<span style="color: #a64d79;">Researchers have developed a new oral antiseptic spray which they claim can kill 99.9% of infectious airborne germs</span>.<br />
<br />
Researchers from the University Hospitals Case Medical Center after two separate studies developed Halo Oral Antiseptic, a first-of-its kind germ-fighting spray.<br />
<br />
"Respiratory tract disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Halo is unique in that it offers protection from airborne germs such as <span style="color: #a64d79;">influenza and rhino virus</span>," Frank Esper, lead author of one of the studies, said. <br />
<br />
Esper and his team used glycerine and xanthan gum as a microbial barrier combined with cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) as a broadspectrum anti-infective agent to fight respiratory illnesses . To test this, clinical strains of 2009 pandemic H1N1 were used as a prototype virus to demonstrate Halo's anti-infective activity in cell culture assays. <br />
<br />
"<span style="color: #a64d79;">The glycerine and xanthan gum prevent the germs from entering a person's system and the CPC kills the germs once they're trapped there</span>," Esper said.<br>

<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Move as much as possible, walking frequently, watching less TV and even fidgeting while you're seated.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Stock your kitchen with plenty of nutritious treats.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Place your gym bag near the door, and keep any home exercise equipment where you can frequently see it.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Make exercise part of your social life.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Measure your waist once monthly and make changes to your diet and exercise routine if your waistline starts growing.</span></li>

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">People with Celiac disease should avoid eating gluten, a protein found in most grains, especially wheat.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics makes these suggestions for avoiding gluten:</span></div><ul style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;"><li> Always read food labels. Look for gluten-free foods that are fortified with Iron and Folate.</li>

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Listening to music everyday could be a simple and effective way to enhance well-being and health as it may evoke positive emotions and reduce the listener’s stress levels, a new study has revealed.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The new doctoral thesis in psychology from the University of Gothenburg is based partly on a survey study involving 207 individuals, partly on an intervention study where an experiment group consisting of 21 persons listened to self-chosen music for 30 minutes per day for two weeks while an equally sized control group got to relax without music.</div><br />
<div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><strike><br />
</strike>The results of the studies show that positive emotions were experienced both more often and more intensively in connection with music listening.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
The experiment group did also perceive less stress and had lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol. The more the participants in the survey study liked the music, the less stress they experienced.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
“But it should be pointed out that when studying emotional responses to music it is important to remember that all people do not respond in the exact same way to a piece of music and that one individual can respond differently to the same piece of music at different times, depending on both individual and situational factors,” said the author of the thesis Marie Helsing.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">“To get the positive effects of music, you have to listen to music that you like,” Helsing added.</div></div>Brooklynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12403485291561487840noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727688373377056606.post-20277886595276896412012-03-06T01:16:00.000-08:002012-03-06T01:16:06.159-08:00Dealing with Dry Mouth<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Dry mouth is more than just uncomfortable.

Hunger is your body's way of saying it needs to be nourished.<br />
<br />
But there are other things that may prompt you to seek a snack, even when you're not hungry. <span style="color: #a64d79;">The American Academy of Family Physicians mentions these "false hunger" signals:</span><br />
<ul><li> Being thirsty. Satisfy this by simply drinking a glass of water.</li>
<li> Craving or having an urge to eat a certain food.</li>
<li> Feeling emotional, including angry, lonely or sad.</li>

Researchers led by Oregon State University followed more than 2,600 adults who ranged from 18 to 85 years old.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Those who met national exercise guidelines --</span> <span style="color: #a64d79;">150 minutes a week of moderate exercise or 75 minutes a week of vigorous exercise -- were 65-percent less likely to report frequently feeling sleepy during the day compared to people who got less exercise</span>.<br />
<br />
They were also less likely to report having trouble concentrating. Experts say exercise may lead to better sleep by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression levels. It also may help that exercise helps people lose weight, which can lead to improved sleep. </div></div>Brooklynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12403485291561487840noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727688373377056606.post-43734800120407634272011-11-24T20:09:00.000-08:002015-08-21T06:41:53.682-07:00Tips to Protect Kids Who Have Food Allergies<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Depending on your child's sensitivity, a food allergy can range from very mild to life-threatening. <span style="color: #a64d79;">The American Dietetic Association offers these suggestions to help protect kids who have food allergies</span>:</div><ul style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><li> Always check food labels for potential allergens.</li>

<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">The agency offers these suggestions for a healthy vegetarian diet:</span></div><ul style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><li> Choose plant-based protein sources such as soy, nuts, peas and beans.</li>

Dr Gregg Homer of Stroma Medical, a clinical equipment company primarily based in California, claimed his new "Lumineyes" treatment might be a permanent alternative to colored contact lenses. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
The treatment uses a laser to remove melanin, the brown pigment, from the upper layer of the iris, leaving the blue color free to replace it within two to three weeks of the procedure. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">But the process is irreversible because the melanin will not grow back and cannot be replaced</span>. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
Brown eyes, the most common type across the world, appear so because of the layer of pigment at the front of their eye. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
People with blue eyes also have melanin, but it is concentrated at the back of the iris rather than the front, which means the eye absorbs longer wavelengths of light while reflecting shorter ones. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
Dr Homer, a former entertainment lawyer, said the cosmetic operation would cost about £3,000 and could be available in countries outside America within 18 months, but the Daily Mail reported that clinical trials have yet to be completed. </div><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">He told KTLA Morning News: "A blue eye is not opaque, you can see deeply into it, while a brown eye is very opaque. I think there is something very meaningful about this idea of having open windows to the soul." </span><br />

Now, a new research has revealed that eating a modest amount of walnuts as a regular part of the diet might reduce a woman's chance of developing breast cancer. <br />
<br />
The researchers at the Marshall University found that <span style="color: #a64d79;">a daily dose of walnuts - equal to 2 ounces a day in humans - reduces the growth of breast cancer tumors in mice</span>. <br />
<br />
Lead researcher Elaine Hardman, Ph.D., of Marshall's Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine, and colleagues studied the mice from the mother, through conception and throughout life. They then compared mice given walnuts to those fed a regular diet. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">They found that the group whose diet included walnut at both stages developed breast cancer at less than half the rate of the group with the standard diet. In addition, the number of tumors and their sizes were significantly smaller. </span><br />
<br />
"These reductions are particularly important when you consider that the mice were genetically programmed to develop cancer at a high rate," Hardman said. <br />
<br />
"We were able to reduce the risk for cancer even in the presence of a preexisting genetic mutation," she added. Using genetic analysis, they researchers found that the walnut-containing diet changed the activity of multiple genes that are relevant to breast cancer in both mice and humans. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and phytosterols that may all reduce the risk of the disease. </span><br />
<br />
"The results of this study indicate that increased consumption of walnut could be part of a healthy diet and reduce risk for cancer in future generations," she said.

<br />
Otago University researchers analyzed the relationship between self-reported speed of eating and body mass index (BMI) in more than <span style="color: #a64d79;">1,500 New Zealand women aged 40 to 50</span>, an age group known to be at high risk of weight gain. <br />
<br />
Study principal investigator Dr Caroline Horwath said that after adjusting for factors such as age, ethnicity, smoking, physical activity and menopause status, the researchers found that <span style="color: #a64d79;">the faster women reported eating, the higher their BMI</span>, reported English.news.cn.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
The study by the university's department of human nutrition could lead to new and more successful methods of treating obesity, the researchers say.</div></div>Brooklynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12403485291561487840noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727688373377056606.post-12754135990514051122011-08-17T20:49:00.000-07:002011-08-17T20:49:53.234-07:00Benefits of chewing Sugarless Gum<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Bacteria that contribute to dental plaque desire for sugar. These bacteria produce plaque acids that aid in tooth decay by breaking down tooth enamel.<br />
<br />
Chewing sugarless gum, however, can help promote a healthier mouth, the American Dental Association says. <span style="color: #a64d79;">The ADA mentions these possible benefits of chewing sugarless gum:</span></div><ul style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><li> Chewing helps increase the production of saliva, which can help wash away acids that can damage teeth.</li>
<li> Increased saliva includes more calcium and phosphate, which can help strengthen tooth enamel.</li>
<li> Sugarless gum contains sweeteners -- such as aspartame, sorbitol or mannitol -- that don't contribute to cavities.</li>
