From the Editor Dearest readers, MAY 2017 Editor in Chief PROF. ABDULAZIZ KAMAL AL-EMADI Chief Executive ABDULRAHMAN ABDULAZIZ AL-EMADI Managing Editor BUTHAINA ABDUL JALIL Operations Manager AMR AL JARHI Commercial Manager FADI AL KAYSSI English Editor MELANIE BERTAUD It is with great pleasure that we bring you this latest issue of Health and Life, packed with articles we hope you will find useful in empowering you to take charge of your health. Fitness is hugely important and yet most of us do not have time in our busy lives to fit in a long workout. We bring you the scoop on the latest fitness trend that requires less than ten minutes a day. And because many of us carry the stresses of our day-to-day in our shoulders, we’ve got three great exercises to loosen up your muscles. When it comes to diet, it isn’t just the type of foods you eat, but how you choose to cook them that makes a difference. We examine the best ways to prepare food to get the most nutrition out of it. This month we shine the spotlight on the many healing benefits of cardamom. We’ve also got some quick and easy recipes to inspire you in the kitchen and tantalize your tastebuds. As always, we have canvassed the latest in health research to bring you the most helpful information. We hope you will enjoy reading this issue as much as we enjoyed creating it for you. Warmest regards, Editor-in-Chief Prof. Abdulaziz Kamal Design WWW.UPPERCUT.AGENCY
LATEST NEWS AND RESEARCH YOUR TWEETS MAY PREDICT YOUR DIETING SUCCESS NO DIET DAY – 6 TH MAY 2017 According researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, your diet success or failure can be predicted, at over 70% accuracy, by the types of things you post on Twitter. The study group consisted of people who had connected their Twitter account and My Fitness Pal (a calorie counting app). Researchers found that those who favored positive and motivational posts were more likely to be successful in their diet. These users tended to have a large network of friends and followers, and therefore a strong support system. They were also more likely to report on their progress, and share healthy recipes and fitness tips. On the other hand, researchers found that users whose Twitter accounts showed more negative and anxious posts were not successful in meeting their diet goals. This analysis shows us the importance of a positive mindset in setting new healthy habits. So if you’re trying to lose weight, dieting is only part of the solution: you need a positive mindset too! OMEGA 3 FISH OIL HELPS FIGHT ASTHMA WORLD ASTHMA DAY – 2 ND MAY 2017 Scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center have found that supplementing high quality Omega 3 fish oil can help treat asthma. They found that Omega 3 fatty acids can reduce the production of antibodies that cause allergic reactions and asthma in those with mild asthma. They also discovered that in patients with severe asthma, the corticosteroids taken to treat the condition blocked the antiinflammatory effects of Omega 3. While steroids are effective in treating asthma and its symptoms, they fail to address the underlying cause, and in some cases can even reduce the body’s natural ability to fight asthma-related inflammation. Once ingested, Omega 3 fatty acids turn into mediators and stop inflammation without suppressing the immune system. Lead study author Professor R. Phipps stressed that not all fish oils are the same, and people should take care to buy high quality Omega 3 oils. Omega 3 fatty acids can also be found in flax seeds, oily fish, and walnuts. A NEW WAY TO TREAT HIV/AIDS? WORLD AIDS VACCINE DAY – 18 TH MAY 2017 Researchers at the University of Nebraska have used a new technology called LASER ART (long-acting slow effective release antiretroviral therapy) to discover a way to store drugs directly into cells. This discovery enables conventional drugs that usually need to be taken daily into once-a-month dosing. Getting people to take medication every day can be difficult and significantly reduces patients’ quality of life. LASER ART enables the drug crystals to reach destinations in deep tissues and blood, and protects the drug from being metabolized by the liver and excreted. This new formulation of injectable drug opens up a storage area inside cells where the drug can be maintained and used by the body over a longer period of time, thus extending the intervals between medication dosing. This in turn could bring the medicine in parts of the body where it is most needed, and accelerate the clearance of the virus. The new discovery could revolutionize current treatment for HIV/AIDS by extending the actions of anti-viral medicines. 3 MAY 2017
