Come Out of It

Quote 10 sLtnal

For the more than two decades, One hope has been quietly going about it’s mission to remind the world that there is more to life than what we see on the surface – that most of all human beings have a spiritual root that when tapped into can produce nothing short of the miraculous.

We are a divers group of believers covering the globe all with one aim in mind – that of lifting the hearts and minds of man to the things of God.

We seek not to tell mankind what it should be doing.

We seek only to show mankind what they are missing.

What Our Microbiomes Say About Us

Researchers estimate the total surface area of the human gut at 3,000 square feet — larger than a tennis court — with the number of microbes in it outnumbering human cells 10 to one.

Though words like “bacteria” and “fungi” might commonly be associated with infections or disease, the ones found in the microbiome are the peacekeepers of your body, helping digest food, fight disease and regulate the immune system.

Today, researchers at the Center for Microbiome Innovation at the University of California, San Diego are trying to map and understand this crucial component of our health through the American Gut project — a slight misnomer, as the project has collected over 10,000 samples from more than 43 countries.

“There’s more bacteria in your gut than there are stars in the universe, by a long shot,” Rob Knight, the center’s director, said as he stood next to a map of bacteria taken from people all over the globe.

Weight Loss Shown to Reduce Cancer Risk, Study

Two recently published studies emphasize the relationship between excess weight and cancer. The first was recently published in the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Report (MMWR) and determined that in 2014, 40% of all cancers in the U.S. are obesity- or overweight-related cancers. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), at least 13 cancers (with an emphasis on the words at least, and also cancer) are clearly linked to excess body fat.

For the study, researchers from the CDC (C. Brooke Steele, DO,; Cheryll C. Thomas, MSPH, S. Jane Henley, MSPH, Greta M. Massetti, PhD, Deborah A. Galuska, PhD, Tanya Agurs-Collins, PhD, Mary Puckett, PhD, and Lisa C. Richardson, MD) analyzed data from the United States Cancer Statistics and found that from 2005 to 2014 the incidence of all overweight- and obesity-related cancers (except for colorectal cancer) increased significantly among people from 20 to 74 years old.
