Having Kids reduces Heart Disease in Woman

Posted by Shane On November - 30 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

If you are planning to have one kid in your family and are uninterested in larger family then this article might interest you.

A latest study has discovered that mothers with four or more children may have a reduced risk of heart disease. The study finds that the pregnancy hormones could protect blood vessels for years after giving birth and help reduce the risk of getting the disease.

Marieclaire reports Dr Bradley Van Voorhis, President of the Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility as saying, ‘The physiological changes a woman experiences in pregnancy can have lasting effects on her health’.

‘A large, relatively healthy and affluent group of women showed a cardiovascular benefit from more than four pregnancies.’

The study, involving 1,300 women in California, suggested that mothers with larger families were almost 50 per cent less like to die of a stroke and one third less likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease.

Get Ready for Extreme Climate change

Get ready for Extreme Weather across your cities, this is what the Climate Scientist are telling us.The scientist said to the top politicians, preparations will save lives and money otherwise weather extremes may overwhelm some locations, making some places uninhabitable.

The Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued a new special report on global warming and extreme weather after meeting in Kampala, Uganda. This is the first time the group of scientists has focused on the dangers of extreme weather events.

MSN reports, lead author, Maarten van Aalst, director of the International Red Cross/Red Crescent Climate Centre in the Netherlands, as saying: “We need to be worried.

“And our response needs to anticipate disasters and reduce risk before they happen rather than wait until after they happen and clean up afterward… risk has already increased dramatically.”

The report said “a changing climate leads to changes in the frequency, intensity, spatial extent, duration, and timing of extreme weather and climate events, and can result in unprecedented extreme weather and climate events” and that some of these extreme events are caused by the increase of man-made greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Fellow study lead author, Chris Field of Stanford University, said: “We face many challenges in the future; those include floods, drought, storms, and heatwaves.”

Mr Field said scientists are not quite sure which will be the biggest threat to the world because disasters are weather extremes interacting with economics and where people live and it’s clear that losses from disasters are increasing, and in terms of deaths more than 95% of fatalities from the 1970s to the present have been in developing countries.

The 29-page summary of the full special report, which will be completed in the coming months, said extremes in some unnamed regions at some point in the future could get so bad they may need to be abandoned.

Mr van Aalst added: “Such locations are likely to be in poorer countries but even in some developed northern regions of the world, such as Canada, Russia and Greenland, cities might need to move because of weather extremes and sea level rise from man-made warming.”

Eggs can help you stay awake at work!

Feeling sleepy at work? The recent research done on the common problem that a person undergoes on work might ignite you readers especially those who work in front of the computer all day in the office.

Scientist says, “the presence of abundance of proteins in the white layers of Egg might tremendously assist an individual from falling asleep in the work or from feeling sleepy.”

Wait a min, i thought Coffee helps us from falling to sleep. Alas, the scientist have other opinions.

The Researchers at Cambridge University have found that egg proteins are much more effective than carbohydrates found in the chocolates, biscuits and sweets often relied on for a quick energy boost.

The researchers, who wanted to know how nutrients affect the brain cells that keeping us awake and burn calories, found that a mixture similar to the protein content of egg whites activated these cells, triggering the release of the stimulant orexin, the Daily Mail reported.

Researcher Dr Denis Burdakov said, “What is exciting is to have a rational way to ‘tune’ select brain cells to be more or less active by deciding what food to eat.

“Research suggests that if you have a choice between jam on toast, or egg whites on toast, go for the latter. Even though the two may contain the same number of calories, having a bit of protein will tell the body to burn more calories out of those consumed.”

Researchers found that the type of cholesterol found in eggs has minimal effect on raising the risk of heart disease . Previous research has also shown that it is healthy to go to work on an egg, contrary to popular perception.

Smile to stay young

Posted by Shane On November - 12 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

Off were the days when people stayed healthier and younger with a small piece of smile in their face.

Technology advance paved the way for man to develop creams promising his woman that they will look young when the chemicals touch their face.

The promise to reduce the age did no good to the ladies who just could not find the solution for the age related problems. And not to mention the skin related problems that were produced from the implementation of the cream.

Here comes a research analyst who appreciates the concerns and tell us that , just smiling can reduce your age.

According to German researchers, the simple act of smiling takes years off a person’s age. It is likely we consider people who are happy as being attractive in other ways – including being younger than they actually are, Daily Mail reported.

Manuel Voelkle, of the Max Planck Institute in Berlin, asked over 150 men and women of different ages to judge the ages of the faces in more than 1,000 photographs.

He concluded: “Facial expressions have a substantial impact on accuracy.

“Relative to other facial expressions, the age of neutral faces was estimated most accurately, while the ages of those displaying happy expressions was most likely under-estimated.”

The study also revealed that the older faces are more difficult to judge than the younger ones.

What do you think? Will you opt for creams or  the natural remedy Smile? Share with us your views.

Working Moms Have Fat Kids

Posted by Shane On November - 7 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

Listen up, Working Mothers all over the globe. The health of your kids is at risk! While you work, your kids has high possibility of developing obesity with 6 times more likely than others

It is official that,  Moms who go for work and spend lot of time in office have risked the highest possibility of their kids developing  Obesity in the young age itself.

WTH! What has my work got to do with My Kid Obesity?

If you feel your working has nothing to do with your kid obesity. Then lets discuss the facts.

Naturally, kids depend on you [mothers] for their livelihood. Livelihood not only involves love and care but also good food and shelter.

It is found out via research that, “Kids whose Mother go to Work are 6 times more likely to be fatter than kids who have their mom to take care of“.

It is because, the working mom has less time to spend for her family and particularly young kids who need the care and love of mom the most.

By spending less time with her kids, the mom is risking the very fact of not knowing what their kids eat and when they sleep.

They pretend to know when their kid play , eat and sleep. But in reality they don’t know it and it is the fact!

The Kid not knowing what to eat, orders and eats junkies. Junkies include all fast food including Pizza, Burger, which has very high risk of developing Obesity.

Ok, I got the Point. They Eat Junkies so they have high obesity rate! But why blame it on me?

An Average woman would know what is best for her and her family.  Woman, in particular, are like doctors when it comes to their kids, they know and they judge between healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and junkies.

If they are with kids, they would have definitely made them a natural food and served them  a good healthy meal. But as they tend towards work, they become less bothered to know what their kids eat and this is where they go wrong.

Less Bothered? Holy cow, this is Harsh!!!

Yeah, it is harsh, but when a Mom prioritize other things than their life [Kids], then Less Bothered becomes a normal house word.

By opting for Work than Kids, the mom is also risking the fact of  losing the control and the family bond with her kid who might become a stranger as time goes on.

This is why nurturing a kid in a right direction is very important and only a Mother can do it.

To say it in a quote, “Working Woman make a very bad mother

When Christain the Lion met his old owners

Posted by Shane On November - 6 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

Was doing the old routine work in youtube, when i came across this unique video. A young Lion cub was adopted by John Rendall and Anthony “Ace” Bourke who actually bought the cub when it was on sale and gave it freedom from the cage life.

They renamed the lion as Christian. The duo and the Lion become very close with daily workouts and play. However, there was a time when they [John and Anthony] realized that their young Christian is growing up and need a bigger place to live.

They managed to train him to adopt the African jungle life and leaved the Lion back into the jungles of Africa.

However, when they both returned to see their friend Christian, guess what happened there!

I have uploaded the video when Christian and its owners met.

7 Billion People and Counting

Posted by Shane On October - 27 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

The World Population reaches 7 Billion People this week, according to the new UN reports.

Mankind, the word started with advent of two people Adam (Peace Be Upon Him) and Eve (Peace Be Upon Her) into the Earth, has been growing ever since the creation.

And now, we are 7 Billion in number alive today or May be more in this earth today.

Sounds very impressive.

However, there are false reports going all across the media that How much can this World support? In other words, How many can the Earth feed?

Through this Post, i will  give you my thoughts and the justification to it.

First of all, People who propagate that Mother Earth cannot feed too many are nothing but Liars!

Our Planet Earth has way more of Resources that God willing it can withhold even 20 billion people .

You may wonder, whats going on? If Earth has too much resources then why are 80% of the People in this Earth are in struggle with basic needs.

I did say Earth has much resources to feed all, and am firm on it. However, the balance and the distribution of the Earth resource is unjust in today’s world.

A new study on The World Distribution of Household Wealth by the Helsinki-based World Institute for Development Economics Research of the United Nations University was launched earlier this week. The study shows the richest 2% of adults in the world own more than half of global household wealth.

The most comprehensive study of personal wealth ever undertaken also reports that the richest 1% of adults alone owned 40% of global assets in the year 2000, and that the richest 10% of adults accounted for 85% of the world total. In contrast, the bottom half of the world adult population owned barely 1% of global wealth. The research finds that assets of US$2,200 per adult placed a household in the top half of the world wealth distribution in the year 2000. To be among the richest 10% of adults in the world required US$61,000 in assets, and more than US$500,000 was needed to belong to the richest 1%, a group which — with 37 million members worldwide — is far from an exclusive club.

I guess the above statement tells you the difference on How unfairly the world wealth is distributed.

I am linking to a website where i found an line by line report on the matters of Poverty, Shelter, Infants Death, World Population, Rich People dominance.

This article has some exciting statistics. Click Here to read it

Now that you know about how the Rich take the World entire resources and push the Common man into poverty, if someone ask you Can the world support 7 Billion people?

Tell them, yes it will, but it is hard to contain the 1% rich people who are growing greedier every day! And thats a fact!
