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

Breast Cancer earlier diagnosis facts and Myth

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. Mostly this is because many people only have little knowledge about the cancer. If you have had it before, you may be haunt by the thought of it comes back, or it may be life threatening.

Breastcancer.org explained that having this kind of fear doesn’t mean you definitely infected with cancer. If you have had it in the past, it doesn’t indicate that the cancer will return. Nonetheless, it is only normal to be caution and aware of this condition, considering the rise of breast cancer is all over the news recently.

Night Shift Women Face More Risk of Breast Cancer

Night Shift Women Face More Risk of Breast Cancer

Face More Risk of Breast Cancer

lian Monday, September 23, 2013 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.

“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.

“While it is relatively not been written in the mainstream media, Chaga mushroom has been used for folk medicine for generations. Research has shown Chaga is very effective in protecting cells from DNA -damaging free radicals, “said a spokesman for Vector.
