Unreasonable Cleanliness May Cause Diseases

Pursuit of cleanliness is an asset. But too much water drowned the miller, as they say. Scientists found that chasing dirt may increase the risk of various diseases. According to statistical data, there was a sharp increase in type 1 diabetes among children for the last 5 years. Scientists have been unable to explain the upsurge for a long time until they finally found the link between the diabetes in kids and their parents’ unreasonable pursuit of cleanliness.

Studies show some bacteria and viruses that live in the air provide a kind of “tempering” to our body. They make children’s bodies develop immune proteins, which lowers the risk of diseases in future. One of these bacteria is turned out to prevent type 1 diabetes.

The lack of this bacterium in the air can lead to allergies, asthma and other diseases related to weak immune system.

Experiments over laboratory mice supported the findings. Gnawers who grew under bacteria free conditions were 80% more likely to suffer from various diseases than mice placed into regular environment.

I don’t mean to say you should throw your vacuum cleaner away or let dirty dishes pile in a sink to temper your body – that will only make a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. Just make sure your house in not totally sterile.

13 Healthy Foods for Good Eyesight

Maintaining good eyesight throughout life is challenging. Right diet will make the task easier, for example, if you add some avocado, spinach or beans to your daily diet. Having perfect eyesight in youth doesn’t mean you will be able to see as clearly when you become a senior citizen. 30% of seniors worldwide 65 years of age suffer from eyesight diseases. This figure goes up to 50% among people 80 years of age. While some diseases can be cured, the others can cause blindness.

What Is Age-related Macular Degeneration?
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision impairment. Macular is an area in the back of the eye that sends visual information to the brain. Statistics shows that nearly 30% of people over 75 years of age suffer from AMD. It is not only aging to blame, however. Intensive sun exposure, smoking, alcoholism and even excessive weight significantly contribute to the risk of vision deterioration. Your diet may also play its role.

Latest studies show that high fat foods and the lack of vegetables in your diet aggravate retinal deterioration.

How to Keep Your Eyes Healthy?
The most common natural remedies for bad eyesight are carrot and blackberry. They are rich in substances that strengthen our eyes. Scientists, however, are losing their interest in these natural foods. Latest studies show that fruit and vegetables of green and yellow colors are more beneficial for retina than those of orange color. They contain zeaxanthin and lutein, which are pigments with stronger healing effect.

List of Foods for Eye Health
Surprisingly, these magic pigments have been also found in foods of animal origin. Check out the list of healthy food for eyes. Doctors encourage us to choose the most suitable items from the list and get them into our regular diet (in theory, there must be at least five items from the list):

1. Spinach
2. Head cabbage
3. Loose leafed cabbage
4. Marrow5. Corn
5. Broccoli
6. Brussels sprout
7. Lettuce
8. Leaf lettuce
9. Beans
10. Pistachios
11. Chicken eggs
12. Avocado.

The Best Cancer Preventive

A study was conducted in Israel which revealed a correlation between painful moments in woman’s life and development of breast cancer. The university Ben-Gurion, Beer-Sheva, Israel, studied 255 females aged under 45. The women shared one thing in common - each of them was diagnosed with breast cancer. The information about those women was compared to the one about 367 healthy women who shared with them the age group. It’s notable, that women diagnosed with cancer had life situations of the similar kind before the disease development.

The results of the study showed apparent connection between painful life events, such as loss of a parent or both parents, relatives, or husband, parents getting divorced when the woman (child) was under 20 years old. The scientists noted that a woman has to go through a number of such painful events in her life for them to result in triggering cancer development. The possibility of such women to develop breast cancer is higher by 62%.

In the course of the study the scientists also discovered much higher depression level with low optimism and happiness level in women diagnosed with breast cancer when compared to healthy women. The scientists suggest that there is a negative correlation between cancer development and depression or lack of happiness in the female’s life. “The happier you are and the more optimism you have in your life, the lower chances of you developing breast cancer” - believes the supervisor of this study.

So, dear ladies, please, don’t be pessimistic and try to find at least one single positive thing in every situation.
