Diabetes - A Global Epidemic
When you hear the word epidemic, you may likely think of diseases that plague thousands of people in less developed countries far away. However, epidemics are not exclusive to such places. In fact, the world’s most widespread epidemics strike a lot closer to home than what you may think.
An epidemic defined is a disease that has come to affect a large portion of a given population. The exact parameters differ among experts but a good estimation puts the number at around 3% of a population. If the number of people affected by the disease reaches this number, it can be considered an epidemic.
Given this definition, people living in developed countries of the world are not exempt from a growing global epidemic – one that has seen little attention until recently.
Diabetes is now considered an epidemic that is affecting not just a select number of countries but the entire globe. It joins a short, but unfortunately, growing list of diseases of which, HIV/AIDS is part of.

Introduction To Cellulite
In our never ending search for the illusive “Fountain of Youth,” nothing strikes a chord like the term “cellulite.” Interestingly, the term “cellulite” was first introduced to us by a fashion magazine. That fact is sufficient to generate speculation among opposing sides to this controversial subject.
What we endeavor to present here is an overview of the facts surrounding “cellulite” with an eye toward education. We make no recommendations nor endorsements as to the efficacy of any products that may be mentioned, nor do we recommend or endorse any particular treatments that we might discuss.
We hope to present the pros and cons of the arguments and allow you to make your own determination and course of action.
It is interesting to note that nearly two decades ago, The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) stated that "there is no medical condition known or described as cellulite in this country.”
Because there is no official medical term for the conditions, does that mean that there can be a “cure?” Apparently so, as evidenced by the thousands of products and procedures available to combat the condition.

Immunizing Your Child
How Effective or Ineffective Are Vaccines?
Despite the use of vaccines in providing added immunity to the body, there are still a number of people who view them otherwise. To them, vaccines are unnecessary and, in fact, sources of harmful body damage. Contradictions against vaccination have been around for many years.
The Case of Thimerosal
There are a couple of vaccines that contain the substance called thimerosal. These vaccines are administered to young children. They are utilized to add immunity against diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, and influenza. Starting from 1997, thimerosal utilization is starting to diminish in a number of industrialized countries following the recommendation of different health authorities. However, there are still trace amounts of chemicals discovered in some vaccines.

How to Diagnose Obesity
How can you tell if Your Child is Obese?
In the past, obesity was regarded as an "adult" problem, and children were often regarded as safe from the ill effects of being a little "plump". The general rule most parents seemed to follow was that their children would outgrow any weight problems, and eventually their bodies would become more "normal" once adolescence was reached. However, obesity in children today is a fully acknowledged problem, and a growing health hazard that threatens to make the next generation's weight problems make our own seem mild by comparison. To help protect your child from this, you have to be able to diagnose the problem early. Standards of obesity differ from adults to children, so know what to watch out for.
What is Obesity?
Obesity isn't just being overweight. A person can have more body mass than is recommended for his or her height and bone structure yet still be healthy, IF the excess mass is more muscle tissue and healthy internal organs than anything else. Obesity, rather, is when a person's percentage of body fat is much higher than it should be.

Decisions Before Baby Arrives
Circumcision
Caring for Your Circumcised Baby
Circumcision is the act of cutting the foreskin of the penis, a fold of skin that protects the glans – which is the bell shaped head of the penis. Circumcision is usually done for religious, cultural, or hygienic purposes and is usually performed a few days after a child’s birth.
Caring for such a condition can cause an undue amount of stress for parents. They naturally worry for the child’s safety and fret over any discomfort the child may feel. Unfortunately, they are at a loss for how to deal with their newly circumcised child.
Taking care of a newly circumcised infant is a challenge; this guide hopes to make that challenge a little more manageable.
The act of circumcision exposes the glans to the environment. By nature, the glans is a smooth mucous membrane and is sensitive to touch. Upon circumcision, the glans gradually dries up making it tougher and scalier. This is what contributes to the normal appearance of a circumcised penis.

INTRODUCTION
Ever since Eve took that first bite of the apple, the human race has been obessed with beauty. Granted, each civilization has had it's own own definition of what attributes are used to define beauty.
Ancient Egyptian women AND men used various natural pigments to color their bodies in an attempt to appear more favorably to the “gods.” Headdresses and jewelry have adorned peoples throughout history with the expectation that these items might improve their appearance.
Roman, Grecian, Arabic and Hindi women used henna to color their hair and tattoo their bodies. The historical artwork of Botticelli depicts women as rounded as cherubs.
Interestingly, current trends toward body piercing and tattooing are nothing new but merely a resurgence of historical practices.

What is a Disaster?
Disasters: Why No one’s Really 100% Safe
This is common knowledge—that disaster is everywhere. It’s in the streets, it’s inside your campuses, and it can even be found inside your home. The question is not whether we are safe (because no one is really THAT secure anymore) but whether we can do something to lessen the odds of ever becoming a victim.
First, what is a disaster, anyway? By definition, a disaster is any catastrophe or tragedy that occurs (can also be identified as a destruction or calamity). That doesn’t sound good at all, does it? We should be alarmed at the mere mention of this term and we have good reasons to be because there are so many kinds of disaster.
Name it and it has it. Think of the natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, flood, tornadoes, tsunamis, cyclones, or even fire and, you wouldn’t want this last one, aggression.
Accept the fact that these calamities are in all places. There are areas that are more prone to tornadoes or earthquakes and there are also some that are more exposed to cyclones...
