Top 10 Tips
to Prevent Heart
Disease and Stroke
Do we ever prescribe alternative medicines? On occasion
we do! The major risk with many alternative medications is
that the patients think they are doing something to improve
health, when in fact they are not.
Although some vitamins have been shown possibly to
help some conditions, to date none have been shown
to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease. It also is
important to note that high doses of some vitamins may
interfere or counteract the beneficial effects of some
prescription drugs.
9. Reduce stress.
Stress contributes to cardiovascular disease and, if severe,
can cause a heart attack or sudden death. There are plenty
of options that help reduce stress, such as regular exercise,
adequate sleep, striving for a good marriage, laughing,
volunteering or attending religious services. In my view,
watching TV—especially daily news—generally does not
relieve, but aggravates stress. Also, try to avoid situations
and people who make you anxious or angry.
10. Stay informed: Science changes constantly.
The only constant is change. This is especially true in
medicine as new techniques and new insights develop
constantly. Do not believe every piece of “scientific
information” you find in the media or advertisements.
An overwhelming number of research studies that make
it into scientific publications are poorly designed or yield
data that are not representative; e.g., due to a lack of
a sufficient number of participants. Keep in mind that
many studies are financed or sponsored by individuals
or companies with a vested interest in gaining favorable
results. The situation can be especially confusing when
scientific studies yield different or even contradicting
results, and this is not uncommon.
So, begin to take responsibility for your health by following
these 10 tips and you will be well on your way to improving
and maintaining your health at every age and stage of life.

Pig industry sustains livelihoods of many families in Kenya. Pig rearing has been one of wellestablishedindustry in Kenya following growing export markets and increasing number of health conscious consumers. Pig production if efficiently managed has great potentials for increasing protein supply in Kenya. Smallholder pig farms in Tharaka-Nithi County have been facing varying and dismal profits. The main objective of this study will be to establish which institutional arrangements and management factors affect the profit efficiency of small-holder pig farmers in Tharaka-Nithi County. A multi-stage purposive sampling technique will be adopted to collect cross sectional data of eighty (80) smallholder pig farmers in Maara Constituency by the use of semi-structured interview schedules. The work will employ Data Envelopment Analysis to come up with profit efficiency rankings among the farmers and stochastic frontier profit function will be used to analyze the factors that affect profit efficiency. The data will be processed using STATA and DEA Frontier packages. The findings could be useful to the stakeholders of the pig industry sub sector to formulate policies pertaining to pig enterprise inputs, marketing issues and financial products and also can establish benchmarks which can be used as a package for enhancing and stabilizing profit efficiencies of smallholder pig farmers which in turn could help improve the Kenya economy. An Overview of Livestock Sub-sector in Kenya Perspectives, Opportunities and Innovations for Market Access for Market Access for Pastoral Producers Recent statistics point that the livestock sub-sector in Kenya accounts for approximately 10% of the National Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This is 30% of the agricultural GDP. It employs about 50% of the national agricultural workforce and about 90% of the ASAL workforce. 95% of ASAL household income comes from this sub-sector. This is despite the fact that the sector receives only 1 % of the total annual budget allocation. The livestock resource base is estimated at 60 million units comprising of 29 million indigenous and exotic chicken, 10 million beef cattle, 3 million dairy and dairy crosses, 9 million goats, 7 million sheep, 0.8 mi camels, 0.52 mi donkeys and 0.3 million pigs. (Strategy for Revitalizing Agriculture (SRA) 2003) Kenya is broadly self-sufficient in most livestock products but is a net importer of red meat mostly inform of on-the-hoof animals trekked across the porous boundaries of neighbouring countries- Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Uganda and Tanzania. Livestock supply in Kenya results from a complex set of interactions between Kenya and its neighbours and the traditional Middle East market and their respective livestock populations, demand and market prices. Kenya is part of a regional market where livestock flow according to markets and price differentials in a liberalized system throughout the region as a whole and where Nairobi represents a focus of demand for the region Supply of red-meat from domestic cattle, shoats and camels falls short of demand, and is almost permanently augmented by a traditional livestock trade drawn in from neighbouring countries, especially Somalia, Tanzania, Sudan and Ethiopia in varying quantities according to demand, which maintains a supply/demand [1.6MB]SIJAAMINI WEMA SEPETU ANACHOKIFAYA HAPO KWENYE HII VIDEO BOFYA UONE
