Mid-Afternoon Naps May Reduce Heart Disease


Hey! Don’t feel guilty the next time you fall asleep at work. That mid-afternoon nap could be good for your health, according to the largest study to date on the health effects of napping on over 26,000 Greek men who were followed for six years. Now, according to their findings, a little mid-day snooze seems to reduce risks for fatal heart problems. Those who napped at least three times a week for 30 minutes, they had a 37% lower risk of dying from heart attacks or other heart problems than those who did not nap. A daytime siesta, or nap, is popular in many cultures, especially those in warmer climates. Mediterranean-style eating habits featuring fruit, vegetable, beans and olive oil have been credited with contributing to relatively low rates of heart disease when combined with these naps. Interesting study. For more information, click onto www.MyMedicalReports.com.

Healthy Eating for Cancer Prevention

If you had to pick one way to reduce your risk of getting cancer, it would be not smoking cigarettes. But what if you’re not a smoker? What’s the next best step for you? Well, according to a report from a recent cancer meeting, you should watch your diet. Meals consisting of fruits and vegetables and soy are excellent defense. Work at the University of California Los Angeles has isolated two chemicals. One called dindolemethane or DIM and another called, isoflavone, that’s found in vegetables and soy, that can reduce the production of dangerous proteins that can lead to cancer. The bottom line? You don’t have to worry about chemical’s names. Just remember this. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. That’s what’s going to make a real big difference. If you follow it, it will work out for you.
