7 ways to prevent cold

Autumn is coming and it may be easy to get cold. Though cold is not fateful lethal, it can weaken your immune system and let other danger virus go into your body. Adults catch cold 2~3 times per year. Of course, there are many ways to prevent cold. There are 22 ways below for you.

Wash mouth often. Japanese researchers find that washing mouth with clean water everyday can reduce the chance of catching cold by 36%. Simply mouth-washing can prevent respiratory tract infection efficiently.

Have more hot drinks. Hot drinks, like fruit tea and lemon beverage, can alleviate nasal congestion and dehydration. Dry respiratory system make you get infection easily.

Sauna. Though nobody knows how dose sauna works to prevent cold, German researchers find that people who have sauna twice a week catch cold only half times compared with people who don’t. It is possibly because sauna’s high temperature can kill the cold virus.

Wash your hand often. Most cold and flu virus is spread by direct-contact. US Navy Institutes of Health Research do a study with 360000 new recruits. They are required to wash hands 5 times everyday. And the results shows that the chance of getting respiratory disease is reduce by 45%.

Knead eyes with your knuckles. Your knuckles are more clean than your fingertip. People often use their hands to scratch nose or face for 20~50 times. This provide access for harmful bacteria. So it is necessary for you to remember this point.

Eat garlic. Garlic-eater not only catches cold hardly but also easily to get over if they unfortunately catch it.

Have enough sleep. If you want to keep fit you must have enough sleep. Plentiful sleep can not only make you vigorous but also help you to keep your immune system a good state. So you should sleep not less than 7 hours everyday.

I am not sure you won’t get clod any more. But you can reduce the chance you get ill according those effective ways above.

Leptin and weight control

Researchers of Columbia University experimented with six obese subjects on liquid diets. After losing weight by 10% they were administered leptin and functional MRI scans were done to observe their brain activity on seeing the effects of food and non-food items. In the weight reduced state the blood flow was more in areas of the brain that control emotional and sensory responses to food and was comparatively less in areas that control food intake. The brain activity was limping back to normalcy when the subjects were given leptin replacement. Some people appear to have a decreased sensitivity to leptin, and do not lose weight when treated with leptin injections.

The amount of leptin produced in the body varies significantly from one person to the other, even when amount of body fat is similar. Individual differences in leptin production or resistance may be at least part of the reason why some people have a more difficult time losing weight and maintaining that weight loss. There currently are only a few descriptions of leptin gene mutation in humans, so leptin therapy is not a panacea for weight control for the majority of overweight people.

Possibly, because leptin is a protein, it must be injected into the body and cannot be taken orally as a pill or capsule. But a kind of medicine named Max WLX™ is designed to work with your body rather than at the expense of your body, retraining the leptin signals. It will help retrain your body to burn stored fat and regulate hunger sensations. Max International believes the benefits of weight loss should be enjoyed for the rest of your life.

Antioxidants for Athletes

Athletes who want to have a successful career not only need hard training but also scientific nutritional supplement. Dietary maintain good health and to improve post-event recovery. There are many different categories of supplements but perhaps the most important, and misunderstood, of these are the antioxidants. Numerous types of antioxidants occur; some are produced by our bodies while others are derived from the diet. Free radical-induced oxidative stress is an inevitable consequence of prolonged exercise and results in tissue damage, excessive fatigue, delayed recovery and overtraining. Endurance athletes need to ensure that they have an adequate intake of a wide variety of effective plant-based antioxidants.

Although there’s plenty of evidence for the theory of antioxidant protection from free radical damage to cells generally, the link between antioxidant supplements and protection during athletic performance is poorly understood. Some studies appear to show a benefit, others have shown little benefit and some animal studies have even suggested that large doses of antioxidant vitamins may be detrimental. Thus the antioxidant story has been characterised by changing scientific consensus and confusion: do athletes really need extra antioxidant protection, and if so what kind and how much?

Much of the research into antioxidants and athletic protection/performance has centred on nutrients such as vitamins A, C and E and the mineral selenium. Not only are these essential for other functions in the body, they also activate some of the key antioxidant enzymes in the body, which help to defend cells against free radical damage.

Most studies into antioxidants and athletes have involved athletes taking large doses of one or more of these antioxidant nutrients and then observing the effect on a subsequent bout of exercise. In particular, researchers have been keen a) to investigate whether the administration of antioxidant nutrients reduces the amount of oxidative damage caused by exercise and b) to see whether antioxidants actually enhance performance.

The answer to the question is that there does seem to be evidence that extra antioxidant nutrients can reduce the markers of free radical damage during subsequent exercise, but, as mentioned above, this is by no means clear-cut. In terms of performance gain, there’s little evidence to date that antioxidant nutrients can enhance actual physical performance but there may be other benefits associated with taking them. So, athletes should take note of the rapidly growing body of evidence pointing to the protective benefits of phytochemical-rich foods, such as brightly coloured fruits and vegetables. These not only contain antioxidant nutrients but hundreds of other naturally occurring powerful antioxidant compounds.
