LONDON - Sleep day regularly after lunch can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes exposed. Therefore one of the research findings.
Research of 16,480 people shows that they have a siesta likely 26% higher than that diabetes affected not siesta.
Some factors that may cause the disease are disturbances of sleep the night and day links between sleep and a decrease in physical activity.
However, the researchers will examine whether factors such as genetics and excess body weight plays a more important role.
Disruption of insulin
Siesta sleep can make the night become shorter. Sleep Disorders night estimated the potential increase the likelihood of type 2 diabetes exposed ..
The researchers say wake up from sleep the day also activate hormones and mechanisms in the body that prevent the insulin to work effectively. This can make someone exposed to type 2 diabetes.
This disease appears when the insulin in the body does not work effectively.
"We already know that those excess body weight, because the problem has affected larger kemungkuinan diabetes, may experience sleep disturbances," said Dr Iain Frame, research director of Diabetes UK.
"New research could explain possible links between sleep patterns and interference type 2 diabetes."
But he added that so far the type 2 diabetes is caused by many factors excess body weight, age above 40 years old or have a family that had experienced diabetes.
Diabetes is a serious condition that can cause long-term complications such as heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure and concision. - Bbc / ahi

Red and blue is not just color, but this color consecutive determine how the concentration or how you kreatifkah. This is expressed in a new color association study published in Science Express.
Main keys: the color red makes people more focused on things that detail, the color blue to increase creativity, and the second color effect is occurring in nature that we are aware. Ravi Mehta, MBA, and Rui Zhu, PhD, from the Sauder School of Business at Canada's University of British Columbia, to do a study on the 6 to compare the effect of the color red and blue.
They only compare the colors red and blue with the usual intensity and the same information. They try in 6 studies. In each study, students who do not color blind, are asked to perform several different tasks including menghapalkan words on a computer screen with a screen saver blue or red, mendisain a children's game object red or blue, and copy and edit the list address.
Focus Red, Blue Creativity
In each study, students focus more time working on tasks that contain elements of red and more creative when there are elements of the color blue. For example, when a red screen saver, they are more accurate in a memory test and a copy editor is better. mendisain they also play a more practical from a red object.
According to Mehta and Zhu, this is caused by a red signal to provide a more concentrated and more careful, such as the red light on the road. Unlike the red, blue stimulates creativity. Students create a more natural phenomenon of blue objects.
When asked whether red or blue is more focus and strengthen the colors which stimulate creativity, students select the color blue for the second category. According to the researchers, this is because more students like the color blue.
Mehta and Zui infer, certain colors more suitable for a particular task well. "If a job requires attention (for example, to remember the information or the new drug side effects), for this, especially the color red is perfect," write the researchers.
"However, more Mehta and Zui," if the job requires creativity and imagination (for example, to store mendisain art, or a new product, the color blue will be more profitable. "

"10 Health Habits That Will Help You Live to 100"
New Info Us | info health
You don't need to eat yogurt and live on a mountaintop, but you do need to floss
The biggest factor that determines how well you age is not your genes but how well you live. Not convinced? A new study published in the British Medical Journal of 20,000 British folks shows that you can cut your risk of having a stroke in half by doing the following four things: being active for 30 minutes a day, eating five daily servings of fruit and vegetables, and avoiding cigarettes and excess alcohol
While those are some of the obvious steps you can take to age well, researchers have discovered that centenarians tend to share certain traits in how they eat, move about, and deal with stress—the sorts of things we can emulate to improve our own aging process. Of course, getting to age 100 is enormously more likely if your parents did. Still, Thomas Perls, who studies the century-plus set at Boston University School of Medicine, believes that assuming you've sidestepped genes for truly fatal diseases like Huntington's, "there's nothing stopping you from living independently well into your 90s." Heck, if your parents and grandparents were heavy smokers, they might have died prematurely without ever reaching their true potential lifespan, so go ahead and shoot for those triple digits. Follow these 10 habits, and check out Perls' lifetime risk calculator to see how long you can expect to live.
1. Don't retire. "Evidence shows that in societies where people stop working abruptly, the incidence of obesity and chronic disease skyrockets after retirement," says Luigi Ferrucci, director of the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. The Chianti region of Italy, which has a high percentage of centenarians, has a different take on leisure time. "After people retire from their jobs, they spend most of the day working on their little farm, cultivating grapes or vegetables," he says. "They're never really inactive." Farming isn't for you? Volunteer as a docent at your local art museum or join the Experience Corps, a program offered in 19 cities that places senior volunteers in urban public elementary schools for about 15 hours a week.
2. Floss every day. That may help keep your arteries healthy. A 2008 New York University study showed that daily flossing reduced the amount of gum-disease-causing bacteria in the mouth. This bacteria is thought to enter the bloodstream and trigger inflammation in the arteries, a major risk factor for heart disease. Other research has shown that those who have high amounts of bacteria in their mouth are more likely to have thickening in their arteries, another sign of heart disease. "I really do think people should floss twice a day to get the biggest life expectancy benefits," stresses Perls.
3. Move around. "Exercise is the only real fountain of youth that exists," says Jay Olshansky, a professor of medicine and aging researcher at the University of Illinois at Chicago. "It's like the oil and lube job for your car. You don't have to do it, but your car will definitely run better." Study after study has documented the benefits of exercise to improve your mood, mental acuity, balance, muscle mass, and bones. "And the benefits kick in immediately after your first workout," Olshansky adds. Don't worry if you're not a gym rat. Those who see the biggest payoffs are the ones who go from doing nothing to simply walking around the neighborhood or local mall for about 30 minutes a day. Building muscle with resistance training is also ideal, but yoga classes can give you similar strength-training effects if you're not into weight lifting.
4. Eat a fiber-rich cereal for breakfast. Getting a serving of whole-grains, especially in the morning, appears to help older folks maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day, according to a recent study conducted by Ferrucci and his colleagues. "Those who do this have a lower incidence of diabetes, a known accelerator of aging," he says.

Masturbasi Increase Cancer Risk Prostat

Author: Ikarowina Tarigan
A study shows, masturbasi in high frequency in young men increase the risk of natural prostat cancer, but masturbasi reduce the risk of cancer prostat on men aged 50-an.
The high degree sex hormone, androgen, the male will increase the risk of cancer prostat fell ill. However, some studies show different results.
To answer this question, the research team from England's University of Nottingham mencaritahu whether men with a sexual stimulus intensity more high-risk exposed prostat cancer.
Research results are very surprising. Intimate relationship does not affect the risk of cancer prostat. But masturbasi with high frequency can increase the risk of cancer prostat.
Masturbasi with the high frequency of men ages 20s and 30s will increase the risk of prostat cancer, but men aged 50-who make an masturbasi decreased risk of cancer prostat.
Of course, this level of frequency masturbasi relative. For men aged 20's, said "masturbasi high frequency" if masturbasi do as much as 2-7 times per week. Compared with men who do this contemporary masturbasi less than once per month, which they do have a high frequency masturbasi risk 79% higher cancer prostat suffering at the age of 60 years.
For men aged 50-an, it is said to "masturbasi high frequency if they do so once or more per week. Compared with men who never seusianya do masturbasi, those who do masturbasi have prostat cancer risk 70% lower.
What is it? This study does not answer it, but Dimitropoulou and his friends spent several theories. According to them, young men have a genetic hormone-sensitive cancer prostat and the risk will be high if the body naturally produces hormones in the male high-level, hormones that increase the intensity of their sexual encouragement.
So, not masturbasi that increase the risk of cancer prostat the male youth. The more masturbasi, means more sexual stimulus, and the more androgen over a network prostat.
The problem is different from the men who are older. According Dimitropoulou, the men who are older, thus masturbasi can help clean the prostat gland fluids that may contain the substance causes cancer.
"In old age, it is important to remove the poison from the system body," he said. "And because of the frequency masturbasi at the age of 50 not-an often when they are age 20-an, masturbasi even with the low level can also protect."
Dimitropoulou and friends to report the findings in the January edition of BJU International.
