Red Wine and Dark Chocolate Powerful Eradicate Cancer

The scientist was actively looking for any food that has potential as cancer drugs. Now researchers revealed that red wine and dark chocolate (dark chocolate) is a powerful drug to kill cancer.

Chairman of the Angiogenesis Foundation, William Li reveals red wine and dark chocolate mixed with blueberries, garlic, soy and tea can be used as materials to make the cancer cells starve which makes it not have undermined the ability of the body.

"We have created a level of food based on the quality of those foods to fight cancer. What we consume every day can be a chemotherapeutic for ourselves," Li said, as quoted by AFP on Thursday (11/02/2010).

The scientists identified the chemical substances contained in food. These chemicals have the function to stop the flow of blood supply to tumor tissue so cancer cells are being 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 is actually happening around us. If this is true, then 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 cancer fighting properties become more effective and potent. 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 his body.

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

Sports Just a waste of time for 20 Percent of People

Today often heralded the benefits to be gained from exercise. But researchers said 20 percent of people who maintain their health by jogging, swimming or going to the gym is just a waste of time.

Scientists have found that the health benefits of exercise is determined by one's genes and its nature can vary between individuals. About 20 percent of the population does not get significant health benefits from exercising regularly.

For these people, regular exercise such as jogging, the gym or aerobics gives only a small effect to reduce the risk of diseases such as heart disease or diabetes.

"These results will pave the way to create a personalized care in a way each patient should do a DNA test first to find out ways which are effective in keeping the heart healthy," said lead researcher Dr. James Timmons from the Royal Veterinary College, University of London , as quoted by the Telegraph, Friday (12/2/2010).

Dr. Timmons said the study broke new ground by using the human genome, the genetic map of the body which has been translated by scientists 10 years ago to make improvements in terms of health care.

"It would be one example of personalized treatment is treatment using the basic genome," says Dr. Timmons.

In a study published in Applied Psychology, roughly more than 500 participants from Europe and the United States undergo various training programs in accordance with government advice in the gym five times a week for 30 minutes.

At the end of the study found some people show an increase in oxygen consumption in the body that could be an indicator of fitness. Revealed about 30 genes are predicted to affect the increased intake of oxygen, but of that number only 11 are shown to have a certain impact on some people regarding the benefits of exercise.

But as much as 20 percent of participants only showed a maximum increase of less than 5 percent, in this case can be ignored. While 30 percent did not indicate significant insulin sensitivity did not reduce the risk of diabetes.

"We know that low oxygen consumption to be one strong risk factor to disease and premature death, so experts advise people to exercise regularly to increase oxygen capacity. But the effect is different for every individual," added Dr. Timmons.

With the present invention is expected later to determine what measures are most beneficial and effective to keep the body fit and avoid the risk of various diseases.

Injuries After Playing Football

World Cup match has ended, the memory of the actions of footballers will still be recorded. There are playing quite dangerous even at risk of injury.

Not a few new players after the game detected after injury due to collision or tekelan when the field is considered not severe. What are the most injuries happen to a footballer?

Risk of injury is a threat that always haunts a professional footballer. Not only due to physical collisions with other players, but also due to over-exert the muscles to work hard throughout the game.

The most common result of physical impact is an acute injury or a traumatic nature. While the imposition of muscles and joints in every game can trigger cumulative nature of the injury.

According to a study in California, sports injuries in football are more prevalent in official matches the 35.3 cases in 1,000 games. While at practice, the injury occurred just as much as 2.9 cases in 1,000 training sessions.

Quoted from Sportsinjurybulletin, Monday (12/07/2010) suffered various injuries are:

   1. Minor injuries which caused players to be absent for less than a week that is most often the case 60.15 per cent.
   2. Injuries are being sidelined a week with a duration of up to one month as much as 26.17 percent.
   3. Severe injuries to rest players more than a month occurred as much as 13.67 percent.

The most vulnerable parts of the body is a foot injury. The percentage reached 77 percent, compared to only 21 percent of knee and ankle or ankle by 18 percent.

But compared to other body parts, a knee injury tends to cause a player to miss the maximum period. Injuries in this section are also most often require surgery to resolve it.

At the ankle, the outer parts are more susceptible strain than in the side or middle. Damage to the ligaments on the outside also tend to be more dangerous than the ligaments on the inside.

Meanwhile, most muscle damage occurs in the thigh (groin) which is 53 percent. Another frequent muscle tear in the game of football is the hamstring (42 percent) and the quadriceps or thigh muscles on the front side (5 percent).

Another study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine reveals, most injuries occurred in 15 minutes early and 15 minutes before the game ended.

Risk in the early minutes was the result of hard games with high intensity, while the risk before the game ends is generally triggered by fatigue.

When Sports Takes Negative Effects On Body

For a sportsman or athlete with experience, improve fitness and body shape requires more than just a routine exercise. However, too much exercise can lead to negative conditions that affect the body and mind.

Overtraining or chronic fatigue occurs when the intensity, frequency or duration of excessive exercise. In this condition, exercise can bring negative effects on the body.

Reporting from Sheknows, Saturday (14/08/2010), the following symptoms when people get too much exercise:

    1. chronic fatigue
    2. Increased incidence of injury
    3. Moodiness and irritability
    4. headache
    5. Appetite disturbance
    6. insomnia
    7. Changes in body weight
    8. More vulnerable to disease
    9. anemia
   10. depression
   11. Decreased exercise performance

If you experience two or more of these symptoms are present, then you need to reset your exercise schedule.

How to cope with and treat overtraining?

1. prevention first
Overcome the symptoms and immediately reset your exercise schedule. Reduce the frequency of exercise, for example, two times a week. This will maintain your fitness level and give a chance to recover.

2. Time to rest
The best treatment for overtraining is rest and recovery. Consistently, do at least 7 hours of sleep a night.

3. The quality of 'fuel' for the body
The timing and composition of foods is essential to prevent overtraining and recovery. Eating foods that are composed of proteins and karbohindrat. Eat two hours before exercise, because it is more suitable for energy storage in the first 30 minutes after exercise.

4. Stay hydrated
The body will function best when fully hydrated, drink at least 2 liters of water a day.

How to Swim While Menstruation

Woman's monthly menstrual periods can be a barrier some daily activities. However, swimming and sports should not be a problem, because they swim just fine for women during menstruation.

Some women think that swimming at the time of the menstrual period is not the right choice. In fact, swimming is great exercise for women who are menstruating, because the water will lift the body and relieve pressure on the back so it can relieve cramps.

Reporting from Livestrong, Friday (09/17/2010), here are some ways to be able to swim at the time of menstruation:

1. How to use sanitary napkins
Place the pads right in the crotch of a bathing suit or underwear that will be used for swimming. Make sure you do not use pads that have wings (wing), as will be seen from the outside bathing suit.

Bandages are used will not be destroyed because the water will put pressure upward, so that it remains safe to swim at the time of menstruation.

In addition, the pads will help hold the blood. By the time you're in the first days of the menstrual blood that comes out is still a lot, try to change pads as often as possible while swimming. This is because water will be absorbed by the pads, thus making it unable to absorb more blood.

If still in doubt, you can try to swim during the last days of the menstrual period, when the blood that came out not too much.

2. How to use swimwear
With normal wear swimsuits. Adjust the size bathing suit to your body size, so it can cover the entire groin area and dressing are not visible from the outside bathing suit.

Make sure the pads securely in swimwear, so it will not float out when you swim.

3. Places to swim
You can swim in the pool, lake or sea. You will still be able to move freely and normally swim by using a cast on in a bathing suit.

5 Benefits of Menstruation

Menstruation sometimes makes women sick, uncomfortable and somewhat disturbed activity. But be thankful if women can still experience monthly menstrual cycles because of discomfort that makes it just a lot of benefits.

Menstruation is experienced by the lunar cycle women before menopause. Sometimes before or during menstruation comes, a person experiencing PMS (premenstrual syndrome) is so excruciating as abdominal cramps, irritability, vomiting and even unconscious. So that not infrequently there are women who are afraid if menstruation is coming.

Quoted from Sheknows, Wednesday (06/10/2010) should a woman no longer complain about menstruation, because there are 5 benefits to be gained if he menstruating women every month, namely:

1. Body to synchronize
Dr. Cheryl Pagel, a family physician from Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center revealed that women get a period every month is proof that her body is doing something that should be done. This means the body is in sync and is one indicator of good health.

2. The body has a positive
Menstruation every month is a natural way to say that someone is not too fat nor too thin.

This is because, if a person has a body fat will cause irregular periods, this condition is a result of accumulated fat. Besides the body is too thin can also make periods irregular.

3. Live longer and happier
Research shows that long-lived women more often than men. This condition is due to the iron lost during menstruation.

4. The process of cleansing the body
Periods that come every once a month can help remove bacteria from the reproductive system and allow the body to eliminate excess iron, so it can lower the risk of Alzheimer's, heart disease and stroke.

5. Creating a better appearance and comfort
Most women know that PMS can bring adverse effects such as bloating, acne, fatigue or breast pain. But usually after menstruation comes and ends, then the person will feel better and comfortable. Hormonal changes that occur will give a significant effect after a period lasting about
