Exercise helps prevent cancer

Exercise is also beneficial for the heart:

Regular physical activity can prevent the development of cancer or help sick people recover faster. That's true for diseases such as colon, breast, lung, and prostate gland.

Scientists at the University of Bristol (UK) conclusion after analyzing many studies related to exercise and cancer.

The results compiled from 15 studies of this type shows that regular physical activity reduces 40-50% risk of bowel cancer, 40% risk of lung cancer and 30% risk of breast cancer (this effect higher in postmenopausal women).

According to health experts, to achieve the above, you need physical activity of moderate intensity, about 30 minutes for at least 3 days of the week, and throughout life.

Examining 36 studies related to those who have been diagnosed with cancer showed that exercise improves quality of life in patients with leukemia, breast, colon, prostate.

Researcher Clare Stevinson, University of Bristol, said: "Treating cancer with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy cause many unwanted effect such as: fatigue, nausea, depression and anxiety. Exercise help balance the body, powerful muscles, patients can feel confident and spiritual improvement. "

So, what foods will help to quickly relieve stress and lift your mood?

Almond

It turns out crunchy almond nuts excellent anti-stress: they are rich in vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin E, magnesium and zinc. B vitamins and magnesium are involved in the production of serotonin - a hormone that helps control mood and reduce stress. Zinc also removes some of the negative effects of stress and Vitamin E - antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals - the main "culprits" of stress and heart disease. However, do not eat a lot of almonds at a time - he is very fat and calories. And although it is a useful unsaturated fat, it still turns into extra pounds. So be careful!

Fish

Most species of fish contain B vitamins, especially vitamins B6 and B12 - known "fighters with stress." Moreover, vitamin B12 - is one of the most important vitamins involved in the synthesis of the hormone of euphoria - serotonin. Vitamin B12 deficiency may even lead to depression! Do not be lazy, prepare the salad for breakfast or a sandwich with tuna. At dinner suit grilled salmon or mackerel with fresh green vegetables and rice.

Broccoli

Another product that is literally packed with vitamins in the above-mentioned groups. In addition, the broccoli is another weighty dignity - it contains folic acid, which also belongs to vitamin B group. Folic acid reduces stress, anxiety, relieves panic and save us from depression.

Broccoli is the perfect garnish for dishes of meat and poultry, it can be added to the stew along with other useful vegetables and beef or seafood.

Menthol cigarettes quickly addictive

The cooling flavor menthol cigarettes causes faster drug addiction. Doctors have found the body of smokers prefer menthol cigarettes with additives, and gets more nicotine and carbon monoxide.

Even if a person smokes fewer cigarettes per day, menthol contributes to the development thrust to "nicotine stick" because of what was expected of such a tobacco product is twice more difficult to refuse.

Because mentholated cigarettes are much harder to quit, and most quickly can become a chronic smoker. That menthol is not only enjoyable, refreshing and harmless ingredient in cigarettes: a substance masks the negative properties of nicotine and toxins, and develops a lethal addiction to tobacco products. Presumably, the "guilt" of menthol is in its aroma and taste.

Depression and smoking are related genetically:

Chromosome that carries the genes of depression, and were able to link depression to smoking. Analyzed 800 families from the United Kingdom, and the Americans have collected statistics for 91 Australian and 25 Finnish families. At least two close relatives of each family have suffered from periodic bouts of depression.

That depression in families, and attachment to nicotine is often go hand in hand. Smokers with this nervous disorder often try to quit, but they returned to smoking. That the third chromosome region, covering about 90 genes linked depression to smoking.

The plot of the chromosome known as the place of localization of glutamate receptor metabotropicheskogo. This type of membrane receptor, which in nerve cells react to the presence of the neurotransmitter glutamate in the synaptic cleft between neurons. It is believed that this receptor protein is involved in the formation of chronic depression.
