Over the past decade or so, the number of Americans purchasing online medications has rapidly increased. Millions of Americans lack health insurance with prescription drug coverage; they find that online medications are the only way they can afford to take prescribed medications. Other Americans are looking to buy medications proven safe, but not available for sale in the United States. Read the rest of this entry »

The foods are designed to not only nourishes, but also keep us healthy.

Hippocrates as father of medicine thousands of years ago argued that this phrase has come to this day intact, “Let your food be your medicine” and this is the basis of naturism.

A brief overview of nutrient composition or properties which relate to different parts of the body, beneficial and are therefore take into account in shaping our diet.

Brain: Research shows that the fuel of the brain are sugars because they can enhance memory and boost your performance, (no white sugar or refined, but those from natural sources).

Hair: Wheat is a great source of biotin and a nutrient important for healthy, shiny hair.

Eyes: The beta carotene or pro-vitamin A content in plants yellow, orange, red, nuts, fruits.

Lungs: The research shows that eating more tomatoes three times a week can help prevent respiratory disease. Chinese medicine since ginger has specific properties for them, as food medicine and other spices spicy characteristics.

Nails: Zinc is responsible for the strength of the nails, oysters, wheat germ, nuts, contain it.

Skin: Vitamin A, is vitamin skin in form of pro-vitamin, and can be found in pumpkins, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, peaches, apricots, algae and reduce the possibility of certain types of cancer and considered the vitamin’s natural defenses.

Heart: Magnesium is the mineral of the heart by promoting their functioning, which can be found in nuts such as almonds, oats, tofu, also has the ability to prevent blood clots and high blood pressure.

Stomach: Garlic may help prevent stomach cancer, according to experts.

Bone: Calcium, potassium and magnesium are the perfect combination to give strength to bones.

Legs: Bananas are loaded with potassium which encourages your muscles and also prevents cramps because of it content.

A glass of pomegranate juice every day may help men with recurrent prostate cancer live longer, as the sweet red juice protects healthy cells from damage, inhibits proliferation of cancer cells and even kills.

These were some of the findings of a study of the Jonsson Cancer Center at UCLA and published in Clinical Cancer Research.

It took 54 months to PSA (prostate specific antigen) tests to duplicate content levels in patients with recurrent prostate cancer who drank pomegranate juice after surgery or radiation treatment, researchers reported.

PSA is a protein marker for prostate cancer and the fastest increase levels of PSA in the blood of men after treatment are more likely to relapse with prostate cancer.

The antioxidant potential would be responsible, the research team, led by Allan Pantuck, an associate professor in the Department of Urology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, conducted additional experiments to examine the antioxidant properties of the juice pomegranate.

“The Pomegranate is high in antioxidants and there is evidence that inflammation plays an important role in prostate cancer, Pantuck said.

Like vitamin C and other antioxidants, ellagic acid is a major antioxidant in pomegranate juice, defends attacks by oxygen molecules that are added to cell groups, proteins and fats, thus altering their biological function.

Although results are encouraging, Dr. Pantuck stressed that more research is needed to confirm the biological role of the pomegranate in delaying or preventing recurrence of prostate cancer in men.

An underactive thyroid gland is one of the most discussed endocrine conditions in the U.S. and wanted to see if the thyroid can be the key to long life, at least for some people, according to researchers.

Dr. Martin Surks and his colleagues at Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York studied hundreds of people who had lived to 100 years and found evidence in people with low thyroid activity, those most likely to be in that group.

We used a national health survey to assess the average hormone levels in people of different ages.

The thyroid is located in the neck and is a kind of master gland, secretes hormones that affect metabolism and therefore has a relationship with obesity.

Doctors often monitor their activity as an indirect measure of levels of the hormone (TSH) or thyroid stimulating hormone.

Indicate that high levels of TSH is a condition known as hypothyroidism and low levels suggest that it is overactive, called hyperthyroidism.

People with low thyroid function can lose hair, gain weight and feel weak, while those with overactive thyroid can lose weight and feel a constant nervous state, but both can be easily treated with a daily pill.

Surks and his colleagues found that between 15 and 20 percent of people over 60 have TSH levels that suggest an underactive thyroid gland, which is believed to be normal in older people, as sign of longevity.

For now, we’ve all heard that diets high in fat are detrimental to our long-term health, but what about the short term?

A new animal study finds that 10 days after eating a high fat diet cause short term memory loss and difficulty exercising. While the finding may not seem a big surprise, the researchers say, that diets high in fat lead man to sloth and stupidity.

“Diets high in fat are typically associated with Western and defined long-term complications such as obesity, diabetes and heart failure, but in the short term consequences of these diets have not had much attention,” said Andrew Murray Study co-author at the University of Cambridge in the UK.

“We hope the findings of our study will help people to think seriously about reducing the fat content of your daily food intake for the immediate benefit in the overall health and alert.

Studies of laboratory animals resulted in an increase in protein levels of dissociation 3, which makes less efficient use of oxygen needed for energy functional.

“It’s nothing short period in which it manifests a hangover, a high fat intake,” said Dr. Gerald Weissmann, editor in chief of the magazine, if for example in “A long weekend eating sausages , fries and pizza, while providing a great pleasure for our palates, adversely affects the muscles and brain.
