Monday, February 22, 2010

BEYOND THE SMILE

They are one of the most neglected parts of the body. And keeping them clean is often considered a chore. yes, we are talking about our teeth and gums. Oral hygiene refers to more than just pearly white teeth,pink gums and fresh breath. poor oral cleaning habits can cause plaque and tartar to build up around the teeth and speed up the process of decay. Further, untreated gum conditions can have an impact on one,s overall well-being.

Diabetes: Diabetes have an already compromised immune system. The ingress of bacteria into the blood stream and the effects of inflammation further compromise the immune system.Additionally, it has the potential to cause a further increase in the blood sugar level.

Cardiovascular diseases: Bacteria in the blood stream can attach itself to the walls of blood stream vessels as plaques, worsening the existing cardiac diseases. Also, research has shown that people with gum disease have one and a half times greater risk of a fatal cardiovascular disease.

Respiratory tract disease: The presence of bacteria in the gums and throat have the potential to lodge in the lower respiratory tract and lead to disease in immunocompromised patients.

Pregnancy:A link between pre-term and low-birth weight babies has now been established. Pregnant women with gum diseases have seven times greater risk of giving birth to premature babies.

Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes that women undergo, like puberty, menstruation and menopause, cause altered levels of hormones in the blood stream. This sensitises the gums to the effects of bacteria, making them soft, spongy and more prone to bleeding. Additionally, bone loss as in osteoporosis causes gum diseases to spread rapidly. leading to loss of teeth.

Positive emotions are the best antidote to heart disease

A HAPPY HEART

Being happy, enthusiastic and contented is the best antidote to heart disease, says a major new study. The study authors believe that it is the first to show such an independent relationship between positive emotions and coronary heart disease.

Karina Davidson, professor of medicine and psychiatry at the Columbia University Medical Centre (CUMC -New York ), who led the study, said it did suggest it might be possible to help avert heart disease by enhancing positive emotions.

However, she cautioned that it would be premature to make clinical recommendations without clinical trials to investigate the findings further. " We desperately need rigorous clinical trials in this area. If the trials support our findings, then these results will be incredibly important in describing specifically what clinicians and/or patients could do to improve health." said Davidson.

Over a period of 10 years , Davidson and her colleagues followed 1,739 healthy adults (862 men and 877 women) who were participating in the 1995 Nova Scotia Health Survey.

Positive affect is defined as the experience of pleasurable emotions such as joy, happiness, excitement, enthusiasm and contentment. These feelings can be transient, but they are usually stable and trait - like, particularly in adulthood. Davidson said, " We also found that if some depressive symptoms at the time of the survey, this did not affect their overall lower risk of heart disease,"said Davidson, according to a CUMC release. These findings were published in the European Heart Journal.

WHITE'S THE COLOUR : KATRINA KAIF

A Sari State of Affairs

Suddenly going from glam to de-glam for Prakash Jha's Rajneeti wasn't an easy transition for Katrina Kaif, who plays a political leader in the film. Being one of the most fashionable actresses today, donning light coloured saris suit her role was a bone of contention between the director and her. A source from the unit said, "Jha had selected the costumes to suit katz's character. However, she expressed her doubts about wearing the dull saris and asked Jha to let her wear simple, but dark-coloured saris.She particularly wasn't convinced about the off-white saris she was asked to wear." Jha patiently explained to Kat that she plays a politician and it is essential that she wear such colours in Rajneeti. The discussion went on for a long time and nearly erupted into an argument. Eventuallly, Kartina did understand Jha's point of view, and now, all izz well!

LOOKING TO MARRY KANGANA RANAUT

I'm Done with Dating'

There was buzz that director Kunal Deshmukh and Kangana Ranaut are an item. If that's true, then Dino Morea must have rocked their love boat! The pictures of her and Dino, in what looked like a passionate kiss, was apparently harmless!

"I know Dino for a while now, We've met socially and even had a few laughs. But to make it seem like there is something more is terrible, " says the curly-haired temptress. Kangana also adds, "I'm done with relationships.I have 10 movies to complete this year, and will perhaps take on another dozen next year. What I'm completely swamped by work. I have no desire to get into another relationship. I'm done with those."

The actress says the next time she dates a man, it will have to lead to a walk up the altar. "Marriage is what it will be, " says Kangana, adding, "i may marry three years down the line or perhaps even five years down the line. But I'm certainly not interested in the dating scene. "

ACTION : RAJEEV KHANDELWAL

STUNT MAN

John, the British action director of Peter gaya Kaam Se (which stars our Jayam Kondaan lady, Lekha Washington) cannot stop raving about Rajeev Khandelwal. "In Peter..., we don't have a conventional muscle bound Mr. Perfect. We have a regular guy who is forced under immense pressure to find the hero within himself." The Aamir actor, who plays a local guide in the film set in Goa, pulled off some daring stunts. John divulges, "We sourced a big 650 cc dirt bike. Rajeev spent months learning how to handle it with our stunt team. In fact, he went beyond what I deemed to be safe. He would show up on set on the bike, doing all sorts of skids and tricks the stunt guys had taught him. My heart was in my mouth. after all, we only had one bike ! no seriously, I was also concerned for his safety. "

HIT FORMULA : MADHAVAN

What matters Now, Maddy ?

He's visibly tired, but characteristically amiable nevertheless. No sooner did Madhavan return from a "big holiday" in the US--as much as "a week-and-a-half on work and a week-and-a-half on holiday" qualifies as one--after promoting 3 Idiots, than he was off jut-setting to promote his next release, teen Patti.

This chocolate boy of Kollywood says, "I'd rather do one film a year,Idon't heed to do three-four films a year now."

Is that why he seems to be choosing multi-starrers in Bollywood as opposed to solo projects in Kollywood ? "Right now, the script and the set-up -- who's directing and producing the film--mater to me. I don't have a must-work-with list of actors. And I don't want to do run-of-the-mill stuff--five songs, four fights, all action, no story films. As for Tamil films, there'll be an announcement in two weeks."he reveals. Now, we are looking forward to it!
