A new study has suggested that prostate cancer patients who take brisk walk on a regular basis fare better than those who do not.

It was reported by researchers that brisk walking not only reduces their risk for disease progression but also minimizes their chances of dying from the disease.

The finding builds on earlier research from the same group of scientists that had indicated that “vigorous physical activity” reduces the risk of dying from prostate cancer.

“Men who engaged in brisk walking, defined as three miles per hour or faster, after a diagnosis of clinically localized prostate cancer, had a reduced risk of prostate cancer progression compared to men who walked at an easy pace [less than two miles per hour],” said study author Erin L. Richman, a research associate in the department of epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of California, San Francisco.

“Men who engaged in three hours per week or more of brisk walking had the greatest benefit,” Richman added, “with a 57 percent lower risk of disease progression compared to men who walked less than three hours per week at an easy pace. These results were independent of clinical prognostic factors, dietary factors and lifestyle factors such as obesity and smoking.”

The report of Richman appears in the June 1 issue of Cancer Research.

If you have been experiencing greater loss of hair than ever before, it is time for you to act fast as what is today may not be tomorrow.

It is important for you to note that hair fall in women is caused by many factors including genetics, low iron levels, hormone imbalances, thyroid anomalies, poor nutrition, and pulling hair constantly when styling.

By including a few fruits and vegetables, you can actually improve quality of your hair and control hair loss to a significant extent.

Avocado is an excellent option for healthy and shiny hair as it includes fats, Vitamins (B, E, and K), and the highest fiber content.

Last but surely not the least, it is important for you to include sweet and sour cherries to your meals as they are good source of melatonin, flavonoids, copper, manganese, and perillyl alcohol that are second to none in promoting hair growth.

A new Canadian study has revealed that young children may have memories stretching back to late infancy, but these memories fade away as childhood proceeds.

It was suggested by the researchers that the reason behind this revelation was that very early memories of young children are fragile and vulnerable to forgetting.

From news.yahoo.com:

“Younger children’s earliest memories seemed to change, with memories from younger ages being replaced by memories from older ages,” said study leader Carole Peterson, professor of psychology at the university, in a news release from the Society for Research in Child Development. “But older children became more consistent in their memories as they grew older,” she said.

In essence, as children grow up and lose memories of their early years, they are losing part of their childhood, concluded Peterson. “So our ‘psychological childhood’ begins much later than our real childhood. And most or all of those events that previously were talked about, that caused laughter or tears, are no longer accessible if they occurred in our preschool years,” she added.

The study is published May 11 in the journal Child Development.

According to a study published on Monday, nitrogen compounds play an important role in feeding a rising world population but they also pollute air, soil and water, costing each person in Europe up to 740 euros ($1,066) a year.

The study estimated the annual cost of damage caused by nitrogen pollution across Europe was 70 billion to 320 billion euros.

From Reuters.com:

“Nearly, half the world’s population depends on synthetic, nitrogen-based fertilizer for food but measures are needed to reduce the impacts of nitrogen pollution,” said lead editor Mark Sutton of the UK’s Center for Ecology and Hydrology.

“Solutions include more efficient use of fertilizers and manures, and people choosing to eat less meat.”

Agriculture accounts for about 80 percent of nitrogen emissions. The livestock sector, including crops grown for animal feed, accounts for most of that.

It only, however, accounts for 40 percent of the cost as the nitrogen compounds produced through burning fossil fuels pose a greater threat to the environment.

The study was carried out by 200 experts from 21 countries and 89 organizations.
