| Its official! Being single is bad for your health | |
|
Description: New Delhi, July 2 (ANI): If you are loner and can't stay in relationships, you might want to change your way of life as a new study has claimed that being single can prove bad for your health. According to a new study, if one is happen to be a single person it is not positive. In the study of over 10,000 people born in England, Scotland and Wales, while marriage was found to be more beneficial to men, divorced women who have another relationship had health almost as good as women who were happily married. Also, women whose marriage broke in 20s or 30s were at greater risk of heart attacks. Men benefit the most health-wise from remarrying or moving in with their new partner. The surprising finding was that men who divorced in their late 30s and did not remarry later, were less likely to suffer from conditions related to diabetes in early middle age compared to those who were married.

|
Description: New Delhi, April 24 (ANI): Even if you keep fit and exercise regularly, you can't beat obesity if you can't control eating sugar and carbs. According to the researchers, it's the bad diet, not physical inactivity, behind the surge in obesity.

The authors said that celebrity endorsement of sugary drinks and the association of junk food and sport must end, adding that health clubs and gyms need to set an example by removing the sale of these products from their premises.The food environment needs to be changed so that people automatically make healthy choices, suggest the authors. The researchers concluded by saying that it was time to wind back the harms caused by the junk food industry's public relations machinery. Views:36043 |

| This is how Green tea, Apples benefit our health | |
|
Description: New Delhi, April 15 (ANI): Scientists have found evidence supporting the health benefiting facts about certain foods like green tea and apples. Researchers have shown that polyphenols in green tea and apples block a signalling molecule called VEGF, which in the body can trigger atherosclerosis and is a target for some anti-cancer drugs. In the body, VEGF is a main driver of blood vessel formation in these cell types via a process called angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is crucial in cancer progression, as well as in the development of plaque rupture, which can cause heart attacks and stroke. Researchers said that if this effect happened in the body as well, it would provide very strong evidence for a mechanism that links dietary polyphenols and beneficial health effects. Views:23986 |

|
Description: New Delhi, April 13 (ANI): If you are one of those who frequently eats out rather than at home, you might want to take corrective measures as a new study suggests that the act could raise your blood pressure levels. Researchers have shown for the first time an association between meals eaten away from home and high blood pressure, and the findings highlight lifestyle factors that can affect hypertension and emphasize the importance of being aware of the salt and calorie content in food, to facilitate better meal choices when eating out. According to the study those who have pre-hypertension or hypertension are more likely to eat more meals away from home per week, have a higher mean body mass index, have lower mean physical activity levels, and be current smokers. Researchers further said that their research plugged that gap and highlights lifestyle factors associated with pre-hypertension and hypertension that are potentially modifiable, and would be applicable to young adults globally, especially those of Asian descent.

| Night owls run higher diabetes risk than early risers | |
|
Description: New Delhi, April 3 (ANI): A new study has revealed that night owls are more likelier to develop diabetes, metabolic syndrome and sarcopenia than early risers, even when they get the same amount of sleep. The study examined the difference between night and morning chronotypes, or a person's natural sleep-wake cycle. Staying awake later at night is likely to cause sleep loss, poor sleep quality, and eating at inappropriate times, which might eventually lead to metabolic change. According to the study regardless of lifestyle, people who stayed up late faced a higher risk of developing health problems like diabetes or reduced muscle mass than those who were early risers, which could be caused by night owls' tendency to have poorer sleep quality and to engage in unhealthy behaviors like smoking, late-night eating and a sedentary lifestyle. Men who were evening chronotypes were more likely have diabetes or sarcopenia than early risers. Among women, night owls tended to have more belly fat and a great risk of metabolic syndrome, a cluster of risk facts that raise the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Views:1932 |
| An Apple a day may not really keep the doctor away | |
|
Description: New Delhi, April 1 (ANI): The phrase "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" might not be true any longer as apples cannot really do that, however, it can help using fewer prescription medications. The study found that apple eaters had higher educational attainment, were more likely to be from a racial or ethnic minority, and were less likely to smoke and the authors measured "keeping the doctor away" as no more than one self-reported visit to a physician during the past year. The study suggested that the promotion of apple consumption may have limited benefit in reducing national health care spending and in the age of evidence-based assertions, however, there may be merit to saying 'An apple a day keeps the pharmacist away'.
