Most human rights organizations in the West, Africa, and Asia consider female genital mutilation rituals a violation of human rights. They are regarded as unacceptable and illegal forms of body modification and mutilation of those believed to be too young or otherwise unable to give informed consent.

DEFINITON OF FGM
World Health Organization (WHO) refers the definition of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) to as “female circumcision”, comprises all procedure involving partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs whether for cultural, religious or other non-therapeutic reasons.

Female Genital Cutting (FGC) refers to amputation of any part of the female genitalia for cultural rather than medical reasons. The term almost always excludes gender reassignment surgery, which is usually done for personal rather than cultural reason, or genital modification of intersexuals (wikipedia).

TYPE OF FGM

  • Type II : excision of the clitoris with partial or total excision of the labia minora.

  • The age or woman who FGM is performed varies from country to country on infants a few days old, female children and adolescents, and occasionally, on mature woman.
  • Most FGM are performed in 28 African countries and some in Asia and Middle East.

  • Sociological reasons: identification with the cultural heritage, initiation of girls into womanhood, social integration and the maintenance of social cohesion;
  • Hygiene and aesthetic reasons: the external female genitalia are considered dirty and unsightly and are to be removed to promote hygiene and provide aesthetic appeal;

How to Calculate Body Mass Index

Are you looking your body on mirror then you feel something was happened? or you scaled your weight then you feel that your body was changed? Or you say: “I am not thin like before. I am fatty now”. Do you feel that you are obese?

Okay don’t define that you are fatty or obese before you calculate it by Body Mass Index (BMI). Here is a way how to calculate your Body Mass Index.

What is Body Mass Index?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a statistical measure of the weight of a person scaled according to height (wikipedia.com)
The BMI is used to access how much an individual’s body weight departs from what is normal or desirable for a person of his or her height.

How to Calculate BMI?
BMI is defined as the individual's body weight divided by the square of the height. It almost always expressed int the unit kg/m2.



Categories of BMI
The common definition of BMI categories are followed here:

  • Starvation: less than 15
  • Underweight: lest than 18.5
  • Ideal: from 18.5 to 25
  • Overweight: from 25 to 40
  • Obese: from 30 to 40
  • Morbidly Obese: greater than 40
Typically a BMI of less than 18.5 is considered underweight and may indicate malnutrition (eating disorder) or other health problem. A BMI greater than 25 is considered overweight and above 30 is consider obese.

These Body Mass Index values I mentioned above are valid only for adult. However Body Mass Index for children can be calculated as same way as adult, but then compared to typical values for other children of the same gender and age. A BMI that is less than the 5th percentile is considered underweight and above the 95th percentile is overweight. Children with a BMI between the 85th percentile and 95th percentile are considered to be at risk of becoming overweight.

There is a recommendation of lowering the normal BMI for South East Asian to around BMI 23 and expects further revisions to emerge from clinical studies of different body types. For Asians, the new cut-off BMI index for obesity is 27.5 compared with the traditional WHO figure of 30. An Asian adult with a BMI of 23 or greater is now considered overweight and the ideal normal range is 18.5-22.9. For South East Asian people I recommend you to see Singapore BMI cut-offs or you click here.

There are so many websites providing online instrument for calculating your BMI. You just fill the form of your weight and height and let them to calculate it for you.

I can mention some of them as follow here:

Green Tea Can Help Treatment of Cancer


Consuming of Green Tea Can Help Treatment of Cancer Cancer…? What do you thing about it? Prevent it before comes !!!!!

Cancer is the of the biggest health concerns that most people is preventing cancer today. In the USA and other developed countries, cancer is presently responsible for about 25% of all deaths.

Many of our country’s deaths from cancer are completely preventable. However, there are many other cancers that we cannot prevent, in part because we don’t know what causes them. But, there may be a product already in your cupboard that can help prevent, or even treat, cancer. Green Tea…? Yeah it has a prevention against certain types of cancer.

Tea drinking is an ancient tradition dating back 5,000 years in China and India. Investigators now are studying tea for possible use in the prevention and treatment of a variety of cancers, especially interested in the antioxidants-called catechins-found in tea as powerful inhibitors of cancer growth. EGCG is one of the many catechins contained in tea.

As the information that the human body constantly produces unstable molecules called oxidants, also commonly referred to as free radicals. To become stable, oxidants steal electrons from other molecules and damage cell proteins and genetic material. This damage may leave the cell vulnerable to cancer. Antioxidants like the catechins found in tea inhibit specific enzyme activities that lead to cancer and repair DNA aberrations caused by oxidants.

One study showed the leaves of a single evergreen plant, Camellia sinensis, when is consumed for about five minutes released over 80 percent of its catechins. GREEN TEA contains higher levels of antioxidants than black tea because less of processing. Fermenting the tea leaves, which is part of processing tea leaves for black tea, converts these catechins to other compounds and reduces their health benefits. Therefore, GREEN TEA, because it is not fermented, retains more of its original anti-oxidants than black tea.

In one recent study by the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Shizuoka, Japan*, research showed that green tea, when combined with the drug Adriamycin, was more effective in treating a certain kind of ovarian sarcoma (cancer of the ovaries) than using the adriamycin alone.

This is a good new, of course further research is needed.
