Know Ash jam Prevent Aging

Waste out of this so far is only used as animal feed or even discarded and pollute rivers. Thanks to the creativity of students at the University of Gadjah Mada, the waste out now can be processed into jam is delicious and healthy, named A Soy. Five students from the Student Entrepreneurship Program Kreatifivitas (PKM-K) managed to take advantage of a peanut dregs out of high nutritional value. One student said Ahmad Muhaimin Alfarisy, peanut dregs out of this development came from his experience while in high school selling soy milk. At that time he saw the waste of soy milk, soy pulp is widely used and wasted, as well as the dregs out. "During this time, know only the dregs are used as animal feed and even thrown away, but its nutrient content is high enough," he said Wednesday (5/16/2012) at UGM. According Alfarisy, grounds out to have high fiber content, so good for digestion. In addition, the compounds contained in soy isoflavones also good to prevent premature aging. "Butter dregs know we made a high fiber content is 8 percent higher than jams sold in the market that contain fiber only about 6 percent," said Alfarisy promotion. Making jam is also fairly easy. First, the dregs out of fresh steamed for 1 hour in order to know the grounds can be more durable. Then, amapas is mixed with fruits that have been blended and granulated sugar, cloves and cinnamon. Furthermore all the ingredients that are mixed cooked and simmer until thickened. "To know and fruit composition of fruit pulp is 1:2. All flavors are sold is a blend of real fruit with the pulp out so it can certainly contain a high nutrient, dense fiber, and vitamins primarily derived from fruits, combined" he said. Currently jam named A Soy dregs know i sold in the form of toast with offers four flavors that taste the apple, guava, banana, and chocolate milk. In the near future, will be A Soy products with new flavors such as blueberry, mocha, soursop, and some sense of olainnya. In addition marketed in the form of toast, we will also release A Soy butter in a cup size of 200 grams. Per cup priced at Rp 6,500.

Three Cups Coffee Day Extend Age?

This is good news for you who like to drink coffee. One study indicates that adults who consume three or more cups of coffee a day tend to live longer. In fact, the risk of dying from the most common causes decreased by 10 percent than those who drank no coffee. This is a large-scale research conducted by experts from the U.S. National Cancer Institute, which involved nearly 400,000 people. This finding applies to those aged 50-71 years both drinkers of caffeinated coffee or decaffeinated.

Research shows that coffee drinking was associated with a decreased risk of death from heart disease, respiratory disease, stroke, diabetes, infections, and injuries and accidents. However, researchers stress, contribute to improving the health of coffee consumption remains unclear. These findings do not establish causality. "I think these findings are really important to point out that our study is an observational study. That is, we only ask how much they drank coffee and then watching them," said lead researcher Neal Freedman, of the U.S. National Cancer Institute in Rockville, Md.. Freedman revealed that coffee drinkers tend to smoke more generally - is the leading cause of death. "We found that coffee drinkers tend to face a higher risk of death. But when we do not connect it with cigarettes, we found an inverse relationship." he said. The study was published on May 17, 2012 in the New England Journal of Medicine. For this study, the researchers focused on the eating habits of 400,000 men and women involved in the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study between 1995 and 1996. None of the participants had a history of cancer, stroke or heart disease. Each participant was asked about their coffee consumption, ranging from zero to six cups a day or more. The health condition of participants tracked since 2008 or until death. The results showed that drinking even one cup of coffee a day was associated a lower risk of death. But uniquely, drinking coffee is not associated with a decreased risk of cancer death in women, and only have a protective effect in men only. The protective effect appeared greater among those who drank more than one cup a day. Even so, Freedman noted, few benefits were seen in those who drank two cups a day and six cups a day. "Going forward, we need to really look at the different components in coffee. In addition to caffeine, coffee contains about 1,000 other compounds and antioxidants, some of which may be beneficial and some not," said Freedman. Freedman added, and the way of presenting a good selection of coffee types also need to be explored further. "We do not know if this also affects the progression of the disease," he explained. Freedman recommends, everyone should consult a doctor before starting to drink more coffee. The reason, personal health history can affect how much the amount of coffee consumption are allowed to receive.

Excess Sugar Consumption Can Damage Brain

This is one reason why you should limit your intake of sugars. A latest research scientists in the United States indicated that eating too much sugar can undermine the ability of the brain. This conclusion was made after researchers at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) conducted laboratory tests on rats fed a diet high in fructose corn syrup for six weeks. In his analysis researchers divided the mice into two groups. One group of mice were given supplements of the brain that is enriched in omega-3 fatty acids in flaxseed oil and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), while the other group did not. Before it was given a drink of sugar, the mice were trained for five days to complete the puzzle game (maze), a game to figure it out. After six weeks given a sugary drink, the mice were again asked to play maze, to see how far they are able to solve it. "The decline in brain function in animals fed omega 3 and DHA tend to be slow, even though their brains showed a decrease in synaptic activity," said Fernando Gomez-Pinilla, a neurosurgery professor of the David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA. "These cells have difficulty rat brain signals to each other, disrupting the ability of rats to thinking and hard to remember the route after being given a diet high in sugar," he explained. Researchers also found that the brains of mice not given DHA supplements intake are likely to develop signs of resistance to insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar and regulate brain function. "Because insulin can penetrate the blood brain barrier, neuronal signaling hormones may trigger reactions that interfere with learning and cause memory loss," said Gomez-Pinilla, published in the Journal of Physiology. In other words, eating too much fructose can interfere with insulin to regulate sugar, which is required to process thoughts and emotions. "Insulin is important in the body to control blood sugar, but may play different roles in the brain, where insulin appears to interfere with memory and learning," said Gomez-Pinilla "Our study shows that high-fructose diet damage the brain and body. This is something new," he said. Although the study did not say whether the high levels of fructose consumption rate would have similar effects in humans, but researchers emphasize that these findings provide some evidence that the metabolic syndrome can affect the mind and body. "Our findings illustrate that what you eat affects how you think," said Gomez-Pinilla. "A diet high in fructose in the long run you can change the brain's ability to learn and remember information. But by adding omega-3 fatty acids may help minimize the damage," he said.

Breakfast Eggs Could Delay Hunger

Started the morning by eating eggs may be an option for those who want to keep feeling full longer. The protein in eggs is known to make a full stomach than the protein in wheat. Large egg has about 70 calories and contains about 6 grams protein, 5 grams fat and 186 milligrams of cholesterol. Diet with high quality protein can enhance satiety, leading to better compliance and diet weight loss success, "said researcher Nikhil Dhurandhar, PhD, a professor in the department of infection and obesity, Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La. In her study, Dhurandhar involving 20 people with overweight or obese. Then the participants were divided into two groups, one group was given a breakfast containing eggs and other cereals are given for one week. Although eggs and cereals contain different proteins, yet in terms of calories, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are the same. Unfortunately no mention of how the eggs are processed, how many, or whether there are other foods that also included breakfast. On the first day and last week testing period, each participant was given lunch. Researchers also measured how hunger or fullness before and after breakfast and lunch, by recording how many calories are consumed at meals. Researchers took blood samples to determine levels of ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates hunger, and PYY3-36, a hormone that signals satiety. The researchers found that people who ate eggs in the morning to feel more full before lunch and they also eat less food than participants who ate the cereal. Participants who consumed eggs also had lower ghrelin levels and a higher number of PYY3-36 for three hours between breakfast and lunch. To find long-term effects of the habit of having breakfast with eggs to weight loss it needs to be studied further. But at least the eggs can be a healthy breakfast alternative for those who want a practical and healthy breakfast.

Low-Fat Milk Help Prevent Stroke

Low-fat milk (low fat) is an option many people, especially those on a diet because it can reduce the fat in the body. However, a recent study found other benefits of low-fat milk in particular reduce the risk of stroke. In his study, scientists from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden involving almost 75 000 Swedish men and women who participated in the study. All participants have a good health condition when the study began in 1997. Then, the researchers asked the participants to fill out as much as 96-item food questionnaire. During follow-up less than 10 years, researchers found that there are about 4,000 cases of stroke occurring. The researchers found that those who regularly drink low-fat dairy products 12 percent lower risk of stroke than their counterparts who ate high-fat products. "This is the largest study examining the relationship between total consumption of low fat dairy products (low fat), high fat milk (full fat) on the risk of stroke in men and women," said Dr. Susanna Larsson, associate professor of epidemiology at the Division of Nutritional Epidemiology , Karolinska Institute, Stockholm and sekaliguas leader of the study. "If someone is eating more low-fat milk instead of milk high in fat, they will benefit one of them a reduced risk of stroke and other health benefits," he added. Data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States shows, every four minutes someone dies of a stroke, and every 40 seconds there was one new case of stroke in the U.S.. Each year, approximately 795 000 people in the United States suffer strokes and 610 000 of whom were new stroke patients. While in Indonesia, the conditions are not much different. Stroke remains one of the biggest causes of death and the biggest cause of disability.

Many pregnant women fear Sports

Although exercise during pregnancy has been shown to provide health benefits, but there are still many pregnant women are afraid to do so. They assume, exercise during pregnancy would pose a risk to harm the fetus. "Although we've said this repeatedly over the last 10 years, pregnant women are still afraid to do so, for fear of hurting their child," said the researcher, Melissa J. Hague, MD, an assistant clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Wichita. In research involving about 90 pregnant women, Hague revealed that many women who stop physical activity after pregnancy. Some of them claim to have never thought of doing exercises, even for a very safe activity such as walking. "I was very surprised," said Hague who published his findings this week at the annual meeting of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) in San Diego. In 2002, ACOG issued recommendations on exercise during pregnancy. According to them, pregnant women without complications during pregnancy can still be active with doctor's approval. Pregnant women also need to modify their practice as a medical indication. Even so, women who had a habit of inactivity should consult with your doctor first before starting an exercise program. According to experts, the level of moderate exercise for 30 minutes or more, every day for a week is safe for pregnant women without complications. Activities that have a high risk for falls, contact sports, and diving is not recommended. Details of the study In his study, Hague and colleagues conducted telephone interviews with 90 women. The participants were known to have a gestational age of 16 to 30 weeks. Before pregnancy, nearly half of women admitted accustomed to exercise moderately at least 90 minutes every week. Once pregnant, less than 27 percent of those who still do physical activity. "They say that they fear will hurt the baby," said Hague. Hague in his analysis found that about 62 percent of those who exercise during pregnancy is thought that the sport is more than 30 minutes is safe. Only 18 percent of those who do not think so. Hague also found no difference in attitude or views on any relevant ethnic influences exercise during pregnancy. Nearly 89 percent of white women said the exercise is brisk walking exercise is safe during pregnancy, and 90 percent said that swimming is safe. Meanwhile, only 60 percent of other ethnic groups who think that exercise is brisk walking is safe, and only 67 percent who think swimming is safe for pregnant women. According to the Hague, the myth is derived in the family may trigger fears of women to exercise while pregnant. "If the mother told them, 'You'll hurt the baby,' they will not do," he said. Certain women are more likely to exercise during pregnancy, including those who believe that they can manage it despite a busy schedule. Those who work outside the home are more likely to perform Fisk activity during pregnancy. Hague says, women should focus on the benefits of exercise during pregnancy. "We know that exercise has significant benefits for women, including reducing the risk of depression and the risk of excess weight gain," he said. "Minimizing the excess weight gain may reduce the risk of Caesarean," he concluded. Raul Artal, MD, chairman and professor of obstetrics, gynecology, and women's health at St. Louis University School of Medicine, and experts say exercise during pregnancy, "is a good time to engage in healthy lifestyle including exercise, with the exception of certain sports such as scuba diving (diving), which may put the fetus at risk for decompression sickness. " "For pregnant women who have never done physical activity, leisurely walking is a good way to start," says Artal, of course after getting approval from your doctor.
