Press Release Body = Why Care About your Health? The May 1st cover story of Time magazine \"What Scares Doctors? Being the Patient\" was remarkably short on facts to back up the sensationalist title. The facts are considerably more disturbing. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), there are 250,000 deaths a year caused by medical practice in the US. The largest number was 106,000 deaths from non-error negative effects of drugs. 80,000 deaths were from infections acquired in hospitals. The author was Dr. Barbara Starfield of the prestigious Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health. These numbers indicate that doctors are the third leading cause of death in the US, after heart disease and cancer. Rus Slater of realhealth & wellness (www.realhealth.ca) states that the message here is clear - As healthcare consumers we need to take responsibility for not getting drawn in to a failing system that may not only fail to meet our needs but could harm or even kill us. It starts with making healthy choices.
Simple Ways to Stay Healthy Our affluent lifestyle is killing us! The prime suspect is animal fats. Animal based foods have been conclusively linked to heart disease and cancer, the 2 leading causes of death in North America. Habit is not always easy to change, but little steps can have big ripples over time. Mom was right about eating your veggies. Try adding more fruits and veggies to your diet. Instead of the massive slab of steak being the center piece of a meal have a smaller portion of meat added to a savory mix of veggies. Or try 1 day a week where you don\'t eat meat.
EXERCISE! You don\'t have to be a marathon runner. 30 minutes, 3-4 days a week will give significant cardiovascular benefit. You don\'t even have to do the 30 minutes consecutively. Instead of driving around hunting for that perfect parking spot - park a block or 2 away and walk! Do that a couple of times a day and you will benefit. Take the stairs, ride a bike to work, or go for a walk at lunchtime. Whatever you do make it fun so you\'ll want to keep it up.
Cats linked to Schizophrenia Recent epidemiologic studies indicate that infectious agents may contribute to some cases of schizophrenia. In animals, infections with Toxoplasma gondii can alter behavior and neurotransmitter function. In humans, acute infection with the cat virus \"T. gondii\" can produce psychotic symptoms similar to those displayed by persons with schizophrenia. Two other studies found that exposure to cats in childhood was a risk factor for the development of schizophrenia. Read the full article at www.schizophrenia.com/sznews/archives/001849.html
