New study finds way to reduce diabetes risk by 35%

New research has found that going to the movies or listening to music every month can reduce the risk of diabetes by 35%.

Accordingly, visiting museums, listening to music and seeing art exhibitions can limit diabetes.

Scientists already know that engaging in the arts can keep the heart healthy, protect against cognitive decline in old age, and combat anxiety and depression. And the latest research suggests that such activities can also help reduce the risk of diabetes.

Going to the movies or listening to music every month can reduce the risk of diabetes by more than a third

The study, conducted by a team of scientists from Peking University (China) and Osaka University (Japan), analyzed data from more than 4,000 people over a period of 12 years.

Volunteers were asked how often they went to the movies, listened to music, or visited art galleries or museums.

When the researchers compared this data with the number of cases of type 2 diabetes, they found that people who went to the movies once a month or more had a 35% lower risk of diabetes than those who rarely or never went . The same was true for people who regularly attended concerts, operas, or galleries. The next part of this article will be on the health page on November 2 .

Does eating a lot of carrots cause jaundice?

Carrots contain many vitamins and minerals that are beneficial for the eyes, immune system, cardiovascular system, digestion... However, experts recommend eating them in moderation to avoid the body not being able to convert all the beta-carotene into vitamin A.

Dr. Nguyen Thu Ha, Head of the Nutrition and Dietetics Department, Saigon South International General Hospital, shared that carrots contain many micronutrients, especially beta-carotene. This is a strong antioxidant and a precursor of vitamin A. 100g of carrots contains 6597 mcg of beta-carotene. Meanwhile, the recommended vitamin A requirement for adults is 850 - 900 mcg/day for men and 650 - 700 mcg/day for women. Pregnant women need about 1200 - 1300 mcg/day.

Carrots contain a lot of beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A.

In addition, carrots are a rich source of important vitamins and minerals such as vitamins C, D, E and B vitamins. Carotene in carrots when entering the body will be converted into vitamin A to help brighten eyes, increase resistance and keep skin smooth. The potassium content in carrots helps prevent the risk of high blood pressure and other cardiovascular problems.

"However, if you eat a lot of carrots, your body will not be able to convert all the beta-carotene into vitamin A. When the amount of carotene increases about 3-4 times normal, it will cause jaundice in the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and the face will turn orange-yellow, but the eyes and mucous membranes under the tongue will not turn yellow, and are often accompanied by symptoms of indigestion, loss of appetite, and fatigue," Dr. Ha analyzed.

Not cleaning your desk regularly, how harmful is it?

In offices, the desk is considered one of the places with the most bacteria. Even if not cleaned regularly, the density of bacteria can be so high that few people can imagine. This will be a favorable condition for bacteria to grow and spread disease.

Many studies show that pathogens are concentrated in many places on the desk, from the surface, drawers to objects on the desk such as computers, keyboards, phones, pens and many other items. These pathogens are not only bacteria but also viruses, fungi and some other microorganisms.

If not cleaned regularly, the desk will accumulate many disease-causing bacteria.

A study by the University of Arizona (USA) found that the amount of bacteria and other microorganisms on an infrequently cleaned desk can be 400 times more than on a toilet seat in a household. This means that many office workers will face a high risk of infectious diseases.

In addition, the study also found that men's desks have 3-4 times more bacteria than women's. Of these, 98% are gram-negative bacteria and 2% are bacilli. This may be because men's desks are larger and men's hygiene and cleaning habits are worse than women's. Start your day with health news to see more of this article!
