2012-01-18T17:36:00.000-08:00

Are you the type who have trouble sleeping at night without light? Better think again the habit. Sleeping in anything other than the condition of the room the room is really dark can trigger depression. At least it generated a research conclusions. Expert neurologist believes that the use of light is very dim even once - the type that often digunakn in the children's room - can give the opposite effect on the chemical balance and structure of the brain.

Such light in the evening according to the researchers to intervene or secretion of the hormone melatonin. Role of the hormone melatonin helps the body to recognize at night.

Team of researchers from Ohio State University in the U.S. comes to the conclusion after comparing the two groups Siberian hamsters. One group exposed to dim light at night. While other hamsters group enjoying total darkness each night.

A doctoral student who led the research, Tracy Bedrosian, said, "Even the dim light at night is enough to trigger a similar behavior in hamsters dipresi. It could menjelskan changes we saksiskan in their brains after eight weeks of being exposed to light every night." One of those behaviors, according to Tracy, ie the first group of hamsters consume less sugary water.

When they examined the brains of the hamsters exposed to dim light, researchers found the network was so dense in the dendritic fibers, part of the brain called Hipocampus. Dendritic-shaped hair-like fibers in the brain cells that function mehantarkan chemical messages from one cell to another.

Tracy, who presented research on Wednesday last week at the annual meeting of the American Neuroscience Society in San Diego said, "Hipocampus plays an important key to the syndrome of depression, so this discovery is very important." In previous studies, conducted in mice, it was concluded that animals exposed to bright light at night tend to become depressed and had passed all the weight was normal.

Your Healthy Fruit Juice?

2011-07-26T20:25:00.000-07:00

Already feel healthier because diligent drink fruit juice? Fruits are healthy foods that should diasup every day, but fruit juices usually contain added sugar that can make weight loss more stretchy. For that, you should get used to examine the list of nutrients contained in the package.

- Check the nutritional table. Whether it's 100 percent juice or juice concentrate. Some products also claim 100 percent juice, but still contain coloring agents and flavorings.

- Whether or not the fiber. Choose drinks that juice still contains the fruit flesh in it. Most products contain no fiber fruits.

- Check the sugar content. Fruit juices that contain high sugar consumption does not deserve more than once a day. It's wise if you have the juice packaging that contains the least sugar.

- Check the amount of vitamin C. Drinks containing vitamin C will enhance the body's immune system.

- Beware of color. Most colors have not bottled juice drinks from fresh fruit but are made from dyes.

Tired At Work, Short Sleep Solution

2011-07-20T23:35:00.000-07:00

Undeniable, almost everyone has been feeling tired at work. This situation is indeed very disturbing. So what should you do? The answer is napping (short bed).

"For people who work, this method is very advantageous. Napping will improve your fitness and alertness," says Dr. Kasyunnil Kamal, MS, SPOK of Master of Medical Work, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, on Tuesday (07/19/2011) in Jakarta.

According Kasyunnil, is napping is not fully asleep, but short sleep duration is only about 30 minutes.

Short sleep can help overcome the fatigue caused by loss of sleep due to the load and excessive working hours.

"People's normal working 8 hours. If the outside 8 hours of overtime automatically. If overtime is often the case, he should be able to get around by napping in order to stay fit while working," he said.

Kasyunnil said, in some countries, like Japan, napping has long been applied. In fact, nearly every office where nap rooms provide room for workers to be able to nap when it comes to fatigue.

According Kasyunnil, a person's level of alertness at night and noon to be low due to fatigue, so need to work around this by napping. At alertness begins to decline, that's someone's time to sleep.

"When fatigue that arises is different. Does he want to napping or not is up to concerned, but he should be able to measure themselves. At the moment we are fatigue, alertness will decrease. And that's where accidents frequently occur

Setting Diet Reduce ADHD Symptoms

2011-07-12T00:22:00.001-07:00

Dietary adjustments to avoid processed foods in children hyperactive or attention deficit hiperactive disorder (ADHD) for 5 weeks was able to reduce the symptoms of ADHD.

ADHD is characterized by the inability of a person to focus attention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. The cause could be genetic or brain injury. Usually children with ADHD can not sit still, keep moving, less memory, like interrupting and unfocused.

The parents long suspected sugary foods as the originator of symptoms of hyperactivity, but not much scientific evidence supporting the theory. However, a stronger conjecture is in food flavorings berpengawet and given a substance even though research has not been formally concluded.

Moreover, some children with ADHD immediate effect after eating these foods, among other symptoms of asthma, digestive disorders, and eczema. Berpengawet food flavorings and contains a substance that is also suspected to be influential in their brains that affect children's behavior.

To test this theory, the experts from Belgium and the Netherlands involving 100 children aged 4-8 years diagnosed with ADHD. The majority are boys.

The children were randomly divided into two groups. The first group was given a strict dietary adjustments while the other group as the control group only received healthy eating advice.

Children from the first group is only allowed to eat rice, meat, vegetables, avocado and water. A diet is equipped with potatoes, fruits and whole grains. A diet is run for five weeks.

In the fifth week, the children in the group getting two new types of foods categorized foods with low and high IgG.

IgG is the antibody produced by the body's immune system and is believed linked to hipersentivitas on food or trigger allergies. Some experts suggest to avoid foods with high IgG levels.

About 51 children managed through dietary adjustments and 78 percent experienced a decrease symptoms of ADHD, compared with no improvement in children from the control group.

However, in children who tried to eat foods with a low or high IgG no difference. In other words, levels of IgG to foods have no effect on the child's behavior.

"If parents see a child's behavior deteriorated after eating certain foods, better consider to avoid it," said Dr.Jaswinder Ghuman, a pediatrician from the University of Arizona.

This vaccine Make Slim Body

2011-07-06T00:10:00.001-07:00

Did you ever think to streamline the body through vaccination? At one point later, slimming body not only be done through diet or calorie restriction. Slim body also may be pursued through the streets of vaccination.

That is now being pursued by scientists in Europe. Last week, experts from Portugal succeeded in developing a similar vaccine that can reduce food intake of animals in laboratory rats. The hope, this vaccine can also be applied to humans and become one of the solutions against the epidemic of obesity in the future.

"After receiving the vaccine, the body produces antibodies against ghrelin, or a type of hormone that causes hunger," said Mariana Monteiro, MD, Ph.D., associate professor at the University of Porto in Portugal.

"This hormone can make a person eat too much because they become more hungry, especially if they limit the number of calories," says Mariana, who published his findings in the association's annual meeting of endocrinologists in Boston, USA.

This vaccine can reportedly make a person eat with a relatively small amount without a shadow of hunger. The mice in the study were ,, calorie foods with a quota of 50 percent lower after being vaccinated, and research has shown that these effects can last up to four years in humans.

This vaccine study in humans does require ,, long enough, and the presence of this vaccine on the market is estimated to be up to ten years.

Effective Make Slim Red Chili

2011-07-04T00:24:00.000-07:00

Eating foods with a mixture of chili in it, besides giving a sense of spicy, it can also help overcome a weight problem. Recent research shows, red chili powerful way to suppress appetite.

Researchers from Purdue University, Indiana USA, found that the compound capsaicin, which gives spicy taste to the chili, can reduce hunger and increase energy expenditure.

"We found that eating red peppers may help regulate appetite and burn more calories after a meal, especially for people who do not eat the spices," says Professor Richard Mattes, one of the researchers was quoted as saying Wednesday (27/4/2011 ).

To get the benefits of peppers, says Mattes, one does not need to try hard to change your diet. All it takes is sprinkled pepper on food in a sustainable manner and in the long term. But to support it, exercise and healthy food intake must also be done continuously.

Research published in the journal Physiology & Behavior is done by measuring the effects of spices on a half teaspoon of cayenne pepper-the most common dose created a person. Previous studies also examine the effects of capsaicin eating packaged in capsule form, but this way seems to be less effective.

Recent studies have shown that the taste of red peppers can directly impact a more optimal. Besides useful for reducing appetite, eating chili was able to maximize the digestive process.

"Effects spicy peppers will burn your mouth contribute to the rise in body temperature, energy expenditure, and appetite control," he explained.

In this research, experts use a common type of red pepper or cayenne. This is the most common type of chili consumed in the world. Unfortunately, not all chili peppers contain capsaicin that is not necessarily effective weight loss.

The study involved 25 people with healthy weight, where among other things, 13 people like spicy food, and 12 others are not. The respondents were followed for six weeks. The results showed, someone who ate chili tends to increase body temperature and effective in burning calories.

From the study also revealed, those who do not regularly eat chili also decreased hunger, especially for fatty foods, salty and sugary foods.

"The response of appetite differ between those who like to eat chili and those who do not. The response indicates that a person of unusual eating chili will have a greater effect. When consumption of chili became commonplace, the efficacy will be lost, "said the researcher.

Junk Food, Fast but Not Complete Business Solutions

2011-06-23T21:40:00.000-07:00

Food junk food is food that has little nutritional content, or the nutritional content of food is actually pretty but it contains substances that are unhealthy when consumed continuously.

"The first, a bit of food nutrient content. For example, foods contain calories but few nutrients other or incomplete, "explains nutrition specialist from Pondok Indah Hospital, Jakarta, Dr. David Dawn P., MS, Sp.GK.

For example, an apple and junk food which both contain calories by 50 calories. Although both have a content of 50 calories, apples also contain fiber, vitamins, minerals, and so on. While junk food which both contain 50 calories, has no other nutritional content (empty calorie).

Secondly, junk food is food that actually has nutritional content, but when consumed continuously and for a long time to be unhealthy. For example burgers, french fries, and so on.

Within these foods contained carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and so on, but if every day we consume, become unhealthy. For example, since fat is not good or saturated fat (saturated fat), contains too much salt, or is always accompanied by lots of sugar. Or from beverages in the form of soft drinks, bottled tea, and so on. Which also includes junk food is the food though fast food, like chicken nuggets.

Rumble Deep Fried

In addition to the owned content, the food is called junk food is also due to its processing. "The way of processing effect. Junk food is usually prepared by frying, especially deep fried frying way, "explains David.

How to deep fried pan will cause the onset of unhealthy saturated fats. Junk food usually ready to eat (ready to eat). For example, pizza is easily found on sale in supermarkets. "Enter into the microwave cook live alone. Surely, these foods contain substances preservatives. "

Fast food or fast food are the same. Quick cooking methods and are generally processed by frying. "There's no way prepared foods processed by steaming, because it certainly takes a long time (slow food) and it took considerable technique. The fastest way is fried, "continued David.

Diabetes Risk What, then, the risk of eating junk food? Clearly, if most of the sugar, the edges can be affected by diabetes. Diabetes is a disease most evil with all its complications, the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney, and so on.

Consumption of salt in large numbers and long may also cause various diseases, such as hypertension, heart disease, stroke and some cancers. Not to mention preservatives substances which can also trigger cancer. "Consumption of saturated oils are also associated with narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis), the edges of stroke and heart as well," said David.

Food intruder Calcium

2011-06-12T22:59:00.001-07:00

bone density can be improved with specific food source, unfortunately the body's ability to absorb calcium is often disturbed by some of our food / create.

Salty foods Foods containing salt is too high can make the calcium in the body is reduced so that bone density decreases participate. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, USA. Avoid food products containing more than 20 percent salt, such as canned food, potato chips, and frozen foods.

Contain oxalates high food content sources will interfere with the absorption of calcium oxalates. Oxalates or oxalic acid found in some plant species, such as green leafy vegetables, spinach, and several kinds of nuts.

Alcohol and caffeine Most people who are alcoholics have low bone density because of the habit of drinking alcohol can reduce the storage of calcium by the body. Similarly, caffeinated beverages such as tea or coffee that interfere with calcium absorption. Therefore those who like coffee or tea is recommended to increase calcium intake.

Fast food fat content, high sodium and sugar in fast food can lead to decreased bone density. Moreover, people usually eat ready meals plus soft drinks. When this habit is done since a teenager, the risk of lower bone mass in adulthood more quickly occur.

Excess Vitamin Also Danger

2011-06-06T15:22:00.000-07:00

Also at risk of malnutrition due to eating food that's all, modern people can also be excess nutrients, mainly from supplementation. Excessive nutrition course the same is not healthy to malnourished.

A recent study presented in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, confirms that excess nutrients will be bad for health.

Studies with a survey of more than 1,500 adults in Canada was conducted by observing the consumption of natural food supplements and intake of the participants. How often are they of supplements, daily food anything that often consumed, as well as brand and dose of supplements that they / create.

The mengasup consumed iron supplements and folic acid are higher than those who do not usually take supplements. On the other hand, more than 47 percent of their consumption, especially niacin, vitamin A, and B6, with much higher doses than that recommended by the U.S. Institute of Medicine. Although there has never been a special survey, it may be many of us have experienced the advantages of these nutrients due to taking supplements without medical supervision.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A (retinol) is important for changes in light, maintain healthy skin, bones, and teeth, help maintain the mucous membranes of the respiratory system and digestive organs, and ward off invasive infections that are often called anti-infective vitamin. Vitamin A also is an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals thus preventing tissue and cells from damage.

Vitamin A much we get from animal foods, whereas from vegetable products we can get the beta which will be converted into vitamin A in the body.

The need for vitamin A is recommended 800 micrograms per day (meg / day) for women and 1,000 meg / day for men. Excess vitamin A can cause nausea, blurred vision, abnormal growth, hair loss, liver and lymph swelling, congenital defects in babies, and brittle bones to break easily.

Vitamin B3

Niacin (vitamin B3) is required to change protesin, fats and carbohydrates into energy, helps the digestive system function, and to support healthy skin and nerves. The biggest dose of niacin that is often more than 1,000 milligrams per day (mg / day) can lower bad LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, while raising the good cholesterol HDL. However, consumption of high doses of niacin should be under the supervision of a doctor.

Women normally receive 15 mg of niacin per day, while men 15-19 mg / day. Tryptophan is an amino acid that acts such as niacin, and 60 mg of tryptophan is equivalent to 1 mg niacin. Consuming excess niacin can lead to heart problems, rashes, itching, numbness, skin feels hot but no fever, abdominal pain, liver damage, muscle disorders, bloating, dry skin, headache, shortness of breath, and others.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is useful to help brain function, convert protein into energy. The synergy between vitamin B6, B12 and folic acid can reduce homocysteine levels (amino acids) in the blood. High homocysteine can increase the risk of heart attack.

Needs vitamin B6 to women about 1.6 mg / day, whereas for men 2 mg / day. Consumption of high doses of vitamin B6, for example, more than 250 mg / day, can cause nerve damage, such as leg numbness, making it difficult to walk. In pregnant women, this excess can interfere with fetal growth.

Safer natural

Over the past can still be obtained from natural sources or food everyday, why get vitamins or other nutrients through supplementation. Actually supplements should not be arbitrary, but must first consult with your doctor or nutritionist as to interfere with health if excessive.

Excess vitamin A from animal sources or supplements for example, can be toxic and dangerous, especially during pregnancy. Excess beta-carotene (vitamin A) was not going to poison, but only makes the skin such as yellow (orange). This situation can be mitigated by reducing the consumption of R beta-carotene.

Foods rich in vitamin A: liver, egg yolk, carrots, sweet potatoes, mango, melon, chili, peppers, spinach, and lettuce.

Foods that contain niacin (vitamin B3): red meat, fish, liver, shrimp, milk and other dairy products, eggs, spinach, broccoli, asparagus, celery, mushrooms, carrots, sweet potatoes, red beans, peas, peanuts, and soybeans .

Foods that contain vitamin B6 (pyridoxine): chicken, beef, tuna, snapper, spinach, potatoes and their skins, sweet potato, garlic, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, peanuts, cashews, soybeans, red beans , banana, avocado, watermelon, melon, and pineapple.

New Bacteria Strain Found in Super Milk

2011-06-04T18:48:00.000-07:00

Scientists in England find a new strain of "super bacteria" MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) in cow milk samples. The new strains of germs have infected humans, although believed to be the experts would not be a serious threat. As published in the journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases, clusters of new strains of MRSA bacteria are found in human and cow's milk that has not been pasteurized in England, Scotland and Denmark.

These findings assessed the researchers as "worrying". However, germs are resistant to several antibiotics is estimated will not cause infection by entry into the food chain through milk. This new strain of MRSA germs found by Mark Holmes and his team from Cambridge University in England, while researching the bacteria S. aureus, causes the disease bovine mastitis in cattle.

MRSA bacteria are estimated to kill 19,000 people each year in the United States, and the same number in Europe. Irrational use of antibiotics in recent decades has sparked increased drug-resistant bacterial infections such as MRSA and C-difficile. Last year, scientists warned of the presence of super bacteria from India named New Delhi Metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM-1) which quickly spread throughout the world.

Meanwhile, on Thursday (02/06/2011) yesterday, the World Health Organization (WHO) indicate that E. coli bacteria that caused outbreaks in Germany is a highly toxic new strain.

Although it is not certain how to spread and nature of ferocity, the experts in Britain and the United States believe that the strain of MRSA is not a serious threat.

"This is not something that should make anyone nervous, unless you are a breeder in England. There is nothing that indicates that the germ is very dangerous and will be spread wide and took over an existing MRSA," said Dr. Gregory Moran, a professor of clinical medicine from the UCLA School of Medicine

"From a food safety standpoint, we believe the findings of MRSA in this dairy did not indicate a risk of any disease," Holmes said in the statement about the findings.

Laura Garcia-Alvarez, a member of the research team, also confirmed that heating the milk cows to prevent the risk of transmission through the food chain thing that interests these researchers are finding raises the question whether the cow barn can be a new strain of MRSA germs. "Although there is clear evidence that dairy cows can be shed infection, is still not known for certain whether the cattle transmit the disease to humans, or humans who transmit the disease to cattle. This is one of the many conditions that will further our study," he said. Scientists at the Health Protection Agency (HPA), England, who was also involved in the study said, although a new strain of MRSA was not detected by standard screening, the bacteria is not a serious threat. Recent investigations currently undertaken in the UK and Europe have proven able to detect it. "It's important to remember that MRSA is still treatable with some antibiotics and the risk of infection by new strains was very low," said Angela Kearns, head of the HPA laboratory Staphyloccocus

Be free from paralysis Thanks Implant

2011-05-20T08:30:00.000-07:00

After a severe car accident in 2006, Rob Summers (25) suffered paralysis from the chest to bottom. Doctors said he could never stand up again. But apparently, the doctors were wrong predictions.

Physical rehabilitation therapy by Summers for three years did not provide any improvement. Then, in 2009 doctors mengimplan electrical stimulator into the lining of the spine to awaken the damaged nervous system.

In a few days post-implant, Summer, able to stand unassisted. A month later, his foot be move, his knee can be moved, as well as ankle and hip. It can even walk a few steps on a treadmill.

"It feels incredible. After not able to move for four years, I think the situation finally changed," he said.

However, now this Summer can only stand when there is in therapy sessions with the stimulator in the installed position. Everyday, she uses a wheelchair. While these physicians are limiting the use of tools stimulator a few hours.

Summer Success was published in the journal Lancet. This research was funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.

During this time, some people who suffer some injury to the spine is still able to control some of his limbs, feeling the improvement after using an electric stimulator in the muscle. However, this stimulator has not been tried in people who have complete spinal cord injury.

"This is not a cure, but can improve the functions of the patient," said Gregoire Courtine, head of experimental neurological rehabilitation at the University of Zurich. He was not involved in the experiment in Summer.

Courtine said, increasing the function of motion experienced by the Summer will not make a difference in daily aktvitas patients. That's why research is still needed to help paralyzed patients to increase their mobility and make a difference in daily routines.

Electrical stimulator is implanted into the spinal Summer is usually used to treat pain and cost up to 20,000 U.S. dollars. The doctor who handles Summer installing implants are somewhat below normal, down to the very end of the tail bone.

"This stimulator sends a signal to the spinal cord to walk or stand," said Dr.Susan Harkema, rehabilitation director of Kentucy Spincal researcher Cord Injury Research Center who did the research.

He and his team claimed to be surprised with the improvement of movement function in Summer. "This proves that we can access the circuits in the nervous system, which will create a new paradigm in healing paralysis," he said.

Now this Summer is still undergoing physical therapy two hours per day. "My ultimate goal is to walk and run again. I believe everything is possible and wheelchair someday I will leave," he said.

Garlic Make Heart Healthy

2011-05-19T10:12:00.000-07:00

A study in Los Angeles, United States (U.S.) recently revealed new evidence that supports the benefits of garlic for the health of blood vessels. Garlic extract in pill form is believed to have great potential to prevent the occurrence of atherosclerosis or thickening of the blood vessel wall tissue.

Professor Matthew Budoff MD and Naser Ahmadi, MD of Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, which concluded through the results of preliminary research that garlic extract in combination with vitamin B-12, folic acid, vitamin B-6 and L-arginine can inhibit the occurrence of atherosclerosis.

In his research, Budoff involving 65 participants, average age 60 years and have a big enough risk of heart disease. Participants were divided into two groups namely the mengonsumi pill containing extracts of garlic plus vitamins, while the other group were given capsules containing a placebo.

Participants were followed for a year and at the end of the study participants, 58 still survive. Regularly every month, participants should be checked for cholesterol and other blood elements. They also must perform heart scans at the beginning and end of the study.

From the research revealed, the development of atherosclerosis seems not fast in those taking garlic pills than those taking placebo. According to the researchers, the findings were not influenced by factors such as age, sex, degree of severity of atherosclerosis in early studies, high blood pressure, cholesterol levels and diabetes treatment.

Budoff and his team did not explain the content of what is really the biggest influence for the slowing of atherosclerosis. However, garlic extract is believed to provide major benefits reduce levels of homocysteine, an amino acid associated with increased risk of heart disease.

Budoff hope this research will continue to reveal the potential of garlic plus vitamins in slowing coronary artery calcification. Budoff The results were presented at the American Heart Association's 2008 Quality of Care and Outcomes Research in Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke Conference.

The study was funded by Wakunaga of America, the which makes the garlic pill Used in the study. Budoff Had full control over the study.

That's why breakfast is not just important for adults but especially in children. Research shows that children often skip breakfast are more likely to miss school than children who routinely breakfast. 'After 8 hours of sleep, in morning glucose reserves would fall so that cause us difficulty concentrating, sleepy and less alert. If this is experienced by children in school certainly hampered its ability to capture lessons, "said dr.Inge Permadhi, Sp.GK, a lecturer in the Department of Nutritional Sciences Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia. The time invested to prepare a nutritious breakfast menu was actually very small compared with the benefits we get."The selected breakfast menu is the menu that should not be too heavy or excessive calories, but still important to note the composition of nutrients. Select the existing carbohydrate, fat, protein and vitamins," said Inge.He cited such nutritious breakfast menu, fresh bread and margarine dioles added egg whites and a little vegetable. "If you do not want too much carbohydrate can be replaced by bread wheat," he said.Another example is a bowl of oatmeal with banana slices and low fat milk. "Avoid the breakfast menu that is too much fried because it can increase levels of bad cholesterol," he explained.Inge suggested that children accustomed to breakfast early as possible, even since they began to recognize the solid food. "Breakfast menu for babies aged 6 months upwards of course adjusted for age, but still have the same nutritional composition and varied," he said.

MarkPlus Consultants Inc., Taufik, in the event MarkPlus Monthly Industry Update Thursday (14 / 4) in Jakarta, said that, based on the 2009 National Social Economic Survey, 66 percent of Indonesia's population to choose their own treat the disease and the remaining treatment to the doctor. Community diagnose and choose the medication independently without the help of medical experts. Something similar happened in many developed countries.

Waist circumference Death Prediction

2011-05-03T09:17:00.000-07:00

Overweight or obese has long been known as one risk factor for heart disease. Doctors often take into account in assessing a person's risk of obesity with heart disease.
Heart disease patients with waist circumference greater than 35 inches in women or 40 inches in men have a greater risk of dying 70 percent faster.

Obesity among them can be known by measuring body mass index (BMI). This is a simple measurement by dividing the height value to the size of a raised weight. The greater the person's BMI score, the more likely fall into the category of obesity.

Numerous studies have indicated, the high score of BMI associated with lower risk of dying from heart disease or chronic disease. This is a mysterious phenomenon known by the term "obesity paradox"

According to expert analysis that was published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, this paradox seems to be explained by the simple fact that BMI is not accurate enough to measure the risks associated with heart disease. Waist size, experts said, it can give a more accurate guide in predicting risk of death due to heart attack patients at a young age or other consequences.

In a study of experts at the Mayo Clinic Rochester, Minnesota USA, patients with heart disease by waist size larger than 35 inches in women or 40 inches in men have a 70 percent risk of dying sooner than their smaller waist coil. The size of a large waist circumference combined with high BMI score even make much greater risk of death.

"The most important thing than the other possibility is the distribution of fat," says researcher Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, MD, a researcher who is also a cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic Rochester.

"Recent research shows another evidence that BMI had many limitations in assessing the risk of heart disease," said Jean-Pierre Despres, PhD, Director of Research at the Quebec Heart and Lung Institute, Laval University, Quebec City.

"If you measure the BMI, then you will not assess body shape, you do not see fat distribution," said Despres, who wrote an editorial accompanying the research report.

"I'm not saying that the BMI is not useful. Only, we need more than that. BMI is total cholesterol in the fat. We know that there is good cholesterol and bad cholesterol, there are bad fats and good fats."

In addition, continued Despres, BMI also can not distinguish between fat and muscle. "Heart patients who underwent less active lifestyle may be noted that a low BMI because they lose muscle mass," he explained. The heart patients who have active lifestyles are likely to experience weight gain and increased BMI because they add lean muscle.

These findings also led to debate about the shape of the body and the risk of heart disease. Several other studies indicate that those who have apple-shaped body with fat deposits in the abdominal area at greater risk of suffering from heart disease than those whose body was pear-shaped. However, this theory was questioned by experts.

Lopez-Jimenez and his team analyzed data on about 16,000 heart patients who participated in one of four studies and cardiac rehabilitation program at Mayo Clinic. More than a third of registered patients died during the study, for periods ranging between six months and seven years.

The high BMI values associated with a 35 percent lower risk of death. However, having a large waist circumference plus the high value of BMI increased the risk of death doubled.

Why belly fat is so bad? Researchers explain that belly fat is a sign of visceral fat or fat that gathered around the organs in the abdomen or belly. These fats can lead to insulin resistance and increasing the amount of bad cholesterol as well as to stimulate inflammation.

"Genetic factors play a strong role in determining whether a person can accumulate fat around the waist," Despres said. He estimates that about 30 percent of the population tend to accumulate fat in places that are not diiinginkan it.
