It’s where you eat, and spend a few quiet moments away from your desk and it is the dirtiest place you will come in contact with all day.
Who would think that the break room has more germs and bacteria than the bathroom?
Kimberly-Clark recently swabbed local office break rooms and found out just that.
It seems like vegetarians have an image problem; they’re feminine.
In an effort to encourage men toward better, healthier diets, it is necessary to make veggie burgers and salads more masculine.
“In the (distant) past, meat was associated with strength. It was important for males to have more muscles than females in our social evolution — for hunting and fighting,” said Wansink, the John S. Dyson endowed chair of marketing at Cornell University. “That association remained — not between protein and muscles but between meat and muscles. It started a long time ago and it’s still powerful today.”
You might be surprised to learn that at least 9 health habits that most of perform are definitely negotiable.
From going to the dentist twice a year to when to toss old milk read about a few unnecessary personal care rules which many of us follow.
The definitive answer is in on regular PSA screening for men.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force suggests that the prostate-specific antigen test is not providing ample benefit and the risks of population-wide screening outweigh the benefits.
The test, which measures a protein in the blood, does not diagnose cancer. It looks for a tell-tale sign that cancer may be present. (The other commonly used technique, a DRE, or digital rectal exam, is used by doctors to feel for prostate abnormalities that have already become palpable.) A positive test usually kicks off a series of events such as a confirming biopsy, and then treatments including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and hormone deprivation.
Because the test often results in false positives, and because it can’t tell how aggressive or benign a cancer may be, doctors and patients are often in the dark about whether the tumor requires treatment. So, out of caution, most men with positive PSA tests are biopsied and, if cancer is found, treated.
“Thus,” the task force stated, “many men are being subjected to the harms of treatment of prostate cancer that will never become symptomatic. PSA-based screening for prostate cancer results in considerable overtreatment and its associated harms.”
This decision, however, is met with controversy and you should always consult with your physician.
All cases are different and mitigating circumstances come into play with the health of each individual.
For optimal nutrient digestion and absorption, eating on a schedule may be the best way to help your body keep off excess weight.
This may be the overlooked factor in the weight loss equation.
“Every organ has a clock,” said study researcher Satchidananda Panda, of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, Calif. That means there are times that our livers, intestines, muscles and other organs work at peak efficiency, and other times when they are — more or less — sleeping, Panda said.
These metabolic cycles are critical for processes such as cholesterol breakdown, and they should be turned on when we eat and turned off when we don’t, Panda said. When mice or people eat frequently throughout the day and night, it can throw off those normal metabolic cycles, he added.
