Heart Disease and Stroke\nSmoking causes fatty deposits to build up in the blood vessels, leaving them narrow or blocked. This leads to heart disease or stroke. About 40% of deaths due to heart disease before the age of 65 are related to smoking. \n\nCancer\nCigarette smoke contains more than 50 cancer-causing substances. \nSmoking is the most common, preventable cause of lung cancer. Smokers are 22 times more likely to develop lung cancer. 90% of all lung cancer cases in Singaporean males occur among smokers\n\nThe longer one smokes, the greater the risk of developing cancers such as cervical and breast cancer, cancer of the mouth, throat, larynx, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, pancreas, kidney and bladder. \n\nChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)\nSmoking narrows the airways and destroys the air sacs in the lungs. This makes breathing difficult. Smoking is the most common cause of COPD, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. COPD is the 6th largest cause of death in Singapore.\n\nBone Loss and Osteoporosis\nOsteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to lose density and become brittle, leading to hip, spine and wrist fractures. \n\nWomen who smoke are 50% more likely to suffer from osteoporosis than non-smokers. \n\nRe-productive and Sexual Health\nSmoking increases the risk of infertility in both men and women.\n\n  Men  \n  • Smokers are 50% more likely to suffer from impotence or erectile dysfunction. \n  • Smoking reduces the volume of ejaculation, lowers sperm count, distorts sperm shape and impairs sperm mobility.  \n\n   Women \n  • Women who smoke may experience early menopause and more menopausal symptoms. \n  • Smoking may lead to decreased egg counts due to destruction of eggs in the ovaries before the eggs reach maturity.  \n\n   • Smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm delivery, and low birth weight. The smoke inhaled (either directly from a cigarette or from second-hand smoke) by a pregnant woman goes directly to her baby's lungs. It prevents as much as 25 % of oxygen from reaching the placenta.\n \n\n\nSecond-hand Smoke\nAbout 90% of the smoke from every cigarette ends up in the air as environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). \n  ETS \n  • causes lung cancer in people who have never smoked before.  \n  • causes heart attack, especially among the spouses of smokers. ETS also increases the risk of repeated heart attacks if one has suffered from heart attack before. \n\n   • increases the risk of heart disease, lung disease, asthma, allergies, sinus problems, blood vessel disease or worsen the symptoms if one is already suffering from these.

Most of the risk of the conditions you list can be reduced by a healthy life style. However, there is a genetic component to many of the conditions that you mention and there is not a lot you can do about them. If you have some one size fits all cure in mind I would be very careful with it. Many "new age" treatments are very dangerous.

I've had 2 friends try alternative medicine - not for breast cancer - but I'd sure call an alternative doctor.  Both friends' cancer disappeared and they have been cancer-free for more than 12 years.  No side effects like chemo, either.\n\nDr. Nicholas Gonzales in NY,NY is the doc for one of my friends.  She goes for check ups just once a year, so you don't have to live there to be his patient.  If you look him up on the Internet, he doesn't look good.  BUt don't believe everything you read.\n\nBUT, what I know, is that my friend was given NO HOPE with regular medical treatments.  THey were going to take her lung and do aggressive chemo and they didn't expect her to live 4 more months even if they did that.  SO she went to Dr. Gonzales and she credits him with saving her life.\n\nI am not some sort of wierd health-nut, by the way.  I go to regular doctors.  I just know of these 2 friends who were healed by alternative medicine.\n\nGood luck!!

Its true that meditation can progress and stop some specific centers of our brain which can modulate our hormonal level..But this change is so so minimum that it doesn't either  treat any disease per say or make any disease..However it can give you mental peace which shall help you in case  of any bahavioual problems associated with the concerned disease.

It would be better if you learn it from a Yoga teacher as posture, breathing and procedure to do pranayam should be correct.

yes, i am an indian and i have visited some of the ayurveda and yoga centres in southern part of india. Kerela which is one of the southern states of india is a front runner in yoga science and has immensely conributed in the development of yoga. One can immensely benefit from them but a caution of advive, not everyone present there are as knowledgeble as they should be. But if you do your home-work properly, the visit can definetly be fruitful.

Sure yoga helps to cure the back pain. But you should approach a trained yoga instructor. Not the institute mushrooming everywhere.\n\nThe yoga u can see in the TV and all are the physical work outs, which are called hatha yoga. If you want to reap the full benefit out of yoga you should masterise bandhas and Mudras. For that you require strict supervison.\n\nIf you want to know further anything on this kindly write me.\n\nGood luck.

hi. allow me to share with you a couple of  highly effective yoga techniques which a am sure will do u a whole lot of good. \nthe two exercices or "PRANAYAM" as they r widely known, not only cures respiratory illnesses but also takes care of exceessive weigt gain, eyesight and also heart ailments in many patients. people have understood the benefits within weeks of starting these exercises, and i beleive u will 2.\n\n1. sit with an erct posture on the ground. both legs crossed. this is the common position in all yogic asanas. then take a deep breath. this should then be forcefully expelled from your nose by applying force on your stomach. follow this action continuously @ 2/sec. in the beginning do only 30 reps at a stretch. then rest for a while. restart and repeat the cyle for 5-10 times. do not exert yourself. you will succeed gradually. as ur capacity increases do these sets for 10-15 mins daily, increasing the reps and sets accrdng 2 ur convinience\n\n2. after the first exercise, relax. and do this one slowly. inhale air deeply from left nostril while holding the other closed with the thumb of the right hand. after completing the inhalation close the left nostril with right mid finger and exale slowly from the right nostril. follow this with an  inhale from the right and exale from the left using fingers as mentioned. do this task for 10-15 mmins daily.\n\nnote. these exercises need to be done on an empty stomach. so it is important that u havent eaten anything 3-4 hrs prior to doing these exercise. hence early morning is the best time to perform yoga. 1/2 na hour will put u enroute to a life of healthy living

Cancer is an erosion of the genes.. its when free radicals attack the molecular structure of cells and eventually destroy the cell.. it can attack any part of the body but I would say it must come through the blood or vital organs.. which process/carry foods.. I believe cancer is created from ingestion of free radical and toxic additives and preservatives.. apart from the obvious like asbestos which breaks up and then spears the tissue until it bleeds internally and becomes infected then cancerous.. or simply blocks the lungs which become clogged with mucos.. \n\noverall i strongly feel an anti-oxidant rich diet will help heal and avoid cancer.. i am about to go on a major detox.. and a friend of mine is a therapist.. he discovered a herb.. which is currently being "investigated" and tested.. but he claims he administered in trails to numerous patients.. some were completely healed others who were terminal had lengthy life entensions and no pain.. this plant is known to the aboriginal people.. who never get cancer incidently.. look into this.. i cant say the name- my mate will kill me.. but it is found in mercury rich soil.. i know that much.. and is a dar k green plant found in the desert which is very anti-oxidant rich.. a short leafy plant..  there is a simular plant recently discovered in africa too.. and a lot of new herbs and plants are now being checked out.. hopefuly theres still some left to discover.. maybe we should ask the aboriginals .. they might have all the cures we want.. if we listen to them..

Hey nisha,u look pretty puzzled to  me.I've tried this positive  thinking,n similar stuff,but they ACTUALLY don'  help  1  at  all.My funda is ...don' take ur life too  seriously.every body faces problems,u r  not the  only 1,ok.Take life as it comes.U can  not TRANSFORM  urself  completely   by  any of the methods,ok.Hope u've heard somthing about PRANAYAM(similar to YOG ).Try it,n  don' xpect results from day 1.Give it a  year or so.Meditation is the best way to get relaxed .
