Baik dan buruknya minum kopi

Ada berita baik dan berita buruk buat para penggemar kopi yang menghabiskan waktu bekerja sampai malam hari dengan 1-3 cangkir kopi.

Diabetes mellitus

Diabetes mellitus often simply diabetes is a syndrome characterized by disordered metabolism and inappropriately high blood sugar (hyperglycaemia) resulting from either low levels of the hormone insulin or from abnormal resistance to insulin's effects coupled with inadequate levels of insulin secretion to compensate.The characteristic symptoms are excessive urine production (polyuria), excessive thirst and increased fluid intake (polydipsia), and blurred vision; these symptoms may be absent if the blood sugar is mildly elevated.

Type 1 diabetes is usually due to autoi...

Train Your Brain

Exercise isn't just for stronger muscles—it can also sharpen your brain. A new study published in the journal Neurology examined the effects of exercise on brain deterioration of Alzheimer's patients. The researchers found physically fit patients with mild cognitive impairment had less brain shrinkage than those who weren't as fit. Previous studies showed exercise improves thinking and memory, in people with normal brain activity, by boosting blood flow and elevating growth hormones, the scientists said. The new findings extend this connection to people with Alzheimer's. So add a better brain to the long list of exercise's tangential health benefits. Breaking a sweat can also strengthen your heart, help prevent cancer, and disease-proof your body, to name a few. Start to bullet-proof your body today with our weekend warrior training plan.
