Reduce Hobbies Rahim For Healthy Snacking Biscuits

 Biscuit

Kadiri, occasionally eat biscuits certainly could not hurt, especially ahead of the Eiddefinitely a lot of these foods will be served. But you should not be a habit, because toooften snack crackers can increase the risk of uterine cancer.

Researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm reveals, the sugar in biscuits can trigger cancer in two ways. First, sugar stimulates insulin production, which if excessivecan trigger abnormal growth of the endometrium or uterine lining.The next way is by affecting the balance of sex hormones in the female reproductivesystem.Levels caused by excessive sugar can lead to increased snacking crackers estrogenhormone levels, so the risk of cancer, particularly in the uterus has increased.Increased risk of uterine cancer is not too big, but still not be overlooked. According to the study, snack crackers 2-3 times a week has increased the risk by 33 percent, while if more than 3 times a week then the risk is up 42 percent.Because only the observed frequency of snacking in a week, the researchers did notmeasure how much sugar content in biscuits are consumed. However, based on the theory, the risk of cancer will increase to 36 percent if kandungna sugar reached 35grams, or about 7 teaspoons.The study, published in the journal Cancer Epidemology was conducted between the years1987-1990 to 61,226 women in Stockholm, Sweden. At follow-up observations conductedin 2008, there were about 729 participants who were ultimately affected by cervicalcancer."This study shows that sugar in certain foods can increase the risk of uterine cancer. But we need to see the results of other studies to see whether the results are consistent," saidYinka Ebo of Cancer Research UK who was not involved in the study, as quoted fromDailymail,

Ways Away from Cancer

Stres
Kediri - Cancer can affect anyone, men and women and of various age groups.
Various causes and risk factors of cancer has also been frequently discussed. However, it is almost always impossible to prove what caused the cancer that occurs in a person.Because cancer has several possible causes.
For example, in a smoker can lead to development that leads to lung cancer. However, in another case to someone who is not a smoker, still has a risk factor for lung cancer due to air pollution or radiation.

Amounting to 90-95 percent of cancer cases are caused by environmental factors. While the remaining 5-10 percent of cancer cases are caused by genes.
Environmental factors that increase cancer risk factors rather than just pollution.Environmental factors, among others:1. Cigarettes or tobacco, about 25-30 percent of cases2. Obesity, about 30-35 percent of cases3. Infection, approximately 15-20 percent of cases4. Radiation, both ionizing and non ionizing radiation, up to 10 percent of cases5. Stress6. Lack of physical activity7. Environmental pollutants
There are 3 ways to minimize the risk of cancer, among others, as quoted by WebMD, Sunday (10/16/2011):
1. Know your family health history
"Finding out about family medical history, can tell if someone has a high risk of cancer or not," said cancer researcher Beth Y. Karlan, MD. If you can find out the status of the risk of cancer in the family can focus on prevention.
2. Regular health checksRegular health checks are very useful for early detection of all disease, not just cancer.Early detection will be very useful for the successful treatment or cure for a disease or disorder.
C "oak health, among others, as do a colonoscopy if aged over 50 years," said professor of obstetrics and gynecology Carolyn Runowicz, MD.
According to the American Cancer Society is also doing a routine pap smears for women, namely that started 3 years after first sexual intercourse or no later than the age of 21 years. Also routinely perform mammography after age 40 years.
3. Stay away from obesity and examine the body mass index (BMI) periodically"Get used to examine BMI regularly and keep it under the number 25, in order to avoid being overweight," says Karlan.
Because obesity has been considered a risk factor for cancer and other serious illnesses.Besides being able to lose weight, regular exercise can also reduce levels of estrogen in the blood. Levels of estrogen in the blood may help reduce the risk of breast cancer.
BMI categories are:Thin categories: BMI value of less than 19Ideal Category: Value BMI 19 to 24.9Categories Fat: The value of BMI 25 to 29.9Category Obesity: BMI value equal to or more than 30
How to Calculate BMI
How to calculate BMI by squaring the value of height (in meters). Then the weight (in kilograms) divided by the square of height requirement.
For example one 30-year-old woman weighing 60 kg and height 160 cm (1.6 meters).How to calculate it is:The first time squaring height 1.6 X 1.6 2.56 results. Then the weight divided by the multiplication of the heights of 60: 23.43 2.56 results. Mean BMI values ​​of women amounted to 23.43 and go into the ideal / normal.
