Walnuts Can Prevent Breast Cancer

If you ask what foods can prevent breast cancer risk, walnuts are the answer. The researchers from the Marshall University School of Medicine was trying to figure out what ingredients are in the walnuts.

Walnuts are not too popular than many other foods touted as anti-cancer foods such as soybeans, tomatoes and others. But studies show that walnut consumption on a regular basis can reduce levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase healthy cholesterol (HDL) in the body.

Not only that, walnuts are also very well known to prevent and slow the progression of breast cancer. Walnuts are unique compared to other nuts because nuts are the only nut that contains alpha-linolenic acid, one type of omega-3 fatty acid that contains the most, as quoted from the Health, Tuesday (6/10/2009).

Sources other alpha-linolenic soybeans that is, flax seed, fish and some green vegetables, but only slightly and it implies nothing more than walnuts.

In his study, researchers wanted to know the effect of walnut consumption on the development of breast cancer in rats. Components contained in the walnut such as phytosterols, poly phenols, carotenoids, melatonin and omega-3 fatty acids are bio active components that can inhibit cancer formation of MDA-MB 231 or breast cancer.

To determine its effectiveness, an injected tumor cells in two groups of mice as a precursor of breast cancer. One group was fed the walnuts and the other group did not. After 10 days, tumor cells found in mice not given the growing walnuts, unlike mice that ate walnuts which was experiencing shrinking tumor cells.

From there, researchers from the Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology know that walnuts can indeed inhibit the growth of cancer cells, especially breast cancer. Researchers also found the content of eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) in the liver of mice given higher than walnuts mice not given the walnuts.

EPA and DHA are known to many in the marine fish such as salmon, sardines and others. But it also implies the canaries did not lose much. In addition to known benefits in preventing and inhibiting cancer growth, EPA and DHA also very good for the development and enhance the ability of the brain.

So next time you see the walnuts in a supermarket, there is no harm in buying it.

Food Saving Tips

Because the technique is not proper storage, waste is estimated to each family for more than 50 pounds of food each month.

Raw foods such as vegetables, fruits, milk, until the spices are included in the goods that could not last long and easily rot. Therefore, the appropriate storage system is essential to the food not wasted.

1. Eggs
Store eggs in the egg-like containers that are sold in the market and then stored in the refrigerator shelves. In this way the eggs can survive up to 4 weeks from date of purchase.

2. Meat
Keep the meat in a special container in the refrigerator closed to be used up to 3-4 days. If the new will be processed in a time long enough to freeze the meat in the freezer.

3. Hard cheese
Cheese in plastic wrap or airtight foil so the cheese can be used 2-4 months from the date of purchase.

4. Milk and yoghurt
Store yogurt in the refrigerator to keep the good bacteria remain alive until they reach the digestive tract and can consume up to 2 weeks post-purchase. In the meantime, you should not store milk in the fridge because the air temperature here tends to be warmer. This will shorten the life of milk.

5. Vegetables
Make sure the vegetables dry when stored. The remaining water in the stems or leaves can be speed up decay. You can also wrap the vegetables with dry paper.

6. Fruits
We recommend that you keep the fruit in a plastic container with ventilation. Separate the fruit that was rotten with the conditions. Especially for a peeled apple, you can sprinkle a little lemon juice to prevent rust. Avoid storing near vegetable apple because apple produces ethylene, a chemical compound that can make quick vegetable rot.

Eating candy trigger Criminal Child Behavior?

Although not categorized as healthy food, the sweetness of candy very popular kids. Many parents who forbid their children to eat candy because more candy than the bad side benefit.

What are the bad aspects of candy? First, vitamins in candy very little, almost non-existent. So even with fiber. Chewing also causes coughing, make fat, causing toothache, eliminating appetite, to make children become hyperactive.

Recent research even mentioned the children who are accustomed to eating candy from his childhood, during adult life tend to have criminal behavior. Researchers from the University of Cardiff, Wales, England, who did this research studied the data of 17,415 children born in April 1970 in England.


Research results are taken from the British Cohort Study in detail mention of health information and lifestyle these children in a certain period, such as the age of 5, 10, and adults.

At the age of 34 years of the respondents were interviewed if they had committed a crime. The result, 69 percent had violent acts or criminal turns out to have a history of eating candy hobby at the age of 10 years, compared with 42 percent who had no criminal record.

So, should parents flying the "flag war" on the candy? Not entirely so, said Simon Moore, a senior lecturer in the study of Violence and Society Research Group, University of Cardiff.

Moore argues, the link between candy and committed acts of violence occur because giving kids candy or other sweets to children every day, making the child can not learn to delay his wish. As a result, children become easy to act impulsively.

Some experts do not agree with Moore's theory. According to Melinda Johnson, a spokesman for the American Dietetic Association, said the link between candy and criminal behavior may be caused by lifestyle and parental upbringing.

So, parents need not fear to give sweets to the children for not excessive. In addition, make sure the candy is made from material given to healthy, contains no artificial coloring or formalin.

Green Tea and Prostate Health

New research suggests that green tea may help prevent the spread of prostate cancer. Specifically phytochemicals in green tea, called polyphenols attack growth factors and proteins, interrupting growth processes of tumors, thus preventing them from spreading to other organs. Since earlier studies suggests that the same natural plant substances might also help prevent the start of prostate cancer, researchers indicate that more studies are needed on green tea’s affect on fighting this common cancer. The best way to reduce your risk of prostate cancer still lies in eating a mostly vegetarian diet.

Studies on diet and cancer also show that green tea when tested with mice with an aggressive form of cancer can decrease the spread or metastasis of prostate cancer to liver, bone, and other parts of the body. Additional study of green tea may help develop a treatment to prevent the dormant, non threatening type of prostate cancer many men have in their 70’s & 80’s from becoming aggressive and fatal. Around six cups of green tea per day would contain the equivalent amount of polyphenols for individuals to help block the spread of cancer. Other data shows that the phytochemicals in green tea could inhibit the early phases of prostate cancer development.

The phytochemicals seem to increase the number of enzymes that help convert carcinogens to dormant, harmless forms. Many questions remain about the amount and frequency of green tea necessary to affect the formation of prostate cancer. Black tea has shown similar benefits to green tea, although they appear to have lower levels of the beneficial substances than green tea. Whatever the benefits of green tea, it would be a mistake to rely on tea alone for prevention. Studies suggest a variety of nutritional influences on prostate cancer risk. The use of Vitamin E may offer some protection. The antioxidant mineral selenium also seems protective. Most Americans get adequate amounts of selenium, but these studies used nutrition supplements, so the study participants achieved higher intake levels. It waits to be seen whether men can protect themselves by taking supplements, including multivitamins, with selenium. If total selenium intake exceeds 400 mcg per day, nerve damage and other side effects can occur in the individual.

Other good foods for natural nutrition are blueberries, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, flaxseed, soybeans, and tomatoes. Cooked tomatoes are actually a far better source than raw tomatoes because the cooking process releases the lycopene from cells.
