Jamaica Gleaner Profiles in Medicine
published: Wednesday | March 22, 2006

Abusive relationships - WHY DO MEN ABUSE WOMEN?
Why do men abuse women, and why do some women stay in abusive relationships? Abusive relationships may take the following forms: Emotional abuse: Threats, belittling, attempts to invalidate, emotional injury, humiliation.

WHY DO WOMEN STAY?
We cannot pretend that this is an easy question to answer. And, from the outset, we should not stereotype women; not all women stay. Many women, from all walks of life, do leave and are leading beautiful, fulfilling lives.


The virtues of dietary fibre
WE HAVE been told at some time or another that roughage is a good thing to have in our diet for our bowel's sake, but roughage is not such a popular word anymore, now we hear a lot about fibre and its many benefits.


Exercise to reduce cholesterol
OUR BODY synthesises cholesterol naturally because it is essential in the formation of bile acids which we use in fat digestion. Cholesterol is also an essential component of cell membranes, and is found in large amounts in the brain and nerve tissue.
