Asparagus For Insomnia Sufferers
The first shoots of wild plants grow wild in the forest as shrub that can reach 3 meters high is now better known as one of the prestigious vegetables are relatively expensive price. The entry of asparagus as a vegetable rather than as a game board on the market per se, but because asparagus has been shown to provide a wide range of benefits for the body.
Starting from the content of vitamin K, C, and D the body needs every day, until the content of folic acid is important during pregnancy in mature red blood cells and DNA synthesis as an intake support fetal growth and development. Moreover even this vegetable is a vegetable low in calories and high in fiber so it became a favorite of many people in performing the ritual diet.
But the benefits do not stop the asparagus nutritional richness alone. In fact, according to various studies, asparagus proved to be a vegetable that can improve male fertility, capable of binding to cancer-causing carcinogens, can improve blood circulation and helps release fatty deposits stick to the walls of blood vessels.
So it is not rare the doctors recommend the asparagus as one of the menu intake of people with diabetes, eczema sufferers, people with kidney disorders and also patients with prostate disorders.
Even a recent study found that asparagus contains tryptophan, an amino acid-producing hormone serotonin which is a helper in the brain that relax the central nervous provide soothing properties, comfort and sleep.
This is what then makes the asparagus as a natural remedy that is needed by insomniacs to help them sleep soundly. The expectation is no longer drinking habits or medication, sleeping pills are often more negative side effects to the dependence on the patient.
What!!!…….Smoking Can Shorten the Penis?
For some people, smoking can cause dependence, they felt unable to think or continue the activity without smoking. But you know, but can cause heart disease, liver disorders, stroke, cancer, leukemia, and various other malignancies, it turns out cigarettes can also lead to erectile dysfunction, so it can shorten the penis size.
According to research studies from Boston University School of Medicine, involving 200 participants were male smokers, smokers had an average shortening of the penis by 1 cm. “This is the largest-ever study of smoking-related sexual sensitivity,” said Dr. Pedram Salimpour, one of the researchers of this study.
According to Dr. Salimpour, the negative effect of smoking on the penis as well as the influence of smoking on the heart. This is a blood vessel damage, which makes the blood flow is inhibited. All this influenced the effect of elastin, a protein of elastic connective tissue and allows the tissues in the body to return to its original shape after stretching or contraction. In this case, elastin affects the ability of penile erection. Dr. Salimpour re-explain, elastin can stretch like rubber. This is what happens to the penis as a result of increased blood flow.
Smoking can damage the body’s ability to stretch it, so it can affect the size of the penis and erectile capacity. But researchers could not determine how many cigarettes can damage the elastin and shorten the penis size.
“This still requires further study, but it seems the dangers of cigarettes are more susceptible to the penis rather than the heart,” explains Dr. Salimpour. According to him, this was due to existing blood vessels in the penis is much smaller than the vein in the liver. Existing blood vessels in the liver measuring 1.5 mm, while the penile blood vessels 1 mm or less precisely measuring 0.5 mm.
Worse, Dr.. Salimpour explained, there is a possibility that the same could occur in passive smokers. But this requires further study. To avoid this happening to you or people around you, then begin to lead a healthy life without cigarettes from now, before it becomes remorse.
Between Nuts and Cholesterol
Eating nuts associated with improvement of blood cholesterol levels based on analysis of data from 25 studies published in May 2010 in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
“Dietary interventions for lowering blood cholesterol levels and blood lipoprotein levels modify the spearhead of the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease,” is the opening sentence in this article.
“Currently, the consumption of nuts to lower cholesterol is the focus of the researchers because of their potential to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and lower blood fat levels. Decrease in blood cholesterol levels in this case is unique because the nutrients contained in the beans. Nuts are rich in vegetable protein, fats (essential unsaturated acid), fiber, minerals, vitamins, and other components such as antioxidants and phytoesterols.
Joan Sabaté, MD, Dr.PH, of Loma Linda University of California et al, collect primary data from 25 studies involving consumption of nuts in seven cities and 583 participants were women and men with high or normal cholesterol levels. All of these studies compared between the control group and the group who ate nuts, participants were not taking cholesterol-lowering drug.
Participants in this study consumed about 67 grams of nuts a day. Consumption of peanuts in the amount of 67 g / day associated with a decrease in average total cholesterol concentration of 5.1%, 7.4% decrease in LDL or “bad” cholesterol, and 8.3% change in the ratio of LDL / HDL. In addition, consumption of peanuts can also lower triglyceride levels of about 10.2% for individuals with hipertrigliserida (minimum 150 mg / dl).
The effects of nut consumption is indeed highly dependent of the amount of nuts consumed. Different types of beans does not affect its effect on blood cholesterol levels. Nut consumption modifies the effect of LDL-C cholesterol levels and body mass index.
Hail This supports the conclusion that shows that nuts can be used as a therapeutic intervention to improve blood cholesterol levels. Increasing consumption of nuts is expected to lower blood cholesterol levels (at least in a short time) and has the potential to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
An Egg for Health
Along with increased public awareness of the dangers of cholesterol, in addition to meat, egg yolks now includes foods that are avoided. In fact, experts now conclude that the egg does not affect cholesterol levels significantly.
This is supported by statistical data based on 224 studies conducted on the diet for 25 years. It is known that it is not cholesterol that affect blood cholesterol levels, but the saturated fat. Eggs are known only contain less saturated fat.
Recent research also shows that eating eggs can improve lipid levels (cholesterol) cholesterol rises when a person who eat foods rich in cholesterol.
There are so many essential nutrients in an egg. Call it the choline, which is essential for brain function and health.
One egg yolk contains more than 25 percent of choline each day. Adults need 425 g of choline per day, while toddlers need 250 grams per day. A study revealed that adequate choline intake could lower breast cancer risk.
Eggs also contain anti-oxidants and lutein that help prevent visual impairment due to aging and cataract. Levels of lutein in eggs is more even than in green leafy vegetables.
People who have heart disease was not recommended for abstinence eggs. They are advised to reduce the consumption of egg yolks to two times a week. A recent study also found no link between eating six egg yolks per week with the incidence of heart attacks or strokes in healthy people.
To benefit more from the egg, currently on the market are eggs that have been enriched with omega-3. Eggs enriched eggs are included in the plus-plus. Because in addition to containing nutrients in eggs, also contain fatty acids that protect the heart.
The experts recommend the consumption of 1,000 mg of DHA and EPA per day, given that most people rarely eat fish. To get the same benefits, it is advisable to consume eggs that have been enriched and contains 300 mg of omega-3.

Radiotherapy After Breast Cancer Surgery
Wednesday, October 19, 2011, has been published in The Lancet Medical Journal, a study that will benefit radisi therapy significantly reduced the re-emergence of cancer after breast cancer surgery as much as half a chance in the next 10 years and is able to reduce the risk of dying from breast cancer with a ratio of 1:6 in 15 years.
The study, led by Professor Sarah Darby of the Clinical Trial Service Unit at Oxford University, England, this directly also found no significant difference between women who did or who did not receive radiation with a death rate from diseases other than breast cancer, as had presented in an earlier study said that radiation for breast cancer can harm the heart and increase the risk of women dying from a heart attack. This is because the technique has been increasing over the last few years avoiding exposure of the heart and lungs to radiation, so no need for such worries.
This study represents the largest study of the effect of radiotherapy in women who’ve had surgery “breast-conserving” or simply take part without taking the overall breast cancer patients by analyzing clinical trial data involving more than 10,000 women over a period of ten years to 20 years.
Can be seen clearly reduced cancer recurrence in the first year after radiotherapy and lasted for the first decade. After 10 years diagnosed with breast cancer, 35% of women who do not perform radiotherapy will experience reappearance of their cancer will. In contrast to those who underwent radiotherapy only 19% experienced a recurrence.
Quickness of a long time to see the emergence of effects of radiotherapy to death in patients with breast cancer, in 15 years shows that 25% of women who did not receive radiation therapy had died compared with 21% mortality rate in patients receiving radiotherapy. So the bottom line is that radiotherapy did not provide any impact on mortality in patients with breast cancer.
