Habits of bad sleep too late often make you feel tired and irritable. In addition, a poor night's sleep disorders for six consecutive times can also trigger the onset of diabetes and heart disease.

Professor Philippe Froguel of Imperial College London said, "Control of blood sugar is one of the many processes regulated by the body's biological clock," he said. One of the body's biological clock is sleeping. Disruption of the sleep process will impact on blood sugar control.

The new research related to sleep habits that held some time ago showed that the symptoms of diabetes has emerged as having trouble sleeping for three consecutive times. The results of this study was published by Nature Genetics then reported by Daily Mail.

Nature Genestics undertook this study to 20 thousand night-shift workers, and the results of the study, proved to night shift workers are prone to diabetes and heart disease. This research study found four gene variants are at risk for diabetes and heart disease.

We Are What We Eat

A healthy body is the dream of all people. A healthy body is a priceless treasure. Not a few people who want a healthy body but just sit on and just daydream. Do not want and never tried how to keep his body healthy and not sick. In fact, most of them do not know what the meaning of healthy, healthy and where it originated. Do you know where the health is beginning? Healthy beginning and start from our home kitchen.

Why say we started from the kitchen, not started from someone else the kitchen, or kitchen of food traders. Because someone else kitchen or kitchen of food traders we will not know in detail, what they cook, what they would mix into the food they sell. The more we consume food from the kitchens of others, the more we do not know what's going to affect our bodies.

Not a few of us who spend a huge cost just to beautify and adorn the kitchen of his house, but very little or nothing may be said, people who think about what healthy foods and beverages that will be made in the kitchen of his house.

From now, we should think to be able to create and produce food that is not only delicious but also healthy in body. Use various types of vegetables and fruits as well as existing natural spices. Vary of color and flavor.

The more we eat foods that are only good on the tongue, but rich in substances additives and poor nutrient, the sooner our bodies become worn and damaged. 80-90% of various forms of cancer is closely related to the food we consume daily. For that, be smart of choose healthy foods that are anti-carcinogenic.

The more we eat healthy foods, such as organic fruits and vegetables are rich in nutrients and fiber, the more our bodies are healthy too. It is not easy and not cheap to get healthy organic fruits and vegetables, but at least eat lots of vegetables and fruit from the market, it's still better than we do not eat at all. By the way washed thoroughly with running water for the rest of contamination of pesticides, herbicides or fungicides hope there could be lost.

Consume Bread may Increase Risk of Breast Cancer

Eating white bread and potatoes can increase the risk of developing breast cancer. As stated by scientists in a recent study conducted by the University of California, San Diego. A study found that people who follow a diet rich in starch (amylum) are more at risk for developing tumors than those who rarely consumed starch. The researchers have not been able to explain this trend. However, they assume that the increased levels of insulin-induced 'refined carbohydrates' such as starch that can stimulate cancer cell growth.


At first, women's intake of carbohydrates is 233 grams per day. Researchers looked at diet in women who experienced disease recurrence following year. Women whose disease relapses were generally increase intake of starches as much as 2.3 grams per day in the first year. Meanwhile, patients who did not experience a relapse generally reduce the intake of starch 2.7 grams per day.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK. This disease affects about 46,000 women every year. Carbohydrates are the most important fuel for the muscles and vital energy source for brain and central nervous system. Refined carbohydrates like bread contain more starch than from grains (like rice).
