Specialist Makes Plea for Men’s Health Awareness

June 24, 2010 – 9:05 pm

Professor Robert McLachlan, Consultant Andrologist at Monash IVF and Director of Andrology Australia, addressed hundreds of medical professionals attending the annual Fertility Society of Australia Conference in Brisbane encouraging a greater recognition of men’s health matters in the setting of infertility.

“Male reproductive dysfunction is the sole or contributory cause of infertility in half of the couples presenting for treatment at IVF centres”, said Professor McLachlan. He went on to say “while we have made terrific technological advancements such as ICSI that allow a normal pregnancy from many men with severe infertility, we always have a responsibility to fully evaluate men for conditions that can be treated to restore their ability to father children naturally. We must also look for conditions that are known to be more common in this group of men, and also address matters of lifestyle that could impact on fertility and their health more generally.”

These important points were also made recently by Professor McLachlan when addressing General Practitioners at a series of education lectures held by Monash IVF at several sites nationally. The aim of these educational events was to raise awareness of how to make early detection of the signs and symptoms of male and female infertility. Early intervention by lifestyle changes and/or medical treatment could then be more effective at either restoring natural fertility or improving the outcomes of medical treatments for infertility, such as IVF.

When men consult a GP or Fertility Specialist with their female partner in an effort to achieve a pregnancy it is an opportune time for lifestyle issues to be addressed whilst they are relatively young and healthy. The co-morbidities associated with poor lifestyle and infertility include testicular cancer, cardio vascular disease and androgen deficiency but, for many, the symptoms of these will not be realised until a further 20+ years down the track. For many men, their attendance with a fertility problem may be the first time they have seen a doctor for quite a while and taking the opportunity to address their holistic health care should not be missed.

Another important observation is that 70% of men with Klinefelter’s Syndrome (chromosomes XXY) escape diagnosis for their entire lifetime! This is alarming considering that a simple testicular examination would alert a Medical Practitioner to this given that testicular volume in Klinefelter’s men is around 4ml compared to the normal 30ml. Many do not have the “textbook” appearance (tall, feminised) but their health and well-being would greatly benefit from testosterone supplementation once diagnosed.

Andrology Australia has developed an excellent booklet “Your Sperm and How to Look After Them” which provides men with information on factors affecting their fertility and lifelong fertile health. It is aimed at single and partnered men of all ages. Hard copies can be obtained directly from Andrology Australia free of charge to Australian residents.

Online Health Check Helps You to Audit your Projects

June 21, 2010 – 6:50 pm

Prince2 the default for project management

Most of the projects in Europe are managed by Prince2 certified project managers. Part of the Prince2 training is the Prince2 healt check, which can be found in Appendix D of OGC’s Prince2 manual (Managing Sucessful Projects).

Use the project management health check

I used this wonderful health check for years years to check the current state of my projects. Later as a programme manager I have used it to check my project managers and help them perform better.

Every time I switched jobs I was surprised that I was the only one who had an automated Prince2 checklist (in excel). Now I created a website with the automated health check so everyone can benefit from it.

Online health check at healthcheck-online.com

With this website I found an easy way to share my automated checklist with the world. To use the Online Prince2 health check select the desired check from the submenu. Fill in your name and email. Select the ‘send me a copy’ box, to receive the results by mail.

Partial health checks available

The whole health check has 203 questions, which is a awfull lof of questions to answer. To make life easier I divided the health check also in sub health checks. One of the sub health checks is the Risk Management Health Check. I’ll try to explain the necesity of this health check:

A key aspect for the project is management of Risk. Management of Risk aims to identify risks that threaten the project and then manage them. It is not necessarily required to eliminate a risk (or all risks), that could be an disproportionate effort and could prove costly.

The project manager must be aware of the risks from the beginning of the project and not limited to one stage, but looking forward towards the end of the project. When decisions are taken they can have impact on the risks. So a risk assesment is a continous process.

Risk are introduced at any stage in the project, so good management of them is a necesity. The Prince2 risk management cycle is divided in two steps:

Risk analysis Identify the risks Evaluate the risks Identify suitable responses to the risk Select Risk management Plan and resource Monitor and report

The Prince2 Health Check contains the following questions:

Is there a Risk Log? Is it kept up-to-date? Are risks to each plan identified, analysed and acted upon? Are business risks identified? Is a formal procedure for the management of risk in use? Is risk assessment part of each End Stage Assessment? Were the major risks entered in the PID? Have risk owners been identified? Are risks monitored on a sufficiently regular basis? Is risk assessment part of each major change request assessment? Were risk likelihood and impact assessed? Have proactive risk actions been taken where necessary? Were any needed contingency plans prepared? Were all obvious risks covered? Were the risks and countermeasures discussed with the Project Board? Were appropriate countermeasures taken? Were risks reassessed when plans were changed?

What Is Natural Women’s Health?

June 3, 2010 – 6:41 pm

Obviously, the anatomy of the human body is different for both men and women; however, most people see evidence for this in the actual physical appearance of the body. This is certainly the most distinguishable difference, but there are many other different internal factors as well, such as the regulation of hormonal secretions and the type of secretions; in addition, women are more prone to certain diseases than men.

If you decide to take natural health approach as a woman, you will need to address these differences in the regimen you design.
You might know that it is important to eat low-fat foods, unrefined foods that do not contain preservatives, but do you know what vitamins and nutrients women are more likely to lack?–And do you know why not addressing those needs can significantly decrease your performance at work or at home?

You know from experience that a poor health regimen will manifest itself in everything you do. It will show on your skin and in your eyes. You will lack energy and it will show. Your body will reveal your lifestyle.

Natural women’s health is one method you can use to reverse the effects of your poor health regimen. In addition to getting more sleep and drinking more water, a natural women’s health regimen will include proper nutrition. This is especially important if you are pregnant or planning to conceive in the future. If you want to have a child, you must ensure your body is functioning properly by restoring yourself to good health through natural methods; and if you are currently pregnant, you need to ensure that your body is replacing the nutrients your baby is consuming.

That is, however, not the only reason natural women’s health should focus on nutrition. It is also because there are certain foods that normally benefit women’s metabolisms, which can be very beneficial, as it is often harder for women to lose weight than men.

Natural women’s health is also an important part of regulating your PMS and menstrual cycle. It is a way of ensuring that while your body is performing all its natural functions it is still able to get all the nutrition it needs to keep going.

One excellent place to find free information about natural women’s health is the Internet. There are a number of websites that offer a significant amount of information on natural health regimens that could greatly improve your quality of life.

That is why so many women are thinking about changing their lifestyles to focus on a more natural approach to health. That will help them deal with all the other issues other than having to worry about whether or not they are taking care of their bodies. This is the best proactive treatment you can give your body.

Individual Health Insurance Reform Future Proceedings Easy To Insure Me

June 2, 2010 – 9:46 pm

MARCH 26, 2010

This Week in Health Care Reform     

Health care reform legislation passed the House this week on a party-line vote. Late Sunday night, House Democrats approved the Senate health care reform package, sending the legislation to President Obama for his signature. On Tuesday, President Obama signed the underlying bill into law, yet the House has yet to finalize the package of “fixes” that will alter the final implications of the legislation.

Health Care Reform Negotiations

House Democrats Pass Health Care Reform Package: The House of Representatives approved the Senate health care reform bill Sunday night by a vote of 219 to 212. The vote marks the climactic finale to a year-long debate over health care reform. In the final vote, 34 Democrats joined all House Republicans in voting against the measure. Shortly thereafter, the House also passed a package of “fixes,” by a vote of 220-211, that was sent directly to the Senate for its approval through reconciliation. On Tuesday, President Obama signed into law the Senate health care reform bill, called the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.”

Republicans Force Senate to Send the Reconciliation Bill Back to the House: Shortly after the President signed the Senate bill into law, Senators began deliberations on the reconciliation bill. Reconciliation protocol restricts Senators to 20 hours of debate on the measure, but it does not limit the number of amendments that can be filed. In an expression of opposition to the bill, Republicans filed 29 amendments to the reconciliation package.

After 10 hours of continuous debate, Republicans were successful in eliminating two provisions related to college financial aid in the non-health care portion of the bill. The Senate parliamentarian ruled early Thursday morning that those two provisions violated the chamber’s rules, sending the legislation back to the House for a new vote. As a result, on Thursday afternoon, the Senate voted on the reconciliation bill without those two provisions and sent the bill  back to the House for a vote on final passage. The House vote will likely come Thursday evening.

What Does This Health Care Reform Legislation Mean: While the health care reform bill extends insurance coverage to 32 million more Americans by 2019, the legislation has other far-reaching implications that will be phased in sooner, during a multi-year implementation period.

Several features of the new health care overhaul bill that would take effect in 2010 under the measure passed Sunday include:

* New product requirements beginning 6 months after enactment, including:
o Coverage for dependents up to age 26
o No lifetime maximum benefit limits
o And no cost sharing on preventive care for certain policyholders
* Temporary federal high risk pools;
* Tax credits for small employers; and
* Prohibition on pre-existing condition exclusions for children (beginning 6 months after enactment).

Most Americans will have until 2014 to purchase insurance or pay a penalty. Other elements of the bill that will not take effect until at least 2014 include insurance marketplaces called “exchanges”; rules requiring insurers to accept all applicants regardless of pre-existing conditions, and an expansion of state Medicaid programs.

A number of experts question whether health care reform will really drive down insurance premiums. America’s Health Insurance Plans ( AHIP), the trade group representing health insurers, outlines a series of concerns related to the legislation including a lack of provisions that address underlying health care costs, improve quality of care or ensure a stable risk pool. In addition, AHIP expressed concerns regarding new taxes on health coverage, which will likely increase premiums.

Additional Activities

Obama’s Executive Order on Abortion Funding: On Sunday afternoon, prior to the final House vote on health care reform, President Obama agreed to issue an Executive Order that would uphold the ban on federal funding for abortion . In so doing, he secured about a half-dozen votes from anti-abortion Democrats, led by Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI), who previously opposed the legislation. On Wednesday, President Obama signed the Executive Order banning the government from spending federal money to pay for abortions through plans offered on the insurance exchanges created under the measure.

States Filing Lawsuit to Fight Provision of Health Care Reform Bill: In response to the new health care reform legislation, states across the country have filed lawsuits asking the courts to declare the law unconstitutional and to bar its enforcement. On Monday,Attorneys General in 13 states, led by Florida, filed a joint lawsuit claiming that the new health care reforms violate state government rights in the U.S. Constitution and will force massive new spending on hard-pressed state governments. Joining Florida in the suit are Alabama, Colorado, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Washington.

At the same time, the Attorney General in Virginia filed a separate suit contending that Congress has exceeded its power in mandating that people buy health insurance. Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli argues that the new law’s requirement clashes with Virginia law that exempts citizens from federal fines imposed for not having health insurance.

Senate Voting to Extend COBRA Until May 5:  Senate Democrats plan another short-term extension of unemployment aid this week, setting up a face-off with Republicans, who are vowing to fight the extension if the $10 billion cost isn’t offset with spending cuts. The bill, currently set to expire on April 5, would extend a series of emergency programs – including funding for unemployment insurance benefits and COBRA health coverage for the jobless  – and would hold off a deep cut in reimbursement rates for doctors who serve Medicare patients. The long-term extension has already passed in both the House and Senate, but the two measures are not expected to be reconciled and sent to the President’s desk until after the Easter recess.

President Obama Heads to Iowa to Speak on Health Care: President Obama headed to Iowa on Thursday to increase support for his health care legislation. This was President Obama’sfirst trip out ofWashington since signing health care reform legislation earlier this week. He spoke at the University of Iowa, in the city where he first announced his health care proposal during the Presidential campaign.

Public Opinion

Most Americans Want Republicans to Fight Health Care Reform Bill: In a recent CBS News poll, 62 percent of Americans said they want congressional Republicans to continue challenging the bill, while 33 percent said they should not. Disapproval of the bill has remained steady, with 46 percent saying they disapprove, including 32 percent who “strongly” disapprove. A majority of Americans continue to say that they find the bill to be confusing and do not understand what it means for them or their family.

American’s Split on Health Care Reform Passage: In a recent USA Today/Gallup poll, 42 percent of Americans said they were angry or disappointed with the recent passage of health care reform legislation. When asked to reveal party affiliation, 79 percent identified themselves as Republicans.

Polling Shows Support for State Lawsuits Against Government: National polling reveals significant opposition to the individual mandate. In a newly released Rasmussen report , 53 percent of those polled oppose the new mandate requiring every American to buy or obtain health insurance. Further, 49 percent of voters are in favor of their state suing the federal government to fight the mandate. Fifty-one percent say individual states should have the right to opt out of the health care plan entirely.

Looking Ahead

After this week’s final health care reform vote, President Obama plans to travel the country in the next few months to discuss the new law. Republicans have begun their own discussions of the law, with an eye towards the November elections.

Best Nutrients For Sagging Skin – What Are The Best Vitamins That Will Help Tighten Sagging Skin

May 31, 2010 – 10:47 pm

Essential nutrients for sagging skin include antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and a variety of vitamins and minerals. People don’t really think too much about proper nutrition for the skin, but just like dietary supplements such as DHA omega 3 fish oil is necessary for good cardiovascular health your skin benefits from nutrients as well. You have to remember thatyour skin is an organ as well.

Dietary antioxidants will benefit you internally by reversing the oxidative cell damage caused by free radical buildup in the body, which is said to be why our bodies deteriorate with age. Oxidative cellular damage causes many of the lines and wrinkles that form on your skin as well. Your skin can benefit from antioxidant supplements, but nothing beats introducing them directly into the skin.

In order to receive a substantial supply of nutrients for sagging skin, the anti aging formulas you use must be made up of all natural ingredients. Most of the formulas on the market are developed using synthetics, and these manmade compounds offer very little to the skin as far as nutrition. You also have to be careful about the majority of the products available, because they contain chemicals proven to be potentially toxic or carcinogenic to humans.

Even products advertised as all natural could contain carcinogens and toxins as preservatives, antibacterial compounds, and firmer. You have to examine each item on the ingredients label to ensure that you are not absorbing something harmful into your body. Let me help you a little bit by telling you what it is you should look for in a product in order to give your skin the very best care possible.

You need to look at products that contain highly beneficial natural compounds like Babassu wax, Maracuja passion fruit extract, grape seed oil, and Phytessence Wakame kelp extract. Phytessence Wakame by itself offers 9 different essential nutrients for sagging skin, and it is the only compound known that can elevate your levels of hyaluronic acid by keeping estructive enzymes at bay.

The best products pair Phytessence Wakame with a protein fusion called Cynergy TK, which increases collagen and elastin production. Cynergy TK is also the most powerful antioxidant you can find, so free radicals and the oxidation they cause don’t stand a chance. It is all natural products that contain these ingredients that provide the necessary nutrients for sagging skin.

Men?s Health ? Can Fish Oil Omega3 Benefit Men?s Health?

May 28, 2010 – 9:06 pm

Fish oil may be particularly beneficial to men’s health, because of the omega-3 fatty acids they contain. Low intake of fish and low circulating levels of DHA, an omega3 fat, are associated with prostate cancer, BPH or enlarged prostate, prostatitis and with fertility issues, such as low sperm count and motility.

DHA Importance

DHA and other omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory activity and counter the effects of other types of dietary fat, such as omega 6 and saturated fats. If you haven’t heard already, you should not be eating anything that contains trans-fat. Food manufacturers are now required to list the trans-fat content, because it contributes to a variety of health problems and is not necessary to the human body.

Prostatis is an inflammation of the prostate gland. It usually begins gradually and lingers on for several weeks. Bacterial or other type of infection may or may not be present. Symptoms include pain and, if bacterial infection is present, fever. Protecting the prostate is an important part of men’s health. Fish oil, because of its anti-inflammatory activity, reduces the risk of prostatitis.

At birth, the prostate gland is tiny. It grows rapidly during puberty and a second growth spurt typically occurs after the age of 40. Nine out of ten men suffer from enlarged prostate or BPH by the time they reach the age of 85. A fish oil supplement may reduce the risk of BPH, which is benign. Studies have shown that blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids are lower in people with BPH and even lower in those with prostate cancer.

Healthy Food Key to a Healthy Lifestyle

May 22, 2010 – 9:05 pm

<!– @page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } –>

Getting into shape and losing weight seem to be really hot topics right now. Everyone whose overweight wants to get healthy, and those that are healthy want to stay that way. But the real question is how to make your way through the clutter to find the correct way to get or stay in shape. There is so much information out there when it comes to health and exercise; it can be hard to sort through it all. One constant when it comes to being healthy is partaking in a healthy diet. A healthy diet is one that’s high in protein and vitamins, low in fat and calories and high in fiber. To lose weight, a cut in calories is usually necessary. Losing weight typically comes down to burning more calories than you consume. If you cut down on your calorie intake and raise the amount of exercise you do, you will definitely burn enough calories to take the weight off.

Eating is the key when trying to lose weight. Many people know that losing weight requires reducing calories, but some take it to the extreme and starve themselves. Keeping yourself on a healthy diet will get you much better results than starving yourself, and you’ll be able to benefit from your new healthy take on food. Eating a healthy diet doesn’t mean you have to succumb to a life of eating celery and carrot sticks. Of course fast food probably isn’t your best option for a meal, but there are tons of recipes and foods that will fit into your new healthy diet. Most often if you replace some of the foods in your current diet with those of a healthy diet, you’ll find you can eat more and lose those pounds and inches. Most of your favorite dishes can easily be revised to include healthy diet foods without sacrificing the flavor. Eating a healthy diet also doesn’t mean you have to completely cut out some of your favorite restaurant foods or desserts.

The key to staying healthy is to still enjoy your favorites, but have all things in moderation. Having one slice of cake or pie as a treat on special occasions is much better than eating a slice of pie each night before bed so that it doesn’t go to waste. Another key to keeping a Healthy diet is planning. Many times people make bad food choices when they aren’t prepared. Do your research. Most restaurants offer nutrition information online. If you know that you will be going out to eat a certain night of the week, take the time to search for the healthy options that are offered. Also, don’t be afraid to make special requests of your server when you get there. Many times when you share that you’re trying to keep your food as part of a healthy diet, the restaurant will have no problems accommodating your needs.

Jim Mackey is a renowned dietician. He has been advising people on how to maintain a proper diet and how to lose those extra calories. If you want to know more about Healthy diet,weight lose,south beach diet,diabetic diet,diet plans you can visit www.dietsinreview.com

The Top Ten Myths About Fat Burning

May 22, 2010 – 6:03 pm

Ah, you chefs! You tempt us with your delicacies, engross us with your artistic mastery, and seduce our senses into submission. That’s what you hear a lot of, isn’t it? The subject of weight gain and loss seems to come up a lot whenever there’s a chef in the room. But if you really want a response or two, here’s some myths about weight loss that the general public just keeps hanging on to. Put them to rest, and maybe your diners will start a fitness program that works – and quit blaming it all on your raspberry truffles.


#1. It is possible to lose fat in one location on your body, often called “spot reduction”.


Spot reducing simply and plainly does not work. When the body burns fat, it is lost throughout every area of the body at the same time. Focusing on one area of the body for exercise may develop better muscle tone in that area, which will make that part of the body appear tighter and more fit, but it will not remove fat from that area. It is important to exercise the whole body, in a well-balanced fashion; this is the best method of reducing weight.


This myth is popularized by those late-night commercials for cream that you rub on that area – which is simply ridiculous. Turn it around logically – have you ever seen someone gain weight by suddenly getting fat arms, while their legs stayed skinny?


#2. Doing aerobic exercise is the best way to burn fat.


Of course doing aerobics, like doing any exercise, is a good way to stay fit and burn fat. But, there is no particular benefit of aerobics that is substantially better at fat-reducing than any other type of exercise. In fact, weight-training and resistance-training builds more muscle, which may help the body to burn fat more quickly, because it is more work.


#3. Weight training will make my muscles bulk up.


Ew! Women don’t want to go around looking like a muscled freak! Well, actually, normal resistance exercise tones the body and improves overall fitness. Normal weight training does not build huge, bulky muscles. The weight trainers who look like a pile of boulders are actually doing that more with steroids, anaboloids, and protein powders, plus heavy strenuous lifting which can actually damage muscles with scar tissue in the long run.


#4. There is a pill that will make you lose fat, no matter how much you exercise or what you eat.


This is such complete and utter fraud, that the FDA is constantly shutting down these companies as soon as they pop up. There is no pill that will do anything to make you loose weight at all. The “best” weight loss pills will only be effective when combined with sensible eating and healthy exercise. And, surprise! Sensible eating and healthy exercise is effective without any kind of pills at all!


And most diet pills are made with ephedrine. Ephedrine is a naturally occurring stimulant very similar to the illegal street drug methamphetamine, whose effects are not as strong and are spread out over a longer time. Ephedrine is in fact the chief ingredient used to make methamphetamine! In other words, it’s like being hopped up on speed, with about the same short-term effects – temporary decreased appetite and increased activity – and the same long-term consequences: risk of heart attack, run-down immune system, relapse to former state as soon as the drug is no longer taken, etc.


#5. After 20 minutes of exercise, your body is burning mostly fat.


The body uses both carbohydrates and fat for energy all the time; walking, jogging, sitting, sleeping. Over the course of exercise, the body will use more fat. Burning reserved fat exercises the whole purpose of why nature has mammals build up fat in the first place. But there is no specific time, whether twenty minutes or two hours, when the body starts burning only fat.


#6. Eating late at night causes you to gain more fat than eating at different times of the day.


A calorie is a calorie, regardless of the time of day. However, the sense behind this one is that eating the biggest meal of the day just before bedtime, as most Westerners do, is almost guaranteed to turn more calories into fat than the same meal eaten at the start of the day just before beginning your activities. Add to this that the average dinner for a Westerner involves huge slabs of meat and piles of starch, with perhaps some high-fat dessert and snacks. Trying to sleep with a freshly full stomach is never good for the digestive system anyway. So this one isn’t as much of a myth as the others – but then, a huge breakfast followed by eight hours of virtual inactivity at a desk isn’t exactly the cure either.


#7. Cellulite is the hardest fat to burn.


Cellulite is simply a combination of fatty tissue and fluid, closer to the upper layers of the skin. Its dimply appearance may be unsightly, but the fat in cellulite is no different from any other body fat. Reducing calories and exercising is the best method to get rid of cellulite, just like it’s the best way to get rid of any other fat.


#8. If you eat no fat, you cannot get fat.


Any fuel that the body takes in which does not get burned as energy gets stored as fat. Absolutely, positively, regardless of whether that came from a chocolate cake, a slice of ham, a bowl of rice, or a stalk of celery. That’s right: there are no “negative calorie” foods; if you consumed enough lettuce and did nothing but eat all day, you’d get fat off of lettuce! However, we’re talking about more lettuce than the average person could wolf down… but if we have the same serving of calories from two kinds of foods, the weight-gain potential from each one is the same.


#9. Genes and hormones control your fat burning ability rather than diet and exercise.


While it is true that genes have some role in determining who is fat and who is thin, there is no reason that diet and exercise cannot control your weight. To this day, there has not been a single laboratory test confirming that a person had genes such that they would continue to have a weight issue in the face of a perfect balance of diet and exercise.


#10. Liposuction is one way of permanently removing excess fat cells.


Well, yes, liposuction will remove fat cells. But fat cells can just as easily be made by the body, whenever it wants to! Which is to say, there is no fixed number of fat cells that you were born with.
