With a non-12 step recovery program, the addict will be taught how to control their addiction habits and fight against them so that they can fully recover from the addiction. Of course, this is not just simply giving counseling to addicts to help them figure out the root of the addiction and help them recover. This method will also include detoxification as the main point of healing the addicts. This also will include giving therapy and education to help the addicts recover from their addiction. Of course, the personal health and good nutrition will also be the aspects of this method. So, instead of telling the addicts that they are victims and they need to attend group sessions to help stay away from the addiction, giving an education of how to live free from addiction is better because the essence of drug addiction treatment should be how to help the addicts enjoy the rest of their lives free from addiction and not keep telling them that they are the victims and they need the help.

This is evident in the United States. According to data from years 1999 – 2007 are reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States. Highest mortality occurred in the productive age.

CDC officials said, about 3.2 million Americans infected with hepatitis C, a major cause of liver cancer and cirrhosis (hardening of the liver). An estimated one third of adults infected are unaware they are infected because the disease progression is slow.

Hepatitis C is transmitted through the use of unsterile needles, blood transfusion, and sexual relations. In some cases, transmission may also occur from mother to fetus.

“Chronic hepatitis is the leading cause of preventable premature death. However early detection and intervention of this disease can be cheaper and save lives,” said Dr.Scott Holmberg, president of the division of the CDC viral hepatitis.

The last study to determine the number of hepatitis cases in the United States published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Recent data show deaths from hepatitis C has reached 15,000, surpassing the 13,000 HIV deaths. Death is also more common in middle-aged people.

“About 73 percent of deaths from hepatitis C occurs in the elderly 45-64 years,” said Holmberg.

Current hepatitis C vaccine does not exist. If this continues, the trend increasingly the case, his death in 2030 is estimated at 35,000 per year.

According Dr.Eugene Schiff, director of the Center for Liver Disease, the current treatment of hepatitis has become one of the obstacles. ”The treatment now includes anti-virus and interferon patients often can not be tolerated,” he said.

He added, in two years may already be there so that the effects interferon-free treatment side are less well tolerated and patients.

“The athletes or people who exercise for fitness are both going to get an optimal physical recovery from drinking chocolate milk low fat, after working hard,” said Dr. John Ivy of the University of Texas, Austin, USA, who led the research.
Those who drank chocolate milk after exercise also has a body composition with more muscle and less fat. Furthermore endurance becomes longer, and more generally in better shape than participants who consumed a sports drink that contains carbohydrates alone.
Research conducted Ivy and his team conducted comparing the benefits of physical recovery in those who drank chocolate milk after exercise with a sports drink that has the same composition and the number of calories in sports drinks on the market.
Tests conducted by asking 10 athletes bike to ride a bike for 90 minutes at moderate intensity then increased to a high intensity for 10 minutes.
The researchers found athletes have more energy and pedal faster if they eat chocolate milk low in fat compared to sports drinks or soft drinks calories.
The researchers also tested 32 men and women cyclists to exercise speed (spinning) five times a week, followed by the consumption of three drinks tested.
The result, after 4.5 months of training, the chocolate milk drinkers had an increased maximum oxygen consumption compared to the other. Maximal oxygen consumption is an indicator of aerobic endurance athlete and the ability to exercise continuously.
The cyclists of chocolate milk also form more muscle and trim more fat during exercise.
“We are not the mechanism that causes a milk chocolate low-fat is beneficial for athletes. But protein and carbohydrates combined naturally in these drinks can be no impact,” said Ivy.
In addition to drinking right after an effort, he also stressed the importance of the recovery period of three minutes after exercise.

During exercise, the muscles in your body has to work hard and need to be restored with adequate food intake. Here is a list of foods you should eat before or after exercise:

1. Milk chocolate
One study showed that chocolate milk has an optimal ratio of carbohydrates to protein to help restore power and repair damaged muscle after exercise. In the study researchers recruited eight male runners who drank 500 ml of fat free chocolate milk and 500 ml sports drink soft drinks. The results showed that chocolate milk are able to repair and rebuild muscles better than a carbohydrate drink.

2. Coffee
Caffeine has long been known to help increase alertness and endurance. An Australian study found that runners who take about 95 mg of caffeine (the equivalent of 250 ml cups of coffee) can increase their running mileage. In addition, a small study from the University of Georgia involving female volunteers who were given moderate doses of caffeine (roughly equivalent to two cups of coffee) is known the effect can be prevented muscle soreness after training by 48 percent. But researchers also cautioned not to consume excessive amounts of coffee.

3. Almonds
In addition to being a good source of fiber, protein, calcium, magnesium and potassium, almonds are one of the best sources of vitamin E alpha-tocopherol – that can be easily absorbed by the body. According to the 2002 study, vitamin E may help relieve muscle pain caused by rigorous exercise. Vitamin E functions as an antioxidant, protecting muscle of molecules that are highly reactive and unstable – so-called free radicals generated during exercise. Please note, free radicals have made muscle pain and impair performance.

4. Banana
Bananas are good food choices for your body to fuel consumption, before or after exercise. Bananas contain a natural sugar that provides energy for the body when you do physical activity. Bananas are a rich source of potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, fiber, and manganese. Potassium than bananas helps maintain blood pressure remains normal, improve heart function and also prevents muscle fatigue.

5. Pineapple and papaya
Pineapple and papaya contain many enzymes – bromelain and papain respectivamente – which can help increase muscle strength and elasticity. These enzymes help break down protein not only for digestion, but also has anti-inflammatory properties to speed up recovery after exercise.

6. Beans and legumes
Nuts are high in protein and fiber. They are very good at regulating blood sugar. You can prevent heart disease by including legumes in the diet, as well as its ability to reduce cholesterol in the blood. Legumes are rich in complex carbohydrates – the responsibility to provide nutrients for energy to muscles and brain.

7. Fish
Fish protein is easily digested and easily absorbed by the body. The omega-3 fatty acids in fish help lower cholesterol, maintain the flexibility of arteries and veins and strengthen the heart muscle. Omega-3 can also repair damaged muscles after exercise.
8. Eggs
Eggs are rich in amino acids that can be converted into muscle, skin, collagen and other tissues of the body more efficiently than protein from other foods. Boiled eggs are the best food for your muscles after a workout. The eggs are better than carbohydrates and makes you feel full longer.

9. Avocado
Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fat, high in the source of potassium and vitamins A, B1, D, E, K and B. Lawyers are often used in alternative medicine to treat arthritis, high cholesterol, and gum disease. The lawyers are not only rich in vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins and carbohydrates, but also making it an ideal choice as the necessary food before and after exercise.

10. Spinach
Spinach is a source of muscle fuel. Some experts have examined the effect of chemicals extracted from spinach (phytoecdysteroids) in samples of human muscle in the laboratory. They found that protein synthesis increased by 120 percent of the participants and help repair muscle tissue faster after workouts. However, you’ll need to eat more than 1 kg of spinach every day to be able to obtain benefits.

1. ”Wheat grass”

Wheat grass or wheat grass is commonly called a super food. There is strong evidence that consumption in the form of wheat grass juice every day can prevent and cure certain types of cancer. Wheat grass high in trace elements, such as lysine, vitamin C, calcium, chlorophyll, and proteins.

2. Leafy green salad

Many greens options that can be included in your daily menu, such as spinach, kale, broccoli and cabbage. However, it would be nice if you like, in the form of raw vegetables or steamed. Vegetables should not be boiled because it can eliminate many of the vitamins. The greens are very good for your health when eaten raw.These vegetables are high in vitamin A, C and K, iron, calcium and folic acid. They are also the main source of fiber.

3. Fruit juices and vegetables

Consumption of fruit juices and vegetables are the best way to get large amounts of antioxidants. For maximum results, add a few pieces of garlic cloves in the juice of fruit or vegetables you, because garlic is used as a natural antibiotic.

4. A handful of nuts and seeds daily
Raw almonds, coconuts, cashews, walnuts, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds are a good food packaging. Why say nutritious? This is because these types of nuts and seeds contain these “good fats” (monounsaturated) the body needs to lower cholesterol.

5. Eat fruit daily

This method is quite simple and you can do it anywhere. The trick: take a piece of fruit in the bag when you leave for work. However, earlier (before breakfast), eat a piece of fruit or a handful of grapes. At noon, eat fruits that have been re-take, and last before bed.
