Curry Power

A Cure for Cancer?
If you like curry then you must be delighted to learn that scientists in Ireland have found a certain type of curry spice can kill off cancer cells.

Tests by a team at the Cork Cancer Research Centre show it can destroy gullet cancer cells in the lab. The cancer cells began to digest themselves after the curcumin triggered lethal cell death signals. And this process started within 24 hours. Curry dishes have cancer beating ingredients.

Bank sleep to fight tiredness

As anyone who has unwittingly drifted off at their desk will know-tiredness can really creep up on you when you least need it. But a new study is offering some good news： it claims to prove that we can bank sleep-and store it up in advance of a tiring event. Researchers in the US invited a group of volunteers to adjust their sleep patterns so the effect could be monitored. For a week, one half of the group was allowed extra sleep, while the others were told to keep their sleeping patterns the same. Then, the following week, they were all sleep-deprived.
"After this week of either extended or habitual sleep per night, all the volunteers came to the lab and they were given three hours of sleep, per night, for a week," explained Tracy Rupp from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. They were then given tasks of varying complication, and tests showed that those who had banked the sleep were "more resilient during the sleep restriction". "They showed less performance deterioration with regards to reaction time and alertness than the group that had been given the habitual prior sleep," said Ms Rupp. Bank sleep to fight our tiredness it seems a pretty theory. I think it to difficult for person who has habit of insomnia. Bank sleep likes taking a nap during the noon to get good mind. Stop to sleep or take a rest, when you feel tired it is necessary.

Feeling grumpy is good for you

In a bad mood? Don’t worry - according to research, it’s good for you. An Australian psychology expert who has been studying emotions has found being grumpy makes us think more clearly. Miserable people are better at decision-making and less gullible, his experiments showed.

While cheerfulness fosters creativity, gloominess breeds attentiveness and careful thinking, Professor Joe Forgas told Australian Science Magazine. The University of New South Wales researcher says a grumpy person can cope with more demanding situations than a happy one because of the way the brain "promotes information processing strategies".

Those in a bad mood outperformed those who were jolly - they made fewer mistakes and were better communicators.

We always get anger in many things that we hear or someone do something we don’t like. During we are being angry, others say we should calm down to treat those things. Now, I think I get a good reason for my bad mood.

Taiwan High Speed Rail

I went to Zuoying, Kaohsiung with my friends by high speed rail yesterday.

This was my first time to take the high speed rail. The Taiwan High Speed Rail gives a good special price from Monday to Friday every week. The origin price is NTD1,330. We got the 85% discount at the ticket price, so we just paid the NTD1,130. It saved two hundred dollars. We took the rail at the 7:30 from Taoyuan and arrived Zuoying at 9:08. The speed was about 291km/hr. It so fast and saved our much time. We saw many people took the rail to visit their customers or factories. It is very convenient and comfortable to take the rail.

Stress makes for more sleepless in Taiwan-study

More than one in five people in Taiwan suffers from insomnia likely caused by stress due to the economic woes, a figure higher than the global average, researchers said on. Wednesday.The survey of 4,005 people found that 21.8 percent of the population has chronic trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, said Lee Hsin-chien, psychiatry chairman at government-run Shuang-Ho Hospital in Taipei.
Overseas, averages of 10 to 15 percent of the population reports insomnia, he said, while Taiwan’s rate was about 10 percent in 2000.Stress due to recession on the export-reliant island earlier this year might have contributed to the increase, Lee said. Diabetes, hypertension, anxiety and depression may also be driving insomnia as health generally declines in the face of an increasingly Western lifestyle, he added. Sleeplessness is a big problem for me. I wake up per hour in the midnight every day and I have a lot of dream while I am sleeping. I have not a good quality of sleeping. Even, I am afraid to sleep. I need the deeply sleeping very much. I don’t know how to improve this situation. I tried don’t think too much, or too tired, but nothing be changed. I am so sad. When do I can get good quality of sleeping?

The Volunteer

Taking a deep sniff of lavender before you settle down for a horror film might stop you getting so scared - but only if you are a woman, a study has found. Men should avoid the smell unless they crave a more unsettling experience, a paper being presented to the British Psychological Society suggests. The Volunteers were given either capsules containing lavender or a placebo. Their physiological responses to neutral, scary and light-hearted film clips were then observed. Women who took lavender had an increased heart rate variation - an indicator of a more relaxed state - during all three films. Aromatherapy is rooted in the idea that certain fragrant smells can stimulate the limbic system - the emotion-related parts of the brain - causing changes in the function of the body and mind. My friends like all kinds of products made of the volunteers. Those will let them feel relax. They like to smell this scent very much. It can let them sleep well and calm down. You can drink the volunteer tea, to get other difference feeling. The volunteers are good plants you also can plants them at your garden.

They looked at 18 separate studies involving nearly 500,000 people. This analysis revealed that people who drink three or four cups of coffee or tea a day cut their risk by a fifth or more, say researchers. The same amount of decaffeinated coffee had an even bigger effect, lowering risk by a third.
Type 2 diabetes usually starts after the age of 40 and develops when the body can still make some insulin, but not enough, or when the insulin that is produced does not work properly.

The average age of the women was 54, and the average weight gain was 2.6 kg over the 13 year period. The high exercise group gained significantly less weight than the rest. But there was no difference in weight gain between the two lower exercise groups.
