Now more than ever: So many of our babies are premature! Why?

20

12% of all our babies will be born prematurely!

Everyone has always known someone who had a preemie (a baby born prior to 37 weeks in the womb) but at this rate, we all know a lot of someones! The Center for Disease Control studied 7 million babies over a decade, in an effort to understand why so many babies are born prematurely and any adverse affects they may experience.

Let's not forget that in most cases a preemie baby is not anyone's fault and in most instances there is nothing that could be done!

Apparently it can. Pollution, smoking, poverty and pollen counts all matter when it comes to asthma.

This is why, no matter how we feel about global warming, a healthy planet earth is vital to our own human health. We should all consider ourselves automatic environmentalists.

Here is the list of the worst cities in the country for asthma and some of the reasons why.

Did your city make the list? What are you doing to make your city or town a healthier place to live?

I hate to be such an old misery guts on a nice day like Father's Day.

But why is the news on AIDS still so terrible?

Why has a completely avoidable disease taken millions of women's lives and rendered children unwanted, unloved and uncared for? And why are so many babies still born with this disease?

My Liver Disease Story & the Birth Control Pill

I was in a car accident and suffer from herniated disks and arthritis of my spine. As life changing enough as that is when I received the report from my CT Scan they had other news to tell me as well. I have a liver disease. When the doctor explained how serious this could be and that I need to go to a specialist for further examination because I'm too young (22 years old) for this type of problem I became overwhelmed by emotion, but needed to find out all I could on my condition.
