All who are convinced that tea works best for their increased blood pressure, are in error – a piece of chocolate is far more effective, say German scientists. Any food rich in cocoa reduces blood as much as a cup of green or black tea could not show it in the publication of his study in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine. Its results show that cocoa reduces the risk of heart attack and other cardiovascular problems by 10-20%. And cocoa and tea contain polyphenols – chemical class of substances known to favorably affect the cardiovascular system. However, polyphenols in cocoa are of a different type – pro-cyanids that are more efficient. Polyphenols contained in fruits and vegetables. So now the most popular recommendation for people with cardiovascular problems is to use larger quantities through them.

This grim myth is simply one of the most common misconceptions among Cancer. There are tumors in which no platinum therapy is generally ineffective and there is no reason to apply chemotherapy. This applies to cancer of the ovary, bladder and lungs. Only when pronounced as renal pathology underlying condition for the treatment of tumors not use platinum, although in this case, the benefit of therapy is considerably less. Another issue is that in breast cancer, for example, platinum preparations only be used if the tumor does not respond to standard chemotherapy regimens. But to believe that there is a strong preparation of platinum and that this medicine all treatment options have been exhausted, we should not. Platinum is effective in some tumors, but in others it is quite useless. And there are hormone-dependent tumors such as breast cancer, especially in the elderly, cancer of the uterus, prostate gland, which in any case miotherapy is more effective than hormone therapy. It applies only in cases where the tumor is not susceptible to treatment with hormones. Moreover! There are more than ten different theories about the occurrence of oncological diseases. All of these hypotheses are, however, are not proven and does not help to prevent this disease. Prevention of cancer does not exist. So did many charlatans lately pile of money as promised “cure” for cancer, what is most worrying in this case is that people who have access to oncological dispensaries to physicians who may help them, especially if their disease is in its infancy, trust other healer.

Diabetes is a condition that is usually characterized by an elevated level of sugar (glucose) in blood. One problem is that glucose can interact through the biochemical process (glycation) to tissues in the body, which can damage tissues and lead to complications. Namely glycation is a major cause of the problems associated with diabetes, including nerve damage, loss of eyesight or heart disease. A new study by researchers from the University of Essex in Colchester, United Kingdom shows that there is another potential mechanism that causes complications in diabetes. The results, published in the journal Diabetes showed that patients with diabetes is very characteristic deficiency of vitamin B1 (thiamine). In patients with diabetes by type of first and second levels of vitamin B1 in the blood is reduced by 3 / 4. Low levels of vitamin B1 can be explained by an increase in its loss through the kidneys. Deficiency causes deterioration of appetite, fatigue, muscle aches, paralysis of the arm or leg, difficulty walking, heart failure. Many of these problems are well known complications of diabetes.

The World Medicine is looking for hard money against various diseases. Medics try to save humanity from the rapidly spreading diseases that lead to general ill-health and fatal end. Among these ranks and hypertension, which in recent years, considerably younger. Increasingly becoming victims of hypertension in people 20-30 years. Cardiologists disease called “bomb with delayed action and efforts of many physicians and researchers have focused on identifying ways to combat it. Norwegian fisheries scientists from the Scientific College believe that marine products and first shrimp are a powerful weapon in the fight against this disease. In the so-called. seafood, especially in the heads of shrimp contains a large amount of phosphorus, iodine, iron and calcium, which increases the body’s immunity, in their shell is open much Chitin, which prevents clogging of the vessels. Shrimp contain much protein, which is able to reduce blood pressure, say researchers quoted by the BBC, after conducting their research. In the fight against hypertension also help fruit and vegetables, especially patladzhanat, which is rich in potassium, and grapefruit, which also contains large amounts of potassium and fiber. Must not be forgotten and the main source of calcium – milk, which also protects from stroke and osteoporosis. A mango is rich in potassium, carotene (vitamin A) and cellulose.

Today almost everyone in the change of time complained of headaches, reduction of working capacity, fatigue. Can we ease the lives of people with greater sensitivity to weather conditions? Of course, that modern life is filled with stress and this affects the lowering of immunity. In such conditions even the smallest change over time can negatively affect health. And if the years before the approaching cyclone is felt only by the elderly and sick people today feel uncomfortable and completely healthy. This concerns especially urban residents, which in comparison with those in the countryside are significantly more sensitive to the vagaries of the weather – at least it make the statistics show. The human body is a kind of barometer. With the changes in the external field (sudden changes in pressure or magnetic storms) and immediately began the internal changes in the body. Scientists explain that the changes affect all organs in the body. Adapts to changed conditions, it begins to readjusts and consequently change the tone of blood vessels that are trying to preserve the previous blood pressure level. According to the data during magnetic storms, the number of heart attack and stroke doubles. On days with low atmospheric pressure hipotonits blood pressure is lowered further, which causes bouts of fatigue, sleepiness and angriness. Hypertensive patients suffer from increased humidity and the approaching front with high atmospheric pressure. Suffering from vascular dystonia also painfully react to any changes in time.

The modern diet (a predominance of greenhouse vegetables and fruits known. Fast food, etc.) we can not provide the necessary vitamins and minerals. First suffer from this deficiency, of course, children. Experts believe that malnutrition may even cause changes in the genetic program for growth and development of the child.

They protect the body from an early age from the effects of stress, the impact of eco-patological factors and infections contribute to the absorption of new knowledge and thus to some extent determine the possibilities of knowledge.
