The good news for you penyuka fish. A recent study said, regularly eating fish rich in omega - 3 fatty acids may be able to prolong your life.

Studies in the U.S. researchers analyzed more than 2,600 seniors. Those who have an omega-3 fatty acid higher in the average blood Live 2 years longer than those with lower rates.

" The study is not a study of fish oil supplements, but studies on omega fatty acid levels - 3 in the blood associated with the regime, " said researcher Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian , Professor epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.

Studies published in the Annals of Internal Medicine is certainly no evidence of eating fish regularly can prolong life , but this study shows no link between the two .

" The omega fatty acid levels - 3 in the blood compared to low risk of death , mainly caused by cardiovascular problems ," said Mozaffarian .

Omega - 3 fatty acids can be found in salmon , mackerel , herring , mackerel, tuna, sardines. Fish are rich in protein and fatty acids have been researched in advance can reduce the risk of death from heart disease. However, for deaths from other diseases, remains unclear.

Fish do not eat longevity routine?

Then his Mozaffarian and his team also measured the fatty acid in the blood, not the consumption of food fish as was done previously.

At the beginning of the study, the researchers analyzed blood samples , physical activity and lifestyle of older participants averaged 74 years . At this time , none of the participants who consume Omega- 3 .

After completing 16 years , a total of 1,625 deaths, 570 are caused by cardiovascular disease. Study revealed , the more fatty acids omega -3 levels in the blood , the greater the risk of death.

Alice Lichtentein , director and principal investigator at the Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory at Tufts University , Boston, who was not involved in the study, said the study can not show cause and effect .

The study, he said , can not determine whether omega- 3 is directly responsible for reducing the risk of death or as an indicator of a healthy lifestyle . However, people who regularly eat fish usually also fans of vegetables and fruits.
The American Heart Association recommends eating fat fish like salmon about 100 grams twice a week . Even though, according Lichtentein , replace the fish with fish oil supplements do not necessarily give the same effect .

Hop , a set of female flowers of the species or Strobilus hop , Humulus lupulus , used in beer mixture as it can potentially cure . According to a study published in the journal Angewandte Chemie International , hob can be used to treat diabetes , inflammation and some types of cancer .

Hops is commonly used as flavorings and stabilizers namely beer taste with bitter and sour flavors add to the beer . By adding hops to beer , beer flavor becomes stronger . A recent study found that there is a certain bitter compounds in hops that humulones , which could potentially be a cure . But that does not mean it makes the beer is also useful as a medicinal drug .

The study authors said in a release , " Excessive consumption of beer can not be recommended for better health . Humulones Only isolated , following its derivatives , which may provide health benefits . "

Researchers discover molecular configuration of compound humulones by a process called X - ray crystallography , a technique that was developed in the early 20th century . Apparently, during the brewing process , the molecules of these compounds undergo rearrangements , namely a ring structure with five carbon atoms , instead of six .

By looking at the configuration of the molecule during the brewing process , the researchers were able to determine which molecules correspond with a bitter taste in beer . As a result , they can determine the atomic arrangement is most effective in treating the disease . It is important to remember the effectiveness of compounds in treating diseases .

" Now we get the right result , what happens when hops provide a bitter taste in the beer making process to be more reasonable , " said Werner Kaminsky , researcher and professor of chemistry University of Washington . The researchers could find a way to combine these molecules with other chemicals to make drugs , such as anti - diabetic drugs . But still need further research .

In Javanese culture, including dipaling pomegranate sought in the tradition of the seven months pregnant woman. In fact, if the pomegranates are consumed every day, we have a myriad of health benefits. Various scientific studies have shown.

One of the best known properties of the pomegranate is to protect the heart. One study showed that eating about 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily for three months membentu will reduce levels of bad cholesterol, increase blood flow to the heart in patients with coronary artery disease, reduce shrinkage arteries that supply the brain, as well as lowering blood pressure.

Pomegranates also contain cancer turns. Sweet red fruit and is known to make the cancer cells are destroyed or also called apoptosis process.

Laboratory studies show that pomegranate juice sweetened will not trigger apoptosis in cancer cells of the breast, prostate and colon by activation and the enzymes that regulate apoptosis genes.

The effectiveness of pomegranate caused by antioxidant pomegranate juice has three times more than green tea or red wine. As is well known antioxidants that fight free radicals that damage DNA can lead to cancer
