Regular physical activity has long been found to associate to the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases, but regular walking contribution of reduced exacerbation of Asthma in the younger and older elderly patient have been lacking, probably due to the effectiveness of medication in disease controlling.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the air way of the lung with recurring symptoms, such as wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing, in people of all ages. In the United States, approximately, 25 millions of people have developed asthma, 7 millions of them are children.

According to the new study conducted by the Center for Research in Environmental Epidemiology (CREAL), regular physical activity, such as regular walking was associated with reduced risk of exacerbation in women with asthma(1).

A 10-week rehabilitation program of 26 adults (23 to 58 years) with mild to moderate asthma, including 12-min walking test, abated significantly asthma symptoms and may be used as a supplement to conventional pharmacological treatment of asthma(2).

Dr. Carson KV and colleagues in the study of Physical training for asthma said, "physical training showed significant improvement in maximum oxygen uptake, though no effects were observed in other measures of pulmonary function. Physical training was well tolerated among people with asthma in the included studies and, as such, people with stable asthma should be encouraged to participate in regular exercise training, without fear of symptom exacerbation"(3).

In support of the above finding, the Massey University suggested, physical training does not have an adverse effect on lung function and wheeze in patients with asthma and patients with asthma should participate in regular physical activity(4).

Jo Pavey, the Olympic athlete from Great Britain said, " "Being fit has improved my asthma so much. When I was at university and not doing so much running, I would really struggle for breath going uphill and so on. That just doesn’t happen when I’m looking after my fitness."

In fact, regular physical activity improves the lungs function of people with asthma and overall level of fitness. Exercise and sports in PubMed health showed to reduce asthma symptoms, as well as to keep asthma under control(5).

The study also pointed out that if certain physical activities lead to more frequent asthma attacks, the type of sport is not necessarily to blame. External factors such as cold air might play an important role in the induction, as asthma attacks are more common in winter sports.

In deed, regular walking in patients with asthma may play an important role in reduced weigh loss which is associated with significant net benefits for asthma control or clinical asthma outcomes. According to Palo Alto Medical Foundation Research Institute, weight loss of 10% or greater may be required to produce clinically meaningful improvement in asthma(6).

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), including catechins, is phytochemicals of Flavan-3-ols, in the group of Flavonoids (polyphenols) found abundantly catechin in green tea.

Health Benefits
1. Anti-human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1)
In the investigation of the investigated possible anti-human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) activity of EGCg and its mechanisms of action in the viral life cycle. EGCg, found that EGCg had a destructive effect on the viral particles, and post-adsorption entry and RT in acutely infected monocytoid cells were significantly inhibited at concentrations of EGCg greater than 1 μM, and protease kinetics were suppressed at a concentration higher than 10 μM in the cell-free study. Viral production by THP-1 cells chronically-infected with HIV-1 was also inhibited in a dose-dependent manner and the inhibitory effect was enhanced by liposome modification of EGCg, according to "Inhibitory effects of (−)-epigallocatechin gallate on the life cycle of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)" by Koushi Yamaguchi, Mitsuo Honda,Hajime Ikigai,Yukihiko Hara, Tadakatsu Shimamura(1)

2. Breast cancer
In the investigation of the effect of Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) against the initiation, progression, and invasion of carcinogenesis of MMP-9 in the human breast cancer cell line, found that EGCG treatment reduced the activity, protein, and mRNA expression ofMMP-9 and enhanced the expression of the tissue inhibitor of MMP 1 (TIMP-1). EGCG downregulated the activation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and extracellular regulated kinase (ERK), reduced the adhesion of MDA-MB-231 cells to fibronectin and vitronectin, and reduced the mRNA expression of the integrin receptors alpha5beta1 and alphavbeta3 and concluded that EGCG as a potential inhibitor of the expression and activity of MMP-9 by a process involving FAK/ERK and transcription factorsin MDA-MB-231, according to "Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) downregulates gelatinase-B (MMP-9) by involvement of FAK/ERK/NFkappaB and AP-1 in the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231" by Sen T, Dutta A, Chatterjee A.(2)

3. Anti inflammatory effects
In the investigation of investigate the effect of EGCG on the expression of fibrogenic factors and whether EGCG attenuates the severity of oxidative stress and inflammatory response in chronic liver injury, found that Treatment with EGCGsignificantly reduced liver injury, oxidative stress and the inflammatory response.EGCG also significantly reduced the formation of collagen in the liver, the expression of alpha-SMA and all of the assayed pro-fibrogenic markers except TIMP-2 and MMP-9. EGCG significantly attenuated the severity of CCl(4)-induced liver injury and the progression of liver fibrosis. The protective effect of EGCG may in part be a consequence of the reduction in oxidative stress and the pro-inflammatory response, according to "Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) reduces liver inflammation, oxidative stress and fibrosis in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver injury in mice" by Tipoe GL, Leung TM, Liong EC, Lau TY, Fung ML, Nanji AA.(3)

4. Cardiovascular disease
In the examination of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of cardiovascular protection of green tea polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), found that The protective effect of EGCG is due to its ability to decrease lipid peroxidation, oxidative stress and the production of nitric oxide (NO) radicals by inhibiting the expression of iNOS. EGCG also ameliorates the overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators, reduces the activity of NF-kappaB and AP-1 and the subsequent formation of peroxynitrite with NO and reactive oxygen species. Thus, EGCG effectively mitigates cellular damage by lowering the inflammatory reaction and reducing the lipid peroxidation and NO generated radicals leading to the oxidative stress. Green tea is proposed to be a dietary supplement in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases in which oxidative stress and proinflammation are the principal causes, according to "Green tea polyphenols as an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agent for cardiovascular protection' by Tipoe GL, Leung TM, Hung MW, Fung ML.(4)

5. Sjogren’s syndrome (SS)
In the evuation of the Protection of glandular acinar cells from autoimmune-induced damage to Sjogren’s syndrome (SS) patients, found that EGCG is able to protect the NOD mouse submandibular glands from autoimmune-induced inflammation, and reduces serum autoantibody levels. Abnormal proliferation, rather than apoptosis, appears to be a characteristic of the NOD mouse gland that is normalized by EGCG, according to "

Effects of oral consumption of the green tea polyphenol EGCG in a murine model for human Sjogren’s syndrome, an autoimmune disease" by Kevin Gillespie, DMD, Isamu Kodani, MD, PhD, Douglas P. Dickinson, PhD, Kalu U.E. Ogbureke, MD, PhD, Amy M. Camba, BS, Mengjie Wu, DMD, PhD, Stephen Looney, PhD, Tin-Chun Chu, Haiyan Qin, MS, Frederick Bisch, DMD, Mohamed Sharawy, PhD, George S. Schuster, DDS, PhD, and Stephen D. De Hsu, PhD (5)

6. Endometriosis
In the investigation of the effects of EGCG on angiogenesis signal transduction were further characterized in a human endothelial cell line, found that EGCG, but not vitamin E, inhibited microvessels in endometriotic implants. EGCG selectively suppressed vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC) and tyrosine kinase receptor VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) expression. EGCG down-regulated VEGFC/VEGFR2 signaling through c-JUN, interferon-γ, matrix metalloproteinase 9, and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 3 pathways for endothelial proliferation, inflammatory response, and mobility. EGCG also suppressed VEGFC expression and reduced VEGFR2 and ERK activation in endothelial cells. VEGFC supplementation attenuated the inhibitory effects by EGCG, according to "Green tea epigallocatechin-3-gallate inhibits angiogenesis and suppresses vascular endothelial growth factor C/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 expression and signaling in experimental endometriosis in vivo" by Hui Xu, M.D., Ph.D., Christian M. Becker, M.D., Wai Ting Lui, M.Phil., Ching Yan Chu, M.Phil., Tina N. Davis, Andrew L. Kung, M.D., Ph.D., Amy E. Birsner, Ph.D., Robert J. D’Amato, M.D., Ph.D., Gene Chi Wai Man, M.Phil., Chi Chiu Wang, M.D., Ph.D.(6)

7. Chronic neuropathic pain
In the analyzing the effect of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on spinal inflammation and immune response in neuropathic pain, found that the TLR4 signaling pathway plays an important role in the occurrence and development of neuropathic pain, and the therapy targeting TLR4 might be a novel strategy in the treatment of neuropathic pain, according to "Effects of intrathecalepigallocatechin gallate, an inhibitor of Toll-like receptor 4, on chronic neuropathic pain in rats" by Kuang X, Huang Y, Gu HF, Zu XY, Zou WY, Song ZB, Guo QL.(7)

8. Acute neurocognitive effects
In the investigationwhether the flavonoid epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) modulates brain activity and self-reported mood in a double-blind, placebo controlled crossover study,
found that EGCG administration was associated with a significant overall increase in alpha, beta and theta activity, also reflected in overall EEG activity, more dominant in midline frontal and central regions, specifically in the frontal gyrus and medial frontal gyrus. In comparison to placebo the EGCG treatment also increased self-rated calmness and stress, according to "Acute neurocognitive effects ofepigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)" by Scholey A, Downey LA, Ciorciari J, Pipingas A, Nolidin K, Finn M, Wines M, Catchlove S, Terrens A, Barlow E, Gordon L, Stough C.(8)

9. Antiviral activity
In examination of the synthesis and antiviral activities of various quercetin derivatives with substitution of C3, C3', and C5 hydroxyl functions with various phenolic ester, alkoxy, and aminoalkoxy moieties, found that newly synthesized compounds, quercetin-3-gallate which is structurally related toEGCG showed comparable antiviral activity against influenza virus (porcine H1N1 strain) to that ofEGCG with improved in vitro therapeutic index, according to "Synthesis and antiviral activity of substituted quercetins" by Thapa M, Kim Y, Desper J, Chang KO, Hua DH.(9)

10. Pro-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties
In the comparison of mouse mammary carcinoma (BA) cells and transplanted BA tumors growing in C3H mice, treated with PH-mediated PDT and select groups of treated cells and mice also received EGCG and then cytotoxicity, tumor response, and expression of survival molecules were evaluated in all experimental groups, found that the polyphenol EGCG improves PDT efficacy by increasing tumor apoptosis and decreasing expression of pro-survival and angiogenic molecules within the tumor microenvironment, according to "Pro-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties of the green tea constituent epigallocatechin gallate increase photodynamic therapy responsiveness" by Ferrario A, Luna M, Rucker N, Wong S, Gomer CJ.(10)

11. Neuroprotective effects
In the evaluation of whether the green tea extract, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), could prevent an ovariectomy-induced overactive bladder, found that ovary hormone deficiency induced overactive bladder dysfunction via intramural nerve damage and muscarinic receptor overexpression. EGCG prevented ovariectomy-induced bladder dysfunction through neuroprotective effects in a dose-dependent fashion, according to "Neuroprotection of green tea catechins on surgical menopause-induced overactive bladder in a rat model" by Juan YS, Chuang SM, Long CY, Chen CH, Levin RM, Liu KM, Huang CH.(11)
12. Alzheimer's Disease
In the evaluation of the effect in Alzheimer's Disease, after internalization of Aβ(42) into human neuroblastoma (SH-EP) cells, with moderately intense 670-nm laser light (1000 Wm(-2)) and/or treated with epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), found that irradiation with moderate levels of 670-nm light and EGCG supplementation complementarily reduces Aβ aggregates in SH-EP cells. Transcranial penetration of moderate levels of red to near-infrared (NIR) light has already been amply exploited in the treatment of patients with acute stroke; the blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration of EGCG has been demonstrated in animals. We hope that our approach will inspire a practical therapy for AD, according to "670 nm Laser Light and EGCG Complementarily Reduce Amyloid-β Aggregates in Human Neuroblastoma Cells: Basis for Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease?" by Sommer AP, Bieschke J, Friedrich RP, Zhu D, Wanker EE, Fecht HJ, Mereles D, Hunstein W.(12)

Obesity is a medical condition of excess body fat accumulated overtime, while overweight is a condition of excess body weight relatively to the height. According to the Body Mass Index(BMI), a BMI between 25 to 29.9 is considered over weight, while a BMI of over 30 is an indication of obesity. According to the statistic, 68% of American population are either overweight or obese.

You can calculate your BMI index BMI= weight (kg)/ height (m2)

The Studies of Yoga and Physical fitness

In the samples of 204 subjects were recruited from eight senior activity centres and 176 subjects completed the study. Subjects were randomly assigned into three groups based on the centres: (1) Experiment I: complete silver yoga with stretching and meditation, (2) Experiment II: shortened silver yoga without the guided-imagery meditation and (3) Wait-list control. The interventions were conducted three times per week for 24 weeks. Physical fitness indicators included body compositions, cardiovascular-respiratory functions, physical functions and the range of motion, the result showed that the physical fitness of older adults in both the 70-minute complete silver yoga group and the 55-minute shortened silveryoga group had significantly improved after the interventions. It was recommended that the silver yoga programme be shortened by eliminating the guided-imagery meditation (1).

Most Common Diseases of 50 Plus: Thyroid disease: Acute thyroiditis Prevention - The Diet

Thyroid disease

Thyroid disease is defined as a condition of malfunction of thyroid. Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is over active and produces too much thyroid hormones.

Acute thyroiditis

Acute thyroiditis is defined as a condition of as a result of relatively high amount of iodine in the tissue causes of microbial inflammatory thyroiditis, pyrogenic thyroiditis and bacterial thyroiditis. Acute infectious thyroiditis is very rare, accounting for about 0.1-0.7% of all thyroiditis.

The Preventive Diet

Diet to prevent Acute infectious thyroiditis
1. Broccoli
Sulforaphane (SFN), a natural constituent of cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, etc.. In the study to investigate the role of prosurvival, cell death and inflammatory signaling pathways using a rodent model of CIS-induced nephropathy, and explored the effects of SFN on these processes, found that Cisplatin triggered marked activation of stress signaling pathways [p53, Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38-α mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)] and promoted cell death in the kidneys (increased DNA fragmentation, caspases-3/7 activity, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated uridine triphosphate nick-end labeling), associated with attenuation of various prosurvival signaling pathways [e.g., extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p38-β MAPK]. Cisplatin also markedly enhanced inflammation in the kidneys [promoted NF-κB activation, increased expression of adhesion molecules ICAM and VCAM, enhanced tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels and inflammatory cell infiltration]. These effects were significantly attenuated by pretreatment of rodents with SFN. Thus, the cisplatin-induced nephropathy is associated with activation of various cell death and proinflammatory pathways (p53, JNK, p38-α, TNF-α and NF-κB) and impairments of key prosurvival signaling mechanisms (ERK and p38-β)(29).

2. Fresh ginger
In the investigation of the effectiveness of chemical constituents of Zingiber officinale Rosc. (Zingiberaceae)in treating oxidative stress found that compounds [6]-gingerol, [8]-gingerol, [10]-gingerol and [6]-shogaol of the herb scavenges of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picyrlhydrazyl (DPPH), superoxide and hydroxyl radicals, inhibitsof N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (f-MLP) induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN), lipopolysaccharide induced nitrite and prostaglandin E(2) production in RAW 264.7 cells, according to the study of “Comparative antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of [6]-gingerol, [8]-gingerol, [10]-gingerol and [6]-shogaol” by Dugasani S, Pichika MR, Nadarajah VD, Balijepalli MK, Tandra S, Korlakunta JN(30).

3. Green tea
In the preparation of the gel of Chinese medicine catechu, and to observe the release mechanism in vitro and anti-inflammatory activity in rats, found that the optimum condition of extraction from catechu was as follows, the concentration of ethanol, ratio of raw material to solvent, ultrasonic time, and extraction temperature were 50% , 1: 12, 35 min and 60 degrees C, respectively. The formulation of catechu gel was carbomer-9 400.5 g, glycerol 5.0 g, the extracts of catechu 50.0 mL, and triethanomine 0.5 mL The gel was semitransparent and stable. The drugs released quickly. The catechu gel reduced the paw edema considerably in dose-dependent manner compared to carrageenan-induced rat, according to “[Preparation and pharmacodynamics studies on anti-inflammatory effect of catechu gel].[Article in Chinese]” by Zheng X, Zheng C.(31).

4. Legume
in the measurement of glucose, insulin, and adipokines/cytokines in 75 healthy postmenopausal women who were randomized to receive 20 g of soy protein with 160 mg of total isoflavones (64 mg genistein, 63 mg daidzein, and 34 mg glycitein) or 20 g of soy protein placebo for 12 weeks. Women taking estrogen discontinued therapy at least 3 months before the study, found that after 12 weeks of treatment, there were significant positive changes in tumor necrosis factor alpha levels within the placebo group (P < 0.0001) and adiponectin levels within the isoflavone group (P = 0.03). Comparison of pre-post change between the groups showed a small but significant increase in serum adiponectin levels in the isoflavone group (P = 0.03) compared with the placebo group. No significant changes were seen in any other parameter between the two groups, according to "Effects of high-dose isoflavones on metabolic and inflammatory markers in healthy postmenopausal women" by Charles C, Yuskavage J, Carlson O, John M, Tagalicud AS, Maggio M, Muller DC, Egan J, Basaria S.(32).

5. Turmeric
According to the study of evaluation of anti-inflammatory property of curcumin (diferuloyl methane) in patients with postoperative inflammation. by Satoskar RR, Shah SJ, Shenoy SG., poated in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, researchers wrote that In this model of postoperative inflammation, the anti-inflammatory activity of curcumin (diferuloyl methane) was investigated in comparison with phenylbutazone and placebo. Phenylbutazone and curcumin produced a better anti-inflammatory response than placebo.

Dietary Minerals

Dietary Minerals are the group of minerals which is essential for our body to sustain normal functions and physical health.

Potassium

In General, potassium is a very essential mineral to the human body for maintaining to build proteins and muscle, break down carbohydrates, maintain normal body growth and normal heart electricity, etc.

The Effect of Lower serum potassium in hemodialysis patients

The Normal serum potassium is 3.5 to 5.5 mEq/L. The total body potassium is lower in females and in older patients, serum potassium concentration is independent of sex and age.
Hemodialysis is the most common method to remove waste products for treatment in advanced and permanent kidney failure.

The benefits
Albumin is a protein made by the liver and found in your blood with function to help your body maintain fluid balance. Hypoalbuminemia, a medical condition where levels of albumin in blood serum are abnormally low characterized by with lower Serum potassium and lower Serum sodium. In a study of Lower serum potassium combined with lower sodium concentrations predict long-term mortality risk in hemodialysis patients, suggested that hemodialysis patients with hypoalbuminemia combined with lower normalized protein catabolism rate (nPCR) are associated with is associated with worse health outcomes, more complex clinical management, and increased health care costs and those patients with higher levels of serum potassium and serum sodium tended to have better clinical outcomes. Other in the study of the same in chronic. indicated that hypoalbuminemia patients also had a lower cumulative survival rate than hyperkalemia (hyperK) patients.

Women Health: Premenstrual syndrome(PMS): Causes of Breast Tenderness

Premenstrual syndrome(PMS)

Premenstrual syndrome is defined as faulty function of the ovaries related to the women's menstrual cycle, effected over 70% to 90% of women in the US and lesser for women in Southeast Asia because of difference in living style and social structure. The syndrome also interferes women's physical and emotional states, and daily activities as a result of hormone fluctuation and occurs one to two weeks before menstruation and then declines when the period starts.

Causes of Breast Tenderness

Breast tenderness effects more than 70% of women in the US alone. Sometimes, it is so painful that some women afraid to be hugged and are experience uncomfortable during sleep.

1. Caffeine
Caffeine is a stimulant, containing methylxanthines, a chemical exhibited the symptoms of PMS(4) including breast tenderness(5)(6), breast pain(1)(2) and induced fibrocystic breast disease(2)(3). Reducing intake of foods containing caffeine such as coffee, tea 3 to 4 days before period may help to reduce the symptoms of breast tenderness and pain(1)(4).

2. Stress
Prolactin produced abundant by during baby feeding(9), may also be released during prolong period of stress(7)(8) to cause breast tenderness(10)(11)(12) for some women with PMS.

2. Hormone imbalance
Some women may experience breast changes during menstrual cycle(13). The problem is linked to the cycle, caused by the fluctuation of levels of estrogen and progesterone as resulting of hormonal imbalance(14).

3. Sluggish Liver
Liver is important in carbohydrate(15), fat(16) and protein(17) metabolism. Sluggish liver causes abnormal function of liver in regulating the levels of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids(18), and induced imbalance of levels of PGE2 induced breast tenderness and pain(19)(20).

4. Nutrients deficiency
a)Vitamins and minerals deficiency
For what ever reason, women with pre menstrual syndrome are found to have low levels of micronutrients(22)(23)(24), of that can lead to over production of levels of PGE2(24) which causes PMS including breast tenderness and pain(19)(20).

b) Omega 3 fatty acid deficiency
As we mention before, Omega 3 fatty is important to inhibit the levels of PG2(16). Deficiency of Omega 3 fatty acid causes high levels of PGE2(16) in the bloodstream induced breast tenderness and pain(19)(20).

5. Prostaglandins hormone
Balancing of prostaglandins hormone is vital in regulating the uterus muscles(21) during menstrual cycle. If the levels of PGE2(19)(20) of the prostaglandins is getting too high, it may cause breast tenderness and breast pain(19)(20) for women with PMS.
