EBMSP Medicina 2014/2[1] What is happiness, really? In conventional
development theory, it equals money and prosperity, as
measured by GNP (Gross National Product). But Bhutan,
the famously remote and beautiful Buddhist kingdom in
[5] the Himalayas, has been trying out a different concept.
Espoused by the country's King Jigme Singye Wangchuck,
its government uses a different standard called GNH,
or Gross National Happiness. It has underpinned
the country's approach to change and development.
[10] In 1998, Bhutan's prime minister Jigmi Thinley
identified the "Four Pillars" of GNH, which today form
the overall guiding principle for development in Bhutan.
The first is sustainable and equitable socio-economic
development. This stresses the improvement of physical,
[15] intellectual, social and economic health through services
such as health, education, trade and commerce, road and
bridge construction, employment, urban development and
housing. Education and health were provided free of cost
to all Bhutanese even though the country was still poor.
[20] The second pillar is conservation of the environment.
72% of Bhutan is forest, so there is pressure to fell
trees and sell timber, but the law protects nature. The
hydropower projects – main drivers of the country's
economy, are mostly "run-of-the-river" schemes which
[2]5 pose far less impact on the environment, and far
less human displacement, than would huge dams.
The third pillar is preservation and promotion of
culture. The Bhutanese government views this as a
crucial strategy to preserve the country's sovereignty.
[30] The fourth and the last pillar is good governance.
The Bhutanese believe that good governance is vital for
the happiness of the people. Development in Bhutan is
still very much a work in progress, importantly, it is today
serving as a catalyst for broader discussions worldwide
[35] on happiness – stoking ideas about whether governments
and peoples should accept happiness as a legitimate and
measurable pursuit.

Eat: A Diet to Ward Off Breast Cancer
Eating substantial amounts of fruits and vegetables may lower the risk for breast cancer, a new study has found, and some kinds may be more effective than others.
Researchers used well-validated nutrition questionnaires to examine the association of diet with the risk of invasive breast cancer in 182,145 women. They followed them with periodic examinations for an average of 24 years, during which there were 10,911 cases of invasive breast cancer. The study is in the International Journal of Cancer.
After controlling for many health, diet and behavioral variables, the scientists found that compared with having less than two and a half servings (about one cup) of fruits and vegetables a day, having five and a half servings or more was associated with an 11 percent lower breast cancer risk. The effect was especially significant with the most aggressive types of breast cancer.
''There are few potentially modifiable risk factors for breast cancer,'' said the lead author, Maryam S. Farvid, a research scientist at Harvard, ''and eating more fruits and vegetables would be a simple way to help lower the risk.''
The researchers found that cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, brussels sprouts and kale were especially strongly associated with reduced risk, as were yellow or orange vegetables including carrots, winter squash, yams and sweet potatoes.
