Article Highlight: Caffeine and exercise may help prevent skin cancer

To all coffee addicts: this is one of benefits of drinking coffee!

As a regular coffee drinker myself, coffee is a daily fuel in the morning which kick start my day. Therefore, my eyes are alway in the look out for any articles that write about the benefits or harms of drinking coffee. This article is about a study on how Caffeine and exercise may help prevent skin cancer.

The study is conducted on the three groups of mices, one group of hairless mice drank caffeinated water, another exercised on a running wheel and a third group drank and ran on the wheel, and all three groups are exposed to cell damaging UVB radiation. Study shows that the group which drank caffeine and excercised has a highest rate of killing of DNA-damaged cells as compared to other groups. In addition, just by drinking coffee alone it will reduce the risk of liver cancer and breast cancer too.

What does this study tell you ?

Drink More Coffee and Excerise More NOW !

For those people out there like me who needs to drink coffee and excerise daily, this is piece of good new to continue our diet!

Article Highlight: Diet, sugary sodas alike linked to heart disease factors

As I was browsing through the health news at googles news,  this article, Diet, sugary sodas alike linked to heart disease factors , caught my attention. It’s about a research on people who drink sodas (soft drink) raise risk of metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is related to health problem likes - high blood pressure, low levels of “good” cholesterol etc, which is linked to developing heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

Its doesn’t matter how many soft drinks you consume a day or what type of soft drink. There is still a RISK  !

Although the American Beverage Association carry out another study which proves that there is no link between soft drinks and increased risk of heart disease. But I WOULDN’T RISK my health for it. Would you ? 

So think Twice or Thrice before consuming your next can of soft drink!
