  A recent study has found that older men who do more housework are more likely to be physically and mentally healthy than those who do less. The study, which was conducted by researchers at the University of Bremen in Germany, looked at data from over 35,000 people aged 65 and older. The study found that men who spent between three and six hours per day on housework were 25% more likely to report good health than those who only spent one or two hours. The researchers believe that this is because housework can help to improve physical fitness, reduce stress, and provide a sense of purpose. In addition to the physical and mental health benefits, the study also found that men who do more housework are more likely to be satisfied with their lives. The researchers believe that this is because housework can help to strengthen relationships and create a sense of community. The study's findings suggest that older men should be encouraged to do more housework. This could help them to live

  Although air travel is risky for people with certain medical conditions, a few good practices will make your flight safer: Book  an aisle seat on the plane,  not a window seat.  It will be easier to move. Do not rush  to fly by plane.  Haste and nervousness can worsen the tolerance of this form of travel.  Tense and relax your leg muscles  as you travel .  If you can, take breaks to move your body every hour on the plane. You can do a gentle  massage of the legs from the bottom up  - from the ankles to the thighs. Stay hydrated  , drink at least 2 liters of fluids on the go.  The air in the plane is dry and favors the stagnation of blood in deep veins. Avoid drinking alcohol  during and before the flight - alcohol acts as a diuretic, and thus increases the viscosity of the blood, promotes the loss of magnesium and potassium, and as a result also muscle cramps.  Wear comfortable and loose clothing.  Do not wear tight things that will impede blood flow.  Preventively use  compression s

  Paper sensors are a promising new technology for the timely detection of cancer. They are low-cost, easy to use, and can be easily deployed in remote or resource-limited settings. Paper sensors work by using paper as a substrate to immobilize specific molecules that bind to cancer biomarkers. When a sample containing cancer biomarkers is applied to the sensor, the biomarkers bind to the immobilized molecules and cause a color change. The color change can be easily detected by the naked eye or with a simple optical reader. Paper sensors have been shown to be effective in detecting a variety of cancer biomarkers, including carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). In some cases, paper sensors have been shown to be more sensitive than traditional diagnostic methods. Paper sensors are still under development, but they have the potential to revolutionize the early detection of cancer. They could make it possible t

 A new study has found that people who eat or drink foods high in flavonol can avoid complaining of rapid memory loss in old age.   Flavonol is a compound present in certain fruits and vegetables, including cabbage, tomatoes, apples, and oranges. Dr Thomas M Holland, lead author of the study published in the Journal of Neurology of the American Academy of Neurology, said that simple steps like eating more fruits and vegetables and drinking more tea can be an easy way to keep your brain healthy. The study found that people who were given green leafy vegetables on average seven times a week or once a day saw a 32 percent lower rate of decline in their brain performance. Thomas Holland said that changes in diet and lifestyle in early life could potentially have better effects. The reason for this is the changes in the brain that start 10 to 20  years before the clinical symptoms of Alzheimer's appear. He, however, emphasized that healthy behaviors, especially in terms of food and dri

 Orlistat  is an organic compound. It is used to treat obesity. It prevents the body from absorbing fat from the food we eat. It works if you  combine with a low-calorie diet.  Orlistat works by blocking the action of an enzyme called lipase. It is lipase's job to break down fat into smaller molecules so that the body can absorb them. When orlistat is taken, it binds to lipase and prevents it from working. This prevents the body from absorbing about 30% of the fat that is eaten.  Unabsorbed fat is then excreted from the body in the stool. This can result in side effects like oily stools, gas, and diarrhea. These side effects are usually minor and disappear after a few weeks.  In order to get the desired results, orlistat should be combined with a moderately low-calorie diet . While taking the drug, it is also advisable to maintain physical activity. The indications for taking the drug orlistat Patients with a BMI of greater than 30 kg/m2 can take orlistat to treat their obesity, bu

Yes, there is some evidence that thinking positively about aging can help fight memory loss. A study published in JAMA Network Open in 2022 found that older adults with positive beliefs about aging were more likely to recover from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) than those with negative beliefs about aging. MCI is a condition that affects memory and thinking, and it is often a precursor to dementia. The study's authors believe that positive beliefs about aging may help protect the brain by reducing stress and inflammation. They also suggest that positive thinking may help people stay engaged in their lives and continue to learn and grow, which can also help to protect the brain. Of course, thinking positively about aging is not a magic bullet. It is important to also take steps to protect your brain health, such as eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and staying mentally active. However, positive thinking can be a helpful addition to a comprehensive brain health plan.

 Third tonsil hypertrophy causes a slew of issues for both children and parents. It is not an uncommon condition, but rather one of the most common laryngological complaints in children. More than 30% of them are affected. Many parents are concerned about the removal of the third tonsil. Some believe that after the surgery, the child's infections will "go lower," resulting in more frequent bronchial or lung diseases. And, because the third almond is part of the immune system, there are concerns that the child's immunity will deteriorate and he will become more susceptible to infections.   The third tonsil protects against infections, but sometimes causes problems The third tonsil (adenoid) is a lymph tissue cluster located in the nasopharynx. The so-called Waldeyer's ring, which belongs to the mucosal immune system, is part of the extensive lymphatic system of the nose and throat. The nasopharyngeal lymphatic system protects against the entry of viruses, bacteria,
