  • Finding faith in few words

    14/02/2012 : If God is great and benevolent, why does s/he cause pain and calamity to Earth in the form of natural disaster? Those who cannot find answers turn to the probable empirical evidence called science that to some certain extent demystifies natural phenomena.

  • HEALTH4ALLCaring for the elderly

    14/02/2012 : More than half of my heart patients are above the age of 65. This doesn't come as a surprise since heart diseases usually come with advancing years; the older you are, the higher the risk. But in the not-too-distant future I expect that most of my patients will be 75, or older, because people are now living longer and this increased longevity means that our society contains a greater proportion of elderly citizens.

  • HEALTH FOR ALL

    Controlling your cholesterol

    03/01/2012 : It is a widely accepted theory that high cholesterol causes heart disease, so many food brands are trying to advertise themselves as "healthy" by adding "cholesterol free" labels on their line of products. But if you look carefully you will see that they are usually products that are not made from animal fat to begin with (all dietary cholesterol comes from animal fat, not vegetable fat), like potato crisps, so the "cholesterol free" label is completely a non-issue; there's no way potato crisps can contain cholesterol unless they are deep-fried in animal fat. Therefore, you should look at the amount of calories in each serving instead.
