New study unveils link between workout and healthy brain
It is true that workout is great for the brain. However, now we can say specifically how this all works, as a new study has just unveiled the science facts that link workout to a healthy brain.
Workout creates new cells in the hippocampus, which
has to do with memory and learning, as workout engages the production of
a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, widely known as ‘Miracle-Gro for the Brain’.
NYU’s Langone Medical Center’s researchers gathered
some mice and divided them into two groups: one with a running wheel in
their cages, the other didn’t. After the period of a month, the mice’s
brains were looked at and, of course, the runners possessed more BDNF than the non-runners.
Upon closer examination, the researchers found
out that the runners’ brains possessed great levels of ketones, which
is a chemical compound made by the body breaking down fat.
The ketones are important for fending off a specific kind of molecular cluster that obstructs the BDNF gene from producing BDNF. The
passive mice’s brains were a lot more covered with the clusters than
the active ones’, hence portraying the body from providing BDNF.
Meanwhile
the runners’ brains were able to produce more, thus boosting a
stronger, healthier brain. However, before you begin to celebrate,
ketone production doesn’t start until an hour or so of intense exercise,
once the body has finished its stores of sugars and starts to burn fat.
Pain killers reduce sexual drive, sperm count says an Expert
A medical practitioner at the Federal Medical Centre, Jabi, Abuja, Dr Arikawe Adeolu, on Tuesday, said that long use of analgesics and antidepressant drugs, could cause sexual dysfunction and low sperm count.
Adeolu told the News Agency of Nigeria in an interview that the class of analgesics that could cause this condition was the narcotic analgesic, an example of which is morphine.
The medical expert said morphine affects the hormonal balance of the body and causes an increase in production of prolactin, adding that increased prolactin in the body can led to infertility in both men and women.
Prolactin is a hormone released by the pituitary grand in the brain. its primary role is to help initiate and maintain breast milk production in pregnant and nursing women.
He said that because prolactin could be induced by the use of this drug, “men who used it would experience low sperm count, while women would experience menstrual irregularities.”
According to him, both sexes will experience decreased libido as prolactin blocks the other hormones responsible for reproduction.
Adeolu said, “A class of anti-hypertensive drugs can also cause sexual dysfunction. These drugs are centrally acting anti-hypertensive medication, one of which is methyldopa, commonly known as aldomet.
“For antidepressants, they affect a particular neurotransmitter which is called by serotonin. Serotonin is very important in the control of sexual behaviour.
“Once the neurotransmitter level is affected, there is a risk of sexual dysfunction which leads to reduction in sexual drive, inability to have an erection and ejaculation in men.
“For women it can cause a decrease in libido that is the sexual drive, delayed orgasm and wetness of the vagina.”
He said that other commonly used medications that could cause sexual dysfunction included: antihistamines, ketoconazole an antifungal, anti-seizure drugs and alcohol.
He said the sexual dysfunction caused by use of these drugs was not permanent, adding that cessation of use of the drugs could reverse the condition.

Is it really so bad to eat dog meat? Read this article by CNN
Copied from CNN, read this interesting article below...
In the West, reaction is divided between those who vigorously condemn the festival and those who claim that it is a kind of cultural imperialism to judge China by our own values.'
'Both are half-right and half-wrong.'
Take the critics of the festival first. There is certainly plenty for them to truly indignant about.'
'There
is a belief among some that the dog meat tastes better if the animal is
slaughtered when distressed, and there are even accusations that the
animals are sometimes skinned alive.'
Lazy thinking?
However, often the critics find it unacceptable that dogs are being caged, killed and eaten at all.
Such
complaints are justified when they come from vegans who are equally
upset about the conditions of pigs and cows in western industrial farms.
But
they are simply hypocritical when they come from carnivores who happily
eat intensively reared pigs, or even from vegetarians whose milk and
cheese comes from cattle kept in such poor conditions that large swathes
of the herds are lame.
However, those who say any criticism
at all is a kind of moral imperialism are also guilty of lazy thinking.
Almost everyone believes that respect for difference has its limits.
I
know of no one who in the name of cultural diversity defends the
barbaric practices of ISIS, the chillingly efficient holocaust
perpetuated by the Third Reich, or the execution of homosexuals and
atheists in some Islamic countries.
What presents itself as
open-minded tolerance can very easily become a kind of condescension, as
though the Chinese cannot be expected to live up to our highest ideals.
Racist sentiments?
In
fact, protest against the Yulin festival began in China, where retired
school teacher Yang Xiaoyun paid thousands of dollars to save dogs and
cats from the festival, and celebrities such as Chen Kun, Yang Mi and
Fan Bingbing have spoken out against it.
Although dog eating
is a tradition in parts of China, the Yulin festival was only started in
2009 and is not endorsed by the local government.
What I also
find troubling about issues like this is how they insidiously bring out
the xenophobe in otherwise liberal people on both sides of the
argument.
When I previously wrote about the festival, one
person who ranted against me tweeted that all Koreans were evil because
they ate dogs.
Such blatantly racist sentiments are rarely
expressed so openly but I fear many who condemn the Yulin festival are
also confirming their own prejudices about "backward" Asian peoples who
are inherently cruel and incapable of being sympathetic towards animals.
'The
readiness to believe the worst about the Chinese also comes out in the
way in which many people sharing their anger on social media accept the
stories of cruelty without checking for themselves that they are rife.'
'Seeing
one video of one dog being beaten is not enough to condemn the whole
festival, just as knowing that there have been abuses in some Western
abattoirs does not condemn the whole meat industry.
'Westerners
who feel appalled by the Yulin festival need to check that their
objections are based on robust values and not just a sentimental
preference for cute, friendly animals.'
'Then, they should check that the stories they hear are true, which it seems they too often are.'
'Then,
they should think hard about the right way to express their
disapproval. Some claim that social media pressure from the West has led
to a decline in the number of dogs killed to around 1,000, but it is
hard to know what is really responsible for the drop.
'Usually any perception of outside "Western" pressure is counterproductive for a campaign.
'Ultimately this is an issue for the Chinese to resolve themselves.'
Backing
groups like the Chinese Animal Protection Network shows both respect
for the Chinese people and faith in the possibility that some values at
least are truly universal.'
What do you think, is it good to eat dog meat?

New recommendations show how to treat all people living with HIV and decrease new infections
The world is poised to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030 – provided it can accelerate the pace of progress achieved globally over the past 15 years, according to a new World Health Organization (WHO) report.
Already, much has been achieved. This year, the Millennium Development Goal that called for halting and reversing the spread of HIV on a global basis was met.
By 2014, the number of HIV deaths was reduced by 42% – from a peak of more than 2 million in 2004 to an estimated 1.2 million.
Since 2000, an estimated 7.8 million lives have been saved, fewer people are acquiring HIV, and projections of an end to the epidemic by 2030 – a goal once considered unattainable by many experts – are now realistic, according to the WHO report, Global Health Sector Response to HIV 2000-2015.
The rapid scale-up of access to antiretroviral therapy (ART), one of the greatest public health achievements in recent times, has made treatment available to more than 16 million people living with HIV across the globe. Today, more than 11 million people in the WHO African Region alone are receiving HIV treatment, versus about 11 000 who were taking the medications 15 years ago. That is a thousand-fold increase.
Yet more must be done. Globally 60% of all people living with HIV have not yet enrolled in antiretroviral treatment.
“In the last 15 years, new HIV infections have reduced by 41% in the African Region, more than in any region in the world,” said Dr Matshidiso Moeti, WHO Regional Director for Africa. “But the number of people acquiring HIV infection is still too high and young women and adolescent girls continue to be disproportionately at risk.”
Treatment for all people living with HIV
Recent findings from clinical trials have confirmed that the early and expanded use of antiretroviral treatment saves lives by keeping people living with HIV healthier and by reducing the risk that they will transmit the virus to partners.
In September, that confirmation led WHO to recommend that all people living with HIV start ART as soon as possible after diagnosis.
At ICASA, WHO is presenting a set of recommendations to enable countries to expand treatment to all — rapidly and efficiently. These recommendations include using innovative testing strategies to help more people learn they are HIV positive; moving testing and treatment services closer to where people live; starting treatment faster among people who are at advanced stages of HIV infection when they are diagnosed; and reducing the frequency of clinic visits recommended for people who are stable on ART.
“WHO’s new implementation guidelines showing how to treat all people living with HIV and decrease new infections are transformative,” said Dr Deborah Birx, US Global AIDS Coordinator. “Short of an HIV vaccine or cure, this gives us the critical tools we need to create an AIDS-free generation with the Fast Track Strategy. We must seize this moment and chart a bold course together to end the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat.”
Improving HIV prevention
The same drugs that help people living with HIV to remain healthy also prevent people at substantial risk of contracting HIV from becoming infected. Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is the use of an antiretroviral medication to prevent the acquisition of HIV infection by uninfected persons. In a quest to step up prevention, WHO now recommends PrEP be offered to all people at substantial risk of HIV infection.
Other established prevention tools continue to reduce the number of new HIV infections. They include male condoms and female condoms, participation in behavior-change programmes and other prevention services for key populations. For example, more than 10 million men in Africa have volunteered to undergo medical circumcision, which reduces their risk of contracting HIV by 60%.
Ending AIDS as part of the SDG agenda
At the UN General Assembly in September, world leaders endorsed the Sustainable Development agenda. This agenda includes the target of ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030 – by reducing new infections by an additional 75% by 2020 and by ensuring that, in the coming 5years, 90% of people living with HIV are aware their infection, 90% of those are on ART, and 90% of people on ART have no detectable virus in their blood (UNAIDS’ “90-90-90” target).
Increasing emphasis on and targeting of effective prevention alongside increased treatment is also essential to reducing new infections from the current 2 million per year to the UN target of less than 500 000 by 2020 and 200 000 by 2030.
Achieving these targets will require bold action, with the health sectors of nations around the world playing a central role.
“Despite the significant progress, half the people living with HIV globally do not know they have acquired the virus and do not receive treatment that can save their lives and avoid infecting others,” said Dr Winnie Mpanju-Shumbusho, WHO Assistant Director General for HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases. “We must now step up our efforts to reach the missing half with testing and treatment and the prevention of new infections, or we will miss the unique opportunity to end the AIDS epidemic within a generation,” she added.
The effort is at a critical juncture, with success within reach, and failure likely to result in a resurgence of the disease and its costs.
Most Read: Facts About Detoxification and How to Detoxify Your System
Health is Wealth they say. Detoxification has been improving the state of human health since it has been discovered.
Detoxification (detox) involves eliminating foods particles that may be putting stress on organs or even causing havoc on the system entirely following digestion. To detoxify your system, you have to make use of foods that energize and revitalize your body. Under natural circumstances, the skin, bowels, liver, kidney and lungs eliminate toxins from the body but unfortunately,our modern diets are based mainly on processed and unwholesome foods. These “toxins” in our food cause the body to lose its natural detox ability at the same rate the body is being bombarded with harmful products. Detoxification is a means to reset the body’s ability to eliminate toxins.
REASONS TO DETOX
1. To clean out the colon
2. For glowing skin
3. For better sleep
4. To boost metabolism
5. Reduce bad breath
6. Purify the liver
7. Slow down aging and degenerative changes
8. Boost immune system
9. To aid weight loss
10. Increase energy levels
How to Detoxify
You mustn’t start by doing a 30 day detox; go small. It’s easier to stick to. You could do a 3day plan or even a one day detox. See how that goes then increase as you can handle.
There are different ways to detox:
- Juice cleanses: these are easier because you do not have to chew and break down your food. The digestive system takes a little break.
- Raw food Detox: everything you eat is whole raw food. This isn’t easy to do for 3 meals a day.
- Halleluyah diet: 85% raw foods, 15% cooked foods. You will have to skip breakfast and the cooked portion can only be taken durng the end of the evening meal.
- Diuretic diet: does not really cause weightloss but encourages the body to release fluids. Eat foods like watermelon, artichoke, celery seeds (i can already hear someone scream “THOSE AREN’T FOOD”
- Mono fruit detox: using only one fruit, one of the best fruits for this plan is the APPLE. Apples are wonderful at detoxifying the liver.
