MY CHOLESTEROL LEVEL (私のコレステロール値)




After on-line chatting with friends,and then realised that I didn't check my cholesterol level for more than a year. I still remember last year, my total cholesterol index was 4.6 mmol / L. At that time I eat cryptomonadales every day . Due to no health problems ,I had changed to take fish oil (to save money). So this year I am actually taking fish oil pills every day. This time,I did my own test too, the total cholesterol level of mine was 6.99 mmol / L. I was very surprise and hastened to call Pathlab for arrangement to do Lipid Profile. In the waiting process, and so on,I always felt that left chest very uncomfortable, very tired, a lot of sleep also tired, whole body and back very tight , and blood pressure slightly high. It was really scary. This morning,cholesterol report can temporarily breathe a sigh of relief.
  • TC :6.2 mmol/L (<6.5mmol/l)
  • LDL:3.8mmol/L (<2.5mmol/l)
  • TG :1.7mmol/L (<2.0mmol/l)
  • HDL:1.64mmo/L(>1.0mmol/L)
  • TC/HDL:3.8 (<5.0)
  • TG/HDL:1.04 (<2.0)

Friends, although LDL seem high. In fact, I do not worry, because the TG / HDL is only 1.04. Some research showing that TG / HDL <2.0,then>

Because my LDL is belong to the fluffy "beach ball", not the small, dense "baseball like". Therefore, my LDL oxidation is not easy. As long as I keep up with the zone food pyramid dishes can lower the LDL.

SCIENTISTS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF FOOD PILLS TO RESPOND TO FOOD CRISIS


The scientific method used to the food crisis! The proposal of scientists is to develop a pill that containing the various nutritional requirements for human body, eat once daily as long as we feel hungry.
Since World War II,the price of food is rising globally, it rose like a "silent tsunami" and cause 100 million people bogged down in poverty and hunger. Recently, wheat, rice, corn and other crops prices are soaring.

Haiti, Mexico, Guinea, Mauritania, Morocco, Senegal, Uzbekistan, Yemen and other countries, people have started to protest on the streets against rising food prices.

In response to the food crisis, some scientists proposed creating a super food to solve the problem of hunger, for example, such 'food pill' contains all kinds of human nutrition requirements,take it once a day will not hungry for one day.
However, the University of California, Davis, professor Bradford, said: "I do not believe that such a single food can include all types of nutritional ingredients. In addition, the whole day eating food pills will be annoying."

Researchers are still studying non-animal meat. The Netherlands meat science professor at the University is using animal stem cell research a synthetic man-made meat.

In the addition of amino acids, minerals and other growth factors into glucose solution, stem cells can grow into muscle tissue, such meat is called "meat of culture" and theoretically, use a single cell can produce enough food worldwide for human one whole year.

I personally think that the algae may become a super food. Firstly, algae grew up in the water, such as seas, rivers, and lakes water and so on. On the surface of the Earth's water, there is still much space to play because the size of Earth's water area is larger than land area. Secondly, the nutrient-rich algae, has also been recommended as space food .Therefore, I hope Scientists may study it to cope food crisis.

MISUSE OF TOPICAL CREAMS/MEDICATION


The following have been reported to the MPS during the campaign "to request feedback on misuse of topical steroids". Many community pharmacists may have come across such situation as examples below. In short, pharmacists should not simply just supply any medication upon request but must always ask the reason for usage by patients, some patients may not like it but many can appreciate the professionalism behind such gesture and it will help to strengthen pharmacists image.

  1. Clobet cream requested by patients for face-fungal infection. Pharmacists should ask them the reason and explain to them it is a strong steroid cream instead of antifungal. Therefore, pharmacists should change steroid to antifungal cream e.g. miconazole

  2. Econazine cream for allergy, some of the patients buy it every week. Therefore, pharmacists should advise and change econazine to antihistamin e.g. zyrtec 10mg, polaramine

  3. Prednisolone 5mg, some of the patients take 3 tablets during any allergy reaction. Therefore, pharmacists should advise and change it to antihistamine pill e.g. chlorpheniramine.

  4. Glibenclamide 5mg to reduce weight which is suppose to control sugar level. As a pharmacist, please advise them to stop medication.

  5. Betamethasone ointment requested by patients to cure itch fungal infection. Therefore, pharmacists should advise and change it to combination antifungal+hydrocortisone cream.

  6. Fucicort cream requested by patients for open wound. Therefore, please advise them to change to fucidin cream.

  7. Betnovate-N requested by patients for burn. Therefore, pharmacists should advise and change it to antiseptic.

FASTING AND BEDTIME,THE BEST TIME TO DO BLOOD GLUCOSE MEASUREMENT


Pancreas is an important organ for insulin secretion. By eating food ,organ will secrete insulin and convert food into energy, glucose will be driven by insulin to enter the body's cells to provide energy.However, if the lack of insulin secretion, or insulin itself is not function normally,may lead to diabetes.

For those long-term use of insulin injection or type 1 diabetes, close monitoring of blood glucose is very important. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), daily blood glucose measurements should be more than 3 times. In general, the best time for measurements are fasting as well as at bedtime. As for the type 2 diabetes,the frequency of measurement has not been clearly set yet, but it is advisable to develop a daily habit of monitoring of blood glucose. For pregnant women with diabetic , suggested daily measurement is 2 times.

The primary objective of diabetes management is to maintain normal blood sugar level, if patients can control blood sugar carefully,it will be effective in preventing complications., Apart from the use of drugs on time, patients can improve their blood sugar by changing life style (diet and exercise), as well as closely monitoring blood glucose. Self monitoring of blood glucose at home regularly allow themselves to avoid emergency situations such as high blood sugar and low blood sugar , and the symptoms of low blood sugar may be tremor, cold sweat, as well as hunger, loss of consciousness and may be unconscious or coma, and the symptoms of high blood sugar may be extreme thirst and hunger, and sometimes there will be more of the urine or polyuria.

The Pharmacist from Hospital HsinTienGengXin said the "heart pain"that suffered from fingertip blood glucose measurement is the most important factor that affect many diabetic patients from self-monitoring blood glucose.

No matter what is the type of diabetes, if the blood sugar is not control properly,it may lead to deterioration of the disease and the complications of diabetes such as serious injuries of the heart, eyes, kidneys, and nerves .Although diabetes may lead to unwanted condition, by close blood glucose monitoring will reduce the formation of diabetic complications and also can extend the life of diabetic patients.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF MENTALK CANDY


Since I have read many messages on Cynomorium songaricum,I feel very confident that the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine is quite reliable in accordance with a certain clinical evidence.
A long-term Malay customer , he has long been suffered from enlarged prostate interference. He is a very simple type of people, it is easy to introduce products to him. Four days ago, he came to my outlet, i introduced Mentalk to him. Unexpectedly he had tried, someone asked him to try one before, but he didn't put attention to their effectiveness. At that time, I asked him to try two days, once daily. Yesterday, he came back bought the candy to six, I guess he felt the good effect. Perhaps he has a windfall, first of all, I guess the frequency of urination and nocturia had improved inevitably. Secondly, he may be in the background of happiness, he might has been a sexually revival.


I think this is the time that the poor have the opportunity to change their sexual life style, because Viagra per tablet is RM50, and only RM5 per Mentalk candy. Viagra is not convenient than Mentalk, Mentalk only candy, but Please do not underestimate it.
