Raw Vegetables and Fruits, 'Weapons' Powerful Opponents Heart Disease Risk

People who are genetically susceptible to heart disease can lower their risk with emphasis on eating fruits and raw vegetables. Thus the results of research published in the journal PLoS Medicine.

Mentioned, five or more servings of vegetables and fruit a day is enough to control the evil version of a gene on chromosome 9, which is estimated one-fifth owned by descendants of this Eropa.Gen risky 'build' of heart disease later in life.

The research was conducted by Canadian researchers, involving 27 people people as objects of research. The people studied were taken from various parts of the world such as Europe, China, to Latin America.

The results showed that individuals at high risk have a version of the 9p21 gene, but eating a diet with raw vegetables and raw fruits have a lower risk of heart attack than those who do not implement the diet.

Researchers from McMaster University, ProfSonia Anand said, "Our results support the public health recommendations to consume more than five servings of fruits or vegetables as a way to promote good health."

Also Fish Bite Therapy for Health Risk

Therapy fish, you know him right? The therapy is becoming a trend in several countries including Indonesia this involves small fish to bite the dead skin cells. Clients simply dipping their toes into the shallow pool filled with hundreds of tiny Garra Rufa fish, then let the fish 'work' nibble your dead skin layer.

However, be careful. People with weakened immune systems or open wounds at risk of contracting the infection through this therapy. Is an organization of the Health Protection Agency (HPA), which reminded of this and advise people with diabetes or psoriasis to not melakukaan this therapy.

In fact, a spokesman for the HPA said the risk of most 'creepy' from this therapy, the likelihood of contracting hepatitis or HIV / AIDS.

Dr Hilary Kirkbride, consultant epidemiologist at the HPA, said the infection can be transmitted in various ways - from fish to bite people during the process, from contact with contaminated water, or from person to person by sharing the same tank.

In the UK, this therapy was popular. In salons, spa fish, so termed, is flooded with customers.

Spa fish have been banned in some U.S. states.

Despite recent warnings, pampering treatments have been embraced by the

Some celebrities and sports stars also become customers, including Manchester City footballer Vincent Kompany, and the famous TV presenter Amy Childs and James Argent.

Too Often Exposed to Smoke Vehicles can result in Breast Cancer

Based on research, traffic pollution can lead to breast cancer risk in women. Researchers from McGill University and the University of Montreal said the number of cases of breast cancer in areas of high nitrogen dioxide levels rise, as quoted by the Daily Mail.
Mark Goldberg, one of the researchers said the study was started because there is currently no research investigating the relationship between air pollution and breast cancer with the mapping of air pollution.
"We've seen the rate of breast cancer rises for some time. No one knows why, and only about a third of cases associated with risk factors. Because no one studied the relationship between air pollution and breast cancer using detailed air pollution maps, we decided to investigate, "said Goldberg, a researcher from the" Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre "in Canada.
The researchers found an association between post-menopausal breast cancer and exposure to nitrogen diokasida. Women living in areas with the highest pollution levels likely to get breast cancer twice.
"We found an association between post-menopausal breast cancer and exposure to nitrogen dioxide, which becomes a marker for air pollution-related traffic. Throughout Montreal, levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) varied between five parts per billion to 30 parts per billion," said Goldberg.
"Another way to say it is the women who live in areas with the highest pollution levels likely to get breast cancer are two times more than those living in areas with low pollution."
Goldberg warns that these disturbing results should be interpreted with "great caution." He added that does not mean NO2 causes breast cancer.
"First of all, this does not mean NO2 causes breast cancer. This gas is not the only pollutants produced by cars and trucks, but it was there, as well as other gases, particles and compounds we associate with past traffic, some known to cause cancer. No2 only marker of cancer-causing agent is not the truth. "
The study combined data from previous studies. The researchers used the results of the study year 2005/2006 to create two "maps" of air pollution. "Map" that shows the level of NO2 in different parts of the city in 1996 and ten years earlier in 1986.
The researchers then mapped the home addresses of women diagnosed with breast cancer in our study of air pollution in 1996/1997. It shows the number of patients with breast cancer are higher in areas with higher air pollution levels.
The results have been published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
