Consuming oil fish supplements reduces respective effects of air pollution.
Considering a study contracted earlier, it has been revealed that consuming oil fish supplements reduces the effects of air pollution on heart.
As reported by Environmental Health News website, air pollution is a combination of gases and particles of solid and liquid matters.
Billion individuals all over the world live in the places with severe air pollution.
Study of the people who are exposed to air pollution has revealed that existing micropollutants in air lead to various health problems such as asthma, cerebral stroke, arrhythmia and cardiac failure.
It is assumed that existing micropollutants in air cause level of lipid of body be changed. Moreover, there are different evidences confirming that the said micropollutants also increase risk of cardiovascular diseases and mortalities caused by the same.
This is the first study, which is contracted on the relationship between consuming oil fish supplements and retraction of the effects of air on heart. It is revealed that slight changes in daily diet may nullify some effects of air pollution on health.
Achievements of the said study are of great importance for the people who live in certain places of the world where severe air pollution exists.
The said study revealed that heartbeats and level of lipid of the individuals, who have consumed oil fish supplements for one month and exposed to air pollution have shown slight changes. Heartbeats and level of lipid are regarded as two scales for measurement of heart health.
In the aforesaid study, researchers divided 29 persons of 50-70 years old into two groups. One group was given olive oil supplement and another group was provided with fish oil supplement respectively.
The said persons live in the environment with severe air pollution.
The aforesaid individuals enjoyed perfect health and had no past diabetes, cardiovascular or pulmonary disorders. Moreover, the aforesaid persons didn’t smoke for at least one year.
According to the aforesaid study, after they were exposed to severe level of air pollution, heartbeats of the individuals who have consumed olive oil fish supplements have noticeably been decreased.
Moreover, researchers found that respective group, which has consumed olive oil, level of two kinds of lipids in the blood have increased after they were exposed to air pollution. While such increase has not been sensible in the group that has consumed fish oil supplements.
This is the first study revealing that consuming oil fish may reduce symptoms of cardiovascular disorders due to exposure to polluted air. The results of the said study are more reliable evidence, compared to other studies, which have been done in the said field so far, with respect to role of fish oil in reducing cardiovascular complications arising from air pollution.
The said achievements are of great importance for the people who live in cities and places where quality of air is undesirable.
Fish oil is full of unsaturated fatty acids of Omega 3, which prevents decrease of heartbeats due to exposure to polluted air, as it is said.
Decrease of heartbeats is associated with death and development of arrhythmia.
The results of the said study reveal that consuming fish oil capsules as a personal measure may be regarded as a cost-effective strategy for health protection.
Enjoyment of a comfort and continuous sleep at night is necessary for refreshment, soothing the nerves, cheerfulness and health. All individuals at different age groups are recommended sleep 7-8 hours at night during 24 hours. Insomnia causes such diseases as hypertension, cardiac disorder, depression and obesity.

Urinary infection: A nightmare for women
Infection of urinary tract is one of the most prevalent bacterial infections among women. According to statistics, almost half of women have experienced infection of urinary tract at least once in their lifetime. Many of such women also develop recurrent infections as well. In fact, bladder infection (cystic) is responsible for 95% urinary infections with clinical symptoms. The factor, which causes bladder infection is E.Coli Bacterium and in 5-15% bacterial cases, the said bacterium is “Staphlococcus Saprophyticus”. From among predisposing factors for emergence of urinary tract infection, the following items may be pointed out:
1. Sexual intercourse
2. Pregnancy
3. Lack of estrogen due to menopause of hysterectomy
4. Urinary tract occlusion due to tumors or calculi in the said tract
5. Incomplete discharge of bladder due to neurologic problems such as cerebral stroke, myelin injuries and diabetes
6. Remain of urine in bladder due to vesicocele, bladder prolapse
From among common symptoms of urinary tract infection, we may point out dysuria, frequent urination, urinary urgency and fever in some cases.
Backache and joint pains are our uncomfortable experiences for us. Nowadays, due to incorrect sitting position and work with computer long hours and unpreparedness of body muscles, the youth and middle age persons are at risk of said complications in such a way as 80% individuals refer to a physician at least once during our lifetime for treatment of low back pain. Moreover, obesity and diet of slight quantities of antioxidants expose us to chronic inflammatory diseases more than before.
Diagnosis of physicians is different based on joints involved and severity of inflammation. In most cases, arthrosis is the main problem among middle age and aged people. The said complication is accompanied by atrophy in morning. The problem of arthritis more occurs among young ladies. It starts on wrists more and then, other joints are involved accordingly. Hot and inflamed joints are evident symptoms of such complication.
Relief of backache and joint pains do need rest and observing some kinetic movements in order to prevent recurrence. In order to relief pain, physicians usually prescribe anti-inflammatory and non-steroid drug or glucocorticoids. However, patients are aware about side-effects of the said medicines including osteoporosis, gastric bleeding, they scare receiving the said medicines, seeking for a more safe and harmless ways for prevention of their pains. Meanwhile, using oral supplements and respective compounds, achieved from herbs, are among the cases, which are more reliable and highly appreciated by the patients, suffering from the said chronic complications.
But, which herbs may act pain relief and be effective in subsiding pain?
In the modern world, scientists believed in nature once again. They are thinking of clearing and separating panacea from the nature. From among extracts effective on subsiding joint pains and as inflammation, we may name Boswellia. The extract of the said herb enjoys anti-inflammatory property and is effective for subsiding pain for 200-400 mg , used three times every day. The extract of the said herb is also used for treatment of arthrosis and Arthritis and also improve movement ability and flexibility of joints, which are among the effects of consuming the said extract. No study has been done among pregnant and breast-feeding women with respect to consuming the said herb. The said extract is not recommended for the said group.
From among herbal extract of which usage dates back to civilization of Egypt and Ancient Rome, used as refrigerant and pain relief, we can point out skin of willow tree. Manuscripts about willow tree skin dates date back to 3500 years. Many ancient physicians namely Socrates recommended the said panacea as relief for rheumatic pains. Later, the effective purified matter of the said herb was called “Salicin”. The relief effect of Salicin on pain among the patients suffering from backache, arthrosis of pelvis and knee has been confirmed through different studies. Despite the fact that anti-pain effect of the willow tree skin is attributed to Salicin, there are still other compounds in the willow trea skin including Tanons and Flavonoids, which have a part in subsiding pain. The said compound by the patients, with past allergy to Aspirin and gastric ulcer must be used cautiously.
Another extract of a well-known herb is Corcomina, which is taken from turmeric. Turmeric is a kind of spice, which is used all over the world, especially in Asia and India in cooking as a spice. Corcomina, taken from turmeric has success effects as anti-cellular replacement, prohibiting generation of inflammatory mediums and prohibiting degenerative enzymes of joints such as Collagenase, Elastase and Hyaluronidase. The said extract shows useful and valuable effects among the patients, suffering from arthrosis and other diseases such as cardiac disorders, diabetes, and auto-immune disorders.
Due to their antioxidant property, vitamins and minerals may also show noticeable anti-inflammatory effects, subsiding joint inflammation. Moreover, some vitamins such as Vitamin C and minerals namely copper play undeniable role in restoration and regeneration of cartilage.
It seems that seeking in nature is an appropriate response to all pains. It is only required to ask nature so that it will reflect replies to our questions.
The first three months of gestation age is the most significant section of the said critical period because during said period, changes occur quickly and it is necessary to provide required nutrients for the said changes. This period usually coincides with the time when most pregnant women lacks appetite or suffer from nausea ors it is mostly known. However, it is really important for pregnant women eat a variety of foods and receive different kinds of foodstuffs. During this period, huge quantity of sugar, white bread and mashed potato are harmful for pregnant women because the said foodstuffs are quickly changed to sugar. Instead, eating vegetables, nuts and barriers are very useful for such woman. Here, we introduce one of foodstuffs, of which eating is very useful in the first three months of pregnancy period: Almond. What is provided for you through supplements namely Folic Acid for prevention of congenital defects Almond shall naturally provide the same accordingly. During said period, eating 20 almonds every day by pregnant women is recommended. Raw almonds are much more desirable compared to roasted almond. However, if you buy roasted almond, you must become sure that they are fresh. You must always have and eat almonds as snack when you are hungry.
From among nutritious recommendations for reducing risk of urinary infection, we may point out drinking sufficient quantities of water every day. One of the ways, which has been proved for decrease of infection, is to make bladder area becomes acidy. Some foodstuffs may help us in this regard. One of the herbs, which had been used for control of urinary infection among American Indians, prior to discovery and protraction of antibiotics, was Cranberry. The said plant is originated from North America. Cranberry is enriched with Vitamin C, Flavonoids, Citric Acid and Benzoic Acid. Various studies have designated the effect of the Cranberry in prevention of urinary infection in the individuals, who vulnerable against recurrent infections. However, they didn’t limit the said effect only by change in acidity of the urinary tract. According to studies contracted earlier, extent of change in acidity of urinary tract after receiving berry is trivial. However, mechanism of the effect of the said fruit in reducing risk of infections is focused on prevention the bacterium to be connected and stuck to mucous membrane. The said antibacterial property of Cranberry is attributed existence of fructose and Proantocianidine in extract of the said herb. The desirable effect of Cranberry is to prevent reoccurrence of recurrent urinary tract infection among women, confirmed by American Gynecologists Association. In addition to prevention of said infection, the said compound is also used during treatment period in order to expedite recovery process of infection of urinary tract. It should be noted that no intervention has been reported yet with respect to consuming the said compound with antibiotics, affecting treatment of urinary infections. Consequently, Cranberry can be used together with common antibiotics for treatment of urinary infections with peace of mind. The said compound may be reused after recovery for prevention of such infection as well.
In addition to using Cranberry, from among other concerning points about prevention of urinary infection are frequent urination and not preventing discharge for a long period. Using herbal compounds of diuretic property may be helpful for prevention of aggregation of bacteria in urinary tract and eventually prevention of infection. For example, Bearberry and Golden Rod enjoy diuretic property and are helpful for property urinating and clearing urinary tract.
As reported by Mehr, making brain scans of the individuals, who were under traditional Chinese medical treatment, scientists have found that acupuncture closes penetrating paths of pain to body. Researchers from York University indicated that this new discovery has presented tangible and scientific proofs with respect to specific effect of acupuncture on brain. This may lead to more desirable perception of operation of this traditional medicine. As it is said by researchers, when a patient receives specific treatments of acupunctures, a special feeling named “Deqi” is created in his body. Analyses of scientists reveal that the said feeling inactivates certain parts of brain, which is associated with pain processing.
Practicing two Japanese and Chinese methods of acupuncture on participants have revealed that from among 10 out 17 candidates have felt Deqi and their pain has relieved. As it is said by the Japanese researchers, Chinese used to practice acupuncture for treatment of a number of diseases two thousand years ago.
