Small asbestos fibers that enterrepparttar air do not evaporate and can remain suspended inrepparttar 113911 air for a long time. These fibers, when breathed intorepparttar 113912 body, are toxic. There are three types of asbestos exposure.

Occupational asbestos exposure: People working in factories that manufacure asbestos are likely to have a high exposure to asbestos and are most at risk of developing asbestosis or mesothelioma.

Paraoccupational asbestos exposure: Family members of workers exposed to asbestos inrepparttar 113913 workplace are susceptible to exposure from asbestos dust brought home byrepparttar 113914 worker on his clothes or skin.

Neighborhood asbestos exposure: Those who live inrepparttar 113915 vicinity of an asbestos manufacturing plant are also at risk.

Mesothelioma is still a relatively rare form of cancer. There are an estimated 2,000 - 3,000 new cases per year inrepparttar 113916 United States. Approximately 7-13 per one million male patients with a history of asbestos exposure contract mesothelioma. Diagnosis usually occurs 20-40 years after initial exposure to asbestos.

Wine and Digestion

Wine aids inrepparttar production and flow of gastric juices. This facilitates digestion by breaking downrepparttar 113910 food inrepparttar 113911 stomach quickly and effectively. For many, afterrepparttar 113912 age of 50 our bodies do not produce enough hydrochloric acid that are needed for digestion. So many doctors, including my own, have suggested a glass or two of wine with a meal. Who am I to complain?

Wine also has a tranquil effect onrepparttar 113913 body and helps people who have trouble sleeping. And it does not stop there as it may help lowerrepparttar 113914 risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer´s disease.

Wine and Calories

As of now, there is no such thing as a diet wine. Unfortunately, there is no getting away fromrepparttar 113915 fact that wine contains calories and calories make you fat if you do not burn them up. A glass of white or red wine contains around 100 calories. Sweeter wines that contain residual sugar as well as alcohol have more calories.

Final Thoughts

When you put everything together you may decide that a little bit of wine does you some good. Wine certainly has its place in a healthy lifestyle. That is my conclusion, and I am sticking with it!
