5 Unhealthy Mistakes That Make You Age Faster

You may not be a smoker, and you may keep your drinking to a minimum, but that doesn’t quite mean you don’t have any unsavory habits that can negatively affect your health. The truth is, you could be making tons of mistakes that are aging you significantly. Before you reach for the anti-wrinkle cream and skin-firming solutions, you should take a look at the way you’re living today, and how your current actions could be making you look a lot older than you really are. Check to see if you partake in any of these five habits, for you could be aging yourself a lot faster than you think.

1. You aren’t sleeping enough


You’ve heard it a thousand times before — not getting enough sleep is the worst thing in the world for your health, and it can even contribute to diseases later on. You may think you’re fine on the five hours of sleep you got last night, but sleeping too little can do serious damage to your skin, which can make you look way older than you are. According to skin care specialist Annmarie Gianni’s blog, studies have shown those who don’t get quality sleep each night had increased signs of skin aging, including fine lines, uneven pigmentation, and reduced elasticity. For those with acne, getting enough rest is particularly important to preserve a youthful look, as the skin heals when you’re asleep. Start getting at least seven to eight hours per night to ensure youthful skin.

2. You’re eating too much sugar



Sugary drinks and store-bought cookies aren’t just bad for your waistline, they’ll wreak havoc on your looks. Consuming too much processed, sugary food can make your skin look dull. According to research published in 2013, people with the highest blood sugar levels look older. The study involved more than 600 men and women who had no knowledge of their blood sugar levels. A board was asked to guess the age of participants without knowing anything about them, and those who had the highest blood sugar levels were thought to be older.
And consider you may even feel older from the way refined sugars can sap your energy. If you want something sweet, do yourself a favor and reach for the apple instead of the cookie jar.

3. You’re always stressed

If you’re constantly thinking about the groceries you need to buy, the clothes you need to wash, and the deadlines at work you need to hit, then it’s time to take a deep breath and relax. Not only can chronic stress ruin your sleep patterns and increase your risk for heart disease, but it can also make you look 10 years older than you actually are. Stress chemicals are released into your body when you’re always anxious, which slowly results in a more aged appearance, says The Huffington Post.
If your job is what’s stressing you out, then you’ll want to practice some meditation and mini desk workouts to lighten your mood. The same story mentions a 2012 study published to the journal PLOS ONE shows your DNA may actually be affected by the exhaustion and frustrations you experience at work. Those who worked more stressful jobs were more affected, the story explains, which can actually increase the risks for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, Parkinson’s, and cancer.

4. You’re always crash dieting

Crash dieting could be why you look older than you are

If you’re always jumping from diet to diet in the hopes of getting your body to where you want it to be, then it’s best to stop while you’re ahead. Making healthy food choices and exercise are great for wellness, but jumping aboard a crash diet is almost always going to set you up for failure.
These diets can also age you dramatically. According to the Miami Herald, fad eating plans often rob us of essential fats, which our skin needs to help retain moisture. Cutting out food groups is a bad choice, too, because you may not get enough of the antioxidants that protect skin from the sun and other types of damage.

5. You wash your hands and face too much

Washing your hands can age the skin

We all want to have perfect skin and clean hands, but all of that washing can do serious damage to your skin and quickly age you. When it comes to your face, use a gentle cleanser without added fragrance, and this goes for tall skin types. While those prone to acne are likely to reach for the products that have benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to keep their skin issues at bay, these ingredients strip the skin and cause severe dryness and irritation that can lead to wrinkles and a dull, aged look. And don’t forget to moisturize, either.
While you may be more concerned with your face than your hands, your hands show signs of aging, too. Daily Express explains washing your hands over and over again during the day dehydrates them, leading to wrinkly, aged skin. If you find your hands are dry and cracked from all of the washing, try massaging them with cream, then slipping on some gloves. The natural heat of your hands and the barrier from the gloves will allow the cream to penetrate deep into the skin, giving you ultra soft skin.

Lung Cancer Caused By Asbestos, Silica dust, Radon, and Environmental pollutants

Lung cancer, though largely preventable, claims the lives of at least 150,000 people in the United States each year. While approximately 87 percent of victims develop lung cancer from smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke, the remainder of victims—an alarming 19,500 people—develop and die from lung cancer not from tobacco but rather from exposure to dangerous substances, such as asbestos, silica dust, radon, and environmental pollutants.

Smoking and Other Causes of Lung Cancer
The above cited lung cancer figures don't account for victims whose cause of lung cancer may have been misidentified: experts believe that thousands of people who were told their lung cancer was caused by smoking in fact developed the disease because of exposure to a toxic substance.

These lung cancer figures also don't take into consideration people who both smoked and were exposed to harmful substances. According to the Mesothelioma Information and Research Group, studies have shown that smoking increases one's risk of asbestos-related lung cancer by a factor of 10, while asbestos exposure alone increases the risk of lung cancer by a factor of five. But when a smoker is exposed to asbestos, he or she increases his or her lung cancer risk factor by about 50 times. Thus, if you have developed lung cancer, smoking might not be to blame.

Common Symptoms of Lung Cancer

The most common symptoms of lung cancer are as follows:
Persistent cough that worsens over time
Continual chest pains
Coughing up or expectorating blood
Shortness of breath, hoarseness, tightening in the chest
Recurring pneumonia or bronchitis
Inflammation of the face and neck
Unexplained weight loss or loss of appetite
Extreme exhaustion

The lung cancer symptoms mentioned above are the most common experienced by lung cancer patients. If you or a loved one is experiencing similar symptoms, or anything abnormal, it is important to visit a physician for testing.

Diagnosing Lung Cancer
If lung cancer is a distinct possibility, the doctor may analyze sputum under a microscope for signs of cancerous cells. A tissue sample from the lungs is necessary for confirmation, however. The sample can be gathered using one of several different procedures:

Bronchoscopy - A thin tube equipped with a light is inserted in the mouth or nose, passed down through the windpipe, and used to look at the breathing passages. Physicians can also use a bronchoscope to collect small tissue samples.

Needle aspiration - The insertion of a needle into a tumor in order to withdraw fluid and tissue cells.
Thoracentesis - Using a needle to extract a sample of the fluid that surrounds the lungs.
Thoracotomy - Surgery to open the chest cavity is sometimes necessary to diagnose lung cancer.
Staging Lung Cancer
If, upon an analysis of tissue samples, the diagnosis is cancer, the physician will "stage" the disease. This involves determining to which stage of lung cancer the condition has advanced. If the cancer has metastasized to other parts of the body, it will affect the treatment plan. Some of the tests performed to stage lung cancer include: CAT scan, MRI, bone scan, and mediastinoscopy or mediastinotomy (using a scope to view and remove tissue samples from lymph nodes in the chest).

The Stages of Lung Cancer
Early stages of cancer mean that the cancer is restricted to a single organ. A more advanced stage means that the cancer has spread to surrounding organs.

In Stage 0, the cancer is located in an extremely localized area and only affects the first few layers of cells. At this stage, the cancer has not yet progressed beyond the surface lining of a patient's lungs.
In Stage I, the cancer is located only in the patient's lungs and the tissue surrounding the lungs is normal.

In Stage II, the cancer has spread from the lungs and affected the lymph nodes near the lungs.
In Stage III, the cancer has spread to other organs surrounding the lungs, such as the diaphragm and the chest wall. In some cases, the cancer may also spread to separate parts of the lymphatic system.
In Stage IV, the cancer has spread to parts of the body that are not adjacent or near the lungs.

Tests to Determine the Stage of Lung Cancer
There are a number of different tests that enable the doctor to properly determine how much the lung cancer has spread. These tests are covered below.

Computed tomography (CT) scan: A CT scan is conducted by a computer that is connected to an x-ray machine. The scan takes very detailed pictures of the part(s) of the body being evaluated.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): This test utilizes a powerful magnet connected to a computer to take detailed pictures of the part of the body being evaluated.

Radionuclide Scanning: This technique allows the doctor to determine what stage a patient's cancer is in by having her swallow or receive an injection of a low-dose of radioactive material. A special machine will then record the changes in levels of radioactivity in the body.

Bone Scan: This method, during which levels of radioactivity are measured in certain areas of the body, reveals whether cancer has spread to the bones.

Mediastinoscopy/Mediastinotomy: Used to show whether cancer has spread to the lymph nodes in the chest, mediastinoscopy/mediastinotomy requires the doctor to use a bronchoscope to examine the chest and surrounding lymph node, and extract a tissue sample.

Selecting a Lung Cancer Treatment
Using information acquired from tests performed, the physician evaluates different cancer treatment options. Different forms of lung cancer have different stages and the prognosis can vary depending on each particular set of circumstances. In general, the earlier cancer is detected (before it has advanced and spread throughout the body) the better are the chances for successful treatment.

About Lung Cancer and Lung Metastases
Lung cancer is similar to many other forms of cancer. Cancer, which is the uncontrollable division and replication of cells, usually originates in one part of the body. If left untreated most cancer, including lung cancer, may spread, or metastasize, to other parts of the body. This spread of lung metastases makes the cancer much more difficult to treat.

Even if other organs are affected by lung metastases, the lung cancer is still considered to be cancer of the organ where it was first found. For example, if the disease initially develops in the lungs but lung metastases spreads it the brain, lymph nodes, or pancreas, it is still considered to be lung cancer.
As cancer cells replicate, they form growths called tumors. These tumors are malignant, meaning that they invade and destroy surrounding healthy cells and tissue. Once lung metastases of cancer cells spread, they can overpower the healthy or non-cancerous tissue in the body, ultimately resulting in death if not properly treated.

Types of Lung Cancer
Tumors in the lungs are divided into two types: non-small lung cancer and small cell lung cancer.
Non-small cell lung cancer is by far the most common type of lung cancer. It spreads slowly and surfaces as one of three varieties: large cell lung cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma. These types tend to remain isolated in the lungs, meaning lung metastases are less common among them.

Conversely, small cell lung cancer is much more aggressive than non-small lung cancer and rapid formation of lung metastases in other organs in the body is likely. Both types are treatable if caught early, but neither is curable.

Other types of lung cancer include pleural mesothelioma, silicosis, carcinoid tumor, and bronchioalveolar carcinoma.

Contact a Lung Cancer Attorney

If you or someone you love developed lung cancer or a lung disease as a result of exposure to a dangerous substance, you may be entitled to a legal settlement for your condition. To learn about you legal rights, it is important to contact a lung cancer attorney in your state.

Mesothelioma a Cancer Caused by Asbestos

The internal organs of the human body are encased in a protective sac called the mesothelium. Examples of mesothelilial membranes are the peritoneum (abdominal organs), pleura (lungs), and pericardium (heart). 
Under specific conditions, the cells of the protective membrane divide uncontrolled and become cancerous. This disease is termed as Mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer which is caused by prolonged exposure to asbestos dust.
The disease is found to occur among those who work in shipyards, asbestos mines and factories, industries that produce asbestos based products, and the heating and construction businesses. Approximately 3,000 cases occur each year in the US, and most patients are between 50-70 years old. Statistics show that males are commonly affected and among them whites more than African Americans.
First studied in the late 1700s in depth studies were only done in the 1960s. Tumors of the Mesothelioma can be benign or malignant. The malignant Mesothelioma are categorized into three types:
  • Epithelioid, accounting for 50-70% of mesotheliomas.
  • Sarcomatoid, accounting for 7-20%.
  • Mixed or bi-phasic, accounting for 20-35%.
When asbestos fibers are breathed into the lungs they travel through large air passages to reach the smaller passages and from them the pleura. In the pleura they damage: the mesothelial cells leading to cancer; lung tissue causing lung cancer; and the development of scar tissue within the lungs known as asbestosis. When asbestos fibers are swallowed they reach the abdominal cavity and cause peritoneal mesothelioma. 
Research reveals that the disease only manifests 20-50 years after being exposed to asbestos dust. The symptoms are not specific to the disease but a patient may develop:
  • Breathlessness
  • Chest pain accompanied by tightness believed to be caused by accumulation of fluid in the pleura.
  • Low back pain
  • Swelling of face and arms
  • Sensory loss
  • Muscle weakness
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Weight loss that is unexplained.
  • Persistent dry cough
  • Sore throat
  • Anemia
  • Fever
  • Constipation
  • Problems with blood clotting.
Since the above are common to minor ailments, patients often ignore the symptoms. It is advisable to consult a doctor if any of the above symptoms persist or if you feel you have been knowingly or unknowingly exposed to asbestos. 
A doctor will:
  • Take down a detailed medical history and try and determine the symptoms and risk factors.
Do a thorough physical examination and check for signs of:
  • Pleural effusion, fluid accumulated in the chest cavity.
  • Fluid in the abdominal cavity.
  • Pericardial effusion, fluid in the lining of the heart.
  • Take a chest x-ray and check for thickening of the pleura, calcifications, and lowered lung fissures.
  • Ask for a CT scan to determine clearly the location, size, and extent of the problem if any is suspected.
  • Recommend tests of tissue samples and pleural fluids.
Other risk factors are cigarette or cigar smoking, exposure to radiation, exposure to zeolite a compound that is similar to asbestos, exposure to or infections caused by SV40, a Simian virus. 
Those who work in a risky environment should wear protective clothing, have the surroundings tested regularly for suspended asbestos particles, and ensure that they have regular medical tests and report to the doctor any ailments that persist.
Being aware of the disease and its problems helps.

Is Masturbation Good or Bad For You?

Masturbation remains taboo despite the hypersexual climate we live in. Whether you whack your weed or polish the pearl, you’ve probably been told it’s unhealthy and can even cause blindness and infertility. But can some self-love actually be good for your health? In AsapSCIENCE’s video, “Is Masturbation Good For You?” hosts Mitchell Moffit and Gregory Brown, alongside Rachel Salt, explain there are many benefits to reap from feeling ourselves, from reducing menstrual cramps to reducing cancer.

Most men and women masturbate in their lives, with 95 percent of men and around 72 percent of women admitting it, according to AsapSCIENCE. Contrary to popular belief, masturbation is not for single people. Seventy percent of men and 40 percent of women in relationships reported masturbating within the four weeks leading up to a recent survey. Self-love can boost the health of men and women, even lending a helping hand in the bedroom.

For example, endorphins released during an orgasm can decrease our perception of pain, especially reducing menstrual cramping for women. With the help of the hormone prolactin, which is linked to sleep, women are more likely to feel exhausted and get a good night’s sleep.
Meanwhile, men can also benefit from masturbating by reducing the occurrence of a cold and the risk of prostate cancer. A study found components of the immune system are activated during masturbation, increasing the number of white blood cells in the bloodstream. Male solo sessions might also help reduce prostate cancer due to high ejaculation frequency. Researchers hypothesize that increased ejaculation means potential carcinogenic secretions in the prostate excreted more regularly, decreasing their negative impact on the body.


Masturbation can do more than boost your health, it can also give you a helping hand in the bedroom. Stroking the penis or clitoris can activate the bulbocavernosis reflex, resulting in pelvic muscles contracting. This is basically a workout for your sex muscles. Masturbation can help maintain nitric oxide levels (known to diminish with age) in your blood throughout your life.

What commonly known as mesothelioma lung cancer in most cases, or pericardial or pleural mesothelioma. Pericardial Mesothelioma mesothelium lining of the heart influences, but cancer is known to spread from there into the lining of the lungs. Otherwise, this type of lung cancer almost always pleural mesothelioma. The pleura is the responsibility to keep the walls of our chest and lung membrane. About 60 percent of all cases are pleural mesothelioma, while the other two form the desired percentage. It is essentially lung mesothelioma, more specifically, the lining of the lung. It is believed that exposure to asbestos is the central cause of all types of mesothelioma. It is the most common form of mesothelioma.

People who have been exposed to asbestos and smoking, also a dangerous way for many mesothelioma. Symptoms of pleural mesothelioma include weight loss, chest pain, shortness of breath and lumps in the breast area. The breathing may be affected and even painful. It is seen a difficult cancer mainly because the symptoms are similar to many other conditions. A complete examination, including CT scans and even a biopsy is needed, whether the patient really confirm pleural mesothelioma.

The survival rates are, the earlier the better are the more connected at the time of detection. In such cases, surgery is an option, as is to eliminate the target all observable tumors in the affected areas. Chemotherapy is with its main objective of narrowing started any remaining tumors that are not removed. Radiation can be used as a way to be used to relieve the symptoms of pleural mesothelioma. Patients who are younger and healthier usually undergo aggressive treatments of all three methods. In cases where cancer shipping in remission, the likelihood of recurrent mesothelioma is very high. Research and new techniques have been looking to improve patients' lives and quality of life, even though there is no cure for mesothelioma. Dr. David Sugarbaker with other first physicians in different countries have research at the forefront of mesothelioma.

How many percent is Lung Cancer Survival Rate

Several factors affect lung cancer survival rates. The type of cancer plays the stage where they, in the diagnosis and general condition of the patients a role in determining survival Cancer survival is usually described as a survival rate of five years, so the percentage of cancer patients who survive at least five years and diagnosed after cancer is, is expressed.

Studies have shown that the five year survival rate for patients with NSCLC as a function of the scene. Level 0 patients have better chances of survival, nearly 50 percent five years. About a quarter of the stage II patients survive five years compared to eight percent of patients with stage III and only two percent of patients in stage IV. In general, tends NSCLC, lead rapidly to the deadly disease. Ten to fifteen percent of patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer and between one and two percent of those affected to survive from the big stage cancer five years.

The estimates of cancer survival do not reflect the current progress in the treatment, which can lead to a better chance of survival because they usually calculated for a period of five years, which does not include the previous year. In addition, each treatment of a patient reacts in a unique way; No aggregated estimates for each factor, improve or worsen the chances of survival can be dispensed with.

The total number of deaths in the United States of lung cancer was increased in the 1980s, and began to fall for men in the 1990s, however, a similar decrease was not observed in women. More than fifty thousand current and former smokers were enrolled in the National Lung Screening Trial, whether undertaken incidence of lung cancer chest X-rays before the symptoms and CT scans can an early diagnosis and therefore the chances of survival.

Mesothelioma survival rates

Peritoneal mesothelioma is a cancer of the lining of the stomach by prolonged exposure to asbestos. Thousands of lawsuits are treated each year dealing with the issue of peritoneal mesothelioma and its effects. Symptoms of mesothelioma may not appear until 30-50 years after exposure to asbestos. Shortness of breath and chest pain due to an accumulation of fluid in the pleural space are often symptoms of pleural mesothelioma. 

Other symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma include loss of appetite, nausea and abdominal swelling. Liquid collects usually in the abdominal cavity causing swelling and pain. Symptoms can be very serous be over time, because the swelling is to refer to the surrounding organs and too much pain large force.

If they. At an early stage, when survival is diagnosed as dependent advanced cancer at time of diagnosis Treatment with radiation or chemotherapy, and early detection can be a great help. In fact, this treatment a patient can survive for a long time. 

Often when cancer is detected early and treated aggressively, almost half of patients whose cancer earlier discovered Black hit by two years, and about 20% survive five years. For peritoneal mesothelioma, patients are often told that they do not live in the situation, more than a year. But peritoneal mesothelioma specialists in major cancer centers around the world, often report better statistics on the basis of clinical trials has made it was presented.
