The researchers studied more than 14,000 women from the age of 20 until 83 years from 1970 to 2001, they categorize these women based on their level of physical activity and fitness. The study showed that the fair sex by physical activity and poor fitness are at risk of breast cancer is three times greater than women who have high physical activity.

Dr. Steve Blair, one of the researchers as well as chairman of the American College of Sports Medicine says “women with low physical activity in these studies has a risk of breast cancer is higher than at the higher physical activity. And to improve cardiovascular fitness is not expensive, it only takes the increase in physical activity such as walking, running, climbing stairs and other inexpensive exercises.

Typical of female hormones, namely estrogen and progesterone have a very important role in the female reproductive system, but estrogen and progesterone also stimulates breast cells to proliferate and stimulates the cells genetic mutations that increase the risk of cancer cell formation. Physical activity levels of middle and high in young age are besides able to lose weight can also reduce the excessive production of two hormones, which ultimately will reduce the risk of breast cancer.

Good news comes from the results of studies conducted over 10 years by researchers from Harvard University. In the study of experts to compare the data of 712 women had breast cancer with 712 women who were free of cancer.

Among women will enter menopause, those who eat foods with vitamin B-12 high, it turns out the risk of breast cancer had dropped to 63 percent. Unfortunately the benefits of vitamin B-12 were not seen in many groups of menopausal women. But those who take vitamin B-6 risk is reduced by 34 percent.

Folic acid is also another weapon to fight breast cancer, especially for women who daily drank 15 grams or a glass of alcohol every day. For those in this group folic acid effective to reduce the risk of cancer that is associated with alcohol consumption.

The women in this study to get your intake of vitamins that come from a combination of natural foods and supplements. They consume 3 milligrams of vitamin B-6, 8 milligrams of vitamin B-12, and 423 micrograms of foliate every day.

Source of vitamin D is from foods such as cereals, orange, or orange juice. For folic acid, get from green vegetables, nuts, fortified bread, cereals, or pasta.

“The risk of resistance appears more common in people taking oseltamivir for prevention purposes after the close and although the infected patients taking oseltamivir,” the UN official explained in a statement.

Oseltamivir is commonly known by the trade name Tamiflu is the drug recommended by WHO to deal with the A-H1N1 flu. The UN says that 12 of 28 cases of Tamiflu resistance is associated with the use intended for the prevention.

Six other cases of resistance occurred in patients with severe immunosuppression and four occurred due to use of Tamiflu for treatment.

Two further cases of resistance were identified in people who do not use Tamiflu as either prevention or treatment, clearly the WHO, which then stated that there was another alternative antiviral drug Relenza product of GlaxoSmithKline.

Overall, the number of cases this resistance are “sporadic and not often”. Generally, the WHO does not recommend the use of antiviral drugs for prevention purposes.

Of course, for those who contracted the flu and those who suffer from certain diseases that complications of high risk of contracting, the choice is to alleviate the existing symptoms, how to take existing drugs that do not develop symptoms become severe, WHO officials said

Actually there’s nothing wrong with the claim of a supplement or a multivitamin on a variety of complete formulas had. The reason, several types of supplements and vitamins do have multiple benefits that have been scientifically proven.

An example is the green tea. According to various studies, green tea merit to prevent various types of cancer, protect the heart, inhibits the growth of bacteria, fight tooth decay, and work as antioxidants to increase the body’s immune system. A row of these benefits attract the attention of researchers to seek to identify the active component in green tea.

Initially, drugs were only made for one purpose, such as the relief of pain. However, after a lot of people taking the drug and feel the benefits for other illnesses, then another benefit are investigated. In this case the most appropriate example is aspirin.

Drugs derived from willow bark in the first place are used to treat headaches. However, later revealed that the active substance acetyl salicylic acid from aspirin can also be developed to cope with arthritis pain, analgesic (pain relief), prevent heart disease, reduce the risk of colon cancer, to deal with osteoporosis.

1. Quercetin products: apples, onions, broccoli, tomatoes
Quercetin is one of the thousands of flavonoids, substances that give color to plants, and provide health benefits. According to La Puma, in a study that applied to mice, exhaustive exercise increases the potential for flu, but quercetin can defeat the negative effects. In another study involving cyclists, conducted by Appalachian State University in Boone, NC, quercetin is believed to help prevent the disease thanks to anti-inflammatory ingredients.
2. Chicken soup
This is not just a suggestion. Chicken soup actually has the ability to heal, according to La Puma. A bowl of soup can reduce nasal mucus or phlegm in the throat, and makes it easier to remove it. La Puma also said that chicken soup is more effective than the use of hot water. To get the health benefits and other anti-inflammatory properties, it is advisable to make chicken soup with vegetables instead of buying products packaged soups sold in supermarkets or just cooked with chicken.
3. Green tea
According to WebMD.com site, green tea provides a number of health benefits, from fighting the flu, cancer, and heart disease, and lower cholesterol, burn fat; prevent diabetes and stroke, and dementia. “Green tea has antiviral activity against influenza,” said La Puma, referring to the study of Dr. Rath Research Institute in Santa Clara, CA, and Department of Biotechnology, College of Engineering, Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea. White tea and green tea contains catechin levels (save the ability of flavonoids antivirus) which is higher than black tea or oolong tea. Black and oolong tea contain catechins did, and higher than green tea in the other polyphenols. So, in addition to being the second choice in the fight against flu, two types of this tea is good for general health.
4. Foods that contain vitamin D: salmon, tuna, sardines, milk, and cereal
A study conducted in the 1940s showed that rats that received a low vitamin D foods more susceptible to experimental infection of swine flu than they receive enough vitamin D. This research has not proven in humans, but La Puma and other experts believe that getting enough vitamin D may provide protection against swine flu. Vitamin is believed to cause the production of antimicrobial substances in the body.
Among the various types of foods that contain vitamin D, according to La Puma is the best source of salmon. Roast salmon can maintain the vitamin content. While cooking oily fish is best to steam and boil, rather than frying. Storing fish in oil (such as sardines) also allows the content of omega-3 and vitamin D it survive. By itself, remove the oil from canned fish also vitamin D will eliminate it.
5. Yogurt and kefir with bacteria that are still active
One blog post in Epicurious, Fight off the Flu with Delicious Yogurt Recipes, discusses a study that says that probiotics-good bacteria found in yogurt and some other foods can reduce flu symptoms. According to La Puma, probiotics has been shown to reduce fever, cough, and runny nose up to 73, 62, and 59 percent in children aged 3-5 years. La Puma suggested, when buying yogurt and kefir, be sure to label the packaging says “Live and Active Cultures” and the consumption of other foods ferment. Foods such as kimchi, sauerkraut provide both types of different bacteria, and certainly different benefits.
6. Pungent spices, or fruit with vitamin C
Spicy herb not only helps clean the sinuses, but also a source of vitamin C, which has been shown to reduce the occurrence of pneumonia, followed by the flu. Contain vitamins and encourage the production of antiviral antibodies, clear La Puma. If you can not stand spicy, replace with fruit, enriched with vitamin C, such as guava, oranges, strawberries, cantaloupe, and papaya.
