Vitam D and Heart Disease - Related by XLPharmacy Blog


Vitamin D has long been known to build strong bones, but a recent British study has found that middle-aged and elderly people with high levels of vitamin D reduce their risk of developing heart disease or diabetes by 43 percent.


There were 99,795 participants included men and women from a variety of ethnic groups in this latest study. The participants with the highest levels of vitamin D lowered their risk of developing cardiovascular disease by 33 percent, their risk of Type 2 diabetes by 55 percent, and their chances of metabolic syndrome by 51 percent when compared to those with low levels of the vitamin.


Researchers found that high levels of vitamin D among middle-age and elderly populations are associated with a substantial decrease in cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Targeting vitamin D deficiency in adult populations could potentially slow the current epidemics of cardiometabolic disorders.


Vitamin D is also associated with a number of additional health benefits, including a reduced risk of developing several types of cancer. Vitamin D can be obtained from exposure to sunlight, vitamin supplements, and foods such as salmon and tuna. How much should I get?The National Institute of Health's Office of Dietary Supplements recommends that adults under the age of 50 get 200 IU of vitamin D each day. Adults 50-70 should get 400 IU daily and adults ages 71 and above should have an intake of 600 IU each day.


The Health Benefits of Green Tea - Related by XLPharmacy Blog


We have long sung the praises of drinking tea, especially green or white tea. If you enjoy drinking tea, you may be protecting yourself against developing cancer. A wealth of scientific research shows that drinking tea regularly, especially green and white tea, helps thwart cancer.


Types of cancer inhibited by tea include colon, breast, prostate, lung, melanoma, ovarian and bladder.Tea and teas components slow the development of cancer by suppressing signaling molecules needed for cancer cell reproduction, and by blocking enzymes needed for tumor invasion.


This not only helps prevent breast cancer, but a cancer that developed would more likely be curable. Researchers have discovered that green tea extract inhibited hormone-sensitive cancers, such as breast and prostate cancers. Scientists found that EGCG and green tea itself inhibited the growth and invasion of breast cancer.


Studies using a combination of the amino acids lysine, proline, and arginine, as well as ascorbic acid and EGCG, found they inhibited the invasion and growth of prostate cancer and, at high doses, increased the death of cancer cells (apoptosis).A great amount of research has shown that green tea extract, and especially EGCG, inhibits hematological cancers, like leukemia and multiple myeloma, and also curbs the invasion of bladder cancer.


EGCG has been found to inhibit the development of lung cancer and to reduce the growth of lung cancers should they develop.Careful studies have shown that EGCG inhibits ovarian cancer by a great number of methods, which makes it superior to conventional chemotherapy. Finally, recent studies show that green tea may inhibit the formation of melanomas.


The amount of tea doesn't need to be excessive to be helpful. The concentration used in studies to prevent colon cancer is equal to drinking two to three cups of strong white tea a day.

Cat Naps are Healthy - XLPharmacy Blog Relates


Instead of being viewed as lazy or slackers, workers who catch a "cat nap" in the afternoon may be gaining a bit more understanding. Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, found that napping an hour can dramatically restore and boost your brain power. Amazingly, they found a nap can actually make you smarter. On the other hand, the more hours we spend awake, the more sluggish our minds become.

These findings should give pause to college students who pull "all nighters" cramming for finals. The new study found this practice decreases the ability to learn by nearly 40 percent. "Sleep not only rights the wrong of prolonged wakefulness, but at a neurocognitive level, it moves you beyond where you were before you took a nap," an assistant professor of psychology at UC-Berkeley stated.

In the study, 39 healthy young adults were divided into two groups — nap and no-nap. Both groups were given rigorous learning tasks at noon to stress the hippocampus, a region of the brain that helps store fact-based memories. Results in both groups were similar. At 2 p.m., the first group napped for 90 minutes while the no-nap group stayed awake. At 6 p.m., both groups were subjected to a new series of learning exercises. Those who napped performed markedly better and actually improved their ability to learn.

Researchers believe sleep is needed to clear the brain's short-term memory storage and make room for new information. "It's as though the e-mail inbox in your hippocampus is full and, until you sleep and clear out those fact e-mails, you're not going to receive any more mail. It's just going to bounce until you sleep and move it into another folder," researchers said. In addition to boosting your brain power, one study showed that napping can reduce the risk of a fatal heart attack by 37 percent. Use these five tips for an effective, refreshing afternoon nap:

• The best naptime is 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. when you experience a natural dip in energy.
• Get comfortable. If you have a couch or comfy chair, use them, otherwise, stash a yoga mat and pillow behind your desk.
• Draw the shades and wear a sleep mask to stimulate melatonin, a sleep-inducing hormone.
• Your body temperature may fall during sleep, so cover yourself with a light blanket.

Do You Know Your Partners HIV Status?

Too many women trust their partners to keep them safe from HIV, so they don't ask the necessary questions.

"Do I know my own and my partner's HIV status? Is it only the two of us in this relationship? And should we use condoms? Relationships aren't always easy, and those aren't always questions that people really want to deal with.

Too many women also find it tough to get an HIV test, even when they ask for it. Many women simply say, 'I go out and ask my doctor for a test and they say, well, what have you been up to?'"

The solution, according to the experts, is easy: Make the HIV test a routine part of a woman's medical care.A lot of women who aren't sure if they've been tested for HIV or maybe are complacent about it have been seeing health providers, getting reproductive health care, getting Pap smears, etc.

So, if they haven't been offered an HIV test every time they have come in for a routine health exam, then it is like the medical community has said, 'This isn't important to you.'"Instead, doctors should, "offer [the test] as a 'no big deal' part of every exam, otherwise, "it becomes this big stigma point to ask for it."
