Some people looked at the ripe age of pregnancy is quite risky, but according to recent studies there are positive benefits of postponing pregnancy. The more mature age of a woman in childbirth, the lower the risk of cancer endometerial.

The conclusions resulting from large-scale study led by V.Wendy Setiawan, assistant professor of preventive medicine at the University of Southern California.

Setiawan collected data from 17 studies involving 8671 cases of endometrial cancer and 16 562 people in the control group. After considering the risk of common cancers, the researchers found that women who gave birth to her youngest child at the age of 40 years had a cancer risk 44 percent lower when compared with women who have babies before the age of 25 years.

Even women who gave birth at ages over 40 years the risk is lower. At the age of 70 years, these women are also at risk for endometrial cancer 33 percent lower.

The low risk is not known. But there are suggestions that women who give birth at a mature age that became pregnant with a healthy condition of the endometrium. Pregnancy or cause loss of precancerous cells that usually appear in middle age.

"There is a protective mechanism here, at least in certain types of cancer. If we can find out what the mechanism we will understand how this happened so that cancer can be prevented," said Dr.Setiawan.

The cost turned out to be a major factor why people are lazy to come to the dentist, rather than fear. Not only in developing countries, in developed countries even if the reasons are still too expensive to be a reason.

This is among others reflected in the oral health survey conducted in the United States. About 4 in 10 respondents said that cost a fortune to be the reason why they are not at the dentist when suffering from toothache or tooth loss in the last six months. In second place was the fear factor.

Survey conducted in 2008 of adults aged 18-64 years was three-quarters of respondents said having good dental health, 17 percent is good enough, and 7 percent of the poor health of his teeth.

The results also revealed that diabetes is a group having the worst dental health than men of the same age group but did not have diabetes.

Due to cost considerations, then those who come from low income families have poorer dental health. Similarly, low-educated people tend to have worse dental health.

We've all heard that too much coffee can be bad for you, but there is also evidence to suggest that coffee may help manage your mood. Caffeine will activate brain chemicals like dopamine and serotonin which can improve mood, thus providing a major boost when you need it. Recent studies have even found that women who drank two to three cups of coffee per day had a 15 percent lower risk of depression. However, researchers do not recommend drinking more than one cup a day, while those who never drank coffee advised not to start it a try.

2. Drinking beer


Perhaps many people will be pleased to hear that drinking beer good for heart. Beer contains antioxidants to nourish and strengthen bones because of its rich mineral content of silicon. Black beer contains much iron and can also help increase good cholesterol. To get the benefit of researchers suggests drinking one beer per day (or less).

3. Chewing gum


Habit of chewing gum can help improve short-and long-term memory (although researchers are not sure why this happened). But one thing is for sure, chewing gum can help you lose a little weight by helping you feel fuller. Make sure you choose a sugar-free gum to protect teeth from decay.

4. Not taking vitamins


Do not worry if you forget to take a multivitamin for a day or two. Research has shown that people who take vitamins most diligent actually have unhealthy habits. Received a daily multivitamin on a regular basis will not make you avoid the disease, should focus on yourself to get the vitamin through a healthy diet.

5. Skipping exercise


Do not blame yourself just because you spend time training for one or two days. In fact, you only need to exercise three or four days per week to stay in shape. Try to stay active every day, while taking time off on the sidelines of a solid workout routine. This allows the body to regenerate damaged muscles and recharge.

6. Lazed


Try to waste time and do something that makes you laugh, like reading or watching a funny comic comedy show on TV. Results of research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine found that when people are relaxed and watching a funny movie, their blood vessels dilated by more than 50 percent than watching a suspenseful movie. Laughter also triggers unhealthy chemicals that help ease the pain and make you feel better.

7. Time spent online


According to BBC News, using the internet to activate the brain involved in decision-making and complex reasoning. Surfing the internet can help certain areas of the brain to improve function and develop your reasoning skills.

8. Angry


Although anger is closely related to the risk of depression, but emotion is not entirely bad. In fact, anger can actually help you make better decisions, control the situation and be more efficient in dealing with some issues. Research has shown that anger can reduce the negative effects of stress, which increases heart rate and hormone release. Think of it as angry as a way for your body to release stress in a healthy way.

9. Cry


Crying can make yourself more loose and allow yourself to be realistic about the actual conditions rather than continue to try to keep going all the time. One study found that newlyweds who are trying to stay positive do not care about the plight that has befallen him likely to experience symptoms of depression in later life.
