Sleep Deprivation Contributes to Cancer Risk
There’s nothing like a good night’s sleep – so they say. Sleeping is the process that feels just great when we get enough of it and can seriously undermine daily activities when we don’t. It is a time for your body to rest and recuperate from life’s everyday strains. Without it, we know we get run down emotionally and physically. This is a time when the body’s defences are down and we can be prone to infection if lack of sleep is an on-going issue. Indeed, there are even sleep clinics around the country to deal with sleep disorders as they have such a knock on effect in everyday life.
New research from scientists in Japan suggest that a lack of sufficient sleep leads to an increased chance of breast cancer. The findings, published in the British Journal of Cancer, states that women need a minimum of six hours sleep a night. Without this, their chances of breast cancer increase by up to 60 per cent. With 40,000 women a year in Britain being diagnosed with this disease these are obviously not statistics we can afford to ignore.
The good news is that for those women who get the luxury of nine or more hours sleep a night can decrease their chance of contracting breast cancer by nearly thirty per cent. It is thought that the hormone melatonin plays a strong role in preventing the tumours from developing and melatonin is developed during periods of sleep.
These results back up other research that has been carried out into the issue of sleep deprivation and its effects on cancer, according to Cancer Research UK. One in particular suggests that with decreased levels of melatonin in the blood, current tumours will grow at double the speed.
For those with breast cancer already, the patient, it seems, would fare better if they were to hold a health insurance policy when they were diagnosed. Charity Breast Cancer Care has conducted a study into the patients receiving medical attention for breast cancer and found that they are suffering a lack of essential care. In fact, nearly half of patients with advanced breast cancer do not have access to a named health care professional.
This conflicts with the fact that 98 per cent of those with a primary diagnosis of breast cancer are receiving this part of the care plan that offers emotional and medical support. Private health care, funded by private health insurance, is less likely to see a patient suffering such issues given that there is more funding and higher expectations on the professionals and it is a sad fact of life that rather than relying on the state system, which Britain used to be so proud of, we are now seeing people having to turn to health insurance to provide them with the reassurance they want.
Being diagnosed with advanced stage cancer is a very frightening time for patients and the level of care needed is significantly raised above those with a primary cancer. That said, some good news to come from the government this week is that they are now making a way for patients to be able to pay for cancer drugs through their health insurance whilst still receiving NHS care. Mixing the two was not previously allowed and this has led to many complaints as some drugs that could help cancer victims were not affordable or available through certain health authorities.
So it would seem that having a health insurance policy in place can help in many ways, from funding high quality medical help to buying approved drugs otherwise unavailable, to providing enough peace of mind to contribute to a good night’s sleep.

Is this right i got mail from some of my friend.?
Live Life Without Limits!

The top five cancer-causing foods are:
1. Hot dogs
Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can’t live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.
2.. Processed meats and bacon
Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.
3. Doughnuts
Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.
4. French fries
Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams .
5. Chips, crackers, and cookies
All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.
BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS
1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.
7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.
9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.
10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain

The main causes of liver damage are:
1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.
We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to ’schedule.’
half of that is BS
