Strive For Personal Happiness

July 13, 2008 kindspirit Leave a comment

“Some people would say that you shouldn’t strive for personal happiness until you’ve taken care of everyone in the world who is starving or doesn’t have adequate medical care,” says Howard Cutler, MD, coauthor with the Dalai Lama of The Art of Happiness in a Troubled World. “The Dalai Lama believes you should pursue both simultaneously.

For one thing, there is clear research showing that happy people tend to be more open to helping others. They also make better spouses and parents.” And in one famous study, nuns whose autobiographies expressed positive emotions (such as gratitude and optimism) lived seven to 10-and-a-half years longer than other nuns. So, for any die-hard pessimist who still needs persuading, just think of how much more you can help the world if you allow a little happiness into your life.

Why some smokers don’t get Lung Cancer

April 5, 2008 kindspirit 3 comments
Yes, I am a smoker. And after reading this news article, It still doesn’t change my mind about quiting smoking. I need to quit! For my health and the heath of the people around me. And also the fact that I can save a lot of money each week from not buying cigarettes.

Even if I were one of the select few that don’t get Lung Cancer, that still means nothing to me, and it shouldn’t mean anything to other smokers out there either. Because a lot more things can happen to a smoker, than just Lung Cancer.

Smoking is the most potent known cause of lung cancer. The question is: Why do some longtime smokers come down with the deadly disease whereas others escape it? New research points to a genetic culprit that also was fingered as upping a person’s likelihood of becoming hooked on cigarettes.

Two new studies link a variation in a gene residing on chromosome 15 (of a person’s 23 pairs of chromosomes) to a heightened risk of developing lung cancer; a third study suggests that the same mutation� affects a person’s tendency to become addicted to smokes and, by extension, develop the dreaded disease. Lung cancer is diagnosed in some 200,000 Americans and kills more than 150,000 each year.

The new research—published in both Nature and Nature Genetics—suggests that people with this genetic flaw have a 30 percent greater chance of developing the often-fatal illness. But the studies differ on the potential added risk of addiction.
