Apple Skin Health Benefits

Many people peels apple before eating it. It is quite concerning because a recent research suggested that the chemical behind the apple skin’s waxy shine contains ursolic acid. 

Researchers in University of Iowa point out that the acid is being credited with a host of health benefits from building muscle to keeping the lid on weight. The chemical is proven to help improving the mass of muscle and prevent muscular atrophy on lab rats. The result that is most likely applicable on human’s muscle.

Apple peels is also known to reduce body fat, blood sugar, cholesterol and trigliserida. Given that, it’s no wonder the peels often become the ingredient for muscular disease and metabolism problem such as diabetic.

The Benefits of ursolic acid

 “Muscle atrophy is a quite general issue. The condition affects most people especially when under treatment for some illness of for ageing. However, there’s no known cure for it,” said Christopher Adams,  an endocrinologist and senior study writer.

Atrophy rises because of muscle wasting or lack of physical exercise. For most people atrophy is caused by not enough utilizing muscle. Think of astronauts who are lying in bed for a long period, away from earth gravity.  

We learn the gene of muscle activities on people with atrophy and use the information we gathered to work on a chemical component that can block atrophy. One of these chemical is very important known as ursolic acid and it is we found a highly concentration amount at apple peels, “he added on.

Researchers suggested that ursolic acid can reduce muscle atrophy and pushing the growth of muscle such as insulin-1 (IGF1) to bulk up muscle. “It is done by supporting two hormones that develop muscle, insulin -1 (IGF1. Since the acid increase the mass of the muscle, it reduces the atrophy. The interesting part is, for rats, the peels show some additional benefit which is reducing body fat, controlling the blood sugar level and cholesterol,” he concluded. 

In addition, even the ursolic acid increase the muscle mass on rats, it doesn’t affect its weight. Rats that consume ursolic acid have lower body fat.

Breast Cancer ; Facts and Myth

Add Comment

FACTS AND MYTHS About Breast Cancer

There are many myths about the causes and detection of breast cancer that are unfounded or simply untrue. Here are some of the common myths about breast cancer causes that you may have seen or heard reported in the media.  

MYTH: Abortion and miscarriage cause breast cancer

THE FACTS: Abortion does not increase the risk of breast cancer. Scientific evidence  demonstrates that there is no link between breast cancer and spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) or induced abortion.  These findings are supported by:

• American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
• Collaborative Group on Hormonal Factors in Breast Cancer
• National Cancer Institute (USA)
• Society of Gynecologic Oncologists of Canada
• Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada
• World Health Organization   

MYTH: Antiperspirants/Deodorants cause breast cancer  

THE FACTS: Several studies have been conducted on the link between antiperspirants/deodorants and breast cancer and to date there is no conclusive evidence that they increase your risk of breast cancer.

Some deodorants contain aluminum. You may be advised not to wear deodorant containing aluminum when you go for a screening mammogram. This is because it could show up on the mammogram images and may lead to an inaccurate result by making breast cancers and other abnormalities harder to detect.

If you are concerned about the ingredients in your personal care products, follow the precautionary principle – use simpler products and read the label so you avoid anything with “parfume” or “fragrance.”    


MYTH: Breast implants cause breast cancer  

THE FACTS: Several studies conclude that having cosmetic breast implants does not increase breast cancer risk. However, implants can sometimes make it harder to see breast tissue, and abnormalities including cancers, on mammogram images.

If you have breast implants, continue to have regular mammograms but make sure to let the breast screening program know that you have implants when booking your mammogram appointment. A special technique called implant displacement views can be used to screen women with implants. 


MYTH: Bruising the breast causes breast cancer 

THE FACTS: There is no scientific evidence that bumping or bruising your breast increases the risk of breast cancer. The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation encourages all women and men to practice being breast aware. Know what changes to check for and if you notice any unusual changes discuss them with a health care provider.  


MYTH: Men don’t get breast cancer  

THE FACTS: Men have breasts and can develop breast cancer. Their risk, however, is very low, with fewer than one per cent of all breast cancer cases in Canada occurring in men. Despite the small number of cases, breast cancer in men is not well understood, stigmatized, and may be mis-diagnosed or diagnosed at a later stage.

Men, like women, are encouraged to be breast aware and discuss any unusual changes in their breasts with a health care provider.  

MYTH: Cell phone use causes breast cancer  

THE FACTS: There is currently no conclusive link between cell phone use and the increased risk of breast cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer concluded in 2011 that radiofrequency fields, such as those from cell phones, may cause cancer but more research is needed before this is confirmed.   

If you are concerned about cell phone use and the possible link to cancer:  

• Reduce the amount of time you use a cell phone or consider texting instead of talking
• Use a headset instead of holding the phone next to your ear
• Don’t carry your cell phone next to your skin (e.g. in your bra)

MYTH: Radiation by mammography causes breast cancer 

THE FACTS: Modern mammography equipment requires very small doses of radiation. Research confirms that the risk of harm from radiation exposure by mammography is very low. Radiation would need to be delivered to the breast tissue at 100-1000 times higher than used for mammography in order to have a statistical increase in breast cancer risk.

The benefits of the earlier diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer far outweigh the risk of the small dose of radiation received during a mammogram.  

MYTH: Thermography is an effective breast screening tool  

THE FACTS: Research shows that thermography is not an effective way of detecting breast cancer. No credible research study has shown that thermography is an effective screening tool for detecting breast cancer earlier or as an indicator of a person’s risk of developing breast cancer. Thermography is NOT RECOMMENDED by any leading cancer organization or medical authority as a substitute for regular screening mammograms.

MYTH: Wearing an underwire bra causes breast cancer 

THE FACTS: No research shows that wearing an underwire bra – or any other kind –increases your risk of breast cancer.

That was a few of myth and facts about breast cancer, Here's The Easiest Way Breast Cancer Detection

The first time being diagnosed of breast cancer can hit you hard. When the doctor brings you the news, you are probably terrified.

Night Shift Women Face More Risk of Breast Cancer

Add Comment
According to a Canadian medical review, as reported by cbc.ca, someone who works on the night shift has a greater risk of breast cancer those who than those who don’t. The review doesn’t specifically aim for women because actually men share the same threat.

Now, if the statement above is correct, then how can working after sunset increases the risk of breast cancer?

The conclusion had been presented as evidence in a previous study conducted by The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). The research revealed that there is an actual connection between the work hour and health condition, known as carcinogenic (causing toxic or poison). 

Face More Risk of Breast Cancer

However, the lack of evidence provided in the report as well as the limited sorts of respondents - the study only examined nurses who work on night shift – had encouraged Prof. Kristan Aronson from Queen's University in Kingston to devise a new study.

Prof. Kristan Aronson decided to expand the scope of respondents and investigate 1100 women with breast cancer diagnosis and 1100 women with no diagnosis of breast cancer. Although his aim focuses on the correlation between night shift and the risk of breast cancer, Prof. Kristan also included other factors such as reproductive patterns, lifestyle and body mass of each respondent.

A hypothesis can finally be concluded from the study by Aronson. The conclusion states that a woman who works at night and spent his days sleeping or outside activity had a greater risk of breast cancer. That's because the lack of production of the hormone melatonin - the hormone anti cancer - due to lack of sun exposure that he got.

Eventually, a hypothesis is drawn from the research, suggesting that a woman who works at night and sleeps or lacking of outside activities during the day pose greater chance of breast cancer. That's because the lack of the hormone melatonin - the hormone anti cancer - produced by the body due to lack of sun exposure that she gets.

Now ladies, aren’t we suppose to prevent this? Our health is way too precious to be trade away for some time wasting activities that could threat our healthy such as smoking. It’s true the risk of smoking is not that high. Even so, smoking earlier will fold increase the risk. So, aren’t we supposed to avoid it?

Chaga mushroom which has the Latin name Inonotus obliquus grows in birch rod. It contains a high concentration of acid Betulinic who have antiretroviral properties, anti- inflammatory, and has recently discovered the existence of anticancer agents.

“This fungus strains showed low toxicity and potent antiviral effect. Fungus has a very strong effect against smallpox, influenza, and HIV, “said scientists from Vector as Siberian Times reported on Friday (19/09/2013).

Previously, researchers selected 33 of the 82 strains of fungi that grow in the East Siberian Sea. They found that Chaga mushrooms useful as anti- HIV and anti- AIDS due to substances and the ability to stimulate anti- tumor immunity.

Chaga mushroom became more popular around Siberia peoples because it shows the ability of a large antivirus. Russian folklore often mentions the properties of Chaga as a dietary supplement.

 This fungus is also described as a cancer drug in Alexander Solzhenitsyn's novel written in 1968 entitled “Cancer World ‘.

5 facts and health benefits of Lactic Acid

Add Comment
Lactic acid accumulates when you do physical activity (exercise) at high intensity. Lactic acid also plays a role in the body's metabolic processes. But there are more facts about lactic acid than it is.

Here are the facts and health benefits of the lactic acid you need to know:

1. Lactic acid is always present in the body.
Lactic acid is always produced even when the body is resting. At rest, lactic acid levels produced about 1 millimoles / liter (mmol / L).

The more intense physical activity, the more lactic acid is produced. When active, the concentration of lactic acid could reach approximately 4 mmol / L, or 70-80% of VO2 maximum.

2. Not only because of lack of oxygen.
Many people think the lack of oxygen will lead to increased production of lactic acid. In addition to the lack of oxygen which is one of the factors that contribute to the formation of lactic acid, the absence of "molecular career" NAD (nicotinomide adenine dinucleotide) and FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide) has a much greater effect.

These molecules play an important role in the transport of hydrogen into the cell for use in energy production.
When molecules are not present career, will be joined by hydrogen pyruvate to produce lactic acid.

3. Lactic acid as fuel.
Lactic acid will usually disappear from the muscle tissue within 30 minutes of physical activity. Lactic acid is used by the liver, heart, and kidney as a source of energy. Liver to convert lactic acid into glucose, which is then released into the bloodstream to be used muscles. Lactic acid can also be converted into glycogen to be stored.

4. Fatigue and lactic acid.
Increased lactic acid will cause physical fatigue resulting in lower performance. But not many know how this could happen. Fatigue occurs because some stages. First, the energy reduction will be felt. Increase in hydrogen reduces the production of ATP (energy) due to inhibition of enzymes involved in energy production.

Second, the muscles can not contract normally or by force as in the past. To contract, muscles need calcium. The problem occurs when the hydrogen blocking calcium, so that the muscle can not contract normally.

5. Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (Doms).Doms is a pain or pain in the muscles that you feel 24 - 48 hours after physical activity or sport. DOMS was originally thought to occur due to the presence of lactic acid. In fact not the case. Doms occurs due to excessive physical activity causes damage to the muscle or connective tissue.

The body responds by repairing the damage and stimulate sensory nerve endings resulting in pain. Doms usually happens when you first start the sport, or when exercising at a very high intensity.

Fat body, Genetic or Lifestyle?

Add Comment
"Battle Your Biology? Fat Chance!”, Is a headline that became a hot topic in the health section of The New York Post newspaper that was released some time ago. Citing research from a variety of nutrition experts and physicians, in the article is written that genetic factors  also influence a person's weight. So, if you are fat easy, it's not your fault entirely. Is this true?

Dr. James Rosen, a professor from the University of Vermont stated, "We know that outside environmental factors and behavior, genetic factors also play a major role in determining a person's weight."

While genetic factors influence body weight and fat makes a person inherits genes from his parents, then the best way to avoid weight gain is willing to take responsibility for yourself and try to make changes. Remember, though genetically inherited, obesity is preventable.

Obesity & Body Types


In the 1930s, Harvard psychologist Dr. William H. Sheldon developed a classification system for different body types called "somatotyping." Somatotyping a classification system of the body based on the body type of each individual is divided into 3 different types, namely, ectomorph, mesomorphs and endomorphs.

Body types are ectomorph body shape looks thin. The body of the owner usually has a fast metabolism and low body fat. Even when eating a lot of food even once, their weight is difficult to grow.

Mesomorph is an athletic body shape with a solid body and tend to be muscular. This body type usually easiest to form the body and gain muscle mass.

While Endomorphs is someone who tend to overweight, has little muscle mass and fat overstocked. Mesomorph weight will easily rise if you eat certain foods.

Endomorphs produce too much insulin when eating carbohydrates. This is one factor contributing to increased fat storage and difficulty in losing existing fat. This condition is known as "insulin resistance" or "Syndrome X."

Hormones and Weight Loss


The scientists claim that the tendency to gain weight as well as the owner Endomorph body chemical imbalance in the brain that causes people to overeat. The content of this chemical called ghrelin.

Ghrelin is a hormone produced by the cells lining the stomach P/D1 of human and epsilon cells of the pancreas that stimulates hunger. Ghrelin levels increase before meals and decrease after meals.

Ghrelin may lead to accumulation of fat especially in the abdominal area (visceral obesity) which may engakibatkan high blood pressure to diabetes type 2.

In fact, further research is mentioned, when a person is given an injection of ghrelin and then welcome to eat, they ate 30 percent more than usual!

Basically, what the medical community is trying to tell you is that if you are overweight, it is not only affecting the lifestyle, but you may already be genetically inherited.

Experts also suggest that efforts to lose weight instantly without any offset by setting diet and proper exercise should be avoided early on.

The use of drugs sometimes can never be a solution healthy. Diet experts agree if the most healthy way to lose weight is to maintain a diet, exercise, with patience and persistence.

All People Can Lose Weight

Dr. Thomas Wadden, a psychologist from Syracuse University, said, "If you have a genetic predisposition towards obesity, you can reduce the fat like everyone else. No one is destined to be fat, because in essence everyone can lose weight. "As quoted muscleandstrength.

"You just have to work harder and longer than anyone else's. The result may not be as thin as you can imagine, but you can lose weight. "Said Wadden.

Is not a wise thing if you have to give up just because it has genetic factors causing obesity. Bring up the reasons that make you surrender yourself and do not want to do anything to lose weight even make the weight increase.

So, start taking responsibility and make healthy changes in life that 'legacy fat' does not haunt you forever.

The Medical Benefits of Virgin Blood.

What’s the first thing in your mind if someone told you that an organization, or even a hospital are seeking blood of 100 virgins for sample? That must have been for some hocus focus ritual or some supranatural stuffs.

When Peking University Cancer Hospital in China issued a notice for request of virgin blood, it was a blow in society. The hospital and research center requested 100 samples of female blood age ranged from 18-24 years old. The condition was that the source must be virgin, as reported by Huffingtonpost.com, Monday (16/9).
 “We don’t need males’ only females’, it’s for scientific medical purposes” a statement quoted from China social media.

Guan Jiuping, the hospital spokesman confirmed that the blood request has absolutely nothing to do with any ritual or blood sacrificial. The researchers at the hospital was investigating human papilloma virus (HPV). The virus was known to attack genital areas, up to uterus.

So why virgin?
It wasn’t that complicated. HPV finds its way to spread by sexual intercourse, easier for those who often change partners. For female who are yet to have sex, the risk for HPV is very low. That’s the reason why the researchers only asked for blood from virgin for negative control in their research.

According to data reported by IBTimes.co.uk, there have been 50 female virgins who enroll for a blood sample. Surely the blood to be taken in just small amount. Ultimately, this research aims for science in medication, particularly to protect women from the risk of getting HPV.
