Could an Aspirin a Day Keep Eye Disease Away?
|
|
|
|
For over 30 years, doctors have recommended that most of their patients take a low-dose aspirin a day to prevent the blood clots that can cause heart attacks. Now, at least for women, a study at Harvard Medical School suggests that taking an aspirin a day may protect sight, as well. Whether the benefits of taking an aspirin are worth the effort of remembering to take it, however, is another matter.

OVERWEIGHT CHILDREN - WHAT CAN BE DONE
|
|
|
|
An unhealthy diet combined with a lack of exercise are the main causes of childhood obesity. It’s fare to say though that not all obese infants become obese children, and not all obese children become obese adults, however, researches carried out by universities and scientists around the world have confirmed that there is a greater likelihood that obesity beginning even in early childhood will persist through adulthood. Children who are obese are at risk for a wide range of health problems such as type 2 diabetes and many have high cholesterol and blood pressure levels, which put them at greater risk for heart disease. Obesity is present when total body weight is more than 25 percent fat in boys and more than 32 percent fat in girls.

Benefits of exercise
|
|
|
|
If most people are honest, the benefits of exercise are not top of their thoughts during an average day. Also, whilst they know that exercise is good for them, thinking about the benefits of exercise on their general wellbeing has probably not been a consideration.
