THIS WILL NOT CHANGE IN BELIZE... AT LEAST NOT TODAY!!

I keep wondering when things will change in Belize. Well, today I have decided to stop wondering. I have come face to face with a reality that is too much. Things will never change in Belize. That can be good or bad. Depending on what it is you are thinking or doing.

1. Belizean Bad Mind
This will never change. There will always be envy, hatred and jealousy towards each other because we cannot help ourselves. We compare ourselves to others, we want what they have and we want to see them suffer. THAT IS THE TRUTH ABOUT BELIZEAN BAD MIND.

2. Jobs SCARCITY
This will never change. We have so many young people coming out of Univeristy and Sixth Form these days and there will NEVER be enough jobs for them to each have at least one! This will create laziness because when the sould seeker of a job realizes there isn´t that dream job he or she was expecting, they will loose heart and ssit back and relax in this jewel called Belize.

3. Crime Rate Going UP
This will not change. Because there are not enough jobs, and because some people prefer to no work, we will have a lot of criminals looking for the easy way to attaining things. Sad but true. We create criminals.

4. The Cost of Living Going UP.
This will not change. All we can do right now is sit back and hurt! Everything is going up except our salaries!! So the shop keeper sees less of us buying in stores and we see less food on our tables. Then the Government goes into schools and say the children are under nourished!! Hell, I wonder why!! Do you?

SO WHAT WILL CHANGE? WHAT WILL BE DIFFERENT?
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. YOU CAN MAKE A CHANGE. DO YOU WANT TO?
LOOK DEEP WITHIN YOUR HEARTY AND SAY "I CAN MAKE A CHANGE. I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE." THAT IS STEP ONE!

Step two is to get up and be heard. YOU HAVE A VOICE. USE IT. SAY HOW YOU REALLY FEEL. FORGET POLITICS. IT DOES NOT FEED US. IT DOES NOT CLOTH US. NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE. NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS. SPEAK OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE!!!!

Diabetics can lower heart attack risk

CAMBRIDGE, England (UPI) -- A meta-analysis found people who have diabetes but maintain low-blood sugar levels are at less risk for heart attacks, researchers in Britain say.

Dr. Kausik Ray of the University of Cambridge and colleagues said the meta-analysis pooled information from five large trials.

The study, published in The Lancet, determined there was a 17 percent reduction in heart attacks and a 15 percent reduction in coronary heart disease. The study also found a more modest trend toward reduction of strokes with intensive control of glucose levels compared with standard care.

The researchers, in contrast to smaller studies that suggested possible harm from better blood sugar control, found no adverse impact on the risk of death from any cause.

The five trials involved more than 33,000 individuals, including 1,497 heart attack cases, 2,318 cases of coronary heart disease and 1,227 strokes.

"Previous studies have been inconclusive, leaving diabetics and their doctors unsure as to whether maintaining lower blood-sugar levels actually benefited the patients," Ray, the lead author, said in a statement.

"Although additional research needs to be conducted, our findings provide insight into the importance of improving glucose levels, which should include lifestyle changes as well as medication."
