			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> To begin with, that the traditional three meals a day with the inevitable snacking in between gives somewhere in 2000-2500 calories. Almost no one &#8220;weak hearted&#8221; lover, sitting on such a diet is not able to build a decent mass. So, if you train exactly in line with my requirements, good sleep, live stress free and yet not growing, you do not have enough calories. That&#8217;s all.</p>
<p>In order for your muscle mass has gone into growth, you need to eat more. But before you take the start in this business, you need to understand the following three parameters diet.</p>
<p>So the first thing.<br />
You should eat foods rich in nutrients. If you thought I said banal stupidity, then you simply do not understand me. The dishes, which we are accustomed to eat, it is &#8220;weak&#8221; in terms of usefulness. Take those same soups. The concentration of amino acids in the broth is minimal, well boiled pieces of vegetables and do useless. How many have to eat the soup, to extract from him anything for muscle growth? Already, at least, not one dish or even two. Or another example: a burger. When frying it abundantly impregnated with fat. Fat is known to be the most energy-intensive products. One gram of fat contains 9 calories, but carbohydrates and proteins &#8211; only 4. For this reason, even a small but thick steak will leave you feeling pleasant satiety. You&#8217;d think that ate a five-plus, but actually uploaded a stupid &#8220;fat&#8221; calories, whereas you need calories from protein and carbohydrates. Do you understand? Need products that are useful to you as a bodybuilder: a piece of lean beef grilled, boiled chicken, protein enriched pasta, brown rice, wholemeal bread, svezheotzhatye juices, salads, fresh fruit, nuts.<br />
Second.<br />
You must know your basic level of energy consumption (BU). Briefly explain what it is. It is about the amount of energy that is needed for your body to the heart beating, lungs breathing, worked as the liver and muscles, etc. The growth we are now and do not stutter &#8211; it&#8217;s completely different matter. So, you need to know exactly how many calories your body need to live (and not build muscle). In practice, this is what usually happens. Amateur reproduces itself in the hall, but eats very scant and incomplete. His muscles need energy for growth, but the organism is, of course, received no &#8220;calories from those that are needed for normal functioning of the internal organs. Here&#8217;s a simple secret to failure. So that the muscles grow, you need energy &#8220;surplus&#8221; in excess of the basic energy requirements. But how to define it, if you do not know your rig? In fact, there are formulas for calculating the ECU at the rate of weight gain, exercise, etc. However, these formulas give a very approximate result. Well, from my own experience I know that the issue of calories should be extremely accurate. In addition, each of us unique. Variability of the huge, so I advise you to leave the formula poboku and walk another way. Within three weeks should count on a conductor of the food calories (assuming that your weight remains constant). And then you can easily compute srednearifmetichesky indicator of daily energy requirements. This will be your ECU. I stress that it is yours, and not derived through a strange formula. I think, further logic steps you will understand. If you eat just enough calories, your weight remains stable. If more &#8211; is growing. Less &#8211; you lose weight.</p>
<p>Third.<br />
You have to train properly. In this case it means &#8211; with a sufficient interval of rest between workouts. If the holiday you will not be enough, then begin to accumulate fatigue. Well, in a state of chronic fatigue a person loses weight, no matter how much eaten. So what happens, you are a fool. Begin to increase caloric intake, and impact as there was no, or not. And now, the specific steps. Add exactly 100 calories to your baseline energy level and 2-3 weeks stand in front of a mirror and examine yourself critically &#8211; not whether the increased amount of subcutaneous fat. If fat is not increased, add another 100 calories and there could look in the mirror almost every day. Continue to add the calories every week until they find a slight increase in Zhirkov. All stop! Bid up more calories is not necessary. From now on, the scales begin to show steady addition of your weight. Stay at this level of calories as much as will grow heavy. When the weight gain stops, you need to analyze your training, suddenly stopping the growth caused by overtraining? The more so for a period of weight gain you will become stronger and seriously increased workloads. If everything is in order, increase the daily caloric another 100-200 calories.</p>
<p>&#8220;Why is not the hurry? Again, for the reason that we are all different. Easy to say, eat up to 4000 calories a day and the muscles, like Dorian Yatsa, in your pocket. Someone&#8217;s stomach learns these most calories and, as they say, do not frown. Well, someone &#8220;picks&#8221; his digestion, and for one month, so much so that it will take care physicians. Someone&#8217;s body is able to convert the extra calories into muscle, but someone such a diet for a couple of months easily turn into a dimensionless overweight. In short, then extreme caution is needed, each of us has a genetic ceiling in the assimilation of calories. Hasty steps, and even contrary to nature, will not lead to anything good.</p>
<p>A gradual increase in calories will help your digestion to adjust to overwork the &#8220;extra&#8221; calories for him. In addition, you will know exactly how much food you can eat, do not get fat. The latter is especially important for an amateur. Traced the muscles and do not let these large volumes, look much more impressive than the bloated fat.</p>
<p>Efficiency of digestion is largely dependent on the nature of food. In principle, solid food is digested is worse than a liquid or semi-liquid. So that the more carefully you chew, the better. However, over the years of sedentary work all the muscle tissue, including stomach, lose their contractile ability. As a result, formally healthy stomach is working a lot worse. You should bear this in mind when you start to eat more. There is a reason to &#8220;assist&#8221; the stomach, taking food in a liquid or semi-liquid form &#8211; mashed, liquid, cereals, etc.</p>
<p>And yet. You must understand that to sit on high-calorie diet can be only during periods of intense training. Otherwise, the excess calories postponed under your skin. At the beginning of each training cycle should reduce some of the daily caloric content, because at this stage, the muscles do not grow, and therefore not in need of supplementary feeding. With increasing intensity of workouts daily calorie intake, it is understandable, it is necessary to increase.</p>
<p>Can I build muscle and get rid of fat?<br />
The growth of muscle tissue in a scientific way is called anabolism. And &#8220;burning&#8221; of fat &#8211; is, on the contrary, the destruction of body tissues, in this case &#8211; the fat. And it is called catabolism. Both these states are complete opposites of each other. And in one organism are incompatible. This is the answer to the question. In other words, your body may be either in a state of anabolism or catabolism. Or do you lose weight, or dial muscle. No middle ground. True, exceptions are possible &#8211; with the help of Pharmacology.</p>
<p>In connection with this should give an explanation for beginners, amateurs, inscribed in the gym to lose weight. When you start to swing, it would indicate a transfer of the organism into a state of anabolism, ie, growth. This, in turn, means that growth will begin to anything that can grow. Will grow muscle, but at the same time will increase and the thickness of fat tissue. There&#8217;s no escape. So instead of losing weight you get even more fat.</p>
<p>In ancient times, bullies do not really bother the accumulation of body fat while building muscle. Like, when you eat to satiety, like it or not you start gorging. Important &#8211; is to start the process of muscle growth, and the fat, we then we will manage somehow.</p>
<p>Many &#8220;stars&#8221; of the 60&#8242;s in the offseason swelled to the size of the elephant, sometimes picking up to 50 pounds overweight. After that, they rushed to the other extreme &#8211; the transition from &#8220;obzhiralovki&#8221; on meat and water. And indeed rounded up a huge amount of fat. Clearly, this is costly to their health.</p>
<p>Today in bodybuilding on this other strategy. If you see that in the period set mass you have touched with increasing body fat, go for a few months to a program sgonke subcutaneous fat to the level of 12% (not more!). Then again, return to building muscle. But it is slightly cut daily calories to fat under the skin accumulates more slowly than in the past cycle. After earning a 15% fat, once again interrupt the cycle of &#8220;weight loss&#8221; and again surges fat to 10-12%.</p>
<p>With this approach, work on the &#8220;relief&#8221; does not entail the destruction of the muscles. In fact, get rid of 3% of excess body fat &#8211; it&#8217;s nothing that does not require any wear aerobic loads, no specific victims in terms of diet. From each new cycle &#8220;with a lot of&#8221; you&#8217;ll leave with tangible allowance (it will not destroy the aerobics). And yet, at 10-12% body fat you will look quite decent. Of course, not as a pro on the catwalk, but the &#8220;cubes&#8221; will look through the press quite clearly.</p>
<p>Initially, the maintenance of such impressive form (if you&#8217;re interested in it) will give you hard, but with each new cycle of experience will be more and more, so as to facilitate cycles. The case is over the fact that you&#8217;re going to do on the machine. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Type 1 diabetes is also known as the insulin-dependent diabetes. There have been many unrelenting experts who have helped in finding ways for dealing with diabetes.  The organs in the pancreas which are responsible for the production of insulin malfunction or are not able to produce the insulin properly. Insulin are the hormones due to which the levels of blood sugar are controlled. Given below are some cures for this diabetes. The best type 1 diabetes cure must be selected for fighting the disease.<br />
1. Exercise<br />
Exercise proves to be very helpful for the people who are suffering from this condition.  The sugar level can be controlled and the calories and excess fats can be broken down. The method is not only helpful for diabetes symptoms but also for improving systematic health.<br />
2. Self administered blood glucose tests<br />
There are some gadgets that are used for the detection of blood sugar levels of the affected person. </p>
<p>In this way, the sudden surge in the sugar levels can be prevented in people. They can also be reminded to make the right food choices.<br />
3. Care for the foot<br />
Many diabetes sufferers are suffering from foot injuries, the condition will turned worse. For preventing this from happening, the feet’s condition can be monitored. It must be massaged daily for improving the circulation.<br />

Many of the people are depending on the benefits of bitter gourd. This is also considered to be the best herbal remedy as natural anti-diabetic properties are contained in it. Many people who eat this herbal remedy  can try to take some supplements  which can make significant differences.  The benefits of naturally manufactured remedy known as Insulate plus can also be tried. The blood sugar level in the body is regulated and a sudden increase in it is prevented.  Better circulation can also be promoted.  The functions of Islets of Langerhans are also sustained in the pancreas.

<p>Rheumatoid osteo-arthritis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease characterized by persistent symmetric irritation of multiple peripheral joints. It&#8217;s a single from the most typical inflammatory rheumatic diseases and is characterized by the improvement of the chronic inflammatory proliferation of the synovial linings of diarthrodial joints, which leads to aggressive cartilage destruction and progressive bony erosions.Rheumatoid arthritis is a very serious disease and early detection and treatment is critical. If you begin to experience any of the common symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, keep track of your symptoms and contact your doctor immediately. It is best to keep a detailed journal of your symptoms that you can discuss with your doctor. There are over 100 types of arthritis and proper diagnosis is needed to determine the proper treatment.</p>
<p>Rheumatoid arthritis symptoms can vary &#8211; and can include any of the above symptoms or all of the above symptoms. </p>
<p>Different symptoms may be apparent at different stages of the disease. Consulting a physician with a list of your known symptoms can help you discover if rheumatoid arthritis is the type of arthritis you have. Active and Inactive Rheumatoid arthritis is a form of arthritis that can occur in stages.Rheumatoid arthritis manifests itself over a period of a few months. However, for some, the disease appears overnight. Accelerated onset of rheumatoid arthritis does not mean the individual is at greater risk of the progression of the disease. Rheumatoid arthritis can lasts for years without symptoms. But rheumatoid arthritis is an illness that progresses and has the potential to cause joint destrution and functional disability. Usually, patients suffer cycles from severe to light symptoms.</p>
<p>These elements have long been suspected to be the root causes of rheumatoid arthritis. But then again, it hasn&#8217;t been proven that they alone are sufficient to cause the disease. What is certain is that viruses, fungi, and bacteria play a certain role in the development of the disease, as they trigger the body&#8217;s immune system to act. Therefore, it can not be ruled out that these infectious agents may have something to do with rheumatoid</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a typically male dominated society, it is neither uncommon nor surprising to find men taking the upper hand in bed. Some would delve deeper into this topic and say that women love to be pampered and so men need to play the role of the aggressor to make her feel &#8216;lovably tortured&#8217;. Most women need the feeling of security, even in bed, from their male partners. So when men start taking charge of activities in bed, women tend to surrender to their &#8216;masters&#8217;. But hello! Are we not living in an age of alpha males who just love to be in the company of women, often pampering themselves with explicitly sexual compliments and innuendos?</p>
<p>This kind of role reversal in terms of sexual dominance has given rise to a male sexual health concern which itself is not a new one. It is called erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as male impotence. In this condition you either do not get an erection or you fail to maintain it to complete sexual intercourse. Research has revealed that men who are submissive in bed can suffer from ED. The good news is that these men, with a wee bit of self-introspection, can use <a href="http://www.buy-cialis.co.uk/cialis-dosage.html" target="_blank">Cialis 5mg</a> pills to get over their erection problems. If you are thinking why they should <a href="http://www.buy-cialis.co.uk/tadalafil.html">buy tadalafil</a> in one of its lowest strengths, the answer is not difficult to guess. The low-strength version of the medicine might work out well when the cause of erectile dysfunction is rooted more in psychology than in physiology.</p>
<p>In addition to medical treatment, a tiny bit of help from partners might also do the trick. Many women love taunting their partners to get them going in terms of sex. It happens mainly with men with deeply rooted psychological problems because of which they cannot express themselves as assertively and sensually as any normal man would do. As a result, these men can slowly recover their confidence and start performing well in bed.</p>
<p>Any Briton suffering from impotence can find the ever-so-reliable Cialis online, by just keying in ‘<a href="http://www.buy-cialis.co.uk/">Cialis online uk</a>’ on the browser of their search engine. Buying the medicine from a reputed online clinic is safe, reliable and 100% discreet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> New Drug Dimebon for Alzheimer’s Disease<br />
<br />
Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most common types of dementia prevalent among the elderly. It is a brain disorder which disables a person greatly due to the incapacitating effects it has on memory, thought process and functioning. The condition affects the persons’ rational thinking, daily activities and even the motor functioning. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, 5.4 million Americans will be affected with Alzheimer’s by this year. Statistics indicate that more women are prone to be affected than men with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. By having a proper understanding of the illness, the symptoms can be properly linked to the cause and appropriate treatment can be sought at the onset stage itself. With Canada Rx drugs such as Dimebon for AD being available at discounted prices from Big Mountain Drugs.com, there is no reason why patients with even a retirement pension cannot find the relief from Alzheimer’s Disease<br />
<br />
What is Alzheimer’s?<br />
<br />
Dementia is a brain disorder which severely impairs a person’s memory, thought processes and function. Alzheimer’s is a disease which ranks high in the dementia list. It is believed that Alzheimer’s is a cause of a genetic mutation. This is the increase in beta-amyloid protein, which causes the death of nerve cells in the brain. There is no exact reason as to why this disease affects only the elderly. The propensity for the elderly people to suffer from AD is linked with the natural degeneration process of brain cells. However, this does not mean that all elderly people are affected with Alzheimer’s. Those with predisposition towards the condition will experience the disease as the natural aging process weakens the brain functioning.<br />
<br />
Symptoms of Alzheimer’s<br />
<br />
The most common symptom of Alzheimer’s is memory lapse. Most often memory lapse is dismissed as normal behaviour of the elderly. However, the severity of memory loss associated with AD is much greater than age related memory loss. People with AD will keep forgetting their names, where they live, the incidents and activities they just encountered minutes ago, and even the names of family members. Personality changes and the inability to interact socially are other symptoms of Alzheimer’s. The memory lapse continues as the disease progresses and the degeneration of the brain accelerates. After a while, a person with Alzheimer’s disease will be unable to function in the normal world. Confusion, disorientation and total inability to care for themselves is common when the disease is at its zenith. If neglected, aggravated health conditions resulting from pneumonia or another form of debilitating state of health is the conclusion to this disease as persons become home bound due to the illness.<br />
<br />
Diagnosing Alzheimer’s and Treatment Options<br />
<br />
There is no test which can diagnose Alzheimer’s, and, unfortunately, there is no cure. However, the FDA has authorised a number of drugs which may slow the progress of Alzheimer’s. As there are many types of dementia, it is always better to diagnose the illness in order to single out Alzheimer’s disease. Most researchers believe that the ability to slow the progress of the disease remains on early detection. They believe that if the course of medication is taken early, it will greatly slow the progression of the disease. Whatever the reason, early diagnosis will always benefit the person affected since most illnesses reach irrecoverable state once past a certain phase of progression.<br />
<br />
Dimebon and Alzheimer’s<br />
<br />
A new Canada Rx treatment alternative for Alzheimer’s is now available at Big Mountain Drugs, a reputed online Canada pharmacy. Dimebon, or Dimebolin Hydrochloride, as its generic name states, is an antihistamine drug which protects brain cells from continued degeneration and damage. Dimebon is also used to treat Huntington’s disease. As Alzheimer’s is a disease caused by brain cell death, this drug’s efficacy in slowing down the brain cell damage has proved to be effective in treating AD patients.<br />
<br />
As Dimebon is a relatively new drug to aid in Alzheimer’s, it should be mentioned that adverse reactions to the drug that are not established yet may be experienced by some people. Common adverse reactions include depression, diarreah, dizziness, dry mouth, insomnia, nausea, vomiting etc. If experiencing any severe side effects such as chest pain, blurred vision, allergic reactions, hives, severe vomiting and swelling, consulting medical attention is highly recommended.<br />
<br />
Alzheimer’s is a slow- progressing disease, which is often, misdiagnosed in its initial stages. However, with knowledge of the symptoms and its causes, individuals stand a better chance of obtaining the correct diagnosis in order to treat Alzheimer’s disease. Dimebon and other Alzheimer’s medication can be ordered from bigmoutaindrugs.com or any other Canadian pharmacy at affordable prices, putting AD treatment within the reach of even the low income retired patients.</p>

<p>When the symptoms of irritable bowel first  start affecting you, feeling confused is what you may feel as to just what is wrong. Maybe you are aware that you are facing some kind of digestive troubles, so read this article to get some information about what is exactly going on.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Typical symptoms of IBS are gas, bloating, abdominal pain, constipation and diarrhea. These can vary from person to person as to what symptoms are presenting themselves at the time, and also the severity of the symptoms.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Even though IBS is one of the most common digestive disorders, it is difficult to treat with conventional medicine. The prescription medicines commonly prescribed are not really intended to be a long term solution and can also cause side effects which are not pleasant.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Do you have these irritable bowel syndrome symptoms?</strong></p>
<p>Constipation</p>
<p>Diarrhea</p>
<p>Adominal pain or cramping</p>
<p>Gas</p>
<p>Bloating</p>
<p>Change in frequency of stools</p>
<p>Change in appearance of stools</p>
<p>Bowel movements bring relief</p>
<p>Uncomfortably full feeling, even nausea</p>
<p> </p>
<p>These are the most commons symptoms, yet each IBS sufferer may not experience all of them. </p>
<p>You may have problems more with constipation than diarrhea, for example, or even go back and forth between them. The severity of the symptoms can differ from mild to severe.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Another thing that commonly affects those with irritable bowel is that it often comes in cycles.</strong> There may be periods when all seems ok, then all of a sudden you are ridden with IBS symptoms.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Having an understanding of the symptoms can help you identify the problem. </p>
<p>To be sure of whether or not you actually have IBS,there is a test your physician can run called the Rome lll criteria to determine for sure if you have irritable bowel syndrome.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>One of the worst problems that you have to deal with is the embarrassment factor. Not knowing how your bowels are going to react can restrict your activities. </strong>It can even cause problems at work, and going out to eat can be very traumatic if your mind is on whether or not you will have to run to the bathroom.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There are quite a few recommendations you can follow that will bring you relief and even eliminate your irritable bowel syndrome symptoms. Simple dietary changes, stress management, biofeedback and exercise can all have beneficial results.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Acute back pain may begin suddenly and usually lasts around 3 months. Chronic back pain sometimes lasts throughout life.</p>
<p>The most common back pain is low back pain (LBP). It is is often described as sudden, sharp, persistent, or dull pain felt below the waist. LBP is very common and affects the majority of people at some point during their life. Up to 70%&#8211;85% of all people have back pain at some time in their lives. LBP is the most common cause of a limitation of activity in people younger than 45 years of age. It is the second most frequent reason for visits to a physician, and the third most common indication for surgery. It is the fifth-ranking cause of hospital admissions and is one of the leading causes of disability.</p>
<p>Low back pain is most commonly caused by muscle strain associated with heavy physical work, lifting or forceful movement, bending or twisting, awkward positions, or standing in one position too long. Any of these movements can exacerbate a prior or existing back disorder. Other conditions that can cause low back pain include spinal stenosis, arthritis (osteoarthritis), spinal infection (osteomyelitis), spinal tumors (benign and malignant), spondylolisthesis, and vertebral fractures (e.g. burst fracture).</p>
<p>Low back pain is either acute or chronic. Acute LBP may begin suddenly with intense pain usually lasting fewer than three months. Chronic pain is persistent long-term pain, sometimes lasting throughout life. Even chronic pain may present episodes of acute pain. Other symptoms include localized pain in a specific area of the low back, general aching, and/or pain that radiates into the low back, general aching, and/or pain that radiates into the low back, buttocks and leg(s). Sometimes pain is accompanied by neurological symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or weakness. Neurological symptoms requiring immediate medical attention include bowel or bladder dysfunction, groin or leg weakness or numbness, severe symptoms that do not subside after a few days, or pain prohibiting everyday activities.</p>
<p>Pain felt in the low back is not always indicative of a spinal problem. A thorough physical and neurological assessment may reveal the cause of the low back pain. The physical examination begins with the patient&#8217;s current condition and medical history. Examination of a patient with low back pain involves examining the patient&#8217;s range of spinal motion while standing straight, bending forward, and to the side. Asymmetry, posture, and leg length is noted. Methodical palpation of the spine can reveal muscle spasm, possible bony displacement, and tender points. Abdominal palpation is performed to determine if the cause of low back pain is possibly organ related (e.g. pancreas). The neurological assessment evaluates weakness, absence of reflexes, tingling, burning, pain, diminished function, and other signs that may indicate nerve involvement.</p>
<p>If infection, malignancy, fracture, or other risk factors are suspected, routine lab tests may be ordered. These tests may include complete blood count (CBC), erythrocyte sedimentation (ESR), and urinalysis. In some cases electrodiagnostic studies such as electromyography (EMG) or nerve condition velocity (NCV) are performed to confirm a diagnosis or localize the site of nerve injury. Plain radiographs (x-rays), CT Scan, and/or MRI studies are performed when fracture or neurological dysfunction is suspected. A MRI represents the gold standard in imaging today. A MRI renders high-resolution images of spinal tissues such as the spinal cord and intervertebral discs. X-rays are still the imaging methods of choice to study the bony elements in the low back. The results of the physical and neurological examinations combines with test results are carefully evaluated to confirm a diagnosis.</p>
<p>Most patients with low back pain are treated without surgery. A conventional treatment plan may include bed rest for a day or two combines with medication to reduce inflammation and pain. Medications recommended by the physician are based on the patient&#8217;s medical condition, age, other drugs the patient currently takes, and safety. The first choice for pain relief is often nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These drugs should be taken with food to prevent stomach upset and stomach bleeding. Muscle relaxants may provide relief from muscle spasm but are actually benign sedatives, which often cause drowsiness. Narcotic pain relievers are prescribed for use during the acute phase and often for chronic pain management in appropriate patients.</p>
<p>Other modalities to treat low back pain might include physical therapy (PT), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) trial, ultrasound therapy, acupuncture and massage therapy. A managed PT program can help build muscle strength and flexibility, improve mobility, coordination, stability and balance, and promote relaxation. Patients who participate in a structured physical therapy program often progress to wellness more rapidly than those who do not. This includes low back maintenance through a home exercise program developed for the patient by the physical therapist.</p>
<p>Although the number of spinal surgeries done every year is on the rise, it is rarely required to treat low back pain. Surgery may be considered if the patient is experiencing bowel or bladder dysfunction, increased nerve impairment, progressive weakness, incapacitating pain, or spinal instability. The surgical procedure depends on the diagnosis or the cause of low back pain. To prevent low back pain, first and foremost, follow the treatment plan outlined by the physician. To enhance recovery from an episode of low back pain, or to help prevent future exacerbation, try to maintain good posture, be consistent in a home exercise program, and eat sensibly to maintain proper body weight.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" src="http://www.onlineclinic.net/images/blog/flularge.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="200" />Many adults suffer from high cholesterol as a result of bad diets, poor amounts of exercise or simply inherit the condition from their parents. While cholesterol is used by the body for several functions, too much “bad” cholesterol can cause cardiovascular disease. This is when the low-density lipoproteins (LDL) transport too much cholesterol throughout the blood stream than is needed, and the excess substance accumulates around the arterial walls of the heart. In order to stop this from happening, and thereby decreasing the risk of heart problems, people take a form of medication known as statins, the most popular being <a href="http://www.onlineclinic.net/simvastatin.html" target="_blank">Simvastatin</a>, which lowers overall cholesterol production in the liver.</p>
<p>The treatment has found large success in helping people treat high cholesterol, but a new study published in the<em>Journal of Infectious Diseases</em> has suggested that statins may also decrease the mortality rates in hospitalised patients suffering from influenza. Giving the medication, besides lowering cholesterol, a further potentially life-saving function.</p>
<p>This was discovered after evaluative research observed over 3,000 patients with laboratory-confirmed influenza within the United States. Of this number, nearly 33% were using or had been given statins prior to hospitalisation. Researchers took race, gender, age and other factors into account when comparing patients and mortality rates, and found that overall; patients who were not using statins during their influenza infection had double the chance of dying from the infection. Professor William Schaffner, M.D. and chair of Preventative Medicine, commented that the findings provide potential for a more effective <em>combination</em> treatment of influenza.</p>
<p>&#8220;We may be able to combine statins with antiviral drugs,&#8221; Schaffner said during an interview about the findings, &#8220;to provide better treatment for patients seriously ill with influenza.&#8221; As co-author of the <a href="http://jid.oxfordjournals.org/content/205/1/13" target="_blank">influenza study</a>, he still recommended that yearly vaccinations against the viral infection to be the most effective method for preventing the sickness in the first place.</p>
<p>Overall these results are a positive discovery as flu season hits one of its yearly &#8220;peaks&#8221;. Although not necessarily serious to younger individuals, the elderly are often at extreme risk when they contract any of the influenza virus and subsequent strains; but with the use of statins following this finding mortality rates could be effectively decreased with the aid of a relatively inexpensive medication. It’s unclear at this point as to the benefit, if any, they may have for strains like swine flu or avian flu, but given the problematic development of vaccines for those particular strains, it’s unlikely that they would provide an additional benefit.</p>
<p>If you suffer from influenza and wish to know more about the condition and possible treatments, you can view our<a href="http://www.onlineclinic.net/influenza.html" target="_blank">Influenza condition</a> page where we hope you find the information you are looking for. Alternatively, should you have contracted the flu, you can visit our <a href="http://www.onlineclinic.net/tamiflu.html" target="_blank">Tamiflu treatment</a> page for treatment options.</p>
