Sun Burn

My older son had a training for sea rescue at beach. It was really hot today. The temperature was about 35 degrees and the sunlight was so strong. He said that he didn't wear sunscreen. He was crazy. Of course, he is suffering a terrible sunburn now. He called to my wife and asked how should he do. We are sorry, but we don't know. Just cooling the body, I think. He might learn the importance of using sunscreen on a day like today.

Catch a Cold Again

I have a cold again. I had a cold only one month ago and it lasted ten days. That was terrible. I rarely catch cold, but I'm weak recently. I think lack of sleep would be the problem. I should sleep as much as I can.

Don't Catch a Cold

I managed to get over a stubborn cold. It took ten days of recovering. I usually get over a cold very easily. At first, I had a high fever and then I was coughing a lot. I didn't feel eating and drinking. But finally, I can survive! 

It'll be cold coming days. And influenza have been spreading out all over Japan. I hope everyone doesn't catch a cold or flu.

Heat Stroke

According to some media, two Japanese died from heart stroke today. Heat stroke is a serious disease that caused by high temperature. You should be careful when you are in a hot condition. 

If someone feels tired, dizzy or muscle pain, you have to treat him or her immediately. You should get them to lie down in a cool place and get them to drink some fluid, such as a sports drink. 

But most of all, don't work hard in a hot place and drink lots of water before doing something.

Smoker's Face

Everyone knows cigarettes destroy your health. Smoking is bad for your heart, lungs, brain and so on. It's also ruins your face so badly. The condition is called "smoker's face."

A British doctor studied the relationship between smoking and wrinkling. He found that they were deeply involved. He compared many smokers' and non smokers' skins and found that smokers were nearly five times as likely to be wrinkled as no smokers of the same age and sex. 

Smoking prevents sending nutrients via vessels to skin. That helps aging to your skin, so you look older than your age.  You can see the damaged face if you google smoker's face on the web.

Visited a Hospital

I visited a friend of mine in a hospital. He had a laparoscopic surgery several days ago. He looked good, so I was relieved. 

He was informed an illness after taking an annual clinical checkup. He was lucky to have a surgery early enough. I don't take health check so often. I think I should take fiscal checkup every year like he does. 

I hope he will get well soon and please take care everyone.

Smoking Ban in China

China's capital city Beijing officials said that they are going to ban on smoking in all indoor public spaces. They are also considering a limit on tabacco advertising. 

China has its about 300 million smokers and smoking is a social custom in the country. Cigarettes are used for an ice breaking item when people meet. 

That strong habit once broke the previous smoking ban law which started in 2008. Even schools were recommended smoking to their students for relaxing, most people had ignored the regulation. 

The new law would set fines of up to $33 for a single violation as the current $1.60 fine. I'm thinking that the fines would be reduced its price and would disappear to officials pocket as a bribe. It would end up in failure again, just my imagine, though. 

A part of the fatal air pollution in China's big cities would come from the puffing cigarettes of the republic people. It might be a long way to reduce smoking in China.

Health Risks in India

The recent cover story of TIME is about India. I haven't read the article yet, but when I think of India, I think about the broblems they have there. It's about health problem in India.

I listened to a radio show the other day and the topic was the world health report. The report said India still has widespread malnutrition, but at the same time, obesity-related diseases such as heart disease are increasing in the country. Twenty percent of people living in big cities are overweight or obese. China is seeing the same problem, the radio show said.

An authority said they need start teaching students about obesity in schools.

Hay Fever

I thought I had a cold but I was wrong. I found my eyes congested and felt itchy. To make matters worse, my nose was running.

At first, I went see an eye doctor. He prescribed me with some eye drops and said, "you should go see an otolaryngologist immediately"

So I went see an otolaryngologist. The doctor said I might got a hay fever. I never had a hay fever before but I have to be along with hay fever for a long time or ,may be ,forever. I hope it was wrong!

Catch a Cold

I think I've got a cold so I couldn't write a blog, sorry.....

To Stop Selling Cigarettes

According to the BBC radio this morning, CVS Caremark, one of the largest pharmacy chains in the US, will stop selling cigarettes and other tobacco products. 

The shops will reduce their profit but they said it's the right thing to do. It seems strange they sell health care products but on the other hand they sell health destroy products now.

The BBC said about 18% of Americans are current cigarette smokers today. This policy will influence other stores and will cut down the number of smokers in the U.S.

Health Risks from Cigarette Smoking

I listened to The Diane Rehm Show on NPR radio today. One of the topic was health risks from smoking.

In America, nearly 500,000 die from cigarette smoking each year even fewer Americans smoke today. A latest report says so many smoking-related health problems are found so often. 

And the doctor on the show said tabacco campaniles use some ingredients to make people cigarette addict so smokers can't leave smoking easily recently. 

Remember, smoking destroys your health. You should leave the bad habit right now.
