By vincent1230 1.Listening to loud Music if you despair over the thumping soundtrack blasting from your teen’s room, you may be surprised to hear it could be doing him some good. There’s scientific proof that the greater the music’s intensity the more pleasure it brings, according to research from the University of Mancherster. It’s all down to the vestibular system, which is responsible for balance but also carries vibration; when sound waves set it off, it sends a positive message to the brain. Study author Neil Todd believes it’s a hangover from a primitive acoustic sense connected to basic drives such as hunger and sex. But if the result is hearing loss, surely it’s not worth it? Todd found that while sounds carried across a room had to be louder than 90 decibels, to produce the vestibular response, sounds carried through mass- such as the floor or leaning against a speaker- need only be 30 decibels to achieve the same sensation. But watch out! in reality, clubs and rock gigs can reach over 100 decibels. Bradfrod, and expert on music and hearing loss at the University London, says the longer you listen to loud music, the more damage you do. It’s considered safe to listen to 85 dsb for 8 hours, but if this increases to 88 dsb, you should halve the length of time. 2. Texting, Not Talking In the Philippines alone, about 400 million text massages are sent in a day, which you may see as another nail in the coffin of human interaction. But a survey by YouGov, an international internet based market research firm, found that 43 percent of respondents felt mobile phones improved family communications. A study by Professor Helen Haste of the Nestle Social Research Programme in London confirmed that for young adults, texting was crucial in their interaction with parents. Experts suggest it’s the discreet nature of texting that makes it so appealing to young people, allowing them to keep in touch while maintaining their own space. Phone calls may be more immediate, but texting means explosive emotions can be edited out and the misinterpretation of tones of voice, which often leads youngsters to avoid phone calls (parents may sound interrogative when they’re really just concerned), becomes a thing of the past. But watch out! A virgin Mobile survey suggests millions suffer text-related injuries each year. Doctors advise against spending more than 5-10 minutes texting, to avoid repetitive strain injury. Spread the load by varying the fingers you use. 3 . Po u n d in g th e Pa ve m e n ts Running, particularly on roads, has been blamed for wear and tear on the knees, which can lead to osteoarthritis. But a new study shows that those who regurlarly run are actually less likely to develop the condition than those who don’t. It seems running can strengthen the cartilage around the knee, preventing degenaration. Researchers at Monash University in Victoria, Australia, followed 300 adults aged between 50 and 79 over a decade and found that cartilage volume increase in those who exercised the most. Regular running can also reduce pain: a study at California’s Stanford University found that older people engaging in regular exercise, including running, reported 25 percent less musculoskeletal pain than sedentary people. So does this mean that people with osteoarthristis should exercise? “Yes”, says Dr Adam Bajikowski, president of the Primary Care Rheumatology Society, UK. ‘the more you exercise your joints, the stronger they become.” But watch out! “Older people should always get a medical assessment before taking up a new activity and you should build up to running gradually, starting with a power walk,” says Claire Small of UK’s Chartered Society of Physiotherapy. 5 .

But watch out! •Full-fat dairy is only going to have these benefits as part of a balanced diet. At the end of the day, if you eat too may calories you’ll put on 6. Caffeine Many people assume that decaffeinated coffee and tea is somehow healthier – and there have been suggested link between caffeine and heart palpitations and pancreatic cancer. But there’s a growing list of ways that it might actually be good for you. Several studies have flagged coffee as combating or delaying the development of Parkinson’s disease in men. It’s most likely the caffeine that’s doing it, says Dr Kieran, director of research for the Parkinson’s Disease Society in the UK; perhaps it stimulates nerve cells’ production of dopamine to counteract the disease’s sysptoms, or it may actually be protecting the nerve cells. Some studies have suggested that caffeine can help prevent gallstones, though there’s no consensus yet. A Japanese study found that middle-aged and older people drinking coffee daily had half the rate of common liver cancer. Also, as a pick-me-up, caffeine doesn’t just affect your mood there’s evidence it can enhance the performance of athletes. But watch out! It has been suggested that caffeine is harmful to those with diabetes or hypertension, though doctors simply advise sufferers to drink it in moderation and the Blood Pressure Association in the UK says cutting out caffeine does not have a major impact on blood pressure. 7. Booze By now you’ll have heard that red wine in moderation helps protect against heart disease, but the healing benefits don’t stop there. If you’re more of a beer drinker, take heart: studies in both the Netherlands and the Czech Republic have found that the rich vitamin B6 content in beer can prevent the built-up of homocysteine, an amino acid, high levels of which have been linked to heart attacks. Beer also contains polyphenols --- the same things that in wine are lauded for controlling LDL cholestrol. What if you’re a spirit-drinker? Well, if you like a gin and tonic, you may want to know that the quinine in tonic water can prevent night cramps. In a small 2005 study, Dr Richard Coppin, a general practitioner in the UK showed that quinine was more effective than calf-stretching exercises in preventing the condition. Of course, tonic water contains 83mg of quinine per liter and doctors typically prescribe 200 to 300mg o quinine to be taken each night. But it’s possible that smaller doses might help too, says Dr. Coppin. But watch out! Not only is drinking more than 3-4 units of alcohol a day for men (2-3 for women) a health risk, but booze is high in calories too. And very high doses of quinine can result in cinchonism, a cluster of symptoms including tinnitus, headache, flushing, nausea, abdominal pain and rashes. 8 .

Some games can create stress-like symptoms, with younger children more affected because they are less able to distinguish between fact and fiction. Ensure the computer is somewhere you can see it. 9 . S u g a ry S o ft D rin ks Surely it’s great that soft drinks come in diet form? The same drink with virtually no calories. But a 2005 study from the University of Texas found that in a group of 622 participants studied over eight years, those who regularly drink diet soft drinks were far more likely to become overweight or obese than those drinking the same amount of non-diet drink. Although artificial sweeteners may taste the same as sugar, “your body may not be fooled that it’s receive the same calories – so it craves more,” says Lowdon, a spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association. Diet soft drinks may also lull you into a false sense of security. “Some people feel that if they drink one, they can have a Mars bar,” says Lowdon. But watch out! To lose weight, you still have to cut down on calories. “Have one sugar drink a week and enjoy it, rather than a lot of diet drinks that don’t satisfy you,” advises Lowdon. 10. Being a working Mum Do you sometimes worry that the stress of caring for a family while holding down a job will drive you into the madhouse or an early grave? In fact,a 2005 study found that the women who combine a career with marriage and motherhood are less likely to have poor health than those who stay at home or have no children. A study in the UK following British men and women born in 1946 throughout their lives, also found that 38 percent of long- term homemakers were obese by their fifties, compared with just 23 percent who had been working mothers. B u t w a tch o u t! Sadly the same benefits don’t come from going it alone. Lone working mothers were less healthy than ones with partners or childless women (though still healthier than mums who didn’t work.) Thank you for reading!
