Second World War. Today, it is better known as the source of the “Okinawa Diet” — a simple yet effective weight loss program. The Okinawa Diet is about eating plenty of plant-based food which include large quantities of tofu and locally grown vegetables. This eating plan also prescribes the consumption of different varieties of fish rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, seaweed, and other organic products that are high in protein, rich in calcium, and low in fat. In fact, it is not unusual to find Okinawans who are at least 100 years old. The island has been recognized as having the most number of centegenarians in the entire world. To this day, the incidence of heart disease, breast cancer, prostate cancer is still rare in the island.
The growing problem of being overweight and obese in the United States has made the Okinawan Diet very appealing. Many overweight individuals have tried taking a diet pill to minimize hunger pangs and , in the process, reduce food intake. Other weight loss diet pill formulas work by preventing the absorption of fat into the body, most of which come from fat-laden meats.
Since most Okinawans rarely eat meat, weight gain is hardly a problem. It is highly unusual to see overweight or bulging Okinawans. Most of them have retained the short but slim physical appearance of their ancient ancestors who were mostly hardy fisher folk and farmers. The key to the effectiveness of the Okinawan Diet is the philosophy that is best encapsulated in the phrase, “food as tonic, food as medicine.” Islanders have been strongly influenced by the food culture of China, Korea, and Mainland Japan — all which emphasized the medicinal and therapeutic value of certain food groups. In many Okinawan homes, the mother or the person who prepared the food usually serves the meal by saying, “Please eat this. This food is good for healing this or that illness. Eating is good for you.” After the meal, the people who ate the food would say, “Kusuinatan!” The word “kusuinatan” is an Okinawan term which means, “The food is good. My body feels good. Food is like medicine.”

Many cancer patients experience fatigue at before, during and after treatment. Studies show that 20-90% of cancer patients on active treatment experience symptoms of fatigue, and 20-80% of survivors report fatigue after finishing treatment.
Cancer-related fatigue can be unpredictable because a patient may feel energized one day but fatigued another without any change in activity or rest patterns.
You’ve heard the expression “Army Strong”? In fact, all the military branches need strong troops—and cardiovascular
(sometimes called aerobic) fitness is important for optimal military performance. Ruck marches, PT runs, combat
swimming, and diving all require especially strong, efficient heart and lung capacity.

Strength and resistance training exercise is one of the four types of exercise along with endurance, balance and flexibility. Ideally, all four types of exercise would be included in a healthy workout routine and AHA provides easy to follow guidelines for endurance and strength-training in its Recommendations for Physical Activity in Adults.
Mesothelioma is often treated with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy. While these options can help patients live longer, each therapy comes with a unique set of side effects that can hurt a patient’s quality of life. Learn about the pros and cons of each treatment option, eligibility and tips to minimize side effects with medication, diet and nutrition.

Remember: Always discuss dietary or medicinal changes with your medical team before beginning any of them.
More than 50 countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and all 28 countries of the European Union, have banned the use of asbestos. The United States is not one of them.
Over 75 different occupational groups have exposed workers to asbestos. Repeated asbestos exposure puts workers at risk of numerous cancers and serious pulmonary diseases, including mesothelioma and asbestosis.
Cancer is a topic no one wants to learn how to talk about. Mesothelioma is a new experience that can be challenging to navigate socially. Not only we affected by a cancer diagnosis, but so are our family and friends.
Research shows talking about it helps people adjust to the reality of a situation. By talking about it, our brains begin planning and problem-solving to better cope with the situation. We are better able to get our needs met if we communicate how we are feeling and what we need from our loved ones.
With that being said, it is important to remember that we don’t have to share everything with everyone all the time. It's our choice.
Clinical trials are changing the face of mesothelioma treatment. While researchers and physicians continue to search for a cure, patients can enroll in clinical trials in order to access the latest medical advances available for treating mesothelioma cancer.
Choosing to join a clinical trial is a very personal decision that patients must consider with their caregivers, family members and medical team. Learn more about the pros and cons of mesothelioma clinical trials and find out how to decide if a clinical trial is the right fit.
Many people think of anger as a negative emotion, but that's not the case. The reality is that most cancer patients feel anger at times: At diagnosis, when treatment is delayed and even after treatment finishes. Anger can actually be a helpful and motivating emotion if channeled properly.
Anger is a very normal and healthy emotion in life as well as when you or a loved one has mesothelioma. Actively engaging with the feeling and finding healthy ways to express it is key to good anger management.
A mesothelioma diagnosis can drastically change your life. Your days often become focused on appointments with doctors, chemotherapy sessions and routine testing. When you are no longer undergoing active treatment, it can be hard for you and your loved ones to adjust to this "new normal." Learn how to overcome the challenges of adjusting to life after mesothelioma cancer treatments.
Self-esteem is the value that we have of ourselves. It also includes how we perceive our value in the world and to others. Being diagnosed with a serious, chronic illness such as mesothelioma may lead to a decrease in self-esteem. Sadly, many people with chronic illnesses or disabilities feel “less than” others who may be healthy or able-bodied.
Our value in life is not tied to how much money we make, how many things we build, how clean our home is or how good our lawn looks. Our value is what we mean to others. Cancer does not change what we mean to others.
People vary in their ability and comfort in having conversations about health, illness and emotions that can accompany a cancer diagnosis. This can lead to communication challenges throughout a mesothelioma battle.
Mesothelioma patients and caregivers may notice that some relationships temporarily changed after a mesothelioma diagnosis. That's normal.
To overcome these changes and challenges, survivors should try to have frequent honest conversations about expectations, thoughts and feelings, so misunderstandings and frustrations don’t lead to more serious relationship problems.
When you or a loved one has mesothelioma, it can seem like there is so much to worry about. That's normal. It is a misconception that all worrying is distressful and unproductive. There are healthy levels of worrying that motivate us to do what we need to be happy, successful and healthy. When worrying becomes overwhelming and feels uncontrollable, then most people experience distress and feel anxious. Obviously, the challenge is to keep our level of worry at a range that motivates us, not give us anxiety.
After being diagnosed with an incurable disease such as mesothelioma cancer, it can be difficult to be hopeful. It's important to understand that with all the recent advancements in mesothelioma treatment, it is realistically hopeful to look forward to surviving longer and with a better quality of life.
Trying to balance caregiving responsibilities with everyday household chores, plus attending to the needs of other family members, can be overwhelming for caregivers. Sadly, this often results in them neglecting their own needs. Caregivers become increasingly more stressed and their own health suffers as a result, often causing a burnout.
Every mesothelioma survivor is different, which means each story is unique and provides a distinct insight into life with this type of cancer. There are many benefits to sharing your mesothelioma story, but it is also important to prepare for any reactions that may come from hearing your story.
Cancer patients experience a myriad of emotions before, during and after treatment. Emotional effects therapy, such as meditation, can help patients cope with their cancer in everyday life.
Living with a terminal disease is never easy, but when it is also a rare disease such as mesothelioma, it can be even more challenging as there are additional obstacles to overcome like finding reliable resources, connecting with a specialist and learning about the latest treatment options.
Many people wonder whether a cancer patient's attitude or personality type can impact their prognosis. In this SlideShare, Dana Nolan, a Mental Health Counselor, takes a closer look at how personality, attitude and cancer relate for our August 2016 support group session.
Learn what the American Institute for Cancer Research says about a diet that helps prevent cancer or ease symptoms of those diagnosed with the disease.
Some mesothelioma patients may require supportive health services, such as counseling, physical therapy or at-home nursing, after undergoing treatment.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

2. Recommendations to Exercise
American College of Sports Medicine in 2009
developed safe guidelines for physical activity
and exercise for cancer patients in active
treatment.
Years of research showed that physical
activity during cancer treatment improved
quality of life during and after treatment.
(877) 626-5916
3. Research Update 2018
Two large meta-analysis studies were published in
2017 that continue to uphold the importance of
exercise for patients during and after cancer
treatment.
Benefits of increased exercise during cancer
treatment include less fatigue, stress and anxiety.
Over multiple studies, it was shown there was a link
between exercise and decreased cancer recurrence.
(877) 626-5916
4. Components of Exercise Important
for Cancer Patients
Muscle Strength: Avoids atrophy and ability
to engage in activities of daily living
Flexibility: Reduces strains, sprains and
muscle tears
Cardiovascular Fitness: Maximizes blood
flow throughout the body and organs, It also
keeps heart optimally functioning
(877) 626-5916
5. How Does Cancer Treatment Affect
Physical Fitness and Energy?
Eating less because of nausea or GI upset
can lead to muscle wasting and fatigue due
to malnourishment.
Being more sedentary during treatment can
negatively affect flexibility, circulation and

7. What Type of Exercise Is
Best for Cancer Patients?
Incorporate cardio, resistance/strength
training and stretching.

rate up to a point where you can just
carry on a conversation without being
too out of breath.
Walking, jogging, swimming, bike riding,
yard work, gentle exercise classes

9. Stretching
It is important to gently stretch before and
after exercise to protect muscles and joints.
Many injuries occur because of inflexible
muscles and joints.
Gentle yoga and tai chi classes are helpful to
warm up and stretch muscles.

10. How Long and How Often Should
Cancer Patients Exercise?
Assess your current (or prediagnosis) fitness
level before you begin exercising.
The goal would be to exercise 5 days a week
at a moderate level for 30 minutes a day.
If you are very fit and active, then you may
need to listen to your body and reduce the
amount or intensity of your exercise routine
to reach 30 mins/day for 5 days/week.

11. How Long and How Often (cont.)?
If you have not regularly engaged in exercise,
then you may need to slowly work up to 30
minutes/day, by breaking it up into 5-10
minutes of walking or working out your
muscles several times a day.

12. Precautions During Cancer Treatment
Get approval from your oncologist and/or
surgeon before beginning exercise.
Monitor your heart rate, BP and breathing
rate as you may need to adjust your normal
exercise routine if your vital signs elevate
more easily when exercising while undergoing
cancer treatment.

13. Precautions (cont.)
Exercise with a partner for safety. Go for a
walk with a friend in case you get winded and
need to stop when you are far from home.
If your immune system is compromised due to
an infection or chemotherapy treatment,
avoid gyms or public pools where you risk
viral or bacterial infections.

14. Precautions (cont.)
If you are anemic, neutropenic or have low
platelets, exercise should be avoided or scaled
back according to oncologist recommendations.
Listen to your body. There will be some days
during treatment that you can’t (and shouldn’t)
try to exercise due to treatment effects, but it is
important to try and exercise once you get
through those bad days of your treatment cycle.

15. Benefits to YOU
Getting out of the house to go for a walk feels
normal and reminds us that we can still do
some activities even though we have
mesothelioma.
Whatever exercise you are able to do is
psychologically and physically helpful to you.
Try not to compare what you are able to do
now with what you were able to do before
you were diagnosed.

16. Benefits (cont.)
Research has shown that patients who try to
maintain a moderate exercise program during
their treatment report less treatment side
effects and an improved quality of life.
