			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="article_text"><strong><em>Nursing is one of the careers which is overflowing with never-ending personal and professional rewards</em></strong>. Once you have chosen this career, it means that you have chosen to spend your life helping others, while using learned nursing skills; the skills of uniting knowledge of science and medical procedures, with a passion of being compassionate for others.There are few professions that offer such a rewarding experience; none of which are comparable with the best nursing careers. </div>
<p><strong><em>Being one of the largest professions, nursing needs many individuals to fill positions, and many more are projected to be needed in the future</em></strong>. Nurses are the largest components in the hospital staff, and primarily play a role in managing the patients, and taking care of them while being hospitalized. Also, nursing is one of the most versatile careers, since it encompasses a wide variety of settings in many different environments.</p>
<p>Every day on the job, nurses use the science they learned in nursing school. And, even when they are in the field, nurses take continuing education, so they can be updated with the latest trends in medical and nursing sciences. <strong><em>Nursing science is a never-ending quest to find new treatments, medications, and new procedures to help patients</em></strong>. So, keeping up with the latest in the medical and nursing sciences is essential for nurses.</p>
<p><strong><em>Nursing careers will most definitely continue to grow in demand as time goes by</em></strong>. With today&#8217;s population steadily growing, nurses never need to find themselves jobless, now and well into the foreseeable future.</p>
<p>Nurses have a wide variety of tasks and job descriptions. <strong><em>Listed here are a few of the job descriptions that nurses do: </em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Medical and Personal Assessments</strong>:</p>
<p>Gathering information about the physical condition, emotional state, lifestyle, family, hopes, and fears of a patient.</p>
<p><strong>Diagnoses:</strong></p>
<p>This entails nurses to recognize what specific problem or need the patient might have; this can either be spiritual, emotional, or physical.</p>
<p><strong>Planning:</strong></p>
<p>Nurses learn to find ways to solve problems and set specific goals for their patients&#8217; improvement. They also encourage patients to participate in planning for their own health care.</p>
<p><strong>Implementation:</strong></p>
<p>Nurses implement what is in their patient treatment plan. They are tasked to manage the proper medications and treatments needed by the patient. They also help to teach their patients how to take proper care of themselves.</p>
<p><strong>Evaluation:</strong></p>
<p>In this stage, nurses need to review the results of the treatment plan regularly, and make adjustments as they are needed.</p>
<p><strong><em>In the world today, there is a significant shortage of nurses</em></strong>. And in the years to come, the need will only increase for the services that nurses provide. This is due to several underlying reasons. One is that advances in health care help people to live longer, and in the years to come there are likely to be many more elderly people, who will need care. <strong><em>Also, the current nursing workforce is aging. As more nurses retire, more will be needed to replace them. </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Nursing careers have more options than ever before</em></strong>. Nurses have many different kinds of work and a greater variety of where they do it. There are many different settings in the nursing career environment, such as long-term-care centers, community health clinics, corporate health centers, home care, research centers, military service, Peace Corps and international service organization, nursing schools and medical offices.</p>
<p>There are fortunately a lot of options that nurses can choose from. <strong><em>And for sure, in the years to come, nursing will still be one of the most in demand careers, and a fantastic career choice. </em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Nut allergies are fairly common and at times, they may even be life threatening</em></strong>.  The fact of the matter is, not all of us that are allergic to nuts and peanuts are going to have a life-threatening reaction because of it.  This is because there is a difference between a nut allergy and nut intolerance. </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at the two of these and see what causes them to happen in an individual.  This will help you to determine which you are dealing with, and what kind of caution you should take in order to avoid this type of food.</p>
<p><strong><em>The fact of the matter is, nut allergies happen for the same reason, whether we have an intolerance to them or if we are allergic</em></strong>.  The body reacts to things that we ingest and at times, it may consider them to be a foreign body that needs to be attacked and destroyed. </p>
<p>There are proteins that are present in nuts and peanuts that will trigger a release of histamine in order to counteract their effect.  Even though the protein is not necessarily bad for us, the body considers it to be bad and what <strong><em>we are actually having is a reaction because of the histamine that is being released.</em></strong></p>
<p>This histamine can cause a number of different problems in our bodies which include respiratory problems, difficulties with the G.I. tract, our skin breaking out and even cardiovascular problems. <strong><em> If you have a severe allergy to nuts, you may end up with something that is known as anaphylaxis</em></strong>.  This is a severe reaction to nuts where the airways will swell and blood pressures will drop.  You may end up passing out or being unable to breathe and it certainly can be life-threatening if it is not taking care of immediately.</p>
<p><strong><em>You should discuss these things with your doctor if you have a suspicion that you are dealing with nut allergies.</em></strong>  Through a series of allergy testing, they will be able to determine your degree of allergic reaction and what should be done about it.  You may just have to carry some histamine with you or perhaps take a little bit of salt under your tongue if you have a minor reaction.  <strong><em>If your reaction is major, however, you may be told to carry an autoinjector which will quickly give you the medicine that you need in order to save your life</em></strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Normally carbohydrates are found in all foods except meat products.</em></strong> Recently, some diets have recommended stripping out all carbohydrates from what you eat. Many companies have bought into this and among other things, have introduced low-carb breads.</p>
<p><strong><em>Limiting bad carbohydrates such as sugar from your diet is a positive step</em></strong> but going further and refusing to eat fruits and whole grains can potentially deprive you of cancer fighting foods.</p>
<p>Carbohydrates can be broken down into two main categories; simple and complex. Sodas, candy and even fruits contain simple sugars while whole grains, fruits and cereals contain complex carbs. <strong><em>The main difference between the two groups are their chemical structures. </em></strong></p>
<p>Simple sugars are made up of a few sugar molecules while complex carbs are made up of hundreds and even thousands of these molecules put together. In you body, the end product of both is glucose.</p>
<p><strong><em>Another difference between the two is the time needed to dige</em></strong>st. If you consume 100 calories of simple sugars, your body can digest it a lot faster than if you eat the same amount of calories that are made of complex carbs. This is because simple sugars are closer to the end product than complex carbs which need more time to digest.</p>
<p>Therefore if you take the meal of simple sugars, you will be hungrier sooner than if you ate the meal made of complex carbs. <strong><em>Making a habit of drinking soda and eating candy can add up to a lot of calories at the end of the day.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Studies have shown that simple sugars contribute to obesity and diabetes, especially in children</em></strong>. It has also been shown that eating the good carbs can shield you from many types of cancers.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>It&#8217;s well accepted that reduced physical activity and fast food are linked to obesity.</em></strong> But the evidence that these are the main causes of obesity is largely circumstantial. To stimulate debate, experts suggest 10 other possible causes of obesity, outlined in the <strong><em>International Journal of Obesity.</em></strong></p>
<p>   1. <strong><em>Sleep debt</em></strong>. Getting too little sleep can increase body weight. Today, many get less shut-eye than ever.<br />
   2. <strong><em>Pollution</em></strong>. Hormones control body weight. And many of today&#8217;s pollutants affect our hormones.<br />
   3. <strong><em>Air conditioning</em></strong>. You have to burn calories if your environment is too hot or too cold for comfort. But more people than ever live and work in temperature-controlled homes and offices.<br />
   4. <strong><em>Decreased smoking</em></strong>. Smoking reduces weight. People smoke much less than they used to.<br />
   5.<strong><em> Medicine</em></strong>. Many different drugs including contraceptives, steroid hormones, diabetes drugs, some antidepressants, and blood pressure drugs can cause weight gain. Use of these drugs is on the upswing.<br />
   6.<strong><em> Population age, ethnicity</em></strong>. Middle-aged people and Hispanic-Americans tend to be more obese than young European-Americans. Americans are getting older and more Hispanic.<br />
   7.<strong><em> Older moms</em></strong>. There&#8217;s some evidence that the older a woman is when she gives birth, the higher her child&#8217;s risk of obesity. Women are giving birth at older and older ages.<br />
   8. <strong><em>Ancestors&#8217; environment</em></strong>. Some influences may go back two generations. Environmental changes that made a grandparent obese may &#8220;through a fetally driven positive feedback loop&#8221; visit obesity on the grandchildren.<br />
   9. <strong><em>Obesity linked to fertility</em></strong>. There&#8217;s some evidence obese people are more fertile than lean ones. If obesity has a genetic component, the percentage of obese people in the population should increase.<br />
  10<strong><em>. Unions of obese spouses</em></strong>. Obese women tend to marry obese men, and if obesity has a genetic component, there will be still more obese people in the next generation.</p>
<p>These other contributing factors deserve more attention and study. Even more explanations include: a fat-inducing virus; increases in childhood depression; less consumption of dairy products; and hormones used in agriculture.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>There are actually diet rules out there that are meant to be broken</em></strong>? Yes, recently many dated diet guidelines and myths are up for speculation. You’ve probably heard all these silly rules before, but experts weigh-in on the worthiness of these supposed truisms &#8211; most of which won&#8217;t help you lose weight or make dieting any easier.</p>
<p><strong>10 Food Rules You Can Ignore:</strong></p>
<p>1. <strong><em>Eating at night will pile on the pounds</em></strong>. The total calories you consume over a 24-hour period or over a week is what causes you to gain weight, and when you eat these calories doesn&#8217;t matter.</p>
<p>2. <strong><em>It&#8217;s best to eat at the same times every day</em></strong>. Eat when you&#8217;re hungry, not when the clock says it&#8217;s time to eat.</p>
<p>3. <em>Dieting with a buddy always makes weight loss easier</em>. Common goals may pay off but weight loss is a personal journey.</p>
<p>4. <strong><em>Dietary fat keeps you feeling full longer, so you&#8217;ll eat less</em></strong>. Fat does take longer to digest, but it will not help you control your appetite. Foods likely to fight off hunger the longest are protein foods, followed by carbohydrates, then fats.</p>
<p>5. <strong><em>When you blow your diet, you might as well wait until the next day to get back on track</em></strong>. Nothing could be farther from the truth- always try to get right back on track with your next meal.</p>
<p>6. <strong><em>Refusing food at a party or when visiting is rude</em></strong>. Turning down food that you know will blow your diet is socially acceptable.</p>
<p>7. <strong><em>Skipping a meal every now and then will help you lose</em></strong>. Skipping a meal means you will be so hungry at the next meal that you are likely to overeat. This can also  help lead to a slowdown of your metabolism.</p>
<p>8.<strong><em> Bread is fattening, nuts are fattening, pasta is fattening</em></strong>. Whole-wheat bread/pasta is a great source of nutrients, and it won&#8217;t make you gain weight more than any other food with the same number of calories.</p>
<p>9. <strong><em>All calories are equal</em></strong>. This is somewhat true, however; you&#8217;ll get more nutrients from a 100-calorie apple than from a 100-calorie portion of white bread. Choose healthier items if you are losing weight, or controlling your hunger.</p>
<p>10. <strong><em>If you don&#8217;t clean your plate, you&#8217;re wasting food</em></strong>. If you just don&#8217;t feel right leaving the table until you&#8217;ve cleaned your plate, underestimate your hunger and put less food on your plate to begin with, or you may overeat.</p>
<p>Don’t believe everything you hear! <strong><em>Much of it is just superstition</em></strong>. Now you can tell your friends the real truth. In the end, nutrition experts say, many of the food and dieting rules we hold dear are meant to be broken &#8211; without guilt!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had often heard about nut allergies and peanut allergies, but had rarely ever seen the effects of them until I had my first son. Everything seemed fairly normal whenever he was young but as he grew older, <strong><em>I began to notice that he was having some reactions to the foods that he was eating. </em></strong></p>
<p>Thinking that it was perfectly normal, I really didn’t do much about it. I did tend to watch what he was eating in order to find out what he was allergic to. These allergic reactions that he was having were fairly mild. His symptoms included such things as additional mucus in his throat and on occasion, diarrhea.</p>
<p><strong><em>I was surprised and terrified whenever he had his first major attack</em></strong> and was rushed to the hospital. He was having difficulty breathing, and had asthmatic reactions.  That ER visit is when I realized that it was necessary to be prepared at all times for nut allergies and peanut allergies.</p>
<p>Fortunately, modern medical science was able to take care of my son. Now we are totally prepared for any other problems that may occur in the future. If you recognize problems in your children with food allergies, <strong><em>don’t wait like I did to go have it checked out. </em></strong></p>
<p>Unfortunately, there are very few things that can be done for an individual that has nut and peanut allergies. For the most part, there are two things that you’re going to need to carry with you at all times.</p>
<p><strong><em>First of all, you should have an antihistamine with you in case of a mild allergy</em></strong>. Mild to severe allergy reactions can sometimes take place, if you or a loved one happen to ingest some kind of nut without knowing it.</p>
<p>In order to avoid a more severe form of peanut allergy, known as anaphylaxis, <strong><em>you’re going to need to carry an epinephrine autoinjector</em></strong>. If you have a severe enough allergy that you need the injector in order to overcome the symptoms, don’t even bother taking the antihistamine.<strong><em> The injector is going to save your life</em></strong>. The antihistamine is going to help take the edge off of the symptoms, and will only be helpful, in a milder allergic reaction.</p>
<p>It also always helps to be prepared by watching the types of foods that you or an allergic loved one are eating. <strong><em>Never eat anything with nuts</em></strong>, and if you know you or your loved one have a problem, pay attention to the ingredients on the label. <strong><em>You would be surprised with how many of the foods that we eat, that have nuts or peanuts hidden somewhere in the ingredients.</em></strong></p>
<p>You can never be too careful or too watchful if you or somone you know have nut allergies or peanut allergies.You must always be diligent and watchful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are plenty of people who have food allergies.  As a matter of fact, it is difficult to find anybody that never has a reaction to something that they eat.  This is often evident whenever they are clearing their throats after a meal, and <strong><em>whether they realize it or not, what they are having is an allergic reaction.  </em></strong></p>
<p>There are times, however, whenever we may have a more severe form of food allergy.  <strong><em>One of the most common types of severe food allergies is one to nuts and peanuts.</em></strong></p>
<p>The reason why I separate the two of these is because the peanut is a legume while the tree nut is actually a dried fruit.  Many people that are allergic to peanuts are not allergic to tree nuts and vice versa.  That being said, you need to make sure that you are well informed ahead of time in order to avoid ingesting any nuts that may be hidden underneath the surface. </p>
<p>Eventually, you will become very efficient at being able to identify these things but if you are just realizing that you or someone you love has a nut allergy,<strong><em> you may be caught unaware.</em></strong></p>
<p>The first thing that you&#8217;re going to need to avoid is any food that is prepared at the same place where nuts are in existence.  For example, a scoop of ice cream may seem like something that is perfectly harmless, but the same scoop may also be used in to dish out the pistachio ice cream.  The same is also true of candies that are made at a candy shop and also in many factories.<strong><em>  This is what is known as cross contamination and it presents a real danger for those of us that have a problem with nut allergies.</em></strong></p>
<p>If you are dealing with an extremely severe nut allergy, you may also have to go much further than that in order to avoid it altogether.  For example, if you are on an airplane, you should inform the stewardess as soon as you go on board that you have a problem with nut allergies.  If it is severe, they may be required to not pass out nuts on that particular flight.</p>
<p>You should also be careful of food that you are feeding any pets that you may have,  and even watch out for dog saliva,  as it may contain some of the proteins that trigger an allergic reaction.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dietary guidelines for adults  focuses on what foods constitute a good diet. <strong><em>My approach is that food should be fun</em></strong> because most health food aficionados that I know don’t seem to smile too often and therefore I don’t hold them up as good examples.</p>
<p>Eating is a major part of life and life should be fun; if we only get one life what’s the point in being miserable? <strong><em>The challenge for healthy eating is to make healthy food fun to eat and reward yourself occasionally with a treat and to heck with the diet.</em></strong></p>
<p>We need to eat fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, dairy products and drink plenty of water to have a perfect diet. We also have to accept that certain people have allergies. The most common allergies are dairy products and nuts. Just because you have an allergy you shouldn’t use it as an excuse not to eat a healthy diet; if you can’t eat nuts eat more fruit or vegetables to compensate.</p>
<p>Using a little common sense will overcome all perceived obstacles. Once you have a diet based upon healthy foods you can add a few luxuries like chocolate and ice cream providing it is within your daily calorie allowance.</p>
<p>A healthy breakfast is cereal, or oatmeal (porridge) with fresh fruit and a glass of milk. <strong><em>If you are really rushed for time a fresh fruit smoothie is great.</em></strong> Alternatively a couple of slices of toasted whole-grain bread. Do away with common white bread it acts like glue in your intestines and creates digestive problems. If you take toast it is always sensible to eat at least one piece of fresh fruit.</p>
<p>If you feel like a snack mid-morning eat a few nuts, a raw carrot or a piece of fruit.</p>
<p>Lunch should consist of a sandwich made with whole-grain bread, a piece of fruit and some green salad leaves. &#8211; Common question: “Should I add salad dressing?” &#8211; Why not. If you like salad dressing use it or the food becomes boring but use it in moderation.</p>
<p>Afternoon snack – same as morning snack.</p>
<p>Dinner should have meat or fish; red meat is OK in reasonable servings about three times each week. It must have vegetables including peas or beans and if you can utilize fresh fruit for dessert that is even better. Berries are especially healthy and tasty.</p>
<p><strong><em>To summarize you must eat seven servings of fruit and/or vegetables every day.</em></strong> This is an absolute minimum requirement for a healthy body. Frozen is fine if you are unsure of the freshness of vegetables or fruit because it is snap frozen when fresh and retains the nutrients. Older fruit and vegetables lose nutrient value.</p>
<p>There is much to play with in this diet and the challenge is to make it fun when mixed with some of your favorites.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can fight atherosclerosis by making good food choices. Cut back on saturated fat and cholesterol from meat and whole-milk dairy products, and <strong><em>look for the following foods that lower cholesterol</em></strong>, bring down blood pressure, and keep your blood flowing smoothly.</p>
<p>Fish. Reel in a big, fat fish and wriggle off the hook of atherosclerosis. Omega-3 fatty acids, the polyunsaturated kinds found in fatty fish like tuna, mackerel, and salmon, <strong><em>protect your arteries from damage</em></strong>.</p>
<p>First, omega-3 takes out triglycerides, the fats that build up on your artery walls. It also stops your blood&#8217;s platelets from clumping together. That way, your blood remains smooth instead of sticky. Sticky blood can clot and block blood flow. Lastly, omega-3 might lower blood pressure.</p>
<p>No wonder so many studies show that eating fish can reduce your risk of heart disease. <strong><em>The American Heart Association recommends eating at least two fish meals a week</em></strong>.</p>
<p>You can find a form of omega-3 called alpha-linolenic acid in walnuts, which lower cholesterol. Other sources of omega-3 include flaxseed, wheat germ, and some green, leafy vegetables, like kale, spinach, and arugula.</p>
<p>Garlic. <strong><em>Anything fish can do garlic does, too</em></strong>. The sulfur compounds in this amazing herb not only lower cholesterol and triglycerides, but they also go after only the LDL or &#8220;bad&#8221; cholesterol and leave the HDL or &#8220;good&#8221; cholesterol alone.</p>
<p>Garlic can also lower blood pressure so your arteries don&#8217;t take as much of a pounding. Thanks to a substance called ajoene, garlic keeps your blood from clumping and clotting. <strong><em>One study even showed garlic helps your aorta, the body&#8217;s main artery, remain elastic as you age</em></strong>.</p>
<p>Experts recommend getting 4 grams of garlic &#8211; about one clove &#8211; into your diet each day.</p>
<p>Fiber. During the course of a day, you should eat about 25 to 35 grams of fiber. If you do, you&#8217;ll boost your general health and give atherosclerosis quite a battle.</p>
<p>Certain types of soluble fiber, such as the kind in oats, barley, apples, and other fruits, shrink your cholesterol levels. It works by slowing down your food as it passes through your stomach and small intestine so your &#8220;good&#8221; cholesterol has more time to take cholesterol to your liver and out of your body. <strong><em>Eating more than 25 grams of fiber every day might also cut your risk of developing high blood pressure by 25 percent</em></strong>.</p>
<p>Fiber comes with an added bonus &#8211; it fills you up. After a fiber-rich meal, you feel full, so you&#8217;re less likely to overeat and put on unwanted pounds. Because being overweight increases your risk of atherosclerosis and other heart problems, <strong><em>eating fiber should be part of an effective strategy to guard your arteries</em></strong>.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll find fiber in fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain breads and cereals.</p>
<p>Antioxidants. An unarmed intruder poses less of a threat than one with a weapon. <strong><em>By stopping free radicals from oxidizing LDL cholesterol, antioxidants remove much of the danger</em></strong>. Once oxidized, LDL cholesterol makes a beeline for your artery walls much faster. In fact, some scientists believe LDL cholesterol only harms you once it has been oxidized.</p>
<p>Vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta carotene are antioxidants. Peppers, oranges, strawberries, cantaloupe, and broccoli give you vitamin C, while carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, mangoes, and collard greens are full of beta carotene. Sources of vitamin E include wheat germ, nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils.</p>
<p>While you munch on those fruits and vegetables, you&#8217;ll get the added benefit of antioxidant substances called flavonoids. Resveratrol in grapes, anthocyanins in cranberry juice, and quercetin in onions, apples, and tea are some of the flavonoids that help your heart and arteries.</p>
<p>Monounsaturated fat. To keep your blood running smoothly, maybe you need an oil change. Olive oil, the main source of fat in the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet, has mostly monounsaturated fat. <strong><em>This type of fat slashes the &#8220;bad&#8221; cholesterol without harming the &#8220;good&#8221; cholesterol</em></strong>. It also prevents clotting, giving your arteries even more protection.</p>
<p>Like fiber, monounsaturated fat also fills you up so you&#8217;re less likely to overeat.</p>
<p>Think about switching from soybean or corn oil to olive oil. After all, the Greeks &#8211; even while enjoying a rather high-fat diet &#8211; rarely develop atherosclerosis.</p>
<p>Besides olive oil, sources of monounsaturated fat include avocados, nuts, and canola oil.<br />
Ginger. Make your dinner a little bit tastier and your arteries a little bit healthier with this ancient spice. <strong><em>Ginger contains phytochemicals called gingerol and shogaol, which give it its antioxidant power</em></strong>.</p>
<p>Animal studies show ginger not only lowers LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, it also prevents LDL oxidation. On top of that, <strong><em>ginger also keeps your blood from clotting by reducing the stickiness of your platelets</em></strong>.</p>
