Much like cars, our body needs fuel to function properly. Depending on your activity level, you might need more fuel or less, but without fuel, we can not live. However, unlike automobiles are bodies do not run off of unleaded gasoline, instead we eat food as a source of fuel, which is broken down into different chemicals. One of the most common chemicals used by the body for energy is glucose or sugar.

Our body produces many chemicals to help aid in the process of breaking down food, including a hormone called insulin. Insulin is produced in the pancreas and helps to turn the glucose into energy. In those with diabetes, the insulin with either not properly break down the glucose or not produce enough insulin.

According to the American Diabetes Association, almost 24 million American’s have diabetes. This is about 8% of the total population in the United States and many of these individuals are unaware that they have it.

When many people think about Honda, they might fondly recall their reliable Honda Civic or perhaps one of Honda Motorcycles. However, Honda has many departments that deal with other aspects aside from just cars and motorcycles.

Honda’s robotic department is very well known and has recently announced a device that is intended to make it easier for seniors to use the stairs. While still in the very early experimental stage, this device could potentially help many seniors all across the world.

The DAV, or Disabled American Veterans, is an organization that has done tremendous work for many veterans since it was first founded over eighty years ago. This group has helped fight for the rights of soldiers who have fought in every war since World War I.

The idea behind the group evolved after a group of veterans met at a Christmas Party in 1919. This Christmas party, hosted by Judge Robert Marx, marked the beginning of the DAV, but officially September 25, 1920 is usually used to mark the day that the DAV was officially started. It was on this day that around 250 disabled veterans from all over the United States met in Cincinnati.

Today, veterans in America have many organizations that are available to help them in their day to day lives, but this was not always the case. In the beginning of the twentieth century, a tremendous increase in the number of disabled veterans left many veterans jobless, homeless, and without proper medical care. This changed in 1919 at a Christmas party hosted by Robert S. Marx.

Today, Veterans Day, is a very special day, where we can remember all of the many men and women who have served our country. Many of these brave souls gave their all so that we could have freedom.

Today, more and more Americans are over the age of sixty-five. About ten percent of baby boomers are now over sixty-five and this number is rapidly growing. Over the next twenty years, more than twenty percent of Americans will be over the age of sixty-five.

By using the medical techniques that have been developed over the last half century, geriatric medical care can be offered to those over sixty-five at a lower cost and more efficiently. Finding how to best utilize geriatric resources is imperative, because it is assumed that there will be too few trained specialists in the future.

There are many people all over the world who have Multiple Sclerosis. Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that affects the nervous system. Generally, the disease begins as a child or young adult and it is more common among women.

Multiple sclerosis is a Demyelinating disease, which means that it affects the myelin sheath. The myelin sheath is a protective layer that exists around the nerves. As the myelin deteriorates, the nerves become exposed and eventually they are no longer able to properly send signals throughout the body.

A recent study published in the Disease Models and Mechanisms journal has purported to have found what might be in large part responsible for the breakdown of the myelin sheath.

There are many age old adages that ring very true. One popular one is that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. A new report from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research Center, seems to confirm that regularly caring for your teeth might do more than just prevent bad breath.

This new study, which was announced in the September edition of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, found that seniors who participated in regular oral hygiene were less likely to contract pneumonia.

Today, people all over the World are living longer and better lives. Where those living in the nineteen-hundreds had a life expectancy of less than fifty years, today the average life expectancy is nearly eighty.
