Swap bad fat for good fat!

Do you know the difference between good fat and bad fat? Do you eat too much saturated fat? Research shows that eating too much saturated fat increases your risk of heart disease and leads to many premature deaths from heart problems. So what can we do and how can we change our diets?

Bad fats or saturated fats can be found in foods like crisps, pizzas, cheese and cakes. Good fats are found in in foods like avocados, salmon and nuts.

Include	Limit
Polyunsaturated, Monounsaturated and Omega-3	Saturated & Trans-fats
·         non-fried fish (salmon, flounder, herring, sardines)	·         whole milk dairy products
·         olive oil, flax oil	·         high fat animal meat (marbled beef, bacon, sausage)
·         nuts/nut butters	·         butter & margarine
·         flax seed (in moderation)	·         French fries & other deep-fried foods
·         wheat germ	·         partially hydrogenated oils in pastries, crackers, processed foods
·         avocado
Plant based and medium chain triglyceride rich
·         coconut oil, coconut milk

Although there is a difference in the properties of the different types of fat, if you are trying to lose weight you should bear in mind that all fats have the same calories per gram. If eating to excess any type of fat – good or bad – will lead to an increase in weight.

Moderation of the right type of fat is key and these should be consumed as part of a balanced diet. The recommended guidelines for daily fat and saturated fat intake are as the table below. So the key is to limit the bad fat and swap it for good fat although stick to the recommended daily amounts to avoid an increase in weight. By eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly you will significantly reduce your risk of heart disease.

Does High Blood Pressure Catalyse Diabetes?

The perils of high blood pressure are well documented in modern healthcare but of course, not all side effects are commonly evident. Smoking, excessive stress, weight issues, salt intake and genetics are all common catalysts for irregular blood pressure but in additional to the cause, there is of course the unwanted side effects of ill health. It’s been suspected that blood pressure has a considerable effect on the prevalence of diabetes for some time and now Oxford University have stepped forward with new evidence.

Taking into account over 4.1 million individuals, the study found that people with high blood pressure have a 60% higher risk of developing diabetes in their lifetime than those without. The focal goal of the study was to find a remedy to the near epidemic levels of diabetes sweeping the contemporary western world. If we can find a way to keep people’s blood pressure at a healthy rate then we can also hugely reduce the number of people at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

The specialists involved with the study were also keen to see if people using drugs to reduce their blood pressure were less at risk of developing the metabolic disease. Despite the strong indications, Professor Kazem Rahimi who acts as deputy director of the George Institute for Global Health UK at the university assured study recipients that “We can’t say for certain that one causes the other, but this study helps to connect the dots, showing that if you have high blood pressure there is a significantly greater chance of developing diabetes.”

Despite the lack of clarification, this study still gives medical experts a reassuring push towards identifying early risk factors that may lead to diabetes. Professor Rahimi further reiterated this when he commented “At a minimum we know for certain that the link exists” as well as “In particular researchers can now look at whether lowering blood pressure is an effective treatment or reduces the risk of getting diabetes.”

Here’s to an optimistic future of research and the eradication of diabetes!

Is Chocolate Really Good for You?

Is chocolate good for you? It’s a ubiquitous question that is almost always met with a disappointing answer... until now.

First of all, Cardiacare will be the first to tell you that excessive consumption of ANYTHING is a terrible idea, especially sugary snacks. With that said, there are cases where a decadent treat can have beneficial effects on the health of the individual. Chocolate has long been debated in terms of healthcare and the general rule of thumb favours intermittent enjoyment of pure dark chocolate and general avoidance of novelty chocolate bars.

If dark chocolate makes you baulk and you’d much rather have dairy milk then that may not be so bad according to a new study by University of Aberdeen health experts. In a study which saw more than 20,000 middle aged and elderly people participate, the outcome indicated that people who ate a “small bar a day” had an 11% decrease in risk of cardiovascular disease and most surprising, a 23% lesser risk of stroke.How is this possible?

First of all, the study was noble enough to point out that chocolate does NOT make you healthier. Secondly, this study was entirely observational so the biological details (cause and effect) could not be disclosed as to why people who ate chocolate were suffering less cardiovascular issues over the 12 year test period.

Interestingly enough, the people surveyed who did consume chocolate daily (up to 100g) “tended to be younger, have a lower weight, waist to hip ratio, and blood pressure” alongside lower levels of diabetes and increased physical productivity. If anything this means the people who eat chocolate a more carefree, easy going and physically active personalities while those who avoid chocolate altogether likely live quite an idle, anxious life. This is of course just a blind assumption based on vague figures but it’s an encouraging study which indicates that life’s little treats can be enjoyed IN MODERATION.

To read more about this study you can take a look at the original article here on BBC News.

Tesco Tone Down The Sugar

Following the news that Tesco will be cutting the sugar content in their own brand fizzy soft drinks, many celebrated this decision and it seems to have got people thinking again about how much sugar they consume on a daily basis. It’s no secret that fizzy pop is notorious for excessive sugar content with some drinks containing as much as eleven tea spoons of sugar per 330ml serving but manufacturers are beginning to buckle. It’s all well and good to get that ‘sugar high’ but when it starts to severely impact the health and development of young people and adults – you've got a major issue.

Thankfully Tesco claim that this decrease in sugar content isn't a one off change and they will strive to lower the levels by 5% year on year as they ease the population into a better diet. This also means they have a longer period of time to drop the sugar content without causing significant impact in flavour or quality.

If you are struggling to wean yourself off fizzy drinks, consider the following gradual solutions...

• ·         Water It Down

Adding water to your fizzy pop helps maintain the flavour but also cuts out a lot of the calories and sugar you would have consumed from drinking it whole. The water will also help hydrate you and keep you trim.

• ·         Start a Treat Diary

Keep track of your daily consumption and work out when you deserve or can have a fizzy drink. If you’ve been cutting down on sugar and calories in other aspects of your diet then maybe you can justify that can of coke with dinner.

• ·         Natural Substitutes

There are plenty of natural drinks and foods out there which will satisfy your sweet tooth without forcing you to resort to artificial slosh. Look for fresh fruit juices without artificial sweeteners or ingredients, they may still contain a lot of sugar but these will be naturally occurring and less likely to contain a large calorie mass. Sparkling water with a slice of lime, lemon or orange can also help calm your desire for fizzy liquids.

Sly Workplace Workouts

If you don’t have access to the gym and your local surroundings leave you uninspired, cardiovascular workouts can be rather dull. Despite this, working out at home or even at work during breaks needn't be a tiresome chore. Simple, breezy exercises can be fun and also help you stay on top of weight management in a largely idle lifestyle such as office work. Why not try quick bursts of the following?

·         Lunges

Not only are lunges good fun but they also have a playful element to them too. If you get caught lunging around in the changing room or outside during a work break, chances are you can just laugh it off and people will want to join in. Read here how to pull off a perfect lunge.

·        Marching

Marching is incredibly beneficial and again, plenty of fun if you do it to music in quick five minute bursts. Find a spacious spot and march in place consistently for five minutes while bringing your knees up to your waist (if you can!) every time. This will work your thighs, hips, abdominal and buttock muscles and you’ll feel fantastic once you get in the swing of things. Try and repeat this twice a day and you’ll slowly but surely build up stamina and strength.

·         Squats

Another great work out that can be completed in 5-6 minutes in a stationary position. Squatting will tone your hips and offer an efficient build up to lower strength you never thought attainable. We recommend doing as many reps as you can in 30 second bursts over several minutes. Try and keep symmetrical and sturdy and lower yourself as much as possible before getting back up.

Perks of Water

Health experts, tabloids, broadsheets, your parents... if there’s one thing they’ve all been telling us for years it’s to stay hydrated. With the rise in junk food culture and fizzy pop substitutes, it can be difficult to convince even grown adults that they really should be drinking water instead. It’s not uncommon to encounter people in their 60s still hooked on their daily swig of coca cola, we’ve all grown up with it but only you can take a healthy turn for the better. So, why is water beneficial? 

•          Internal Transportation

Water is essential in just about every factor of your body’s inner processes, not surprising when you consider it composes 60% of us. It keeps your blood cells healthy and flowing, it transports nutrients and oxygen around the body and it’s also a great catalyst in the digestion and excursion of waste. You wouldn’t travel by boat without water would you? Don’t leave your biological vessel high and dry. 

•          Skin

Water is essential for the maintenance of healthy skin, which again is largely composed of moisture. Those who neglect hydration or drink excessive amounts of diuretics are likely to suffer from dried out skin and premature signs of aging. Keeping your skin soft needn’t be a chore, and while moisturisers can help maintain a level of skin hydration, its water you need to form that initial foundation. 

•          Cerebral Power

Not to imply drinking water will give you superman levels of intellect but it’s undeniable that without water, you simply won’t reach your mental peak. The brain is mostly comprised of water (notice a pattern here?) and drying it out like a sponge will only put it under unnecessary duress. By keeping hydrated you’ll aid concentration, alertness and creativity. 

•          Weight Loss

When people find themselves peckish in between meals, the reality is they’re probably just a little dehydrated. Fight the urge to tear open a bag of crisps and drink some water. It’ll fill you up, remove by- products of fat, improve your metabolism and keep your body occupied until you really are hungry. Then there’s the obvious fact it has no calories whatsoever so you can never feel guilty about drinking too much!

 

There are many more obvious perks of water so feel free to share your tips.

Channel Island Co-Op Society to place defibrillators

The Channel Islands Co-op Society is paving the way for other well-known retail brands in regards to providing for public health needs. The company is planning to place defibrillators in 12 of their stores across in Jersey. The first defibrillator was installed in St Helier Grand Marche on the 16th of December, with the rest of the devices will be fitted within the next few weeks.

Staff who work in the branches have been thoroughly trained by St Johns Ambulance on how to use the heart restarting devices correctly. The service has provided 92 hours of training to Society colleagues.

Even though the stores reside on a relatively small island of Jersey, the devices were desperately needed for areas where an ambulance cannot reach quickly.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Society, commented on the project ‘There is nothing more precious than life and if sudden cardiac arrest occurs, anyone can help save a life with this equipment. We live on a relatively small Island but in the event of a cardiac arrest, each and every second counts until the ambulance arrives. A great deal of work has been put into ensuring that all of our food stores will have accessible defibrillators 24/7 and our colleagues in store are comfortable using them, should the need arise.’

How 3D printing can revolutionise the medical field

The healthcare industry is rapidly evolving its efforts into 3D printing. From advanced prosthetic limbs and using cells to print organs, experimental headway is being made within the industry.

Technology has always been a present feature in the medical field, and even more so now that bio printing has stormed ahead at the forefront of technological advances. To put it simply, bio printing works when cells are fused together with hydrogel to create tissue.

At the moment bio printing is just that, experimental, and many of the experiments underway still have progress to be made. The majority of projects developed over the past year still need to figure out how to apply their findings to humans. As a fairly new market it can be difficult to gauge exactly where it is going to go. Nonetheless there are two advancements this year which have captivated the medical community.

A company called Organov has already successfully printed sheets of cardiac tissue and blood vessels that beat along, just like any normal heart would. This could be game-changing for humans in the future.

Scientists at MIT have long been experimenting with bio printing, and Sangeeta Bhatia’s team have created miniature human livers. The human livers were created in a lab, and contain approximately a million cells. It seems that synthetic organs could not be far off.

Schools eligible to receive life-saving equipment!

Northern Irish schools will soon benefit from a new initiative, announced the Education Minister this month. Schools all over Northern Ireland will be eligible to receive vital life-saving equipment, including defibrillators, on top of the current first aid system in place, as a result of the new scheme.

The plan will affect both Primary School and Secondary schools up and down the country, although the new scheme won’t be completely free for those involved. It’s speculated that contracts will be available to receive training at reduced costs to ensure the proper steps are taking when using the machines. Schools will also receive a hefty discount on the machines themselves. Any school which decides to opt-in to the additional level of first aid will be strongly supported by health professionals.

The proposed plan won’t just affect schools though; the aim of the scheme is to provide defibrillators in 43,000 public places at a cost of over 100 million Euros.

Launching the new guidelines, John O’Dowd said: “Thankfully, the incidence of cardiac arrest in under-18s is very low” and added “however we know that in such circumstances the most effective treatment is CPR combined with the use of a defibrillator. This significantly improves survival rates.”

The scheme is also spreading out to areas where the risk of cardiac arrest is highest, such as leisure facilities and training grounds. The devices will be available at such locations and other heavily populated areas.

It’s great to see another city which has a strong focus on the health of the public.

The Shard becomes the new home of a defibrillator

The Shard welcomed almost one million visitors through its door during the first year of the opening to the public, and popularity has continued to steadily grow for the tourist attraction. Not content with being a beloved feature in London, they also want to become one of the safest, so much so they have recently become the new home of a defibrillator - which is the highest device in the whole of Western Europe.

The operations director of The Shard, Sandy Clarke has urged for "every business in London to get a defibrillator installed. If we can install one at one of the highest points in Europe, then anyone can do it!"

The director added "we know that having this equipment and properly trained staff to use it could help us save a life in the future."

The newly installed device is part of the London Ambulance Service's Shockingly Easy campaign, which has been taking the city by storm. The primary aim of the scheme is to fit over 1000 defibrillators across London. The scheme will be focusing on public areas such as businesses, retail areas, sports facilities and high footfall areas.







The campaign also provides support to organisations, and will help businesses through the process of purchasing and installing a defibrillator, staff training and becoming accredited with the London Ambulance Service.


Seeing such an attraction like The Shard investing in a defibrillator is a big step, and hopefully we could soon see other major players follow their lead.

Defibrillators Open Job Opportunities!

A Belfast company has created more than 40 jobs in the name of "making defibrillators as common as fire extinguishers” as said by the chief executive of HeartSine Technology. Declan O’Mahoney is focusing on portable defibrillators and says he wants to double the sales of the existing product over the next 3 years.

The 40 new jobs will contribute around 1.3 million a year to the economy. Mr O’Mahoney is dedicated to the cause, stating “Around 100,000 people die from sudden cardiac arrest in the UK and Ireland each year, a couple of hundred die in fires," he said.

The positions opening are in a wide array of sectors, from senior management, product development, quality control, customer service, sales and manufacturing. The company has stated they wish to employ those who live in the local area to help the area with jobs.

"Yet there is a fire extinguisher or a smoke alarm in every public building. Our products are already in schools, restaurants, churches, sports clubs and even oil rigs and I want to make sure they are in every public building in the same way that fire extinguishers are.”
He also added “Our objective is to strength our workforce in Belfast so that we can double sales of our existing product portfolio, in our target markets over the next 3 years”

It’s great to see a company put so much work into making defibrillators a common item for citizens.

Internal Defibrillators Can Reduce Heart Failure By 40%

New guidelines have emerged from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (more commonly known as NICE) meaning that more patients who suffer from potentially fatal heart conditions will now be eligible to have internal defibrillators fitted. The association of British Healthcare Industries has estimated that the change could cut death from heart failure by up to 40 per cent nationwide.

Up until this point, patients have been receiving preventive treatment measures such as beta-blockers - however it has been well noted that these will not help a patient if any abnormal heart activity occurs, they only regulate heart activity to begin with.

Before the new guideline was put in place, those eligible for the devices were patients who have suffered from ventricular tachycardia, a leading cause of cardiac death. The treasurer for the British Society of Heart Failure stated

‘There have been many clinical trials over the past five or six years that have demonstrated this will save lives,’

The devices are miniature versions of regular defibrillators, and will be placed under the skin with wires connected to the heart. When an irregular heartbeat occurs the device will deliver an electric shock to return the heartbeat to normal.

Gately's Family Back Defibrillator Scheme

The family of Boyzone singer Stephen Gately has come out and publicly backed the healthcare campaign currently being run by the Evening News. The campaign is focused on bringing a defibrillator to every Lothians sports club and leisure centre.

When pop star Stephen tragically died in 2009, his friends, family and fans from all over the world were devastated, and his death touched the hearts of many of us here in the UK. The sudden cause of death was revealed on autopsy, and was revealed to be caused by a genetic heart condition - which had gone unnoticed his whole life. After his death, the family found ways to cope and one of the many ways was to back the Shockingly Easy campaign, in doing so, they joined Jamie Skinners family in the race to find ways to prevent these tragedies affecting others.

Stephens’ family said in a heart wrenching statement “I want no other family to go through what ours has” and added “I can’t put into words how I feel about the loss of Stephen. It’s something that is with me every day”.

Stephens’ particular heart condition was difficult to detect during his life, however since the tragedy his siblings are undergoing genetic tests to see if they also carry the illness.

She finally added “[These conditions] are silent killers” We can only offer our good thoughts to those affected by Stephens’ death, and give our support to the campaign. The campaign will hopefully give the family and those close to Stephen some peace of mind.

Charitable Couple Help Village

Weddings are normally lavish occasions, rich with food, gifts and family. However, one couple have decided to do things a little differently for their special day, instead of receiving tokens of love from friends and family for the happy couple – they have decided to ask their guests to help out the village. The village is in desperate need of a defibrillator, and the couple will be fund raising to cover the cost.

Martin Douglas and Viv Bailey are both lifeboat volunteers and have estimated that around £2,000 in donations would be enough for them to purchase the machine. They have planned to place it in a public place in the village, so it can be accessed by anyone who needs it.

The groom, Martin, said: “It is very important for the village as there is no accessible defibrillator, so if someone is waiting for an ambulance it has to come from Inverness or Invermoriston.”

Martin also added “Defibrillators save lives. There is no doubt or debate about it and myself and Viv know this as first responders.

“It is important for a fairly remote area like ours but we also need them in city centres. Our ambulance service is superb but easy-to-use defibrillators placed in city centres are vital too, because a few seconds difference in response times can save lives.”

The pair will be getting hitched at Urguhart Castle by Loch Ness on the 4th of August, and are expected to reach their target.

When trying to explain chi many use the same analogy - have you ever walked past someone in the street who was simply glowing, smiling and giving off a good vibe. That's chi! We can't touch or hear chi, but we can see it and feel it, especially in everyday life. Chi brings us together and keeps our bodies and brains in a harmonious balance. Now you know what chi is, we bet you are asking "well how can I increase my chi" well that answer isn't so simple! Many recommend that practices such as yoga and meditation help chi flow properly.

Cardiacares surge of chi machine is a innovative chi exercise machine, gives a simulating exercise which is suitable for all ages and fitness levels.

The main feature which sets this machine apart from the other models on the market at present is its fully programmed variable speed control. The gentle starting speeds means that those with high sensitivity can work their way up to a comfortable speed.

Why Should I Buy A Massage Chair?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a massage chair at home, and if you have, you might be asking, why should I invest in a massage chair? Massage chairs in the past have had a reputation as a ‘gimmick’ product with no real benefit, however, studies have shown that is simply not the case. 

Since the inception of massage chairs in the late 1980’s, massage chairs have become a huge favourite with consumers looking to unwind after a long day. As technology has advanced so has the massage chair industry, with some models almost replicating the sensory feel of a true massage. Of course, a mechanical action can never replace a real pair of trained hands, some of them get pretty close.

There are many health benefits to having a massage chair at home, as well as convenience and a chance to destress in the comfort of your own home. Many studies show that massages increase endorphin levels, which is instant feel good factor. The American Pain Society also recommends massage for instant pain relief on sore or torn muscles. If you are suffering from a pulled muscle or a torn ligament, then massage may just be the pain relief method you were hoping for.
Personally, we can’t think of anything better than coming home after a long hard day at the office, and unwinding instantly with comfort. They are a great drug free way to relieve pain, and should be a staple piece in any home.

Diabetes is a serious condition, which affects almost 4.6% of the population (or 3 million, with another  estimated 800,000 people who have the condition, but aren’t aware yet) - according to statistics taken in 2013. However, with a little help from modern technology and qualified health care professionals, it is a manageable condition. The time after diagnosis can feel like a lonely one, many people experience stages of shock, anger and grief. However, you must remember that you are not alone! It is more than likely that as times goes on you will feel more confident in your ability to handle your illness.

There are many little steps you can take to keep your condition maintained - such as maintaining a good diet, regular exercise and normal weight management. Diet plans full of vegetables of legumes are highly recommended to keep up energy. Another tip to remember is to limit carbs and decreasing your portion sizes. Having a good fitness regime is imperative, considering that 70% of leg amputations occur in people who suffer from diabetes, it is so important to keep your body in shape

Diabetic socks have become a firm favourite within the diabetic market, as they aid with reducing pressure, and promoting health blood circulation, at an inexpensive cost. They can help with reducing the risk of diabetic foot, and at such a low cost, you can't afford not to give them a go.

Many people with diabetes live a normal life, by taking proactive steps often, you can get your condition under control.
