The existence of two symptoms of this forgotten to make the victims of a stroke are sometimes delayed getting help. The people around him did not recognize it as a stroke, then waited until her face Perot difficulty speaking.

Prof Ross Naylor, a researcher from Leicester Royal Infirmary revealed that almost all people are able to recognize three common symptoms that accompany a stroke. All three are the hard-driven arm (arm weakness), Perot face (facial weakness) and hard to talk.

But when dealing with 2 other symptoms of many forgotten, not everyone recognizes it as a symptom of stroke. Leg weakness (leg weakness) as the only known symptom of stroke by 57 per cent of respondents and blurry eyes are only known by 44 per cent of respondents.

This data was obtained in a recent survey in Britain involving no less than 1,300 respondents of all ages. The study, funded by East Midlands Strategic Health Authority was conducted over two years, in order to increase awareness of the dangers of stroke.

"It's important for everyone to know all five symptoms of stroke. They do not need to wait for all five of them came at once to seek help," said Professor Naylor is quoted from Buxtonadvertiser, Wednesday (07/12/2011).

As ever reported detikHealth, triggering a stroke is very diverse so it can not resolve themselves without medical help. Stroke induced by blockage of blood vessels in the brain should get blood-thinning medication within 3 hours since the attack.

2. Should squint to see objects at a reasonable distance that should be seen by normal eyes
3. Often complain of blurred vision or ghosting when viewing the object at close range or far
4. Often complain of headache, redness of the eye or eye fatigue, especially after reading
5. Requires visibility close to the object to be seen more clearly
6. Roads are often stumble, fall and likes to hit-hit because they can not see the object of focus.

If you see any signs or symptoms should consult a physician to be given prescription glasses that fit with eye conditions. Because if the size of the minus, plus or silindris not correct, then one can not clearly see the object he saw.

The findings revealed the existence of a joint study between the Leiden University Medical Centre and Unilever R & D found for the first time, the relationship between blood sugar levels in humans and facial age (the age of the face).

From these studies note that people aged between 50-70 years with high sugar levels seem older than their lower blood sugar levels. Shown that for every increase of 1 mmol / liter of blood sugar levels, a person's face will look older than 5 months.

Tests conducted on 600 men and women in the Netherlands on blood sugar levels (without fasting). The study was published in AGE, initiative Netherlands Consortium for Healthy Ageing which aims to understand how health can be maintained when a person's age increases

Diana van Heemst, associate professor at Leiden University Medical Center said,''The results of this study further demonstrates the importance of controlling blood sugar levels to one's health in middle age. Perhaps looked younger could be a motivation for someone to change his lifestyle to become healthier at around the age of 50-70 years.''

David Gunn, a senior scientist at Unilever R & D laboratory at Colworth Science Park said,''The first study is once again proving that the blood sugar levels are constantly high is not good for health also makes a person does not look young.''

Eat Rice Can Increase Levels of Arsenic in the Body

2011-12-28T01:35:00.003+07:00

Rice is considered by most people as a pretty healthy food. But it turns out the rice can be a real source of exposure to inorganic arsenic. Predicted daily intake of rice can increase the burden of cumulative exposure to inorganic arsenic.

Inorganic arsenic is a toxic form of arsenic in the urine.

Conclusions are based on the results of research Michael S. Bloom, PhD, assistant professor at the University at Albany, New York. The study measured levels of arsenic in urine from 229 pregnant women in New Hampshire. New Hampshire is a U.S. state in which 40 percent of people obtain water from wells.

Well water sometimes have higher levels of arsenic than water that has been processed by the water company, which must meet federal safety standards.

Researchers examined levels of arsenic in water consumed by women. Researchers also asked the women to write down what foods are eaten in 3 days before the urine test.

After counting kadararsenik in drinking water, it turns out the researchers also found that inorganic arsenic levels slightly higher in women who just ate rice as compared with women who did not eat rice.

"Women who eat just half a cup of rice each day will get arsenic same as if they drank one liter of tap water at the maximum allowable EPA limit for arsenic," said Michael S. Bloom, PhD, as reported by WebMD, Wednesday (07/12/2011).

The study showed that rice is likely to be a significant source of arsenic in the diet of pregnant women. "Exposure to arsenic during pregnancy is quite alarming. Arsenic can cross the placental barrier and can harm the developing baby," the researchers said.

USA Rice Federation said that all the arsenic in water is inorganic, the toxic form of arsenic. Some organic arsenic found in rice. Though organic rice is a type of rice that are believed harmless.

Each gram of rice eaten by women was associated with increased 1 percent in the levels of arsenic. One gram is about 48 grains of rice.

"This study really learn about exposure to arsenic, but did not study the effects on health," said Margaret R. Karagas, PhD, a professor of community and family medicine in epidemiology from the Dartmouth Medical School in Lebanon.

Research has linked high levels of arsenic in the pregnant woman to an increased risk of miscarriage. Exposure to arsenic in utero has also been associated with low birth weight in children and increased risk of infant death.

Most cases occur in developing countries, where women have arsenic levels 50-200 times higher than those seen in this study.

The study results have shown that that people with long-term arsenic exposure have a higher risk of skin cancer, lung, and bladder. Arsenic also has been associated with higher risk of cardiovascular disease.

Review the results of such research is not meant to prohibit people who eat rice. However, should the people choose the types of rice that they eat.

The study results have found brown rice contains higher levels of arsenic compared with white rice, because the arsenic concentration in the outer layer of rice bran.

The results of these studies are very useful for the development of research on popular staple food widely consumed throughout the world. However, larger studies need to be done again to confirm and support the research.

Further research is also needed to know better about the health effects of arsenic exposure from eating rice.

3. Concentrating on the food

How many times have you reprimanded by parents not to speak, read or watch TV while eating? Reprimand is not without reason. Because, when you eat while talking or watching television, your brain will not focus on the amount of food you consume and you are more likely to consume more food.

4. Do not cook too long

Cooking food for too long will kill or reduce the amount of nutrients. And when you're not getting enough nutrients, you will not feel satisfied and start looking for an unhealthy snack. To overcome this, try eating more raw foods such as salads, and avoid using the microwave.

5. Consumption of fruit before eating

Encouraged to eat fruit at least 30 minutes before a heavy meal. In this way, the fruit will be digested quickly. Eat fruit when stomach is empty will help detoxify and supply more energy to lose weight.

6. Little to eat, but often

Ideally, you should eat 5-6 times per day. Eat more often better to keep your metabolism to keep working at higher levels throughout the day. But, do not use this rule as an excuse to overeat.

7. Stop eating after 8 pm
