"Menu Correio da Manhã + Sub-categorias 3 EXCLUSIVOS PORTUGAL DESPORTO OPINIÃO BOA VIDA FAMOSOS Notícia Beber três a quatro cafés por dia faz bem à saúde Estudo revela benefícios do café. Por Catarina Figueiredo|24.11.17 + 1 / 8 Café Getty Images A questão é ambígua: se para muitos a ideia de consumir muito café por dia está associado a um deterioramento da saúde e do bem-estar físico, para outros, o consumo da cafeína significa um aumento da energia diária e vantagens saudáveis manifestadas a curto e a longo prazo. Assim, a revista científica BMJ publicou um estudo médico que desmistifica certas ideias sobre o café. A análise conclui que beber entre três a quatro cafés por dia reduz o risco de doenças hepáticas, como a cirrose, bem como acidentes cardiovasculares (AVC). No entanto, tal como tudo na vida, o consumo não deve ser exagerado e deve ser ajustado à condição de saúde do consumidor. No caso das grávidas, a ingestão de cafeína não deve exceder os 200 mg por dia, o equivalente a cerca de duas chávenas de café. A investigação, que esteva a cargo de Robin Poole, um especialista da área da saúde da Universidade de Southampton, no Reino Unido, revela ainda que as pessoas que consumem café têm um menor risco de contrair doenças como a diabetes, o cancro, a demência e o alzheimer. "

"A radical radical  new cancer treatment inspired by patients who seem to ‘shrug off’ the disease could be tested next year.

The technique uses potent cancer-killing cells from people with the strongest immune systems.

These ‘neutrophil’ cells – which form part of the body’s first line of defence – are then multiplied millions of times and injected into cancer patients.

They are believed to be a key reason why rare individuals spontaneously reject lethal cancers and seem to have ‘miracle recoveries’."
(...)
"But when they do target cancer, they are highly efficient – wiping out 95 percent of test cancer cells in 24 hours. It is neutrophils with this ability that form the basis of the new therapy.

The Lift team has collected thousands of the cells discarded as a waste product by blood banks, and is mass-screening them for their cancer-killing potential in a laboratory.

Those that pass the test are cultured and multiplied many times over using a secret process. The researchers are also working on a way of altering them to become even more potent."

Citando:
"igher consumption of potatoes (whether fried, boiled, baked, or mashed) is associated with an increased risk of high blood pressure, according to a study published in the British Medical Journal.

The research suggests that replacing one daily serving of potatoes with other, non-starchy vegetables could reduce the risk of developing hypertension.

The researchers, from Harvard Medical School in the US, followed over 187,000 men and women from three large US studies for more than 20 years. They measured dietary intake, including frequency of potato consumption, with a questionnaire. Blood pressure was measured by a health professional."

"Drinking coffee regularly may reduce the risk of liver cancer and cirrhosis, according to the latest report.

According to a report presented at the Royal Society of Medicine in London, the risk of liver cancer can be reduced with up to a 40 per cent with coffee consumption as compared to no coffee consumption, although this appears to be a dose-dependent relationship.

Also, that reduced risk is measured between 25 percent and 70 percent for cirrhosis.

Graeme Alexander, from the University College London in the UK, said, "Liver disease is on the rise and it is important that we understand how coffee, one of the most popular drinks in the world, and diet affect the disease", said."

Citando:
"A low-salt diet combined with the DASH diet (The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) substantially lowers systolic blood pressure – the top number in a blood pressure test – according to new research published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

The DASH diet is rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, along with low-fat or fat-free dairy, fish, poultry, beans, seeds and nuts.

The study was designed to examine the effects of combining the two diets in adults with early or modest forms of high blood pressure – those considered to be at greatest risk of developing more severe forms of hypertension known to increase the likelihood of stroke, kidney disease, heart attacks and heart failure."

"Owning a dog is associated with a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular disease and death, according to a comprehensive new study published by a team of Swedish researchers on Friday in the journal Scientific Reports.

The scientists followed 3.4 million people over the course of 12 years and found that adults who live alone and owned a dog were 33 percent less likely to die during the study than adults who lived alone without dogs. In addition, the single adults with dogs were 36 percent less likely to die from cardiovascular disease."

Apanhar sol atrás de um vidro traz benefícios? E malefícios?

Parece que o benefício da Vitamina D atrás de um vidro não existe (vidros comuns filtram o UV-B) é que continua a existir risco de cancro de pele (em excesso os UV-A fazem igualmente mal):

Citando:
"The sun emits ultraviolet (UV) A, UVB, and UVC rays. The latter is the most damaging, but is filtered by the atmosphere and doesn’t reach the earth’s surface.

Vitamin D is produced by the body when the skin is hit by UVB rays, with 7-dehydrocholesterol being the resulting chemical. But most glass windows block this wavelength meaning you can't reap the health benefits.

(...)
A 2010 US study into skin cancer found that people who spend a lot of time driving a car each week are more likely to develop skin cancers on the left side of the body – which is the window side in North American cars.

Data on 1,000 patients showed that 74 per cent of patients with malignant melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer, had tumours on their left sides, according to the study by researchers at the St Louis University, the New York Times reported."

"Here's How Mushrooms Could Help Fight Ageing

The study conducted by researchers at Pennsylvania State University dubbed mushrooms to be the highest known single source of the antioxidants ergothioneine and glutathione, which are both associated with anti-ageing properties."
(...)
"the countries that have more ergothioneine in their diets, countries like France and Italy, also have lower incidences of neurodegenerative diseases, the average amount of the antioxidant seen in the diets in these countries is about 3 milligrams per day, or about five button mushrooms. While people in countries like the United States, which has low amounts of ergothioneine in the diet, have a higher probability of diseases like Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's."

Banho todos os dias?

Talvez mas sem ensaboar intensamente e com água não muito quente:
https://www.tribunaonline.com.br/estudo-aponta-que-tomar-banho-todos-os-dias-pode-fazer-mal-a-saude/

Citando:
"Cientistas da Universidade George Washington da Califórnia, nos Estados Unidos, concluíram que tomar banho diariamente faz mal a saúde. Sim, o que para nós brasileiros é um ato de higiene, aos olhos dos cientistas é algo que prejudica a nossa saúde.

Segundo o estudo da Universidade, o banho diário afeta a camada mais externa da epiderme, chamada “camada córnea”. Esta camada mais fragilizada permite que os lipídios e os compostos gordurosos – que ajudam a manter a pele úmida – se dissolvam.

De acordo com o professor assistente de dermatologia da universidade Brandon Michell, o ideal é que o banho seja tomado uma ou duas vezes por semana. Mas, se o indivíduo quiser se banhar, o cientista recomenda que não seja necessário ensaboar o corpo inteiro.

Outro ponto levantado pelos cientistas é que a água quente causa secura e irritabilidade na pele, retirando do corpo as bactérias benéficas que ajudam no combate a infecções."

Sobre cortar com o açúcar - uma história

Citando:
"The constant bad news about sugar has suddenly got to me. There are stats showing that sugar consumption is at its highest level in history. The government is trying to get the food industry to cut the amount of sugar in popular products like chocolate bars by 20% by 2020.

I realise that I am the average UK adult, who consumes at least 15 teaspoons of sugar a day. (This may sound a lot, but there are seven teaspoons in just one fizzy drink can.) The World Health Organisation recommends eating just six.

A high-sugar diet is linked to obesity, and being overweight can increase the risk of getting Type 2 diabetes.A 2014 study found that there is a much higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease among people who get a lot of their calories from added sugar."

Omeprazol (protector do estômago) e risco de cancro de estômago?

Notícias ao Minuto - Estudo relaciona a toma de Omeprazol com risco de cancro de estômago

Citando:
"Um estudo realizado pela Universidade de Hong Kong em parceria com o University College London, publicado pela revista científica 'Gut' na passada terça-feira, alerta para os riscos do uso prolongado de medicamentos da classe do Omeprazol, como o Lansoprazol, Pantoprazol, Rabeprazol, Esomeprazol e Dexlansoprazo.

De acordo com o estudo, este tipo de medicamentos 'protetores' do estômago - Inibidores de Bomba de Protões (IBP) - aumentam até 2,4 vezes o risco de cancro no estômago quando tomados de forma recorrente, uma ligação já estudada anteriormente pela ciência."
