It is clear that alcohol consumption can turn a gentleman into a rude beast. For the first time, a new research study published in The Journal of Neuroscience explains why. Social drinkers intoxicated with alcohol have lowered sensitivity in brain nuclei controlling threat detection, while displaying higher activity in brain nuclei connected to reward.
“The key finding of this study is that after alcohol exposure, threat-detecting brain circuits can’t tell the difference between a threatening and non-threatening social stimulus. At one end of the spectrum, less anxiety might enable us to approach a new person at a party. But at the other end of the spectrum, we may fail to avoid an argument or a fight”, said Dr. Marina Wolf, at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. Read More »

Top 7 Food Dangers Stalking The Vegetarians

You are an animal lover, and you have decided not to eat anything coming from an animal. But with the meat and animal products out, you’re going to miss many minerals, vitamins and nutrients.
Watch out to this:
1. Proteins are the “bricks” of the organism, and must contain all the essential aminoacids, in precise proportions. Only proteins from eggs, meat, fish and dairy products are complete, that’s why plant proteins must be supplemented by animal proteins coming from dairy products or eggs twice a day, especially in the case of children. Calcium absorption is eased by the consumption of skimmed or low fat milk. Read More »

The exam sessions mean mental and physical exhaustion. But there are some mental vitalizers helping you finish the course without problems or stress. After various hours of studying, the eyes get tired too. Tired eyes can be relieved by washing the area with fresh water, which gives a refreshing and relaxing sensation. When tired eyes are accompanied by an itchy sensation, a couple of cotton patches soaked in Eufrasia can be applied on the eyelids.
1.Lecithin is a natural complex of phospholipids encountered naturally in soy beans and also in many structures of our body, like the membranes of the brain cells. The main ingredient in soy lecithin is phosphatidyl choline, which increases the amount of choline in the body, a chemical employed by the brain as precursor of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that boosts memory capacity, intellectual skills and focusing. There are special types of lecithin rich in phosphatidyl cholines on the market. Read More »

Listen, guys, now we know why Pamela Anderson made her transplants: to make us healthier. “Angels of mercy” like Jordan just prolong our life and Hugh Hefner knows it.
A German research published in New England Journal of Medicine said that men staring at women’s breasts in fact prolong their lives with years.
“Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female such as Baywatch actress Pamela Lee is equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out,” said author Dr. Karen Weatherby, a gerontologist.
The team led by Weatherby was made up of researchers at three hospitals in Frankfurt, Germany, and found this results after monitoring for 5 years the health of 200 male subjects, half of whom were asked to look at busty females daily, while the other half had to abstain from doing so. Read More »
Top 6 Health Benefits Delivered by the Lymphatic Massage

The lymphatic massage is a delicate, light form favoring the lymph flow. It is based on light, rhythmic and constant movements, only touching the skin, with an almost non-perceptible pressure. Being so fine, the patient may perceive it as useless, but after two-three sessions, its benefits can be seen. A lymph massage session lasts at least for one hour.
Unlike the blood, the lymph is not pumped by the heart, moving slowly due to stimulation from the muscles’ contractions. The lymph is a whitish liquid flowing throughout our body inside lymph vessels, collecting wastes and toxins that cannot be absorbed through the blood capillary vessels. Read More »
Less Sugar Prolongs a Man’s Sex Life

No sex, alcohol and other risk factors have been proven to cause a rapid development in prostate cancer, the ultimate blow that can ‘ruin’ a man’s sex life. Too few recover after surgery without remaining impotent. Now, a research led at Duke Prostate Center and published in the online journal Prostate shows that being a sweet tooth also harms the prostate. Tests made on lab mice underline that a decrease in insulin levels triggered by less sugars in the diet could stop tumor growth.
“This study showed that cutting carbohydrates may slow tumor growth, at least in mice. If this is ultimately confirmed in human clinical trials, it has huge implications for prostate cancer therapy through something that all of us can control, our diets”, said lead researcher Dr. Stephen Freedland, an urologist at Duke University Medical Center.

Too Much Sugar Kills Your Sex Life

Could you imagine your life without pumping every day countless amounts of sugar in your body? If not, you should at least know that it can affect your sexuality: high levels of fructose and glucose entering your blood can deactivate the gene controlling the amounts of sex hormones in both men and women, as revealed by a Canadian research published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
The research made on mice and human cell cultures warns that we should replace simple sugars (like table sugar, glucose and fructose) with complex ones, like starches. Table sugar is a dimer made of glucose and fructose (and as glucose and fructose it enters the blood), while fructose abounds in sweetened beverages, syrups, and many other products. In North America, the annual average intake per person is of 33 kg (74 pounds) of table sugar and 20 kg (45 pounds) of fructose corn syrup. Read More »
Sleep Loss Turns You Insane

No sleep is really bad for your body, the effects ranging from lowered immune system (meaning vulnerability to infections) to memory and cognitive impairment and weight gain.
“Almost all psychiatric disorders show some problems with sleep. But scientists previously believed the psychiatric problems triggered the sleep issues.” said psychologist Matthew Walker of the University of California, Berkeley. His team, collaborating with a Harvard Medical School team, has now found the opposite: sleep loss can induce psychologicalimpairments.
26 healthy subjects aged 24 to 31 were investigated after either an all-nighter or a full night’s sleep. Read More »
Why Does Gold Heal?
Posted by Jason on
October 24, 2007
Gold can heal, only that you must know how to handle it. Physicians first used injections of gold salts in the early 1900s, as they were used to relieve arthritis causing pain and swelling. But this came with severe side effects: besides taking effect months later, the gold shot provoked rashes, mouth sores, kidney damage and sometimes impaired bone marrow’s function of delivering new blood cells.
Drugs like methotrexate and others were preferred instead of gold salts, which are now prescribed as the last resort.
“We shouldn’t dismiss gold salts so quickly. We scientists have really never understood why gold works. Now that we have a better handle on its action, we may be able to use that mechanism to create new and better gold-like drugs to treat arthritis.” said senior author Dr. David Pisetsky, chief of the division of rheumatology and immunology in the department of medicine at Duke.
