We have heard/read on several occasions about the major risks involved relating to the excessive consumption of alcohol. Recently a cross-sectional study presented during American Association for Cancer Research’s 101st Annual Meeting held at the Walter E Washington Convention Center, highlighted a connection between alcohol consumption, cancer and aging, which starts during cellular level along with telomere shortening. Telomeres are crucial for the genetic stability of cells; however, as people age the length of telomere shortens rapidly. This shortening of telomere is said to be the reason behind increase in the cancer risk. Telomeres usually get short due to the consumption of alcohol. According to lead researcher Andrea Baccarelli, M.D. Head of the Center of Molecular and Genetic Epidemiology, Ca’ Granda Hospital Foundation, University of Milan, Italy, heavy alcohol drinking increases the risk of cancer at various positions thus trigger early onset of premature aging and different diseases related to aging. The study was carried on participants who abused alcohol. Of these 22 percent consumed four or more alcoholic drinks per day, while 197 participants displayed different alcohol consumption habits viz., 4 percent had four or more alcoholic drinks per day. The age group of both the groups was similar. Other factors which might have affected telomere length include physical exercise, diet, stress related to work and exposure to environment.
At the end of the study it was found that telomere length lessens in those persons who consumed heavy amount of alcohol; telomere length remained around half in the non-abusers.
Lethal risks involved for excessive intake of alcohol
Long term use of alcohol abuse results in addiction which in return put a person at a greater risk of acquiring several dangerous conditions. If a person becomes addicted his/her body can't function normally without ingesting ethanol. If addiction becomes unbearable it could lead to death of an individual. In other cases it could lead to damage of both body and mind or could lead to mental illness. Too much drinking also results in the weight gain of a person. But, if a man takes two drinks and a woman who intake one drink a day are said to be moderate drinkers.
Those who become habitual can miss out the joy of family life, hobbies or friendships. It can have ill effects on children; addicted people also can't take their own decision because of the poor judgment and would often react without understanding the situation.
Controlling Excessive Alcohol Abuse
Fruit juices play a vital role in diminishing the effects of alcoholism. To control the hangover, it the juice of lemon or orange can do wonders. Eating fruits like banana and apple also helps in flushing out the toxins from our body which have been generated through the use of alcoholism.

Causes and symptoms of allergic reaction in body
Most of the people are allergic to one thing or the other. When an allergic reaction take place the immune system in our body reacts to it and assumes as if it is harmful for our body. People are allergic to certain foods, medicines, plant pollen etc. In an effort to protect our body from certain foods, the immune system produces lgE substance or antibodies to control that allergen. Thus, certain cells release chemicals like histamine into the bloodstream. This chemical then penetrates into nose, throat, eyes, skin or gastrointestinal tract causing allergic reactions. These allergic reactions could be mild or severe like runny nose or difficulty in breathing. Did you know the asthma attack in a person is an allergic reaction?
If aggravated these allergic reactions can become severe which are known by the name anaphylaxis. The symptoms of severe allergic reactions include difficulty in swallowing, breathing, swelling of the lips, tongue or throat. Fortunately, these severe allergic reactions have a cure.
According to Dr. Guy Delespesse, Professor at the Universite de Montreal Faculty of Medicine, allergies occur due to excessive cleanliness. There are several reasons involved through which allergy takes place like air pollution, stress, tobacco, family history, processed foods etc. According to researchers there is good relationship between hygiene and allergies. If a child lives in a more sterile environment, s/he may develop more allergic problems or immune problems in their lifetime. Did you know that Type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis are the result of immune system becoming hostile?
No doubt hygiene does reduce the exposure of harmful bacteria but it limits the exposure to good microorganisms. The researchers suggest use of probiotics to enrich our intestinal flora. Probiotics have a proven record of treating diarrhea. If taken during pregnancy probiotics helps in reducing allergies in a child. More people are prone to environmental allergic reactions like pollen, mold spores, animal hair, insects and chemicals. Severe allergies can be treated with injections but most of the people prefer on the counter medications. We should remain cautious in using various household items which trigger allergic reactions. Washing bedding more frequently at the highest temperature is recommended as it would kill dust termites instantly.
There are various ways available to control the allergies by avoiding the use of white sugar and things made of it. Only a few people know that white sugar is processed through chemical and toxic way. You should also avoid using processed foods and frozen-pre-packaged type foods. Wash all fruits and vegetables in warm water before using them. Try to prepare your meals at home by using fresh and natural products. Avoid saturated red meat. Smoking and heavy drinking of alcohol also results in allergic reaction in a body. Limit your intake of coffee consumption, only one or two regular cups are recommended per day.

Benefits of exercise therapy during depression and anxiety
The state of depression can be considered as a low state of energy, in which a depressed person experiences lots of anxiety. This state of anxiety leads to panic attacks. If a person fails to control his/her feelings it may lead to a state of depression. A depressed person often shows symptoms of despair, anger and hopelessness. A person suffering from depression remains anxious or has anxiety disorders. S/he remains fearful and has to counter panic attacks. If this condition is not treated well in time, it could lower a person's ability to maintain relations and working capabilities. Both these disorders of anxiety and depression are treated with anti-depressant medications.
There is no clue available as to why different type of depressions is always accompanied by anxiety. But every problem has a solution. In a recent clinical study by Jasper Smits, Director of the Anxiety Research and Treatment Program at Southern Methodist University in Dallas revealed that regular exercise have shown tremendous benefits for mental health.
The full benefits of exercise therapy can be achieved by a patient if the therapist is fully trained. The research was carried out by Smits and Michael Otto, Psychology Professor based at Boston University. Their research was based on various analyses of population based studies as well as clinical and meta-analytic reviews. The traditional treatment of cognitive therapy has some limitations as they are not accessible to every person who requires them. Exercise helps them to remain focused and engaged in their activities.
These findings are based on the recent Conference of the Anxiety Disorder Association of America. The workshop was based on the therapist guide "Exercise for Mood and Anxiety Disorders" (Oxford University Press, September 2009). Those individuals who often exercise report fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression. Patients suffered with anxiety disorders are treated naturally through exercise as it helps them to control fear and other bodily sensations like heart beating and rapid breathing. Till date 40 percent of Americans have sedentary habit, but participating in regular exercising session could help getting some immediate benefits. It has been proved that after spending 25 minutes in exercise, you can improve your overall mood and body structure in the long run.
A well-balanced diet and avoidance of caffeine and excess sugar food could help your body to fight against panic attacks. Above all proper sleep and good rest is recommended to deal with anxiety and panic attacks as your body needs rest to recuperate from day today activity.
