Several years ago, scientists have published data that eating broccoli and planteyna can be an effective tool against Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. However, it turns out, is not any kind of fiber is equally useful in these diseases. In 2010, a study was published showing the role of broccoli and planteyna in Crohn's disease. Fiber stopped moving Escherichia coli, which causes the symptoms of Crohn's disease, the cells. When the researchers tested the effects of apples and leeks effect on bacteria was found that demanded an explanation, why did not any fiber helps in Crohn's disease. Scientists have conducted laboratory research on cell cultures (number of broccoli or planteyna was 5 mg / ml). Moving bacteria was stopped at 45-82%. After that, they confirmed their data on tissue samples taken from patients with Crohn's disease during surgery. Another interesting finding of the study was that the emulsifier polysorbate 60 and 80 increased the penetra...

Men, especially the elderly, can get a lot of benefits for physical and mental health if they are dieting based on meat and fish. In a study of Japanese scientists, which lasted seven years, attended by more than 1,000 elderly men. Volunteers who "leaned" on meat and fish, thus reducing by 39 percent the risk of reducing the mental and physical functions (compared with men who did not practically eat animal protein). Unfortunately, the same trend was not seen in women. Initially, participants were asked to give details about their diet, including the consumption of animal protein. Health status, as well as social and intellectual aspects of volunteers was recorded twice - at the beginning of the study and seven years later. The volunteers were divided into four groups, depending on how much meat and fish are eating. At the end of about a quarter of the study participants showed a decline of intellectual and other skills. Basically this sad trend was observed among those...

Supplementation with whey or casein in combination with physical activity is associated with significant improvements in the readings of blood pressure in young women with obesity and hypertension , according to a new study. Scientists from the University of Florida, USA, reported that the milk protein casein supplements sports training overweight women and helps reduce aortic systolic blood pressure. In particular, taking whey and casein was associated with a reduction in brachial systolic blood pressure by 5 points, and aortic systolic blood pressure by 7 points. Benefits of dairy products for systolic blood pressure has long been known. Thus, the use of dairy product may be an additional tool in the prevention or treatment of hypertension . Scientists explain that the aortic blood pressure, and not brachial blood pressure is considered to be the best predictor of cardiovascular benefits of the intervention using antihypertensives. "To our knowledge, our study is the...

Researchers at Harvard Medical School studied the effect of hot chocolate on the human brain. Researchers concluded that cocoa contained in nutrients necessary for a person as protect his brain damaged areas of education. In particular, experts have found a link between what the consumption of hot chocolate and memory, thinking, and neurovascular coupling in the brain - a process in which blood flow to the brain tissue changes with increased activity of certain brain regions. Neuroscientists explain that Neurovascular communication plays an important role in diseases involving degeneration of the brain, for example, in the development of Alzheimer's disease . In an experiment to study the properties of cocoa 60 elderly people without dementia, at an average age of 73 years, every day during the month of drinking a cup of hot chocolate. In this study participants did not use any more products containing chocolate. When a month of daily use small portions of hot cocoa volunte...

Recent scientific studies prove conclusively the importance of vitamin D for the body and health. Enough of this vitamin in the body is of particular importance, because the lack of it, according to scientists, it is the reason that we lose the protection of resources and become prone to disease and depression. As found by scientists from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark concluded that vitamin D stimulates T-cells to strengthen the body's defenses. In turn, if the body lacks vitamin D, it does not allow T cells to accumulate inner strength to fight viral infections that penetrate into it. Also, if T cells are passive, vitamin D activates them, then these fighters are infections and neutralize pathogens trapped in the body. Therefore, in anticipation of winter it would be useful to check if your body lacks important vitamin. Danish researchers believe that it improves the immune system, making it ready and well adapted to deal with a variety of infectious diseases, in...

Fast food is not the main reason for the spread of child obesity . This was stated by U.S. researchers. They believe that children addicted to such food - a side effect of bad eating habits. The experiment was conducted by researchers from the University of North Carolina at one of the schools in the U.S.. He showed that many children from an early age parents or caregivers instill the wrong template power which is based on processed foods and sweetened beverages. That is why such children are more likely to be overweight and eating a fast food meal. Thus, fast food structure is part of their diet. Not the products themselves, and bad habits are to blame for the occurrence of child obesity. This is a much more serious problem, say the authors of the study.

Researchers concluded that the majority of herbal medicines from the alternative medicine are contaminated. To date, there is no generally accepted methodology for the identification of the origin of plant product. Of course, we can determine the form of all plants, but the plant material has undergone industrial processing, is much more difficult to analyze. For this purpose, inter alia, are used in genetic engineering techniques by which one can recognize the individual characteristics of different types of DNA. It is this methodology was the basis of a study conducted at the University of Guelph (Canada). Scientists decided to investigate the species specificity of the plant material, which consist of dietary supplements and alternative medicine preparations. It appeared that 59% of such preparations were composed plants not listed on the package. Two-thirds of them contained the main ingredients substitutes (ie, the concentration of the active ingredient actually provided l...

The researches of the British Royal Society of Chemistry, teeth whitening using ultraviolet lamp is bad for the health of the skin and eyes, according Tacade.com. According to the head of research Breyzel Helen (Ellen Brazzel), after bleaching procedure using an ultraviolet lamp can be damage to the skin and eyes caused by radioactive exposure to UV. As explained by the doctor, one such procedure is equivalent "to fire in the middle of summer in open space with no protection from the sun." In high-risk patients are those with sensitive skin and increased reaction to light. Ultraviolet for whitening teeth used to enhance the effectiveness of agents such as hydrogen peroxide . In December 2013, another group of British scientists has established how much sugar can be used to keep your teeth healthy. About the latest developments of dental science and modern methods of dental treatment in the special project "All about dentistry" .

Iranian scientist invented the natural toothpaste that helps patients with cancer to deal with dental problems. The fact that cancer patients, especially those undergoing chemotherapy, is hampered or impaired saliva production, it provokes dry mouth, which in turn leads to the development of oral infections, dental caries, tooth decay, weakening or loss of sense of taste and deterioration of quality of life in general. Iranian researcher Omid Rajabi claims that they invented pasta contains special polymers that act like natural proteins found in saliva. These polymers remain on the surface of the gums and thus prevent occurrence of dry mouth. I must say that the idea is not new and has been in the west, there are special paste for cancer patients, the inventor does not deny it, but he insists that his pasta is qualitatively different from their foreign counterparts, because, unlike them, it is 90% of the components of natural origin and contains no artificial chemical soedineniy....

Sea water can be a tool for the prevention of ulcers and stomach cancer. This is indicated by the results of laboratory studies that will test on humans. The primary cause of stomach ulcers is a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori . Earlier, Japanese scientists have found that taken from a depth of over 200 meters and purified from the salt sea water, which watered laboratory rodents, reduced the number of bacteria. According to scientists, the toxic effect of this water due to the high content of calcium, potassium and magnesium. To participate in the new experiment, Taiwanese researchers selected 60 patients. Half of them will drink 200 ml of the prepared salt water several times a day, and the second - a conventional water. If the results of the experiment will be conclusive, the seawater can be used in the prevention of diseases caused by Helicobacter pylori .

In the event that a child under school age drink more than two glasses of milk a day, his body decreases the amount of iron, which can lead to anemia. According to the study, which was attended by 1,300 children of preschool age, children should not drink more than two glasses of milk a day. Milk contains calcium and vitamin D, needed for bone growth. However, excessive intake of milk in the body is accompanied by a decrease in the amount of iron, and iron deficiency leads to movement disorders. Children who drank three or more glasses of milk per day had reduced levels of serum ferritin, which reflects the state of body iron stores. The more milk the children drank, the lower ferritin levels fell. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends limiting consumption of cow's milk for preschoolers to two glasses a day. However, the Committee on Nutrition believe that children who drink at least four glasses of milk a day, should be given supplements of vitamin D. Supplementati...

Sleeping too much does not make one fat in fact, sleeping more than 9 hours a night may suppress genetic influences on body weight, U.S. researchers say. Principal investigator Dr. Nathaniel Watson of the University of Washington and colleagues said the study looked at 1,088 pairs of twins and found sleeping less than 7 hours a night was associated with both increased body mass index and greater genetic influences on BMI. The study, published in the journal Sleep, found the heritability of BMI was twice as high for short sleepers than for twins who slept longer than 9 hours a night. Watson and colleagues determined that for twins sleeping less than 7 hours, genetic influences accounted for 70 percent of the differences in BMI, with common environment accounting for just 4 percent and unique environment 26 percent. For twins averaging more than 9 hours of sleep, genetic factors accounted for 32 percent of weight variations, with common environment accounting for 51 percent and u...
