Cancer risk is apparently greater among overweight or obese individuals
Individuals maintaning ahealthy diet may often be dependent on fruits and vegetables to fulfill their portion of nutrients. It now seems that consumption of fruits and vegetables does not interfere with cancer risk. A latest study claims that intake of fruits and vegetables does not decline chances of developing cancer.
At the time of the study, scientists aimed to highlight a probable correlation between fruit and vegetables and the development of cancer. It appeared that only diet-related factors such as obesity and alcohol affect cancer risk. In fact tobacco is considered as the single biggest cause of cancer. The benefits of eating fruit and vegetables are known since ages, but whether it protects against cancer or no is still under covers. Cancer risk is apparently greater among overweight or obese individuals and those drinking more alcohol than the recommended daily limits.
Sara Hiom, director of health information at Cancer Research UK,added, “Too few people know about the significant cancer risks associated with obesity and drinking too much alcohol". While stopping smoking remains the best way to cut your chances of developing cancer, the importance of keeping a healthy weight and cutting down on alcohol shouldn’t be overlooked. Keeping alcohol intake to a maximum of one small drink a day for women and two small drinks per day for men and keeping weight within the healthy limits can have an enormous impact.”
Authors were supposedly able to gauge a strong link between cancer and smoking, overweight and alcohol. It seems that overweight people develop higher levels of certain hormones than healthy individuals. Therefore, these hormones may increase threat of being diagnosed with cancer. Alcohol on the other hand, possibly produces a chemicalthat hampers cells, raising the risk of mouth, throat, breast, bowel and liver cancers. It was concluded that in spite of its benefits, eating fruits and vegetables does not alter cancer risk.
The study was published in the British Journal of Cancer.

Flush Out Your Toxins with Sauna / Steam
When toxic metals and chemical food additives get inside your body, it takes a strong cleanser to scrub your body clean from the inside out. Natural cleansing is critical to remove body toxins, and protects from re-depositing them somewhere else in the body.Toxins such as lead, mercury, and the side effects of aspartame’s by-products of formic acid and formaldehyde, block nutrients from getting into normal body cells.
Researches has been done to confirm that the best and most effective method is by sweating out toxins via Sauna Therapy! After all, sweat contains more toxins than urine alone.
Sweating Out Toxins for Clear Skin : Detoxification should include some type of skin cleansing, because our skin it one of our best eliminative organs. Heavy metals are actually released through the skin’s pores when we sweat.
Sauna baths and steam rooms are great for removing toxins from the skin and regenerating one’s health and energy. It has been documented that our skin’s sweat glands when combined can perform as much detoxification as one (or both) kidneys.
Therefore, it is very important to support our skin for detoxification to be maximal. If our kidneys are damaged, then helping the skin will help the kidneys … indirectly, but effectively. This again supports the theory that flushing out toxins via Sauna Therapy is indeed the most effective way in getting rid of years of accumulated toxins!

Wiihabilitation Research: Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Using Wii Gaming ...
Wiihabilitation Research: Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Using Wii Gaming ...: "Stroke. 2010 May 27."\
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Hemiparesis resulting in functional limitation of an upper extremity is common among stroke survivors. Although existing evidence suggests that increasing intensity of stroke rehabilitation therapy results in better motor recovery, limited evidence is available on the efficacy of virtual reality for stroke rehabilitation. METHODS: In this pilot, randomized, single-blinded clinical trial with 2 parallel groups involving stroke patients within 2 months, we compared the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of virtual reality using the Nintendo Wii gaming system (VRWii) versus recreational therapy (playing cards, bingo, or "Jenga") among those receiving standard rehabilitation to evaluate arm motor improvement. The primary feasibility outcome was the total time receiving the intervention. The primary safety outcome was the proportion of patients experiencing intervention-related adverse events during the study period. Efficacy, a secondary outcome measure, was evaluated with the Wolf Motor Function Test, Box and Block Test, and Stroke Impact Scale at 4 weeks after intervention. RESULTS: Overall, 22 of 110 (20%) of screened patients were randomized. The mean age (range) was 61.3 (41 to 83) years. Two participants dropped out after a training session. The interventions were successfully delivered in 9 of 10 participants in the VRWii and 8 of 10 in the recreational therapy arm. The mean total session time was 388 minutes in the recreational therapy group compared with 364 minutes in the VRWii group (P=0.75). There were no serious adverse events in any group. Relative to the recreational therapy group, participants in the VRWii arm had a significant improvement in mean motor function of 7 seconds (Wolf Motor Function Test, 7.4 seconds; 95% CI, -14.5, -0.2) after adjustment for age, baseline functional status (Wolf Motor Function Test), and stroke severity. CONCLUSIONS: VRWii gaming technology represents a safe, feasible, and potentially effective alternative to facilitate rehabilitation therapy and promote motor recovery after stroke.
