			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The  rainy season generally makes people reluctant to exercise outdoors and  feel more comfortable on the couch to curl up for warmth. Rather than continue the lazy habits, exercise can actually be done anywhere in a fun way.</p>
<p>When going to the mall, there are many things you can do to replace the calories or the time wasted for not exercising. As reported by everydayhealth.com, here are tips-tricks:</p>
<p>Walking With Friends<br />
Exercising in groups will make you more likely to keep the daily exercise plan because it is committed to others.</p>
<p>&#8220;Walking  in the mall for free and when talking with friends, you will not notice  the time, so it tends to last longer and burn more calories,&#8221; said  Carlos Woods, NFL coach strength and conditioning specialist sports  performance.</p>
<p>More Morning Comes<br />
If you want to work out at the mall, walking most effectively carried out if spared from the crowd of shoppers. Mall in the morning would have remained quiet with visitors. Moreover, exercise in the morning proven to improve metabolism and health benefits.</p>
<p>&#8220;If  the mall was crowded, there will be more hurdles and difficult to walk  fast enough because a lot of barriers,&#8221; said Michele Melkerson-Granryd,  fitness trainer at the Arthritis Foundation.</p>
<p>Remote parking<br />
Using this old trick can be an easy way to add more time and effort in regular exercise, at any place and at any time.</p>
<p>&#8220;We  all bernaluri to find the closest parking spot, as if it were a kind  gift. However, the real prize is health benefits obtained by taking the  opportunity to burn some calories through walking,&#8221; said Woods.</p>
<p>Stairs go up for Fitness<br />
To burn more calories, at any time while walking in the mall to shop, find the stairs and use.</p>
<p>&#8220;Climbing  stairs is one of the best forms of cardio exercise and tergampang burn  calories and tighten the muscles. Avoid the elevator or escalator and  choose the stairs. It&#8217;s more healthy and the extra weight of the luggage  could be an added bonus to burning calories,&#8221; said Woods.</p>
<p>Use Bench<br />
The bench is not just to sit, but can also be used to workout at the mall. Bench in the mall can serve as bench weight training at the gym. Use the empty chair to do strength training routines like doing push-ups and tricep dips.</p>
<p>&#8220;Any kind of strength training to burn calories two times more than cardio exercise,&#8221; said Woods.</p>
<p>Carry the Weight Carriage of Goods<br />
Sports in the mall can be improved by carrying goods purchased for daily use while walking. Bending the knee is a simple way to burn extra calories and strengthen muscles while walking in the mall.</p>
<p>&#8220;Walking  while carrying the weight is a small investment with great benefits as  it allows some muscles to work at once. You can do bicep exercises,  shoulder press and triceps extensions increase muscle strength, walking  and lunged carrying luggage,&#8221; said Woods.</p>
<p>Set Goals<br />
Motivation can be a challenge no matter where in order to keep the daily exercise plan. To maintain interest in running sports programs at the mall, set goals for yourself when running.</p>
<p>&#8220;Create  a marker such as a shop or a certain distance when walking tempuhlah  like finish on the toilet or food court. Achieving small goals such as  these help to strengthen the motivation to exercise for long-term plan,&#8221;  said Woods.</p>
<p>Listen to Music<br />
Surefire way to keep yourself to run faster and burn calories is by listening to music that motivates.</p>
<p>&#8220;Research  has shown that listening to music while exercising increased comfort  during exercise and push your body a stronger activity. Make a list of  special songs for sports at the mall and rotate when doing exercises so  as not to get bored,&#8221; explains Melkerson-Granryd.</p>
<p>Self reward<br />
If  you successfully meet the plan to spend the morning while burning  calories at the mall, you are entitled to small rewards for the effort. As I walked past the store, you can observe a shop window to get ideas of gifts.</p>
<p>&#8220;Giving  an award for yourself is a great idea. Tell yourself that you will buy a  new dress to meet the target after one month,&#8221; said Woods.</p>
<p>On  the other hand, impulsive spending can also be curbed by forcing myself  not to buy something of value before the destination is reached.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Measuring levels of stress can be done with heavy bags of groceries were brought. Researchers found more heavy grocery bags more easily triggered the taxable stress. Brought heavy psychological burden affects a person.</p>
<p>Instead  lightly grocery bags that make people more free and loose so it does  not make the psychological burden of stress factor up.</p>
<p>A recent study found that quite surprising, researchers get a carrying heavy shopping bags that can increase<a href="http://yutane.com/enjoy-stress-have-no-stress-at-all-is-not-good-for-health/" target="_blank"> stress</a> levels. This is due to lifting heavy objects can affect mental health that makes one think of things serious or sad.</p>
<p>If  the stress level increases, a person will have trouble in sleeping  patterns, loss of appetite, difficulty concentrating and a more serious  health effects including high blood pressure.</p>
<p>Researchers  from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and National University of  Singapore to analyze how the <a href="http://yutane.com/if-you-want-to-lose-weight-stay-at-home/">physical weight</a> can increase stress levels  by assessing the reaction of consumers who shop.</p>
<p>One  group of participants holding a shopping bag full of stuff and then  asked to give his opinion on a topic unrelated to groceries, while the  other group was left holding nothing and asked the same topic.</p>
<p>The  study results are reported in the Journal of Consumer Research supports  previous research which shows heavy physically can affect a person&#8217;s  psychological burden.</p>
<p>&#8220;Physical  experience that makes a person carrying a heavy load can affect the  person&#8217;s assessment of a case and one of them is the psychological  burden of stress,&#8221; said researcher Zhang Meng and Li Xiuping, as quoted  from Dailymail.</p>
<p>Perhaps  the message from this research should not be too much shopping, because  it brings a lot of shopping bags and weight can actually trigger  stress. Shop that supposedly can make people happy and not stressed it is possible that a lot of stress if groceries.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Actually, how to lose weight is not merely difficult or too change daily habits. Only  by reducing the amount of calorie intake 200-500 calories per day  through diet or exercise, then people can lose weight up to 5 pounds  (2.27 kg) a month.</p>
<p>To  be able to reduce the calorie intake there are several effective ways  that can be made which impact on weight loss as quoted from Fitbie:</p>
<p>1. Drinking more water</p>
<p>Research shows that, H2O (water) can suppress appetite. In  a study by the American Chemical Society, a diet with drinking water 3  times daily before meals for 12 weeks can lose about 5 kg more than  those who do not do the diet.</p>
<p>Water  also makes the fixed-energy, so it will have the power necessary to  burn extra calories at the gym, the tennis courts, or anywhere else-day  activities. If you&#8217;re having a little dehydration can lead to feeling tired already.</p>
<p>2. Reduce fried foods, like french fries</p>
<p>A  study conducted for 4 years on the effects of lifestyle on body weight  stated that, potatoes and potato chips are also closely associated with  weight gain. These foods can be replaced with more fresh vegetables rich in fiber and low in calories.</p>
<p>3. Reduce added sugar</p>
<p>&#8220;Americans  on average consume 475 calories from added sugars every day,&#8221; said  Rachel Johnson, RD, PhD, a professor of nutrition at the University of  Vermont. Though eliminating added sugar can reduce the intake of calories in a week.</p>
<p>Review  of research published in the journal Public Health Nutrition found that  consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages may contribute about 20  percent of body weight. To cut hundreds of calories of food daily, can check the labels of food consumed.</p>
<p>4. Be wary of hidden calories</p>
<p>The  researchers found about 19 percent of the foods tested contain at least  100 to 1,000 calories more than what is stated on the label.</p>
<p>The biggest causes of the miscalculations of calories is also usually occurs in healthy foods, such as salads and soups. Therefore it is the most important thing is to pay attention to every portion of the foods we eat everyday.</p>
<p>5. Many of the moves</p>
<p>Not all calories can be reduced by choosing the type of food or following a healthy diet. Daily physical activity is also very effective for weight loss.</p>
<p>If  lifting weights and running the treadmill did not get done, with simple  physical activity on a regular basis can effectively lose weight. Simple physical activity can increase walking in daily routines.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hungry all the time is certainly very painful, so many failed in his diet. But in a certain way, the diet can lose weight even if only done 2 times a week.</p>
<p><a href="http://yutane.com/beware-of-diet-fads-when-trying-to-shed-pounds/" target="_blank">Diet</a> is done by cutting calorie intake of 1500 calories per day, but only needs to be done 2 times a week. Within 4 months, body weight was reduced an average of 4 pounds while on the diet each day only down 2 pounds.</p>
<p>&#8220;The idea is to limit carbohydrates, but still leaving the opportunity to get a sense of satiety,&#8221; said Michelle Harvie, diet experts from Genesis Prevention Center at the University Hospital as quoted by MSNBC.</p>
<p>In his research, Harvie involving 88 female participants who were asked to undergo several different diet programs. Most of the diet for 2 times a week, while the rest is the usual diet with calorie restriction is adjusted.</p>
<p>The first group underwent a Mediterranean diet with a menu dominated by fish and fruits, as well as calorie restriction as much as 1,500 calories for 2 days. The group that used to be restricted calorie diet as much as 650 calories per day.</p>
<p>Harvie and his colleagues in this study believe, diet is only done 2 times a week will be more easily undertaken. Although at times it will feel very painful, but there is still 5 days to have fun so do not get bored quickly.</p>
<p>Proper diet according to Harvie is very important to prevent obesity, the risk of complications with various diseases such as diabetes that accompany it. Obesity itself is also a risk factor other deadly diseases, such as cancer and heart attacks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A healthy diet can combat the disease. It takes more than an apple a day to keep away from doctors. Apparently, eating some nutrients enough to help keep the immune system against viruses and harmful bacteria.</p>
<p>As reported by prevention.com, the following materials can add extra strength to fight the flu in winter.</p>
<p>1. Yogurt<br />
Probiotics in yogurt are healthy bacteria that keep the intestines and digestive tract free of disease-causing germs.</p>
<p>Though  already available in supplement form, a study from the University of  Vienna in Austria found that 7 ounces of yogurt each day is as effective  as an immune tonic.</p>
<p>In  a Swedish study of 181 factory employees, those who take daily  supplements of Lactobacillus reuteri (special probiotic that works to  stimulate white blood cells) have a number of 33% fewer sick days than  those given placebos.</p>
<p>Optimal dose: Two 6-ounce servings per day.</p>
<p>2. Wheat and barley<br />
According  to reports a study in Norway, these grains contain beta-glucan, a type  of fiber with antimicrobial and antioxidant capabilities more potent  than echinacea.</p>
<p>When animals eat this compound, they tend to be less frequently attacked by influenza, herpes, even anthrax. In humans, the benefits can enhance immunity, memeprcepat wound healing, and help antibiotics work better.</p>
<p>Optimal dose: At least one of three daily servings of grains.</p>
<p>3. Garlic<br />
Garlic contains allicin, the active ingredient that fights infection and bacteria.</p>
<p>British researchers gave 146 people a placebo or a garlic extract for 12 weeks. The result, participants who ate garlic two-thirds less likely to get the flu.</p>
<p>Other  studies have shown that people who chew garlic more than six cloves a  week have a colorectal cancer rate 30% lower rate of stomach cancer and  50% lower.</p>
<p>Optimal dose: Two raw cloves a day and add crushed garlic in cooking for a couple of times a week.</p>
<p>4. Fish<br />
Selenium is contained in shellfish, lobster, and crabs. Its function is to help white blood cells produce proteins that help cytokine flu virus out of the body.</p>
<p>Salmon,  mackerel, and herring rich in omega-3 fats that bergyuna reduce  inflammation, increase air flow, and protect the lungs from colds and  respiratory infections.</p>
<p>Optimal dose: Two servings a week (unless it is or planning to become pregnant).</p>
<p>5. Chicken soup<br />
Researchers  from the University of Nebraska found that chicken-flavored ramen  noodle block the migration of the inflammation caused by white blood  cells.<br />
This finding is important because cold symptoms respond to the accumulation of cells in the bronchial tubes. Cysteine ​​amino acid is produced from chicken during the cooking process. These chemicals resembles the bronchitis drug acetylcysteine.</p>
<p>If the added spices such as garlic and onions, may boost immunity.</p>
<p>Optimal dose: One bowl when feeling tired.</p>
<p>6. Tea<br />
A  Harvard study found that people who drank five cups of black tea a day  for 2 weeks has the ability to fight 10 times as much virus in their  blood than other people who drank a placebo beverage.</p>
<p>L-theanine, an amino acid that is responsible boost immunity, much abundant in black tea and green tea either.</p>
<p>Optimal dose: A few cups a day.</p>
<p>7. Beef<br />
Zinc  deficiency is one of the most common nutritional deficiency in American  adults, especially for vegetarians and people who have reduced portions  of beef, the main source of minerals that strengthen immunity.</p>
<p>Mild zinc deficiency in its early stages it can increase the risk of infection. Zinc  in the diet is essential for the development of white blood cells,  cells of the immune system that functions to recognize and destroy  bacteria, viruses, and various other substances.</p>
<p>Optimal dose: 3 ounces of lean beef provides about 30 percent of the Daily Value of zinc. If you do not like beef, can try oysters, fortified cereals, pork, poultry, yogurt, or milk.</p>
<p>8. Sweet Potato<br />
Sweet potato serves as first-line fortress against bacteria and viruses that do not want.</p>
<p>To stay strong and healthy, skin needs vitamin A. Vitamin A plays a major role in the production of connective tissue, a key component of the skin.</p>
<p>One  of the best ways to get vitamin A in the diet is from foods containing  beta-carotene (such as sweet potatoes) are converted by the body into  vitamin A.</p>
<p>Optimal dose: One-half cup serving provides only 170 calories but 40 percent daily value of beta carotene. Other foods rich in beta-carotene: carrots, pumpkin, canned pumpkin, and melons.</p>
<p>9. Mushrooms<br />
For centuries, people around the world have made use of mushrooms for a healthy immune system.</p>
<p>Research has shown that mushrooms increase the production and activity of white blood cells, making them more aggressive. This is good when the body is exposed to infection.</p>
<p>Optimal dose: shiitake, maitake, and reishi mushrooms appear to be most beneficial for the immune system. Experts recommend at least 1 / 4 ounce to an ounce a few times a day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Obesity and diabetes is a condition that can cause various complications to the body. But now obesity and diabetes can be prevented by injecting the protein.</p>
<p>York University researchers have identified a new protein that plays an important role in maintaining appetite and blood sugar levels. Protein called nesfatin-1 is widely present in the brain.</p>
<p>In this study known to rats given injections of nesfatin-1 protein to consume less food, so many uses of fat in the body and become more active. In addition, these proteins also stimulate insulin secretion from rat pancreatic cells.</p>
<p>&#8220;In addition they are more active, we found that they increased fatty acid oxidation, which means removing more fat and lose weight,&#8221; said Suraj Unniappan, professor in the Department of Biology, Faculty of Science &amp; Engineering York University, quoted by ScienceDaily.</p>
<p>Nesfatin-1 protein itself has been discovered by a research team from Japan in 2006 which is used to regulate appetite and body fat production. While the focus of this study to identify the biological effects of hormone influence appetite in the brain that regulates metabolism.</p>
<p>The injected proteins known to interact with other proteins present in endocrine tissues to maintain stable blood glucose levels and body weight. But until now researchers did not yet know how the mechanism.</p>
<p>&#8220;Treatment with hormones to suppress body weight and blood sugar is very promising. We will explore the therapeutic potential of nesfatin-1 in metabolic disease with debilitating complications,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>The results of studies conducted</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In patients with prostate cancer, hormone therapy can increase the success of the main therapeutic radiotherapy. But  if the patient&#8217;s prostate cancer had a history of heart disease,  hormone therapy is dangerous because it can increase the risk of death.</p>
<p>It  was concluded in a study published online in the International Journal  of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics official scientific journal of  ASTRO. According to the study, patients with prostate cancer who have heart disease, including those most at risk from hormone therapy.</p>
<p>Research  conducted from 1991 to 2006 were studied 14 594 men with prostate  cancer treated with brachytherapy using radiation therapy. Of these, 1378 or about 9.4 percent had a history of heart failure.</p>
<p>Among  people with heart conditions, 22.6 percent received additional external  radiation beam therapy and 42.9 percent getting androgen deprivation  therapy for four months. Androgen deprivation therapy is done to reduce levels of the hormone testosterone in the body that can slow cancer growth.</p>
<p>In  the group of prostate cancer men with a history of heart disease, the  addition of hormone therapy causes a significant increase in the level  of risk of death. Prostate  cancer in men who already have heart disease, researchers found that  within 5 years of 31.8 percent of men who received hormone therapy died.  While prostate cancer in men who did not receive hormone therapy, only 19.5 percent died.</p>
<p>&#8220;We  found that in men with localized prostate cancer and had a history of  heart disease, treatment with radiation plus hormone therapy is  associated with higher mortality compared with treatment with radiation  alone,&#8221; said Paul L Nguyen, MD, lead author of the study and a radiation  oncologist at Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women&#8217;s Cancer Center in Boston as quoted by ScienceDaily.</p>
<p>Further research is needed to understand the mechanism of this effect. For  a while, the researchers suggested that patients with prostate cancer  who have a history of heart disease consult with their doctor first if  you want to use hormone therapy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Omega 3 and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is known both for the body  because it can prevent some diseases such as heart degenaratif. So many people eat omega 3 and DHA. However, one study found that high levels of omega 3 in the body can increase the risk of prostate cancer.</p>
<p>Fatty acids like DHA are found in the cells of your body that fight disease. But  a recent study found high levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the blood  may be associated with an increased risk of aggressive prostate cancer. While elevated levels of bad fatty acids can actually reduce the risk of suspected prostate cancer.</p>
<p>According  to a study conducted by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research  Center in Seattle, as quoted from Epharmapedia.</p>
<p>For the study, researchers have examined more than 3,400 men in the U.S.. The  results mentioned groups of individuals with high then there is the  potential for DHA were 2.5 times more likely to develop prostate cancer,  compared with a group of people who have low levels of DHA.</p>
<p>This  study also suggests that the risk of aggressive prostate cancer was 50  percent lower in men with the highest levels of bad fatty acids.</p>
<p>&#8220;We were surprised to see these results, and we spent a lot of time to ensure that analysis is correct,&#8221; said Theodore M. Brasky of Hutchinson&#8217;s Cancer Prevention Program.</p>
<p>These findings change what is known so far about the diet, inflammation and progression of prostate cancer. Studying the relationship between nutrition and risk of various chronic diseases are very complex.</p>
<p>But,  Brasky and his colleagues do not believe that someone who suffered from  heart disease should stop using fish oil supplements or eating salmon  or other fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids.</p>
<p>&#8220;Overall,  the beneficial effects of eating fish to prevent heart disease is  greater than the losses associated with risk of prostate cancer,&#8221; said  Brasky.</p>
<p>&#8220;This study shows the complexity of nutrition and its impact on disease risk, and that we must learn to do with more detail.&#8221;</p>
<p>DHA and omega 3 commonly found in fatty fish. In the study, the men only consume DHA and omega 3 which is mainly derived from fish than from fish oil supplements. So we need to do more detailed research on the relationship of omega 3 with increased risk of prostate cancer</p>
