The salmon can help make a smart brain

Salmon is the best source of omega-3, DHA and EPA. All three are important to help the growth and brain function. EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) is believed to play an important role in the prevention of heart disease, while DHA (docosahezaenoic acid) needed for brain development and nerve.

Final research study - recently stated that the individuals who consume these fatty acids in their diet have a much mind sharp. The study, published in the International Journal of Cancer shows that omega-3 that contain DHA and EPA help to protect against the occurrence of breast cancer.

10 Food Causes Disease

There are interesting facts about food as we think is healthy, it can also cause disease. At least according to data reported by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI).

The agency analyzes the data and Prevention Center for Disease Control United States (CDC) about the disease that arises due to the food starting in 1990. Most diseases caused by Norovirus contamination, E. coli and salmonella bacteria.

The plane crew Spreader H1N1 virus?

The airline workers who remain at work when sick is suspected to be the source of the spread of viral infections, such as H1N1, compared with a sick passenger. According to experts, workers at the airport with a lower fee even become a source of infection is more dangerous.

Dr.Michael Bell, an expert in the field of infectious diseases from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S., said, flight attendants or stewards and other workers more mobile in the plane can actually leave the bacteria in a variety of surfaces. "Passengers who are sick instead just quietly in her seat," he said.

Still, the biggest danger could come from airline workers or workers who pay lower airport, such as janitor. Received small wages and low benefits makes them difficult to get sick leave. "Individually they may be spreading infections," he said.

To anticipate the spread of disease transmission, the current American health authorities ask people who are sick to travel first. In addition, workers who are sick are also asked not to work and isolate themselves at home until his condition improved.

"Avoiding that airline workers do not become a source of transmission of infection is less complex because there are many variations of labor they have," said Bell. Moreover, the contract employees is the biggest part of the workforce there.

The link between risk of disease transmission on aircraft and the airport has become a big issue in the United States. Especially when the temperature is cooler autumn in the northern hemisphere will cause spikes feared H1N1 cases.

While awaiting the arrival of H1N1 vaccine, the U.S. Defense Department insisted that even workers in the airline to improve personal hygiene, both among employees or passengers, for example by way of washing hands more often.

The spread of germs could be resisted through the air cleaning system. Commercial aircraft are generally equipped with ventilation systems that can capture pathogenic germs and prevent the spread.

Antioxidants exacerbate Diabetes

Antioxidants are substances known as antidote to all kinds of diseases. But this is not true for diabetes. Researchers from Australia found the consumption of antioxidant supplements aggravate the risk of diabetes.

Antioxidants are bio active compounds that function to counteract the free radicals cause many diseases such as cancer. Consumers believe that by consuming antioxidants, the body will be spared from the disease. But researchers found the facts proved the opposite.

"In this study we have done, just not a good antioxidant for type 2 diabetes and also exacerbate the disease," said Tony Tiganis of Monash University, Australia as reported by Reuters on Wednesday (7/10/2009).

Antioxidants are compounds that can prevent cell damage caused by reactive particles of reactive oxygen. The existence of these particles cause oxidative stress processes that can lead to various diseases in the body.

Cell Metabolism in the Journal noted that diabetes can occur when a person consuming antioxidants too much.

"Antioxidants have long been recognized as a substance that can fight disease, so many are taking in supplement form. But those who frequent such supplements actually increase the risk of diabetes. It's a little confusing, but that's a fact that we found in the field," said Tiganis.

Tiganis and colleagues studied the effects of oxidative stress in rats fed fat diet for 12 weeks. Mice used consists of two distinct groups. One of the group 2 animals were Gpxl enzyme deficiency, an enzyme that helps fight the oxidation process.

After 12 weeks, researchers found that mice that lack the enzyme to produce the hormone insulin Gpxl a bit. This is an early sign of diabetes. But when researchers tried to give the mice with antioxidants, insulin levels decreased even more and become more diabetes.

Tiganis said that the actual process of oxidative stress trigger the disease by inhibiting the enzyme Gpxl work, not by destroying the body cells.

Inhibition of enzymes working Gpxl make the body unable to use insulin more to describe the excess sugar. Thus, the system will be disturbed metabolism and body protection system from disease is reduced. And the addition of antioxidant protection system actually aggravate the already troubled body was.

"Antioxidants can cause the body immune to insulin, so the intake of sugar entering the body can not be broken down by insulin resistance and diabetes risk was increasing," explained Tiganis.

Negative effects of excess use of antioxidants in the body has become a controversy until now. Several other studies have mentioned that the antioxidant does not have a significant effect on the body, even the mention of antioxidants may shorten the age of worms and humans.

"I believe a person can be healthy only with the consumption of healthy foods and exercise, do not have any antioxidant supplements. We may never know the doses that we drink, and all that excess is not good for the body," said Tiganis.

Car drivers with Open Roof Deaf Experiencing Risk

Driving a car with a retractable roof does make the rider look cool and be the center of attention. But Did you know that driving a car like that can cause hearing damage.

The experts warned that driving a car with an open roof which can cause serious disruption to the ear. Open roof car at 50 mph to 70 mph, or equal to 80 km / h to 112 km / hour can disrupt the ears due to sound generated by air movement or wind.

The specialist ear, nose and throat says that exposure to noise from engine, road, traffic and wind which occurs continuously can cause someone to lose his hearing permanently (deaf or deaf). Researchers suggested should open the roof of the car driver was using ear protection, as did the bikers.

In this study measured the noise level during the trip the driver at different speeds and the results have been published in the journal Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.

If driving a car with a speed of 50 miles per hour, 60 miles / hour and 70 miles per hour, the resulting noise reaches 88 decibels to 90 decibels. These results means higher than the threshold limit has been agreed as the risk of permanent hearing damage in the amount of 85 decibels.

It also conducted tests on highways and roads outside rush hour, the results found the same noise level about 90 decibels with the highest level is 99 decibels.

Researchers add the open roof of a car driver can reduce noise by increasing the window while driving, this can reduce the noise level to 82 decibels.

"As a result of exposure to high noise levels may be only felt after a few years later, even if exposure occurred only a few hours," said Dr Mark Downs, from the Royal National Institute for Deaf People, as quoted by the BBC, Wednesday (7/10/2009).

In comparison a quiet room at night the noise level of 20 decibels, normal conversation 60 decibels, a busy street 70 decibels, 80 decibels of people screaming and the plane took off 130 decibels. If you have a car with a retractable roof, we suggest you use ear protectors to avoid hearing damage later on.

A day off, Can That

Like a computer that periodically need to be defrag, so even with our minds and souls that must be arranged so that its performance remains stable. How? Take advantage of a day on the weekends to rest in order to achieve life balance.

Busyness and routine work from Monday-Friday, plus overtime at the weekend certainly exhausting and mind. After a long time this can lead to fatigue, both physical and psychological. Therefore we need to pause for a moment to escape from daily routine.

You can follow the advice of Prof.. Edward T. Creagen, MD, cancer specialist from Mayo Clinic, to make the day Sunday (or any other day at the end of work time) to rest and make it as a tactic to survive as a modern human.

You can arrange for a Sunday free from the things related to work. These included not touching email or phone call. Because if not, it means you just moved into the home office location.

Doing things fun for yourself, such as gardening, playing with children, or pamper yourself at the salon. Ensure that these activities do not increase your stress.

We enjoyed the holiday, take some time to contemplate, too. Apply a light meditation to restore balance of body and mind health. That way, after the holiday weekend, not just the brain and the body fresher, you also have a lot more energy to start the day. So no more syndrome "I hate Monday."
