Smokers Beware!!
By
now, most people are well aware that smoking causes lung
cancer.
Cigarettes, pipes, cigars, and chewing tobacco kill more
than
434,000 Americans each year accounting for one out of five
premature
deaths in this country. Lung cancer is just the first
in
a long list of tobacco related illnesses:
Bladder
Cancer - Smoking causes 40% of all cases of bladder
cancer.
Breast
Cancer - Women who smoke are 75% more likely to develop
breast
cancer.
Cervical
Cancer - Up to one third of all cases of cervical cancer
are
directly attributable to smoking.
Childhood
Respiratory Ailments - Children exposed to parents
tobacco
smoke have six times as many respiratory infections as
kids
of nonsmoking parents.
Diabetes
- Smoking decreases the body's absorption of insulin.
Emphysema
- Smoking accounts for up to 85% of all deaths
attributable
to emphysema.
Esophageal
Cancer - Smoking accounts for 80% of all cases of
esophageal
cancer.
Gastrointestinal
Cancer - Smoking at least doubles the risk of
cancer
of the stomach and duodenum.
Heart
Disease - Smokers are up to four times more likely to
develop
cardiovascular disease than nonsmokers.
Infertility
- Couples in which at least one member smokes are
more
than three times more likely to have trouble conceiving.
Kidney
Cancer - Smoking causes 40% of all cases of kidney cancer.
Mouth
Cancer - Tobacco causes the vast majority of all cancers of
the
mouth
Premature
Aging - Constant exposure to tobacco smoke prematurely
wrinkles
the facial skin and yellows the teeth and fingernails.
Stroke
- Smoking doubles the risk of stroke among men and women.
Throat
Cancer - The vast majority of cases of pharyngeal cancer
are
directly related to smoking.
While
smoking has officially been recognized as a cause of lung
cancer,
scientists have also confirmed another tobacco danger,
that
breathing the air containing someone else's smoke (second
hand
smoke) poses many of the same risk as smoking yourself .
Doctors
and Scientists have been reporting on the dangers of
tobacco
and smoking for nearly four decades. Many serious
illnesses
are directly attributed to smoking. If you want to
live
a longer, healthier life – quit smoking today!

Smiles
You
know you're getting old when:
You
don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't
have
to go along.
Statistics
show that at the age of seventy, there are five women
to
every man. Isn't that an ironic time for a guy to get those
odds?
Middle
age is when it takes longer to rest than to get tired.
By
the time a man is wise enough to watch his step, he's too old
to
go anywhere.
Middle
age is when you have stopped growing at both ends and have
begun
to grow in the middle.
A
man has reached middle age when he is cautioned to slow down by
his
Doctor instead of by the police.
Middle
age is having a choice of two temptations and choosing the
one
that will get you home earlier.
You
know you're into middle age when you realize that caution is
the
only thing you care to exercise.
"Getting
a little action," means you don't need to take
a
laxative.
Don't
worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older, it will
avoid
you.
The
aging process could be slowed down if it had to work its way
through
Congress.
You're
getting old when "getting lucky" means you find your car
in
the parking lot.
You're
getting old when you wake up with that morning-after
feeling,
and you didn't do anything the night before.
Doctor
to patient, I have good news and bad news - the good news
is
that you are not a hypochondriac.
It's
hard to be nostalgic when you can't remember anything.

Dear
Dr. Osgoodby:
I
work out at home. Do you recommend any certain type of
equipment
for training my abdominal area?
Sincerely,
Kelly
Natalia
Dear
Kelly:
My
favorite is the AbRoller. It can be inexpensively purchased
at
most sporting good stores. It also comes with an
instructional
video that will show you the proper form for
forward
crunches, leg lifts, and side crunches.
Yours
in health,
Dr.
Robert Osgoodby

********How do I Get There From Here?********

Avocados
Can Lower Your Cholesterol
Are
you're one of those people who enjoy eating avocados? If you
are,
then you could be lowering your cholesterol every time you
eat
one. A recent study from Australia showed that people who ate
1
1/2 avocados per day lowered their cholesterol levels from an
average
of 236 to 217.
Now
here's the twist to this study. Before going on the avocado
diet,
these people spent three weeks on a low-fat diet. The
result
was an average decrease in cholesterol levels of only 4.9
percent
compared to 8.2 percent on the avocado diet. Here's
another
avocado fact you're going to love. The avocados preserved
the
levels of HDL (the good cholesterol), but on the low-fat diet
these
good HDL's went down 14%.
The
answer is one word: monounsaturates, the main fat found in
avocados
and the same one that we all recognize as being healthy
that
is found in olive oil. So eat up, enjoy avocados, and stop
worrying
about the fat!
Join
me next month and we'll talk about other natural foods that
can
lower your cholesterol. These health tips can only be found
in
Dr. Osgoodby's Body Transformations Newsletter. Until next
month,
Live
in Passion and Good Health,

Your
Body Knows How To Heal
Letting
Your Immune System Do Its Job Is An Important Part Of
Getting
Well
A
staff member of mine told me of an interesting conversation she
had
with her daughter's babysitter, Renata. Renata is a young,
very
intelligent woman who has wanted to become a physician her
whole
life. She baby-sits for nine or ten hours a week to help
work
herself through the pre-med program at a prestigious
university,
even while taking a heavy course load consisting
almost
entirely of very challenging science classes and time-
consuming
labs. Needless to say, Renata is pretty stressed most
of
the time.
At
one point right around midterms, she called my staffer and
told
her she wouldn't be able to work that day due to a bad cold.
Two
days later, she arrived right on time for her babysitting
duties,
with only the remnants of a cough to show for her bout
with
the cold virus. "You sure got better fast," commented my
staffer.
"Oh, yes," replied Renata, "when I get a cold, I usually
start
taking cold medicine, Tylenol, and cough medicine right
away,
as soon as I start feeling any symptoms. Usually I can heal
myself
in a really short time!" My staffer correctly deduced that
what
Renata had done didn't fall into the category of healing.
Instead,
she had found a way to suppress the illness's symptoms,
which
allowed her to feel better temporarily. The real truth of
the
matter is that there's a dramatic difference between symptom
suppression
and actually allowing the body to heal itself.
Renata
certainly isn't alone in her methods for self-treating
illnesses;
most Americans, including the physicians they trust to
help
them heal, think this way. They are strongly reinforced by
advertising
that convincingly portrays drugs as quick fixes for
practically
every illness.
Healing
vs. Feeling Better Fast
Let's
say you come down with a bad cold. You're sneezing and
coughing,
running a slight fever, and feeling generally as though
you
shouldn't get out of bed. If you take a decongestant for your
nose,
a Tylenol for your fever, and a cough suppressant for your
cough,
you may feel like diving back into your life within a few
hours.
Or, let's say you decide to allow the illness to run its
course.
You stay in bed with your big box of Kleenex, bundle up
warmly
until your fever breaks on its own, and use expectorant
herbs
like hyssop that help you to cough up whatever needs to be
coughed
up. You drink lots of fluids, eat very lightly, sleep on
and
off throughout the day, and take plenty of vitamin C and
echinacea.
I'll guarantee that it's far better for your long-term
health
to take this approach. It's not an "instant" cure, but
the
long-term results are a healthier, stronger immune system.
Stay
Healthy,
Dr.
Earl Mindell
