England – lifestyle proved to be a person who is suffering from cancer. Data from the Cancer Research UK, is the cause of the tobacco, the highest with 23 percent of cases (for men) and 15.6 percent (women) of all cancers that occur throughout the year. The following is the reason for the lack of eating fruits and vegetables in the diet of obese men and women.

The results were published in the British Journal of Cancer, as the online edition of BBC pages, 7 December 2011 quoted. The author says that this is the most comprehensive analysis than ever before.

According to the author, Prof. lead. Max Parkin: “Many people believe that cancer is a genetic or congenital fate, and as a raffle for all concerned.”

But he said: “Given all the evidence, it is clear that about 40 percent of all cancers by something that we all have the power to change it caused.”

For men, Parkin said, the best advice is to quit smoking, as he watches his weight. “We did not know that eating fruits and vegetables were important in protecting the body against cancer. As women, we not assume that obesity is much riskier than alcohol.”

A total of 14 environmental and lifestyle factors, such as the location of the residence and the work – a combination of both – cause 134 000 cases of cancer in the UK each year. Approximately 100 000 (34 percent) of cancer associated with smoking, diet, alcohol and obesity. Among the 25 cases of cancer with the work of one person, such as exposure to chemicals or asbestos. There are several known cancer risk factors such as smoking caused lung cancer. While others are less known.

For example, for breast cancer risk is almost 10 overweight or obese. Whether obesity is caused by breastfeeding or other factors. Only then will it be caused by alcoholic beverages.

The researchers based their calculations predicted the occurrence of this case pursuant to 18 different types of cancer in 2010 took place in England. The data used for the 15 years 1993-2007.

Dr Rachel Thompson of the World Cancer Research Fund, said the report adds that “Now that is shown by the very high likelihood of cancer in our lifestyle.”

While Dr. Harpal Kumar, chief executive of Cancer Research UK, shows that a healthy lifestyle does not guarantee everyone who does not get cancer. But, he said, the results of this study indicate. “We can reduce our bad habits”

Boston – Working the night shift not only cause physical fatigue, but also the possibility of an increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes women. The latest findings by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, USA.

Study of two groups of women showed that those who are late shift and night shift more often affected by type 2 diabetes than women who work are working in normal office hours. The longer they work in shifts, the greater the risk for this disease.

“This association is very strong and very consistent between the two groups,” says senior researcher, Dr. Frank Hu, a professor of nutrition and epidemiology at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.

“The nurses, who has long two years been in the night shift rotations to minimize this risk increases. But for those many years ago on the night shift, the evidence suggests that the longer working on night shift, the higher the risk of developing diabetes, “Hu said explained. The results of these findings was published in the December issue of PLoS Medicine, were like the 6th edition of Health Day December 2011 quoted.

Under the background of this study, job rotation is more frequent. Several studies found an association between an unusual working hours and obesity and the metabolic syndrome (a variety of symptoms such as high blood pressure, insulin resistance, associated with the risk of heart disease). Both are associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Recently, a study of Japanese men show a correlation between the work on the night shift and type 2 diabetes.

For the investigation of shift work, the work of three or four nights a month, is described, plus daytime and evening. Hu and his team examined data from two groups of women in health-U. participated S. Nurses’ Studies I and II there are more than 69 000 women 42 years to 67 years in the first study, and almost 108 000 women aged 25 to 42 years in the second study.

When the women in the list has not been received by them, diabetes, heart disease or cancer. Completed 18 to 20 years study period, it is known that the 6165 women had in the first group and almost 4,000 women in the second group of type 2 diabetes.

Compared with women who never worked night shifts, women who received the night shift one or two years as much as five percent risk of developing type 2 diabetes. While those on the night shift between three to nine years the risk by 20 percent. To women diagnosed with shift work at night from 10 to 19 years 40 percent chance of diabetes than people who have never ever worked night shifts.

Work in rotation shift also affects the pattern of eating and sleeping habits. In addition, working women, changing the layer tend to smoke too.

“Shift work is an important risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes,” said Hu. “These studies raise awareness of diabetes risk among people working on night shift and the importance of screening or prevention of diabetes risk.”

Vitamin C can come from several sources of food are included. A study in India found that the adults have enough vitamin C intake from the diet may reduce risk of cataracts.

Cataract is a disease of the eye lens opacity, that the most common vision problems in older people. Several studies have shown that an adequate intake of antioxidants such as vitamin C may reduce risk of cataracts.

In this study, researchers analyzed more than 5,600 Indian adults aged 60 years and older. Participants are asked about the lifestyle and the measurement of the amount of vitamin C in blood.

A total of almost 73 percent of respondents have called cataract. But the risk can be reduced or are reduced when the intake of vitamin C was caused mainly from food.

The result is a high intake of vitamin C reduced cataract risk by 39 percent compared with the intake of vitamin C is low. Of course there is also other factors such as income, smoking, high blood pressure and diabetes to calculate.

It is biologically plausible because vitamin C is an antioxidant, which means you can protect cells from damage by oxidative stress means.

“Laboratory and animal studies showed vitamin C plays an important role in protecting the lens of the eye against oxidative stress,” says Astrid E Fletcher of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Reuters on Friday (15.07 cites / 2011).

Fletcher said the eye as an organ whose function is to see which one that is very susceptible to oxidative stress. Light is an important thing to see, but light can also damage the lens when it absorbs ultraviolet rays, which are the main source of oxidative stress.

For it can not hurt if you eat foods with vitamin C than oranges, grapefruit, green and red peppers, kiwi, strawberries, broccoli and tomatoes. This can help to meet the need for vitamin C, reducing the risk of cataracts.
