The analysis of 25 studies involving 600 people showed, consume 67 grams of nuts (equivalent to a small bag) every day can reduce cholesterol levels up to 7.4 percent. However, experts do not recommend the consumption of peanuts mixed with sugar or salt.

Not only cholesterol, apparently nuts are also useful for reducing triglycerides, blood fats, are associated with heart disease. Benefits of nuts is more pronounced in those classified as obese body weight.

Aside from being a source of fiber and a good vegetable protein, researchers can not explain how the mechanism of the cholesterol-lowering nut. One theory states, the content of phytosterol which is naturally present in nuts will prevent the absorption of cholesterol by the body.

Nuts are a food that is cheap and accessible. Buncing, red beans, peas, or soybeans, when processed into various types of food. In addition to make vegetable, beans are also delicious when eaten by boiling. So, there’s no reason to exclude this food in our daily menu.

Zinc also encourage our immune system. When we had the flu, the researchers believed that cough medicines containing zinc can help stop the virus replication by half. In other studies also showed that zinc has been used to overcome the injury, prevent diarrhea, and slow macular degeneration (a condition causing vision problems).

This mineral is so important, even we need a daily intake of certain amount. But because our bodies can not produce these minerals in nature, we need to consume lots of foods that contain zinc, like oysters, crab, tenderloin, shrimp (steamed or boiled), mushrooms, or spinach.

To get more intake of zinc, following which you can do:
1. Limit your intake of alcohol and coffee. Both types of drinks will increase our desire to urinate. The more often you urinate, the more we remove the zinc.

2. Do not cook too well. Food wich steamed, baked, or boiled too long, will reduce the zinc content by half. Nuts were among the most easily affected.

3. Eat unprocessed foods. Content of zinc in wheat will be lost up to 75 percent when processed. As far as possible avoid too white bread.

4. Add milk formula with zinc for infants. If you are still able to breastfeed the child until the age of six months, you can try adding milk formula with zinc content with your breast milk.

5. Eat lean meat. If you’re not a vegetarian, the best way to get a daily intake of zinc is to eat meat. Fish can be a good source of zinc.

6. Nuts. If you do not like to eat meat, add beans to salads or other menus to boost the amount of zinc. Once again, do not cook it too long so sengnya insoluble content.

Dr. Kristen Bibbins-Domingo, researcher from the University of California, San Francisco, United States, recently published his research results on the incidence of heart disease with softdrink consumption.

She said the increasing consumption of soft drinks are generally high in sugar, have an impact on the 130,000 new cases of diabetes, 14,000 new cases of heart disease, and 50,000 people with heart problems in the last decade.

“From the results of this study can be concluded, all policies that could reduce the softdrink consumption may be positive impact on public health,” said Dr. Kristen Bibbins-Domingo .

By using computer simulation, heart disease associated with a variety of factors, such as obesity and consumption of food containing salt. “So far, we underestimated the incidence of heart disease softdrink because it is more popular drinks on teenagers. The focus of research this disease more adults over the age of 35 years,” said Domingo.

She added, the link between the incidence of cardiovascular disease and diabetes is very real. However, the increasing obesity factors may also be influential.

“Various studies show the impact of consumption of sugary drinks. For decades an increase in consumption of sweet drinks,” she said.

The experts warn, to prevent diabetes, we must reduce the intake of beverages with added sugar. If diabetes is diagnosed with blood sugar, weight, blood pressure and blood fat levels must be controlled. If a sport is not controlled, should be done with drugs.

The researchers used the papaya leaf extract was dried and used as papaya leaf tea.

In research conducted known Dang, papaya leaf extract will produce molecules called TH1 type of cytokines that help improve the body’s immune system. This will support the therapeutic use of the immune system to fight cancer.

Experts say, papaya extract has no toxic effect on normal cells and thus more secure than cancer therapy in general. In his research, 10 types of cancer cell culture and mixed with papaya leaf extract and then observed for 24 hours. Proved, papayas slow the growth of tumor cells in all types of cancer.

And if someone has lost a lot of water, the body can not long survive the risk of death to be its greatest threat.

As reported by the Health, Monday (15/2/2010), three people died and several others seriously ill last week after performing rituals in the detoxification of an expensive spa in Arizona. The spa owner, James Arthur Ray was finally arrested on the case.

According to Dr. Rachel Vreeman of the Indiana University School of Medicine, action cleanse the body through excessive transpiration is very dangerous.

“The body is already designed to be able to perform natural detoxification process through the various processes in the organs of the body,” said Dr. Vreeman.

Some organs are functioning out toxins in the body include:
Liver, remove toxins function in the blood that can not be used by the body.
Kidney function out toxins in the urine which is a product of protein metabolism.
Intestinal function remove what can not be used by the body and what your body can use.

“As long as there is a myth that these organs is a place to accumulate toxins, which have released through sweat, but that’s not true. The primary function of sweat is not to remove the poison, but to regulate body temperature,” explained Dr Vreeman.

Although the main component of sweat is water, but sweat also contains some dissolved minerals and other elements, such as sodium, lactate, urea, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, nickel, insisted, chromium and others.

None of toxicity in sweat. So if a person sweats, the substance is missing most of the body is water, not poison. And if someone has lost a lot of water, the body can not survive for long.

The term detox is usually perceived as something that must be done to remove toxins in the body, and that according to Dr. Vreeman make someone does not believe in his own body.

“The body does not need treatment or special effort to clean up. All it takes is getting enough fluid intake and consumption of healthy food,” said Dr. Vreeman.

Some studies say that doing the sauna can lower blood pressure, increases blood flow and cardiac function. But none of the evidence or study that says that a sauna can remove toxins.

However, in some states in America still found in places where promising detoxification through perspiration. In fact it has become part of the culture and tradition there. They believed that the sweat can clear the mind and body.

Women Mayan and Aztec tribes such as using sweat as part of a ritual to obtain fertility. While the men to use sweat as a preparation for hunting and others.

In an environment that is too hot or too cold, sweat serves to balance how much heat to be generated or how many are already released. But if the sweat expelled continuously for a long time, the body can not cool the body with enough.

As a result, some symptoms such as skin burns, dehydration, shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, fainting, kidney failure and even death can occur

The answer: Yes. Are we doing the road around the housing area or walk on the treadmill, both these techniques are both activities that aim to strengthen our bones.

“To strengthen the bones, we need to move our muscles and bones of an opponent with the force of gravity,” says Wayne L. Westcott, Ph.D., fitness research director of the South Shore YMCA in Quincy, MA. Result, the bone will be able to adapt to our weight and the withdrawal of the muscle cells would make the production more and more and make our bones stronger.

We tend to choose to walk on asphalt or concrete soil than in clay. Even though good for the bones, but walking on a hard surface will give excessive influence and pressure on our muscles and bones, making it easier to trigger the occurrence of injuries in the legs when walking.

However the way and walking surface you choose, try to always wear shoes with good quality sports facilities and vibration-absorbing soles thick in the middle

Sports and injuries go hand-in-hand with each other. Because all sports entail physical exertion, it’s almost inevitable that a sports player will be injured. Any professional player will agree that when injured, ignoring the pain and continuing to engage in the sport is never the right thing to do. Here’s why you should never try to play through and injury.

An injury can be anywhere from mild to severe, and even life-threatening in the extreme cases. Because there are some instances in which the extent of the injury isn’t immediately apparent, it’s important that when you’re injured you stop playing until you are certain of the nature and degree of the injury.

The most common injury is one form or another of a strain or a sprain. What’s the difference between a sprain and a strain? The only real difference is that a sprain involves the tough, fibrous tissues called ligaments, and a strain involved a muscle or a tendon (The tissue that connects muscles to bone). In either case, the tissue is stretched, sometimes to the point of tearing. Because the knee and the ankle absorb much of the impact and also bear a considerable amount of the body’s weight, they are very popular for this type of injury.

When this type of injury occurs, it’s important to not ignore or play through the pain. Doing so could aggravate the injury and cause it to become more severe than it initially is. As such, you could not only be out of play for a longer period of time, you could also do a greater amount of damage which may not allow you to ever play sports again. This can be said of all types of sports injuries.

There’s an old myth still circulating out there that if a person suffers a concussion they will do one or two things. They may lose consciousness or become disoriented and confused. The reality is that a person can suffer a concussion and show neither of these to signs. This is a type of injury that needs to be examined to evaluate the degree of the injury. Continuing to play a contact sport while suffering from a concussion could aggravate the injury to the point of unconsciousness or, sadly, death.

Team dedication is admirable, and in the passion of the moment it may seem that being loyal to your team is the appropriate thing to do. However, playing through an injury is never a wise choice.

“We’ve created a level of food based on the quality of these foods to fight cancer. What we consume every day could be chemotherapy for ourselves,” Li said, as quoted by AFP on Thursday (11/2/2010).

Scientists identify chemical ingredients contained in food. These chemicals have the function to stop the flow of blood supply to the tumor tissue so that cancer cells will be starved which will die.

Li cited a study at Harvard Medical School that showed a man with the consumption of cooked tomatoes a few times a week can reduce the likelihood of prostate cancer as much as 30-50 times.

“There’s a medical revolution that is happening around us. If this is true, it will have an impact on consumer education, food service, public health and insurance institutions,” he added.

Eating a variety of these foods together to make the fight against cancer properties become more effective and powerful. For some people around the world that can not afford cancer drugs, the possibility can make the treatment of cancer through diet as the only best solution to fight the cancer cells in her body.

Currently about a dozen drugs have been used to stop the blood supply to tumors by using the tactics of treatment called anti-angiogenesis “. But almost certainly that the treatment for cancer is not a cheap treatment
