Side effects of vitamins

Supplementary vitamins may increase the risk of cancer, new research has claimed.

Scientists at the University of Colorado studied several trials, involving thousands of patients, over the past decade and found that those imbibing over-the-counter vitamins were more – not less – likely to have health problems.

The findings, presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) over the weekend, were surprising admitted the center's associate director.

“We found that the supplements were actually not beneficial for their health. In fact, some people actually got more cancer while on the vitamins,” Tim Byers, associate director for cancer prevention and control at the CU Cancer Center, said.

Interest in the supplements started roughly twenty years ago, when scientists noticed a correlation between those who at more fruit and vegetable and those who had less cancer.

The present research hoped to establish if vitamins could have a similar effect.

Although initial tests on animals were promising, Mr Byers said that when the trials examine human participants the results were very different.

“We are not sure why this is happening at the molecular level but evidence shows that people who take more dietary supplements than needed tend to have a higher risk of developing cancer,” he said.

Some people addicted to vitamins and they waste much more money on it other than fruits and vegetables. they spend highly for those vitamins and get effected by it. Eating more healthy fruits and vegetables is better that get expensive vitamins and There are no any side effects from fruits and vegetables. So, you better throw out all your vitamins and start eat healthy today onward.!

10 Surprising Health Benefits Of Whiskey

Whether it’s Jack Daniel’s, Jim Beam, or Fireball, everybody is bound to have one kind of whiskey they like more than they admit. In fact, with the demand for whiskey far outpacing its supply in recent years, it’s becoming more and more common to see people enjoying a glass of their favorite brand while out at bars or after a long day at work.

There are always the critics, of course: People who claim that whiskey is an old man’s drink and continually insist that it “tastes terrible.” But what if I told you that you don’t have to feel bad about enjoying that double shot, because you can tell those naysayers that whiskey good for your health? Well, according to sites like Organic Facts and Food to Fitness, you can do just that!  It turns out that drinking a little bit of whiskey (in moderation, of course) can indeed benefit your health, and here’s how!

1. It helps you avoid weight gain

Compared to a lot of mixed drinks and beers out there, whiskey is a low-calorie, low-sugar alcohol, so you can enjoy it without having to later worry about running off that dreaded beer gut.

2. It promotes heart health

Along with dark beers and wine, whiskey is one of the only other drinks that can claim the benefit of being heart healthy. The antioxidants that are in whiskey can help reduce your risk of a heart attack by lowering bad cholesterol, and even boosting your good cholesterol.

3. It helps fight cancer

Whiskey is said to be rich in antioxidants, particularly one called ellagic acid. This chemical is known to help prevent your body’s DNA from coming into contact with carcinogens. It’s also known to help protect your body from the effects of chemotherapy.

4. It improves your brain health

Studies have shown that drinking a small to moderate amount of whiskey may reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia (though heavy drinking may increase the risk, so if you plan on testing this method on yourself, make sure you don’t over-do it!).

5. It reduces your risk of stroke

Because whiskey prevents cholesterol build up and also helps to reduce your bad cholesterol, it lowers your risk of stroke as well. It also helps relax the walls of the arteries and promotes blood flow. Now what’s not to love about that?

6. It helps reduce stress

Besides it’s negative impact on your mental health, stress will run your body ragged and is linked to numerous health risks. As many fans of whiskey are sure to testify, a stiff drink may be just what you need to calm your nerves and relieve that stress. And because it helps you with circulation, whiskey can help you feel like a new person after a rough day.

7. It boosts your memory

The same health benefits that help with the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease also boost your memory. Whiskey improves your circulation, making sure your brain gets plenty of blood and stays in tip-top shape!

8. It helps with digestion

Did you know whiskey has long been used as a digestion aid? It can help curb your appetite after a meal, preventing you from overeating and helping you avoid stomach aches or indigestion.

9. It lengthens your lifespan

Because whiskey is chock-full of antioxidants and nutrients, it can help your immune system and prevent your body from contracting diseases. It can also help prevent the slow breakdown of important cells in your body, thus lengthening your lifespan!

10. It’s safe for diabetics

Since whiskey is a low-sugar and low-carb alcohol, it’s the perfect drink if you suffer from diabetes. You can enjoy a good drink and not have to worry about what it may do to your blood sugar. And that is something that we can all drink to!

• Well I have to say that without determination you're not going anywhere. Determination is the gasoline of life. People who are naturally determined usually follow and achieve all of their goaIs always said there are two types of people in life: those who say they will and those who do without saying.

 I feel we are all born with certain abilities in life, some of us have strong abilities in some fields, and some have strong abilities in others. No one is born perfect and no one is better than anyone else. We all have our own special gifts and these are what make us special. I feel that I was born with the gift of determination and confidence.
I feel that nothing can stop a person from doing something except that person alone. I, myself, have always been determined and goal-oriented. I feel that life without a goal or mission is no life at all. Getting back to what I said earlier, we have to stop and smell the roses in life otherwise what was the purpose to begin with?

How Women's Fitness Differs From Men's ?

Women can be just as fit as men, but that level of "fitness" will never quite be the same. Women's bodies are different from men's. Not only do men and women have different levels of hormones, but the amount of fat and muscle in their bodies is very different as well. Your goal should be to work out for you, according to your gender, body mass and target goals!

Where Men and Women Differ

It's not just the sex organs that are different among men and women, but there are a few marked differences:

• Testosterone -- Men have higher levels of testosterone than women, and women have higher levels of estrogen than men. Testosterone is the hormone that helps the human body to pack on muscle, while estrogen leads to the growth of fat cells, along with all of the other markers of female sexuality. Women have a harder time packing on the muscle due to higher levels of estrogen and lower levels of testosterone.

• Weight Loss -- What is the most effective way to burn fat and lose weight? Build muscle! The more muscle you have on your body, the more calories you will burn every day and the faster your metabolism will run. Seeing as men have an easier time building larger, more active muscle, it stands to reason that men will have an easier time losing weight as well. The same quality and amount of workout will often yield better results in men than in women.

• Flexibility -- This is one area where women always take the cake. Women arenaturally more flexible than men, as their bones are shorter and have less pronounced corners. The female body tends to be more rounded, and the bones around the pelvis are more flexible than men's pelvic bones.
  

• Muscle Mass -- Men naturally pack on more muscle mass than women, due simply to their higher testosterone levels. If you measured the body mass index of the average man against an average woman of the same weight, the man will usually have a lower body mass index (indicating greater muscle mass).

• Body Mass Index -- The body mass index determines the ratio of fat to total body weight. Women tend to have a higher body mass index (meaning more fat), but a "healthy" BMI for women is about 5% higher than for men. This is because the fat on a woman's body is important for healthy reproductive function.

What does this mean?

Basically, it means that men have a slightly easier time getting in shape than women do. Men can build muscle more easily, which will in turn help them to lose weight and get in shape. Men also have more strength than women, and they can handle heavier loads more quickly.

That doesn't mean that women can't get in shape as well. It just means that they need to find a workout program that plays to their strengths, and they shouldn't try to compete with their fellow man. If you're not seeing the same amounts of gain as your boyfriend/husband/male friend, don't worry about it! Your bodies are designed differently, and what is "fit" to you is not the same as his definition of "fitness". 

When it comes to working out, men and women are from different planets

His idea of getting in shape is pumping iron -- the more, the better. She'd rather pull out the yoga mat.

Whose idea of fitness is better?

The experts say there's no one-size-fits-all answer, but each sex could learn something from the other.

Often, "men work out because they like to be bigger," says Vincent Perez, PT, director of sports therapy at Columbia University Medical Center Eastside in New York. "Pecs,biceps, quads ? men are after bulk."

• "Guys have an agenda," adds Pamela Peeke, MD, author of Body-for-LIFE for Women: A Woman's Plan for Physical and Mental Transformation. "They have a specific goal, and there's always a number involved." She calls this the "Home Depot" approach to working out: "They have a blueprint and they just want to get it done."
• For many men, "working out is a sport, and they do it because it's fun, it's competitive, and it's something that they've always done," says Lori Incledon, author of Strength Training for Women. "For women, fitness is a superficial issue. They do it because it will help them look better."

Men like to look like they've been working out, says Peeke, "the sweatier the better. When was the last time you heard a woman say she wanted to sweat?"

Often, she says, "women think everyone else is looking at them so they're afraid to put on workout clothes or get out there in public with their cellulite jiggling. Do men care what they look like when they're working out? Of course not!"

health benefits of drinking water

                          health benefits of drinking water

Water is the main component of the human body. In fact, the body is composed of between 55 and 78 percent water, depending on body size. Adequate and regular water consumption has numerous health benefits. As an added plus, it has no calories, fat, carbohydrates or sugar.

            The amount of water you consume everyday plays an important role in maintaining a healthy body. Experts recommend drinking eight to 10 glasses of water each day to maintain good health. Water helps keep the body well hydrated, which is essential because almost every cell in the body needs water to function properly.

1. Relieves Fatigue

If you often feel tired, there is a high chance that it could be due to inadequate consumption of water which makes the body function less efficiently. In fact, fatigue is one of the first signs of dehydration.

When there is less water in the body, there is a drop of blood volume which causes the heart to work harder to pump oxygenated blood out in the bloodstream, and other major organs also work less efficiently. Thus, drinking adequate water can help your body function better and reduce fatigue.

2. Improves Mood

Research indicates that mild dehydration (even one or two percent lower hydration level of hydration than optimal) can negatively affect your mood and ability to think.

A small study conducted on 25 women and published in the Journal of Nutrition found that being dehydrated can take a toll on your mood and cognitiive function. The color of your urine is a good indicator of your level of hydration. The lighter the color the better the level of hydration and vice versa.

3. Treats Headaches and Migraines

If you have a headache or migraine, the first thing that you can do to get some relief is drink plenty of water. Headaches and migraines are often caused by dehydration.

In a study published in the European Journal of Neurology, researchers found that increasing water intake helped reduce the total number of hours and intensity of headaches in the study participants.

4. Helps in Digestion and Constipation

Water also improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. This helps in digestion and prevents constipation. Inadequate water in the body often results in constipation as the colon pulls water from the stools to maintain hydration, thereby making them harder and difficult to pass.

Drinking sufficient water boosts your metabolism and helps the body properly break down food. This helps your digestive system work well and promotes regular bowel movements. Warm water, in particular, is good for digestive health.

5. Aids Weight Loss

In a clinical trial, scientists found that drinking two eight-ounce glasses of water prior to meals can help suppress appetite and hence support your weight loss efforts. When you drink water, it fills your stomach and reduces the tendency to eat more.

Plus, it helps increase the rate at which the body burns fat, and promotes the breakdown and elimination of fat cells.

Calorie-free water is also a great replacement for high-calorie drinks like alcohol, sugary fizzy drinks and sodas that often contribute to weight gain.

6. Flushes Out Toxins

Water is an excellent detoxifier as it helps flush out toxins from your body and get rid of waste primarily through sweat and urine.

It also promotes kidney function and reduces kidney stones by diluting the salts and minerals in urine that cause kidney stones.

Though you need to drink adequate amount of water throughout the day, experts warn against drinking too much water (although uncommon still, it is possible) as it may reduce your kidneys’ ability to filter out waste.

Thus, it is recommended to drink the amount of water your body requires. As the amount of water required by the body tends to differ from one person to another, it is usually suggested to drink to your thirst, and also include other fluids and foods with high water content in your diet.

so, don't wait. go and drink some water.!
