If You share this, you may save at least one life. Let's say it's 6: 15 p. m. and you're driving home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated.

Suddenly, you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home; unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far.

What can you do? You've been trained in CPR but the guy that taught the course neglected to tell you how to perform it on yourself. Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed to be in order.

Without help, the person whose heart stops beating properly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough. The cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. And a cough must be repeated about every 2 seconds without let up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this, it could save their lives!

Medical Info: Cancer 

Please note the following :

Not all cancers are the same. 1/3 is curable. 1/3 is preventable.

2 factors of cancer that may not be controlled are Age & Family History 

Causes of Cancer 

1.Smoking is very often the main cause of cancer.

It kills us silently and drains money from us quietly. There're 4,000 harmful chemicals (though in diluted form) in one stick of cigarette. Taking one puff is 600 times worse than inhaling exhaust fumes from vehicles.

2.Some foods that cause cancer is :

a.Barbecued Food

b.Deep Fried Food

c.Overheating Meat

d.Food that is high in fat causes our bile to secrete acid that contains a chemical which is a promoter of cancer cells.

e.Food that contains preservatives, too much salt or nitrates, e.g. canned food, salted egg & veggies, sausages, etc.

f. Overnight Rice (where Aflatoxin is accumulated)

g.Food that is low in fibre : Our body needs 25gm of both soluble & insoluble fibre daily. We must drink at least 1.5 litres of plain water a day.

h.Contaminated Food (e.g. moulded bread causes our body to secrete toxins that may eventually lead to liver cancer in the long run. Never eat bread that is kept in room temperature for more than 2 days especially in a humid weather.)

3.Types of fat and which is the best?

Highly Recommended for Health :

a.Olive Oil - It does not absorb in our body.

b.Fish Oil - Omega 3 (contained in NI's Circulates) has poly-unsaturated fat. It's good for our brain cells.

c.Peanut Oil - It contains Vitamin E. A small dosage is recommended only.

4.Not Recommended for Health

a.Vegetable Fat - Palm oil is worse than coconut oil. It is high in cholesterol and highly unsaturated.

b.Coconut Oil - It has saturated fat.

5.Specific Food & Beverages

a.Egg when eaten too much can cause High Colon Cancer, Risk Ovary Cancer, Prostate Cancer.

b.Cabbage is highly recommended for health reason.

c.Tomato is best eaten raw with a bit of olive oil for better absorption. Other alternative is to take tomato sauce.

d.Coffee is good because it contains 2 anti-oxidants. Inhale coffee aroma for half each day is equivalent to eating 2 oranges a day. However, the residue of over-burned coffee is extremely bad for health. It can cause cancer.

e.Tea, as long as it is in its original tealeaves and not processed into BOH or Lipton packets, it is good for health. Tea contains 30 anti-oxidants. Recommended dosage is 2-3 cups a day.

Exercise and be Fit 

Have a balanced lifestyle. Exercise regularly.

F: Frequency: 3 to 5 times a week.

I : Intensity: Exercise till we sweat and breath deeply.

T: Types of exercises : Find one that suits our age, lifestyle...

Have Regular Check-up. Once we reach the age of 45 & above, it is recommended that we go for regular comprehensive health examination.

Early detection may save lives.
