Consumption of low-carbohydrate diet can prevent type 2 diabetes: Study

 A new study has found that consuming a low-carbohydrate diet can help prevent type 2 diabetes and reduce blood sugar levels in diabetic patients. In a new study led by Tulane University, researchers said that low-carbohydrate diets reduce hemoglobin A1c (which indicates blood sugar levels) in patients with type 2 diabetes. Doctors usually recommend a low-carbohydrate diet to diabetic patients, but there is very limited evidence on whether eating less carbohydrates can affect blood sugar in diabetic patients or people who are about to suffer from this disease. Generally, low-carbohydrate diets focus on proteins and non-starchy vegetables, while limiting the consumption of grains, fruits, bread, sweet and starchy vegetables and fruits. According to experts, according to dietary guidelines given to Americans, carbohydrates provide 45 to 65 percent of the calories taken by a person daily. Carbohydrates account for between 900 and 1,300 of the 2,000 calories a day. In contrast, limiting ca

Obesity can be prevented by adopting four simple habits

Too much salt increases the risk of stomach cancer

 Salt is essential for the body. Many bodily functions and metabolic processes can only be accomplished with the help of the small crystals. This includes regulating blood pressure and maintaining fluid balance. What everyone should know about salt. Table salt consists of the minerals sodium and chloride - and has no calories. Among other things, sodium regulates the water balance, affects blood pressure and ensures the signal transmission of nerve and muscle cells. Thus, the mineral is also of great importance for the heart rhythm. Among other things, chloride is an important component of the digestive juices and is involved in the formation of gastric acid. Sodium deficiency is particularly common in the elderly Older people around the age of 70 often suffer from sodium deficiency. Their bodies react sensitively to fluctuations in the salt balance. In addition, they are often not very thirsty and many of them are less hungry - it is possible that too little of the mineral is being ab

Some reasons that increase the risk of infertility in men

 Although most people associate infertility with women, 20 to 30 percent of infertile couples have problems in men.   In November 2022, a study revealed that men's sperm count worldwide is declining by 2.6% annually.   From 1973 to 2000, sperm count decreased by 1.2 percent annually, but from 2000 to 2018 it increased to 2.6 percent.   The study did not shed light on the reasons for the decrease in sperm count, but the researchers said that environmental and lifestyle factors are possibly linked to it.   Apart from this, medical experts have identified some reasons that increase the risk of infertility in men.   Obesity Excessive body weight also increases the risk of infertility in men because the amount of fat in the body affects the hormones that are linked to men's reproductive system.   Smoking, alcohol or drugs Smoking, alcohol or drug use also increases this risk.   Nicotine present in tobacco increases oxidative stress in the body, which has negative effects on the repr

Starch-rich potatoes can be helpful in weight loss

 People who want to lose weight, experts usually tell them to avoid foods rich in carbohydrates,  but now scientists believe that starch-rich potatoes can be helpful in weight loss. Scientists say that this happens because people eat the same amount of food at the time of eating that fills their stomach, without thinking about how many calories they have gained in this food. According to the researchers, people who add potatoes to their food, which are rich in carbohydrates and are heavy, fill their stomachs quickly, so doing so prevents them from eating more calories after filling their stomachs. Every 100 grams of potatoes contains about 80 calories. This amount is more than double the calories present in vegetables like carrots or broccoli. But potatoes and bread, pasta and rice are eaten in equal quantities, it contains half the calories compared to these things. In this case, the researchers also pointed out that the method of cooking potatoes is also very important and potato chi

Colon cancer has been proven to be prevented by taking aspirin

 Another advantage of aspirin, a miracle medicine that has been used for over a century, is that it can help to prevent colon cancer. Aspirin prevents cancer cells from developing and forces them to die naturally. If some of these cells escape the process, they can develop into tumurs and cancer. The use of aspirin in this process has been demonstrated to be quite beneficial, particularly in gastric and intestinal malignancies, where it can help inhibit cancer cells from spreading. Dr. Dominic Wooders, a public health specialist at the University of California, Berkeley, explained, "Aspirin inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells and has an effect on their birth rates and deaths." On the one hand, it increases cell death; on the other hand, it stops malignant tumours from spreading. Another research expert, Natalia Kumarova, believes that aspirin may help prevent cancer cells from becoming sick and detrimental to the body, based on Darwin's theory of evolution. As a re

Do you want to control your high cholesterol?

  Do you want to control your high cholesterol?  Adults have cholesterol problems. Bad diet and genes cause high cholesterol. It's not enough to change the daily menu to make everything normal. Yes, Proper diet helps. Depending on the body's needs, the liver (70%) produces a lot of cholesterol. The rest comes from food. Inadequate diet disturbs these proportions, creating a dangerous excess that can be reduced.  In fact, many with high LDL cholesterol inherited their ancestors' tendency to store it. They overproduce cholesterol in the liver due to a genetic defect that prevents their tissues from absorbing it. They eat well and are healthy, but atherosclerosis destroys their blood vessels. This can be stopped with them. 1. Relax People's cholesterol levels drop after a vacation. Rest, relaxation, and good company are healing. Active recreation is the only sure thing, but overcoming stress is very important. Stress causes high cholesterol, though the mechanism isn't

Diabetes accelerates the aging process and causes memory loss

 A study in the journal E-Life found that diabetes not only speeds up the aging process but also speeds up the aging of the brain. Experts say that having Type 2 diabetes can speed up the aging process by 26%. Our brains are amazing. They can remember things, learn, control themselves, and think in different ways. All of these things get worse as you get older, but people with diabetes have a 7–13% decrease in brain processing and other problems. Another conclusion is that type 2 diabetes can cause a wide range of mental illnesses.  Specialists looked at MRI pictures of the brains of people who were healthy and those who had diabetes. Gray matter in the brain was 13 percent less common in people with diabetes than in people without diabetes. In this study, both healthy and sick people were the same age.  There is a clear link between neurodegeneration and type 2 diabetes. The effect then gets stronger as the patient ages. Overall, diabetes makes the brain age 26% faster.  The research

Common habit of today's youth which can cause hearing loss

Nowadays the use of air or headphones with smartphones is very common, as a result of which more than a billion young people are at risk of hearing loss. This warning came out in a new medical study. The study, published in the journal BMJ Global Health, estimated that 24 percent of people aged 12 to 34 listen to headphones, earphones, earbuds or music at an unsafe volume level in different places. The World Health Organization (WHO) said in 2019 that young people's hearing power is at risk due to devices such as smartphones, headphones and earphones. The study found that listening to music at an unsafe volume level only once can damage hearing power, while doing so repeatedly causes changes in hearing. According to researchers, this habit can lead to hearing loss over time. During the research, the habit of listening to music around the world was examined. For this purpose, the researchers analyzed research reports from 2000 to 2021 on the habit of listening to music in loud voice

Does the removal of the third tonsil cause weaker immunity ?

 The third tonsil, also known as the **adenoid**, is a mass of lymphoid tissue that sits at the back of the throat, above the soft palate. It is part of the body's immune system and helps to fight infection. The removal of the adenoid is a common procedure in children who have recurrent ear infections, sinus infections, or sleep apnea. It is also sometimes done in adults who have these conditions. There is some debate about whether the removal of the adenoid can weaken the immune system. Some studies have shown that children who have their adenoids removed are more likely to get sick with respiratory infections in the years following the surgery. However, other studies have not found this to be the case. It is important to note that the adenoid is not essential for the immune system. The body has other ways of fighting infection, such as the tonsils, the spleen, and the lymph nodes. Therefore, the removal of the adenoid is not likely to cause a significant weakening of the immune s

What are the risks of untreated hypothyroidism (Thyroid) ?

  Untreated hypothyroidism can cause: development of  atherosclerosis  as a result of the increased amount of lipids in the blood, and thus cardiovascular disease, depression, anxiety disorders, overweight, sterility, irregular menstrual cycles, recurrent miscarriages, neurological disorders, developmental disorders in a child, hypothermic coma  , which is a life-threatening condition; manifested by a drop in body temperature below 35 ° C, slowing down the heart rate, slowing down breathing and drowsiness progressing to coma. It is also crucial to remember that untreated hypothyroidism makes it very difficult to function on a daily basis due to difficulty with focus, forgetting about more and less important things, or chronic tiredness. As a result, the disease can have a major impact on one's quality of life.

Which is better: dental bridges or dental implants?

Both dental bridges and implants are effective, long-lasting and functionally high-quality tooth replacement options. It is therefore difficult to say in general whether a dental bridge or a dental implant is the better choice. This is also highly dependent on the individual case. A dental bridge is a type of dental restoration that is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of two or more crowns that are placed on the teeth on either side of the gap, with a false tooth or teeth in between. The false tooth or teeth are called pontics and can be made from a variety of materials, such as porcelain, gold, or alloy. Dental bridges are a popular and effective way to restore the appearance and function of missing teeth. Definition of a single implant A single implant is a dental restoration that is used to replace a single missing tooth. It involves the placement of a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as a replacement root for the missing tooth. A crown is then attac

Inflammation of the glans penis

 Inflammation of the glans penis, also known as balanitis, is a condition that affects the head of the penis. It can cause redness, swelling, and discomfort, and may be accompanied by itching, discharge, or pain during urination. Balanitis can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor hygiene, irritation from soaps or other products, fungal or bacterial infections, and certain medical conditions. Treatment typically involves keeping the affected area clean and dry, using topical Symptoms Discomfort during sexual activity may also occur, and in severe cases, the foreskin may become tight and difficult to retract. It is important to seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen, as untreated balanitis can lead to complications such as scarring, phimosis, and even increased risk of sexually transmitted infections. In some cases, antibiotics or antifungal medications may be prescribed to treat the underlying cause of the inflammation. Preventative measures such as proper hyg

Plastic bottles: why is it better not to reuse them?

With all this heat, you might want to fill up your water bottle. Nutritionists say that this is not a good thing to do. Reusing your water bottle at the beach, in a park, or in the forest is tempting, if not obvious. a habit that is good for the environment but bad for your health, according to research. When heated, chemicals break down in water. It is a known fact that bottled water has a lot of tiny plastic pieces in it. But when it is ten times hotter, the process of molecules swapping places happens ten times faster. Chemical leaching happens when the chemicals in the plastic bottle mix with the liquid more quickly. In a Chinese study, water bottles were kept at temperatures as high as 158 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees) for four weeks to show how heat affects PET water bottles, which are the most common type of disposable water bottle. Because of this, the amount of BPA and antimony, which is a carcinogen similar to arsenic, had slowly gotten worse. "Increasing the temperatu

Diabetes in women damages the heart.

 Diabetes can impact anybody, but not everyone in the same way. According to studies, women are more likely to get heart disease, stroke, and other problems from this terrible illness. High glucose levels adversely impair fertility, genitourinary health, and libido. More frequently, diabetes in women damages the heart. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, diabetes increases the risk of heart disease (the most frequent complication of diabetes) by roughly four times in women but only about twice in males. Following a heart attack, diabetes worsens the health of diabetic women. In addition, they are more likely to acquire consequences such as stroke, eyesight loss, kidney illness, and depression. Diabetes may raise a woman's risk of coronary heart disease and stroke for a number of reasons. One of them is the difference in biological characteristics between the sexes regarding the distribution of adipose tissue. If you have a history of the condition in your f

Can diabetics eat peanuts?

 Many people like to eat peanuts, but does it not have a negative effect on the health of diabetic patients?   Diabetic patients often think that eating peanuts is not harmful. What are the health effects of eating peanuts? Diabetes patients need to use a diet that does not increase blood sugar levels too fast after eating. Peanuts are not primarily nuts but a legume as the name suggests. Since peanuts have similar characteristics to both legumes and nuts, it is often considered to be nut.   There is a lot of evidence that indicates that the use of beans and nuts is beneficial for a person's health.   Is eating almonds more beneficial for health after soaking them?   A study has shown that nuts and beans reduce the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other diseases, the risk of all these complications is very high for the patient of diabetes.   By eating 28 grams of peanuts, the body gets 161 calories, 7.31 grams of protein, 4.57 grams of carbohydrates,

Popular heart medications can prolong life

 A study published in the journal "Aging Cell" shows that popular drugs used to treat cardiovascular disease can slow down the aging process. Although the analyses involved animals, the authors believe that they may prove to be an effective anti-aging strategy.   The most effective anti-aging intervention today is considered to be a calorie-restricting diet. But as the experts point out, analyses of calorie restriction in humans have yielded mixed results. New research has shown that there is already a drug that may prove to be a reasonable solution.   Hypertension drugs can prolong life A group of researchers from Europe and the United States has made a remarkable discovery. Scientists have proven that rylmenidine prolongs life and improves health indicators in animals. The drug is currently used in patients with hypertension.   The benefits observed by the investigators related to the treatment of rylmenidine niceni C. elegans. Unlike other drugs studied by the expert group

Frequent hypoglycemia is hazardous for diabetics.

 Frequent hypoglycemia is hazardous for diabetics. Despite the fact that diabetics are at a greater risk for vision loss, patients who frequently experience low blood sugar may experience slightly more eye damage. As a result, frequent low blood sugar levels can exacerbate vision problems associated with diabetes. Scientists from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine reported that as a patient's blood sugar level decreases, the oxygen supply to the eye's associated cells is also impacted, and as a result, this process may occur repeatedly and cause vision loss. In this study, human and rat retinal eye cells were grown in the lab by depriving them of sugar abruptly, and the results were recorded. The study is published in the most recent issue of Cell Reports, a scientific journal. According to the findings of university researcher Akrit Sodhi and his colleagues, diabetics who take insulin and experience twice-daily blood sugar drops below the normal range may experien

Disadvantages of sitting for too long?

 Health is life, and where good diet is necessary to maintain health, physical activities also play a key role. The  invention of computers and mobiles and the majority of people working in offices spend a long part of the day sitting in front of the screen,  this habit is causing many diseases such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease and mental diseases.   Health experts consider this habit as dangerous as smoking.   During a recent study, scientists revealed that exercising for a certain period of time is very important to remove the harmful effects of a day of sitting.   According to research, if you have spent 10 hours of the day sitting, it is very important to perform 40 minutes of exercise or physical activity every day, including moderate or intense exercise, to avoid its harmful effects on health, and according to experts, it is the right time. The study is based on a meta-analysis published in 2020 that analysed nine previous studies, including four countries in which 44,370

A high-calorie diet has a higher chance of cancer and early death, research

 Separate studies in the United States and Italy have shown that people who eat fast food or undernourished foods are more likely to have colorectal cancer and heart disease.   According to the report published in the British Medical Journal, fast food or undernourished food includes items that are high in calories, including soups, sauces, pizzas, pre-cooked foods, sausages, French fries, soda, cookies, cakes, toffees, doughnuts, ice cream and others. Marion Nestle, professor of nutrition, food studies and public health at New York University, said, "There have certainly been hundreds of studies on fast food or undernourished food, and all of them have shown that eating fast food is more likely to cause cancer, heart disease. ’ He added that this research is a continuation of all the research done in the past, fast food or low-food items clearly increase the chances of infectious diseases. The us study looked at more than 200,000 men and women over the age of 28, most of whom fou

Daily use of eggs helps in weight control

 Eggs are considered good for other physical health, including vitamin D, but now a new study has shown that they are also helpful in reducing obesity, including weight control.   According to the research published in the medical journal 'Science Direct', a short but comprehensive study conducted by Spanish experts showed that the daily use of eggs not only helps in weight control, but it also reduces body fat and obesity. A study conducted by the University of Casilla La Mancha on more than 350 students aged 18 to 30 found that daily consumption of eggs not only helps in weight loss, but their use also improves and strengthens body mass index (BMI). During the research, experts asked volunteers to use eggs daily and the volunteers were divided into different groups. During the study, some volunteers were instructed to eat eggs without yolk, while some volunteers were instructed to eat eggs with yolks, and experts also took x-rays of the volunteers, including conducting dietar

Depression in people who do not eat meat revealed

 Although some research in the past suggested that eating too much meat is also harmful, now a new study has shown that people who avoid eating meat are more likely to have depression.   According to research published in the medical journal 'Science Direct', long research conducted in Brazil showed that people who eat vegetables fondly are twice as likely to suffer from depression.   For the study, experts asked more than 14,000 adults about food, including people between the ages of 35 and 75.   Later, the experts interviewed all the volunteers and checked their body mass index (BMI), other tests were also done and their economic and social conditions were also assessed. Experts also took into account the lifestyle of the volunteers and concluded that depression is generally suffering from people who do not eat meat despite deliberately expanding. According to experts, people who eat vegetables were twice as likely to suffer from depression, but it is not completely clear tha
