SIX CUPS OF COFFEE A DAY REDUCES THE RISK OF PROSTATE CANCER AND UTERINE CANCER


Women who drink 4.6 cups of coffee a day, rarely develop cancer of the corpus uteri, and men - prostate cancer. This effect does not depend on whether a person is using a regular drink or equivalent without the caffeine content.
Many people limit the number of drinks a cup of coffee, because it increases the pressure. But the drink has health benefits. People who regularly drink coffee, rarely get sick with diabetes type 2, gallstone disease , colon cancer and Parkinson's disease . A recent study by British scientists, seized 67,000 women. Those of them who drank more than four cups of coffee a day were 25% lower risk of developing endometrial cancer (uterine lining) compared with those who drank one cup a day.
Scientists have also studied the habits 50,000 men. Those who drank more than six cups of coffee a day, 18% less likely to become ill with prostate cancer and 60% at least - one of its most dangerous form. Perhaps the coffee has a positive effect on the level of insulin, which can stimulate the growth of tumors. Drink improves assimilation of glucose, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. The researchers are reminded that it is not necessary to add to each cup of coffee sugar or cream. The extra calories may negate the benefit of the drink.

HOOKAH IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN TOBACCO


Back in 2005, the WHO warned that Hookah Smoke contains toxins that cause oncology lung and other cancers, as well as cardiovascular, respiratory and other diseases, reports the press service of the Cabinet . In this case, a hookah can be much more dangerous to health than Tobacco.

While smoking Hookah Tobacco blend is heated by burning coal, which is placed on top of the mixture - in the air does not just tobacco mixture combustion and coal, and carbon monoxide (CO). It is toxic in small doses, causes headaches, dizziness, and in large doses can cause death. In addition, the combustion of coal in the Hookah formed many carcinogens, heavy metals.

An additional danger of Hookah Smoking is that hookah smoke passes through the water. Water filters, mainly substances that form the smell of Tobacco Smoke, and not harmful substances. It also cools the smoke, so that Hookah Smokers are tightened further and toxic substances Smoke fall into the lower part of the lungs, increasing the risk of severe respiratory diseases.

People who Smoke shisha in public places, are at risk of infectious diseases, as devices are not fully sterilized after use by another person. Particles of saliva other consumers will certainly fall into the water, through which the Smoke, so when Smoking Hookah can spread tuberculosis, influenza, herpes, hepatitis, and other infectious diseases.

In a mixture of water pipe Tobacco is usually added glycerin and many other substances. If glycerol is overheating, forms toxic substance acrolein. Impact on the health of many other substances that are added to the Hookah, has not been investigated and may also submit additional danger. The Tobacco blend technologically very easy to add illicit drugs and other substances. Besides, sometimes the Hookah Smoke is filtered through water is not, and in alcohol, which is another risk factor.

MOH also recalls that since late last year entered into force a law banning Smoking Hookahs and other Tobacco products in many public places and workplaces, including schools in all areas of restaurant management.

SCIENTISTS HAVE DISCOVERED HOW THE BODY ITSELF CAN KILL CANCER


U.S. researchers have identified a molecule TIC10, which activates protein TRAIL, helping defeat Cancer. Because this protein  is not toxic to the body, such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
The immune system is constantly checking if there is a Cancer in our body cells. If it finds them, the work enters the protein TRAIL, which inhibits the development of tumors. But if there was an error, and the Cancer progresses, this mechanism ceases to operate, leading to uncontrolled growth and spread of tumors. Molecule TIC10, which activates protein TRAIL, has small dimensions and thus can overcome the barrier between the bloodstream and the brain. This is very important in the treatment of brain tumors. Scientists have carried out experiments in mice, which showed that TIC10 can be effective, natural and safe method of Cancer therapy. Researchers hope that this mechanism will work in humans.

And if you went to, but you can not sleep, you have to change the situation. Sit in your favorite chair and enjoy a what - something quiet and relaxing, such as reading or embroidery. At the first sign of drowsiness should go back to bed. This can be repeated as many times as you need.

3. You should clearly define the space to your sleep - the bedroom. Make sure that you fall asleep only in the bedroom, because it is a sacred place intended for that. Bedroom - a place to sleep, for sex, and in case you get sick, there can lie down. In any case you can not work in the bedroom!

4. If you do not sleep at night - in any case can not sleep during the day. But if you still feel a lack of energy during the day and go to sleep, in which case you should try to do it in the same time period of no more than 45 minutes. This time, for most people, this is enough time to rest and gain strength. The most appropriate hours for this dream is about 2 - 3 hours in the afternoon.

5. More navigate. Necessary to maintain a constant physical activity. Do not forget that the peaks of readiness of the organism to the power loads are considered at 11:00 am till noon, and at 5:00 o'clock in the afternoon.
