 According
to the ACP, people with sleep apnea stop breathing
during sleep for around 10 seconds at least five times
per hour. People diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA) should not consider surgery, according to new
recommendations from the American College of Physicians
(ACP). Instead, ACP recommends that patients lose weight
and use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) as
initial therapy.

Great Attitude
 Once
a Bird asked a bee, After a continuous hard work, you
prepare the honey..........
But a man steals the honey.
Do you not feel sad?"
Then the Bee replied, Never......
Because a man can only steal my honey, not the art of
making honey.
This short story has a message for all of us, No one can
steal the result of your hard work, so never stop
trying.

According to Chevese Turner, CEO of BEDA (Binge Eating Disorder Association) “We must continue to raise awareness around weight stigma and how focusing on weight rather than health and valuing smaller sizes can, in fact, have a negative effect on the physical and mental health of a person-of-size—especially those who have or are predisposed to eating disorders.” The Binge Eating Disorder Association (BEDA) has launched its third annual National Weight Stigma Awareness Week (WSAW), September 23-27, 2013.
