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”.

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.
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 Health News, quoted from ISNA, Dr David E. McCarthy, one of the specialists from Health Sciences Center of Louisiana University in Shreveport and his assistants at the said University, pointed out: “Previous studies and fresh reviews confirm that decrease of level of Vitamin D in human body may be associated with sever sleepiness in daytime, directly or due to chronic pains.
Dr McCarthy stated on this case: “Although we have received there is a significant relationship between level of Vitamin D and sleepiness, mechanism of such relation is apparently more complicated than what we have imagined in the past”.
He further added: “At this stage, follow up of results of fresh studies and deeper examination on the said relation is of great importance. According to the said examinations, it was found that regarding the patients whose Vitamin D is at normal level at their body, an increase of feeling of sleepiness in daytime with decrease of level of Vitamin D are observed.
More details of the said tests have been presented in “Sleep Clinical Journal” accordingly.
