Help of yogurt and fruit against Parkinson disease?
Researchers have identified two substances that can slow the disease process of PD or even counteract. The naturally substances occur in yogurt and unripe fruit. It would be a sensation: substances that stuck in everyday foods, intended to prevent or at least to influence on the course of Parkinson disease positive. If true, a risk-free treatment of nervous disease could be possible. In Parkinson disease the nerve cells and the mitochondria are damage, as a result it leads to the death of nerve cells in the Substantia nigra. Now scientists have discovered that the substance D-lactate glycolic acid repair the cellular power plants and thus ensure the survival of nerve cells. D-lactate glycolic acid and repair defective cells. It has long been known that Parkinson disease is occur due in part to genetic defects. For dozens of genes have...

Vitamin D deficiency leads to increased risk of dementia
More and more people in US suffer from dementia. A new study has now shown that a lack of vitamin D may contribute to increase the risk of dementia developing. Even the emergence of Alzheimer’s disease may be caused by lack of Vitamin D. A research team could now confirm this thesis by a six-year study in which was involved over 1,600 seniors aged 65 and over. It was found that among seniors with a slight vitamin D deficiency, the risk of a disease of the nervous system as compared with the participants who were adequately supplied with the “sunshine vitamin”, had already increased by about half. In the subjects with severe Vitamin D deficiencies, the disease risk was more high than twice. Own production of Vitamin D decreases with the age. A causal relationship between vitamin D deficiency...

Cool and dry? Properly storage of medicines
Surveys show that most Americans store their drugs in the bathroom. However, since many drugs must be protected from heat and moisture, the bathroom is a really bad repository. How a drug must be stored as long as possible to be effective, can be found out by looking in the package insert. Drugs contain substances that can change with incorrect storage, which not only leads to an ineffectiveness of the drug, but may also undesirable side effects. The various ingredients make different types of support needed, which is noted in the package insert and sometimes on folding pack. For this reason, a drug should always should be stored in the original packaging, so it quickly becomes clear whether it might be located in the wrong place and may no longer be used. With the “room temperature” are temperatures between...

Yoga protects the heart as well as hardy sports?
Endurance sports is regarded as bullet for prevention of cardiovascular disease. The same protective effect can be also achieved through yoga. Yoga is good. The gentle but intense stretching and moving helps to relax, can relieve depression and even to keep the brain young. However, for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases has been recommended jogging or other movement-intensive sports. Now a study published in the Journal of Preventive Cardiology, showed that yoga has a positive effect on the risk factors for cardiovascular disease. For analysis, the researchers chose almost 3,000 people who take a part in research. For all participants the classic risk factors for cardiovascular disease were initially checked: Blood pressure, body weight and cholesterol levels. Some of the volunteers regularly visited yoga classes, other completed classic endurance training in the form of jogging or cycling, a third...

Antibiotic therapy promotes obesity in infants
An antibiotic therapy in the first months of life may affect on the metabolism of the children so that their risk of later developing obesity will enlarged. It is findings of a recent study from US. An antibiotic therapy in infancy may later promote obesity. This is indicated by an American study, which one was carried out more than with 10,000 babies. Accordingly, children who were exposed to antibiotic therapy in the ege to the sixth month of life, get higher risk develop of obesity than others. While obesity is often associated with an unhealthy diet and lack of exercise, the problem is probably more complex, as claims investigator Leonardo Trasande. While it is a result of the study not proofs direct causal relationship between treatment with antibiotics and the subsequent development of overweight. However, the study authors suggest...
