Prostate is part of the male reproductive system. Prostate lies in front of the rectum and below the bladder. Prostate surrounding urethra, the urine channel. A healthy prostate is sized about seed of walnut. Male hormones (androgens) are responsible to make the prostate grows. However, if the prostate grows too large, certainly would be pressing the urethra. This will prolong or stop the urine flows from the bladder to the penis.

About Prostate Cancer. Prostate cancer will arise when cells in the prostate grows and multiply which is uncontrolled. Nodular tumors attack the surrounding tissue and can spread into the lymph nodes, bones, skeletal and other parts of the body. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, no.5 on Singapore’s men and the most common cancer on American men. Strategy in order to survive from prostate cancer is to detect at early stage. When prostate cancer can be found early and treated, expectations to recover nearly 100%.

Therefore, it is recommended to conduct medical examination of prostate. Cancer examination includes a medical test to diagnose early cancer before the symptoms start. Prostate cancer test should be performed at the age of 50. Men with a family history of prostate problems (father, uncle, or brother who has prostate cancer) can perform tests at the age of 45.

This glycemic level will not be complete if we did not discuss its digestion process. When we consume sugar in any form of carbohydrates, whether from food that has high glycemic index such as bread or low glycemic index like beans, the pancreas produces the major metabolic hormone called insulin. The task of insulin is to help the sugar to enter the cells, so that can be converted into energy by the mitochondria, and if the consumption of sugar is exceed, the insulin will save them for later use. When we eat sugar in sufficient quantities, the pancreas will produce enough insulin for it.

The problem is when we consume too much sugar, especially sugar that is easily absorbed then the production of insulin will be increase. If this happen for a long time, the body will get used to this insulin increase and as a result, for the same amount of sugar, it will produce more insulin. Just like drug addiction.

First of all drugs in certain doses could heal. But if the pain replies and also having too much drugs, the body will get used to the drug and its effect is reduced, so that for the same illness, it is required more doses. This could turn into a horrible cycle. When the amount of insulin is more than sugar, the body encourages us to consume more sugar (the opposites). And as we consume sugar, the body will produce insulin rapidly in large quantities and continues like that.

At the same time, all the excess sugar is stored in the form of fat, which slows the metabolism and causes various diseases of dementia, heart disease and cancer. This is called prediabetic, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance or X syndrome.

Cancer occurs due to changes in the cells that released from the normal setting mechanism. Cancer itself is a term that describes a condition of disease that marked by growth of cells that normally uncontrolled, that is multiplication and spreading.

However, if the factors that control the cell fission are no longer functioning normally, then this condition is called cancer disease. On cancer sufferer are often accompanied by the existence of a syndrome kaheksia which is syndrome that marked by clinical symptoms of anorexia, changes in sense of taste, weight loss, anemia, metabolic disorder of carbohydrate, proteins and fats.

Lung cancer is the cancer that most often occurs, both men and women. Lung cancer is the leading cause of death due to cancer. Types of Lung Cancer, more than 90% of lung cancers originated from bronchi (large tract into the lungs), this cancer called carcinoma bronkogenik, which consist of squamous cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, large cell carcinoma , and Adenokarsinoma. Lung tumor that rarely happen is: adenoma (can be malignant or benign), Hamartoma kondromatous (benign) and Sarcoma (malignant).

Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymph system, which can come from the lungs or spread from other organ. Many cancers from elsewhere that spread to the lungs. This cancer usually comes from the breast, colon, prostate, kidney, thyroid, stomach, cervix, rectum, testicles, bones and skin.
