Good nutrition for women starts with a well-rounded diet consisting of whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy fats, and lean sources of protein. In addition, women have specific vitamin and mineral requirements throughout their lifespan to promote good health. This program will cover establishing good nutrition habits that will provide women with plenty of energy and the means for lifelong weight control.
Healthy food is food considered to be beneficial to health in ways that go beyond a normal healthy diet required for human nutrition. Because there is no precise, authoritative definition from regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, different dietary practices can be considered healthy depending on context.
Foods considered "healthy" may be natural foods, organic foods, whole foods, and sometimes dietary supplements. Such products are sold in health food stores or in the health/organic sections of supermarkets.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Spring: Kill the Sugar Cravings
1. KILL THE SUGAR CRAVINGS
PRESENTED BY JEANINE TOES
Novo Wellness for Life
2. WELCOME!
• My name is Jeanine Toes. I am a Board Certified
Holistic Health Coach. I am here to help you get
empowered to make healthier food choices and take
action to ditch the sugar cravings
for good.
• I am the proud owner of
Novo Wellness for Life.
3. LET’S TALK ABOUT SUGAR!
Most people do not realize just how much sugar they are
consuming daily, as it is hidden in many processed foods.
Sugar is a toxin. Too much glucose in the blood leads to digestive
issues, blood sugar imbalances, fatigue, and even diabetes.
Do you know just how much sugar that yummy
Starbucks drink contains?
ü A grande Caramel Brulee Latte has 52 grams of sugar and a
whopping 430 calories.
ü The frappuccino version contains 63 grams of sugar and 410
calories.
ü A venti contains 82 grams of sugar and 510 calories.
4. SUGAR IS EVERYWHERE
While sugar gives you a quick fix, it has a negative
impact on your health in the long term.
Ditching the sugar fix is not just about will. We will
cover the emotional as well as the physical
components of ditching the sugar blues.
ü Dealing with the sugar addiction
ü Nutrient deficiency and sugar cravings
ü How to handle stress
ü Self love, a.k.a. nourishing the soul
5. 8 X M O R E A D D I C T I V E T H A N C O C A I N E
STOP THE SUGAR MADNESS!
6. THE SUGAR EPIDEMIC
Dr Mercola shares some interesting FACTS about
sugar consumption:
ü In 1700, the average person consumed about 4 pounds of
sugar per year.
ü In 1800, the average person consumed about 18 pounds of
sugar per year.
ü In 1900, individual consumption had risen to 90 pounds of
sugar per year.
ü In 2009, more than 50 percent of all Americans consume one-
half pound of sugar PER DAY—translating to a whopping 180
pounds of sugar per year!
7. WHAT IS A SUGAR CRAVING?
ü Sugar occurs naturally in all foods and when in its
most natural state contains vitamins and minerals. A
great example of a sugar in its natural state is honey.
ü But refined sugar depletes the body of its own
minerals and enzymes and creates an acidic
environment leading to digestive distress, headaches,
mucous in the body, and allergies.
ü When we consume refined sugar, it has a negative
impact on the blood sugar, which leads to depression,
fatigue, and poor sleep, and it can lead to many
serious health conditions.
8. THE BREAKDOWN OF CARBS
Remember, all carbohydrates contain sugar but they
are processed differently.
ü A SIMPLE carbohydrate contains highly processed
and refined sugars with few vitamins and minerals –
these are short chains of sugar that enter the
bloodstream and cause a rapid increase in blood
sugar, a.k.a. the SUGAR RUSH.
ü The RUSH is followed shortly after by a CRASH. The
body works hard to burn up this quick fuel, then the
blood sugar drops abruptly.
9. ASK THE EXPERTS – CHRIS KRESSER
“Sugar feeds cancer cells and has been connected
with the development of cancer of the breast, ovaries,
prostate, rectum, pancreas, lung, gallbladder, and
stomach.”
Sugar can cause many problems with the
gastrointestinal tract, including an acidic digestive
tract, indigestion, malabsorption in patients with
functional bowel disease, increased risk of Crohn’s
disease, and ulcerative colitis.
10. SUGAR IS NOT YOUR FRIEND
In addition to increasing the risk of cancer and
gastrointestinal problems, sugar can also:
ü Cause reactive hypoglycemia
ü Interfere with your absorption of protein
ü Cause food allergies
ü Hamper weight-loss
ü Feed inflammation in the cells, suppressing immunity
ü Increase cholesterol
ü Accelerate the aging process
ü Increase anxiety and makes you moody
ü Complicate ADD, ADHD, and spectrum-related issues
ü Weaken eyesight
11. HIDDEN SUGARS
Be a sugar detective.
Read labels.
Look for hidden sugars
that are derived from
sucrose.
{HINT: You will see the
words ending with –
OSE.}
12. WHAT IS A HEALTHY SUGAR?
Healthy Sugars
1. Honey (raw)
2. Agave
3. Coconut crystals
4. Stevia
5. Brown rice syrup
6. Xylitol
13. HOW ELSE CAN WE FEED OUR OWN
BODIES?
There are other ways to make your body feel good
without sugar. Try:
ü Meditation
ü Yoga or tai chi
ü Exercise
ü Dancing
ü Being in nature
ü Taking a bath or sauna
ü Loving touch
ü Healthy and delicious foods
14. WAYS TO KICK THE SUGAR CRAVINGS
When you feel the urge to reach for the candy or you feel
tired, follow these three simple strategies.
1. Eat healthy, high-protein meals that will give you long-
lasting and sustainable energy.
2. Eat foods that are rich in B vitamins, loaded with good
bacteria such as Kefir, Yogurt, Raw Cultured Vegetables,
Miso, Kevita or a Kombucha for a quick pick-me-up.
3. Drink a Coconut Water, loaded with minerals to hydrate
the body, balancing the blood sugar.
15. IT IS NOT ALWAYS YOU –
NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES
Many people experience nutrient deficiencies that lead to blood
sugar imbalances.
To combat sugar cravings:
§ Increase the protein in your diet such as meat, fish, nuts, seeds,
and eggs.
§ If you are a vegetarian, add a good quality, plant-based protein
powder such as Plant Fusion, Jordan Rubin’s RAW Meal, or Vega.
§ Chromium is a nutrient that helps to regulate blood sugar. If you
are deficient, you can take a supplement (speak to your doctor or
local health food store about dosage), or it is found in the following
foods: brewer’s yeast (not suggested for anyone with candida),
beef, liver, oyster, onions, eggs, chicken, apple, ghee, bananas,
and spinach.
16. HAVE YOU BEEN FEELING BLUE?
Often, we crave sugar when we feel
low in energy, a tad depressed, or just
not ourselves. It has been proven that
we can be deficient in tryptophan.
• Tryptophan is the happy hormone,
the precursor to serotonin, which
supports sleep and mood. Instead
of reaching for the next sugary
snack, eat these foods:
Turkey meat, eggs, kefir, yogurt, nuts,
and seeds.
17. CROWDING OUT THE BAD STUFF
Do you rush out of the house without breakfast and
grab coffee on the go? Often, we are toxic + tired
because we are grabbing & going.
Try these energy-rich options:
ü Scrambled eggs sprinkled with spinach & a brown rice
tortilla
ü Ezekial bread with almond butter & sliced banana
ü Dairy or dairy-free yogurt with gluten-free granola & fresh
berries
ü Smoothie with raw cacao and cinnamon (raw cacao for vital
magnesium and cinnamon for balancing blood sugar)
18. NOURISHING THE SOUL
• Instead of reaching for something
sweet, let’s add some sweetness to the
soul.
• Adding sweetness to the soul can be
done in the following ways:
ü Taking a walk, ideally in nature
ü Drinking a warm cup of tea
ü Journaling
ü Getting a massage or doing self-massage
ü Taking a relaxing bath
ü Connecting with a friend or a loved one
ü Meditating for 5-30 minutes
19. SIMPLE STRATEGIES
• Eat 6 small meals a
day
• Have a healthy
protein, fat, and
green at each meal
• Use cinnamon to
balance your blood
sugar
• Add daily sweetness
for the soul
20. HEALTHY SNACK OPTIONS
Your body needs the right fuel. Instead of crashing
and burning, reach for some healthy and satisfying
snacks:
• Raw cacao chocolate pudding
• Chia pudding
• Smoothies
• A banana with 1 tablespoon almond butter and
cinnamon
• A baked apple with cinnamon and coconut milk
• Trail mix
• Protein and avocado
21. RESULTS WHEN YOU HAVE DETOXED
THE SUGAR!
Doing a detox program is a great way to break free
from the sugar habit. Detoxing will allow you to:
ü Kick cravings to the curb
ü Release stubborn weight
ü Have more energy throughout the day
ü Boost mental clarity and productivity
ü Have clear skin
ü Improve digestion
ü Increase immunity
ü Balance your hormones
22. FUN Q&A ABOUT DETOXING SUGAR
ü Detox does not mean deprivation!
ü Use detox/cleanse to uncover hidden food allergies
ü Think of weight gain being related to inflammation
ü Read recent works by bestselling author, Mark
Hyman, MD, who teaches that an elimination diet is
essential to balancing blood sugar and preventing
disease
23. WHAT IS A SAFE DETOX?
A safe and effective detox protocol
should involve:
ü A gradual approach that reduces
inflammation and lessens the toxic
load in the body
ü Including enough food and protein
to support the body’s detoxification
and elimination processes
ü Reducing sugar and caffeine
addiction, crowding out the foods
that wreak havoc on your system
