December 30, 2011 | 
Author 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.
