Recent research scientists indicate, these two types of food consumption should be considered as one part of your lifestyle to prevent hypertension or high blood pressure.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Two studies presented at the American College of Cardiology Conference last week showed, raisins and soy can help prevent hypertension. According to one researcher, munching a handful of raisins three times a day can help lower blood pressure in those who have tensinya slightly above the average (pre-hypertension) after a few weeks.<br /><br />In the study, researchers conducted random testing involving 46 people with pre-hypertensive conditions. Study participants known to have blood pressure ranged between 120 per 80 military mercury (mm Hg) to 139 per 89 mm Hg or higher than normal blood pressure.</div><a name="more"></a><br />Compared with people who frequently eat snacks such as cakes or biscuits, raisin-eating group had a significant decline in blood pressure or systolic blood pressure of 10.2, or seven percent over the 12-week study period. The researchers do not know exactly why the raisins to be effective in lowering blood pressure. But they think this is probably due to high levels of potassium are fruits raisins.<br /><br />"Raisins are rich in potassium content, which has been known for its benefits to lower blood pressure," said lead investigator, Harold Bays, medical director of the Louisville Metabolic and Atherosclerosis Research Center.<br /><br />"Raisins are also a good source of antioxidants that can alter the biochemistry of the blood vessels, which in turn can reduce blood pressure," he added.<br /><br />Handful of raisins (60 raisins) contains one gram of fiber and 212 milligrams of potassium. Raisins are often recommended as part of a diet high in fiber and low in fat to reduce blood pressure.<br /><br />While in another study, in which to see the efficacy of soy, showed that daily intake of food such as tofu, beans, and green tea can help lower blood pressure more than 5100 white men aged 18-30 years African Americans. The study began in 1985. Here, each participant was asked to report their own data about what they eat.<br /><br />Those who ate about 2.5 or more milligrams of isoflavones per day - a major component in soy - systolic blood pressure decreased significantly (on average 5.5 mmHg lower) than those who ate less than 0.33 mg per day. A glass of soy milk contains about 22 mg isoflavones, or nearly 10 times the amount needed.<br /><br />"Our findings suggest a benefit from moderate consumption of isoflavones in black and white adults in regulating blood pressure," said Safiya Richardson, principal investigator of the study.<br /><br />Richardson added that soy consumption may be a way for people with pre-hypertension so as not to become hypertensive. Soy and isoflavones work by increasing the enzyme that makes nitric oxide, which in turn helps to widen blood vessels and reduce blood pressure.<br /><br />"Based on these findings and previous studies, we encourage adults to include soy products in their daily diet to reduce the chances of developing high blood pressure," said Richardson.<br /><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Source : Kompas.com</span></span></i></div>

Ryan of the University of Rochester, the study's lead researcher.<br /><br />To know more benefits of ginger, National Institutes of Health has made a summary of the truth of the efficacy of ginger in addressing a variety of diseases:<br /><br />* <b>Motion sickness:</b> Some studies report that ginger does not have much effect in overcoming motion sickness. Another study even noted that ginger may reduce vomiting only, not nausea. Further research is needed to determine the effects that might result from the consumption of ginger and other hangover medicine.<br /><br /><b>* Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy:</b> Preliminary studies suggest that ginger may be safe and effective for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy when used as recommended dose for short periods of time.<br /><br />Nausea from chemotherapy: Report of preliminary studies suggest that ginger may reduce the severity and duration of nausea in cancer patients after chemotherapy. Other studies also showed no adverse effects from the consumption of ginger. However, further research will be needed to confirm these results.<br /><br /><b>* Nausea and vomiting pascatindakan surgery</b>: Some research reports indicate the consumption of ginger before surgery can actually trigger an increase in nausea or vomiting after surgery patients.

Ginger also contains amino acids, protein, resin, diterpene, minerals, vitamin A and niacin. There is a volatile oil content in it: zingiberene, B-bisabolene, singiberol, zingiborenol, ar-curcumene and some aldehydes.<br /><br /><b>Side effects</b><br /><br />Few side effects that may arise when someone is eating ginger in small doses. The most common side effects reported were bloating, heartburn, and nausea. This effect is most often associated with the use of ginger powder.<br /><br />Until now, there are still few studies that provide information about the safety of the effects of long-term use of ginger in a safe and guidelines of ginger supplements.<br /><br />In theory, ginger may increase the risk of bleeding when the same time you are taking blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, anticoagulants such as warfarin (coumadin), anti-platelet drugs such as clopidogrel (Plavix), and anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) or naproxen ( Naprosyn, Aleve).<br /><br />Important is also known that ginger can also interfere with the work of drugs that alter cardiac contraction, including beta-blockers and digoxin.<br /><br />Before you start using ginger to treat any disease, it is better if you consult with your doctor, especially if you are undergoing long-term treatment.</span><br /><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Source : http://www.myhealthnewsdaily.com/</span></i></span></span></div>

Out of those who do eat breakfast, many choose convenience over nutritional value and choose to eat a doughnut, pastry or a fast-food breakfast sandwich.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></div><h2 style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1. Peanut Butter Pita</h2><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Peanut butter is high in protein, which is an ideal nutrient to consume in the morning. Studies show that a protein-packed breakfast will make you feel full for a longer period of time and, therefore, will reduce your cravings for snacks throughout the day. It will also reduce the brain signals related to food motivation and reward-driven eating.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">To make this meal, spread some peanut butter on whole wheat pita and top with some banana slices and wheat germ, which is a good source of iron and zinc. You can stuff everything inside the pita pocket to make it easier to transport and you can also experiment with different types of nut butters and fruits.</div><a name="more"></a><br /> <h2 style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">2. Peanut Butter Waffle</h2><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Instead of drenching your waffle in butter and syrup, spread some peanut butter on it. It would be best to make your own waffle, but if you have to use the frozen kind, choose a waffle that contains whole grains, which will stabilize your blood sugar and will make you feel fuller, longer. To add a little pizzazz, sprinkle some chopped nuts or raisins on top.</div><h2 style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">3. Egg Sandwich</h2><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Those egg-and-muffin sandwiches that you get at fast-food restaurants are full of fat, particularly saturated fat. Make your own egg sandwich instead, with a whole wheat English muffin or whole wheat bread. Use the entire egg, including the yolk, which contains the muscle-building vitamin B12. You can even add a few slices of turkey-bacon for a protein boost, or substitute your egg with tofu for a vegetarian breakfast.</div><h2 style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">4. Cereal And Yogurt</h2><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Cereal and milk is a great breakfast, but it’s a little tough to eat while commuting to work. Instead of using milk, mix bran flakes or granola clusters into a container of yogurt. Yogurt is high in calcium, phosphorus, vitamin B12 and protein and, it also contains live bacteria cultures that can rev up your immune system.</div><h2 style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">5. Vegetarian Breakfast Burrito</h2><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If you want to add a little kick to your morning, try this breakfast burrito. In a whole wheat tortilla, roll up some slices of a hard-boiled egg, green peppers and avocado. For a spicy kick, add a spoonful of salsa, which is full of vitamin C. What makes this breakfast fun is that you can mix and match different fillings.</div><h2 style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">6. Veggie Egg Scramble</h2><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If the breakfast burrito doesn’t satisfy your egg craving, make this instead. While a traditional omelet may require extra time and care, it’s a lot faster to scramble some eggs and throw in the same ingredients you would use in your omelet. Use vegetables like green peppers, olives and mushrooms. Add in tomatoes, which are heart healthy and whatever other vegetable you like.</div><h2 style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">7. Vegetable Pancakes</h2><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This breakfast options ensures that you get a daily serving of vegetables. Combine a half-cup of flour with an egg and a quarter-cup of milk. Add in carrots, zucchini, cabbage and some scallions for a little zest. Carrots are a good source or carotenoids, which the body turns into vitamin A, while zucchini is a good source of vitamin C and cabbage can lower your cholesterol levels.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Although you may not have time to make a batch of pancakes in the morning, you can make them ahead of time and freeze them. You can also add in any other vegetables you choose.</div><h2 style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">8. Brie-Raspberry Panini</h2><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Studies show that eating cheese for breakfast may help to lower your cholesterol levels. So melt some brie or some mozzarella on whole wheat bread and add some raspberry preserves or, better yet, fresh raspberries. Raspberries are high in vitamin C, magnesium and fiber and contain antioxidants that can prevent the development of macular degeneration and even cancer.</div><h2 style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">9. Blueberry Scones</h2><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Scones are delicious and a little indulgent, so in order to put a healthy spin on them, fill them up with fresh blueberries, which are rich in antioxidants. Use whole wheat flour, oats and flaxseed to get a dose of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Make a few variations with cranberries, which prevent bacteria from attaching to the urinary tract and stomach lining, and blackberries, which are a good source of vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, potassium and magnesium. Whip up a batch of these for the week, so you have a breakfast treat you can grab and eat on the go.</div><h2 style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">10. Strawberry-Banana Smoothie</h2><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Strawberries are a good source of vitamin C and antioxidants, and bananas are a good source of potassium and fiber. Blend a handful of strawberries and a frozen banana with one cup of cow’s or soy milk and a spoonful of protein powder. This smoothie is great by itself or when paired with any of these quick and healthy breakfast ideas.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Make sure you do a little prep work the night before or sometime earlier in the week for some of these breakfast ideas to help save you time. The great thing about these quick and healthy breakfasts is that most of them don’t require you to sit down and eat them with utensils.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Source : http://www.symptomfind.com/nutrition-supplements/quick-and-healthy-breakfasts/ </span></i></span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></div>

The experts explained that by making lifestyle changes can prevent about 70 percent of developing colon cancer.<br /><br />To protect yourself from the threat of cancer, it's time you make a plan and a proper diet program, especially by eating some of the following foods, which is believed to be the main enemy of colon cancer:<br /><br /><b>1. Beans, lentils, peas and other foods high in folate</b><br />Plenty of food as mentioned above if one of your family members of colorectal cancer. Beside rich in fiber, these foods are also high in folate, a B vitamin that protects cells from DNA damage. According to a study from Harvard University involving nearly 89 000 women aware that they are - who have a family history of colorectal cancer - which consume more than 400 mcg (micrograms) of folate per day, 52 percent lower risk of colorectal cancer than women who consumed only 200 mcg folate a day. You can get about 100 to 150 mcg simply by eating a cup of cooked beans or spinach. One medium-sized citrus fruit also contains approximately 50 mcg.</span><br /><a name="more"></a><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><b>2. Milk</b><br />Milk has a very vital role in building strong bone growth. But not many know that milk can also help protect you from colon cancer. Research involving more than half a million people showed that drinking at least a cup of milk every day may lower risk of colon and rectal cancer about 15 percent. Meanwhile, those who drank over two glasses a day, the risk dropped 12 percent.<br /><br />A recommendation suggests, a person must meet at least 250 milliliters of milk a day. Given the saturated fat associated with tumor growth, it would be better if you choose low-fat milk or skim milk.<br /><br /><b>3. Vegetables from the cruciferous family</b><br />Types of vegetables that are intended, among others, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, radish. This group of vegetables is the most powerful cancer fighter because it contains a variety of compounds able to drive the cancer, which damage cell DNA. Research consistently shows that people who eat vegetables, 50 percent had a lower risk of colon cancer than those who eat small amounts. You must meet at least four half-cup (125 milliliters) servings per week.<br /><br /><b>4. Wheat, fruits and vegetables high in fiber</b><br />Although no studies that definitively prove the benefits of fiber to prevent colon cancer, but experts are still pushing for a person eats more than 15 grams of fiber each day. Why? Because the fibers can quickly help food pass through the digestive system, so if there are foods that are carcinogens, the food was not long lived in the digestive tract.<br /><br />A study of large-scale European Prospective Investigation of Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) show that people who eat lots of fiber, 40 percent less likely to develop colon cancer.<br /><br /><b>5. Turmeric</b><br />Turmeric is the spice that is quite widely known and often used as a spice in cooking. Natural yellow color in turmeric, called curcumin, believed to have anti-cancer agents and anti-inflammatory effects (reducing inflammation which is thought to contribute to tumor growth). Curcumin can also help clean the carcinogens in the body prior to DNA cell damage and help repair the damage was done.<br /><br />Lab studies show this spice also helps stop the growth and spread of cancer cells. No recommendation is encouraged, but you only need to use it more often in your cooking mixture.<br /><br /><b>6. Fish and chicken</b><br />Various research shows evidence of an association between red meat consumption and colon cancer risk. But you need not be afraid to eat meat, because meat chicken and fish can be an alternative choice.<br /><br />Results from the study of EPIC suggests that eating at least 300 g of fish (two or three servings) a week can reduce the risk of colon cancer by 30 percent. This finding is not surprising. If you choose fatty fish like salmon or mackerel, directly you will get the omega-3 fatty acids more that help reduce inflammation in the intestine.<br /><br />If you do not really like eating fish, try the chicken. Studies show that consumption of chicken meat is not as red meat, because it does not actively trigger colon cancer. Remember, most of the fat found in chicken skin, so it is advisable to remove the chicken skin before cooking.<br /><br /><b>7. Garlic and onions</b><br />Garlic may not be able to protect you from vampires, but it can help rid the colon cancer. Both garlic and onions contain sulfide, which helps to clean carcinogens and cancer cells. Research shows that women who consumed 1-2 cloves of garlic per week had a 32 percent lower risk of colon cancer than women who rarely ate garlic.<br /><br />And according to a study that examined fruit and vegetable consumption among more than 650 people in South Australia showed that participants who frequently eat onions risk of colon cancer was reduced to 52 percent. Eating a few cloves of garlic and about a half cup (125 mL) garlic at least several times a week can help lower your cancer risk.<br /><b><br />8. Black tea and green tea</b><br />Lab studies show that compounds in tea helps to deactivate cancer-causing agents. In fact, these compounds are also able to inhibit cancer cell growth. Among the more than 35,000 women involved in the Iowa Women Health Study showed that those who drank two or more cups of tea every day almost 30 percent lower than those developing colon cancer is rarely drink tea.<br /><br />And while they are mainly black tea, it should be noted that green tea contains more of antioxidant compounds called catechins, which appears to work wonders.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div class="left pt_5 c_abu01_kompas2011 font12" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><b>Source :</b><a href="http://besthealthmag/" target="_blank"> besthealthmag</a></i></span></div>

Their theory, which currently appears online in Medical Hypotheses, could be used to develop specific mind-body practices for the prevention and treatment of these conditions in conjunction with standard treatments.</span><br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It is hypothesized that stress causes an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system (parasympathetic under-activity and sympathetic over-activity) as well as under-activity of the inhibitory neurotransmitter, gamma amino-butyric acid (GABA). Low GABA activity occurs in anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, epilepsy, and chronic pain.

Why We Need Vegetables

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Article courtesy of Donna Hargrove, D.O., Nutrition Editor</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Even though everyone knows that vegetables are good for you, 7 out 10 Americans still do not meet the daily recommendations for vegetables.  And, Americans are eating less today than 10 years ago.  Consumers say their main reasons for not getting enough vegetables are not liking the taste, inconvenience, high cost, and low availability.  However, there are plenty of easy, delicious and convenient ways for people to get more vegetables.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a

width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">WHY DO I NEED VEGETABLES?</span></b><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Vegetables are an essential part of a healthy diet.  Eating the recommended amount of vegetables can help to reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers.  Vegetables are also naturally lower in calories than other foods and therefore important in weight management.</span><br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Vegetables provide essential nutrients and most are low in fat.  They are an important source of potassium, magnesium, dietary fiber, folate, and vitamins A and C.</span><br /><ul><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Potassium:  Helps maintain healthy blood pressure</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></li><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Magnesium:  Necessary for healthy bones, muscles and for healthy blood pressure</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></li><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Fiber:  As part of an overall healthy diet, helps reduce cholesterol levels and maintain digestive health</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></li><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Folate:  Helps the body form healthy red blood cells</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></li><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Vitamin A:  Keeps eyes and skin healthy and helps protect against infections</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></li><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Vitamin C:  Helps heal cuts and wounds, keeps teeth and gums healthy and aids in iron absorption</span></li></ul><br /><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">WHY ARE EATING DIFFERENT COLORED VEGETABLES IMPORTANT?</span></b><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Think variety and think color.  Eating a variety of vegetables allows you to get a range of nutrients.  Different colored vegetables provide varying amounts of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients that provide unique health benefits.  The phytonutrients are responsible for the colors of vegetables.  Vegetables can be classified into color groups, such as Red (tomato), Orange (carrots), Green (spinach), White (onions, mushrooms), and Purple (cabbage).  Phytonutrients work best when eaten together in a whole food.  So, eating a wide variety of different colored vegetables provides greater health benefits than eating only a single type of vegetable.</span><br /><br /><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">HOW CAN VEGETABLES HELP MANAGE MY WEIGHT?</span></b><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Eating foods like vegetables can help with weight management by adding bulk without a lot of calories.  Eating bulker foods like vegetables helps people feel full and eat less over the day.</span><br /><br /><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">HOW MUCH DO I NEED?</span></b><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The amount you need depends on your age, gender and how active you are.  Most women should eat about 2 ½ cups of vegetables daily, men 3 cups, and children aged 4-8 years 1 ½ cups.  In general, 1 cup is equal to 1 cup chopped or cooked vegetables, 1 cup vegetable juice, or 2 cups raw leafy greens.</span><br /><br /><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">EASY WAYS TO GET MORE VEGETABLES</span></b><br /><ul><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Add vegetables or vegetable juice to soups, pasta dishes or casseroles</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></li><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Stock up on frozen vegetables for quick and easy cooking</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></li><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Drink vegetable juice as a snack or as a beverage with your meal</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></li><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Buy pre-cut vegetables for

While the high nutrient content in it is vitamin C.<br /><br />Here are some of the content of aloe vera and its benefits:<br /><br /><b>1. Reducing sugar in the blood.</b><br />One of the substances contained in the aloe vera is the aloe emodin, an organic compound from the group antrokuinon signals that activate the insulin levels of insulin-like perceiving and beta-substrat1, phosphatidyl inositol-3 kinase and increased the rate of glycogen synthesis by inhibiting glycogen synthase kinase 3beta, so very useful for reducing blood sugar ratio. In addition, according to Ayurveda, traditional Indian medicine, the benefits of aloe vera have been hypoglycemic. Which can reduce blood glucose (blood sugar) in people with diabetes.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><br /><b>2. Antiseptic drugs & medicine burns</b><br />Aloe vera plant leaves and roots contain saponins and flavonoids, in addition to the leaves contain tannins and polyphenols (Hutapea, 2000). These saponins have the ability as an effective cleanser that menyembuhakan open wounds, while the tannins can be used as a precaution against infection of the wound because of its antiseptic and burn treatment. Flavonoids and polyphenols have activity as an antiseptic (Harborne, 1987).<br /><br /><b>3. Laxative</b><br />Because aloe latex (yellow juice extracted from the outer layer of leaves) contain molecules with a strong laxative effect (called "anthranoids"), the plants can be effective in cases of constipation. These benefits are also recognized by the WHO and shown in several studies.<br /><br /><b>4. Regeneration of the skin</b><br />Rich in antioxidants (flavonoids, vitamin C, beta-carotene), aloe vera has anti-aging will. A study conducted in Turkey, 2009, showed that aloe vera can help to regenerate skin tissue. Moreover, it can diminish scars and lines white lines / red due to pregnancy or strecth marks, treating minor cuts and scratches from the knife cut and fade the black spots on the skin.<br /><br /><b>5. Helps digestion</b><br />Studies have shown aloe vera gel to repel and destroy toxins and other foreign material that is usually attached to the intestine. Toxins and foreign substances that attach to the gut is very dangerous because it results in the accumulation of waste that can block the intestinal tract and reduces the body's ability to absorb nutrients. Benefits of aloe vera is to eliminate waste and help in the setting of acid.

5 Reasons to Keep Drinking Coffee

But unfortunately, coffee also never be separated from the negative issues. Some research says that coffee can cause anxiety and insomnia in some people.<br /><br />But beneath it all, the coffee actually has health benefits as a support. Beth Reardon, director of nutrition at Duke Integrative Medicine says that coffee contains important antioxidant compounds more potent than other sources, such as fruits and vegetables. Here are the five best reasons why you should drink coffee:<br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><br /><b>1. Cut the risk of type 2 diabetes.</b><br />Various research shows, the more often a person drinks coffee, the more likely they are affected by type 2 diabetes. For example, postmenopausal women who drank at least four cups of coffee a day were more likely to avoid type 2 diabetes, according to a study by researchers at UCLA School of Public Health and Medicine involving more than 700 women in 2011.<br /><br />In fact, experts in Australia who published his research in the Archives of Internal Medicine noted, each additional one cup of coffee may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by 7 percent.<br /><b><br />2. Protecting the ravages of cancer cells</b><br />In previous research, the coffee never "accused" as a cause of cancer. However, the findings were not truth, because the researchers did not take into account research other precipitating factors such as alcohol and smoking. But now, there is evidence that coffee may protect against certain cancers, by enhancing DNA repair.<br /><br />Several studies have found an inverse association between coffee consumption and risk of liver cancer. Even in 2011, for example, researchers from Harvard found that women who drink several cups of coffee a day (caffeinated or decaf) have a lower risk of endometrial cancer. Another study also reported that in men who consumed six cups of coffee a day, have a lower risk of prostate cancer, which amounted to 60 a message.<br /><br />Other studies have linked coffee drinking with reduced risk of colon cancer, rectal cancer, oral cancer and esophageal cancer.<br /><br /><b>3. Reduce the risk of dementia</b><br />The scientists have so far not fully understand what causes brain changes associated with the development of Alzheimer's disease. But they learn more about risk factors for dementia - and coffee drinking habits seem to have an influence in reducing the risk of dementia.<br /><br />Researchers from Sweden and Denmark have been tracking the impact of coffee consumption in 1400 middle-aged people for an average of 21 years. They found a clear relationship that participants who drank 3-5 cups of coffee a day had a lower risk of developing dementia (65 percent).<br /><br /><b>4. Protect against Parkinson's disease</b><br />For men, it seems clear that coffee helps reduce the possibility of Parkinson's disease. Those who drank about 2-3 cups of coffee a day had 25 percent lower risk of Parkinson's than those who did not suffer at all. The findings are the result of the conclusion of the 26 studies that looked at the relationship between coffee consumption and Parkinson's. However, these researchers have not seen a strong influence for women to drink coffee.<br /><br /><b>5. Preventing depression</b><br />Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health to track 50,000 nurse in the Nurses Health Study for more than a quarter century. In 2011, researchers reported that those who drank four cups of coffee or more per day had a 20 percent lower risk for depression, compared with those who rarely or never drink coffee. Meanwhile, those who drank two to three cups a day had 15 percent lower risk of experiencing depression.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Source : http://www.caring.com/</span></i></span></div>
