Avoid “Deadly Diabetes”

Simple Tricks to Avoid a “Deadly” Diabetes, Say Doctors Now (msn.com)

You can have diabetes and love a long life, managing it—but it’s also deadly, one of the leading causes of death in America. Why is it so dangerous? “Diabetes is the condition in which the body does not properly process food for use as energy,” says the CDC.

Slide 3 of 7: "Excess weight is the single most important cause of type 2 diabetes," according to the Harvard T.H. Chan School for Public Health. "Being overweight increases the chances of developing type 2 diabetes seven-fold. Being obese makes you 20 to 40 times more likely to develop diabetes than someone with a healthy weight. Losing weight can help if your weight is above the healthy-weight range. Losing 7-10% of your current weight can cut your chances of developing type 2 diabetes in half."

Alcohol Use And These Kinds Of Cancers

A new cancer study was published July 13 in the peer-reviewed journal, The Lancet Oncology, conducted by a group of researchers from mental health and cancer research institutions in the U.S., Canada, France, and Nigeria. In it, the research team asserted that alcohol consumption is rising in countries in China, India, Vietnam, and many countries in sub-Saharan Africa. They added that globally, 6.3 million individuals died in 2020 from cancers of the esophagus, throat, larynx, colon, rectum, liver, and breast (this applied to breast cancer in women, though men can get breast cancer, too).

Slide 3 of 51:            This brightly colored crustacean is a Peacock mantis shrimp. The females tend to be mainly red, but the males display these enchanting colors. They use an extremely fast punch to kill their prey — one of the fastest movements in the animal kingdom and forceful enough to break through an aquarium's glass wall.

Slide 6 of 51:            Up close with a crinoid — a marine animal related to sea stars and sea urchins. They are sometimes referred to as living fossils, because they have been around for about 450 million years and can still be found in the oceans today. This photo was taken in a coral reef in the Northern Mariana Islands.
