Proven Energy Drink of Coffee

To boost stamina, a lot of people to try different types of energy drinks with a variety of abortion. But according to a recent study, the efficacy of various energy drinks actually no better than a cup of coffee.

Research published in the journal Nutrition Review this proves that the various ingredients in energy drinks are not as powerful as the accompanying claims. The only content that is proven efficacious is caffeine, the same as that found in coffee.

During this time, heralded energy drinks have a variety of properties because it contains many nutritious content. Call it ginseng, and taurine guanara extract that reportedly can improve cognitive function in addition to physical ability.

But those claims are not many that can be proven, very little evidence that the glucose or sugar and taurine which can boost stamina. The rest, stamina injections only from a substance that is popular in the daily life of caffeine.

No need to wonder if people can get over-current stamina consume energy drinks, caffeine causes an average of 14 times more than carbonated soft drinks. For that reason, the risk of an overdose of caffeine claimed 14 times higher when consuming energy drinks.

Some experts do not recommend energy drinks for kids, because it can lead to excess energy that will damage the heart, and even behavior. Not only that, an overdose of caffeine is also often associated with the risk of diabetes and seizures.

"For most children the routine physical activity, plain water is best," said Dr. Holly Benjamin, one of the scientists of the Comer Children's Hospital who led the study, reports the Daily Mail, Tuesday (18/12/2012).

Tea and honey would be a future antibiotic

More and more bacteria become resistant (resistant) for excessive use of antibiotics. Scientists are now turning to traditional treatments such as tea and honey. Will the combination of tea and honey will replace antibiotics in the future?

More and more drugs are used, the more likely any bacteria build resistance and a super germs, causing a condition called experts 'arms race'.

It raises the specter of concern to the medical world and the fear of the return of antibiotic revolution in the 1940's.

"I hate to say we are back to the pre-antibiotic era, when treating serious illness that very issue," said Professor Les Baillie from Cardiff University, told the BBC, as reported by the Telegraph, Thursday (12/13/2012).

He said the British strategy is being carried out ways to slow down the problem by controlling the use of antibiotics, so there is always 'a backup'.

Professor Baillie is now leading a team to explore whether the ancient remedies, such as tea and honey, the next could be a way to overcome super germs.

Tea contains polyphenolic compounds that have health benefits, including its ability to kill micro-organisms.

Scientists from Prof Baillie teams have seen tea as a source of drugs to treat clostridium difficile, which is the bacteria responsible at least 2,000 deaths and over 24,000 infections last year.

"There are real concerns about the future of medicine in the post-antibiotic," said Rhidian Morgan-Jones, a surgeon Cardiff University.

This is the impact if 9 hours in air condition area

World of work today can not seem to escape from the use of air conditioner or air conditioning. But if you spend too much time in air-conditioned, first to 9 hours can cause health effects.

Research has proven to be in the open can strengthen the immune system because of the white blood cells that protect against bacteria need oxygen to work effectively.

But unfortunately most of the urban population spent nearly 9 hours in the office with air conditioning and are often followed by a night's sleep in air-conditioned rooms.

This condition certainly can affect a person's health condition. Respiratory infections are the most commonly affected as flu and colds, frequent headaches and itchy throat. It is experienced by many young professionals in the urban areas.

"An air conditioner has cooling through the evaporation process so that it can dry out the mucous membranes in the nose and mouth," says consultant ENT surgeon, Dr Gauri Mankekar of Hinduja Hospital, as quoted from Timesofindia, Thursday (12/13/2012).

As is known the nose, sinuses and throat depends on the moisture in the membranes that protect the immune system. When moist, the immune cells able to attract viruses, bacteria and allergens into the trap as the body's first line of defense against airborne pathogens.

But unfortunately most are not equipped with air conditioning humidifier causing dry air around it. These conditions helped weaken the body's defense against pathogens.

Besides other effects of constant exposure and direct from the cold, dry air can damage the skin and eliminate the elasticity that can trigger itching. Generally the skin condition dermatitis and eczema are often found in otang who spend long hours in the cold air-conditioned.

Several things can be done to mitigate the adverse effects are:

1. While working in the office try to get out of the room air conditioner for example during lunch to get some fresh air, as well as in the room to open the windows and doors so that sunlight can enter.

2. Make sure the air temperature in the office is set in order to avoid 'shock' due to sudden temperature changes when the incoming heat from the external environment. Sudden temperature fluctuations can affect the joints.

3. Using the body warm enough clothes when in an air-conditioned, and remove the clothing while outdoors.

4. Although located in a cold room, still consume enough water every few hours to keep the body well hydrated, you should not wait for thirst to come.
