Coffee cuts Prostate Cancer risk

>> Friday, April 30, 2010

Regular Coffee Consumption Can Reduce Risk of Prostate Cancer in healthy males. The U.S. is responsible for more than a third of coffee consumption worldwide peaking at 400 million cups every single day, and studies show that Coffee Consumption is not only a goot part of a healthy diet, but "Overall, the research shows that coffee is far more healthful than it is harmful,” says Dr. Tomas DePaulis, research scientist at Vanderbilt University’s Institute for Coffee Studies.



A study by researchers from the Channing Laboratory at the Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health, was based on an analysis of information from the Health Professionals’ Follow-Up Study, which included data on the coffee-drinking habits of about 50,000 men from 1986 to 2006. The men who drank the most coffee (six or more cups per day) were nearly 60 percent less likely to develop advanced prostate cancer. I'll have another cup!

Curbing Carbs & Eating The Right Carbs

>> Saturday, March 27, 2010

A lot of people load up on carbohydrates, without realizing it, and without knowing the right carbs. "Brown rice, pastas, breads, and whole-grain cereals, provide fiber to keep you feeling full," says Tamara Melton, RD, a wellness nutritionist. "Much of the problem with carbohydrates is what you pile on them. Watch out for butter and cheese on your bread and sauce on your pasta. Carbohydrates should be an important part of your healthy diet — just keep your portions under control." It's all about choosing the right carbs, good carbs in maintaining a healthy diet, great nutrition and healthy living.

Almonds: Preventing Heart Disease

>> Monday, March 8, 2010

Almonds are one snack that promote healthy diet nutrition, and are packed with fiber and monounsaturated fat, both of which lower cholesterol. According to the Food and Drug Administration, eating 1.5 ounces of most nuts, including almonds, as part of your healthy diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart diseases. And even though almonds are relatively high in calories and fat, studies show that eating almonds can actually help with losing weight as their fiber and protein provide the feeling of being full, hence preventing overeating. More health tips on diet nutrition and exercise to come.

High Intensity Exercise: Preventing Heart Attacks and Stroke

Regular exercise helps to prevent heart attacks and strokes, this is widely known and accepted as an aspect of healthy living. But, recently it has been shown that high-intensity exercise may prevent these diseases more effectively than low intensity exercise (Thrombosis Research, August 2006), which Researchers at Michigan State have recently proven. 



Most heart attacks and strokes can occur when special plaques lining the arteries break-off and pass down the artery to form a clot that blocks the flow of blood to the heart and in most cases, the brain. Intense exercise helped prevent clotting by increasing tissue plasminogen activator far more than low-intensity exercise did. Certain other studies also show that vigorous exercise is highly effective in helping people lose weight. However, vigorous exercise can also cause or preciptate heart attacks and strokes, so it is advised you get a stress electrocardiogram before you start an exercise program or increase the intensity of your current regiment. If advised by your doctor, you can increase the intensity of your workouts once or twice a week.  Of course a proper diet nutrition should also be followed. More on nutrition later this week here at our blog.

Fish: Salmon and Tuna Life Saving Foods

>> Tuesday, March 2, 2010

Out of the many species of fish found in the aquatic world (just over 25,000) the most commonly found in supermarkets are Tuna, Salmon and Sardines.  Eating these fish helps promotes healthy living, diet and nutrition, and reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes, as well as stroke and arthritis. Fatty varieties of fish may also help reduce depression. The American Heart Association recommends that healthy adults eat at least one to two fish meals weekly, especially sardines, which are easy to find in supermarkets, wild salmon, and european herring, because these varieties of fish provide the most omega 3 fatty acids that promote healty diet. Try to avoid mercury-containing fish varieties like king mackerel, tilefish, and albacore tuna but Chunk Light tuna is okay.

Prolong Use Of Marijuana Can Lead To Psychosis Risk

>> Saturday, February 27, 2010

A new study shows that long-term use of marihuana can lead to the increased risk of developing hallucinations, delusions and psychosis.



When researchers asked 3,100 young adults (20 years of age) about marijuana use, they have discovered that about 18% were using the drug for three years, 16% percent for four to five years and 14 percent for six and more.

Among the participants, 65 had been diagnosed with a "non-affective psychosis" such as schizophrenia, and 233 had at least one positive item for hallucination on a diagnostic interview conducted for the study.

The researchers found there was an association between length of marijuana use and mental health.

"Compared with those who had never used cannabis, young adults who had six or more years since first use of cannabis [i.e., who commenced use when around 15 years or younger] were twice as likely to develop a non-affective psychosis and were four times as likely to have high scores on the Peters et al Delusions Inventory [a measure of delusion]," wrote Dr. John McGrath, of the Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research, Park Centre for Mental Health in Wacol, and colleagues. "There was a 'dose-response' relationship between the variables of interest: the longer the duration since the first cannabis use, the higher the risk of psychosis-related outcomes."

The study appears online March 1 and in the May print issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry.

But the association between psychosis and marijuana use is not simple, the researchers noted. They found that people who'd experienced hallucinations earlier in life were also more likely to have used marijuana longer and to use it more frequently.

"This demonstrates the complexity of the relationship: those individuals who were vulnerable to psychosis [i.e., those who had isolated psychotic symptoms] were more likely to commence cannabis use, which could then subsequently contribute to an increased risk of conversion to a non-affective psychotic disorder," wrote the study authors.

Further research is needed to learn more about the mechanisms underlying the association between psychosis and marijuana use, they concluded.
