Honey for Chronic Sinusitis

The study is being presented at the 2008 American Academy of Otolaryngology — Head and Neck Surgery annual meeting in Chicago. Researchers, led by Tala Alandejani, MD, at the University of Ottawa.
Since centutries, we know that honey is equiped with the ability to heal. We know that mainly sugar components and anti-oxidant (chrysin, pinobanksin, vitamin C, catalase, and pinocembrin)has composed honey as a powerful medicine. The research just said the same thing.
Maybe the most interesting discovery was that the honey worked significantly better than an antibiotic against two bacteria: MSSA (methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus) and MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). They are bacteries that cause chronic synusitis.

Thinking can make us fat?

A small Canadian study has found that people eat more after an intellectual exercise than they do after just sitting quietly for the same amount of time and more or less same amount physical energy. Read it here at http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9502E7DF103DF935A2575AC0A96E9C8B63

The scientists had 14 female students engage in three 45-minute sessions before being invited to eat as much as they wanted at a buffet. For one session, they rested in a sitting position. In the next, they read a document and wrote a summary of it, and in the third they performed a series of computer-based tests.
Even though the same amount of physical energy was involved in all three sessions, the women consumed an average of more than 25 percent more calories after the intellectual exercises than after just sitting quietly. The study, published in the September issue of Psychosomatic Medicine, controlled for habitual diet, body mass, anxiety level and other factors.

Not Only Cops, There are Good Fats and Bad Fats

You may have known this. If you haven't it is very good as a basic knowledge. Don't just judge that fats are bad. Or, don't want to eat that for the cholesterol

Fats come in two major types: bad and good. And each type has two subtypes. Bad fats are saturated and trans, which tend to be solid at room temperature (think of butter and lard), and good fats are mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated, which tend to be liquid at room temperature (think of vegetable oils).

One thing that all fats have in common is the number of calories they produce inside your body; namely, nine per gram of fat eaten. To put that into context, a gram of protein equates to four calories and a gram of carbohydrate is also four. That is the sum total of everything you need to know about calories: fats = 9, protein = 4 and carbohydrate = 4 (calories per gram eaten). But please note well that every gram of fat provides more than twice the number of calories as does either protein or carbohydrate. So as an aside, you can readily see that cutting back fat is more beneficial on a gram per gram basis than cutting back other foods.

Man with obesity have abnormal sperm

The news come from REUTER. It becomes getting more and more important to go on diet.

The newest low-tech fertility treatment may be a diet, researchers said after learning that obese men have more abnormal sperm and make less semen.
Their findings, presented at a meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Barcelona, Spain, add to recent research showing that obese women are more likely to be infertile.
"We felt that it was possible that male overweight might contribute to fertility problems, particularly since it is a known risk factor for problems in conceiving among women," said Dr Ghiyath Shayeb of the University of Aberdeen in Scotland.
Their study of 2,037 men attending Aberdeen Fertility Centre showed that men with a normal body mass index, meaning they were neither overweight nor underweight, produced higher levels of normal sperm and more semen than those in the other groups.
"Other studies have suggested an association between male obesity and increased DNA damage in the sperm, which can be associated with reduced fertility as well," Dr Shayeb said in a statement.
"Our findings were quite independent of any other factors and seem to suggest that men who are trying for a baby with their partners should first try to achieve an ideal body weight," he added.
He said his team will now compare conception rates between obese and normal men to see if the poorer semen quality correlates with reduced fertility.
"The mechanism for the relationship could be a number of things - different hormone levels in obese men, simple overheating of the testicles caused by excessive fat in the area, or that the lifestyle and diet that leads to obesity could also lead to poorer semen quality," Dr Shayeb said.
"We just don't know the answer yet, but this is an important question that needs urgent attention."
