Plant component contained in broccoli can help prevent most forms of arthritis or alleviate the disease, the scientists from the UK, whose work is published in the journal Arthritis & Rheumatism. Osteoarthritis - a degenerative disease of the cartilage of the joints - in the UK are affected more than 8.5 million people. In 2011, the country had been more than 145,000 operations to replace knees and hips, according to a press release from the University of East Anglia in the UK (University of East Anglia). Typically, the development of the disease contributes to excess weight and general aging of the body. Drugs from her, except painkillers, there is currently no. The substance sulforaphane found in cruciferous vegetables in the cabbage and Brussels, and in the greatest concentrations - in broccoli. It was previously established anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties of the organic compound. Having conducted experiments on mice, as well as laboratory studies using huma...

If you're reading this at work, brace yourself. A new study shows that typical offices have hundreds of types of bacteria in them, and men's offices have the most. Researchers report finding more than 500 different types of bacteria on common surfaces in offices in three major U.S. cities. And, perhaps less surprisingly to some people, they found that men's offices are more contaminated than women's. "Humans are spending an increasing amount of time indoors, yet we know little about the diversity of bacteria and viruses where we live, work, and play," says lead researcher Scott Kelley, PhD. The San Diego State University biologist and his team swabbed five common office surfaces -- chairs, phones, desks, computer mice, and keyboards -- in 90 different offices, 30 each in San Francisco, New York, and Tucson. The research team, which was partially funded by the Clorox Corporation, found bacteria on nearly every surface they tested. Most of it came from t...

You'd probably rather not think about it, but there are hundreds of species of bacteria on your desk, according researchers who sampled offices in three U.S. cities. The study identified at least 500 species of bacteria in the offices, and found that men's offices tended to be germier than women's. And although offices in New York City and San Francisco had similar types of bacteria, those in the Golden State were less contaminated than those in the Big Apple, the researchers said. But don't go running for the hand sanitizer just yet although the findings have an "ick" factor, bacteria in your office are not necessarily something to worry about, the researchers said. After all, many bacteria are harmless, and actually helpmaintain human health. "You shouldn't be worried in your own office it's you; it's just a reflection of who you are," said study researcher Scott Kelley, an associate professor of biology at San Diego State Unive...
