Cholesterol

2008-05-15T19:20:00.000-07:00

Another factor that can be hazardous to our health is cholesterol. In this topic, I'm gonna discuss all about cholesterol, it's effect, types and many more.

First lets know more what cholesterol is:

This handout is for people who are eager to learn more about cholesterol levels and health. Cholesterol is a kind of fat (lipid) made by the body. It is necessary for good health and is found in every cell in the body. On the other hand, a high cholesterol level in the blood (hypercholesterolaemia) is linked with an increased peril of heart disease and stroke. Seven out of 10 people over 45 have high cholesterol.

Why is High Cholesterol a Problem?

The major risk linked with high cholesterol is cardiovascular disease (CVD). This comprises diseases of the heart and blood vessels. High cholesterol causes blood vessels to become narrowed with fatty deposits called plaques. This can result in heart attacks, strokes and blood vessel problems. For more information just search Cholesterol in the search box you can see in this page.

Types of Cholesterol:

Cholesterol is elated around the body in the blood attached to a protein. This mixture of fat and protein is called a lipoprotein. Lipoproteins can be high density (HDL), low density (LDL) or very low density (VLDL), depending on how much protein there is in relation to fat.

LDL (low density lipoprotein)

Most of the body's cholesterol is elated as LDL. This is made up of frequently fat and a small quantity of protein. Too much LDL in the blood can cause cholesterol deposits to build up in the arteries, making it harder for the blood to stream through these blood vessels. High levels of LDL in the blood are linked with an increased danger of CVD. So LDL is sometimes referred to as " bad cholesterol".

HDL (high density lipoprotein)

A small quantity of cholesterol is elated as HDL, which is mostly made up of protein and a small quantity of fat.

HDL actually helps prevent cholesterol deposits building up in the arteries. Having low levels of HDL (compared with LDL) in the blood is associated with an increased risk of CVD. So HDL is sometimes referred to as "good cholesterol". Women tend to have a higher levels of HDL cholesterol than men.

Triglycerides

Triglycerides are a different type of fat, which mostly come from fats in your food. Energy that is eaten and not used immediately is converted into triglycerides and transported to fat cells for storage. This is an important source of stored energy.

Although most triglycerides are stored in fat tissue, low levels are also found in the blood. They are carried in the blood as very low density lipoproteins (VLDL).

Causes of of high cholesterol:

There are several factors that may contribute to high blood cholesterol:

a diet that's high in saturated fat and, less so, high in cholesterol (see How diet affects cholesterol below)

lack of exercise may increase LDL ("bad") cholesterol and decrease HDL ("good") cholesterol

family history - people are at a higher risk of high cholesterol if they have a direct male relative aged under 55 or a female relative aged under 65 affected by heart disease

being overweight, which may increase LDL ("bad") cholesterol and decrease HDL ("good") cholesterol

age and sex - cholesterol generally rises slightly with increasing age, and men are more likely to be affected than women

drinking more than the recommended amount of alcohol (ie more than three to four units per day for men and two to three units per day for women)

JSP

2008-05-15T19:01:00.000-07:00

For me using JSP in creating web pages are very fun and interesting. At first i thought it was hard but as time pass by after doing some projects with JSP, it's been easy although their are parts which sometimes it's hard like when you would combine JSP codes with database. In our project(shopping cart) we used and concentrated more with JSP codes but for me I didn't mingle more about the codes because i was assigned on the design of our web page, my job was quite easy. Being a programmer is not easy but with servers like JSP, some impossible things can be made possible.

High Blood Pressure

2008-05-14T18:33:00.000-07:00

Hmm Another important topic to talk about right? but what really is high blood pressure and it's risk and effects? What are the causes in having a high blood pressure? Know all the answers of these questions.

First lets know what high blood pressure is:

High blood pressure intensify your possibility (or risk) for having a heart ailment and/or kidney ailment, and for having a stroke. It is above all hazardous because it often has no warning signs or symptoms. Despite of race, age, or gender, anyone can develop high blood pressure. It is estimated that one in every four American adults has high blood pressure. Once high blood pressure develops, it typically lasts a lifetime. You can avoid and control high blood pressure by taking action.

Risk and effects of blood pressure:

* Brain

Effect: Stroke

High blood pressure is the most vital risk aspect for stroke. Very high pressure can cause a shatter in a destabilized blood vessel, which then bleeds in the brain. This can cause a stroke. If a blood clot blocks one of the narrowed arteries, it can also cause a stroke.

* Eyes
Effect: Impaired Vision

High blood pressure can ultimately cause blood vessels in the eye to rupture or bleed. Vision may become unclear or otherwise impaired and can result in blindness.

* Arteries

As people get older, arteries all over the body "solidify," mostly those in the heart, brain, and kidneys. High blood pressure is linked with these "stiffer" arteries. This, in turn, causes the heart and kidneys to work harder.

* Kidneys
Effect: Kidney Damage

The kidneys perform as filters to clear the body of wastes. Over time, high blood pressure can slender and thicken the blood vessels of the kidneys. The kidneys filter less fluid, and waste builds up in the blood. The kidneys may not function well. When this happens, medical treatment (dialysis) or a kidney transplant may be needed.

* Heart

Effects: Heart Attack and Congestive Heart failure

High blood pressure is a main risk issue for heart attack. The arteries transport oxygen-carrying blood to the heart muscle. If the heart cannot get enough oxygen, chest pain, also known as "angina," can happen. If the flow of blood is blocked, a heart attack results.
High blood pressure is the number one risk aspect for congestive heart failure (CHF). CHF is a grave condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to provide the body's needs.

Causes of High Blood Pressure

The causes of high blood pressure differ. Causes may comprise narrowing of the arteries, a greater than normal volume of blood, or the heart beating faster or more forcefully than it should. Any of these circumstances will cause increased pressure against the artery walls. High blood pressure might also be caused by another medical problem. Most of the time, the cause is not known. Although high blood pressure usually cannot be cured, in most cases it can be prevented and controlled.

Why Click Ads?

2008-05-09T10:38:00.000-07:00

Why is it necessary to click ads every time you see it in sites?

It's not just because to help bloggers to earn money but in fact it gives more and well information about current matters. Why not click? Clicking does not need a lot of effort right? When you think of it, it's not just you who can benefit from it but also you encourage bloggers to post new and more helpful blogs. At first I disregard all advertisements that i can see in site's knowing that it would not help me at any reason at all but as i became curious about all of this advertisements, I tested my-self and ask my-self why not try to click some of these advertisements thinking that nothing will be lose to me. Fortunately i tried once and found out that these ads where not just posted for no reason at all but these ads where posted for a reason, a reason that every person should know. Through these ads, i learn about almost every thing, it's just like reading a book but in a more simple and convenient way. There's positively nothing wrong in venturing different kinds of stuff. Test your self and try to click some ads for you to know how important and helpful it is to us. I have some good ads here in my site and why not try it now and experience some good time. Hope i encourage you to click! Enjoy and start clicking!

Their are different kinds of products that Belo Essentials sells like lotions, soaps and many more. This commercial are well known for the phrase "Only Belo touches my skin, who touches yours?" For more information just click some ads or search Belo Essentials on the google search bar you can see in this page. Thank You.

Dare To Shop in the Internet?

2008-05-05T09:44:00.000-07:00

Internet is one way of having a an easy time doing shopping. Have you ever heard about e-bay? It is one example on how to shop online, here you can find and buy different kinds of stuff/products that are sold at a cheaper prize. As i scouted and studied about these awesome and new way of shopping trend, i founded out that not all customers are satisfied with what they have bought. Intriguing right? Well as what i have said, some products in the internet are sold at a cheaper prize but not all the time products you purchased are cheap. Sometimes you wonder how an ordinary shirt became so expensive, maybe it's because of the brand that gave the shirt an authority to be sold at an expensive price. There is nothing wrong about this but the sad thing is that some online shoppers are dissatisfied of what they bought because the products they have purchased are not only expensive but also has poor quality. Buying shirts at an online shopping site is quite risky because you are not sure if it is really an original brand or if it's quality had reached your standard. Also another problem in shopping shirt's online is that sizes are not properly what you think it is. Example you are an Asian and you ordered an American sized shirt, of course your shirt would not properly fit you because we all know that Asian and American has different type of body built. I am not against shopping online but what i am just trying to point out is that customers should always be aware to find out more about online shopping and alwats have the persistence and patience to know more about the products they would buy in the internet because in the end, customers are the one who suffers a lot.

Movie Review (50 first dates)

2008-04-27T07:07:00.000-07:00

The movie 50 first dates is a romantic comedy film that can catch every couples attention. Their are two main characters in the movie which are Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. The story of the movie is just like any other typical love story about how a boy loves a girl but on the other hand, this romantic movie has its uniqueness due to the twist of the movie. Adam Sandler fell in love with Drew Barrymore unknowingly that she has a memory problem. For the first time, adam sandler truly fell in love with a girl and he tried his best to win drew's heart. Here are some other movie reviews about the movie.

Just in time for Valentine's Day, "50 First Dates" is a spin on the "Groundhog Day" notion of a day that keeps repeating itself. This time, though, the recycling takes place entirely inside the mind of Lucy Whitmore (Drew Barrymore), who was in an accident that caused short-term memory loss. Every night while she sleeps, the slate of her memory is wiped clean, and when she wakes up in the morning, she remembers everything that happened up to the moment of the accident, but nothing that happened afterward.

E-commerce Security Issues

2008-04-18T07:02:00.000-07:00

For me the most present issue about e-commerce is privacy. I have read one article in the internet stated that privacy is handled by encryption. In PKI (public key infrastructure) a message is encrypted by a public key, and decrypted by a private key. The public key is widely distributed, but only the recipient has the private key. For authentication (proving the identity of the sender, since only the sender has the particular key) the encrypted message is encrypted again, but this time with a private key. Such procedures form the basis of RSA (used by banks and governments) and PGP (Pretty Good Privacy, used to encrypt emails).

Unfortunately, PKI is not an efficient way of sending large amounts of information, and is often used only as a first step — to allow two parties to agree upon a key for symmetric secret key encryption. Here sender and recipient use keys that are generated for the particular message by a third body: a key distribution center. The keys are not identical, but each is shared with the key distribution center, which allows the message to be read. Then the symmetric keys are encrypted in the RSA manner, and rules set under various protocols. Naturally, the private keys have to be kept secret, and most security lapses indeed arise here.

Global Warming!!

2008-04-14T09:22:00.000-07:00

Hmmm??!! What a sad thing to say that our world is now experiencing Global Warming. Can you imagine the earth melting like an ice cream in a cone? I never thought these problem would come this far. Once an environmentalist visits our school and lectured us about mother earth, at first i felt nothing about it, i didn't even bother listening to him but until i saw the movie of Algore , my whole perception nature became opposite. Now i became more concern of our environment and mother earth.

What is Global Warming?

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-twentieth century and its projected continuation.

The term "global warming" is a specific example of global climate change. The term "climate change" can also refer to other periods of overall temperature change such as global cooling. In common usage, the term "global warming" refers to the warming in recent decades and its projected continuation, and implies a human influence. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) uses the term "climate change" for human-caused change, and "climate variability" for other changes.The term "anthropogenic global warming" (AGW) is sometimes used when focusing on human-induced changes.
