No, emphysema is not a form of cancer. Emphysema is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that is characterized by the destruction of the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. This leads to difficulty breathing, as the damaged air sacs are unable to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide effectively.
Emphysema is usually caused by long-term exposure to irritants, such as tobacco smoke, pollution, and chemical fumes. It is a progressive disease, which means that it gets worse over time.
While emphysema does not directly cause cancer, people with emphysema are at increased risk of developing lung cancer due to the damage caused to their lungs by the disease. Additionally, smoking is a major risk factor for both emphysema and lung cancer.
What foods to avoid while taking warfarin?
Coumadin (Warfarin) is an oral anticoagulant blocking the Vitamin K dependant enzymes in the body's coagulation (clot forming) system. It is broken down (metabolized) by the liver. Its effect needs to be carefully monitored to prevent over or under anticoagulation effect. Food can change the amount of Vitamin K in the body as well as changing the speed at which the liver breaks down the medication. As long as the intake is consistent (your diet is pretty constant) there are no restrictions on food intake. However eating foods occasionally that interact with coumadin can result in dangerous swings in the degree of anticoagulation (how thin the blood is).
These foods include (but not limited to):
Dark leafy green vegtables such as kale, collard greens, spinach, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, spinach.
Liver
Green Tea
Cheddar Cheese
Cranberry juice may effect INR (measure of thinness of the blood) by an unknown mechanism.

What forces a person to take a breath?
An involuntary reflex. When a person holds his or her breath and manages to continue holding it, eventually the individual will lose consciousness due to the lack of oxygen being supplied to the brain. At this point in time, the person can no longer continue to force the body to suffocate itself, and the body will then begin to breathe again while the person is unconscious.
========
Actually, it's not the lack of oxygen, it's the build up of carbon dioxide that triggers the autonomic nervous system to force you to breathe.
What are the circulations blood?
The heart is the only thing that propels the blood through the whole body. It works like a pump, sucking blood in, and then expelling it in the vast network of veins and arteries running from your brain to your toes. Average heartbeats are:
Adult: 60 to 100
Child: 70 to 140
Baby: 100 to 160
New born: 120 to 160
That's why heart-attacks are deadly by the way.
