If one has to be a hot heroine and always in demand she has to be sure 
to maintain her body very well. Even if she has great talent and very 
beautiful looks if she doesn’t take care of her figure then she will be 
out of business soon. This is something one heroine doesn’t seem to 
realize.

Recently this heroine’s film released and those who saw her mentioned 
that she had put on good amount of weight. Some of the film industry 
people say she has a strong liking for food and just cannot resist 
eating too much. It is heard that whenever she sits for lunch and dinner
 she orders a good spread.

But because she is young her skin has not gone loose and she looks 
voluptuous. The other advantage for her is, the fat has not entered her 
face so she is managing the show. The overall report about this heroine 
is, she has attractive expressive eyes but only 2-3 expressions in terms
 of acting. With this, the Food problem also got added so it looks a 
little concerning.</div>

Eating egg yolks 'may help improve blood lipids'

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Including whole eggs as part of a weight loss diet may have positive effects on <span class="GRcorrect" id="GRmark_93d08d237607653574e434aa59f0034d485aac9b_lipoprotein:0">lipoprotein</span> profiles for individuals with metabolic syndrome, a new study has suggested.
 
<br />
In this study, middle-aged men and women with metabolic syndrome 
consumed either three whole eggs or an equivalent amount of egg 
substitute daily as part of a carbohydrate-restricted, weight loss diet.<br />

Although participants eating the whole eggs were <span class="GRcorrect" id="GRmark_aac205dbfc4fc6c963f4484782de6c862e438807_consuming:0">consuming</span>
 twice as much cholesterol as they had at the beginning of the study, 
the researchers observed no effects on total blood cholesterol or LDL 
cholesterol levels after 12 weeks on the diet.<br />

All participants, including those consuming whole eggs, had improved 
lipid profiles with decrease in plasma triglycerides and increases in 
HDL cholesterol.<br />

"Eating egg yolks <span class="GRcorrect" id="GRmark_c1773e18bd0e2b6f8e326369c030d34b50af272b_was actually associated:0">was actually associated</span>
 with enhanced health benefits in these high-risk individuals," Dr. 
Maria Luz Fernandez, lead author of the study from the University of 
Connecticut, said.<br />

"Subjects consuming whole eggs had greater increases in HDL 
cholesterol and more significant reductions in the LDL/HDL cholesterol 
ratio than those who ate the cholesterol-free egg substitute," she said.<br />

Naturally nutrient-rich, one large egg provides varying amounts of 13
 essential vitamins and minerals, including nutrients that aren't found 
abundantly in other foods, including vitamin D and <span class="GRcorrect" id="GRmark_ec55beb38099452898e0cfbd594e2bf3b1bfab7b_choline:0">choline</span>.<br />

Many of these nutrients reside in the yolk like lutein and 
zeaxanthin, which are antioxidants that may prevent macular degeneration
 and consequent age-related blindness.<br />

While eggs contain only small amounts of these nutrients, research shows that lutein and zeaxanthin from eggs may be more <span class="GRcorrect" id="GRmark_fb5334e0ef43e6b1e53b5f0c6f9871829e88a882_bioavailable:0">bioavailable</span>, or better used by the body, than from more concentrated sources like supplements.<br />

Weight management is a crucial aspect of preventing and managing chronic diseases like metabolic syndrome.<br />

All-natural, high-quality protein helps build muscle and allows 
people to feel fuller longer and stay energized, which can assist with 
weight management.<br />

In fact, an egg breakfast, compared with a bagel breakfast of similar <span class="GRcorrect" id="GRmark_5a5a1061ba0aef522545b5533de943db2ccb7b7c_calories:0">calories</span>,
 has been shown to lead to greater feelings of fullness and reduced food
 intake at later meals, resulting in a significant reduction in BMI and 
waist circumference.<br />

Fat-melting' undies under fire for being 'pseudo science'

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Commercial ads for a popular brand of women's underwear, which claim 
to melt fat or reshape the body using infra-red energy, are the subject 
of a complaint to the Therapeutic Products Advertising Complaints 
resolution panel.
 
<br />
Dr Ken Harvey from La Trobe University has questioned some assertions in the underwear ads as "pseudo science" and "ludicrous".<br />

South Australian company Brazcomm Imports distributes Scala Shapewear
 undergarments and claims that the underwear contains 
"ActiveBioCrystals" that "emit Far Infra Red" energy rays.<br />

According to the ad, the rays kick-start what is known as the BioPromise effect.<br />

One ad says this can reduce signs of cellulite and melt fat away.<br />

Brazcomm imports managing director Dr Tim Nielsen said that more than
 500,000 sets of the items have been sold in Australia, and that the 
popularity and success of the product was testament to its 
effectiveness.<br />

However, Dr Harvey, who was awarded the Choice magazine consumer champion award of 2012, is unconvinced.<br />

"It's classic pseudoscience with words that look like they might mean something," News.com.au quoted Dr Harvey as saying.<br />

"It's ludicrous," he said.<br />

In his complaint, Dr Harvey claims that the ads contain statements 
that cannot be verified, and likely to mislead, exploit the lack of 
knowledge on the part of the consumers.<br />

Dr Harvey concluded by saying that he could not find scientific 
evidence on medical databases to substantiate terms used in the ad like 
BioPromise, Biocrystals and Far Infra Red Rays.<br />

"None of this stuff has ever been written about scientifically," he said.<br />

Blue cheese can protect against heart disease

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Blue cheese, known for its <span class="GRcorrect" id="GRmark_b9074caa812c2ee3a9780dcee275ff41b8db0c02_mould:0">mould</span> and blue-green veins, has anti-inflammatory properties that can ward off heart diseases, scientists say.
 
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Roquefort cheese or blue cheese, 
aged in caves in the South of France, could be among the reasons why the
 French enjoy good health despite a diet high in saturated fat -- a 
situation dubbed "The French Paradox", researchers said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A process that occurs as the cheese 
ripens is good for a healthy gut, helps slow arthritis, and can slow the
 signs of ageing, such as cellulite, according to Cambridge-based 
biotech company Lycotec.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Researchers found that the properties of
 the blue cheese worked best in acidic environments, such as the lining 
of the stomach, the 'Daily Mail' reported.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The research, led by Dr Ivan Petyaev and
 Dr Yuriy Bashmakov suggests regular consumption by the French of 
Roquefort, Camembert and other moulded fermented cheeses could be one of
 the reasons the nation has the lowest rate of cardiovascular mortality 
in the developed world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Experts said Roquefort's properties could be extracted and used in pharmaceutical and anti-ageing products.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Observations indicate that consumption 
of red wine alone cannot explain the paradox and perhaps some other 
constituents of the typical French diet could be responsible for reduced
 cardiovascular mortality.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We hypothesise that cheese consumption,
 especially of moulded varieties, may contribute to the occurrence of 
the 'French paradox'," researchers said.</div>

Women spoil present in her search for a perfect man

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
As most women regret their past romances, new research has found that
 this is perfectly normal, revealing that their tastes change with age 
and proving that there is indeed a " perfect man" for every stage in a 
woman's life.
 
<br />
From bright young things on the hunt for a hunk to "later daters" 
looking for a cerebral soulmate, the research shows that a woman's age 
will often dictate the different characteristics they look for in a 
partner, the Daily Mail reported.<br />

The research in match.com's annual LoveGeist report, which tracks the
 nation's changing attitudes towards dating and relationships, also 
disproves the notion that standards drop later in life, as women over 55
 were shown to be most picky about who they date.<br />

Dr. Cecilia D'Felice, clinical psychologist and relationship expert 
at match.com, said: "It is natural that, as women mature, our tastes 
adjust to our developing expectations."<br />

"When younger, looks predominate as we seek out someone with whom we 
want to share our genes, but these 'surface attributes' become less 
important as we look for depth and new experiences later in life," she 
said.<br />

First and foremost, young women between 18 and 24 want a man they can
 show off to their friends. 47 percent said they would look for a 
relationship with someone their friends would approve of.<br />

As they forge ahead in their careers, women of ages 25 to 34 begin to
 take a more long-term view, but are still susceptible to a dashing man;
 physical attraction is more important than ever.<br />

Sexual compatibility is more important to this age group, than at any other stage in their lives.<br />

As they look to settle down, women aged 35-44 are most likely to have
 their head turned by an older man. 73 percent would be willing to date 
someone more than five years their senior.<br />

Finding a man with a high income is as important to this age group as
 any other. Women in this age range are less picky about who they date 
than any other.<br />

In later life, women look for more cerebral delights. Intelligence 
and shared values are more important to the over-55s, as is sharing a 
similar sense of humour.<br />

quantified how many years of life are gained by being physically active 
at different levels, among all individuals as well as among various 
groups with different body mass index (BMI).
 
Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) collaborated with the National Cancer Institute for the study.<br /><br />"We
 found that adding low amounts of physical activity to one's daily 
routine, such as 75 minutes of brisk walking per week, was associated 
with increased longevity: a gain of 1.8 years of life expectancy after 
age 40, compared with doing no such activity," explained I-Min Lee, MD, 
associate epidemiologist in the Department of Preventive Medicine at BWH
 and senior author on this study.<br /><br />"Physical activity above this 
minimal level was associated with additional gains in longevity. For 
example, walking briskly for at least 450 minutes a week was associated 
with a gain of 4.5 years. Further, physical activity was associated with
 greater longevity among persons in all BMI groups: those normal weight,
 overweight, and obese," Lee added.<br /><br />In pooled data from six 
prospective cohort studies, the researchers examined associations of 
leisure-time physical activity of a moderate to vigorous intensity with 
mortality. They analysed data from more than 650,000 subjects and 
followed subjects for an average of ten years- analysing over 82,000 
deaths.<br /><br />The large sample size allowed them to estimate years of 
life gained after the age of 40 among persons with different levels of 
physical activity and BMI.<br /><br />The findings show that physical 
activity was associated with longer life expectancies across a range of 
activity levels and BMI groups. Participation in a low level of leisure 
time physical activity of moderate to vigorous intensity, comparable to 
up to 75 min of brisk walking per week, was associated with a 19 percent
 reduced risk of mortality compared to no such activity.<br /><br />Assuming
 a causal relationship, which is not specifically demonstrated in this 
research, this level of activity would confer a 1.8 year gain in life 
expectancy after age 40, compared with no activity.<br /><br />For those who
 did the equivalent to 150 min of brisk walking per week-the basic 
amount of physical activity currently recommended by the federal 
government-the gain in life expectancy was 3.4 years.<br /><br />These 
benefits were seen in both men and women, and among white and black 
participants. Importantly, they were also observed among persons who 
were normal weight, overweight, and obese.<br /><br />Participants faring 
best were those who were both normal weight and active: among normal 
weight persons who were active at the level recommended by the federal 
government, researchers observed a gain in life expectancy of 7.2 years,
 compared to those with a BMI of 35 or more who did no leisure time 
physical activity (a 5 ft 5 in tall person with BMI of 35 weighs 210 
lb).<br /><br />"Our findings reinforce prevailing public health messages 
promoting both a physically active lifestyle and a normal body weight," 
explained Dr. Steven C. Moore, PhD, research fellow at the National 
Cancer Institute (NCI) and lead author of this study.<br /><br />This 
findings may also help convince currently inactive persons that even 
being modestly active is "worth it" for greater longevity, even if it 
may not result in weight control.<br /><br />The study will soon be published in PLOS Medicine.</div>

Female condom can protect against pregnancy: Study

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Researchers have developed a female condom which they claim can 
protect against pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV 
by dissolving inside the body and releasing chemicals.
 
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6807575462480269281" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>

Besides blocking the sperm, the condom could time-release a potent 
mix of anti-HIV drugs and hormonal contraceptives, the Daily Mail 
reported.<br />

Experts claim the ‘discreet protection’ can safeguard people from HIV and unwanted pregnancy by ‘melting’ inside the body.<br />

Researchers at the University of Washington (UW) developed the condom
 from tiny microfibres through a method called ‘electrospinning’.<br />

The cloth-like fibres can be woven from medicine into extremely thin 
‘webs’. They are then designed to dissolve after use, either within 
minutes or over several days.<br />

The team was given USD 1 million to develop the technology, which 
uses an electric field to charge fluid through air to create the very 
fine, nanometre-sized fibres.<br />

“Our dream is to create a product women can use to protect themselves
 from HIV infection and unintended pregnancy,” Kim Woodrow, a UW 
assistant professor of bioengineering, said.<br />

“We have the drugs to do that. It’s really about delivering them in a
 way that makes them more potent, and allows a woman to want to use it,”
 Woodrow said.<br />

“This method allows controlled release of multiple compounds. We were
 able to tune the fibres to have different release properties,” 
co-author Cameron Ball said.<br />

One of the fabrics dissolves within minutes, offering users immediate
 protection, while another fabric dissolves gradually over a few days, 
providing an alternative to the birth-control pill, to provide 
contraception and protect against Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).<br />

Aerobics boost brain power

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Regular exercise and remaining physically active not only benefits the body, but also the mind, new research has found. 
<br />
The study review by Hayley Guiney and Liana Machado from the 
University of Otago, New Zealand, focused on the importance of physical 
activity in keeping and potentially improving cognitive function 
throughout life.<br />

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6807575462480269281" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6807575462480269281" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>Studies in older adults reviewed by the researchers consistently 
found that fitter individuals scored better in mental tests than their 
unfit peers, journal 'Springer' reported. Intervention studies found 
scores in mental tests improved in participants who were assigned to an 
aerobic exercise regimen compared to those assigned to stretch and tone 
classes.<br />

Interestingly, these results were not replicated in children or young
 adults. The one area where physical fitness or regular exercise was 
found to have an effect on cognitive function in these age groups was 
for memory tasks.<br />

Both the updating of working memory and the volume of information 
which could be held was better in fitter individuals or those put on an 
aerobic exercise regime.<br />

Look before you leap! Ascending one step at a time actually burns 
more calories than leaping up multiple stairs, a new study has found. 
Although more energy is initially expended when taking two steps per 
stride, over time, more energy is burnt up when you take your time, 
according to scientists from the University of Roehampton. Researchers 
found climbing five flights of stairs five times a week - an ascent of 
15m - burnt an average of 302 calories if stairs were taken one at a 
time. However, taking two steps with every stride will only burn 260 
calories, they said.</div>

Watching porn online 'can make you lose your memory'

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
People addicted to watching pornography on the internet are in danger of suffering from short-term memory loss, researchers say.
 
<br />
German scientists studied the part of the brain responsible for 
keeping information in the mind while using it to complete a task, 
critical for understanding, reasoning, problem solving and decision 
making.<br />

In the first research of its kind, they asked 28 men - all 
heterosexual with an average age of 26 - to look at a number of computer
 images, some pornographic and some nonsexual.<br />

The clean images included pictures of people doing a number of activities, like laughing, playing sports or carrying a weapon.<br />

The men logged a significantly greater number of incorrect answers 
when they viewed the porn than when they saw the nonsexual images.<br />

On an average, they answered correctly 67 percent of the time when 
they viewed pornographic pictures, which rose to 80 percent when they 
saw the clean pictures.<br />

According to researchers at the University of Duisburg-Essen, the 
findings could help psychologists understand why some people with 
internet porn addictions forget to sleep, miss appointments, shirk job 
responsibilities and neglect relationships.<br />

"Sexual arousal and its impacts on cognitive processes might explain 
parts of these negative effects," the Daily Mail quoted the researchers 
as writing.<br />

Binge eating and Obesity

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<strong>Obesity and Youth?</strong><br />

These two do not seem to go together. The reality is however 
difficult today. Eating disorders are so common and very much evident 
these days...<strong><br /><a href="http://www.sakshipost.com/images/news/dec/17/binge.jpg" rel="rokbox[610 310]" target="_blank" title=""><img border="0" src="http://www.sakshipost.com/images/news/dec/17/smart_thumbs/bingethumbs_medium250_0.jpg" style="border: 0; float: left; margin: 6px;" /></a></strong><br />

Each year, thousands of teens develop eating disorders, or problems with weight, eating, or body image.<br />Emotions  and  eating  habits.<br />Emotions
 play major role in one’s eating habits. Have you observed when you hang
 out with friends knowingly or unknowingly you tend to eat more simply 
because of ambience and company.<br />In contrast when you go out for business lunch you tend to restrain yourself.<br /><strong>Depression and eating disorders:</strong><br />Depression,
 anxiety, and other mood disorders are associated with both eating 
disorders and obesity. Adolescents who are depressed may be at an 
increased risk of becoming obese.<br />According to a recent study conducted over a period of one year mental health gets deeply affected.<br />In
 addition, many people with eating disorders suffer from clinical 
depression, anxiety, personality or substance abuse disorders, or in 
some cases obsessive compulsive disorder.with this  mental  health is  
affected.<br />Depression, boredom, loneliness, chronic anger, anxiety, 
frustration, stress, problems with interpersonal relationships and poor 
self-esteem can result in overeating and unwanted weight gain.<br />By 
identifying what triggers our eating, we can substitute more appropriate
 techniques to manage our emotional problems and take food and weight 
gain out of the process. Fluctuation in eating, being on both the 
extremes over eating when one is stressed or starving when in depression
 is hazardous.<br />There are extremes in eating behavior — A person who 
diets that never ends and gradually gets more restrictive, for example. 
Or the person who can't go out with friends because he or she thinks 
it's more important to go running to work off a snack eaten earlier.<br />

<strong>Emotional triggers:</strong><br /> If one is frequently addicted to following leads to obesity<br />• Constant adherence to increasingly strict diets, regardless of weight<br />• Habitual trips to the bathroom immediately after eating<br />• Secretly bingeing on large amounts of food<br />• Hoarding large amounts of food<br />• Increase in consumption of laxatives, diuretics or diet pills<br />Relationg eating disorders to obesity:<br />Eating
 disorders are more than going on a diet to lose weight quickly or 
trying to exercise every day. People generally keep weight reduction as 
their short term goal. They do vigorous, intense dieting program which 
will lead to adverse affects.<br />

 eating a lot. People with this problem don't want to be overweight. 
They wish they could be slim and healthy. Many times people who binge 
eat feel misunderstood. It's not as easy as others might think to just 
stop eating. With bingeing, a person feels out of control and powerless 
to stop eating while doing it. That's why binge eating is also called 
compulsive overeating.<br />

Unlike BED, obesity is not a psychiatric disorder, but it can be a 
symptom of emotional problems. There are many causes of obesity, 
including “emotional eating,” which occurs when a person turns to food 
as a way to cope with stress or low self-esteem. A person is considered 
overweight if their Body Mass Index (BMI) is above 25. If it’s above 30,
 a person is considered obese.<br />

<strong>How Binge Eating Disorder Leads to Obesity?</strong><br />The Health Risks of Binge Eating Disorder and Obesity<br />Like
 all eating disorders, binge eating can lead to serious health 
complications. Over time, compulsive overeating or bingeing usually 
leads to weight gain. The most common type of food that bingers turn to 
during binges is “junk food,” or food that is high in empty calories, 
carbohydrates, fat and sugar. One of the most serious consequences of 
binge eating is weight gain or obesity, which increases the risk for 
heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, cardiovascular disease, 
diabetes, respiratory problems, arthritis, cancer, sleep apneas, and 
emotional problems such as depression and anxiety.<br />

<strong>How to Stop Binge Eating and Curb Obesity</strong><br />

Many people who try to stop binge eating find that it’s very 
difficult to stop on their own. This is because binge eating is not a 
matter of will power; it is a psychological disorder that requires 
professional treatment and a strong support system to fully recover.<br />Rather
 making things complicated we can indeed build a healthy life style plan
 out, work outs, ignoring  short-term weightless plans makes you 
live health and  fit.</div>

Foam injection stops internal bleeding

The spray foam developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects 
Agency (DARPA) can be used to stop internal bleeding, particularly in 
the abdominal cavity which is life threatening because there is little 
that can be done to stop the bleeding, Discovery News reported.<br />

DARPA is hoping that their new foam can help the wounded survive until they get to treatment facilities.<br />

The polyurethane polymer foam is designed by Arsenal Medical as part 
of DARPA's Wounded Stasis Program and it can be injected by a field 
medic in two liquid phases, a polyol phase and an isocyanate phase. When
 the liquids mix, they expand to 30 times their original volume.<br />

As it expands, the foam fills the abdominal cavity and conforms to 
the surface of the injured tissue and organs. The foam then hardens, 
providing resistance to intra-abdominal blood loss.<br />

DARPA claimed the foam could even expand through pooled and clotted blood.<br />

Researchers found that removal of the foam took less than one minute 
after an incision by a surgeon. Only minimal amounts of the foam 
remained in the abdominal cavity and no significant amount of tissue 
stuck to the foam.<br />

Lets see what Wine speaks about you

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
It is possible to generalise drinkers based on their favourite 
tipple, with those who like a glass of red wine being ambitious 
go-getters while people preferring white being more relaxed and 
happy-go-lucky, researchers say.
 
<br />
According to the new study, red wine drinkers are wealthier, more 
educated and happier than average people, while rose drinkers are the 
unquestioned kings and queens of social networking, visiting sites like 
Facebook multiple times every day on an average.<br />

White wine drinkers are home-lovers who enjoy a holiday in the UK and are content with their position on the career ladder.<br />

"They say you can tell a lot about someone from their favourite 
tipple, and it seems that it is definitely the case when it comes to 
wine," the Daily Mail quoted a spokesman for French Wines with Style, 
which commissioned the report, as saying.<br />

"From the study it looks as though those with certain personality traits are drawn to certain styles of wine," he said.<br />

The survey of 2,000 adults looked into everything from earnings and career prospects to personal attributes.<br />

More than half of red wine drinkers are university graduates, and they typically earn between 40-45,000 pounds per year.<br />

And while 81 percent are currently happy at work, 65 percent are 
still highly ambitious and want to scale higher up the career ladder.<br />

In comparison, a white wine drinker pockets around 25-30,000 pounds 
per year, with just 43 percent having attended university, and most are 
not very interested in the corporate ladder, with more than two fifths 
admitting they are really not that ambitious.<br />

Squeezing breasts could stop growth of cancer cells

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
A simple little squeeze may preventmalignant breast cells from 
spreading and triggering cancer,according to a new study led by an 
Indian-origin scientist.
 
<br />
Laboratory experiments found that applying physicalpressure to the 
cells guided them back to a normal growth pattern."People have known for
 centuries that physical force can influence our bodies," said Gautham 
Venugopalan, a leading member of the research team at the University of 
California in Berkeley, US.<br />

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6807575462480269281" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6807575462480269281" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>"When we lift weights our muscles get bigger. The force of gravity is
 essential to keeping our bones strong. Here we show  that physical 
force can play a role in the growth - and reversion - of cancer cells," 
Venugopalan said.<br />

The study involved growing malignant breast epithelial cells within a gel injected into flexible silicone chambers.<br />

This allowed the scientists to apply compression during the first 
stages of cell growth, effectively squashing the cells, the 'Daily Mail'
 reported.<br />

Over time, the squeezed malignant cells began to grow in a more 
normal and organised way. Once the breast tissue structure was formed 
the cells stopped growing, even when the compressive force was removed. 
Non-compressed cells continued to display the haphazard and uncontrolled
 growth that leads to cancer.<br />

"Malignant cells have not completely forgotten how to be healthy; 
they just need the right cues to guide them back to a healthy growth 
pattern," said Venugopalan.<br />

The results were presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology in San Francisco.<br />

"We are showing that tissue organisation is sensitive to mechanical 
inputs from the environment at the beginning stages of growth and 
development," Professor Daniel Fletcher, who runs the Berkeley 
laboratory, said.<br />

"An early signal, in the form of compression, appears to get these malignant cells back on the right track," Fletcher said.<br />

However, the team do not envisage fighting breast cancer with a new 
range of compression bras."Compression, in and of itself, is not likely 
to be a therapy. But this does give us new clues to track down the 
molecules and structures that could eventually be targeted for 
therapies," Fletcher said.<br />

 reversed the effects of compression, the scientists found. The cells 
returned to a disorganized,cancerous state despite being compressed. </div>

9 best ways to defeat stress

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The difference between those who are successful and those who aren't 
is not whether or not you suffer from stress, but how you deal with it 
when you do.
 
<br />
<br />

Heidi Grant Halvorson, Ph.D. Motivational psychologist and author, 
'Succeed' and "Nine Things Successful People Do Differently" has 
suggested nine scientifically proven strategies for defeating stress 
whenever it strikes, according to the Huffintonpost.<br />

Have self-sompassion, she says. Self-compassion is, in essence, 
cutting yourself some slack. It's being willing to look at your mistakes
 or failures with kindness and understanding-without harsh criticism or 
defensiveness.<br />

A dose of self-compassion when things are at their most difficult can
 reduce your stress and improve your performance by making it easier for
 you to learn from your mistake, she suggested.<br />

Second she suggests people to think about the "big picture" - 
Thinking big picture about the work you do can be very energizing in the
 face of stress and challenge, because you are linking one particular, 
often small action to a greater meaning or purpose.<br />

So when staying that extra hour at work at the end of an exhausting 
day is thought of as "helping my career" rather than "answering emails 
for 60<br />

She asks people to rely on routines - Having to make so many 
decisions is a powerful and pervasive cause of stress. Every time you 
make a decision-you create a state of mental tension that is, in fact, 
stressful.<br />

The solution is to reduce the number of decisions you need to make, 
by utilizing routines. Have a routine for preparing for your day in the 
morning, and packing up to go home at night. Simple routines can 
dramatically reduce your experience of stress, she said.<br />

Another simple way is to take five (or 10) minutes to do something 
you find interesting. She points out to recent research that showed that
 interest doesn't just keep you going despite fatigue, it actually 
replenishes your energy. And then that replenished energy flows into 
whatever you do next.<br />

Add where and when to your to-do list, she noted.<br />

Nearly 200 studies, on everything from diet and exercise to 
negotiation and time management, have shown that deciding in advance 
when and where you will complete a task can double or triple your 
chances of actually doing it, she said.<br />

Recent studies show that if-then plans can help us to control our 
emotional responses to situations in which we feel fear, sadness, 
fatigue, self-doubt, or even disgust.<br />

Simply decide what kind of response you would like to have instead of
 feeling stress, and make a plan that links your desired response to the
 situations that tend to raise your blood pressure, she asserted.<br />

Workers should see their work in terms of progress, not perfection, according to Halvorson.<br />

When you think about what you are doing in terms of learning and 
improving, accepting that you may make some mistakes along the way, you 
experience far less stress, and you stay motivated despite the setbacks 
that might occur, she said.<br />

Or think about the progress that you've already made - It can be 
enormously helpful to take a moment and reflect on what you've 
accomplished so far before turning your attention to the challenges that
 remain ahead, she stated.<br />

Know whether optimism or defensive pessimism works for you, she said.<br />

Some people think of their jobs as opportunities for achievement and 
accomplishment-they have what psychologists call a promotion focus.<br />

For others, doing a job well is about security, about not losing the 
positions they've worked so hard for. This prevention focus places the 
emphasis on avoiding danger, fulfilling responsibilities, and doing what
 feel you ought to do, she said.<br />

Promotion motivation feels like eagerness-the desire to really go for
 it-and this eagerness is sustained and enhanced by optimism. Believing 
that everything is going to work out great is essential for 
promotion-focused performance, she explained.<br />

Prevention motivation, on the other hand, feels like vigilance-the 
need to keep danger at bay-and it is sustained not by optimism, but by a
 kind of defensive pessimism. In other words, the prevention-minded 
actually work best when they think about what might go wrong, and what 
they can do to keep that from happening, she added,</div>

Taking stairs one at a time 'burns more calories than leaping'

Ascending one step at a time actually burns more calories than leaping up multiple stairs, researchers say.
 
Although more energy is initially 
expended when taking two steps per stride, but over time more energy 
gets burnt up when you take your time.<br /><br />Scientists from the 
University of Roehampton found that climbing five flights of stairs five
 times a week burnt an average of 302 calories if the stairs were taken 
one at a time, but taking two steps with every stride will only burn 260
 calories.<br /><br />"We were really interested to find out what expended 
more energy overall - attacking the stairs two at a time and climbing 
them quickly, or taking them more sedately one step at a time and 
reaching the top more slowly," the Daily Mail quoted Dr Lewis Halsey as 
saying.<br /><br />"Our study reported the calories burned ascending stairs,
 the potential weight loss value of climbing stairs if done regularly 
and frequently during the week, and also the different energy costs of 
ascending stairs one step at a time versus two steps at a time.<br /><br />"And our conclusion: it is better to take the stairs one at a time, if you want to burn the most calories," Halsey added.<br /><br />Taking the stairs one at a time may result in faster rates of muscle shortening, which increases energy turnover.</div>

We live longer, but not healthier

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: large;">People live more than a decade longer on
 average today than they did in 1970, but spend much of these boon years
 battling diseases like cancer, according to a global health review 
published on Thursday.
 
By 2010, a man's life expectancy at 
birth had risen 11.1 years from 1970 and that of a woman 12.1 years, 
said the bundle of seven studies published by The Lancet medical 
journal. But as we live longer, bigger chunks of our lives are marred by
 illness, with non-infectious maladies like cancer and heart disease 
claiming ever more victims. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Over the last 20 years, globally, we've 
added about five years to life expectancy, but only about four years to 
healthy life expectancy, Josh Salomon from the Harvard School of Public 
Health, a study partner, told AFP by email. You can think about it as 
adding the equivalent of four years of good health and one year of bad 
health. <br />Contributors to the study appealed for a shift in health 
policy focus from simply keeping people alive to keeping them healthy as
 well. Health is about more than avoiding death, said Alan Lopez and 
Theo Vos of the University of Queensland's School of Population Health 
in a joint statement. <br />The magnum opus is the work of nearly 500 
authors from 50 countries, consolidating data from academic research 
papers, autopsy reports, hospital records and censuses, covering 291 
types of disease and injury in 187 countries. <br />With the exception of 
sub-Saharan Africa, it shows a clear shift in the disease burden from 
traditional culprits like malnutrition, infectious diseases and birth 
complications that generally mow down younger people, to cancer, heart 
disease and diabetes that can linger for years. <br />The growing burden 
of disability implies additional health care needs and costs in terms of
 both social costs, financial costs and the demands on health care 
delivery system, Salomon said. <br />The study said non-communicable 
diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease accounted for nearly 
two out of every three deaths in 2010 -- up from half in 1990. 
Thirty-eight per cent more people died of cancer in 2010 than in 1990 --
 eight million compared to 5.8 million. The number of deaths from 
malnutrition and infectious, maternal and neonatal diseases declined 
from 15.9 million in 1990 to 13.2 million in 2010. <br />The big issue 
here is the transformation from risks really related to poverty at the 
global level to risks that are more profoundly related to a series of 
non-communicable diseases and the way people live their lives, study 
leader Christopher Murray of the University of Washington's Institute 
for Health Metrics and Evaluation told a recorded press conference. </span></div>
