Professor of the Universitat Autonoma of Barcelona (UAB) Dr. Ignasi Roig, participated with a group of researchers in the discovery of the physiological role protein p53, which could protect our body from cancer.

Protein, works by avoiding the outbreak of mutations, characteristic of tumors and deactivating this function, eliminate the tumor extension process. In short, it is able to slow down the normal process of cancer. the protein p53 is known as the guardian of the genome because it is essential to maintain its integrity by preventing the accumulation of mutations, originating either by own machinery to the cell, by the action of agents external to it. The protein is activated in response to certain signals, such as breaks in the DNA.

The results are very relevant, because they help to better understand the function of this protein essential for stopping tumor progression and therefore they could open the door to new approaches in the study of cancer.

the team of Professor Richard Watt, of the University College of London, came to this conclusion after following the habits of about 12,000 people, men and women, with an average age of 50. That proved, that those people who took care of their dental hygiene, had fewer problems with cardiac.

The team believes that it is because the bacteria that cause inflammations in the mouth is carried by the bloodstream and just blocking the arteries. Who brush at least twice a day therefore reduced by 70% the risk of heart disease. they found, among other things that periodontal disease (infection and inflammation of the gums) is associated with an increase of 19% of the risk of future cardiovascular disease, so it is important to maintain good oral health.

In addition, according to research, future studies will be needed to confirm whether the association between dental health and cardiovascular disease can be considered a cause or just a marker of risk.

anxiety disorders and other mental nature are most common in our society. SOMO homo ansiosus, there is no doubt, and lifestyle that pushes us our environment and the system in which we live makes our brain is more and more stressed, and finishes by saying “ enough ”.

The figures are more disappointing: in five years will be 20 people every hundred that will be exposed to suffering from anxiety attacks (such as minimum one year), and in ten years the percentage will rise to 25, representing a quarter of the population world.

to be more specific, we can say that people more likely to suffer an attack from these characteristics are found between 25 and 35 years of age. There is the fact that in every hundred affected, forty-eight are men and fifty-two women.

That Yes, the percentages that you indicated for industrialized countries, where the consumer society and the labour system as well as the personal demands, they are the perfect breeding ground for situations of stress.

How can we avoid becoming victims of this disease?It is difficult to give definitive recipes, but what is certain is that a good diet, a successful planning of time, the Organization of tasks, not be a slave to work and put affordable targets are good ideas to improve our mental health.

put on a diet, especially when the warm weather arrives, is rather logical if we want to lose a few pounds more. While it is normal that we consultemos with our doctor to make sure we take a balanced diet, it is also true that there are very effective diets that provide all the necessary nutrients and make us lose some kilos.

Now why we sometimes follow a diet and fail to lose weight? It can be for many reasons, but sometimes the fault is ours. Unconsciously we make mistakes that can be reversed with the desired loss of those pounds more …

for example, the custom of lay too much salt to food;It is better to get used to eat without it or replace it with spices or herbs salts. We must also control we drink more than one litre of water per day;otherwise, most likely not remove toxins, fluids and fat us leftover.

Not should eat plenty, then to the “ penance ” of fast for a long time. This behavior promotes anxiety, which makes that we eat twice, and also dangerous eating disorders.

Do without fruit with its supply of water and fiber, thinking that sugar is not fattening and not to replace it with sweetener or dress the salads in excess (total, are so light …) are other serious errors when making diet. Consume dairy integers, cured cheeses and improvise menus do the rest.
