Avocado, the Fruit Which Kills Breast Cancer Cells in Vivo and Vitro
Avocado may be considered a potentially functional fruit for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer, some scientists suggested.
Breast cancer is the medical condition that starts on the surface of the inner lining of breast tissue in the early stage. On this stage, a small lump may be found when touched.
The 5 years survival rate at this stage is 100%.
However, at the later stage, malignant cancers cell can travel a distance away from the original site to infect other healthy tissue and organs.
The lifetime risk for a woman to develop breast cancer is 1/8 in the US.
The epidemiological studies suggested that women who carry the mutated gene BRAC1 and 2 are associated with substantially increased risk of the disease onset.
Men who carry the mutated gene BRCA2 have a 7% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer.
Sadly, women who carry the abnormal BRCA1 orBRCA2 gene have about a 60% risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetimes, compared to only 12.5% for other women.
In a comment of the study published on June 20 in the Journal of the American Medical Association Dr. García-Closas, M.D., Dr.P.H., deputy director of NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, who was not involved in the research. said, “This study has confirmed estimates of the risk of developing cancer for women who are mutation carriers—that confirmation is reassuring for both women and the healthcare team who make important care decisions.”
Therefore, suggestions to these women may include intensive early surveillance, use of chemoprevention, and prophylactic surgery may be necessary for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer.
Avocados are a commercially valuable fruit and are cultivated in tropical climates throughout the world, it is a green-skinned, pear-shaped fruit that ripens after harvesting and native to the Caribbean, Mexico, South America, and Central America, belonging to the flowering plant family Lauraceae.
Chemical constituents of avocado include
The fruit contains campesterol, high amounts of β-sitosterol (average 76.4 mg/100 g); fatty acids (approximately 60% monounsaturated, 20% saturated, and 20% unsaturated); high amounts of glutathione (27.7 mg/100 g); approximately 2% protein; 6–9% carbohydrates and sugars (glucose, fructose, d-mannoheptulose, a taloheptulose, and an alloheptulose); two bitter substances (1-acetoxy-2,4-dihydroxyheptadeca-16-ene and 1,2,4-trihydroxyheptadeca-16-ene); carnitine; proanthocyanidins; persenones A and B.
Persin, the toxic chemical compound found in the fruits and leaves of avocado inhibited human breast cancer cell line, in the testing of synthetic analogs of the avocado-produced toxin persin by activated the program cells death pathway.
When using combined with tamoxifen, the small amounts of tamoxifen needed to perform similar chemo effects, thus reducing the toxicity to the healthy cells that normally killed by the presence of tamoxifen.
Futhermore, in the study to examine the anticancer properties of Persea declinata (Bl.) Kosterm bark methanolic crude extract (PDM), researchers at the University of Malaya launched an investigation to test the PDM in the exhibition of antiproliferative effect in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells.
Application of the PDM exhibited a potent antiproliferative effect in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells, with an IC50 value of 16.68 µg/mL after 48 h of treatment.
Injection of PDM caused cell cycle arrest and subsequent apoptosis in MCF-7 cells, as seen by increase population at the G0/G1 phase and, higher lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, and DNA fragmentation, the indications of cancer cells apoptosis.
Additional analysis suggested that PDM elevated the expression of ROS in the induction of cancer cell death through cytotoxicity observed by the perturbation of mitochondrial membrane potential, cell permeability, and activation of caspases-3/7, in the execution phase of apoptosis.
The results of cancer cells apoptosis can be observed through the increased the expression of the proapoptotic molecule, Bax, but decreased the expression of prosurvival proteins, Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, in a dose-dependent manner after PDM administration.
The finding strongly suggested that PDM isolated from avocado could inhibit proliferation in MCF-7 cells via cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induction.
Taken altogether, avocado may be considered a functional fruit for the prevention and an adjunct therapy combined with conventional medicine for the treatment of breast cancer.
However, further data collection large example size and multi-centers studies performed with human consumption of the whole food or its bioactive compounds during the course of the disease will be necessary to complete the picture of the avocado anti-breast cancer possibilities.

Dried Pea, The Legume Which May Process Anti Colon Cancer Potency
Dried peas with high of fiber may have a potential effect in the prevention and treatment of colon cancer.
Colon cancer is a chronic and medical condition characterized by cells growth uncontrollably and disorderly that start on the surface of the inner lining of colon tissue.
At the advanced stage, the cancerous cell can travel a distance away from the original site to affect other healthy tissue and organ through the circulation of blood and fluids.
The exact causes of colon cancer are unknown. However, researchers do know that unhealthy diet and lifestyle with physical inactivity are associated with a substantially increased risk of colon cancer.
Epidemiological studies agreed that the Western diet is associated with the increased risk and recurrent risk of colon cancer.
Ms. Marilisa Racco at the National Online Journalist, Smart Living Global News wrote "There’s more bad news for lovers of red meat and refined grains — also known as a Western diet — from cancer researchers. A new study has found that a pro-inflammatory diet that’s heavy in processed red and organ meat, refined grains, and sugary drinks, will significantly increase the risk of developing colorectal cancer in both men and women".
Furthermore, a higher intake of a Western dietary pattern after cancer diagnosis was also associated with recurrence and death in colon cancer patients.
Publish on the Public Medical Literature, the study includes a total of 1009 patients with stage III colon cancer.
Researchers said, "During a median follow-up of 5.3 years for the overall cohort, 324 patients had a cancer recurrence, 223 patients died with cancer recurrence, and 28 died without documented cancer recurrence".
These result suggested that genetic preposition and an unhealthy diet and lifestyle the major risk factors that associate to the onset of colon cancer and recurrent colon cancer.
Dried peas are the small but nutritionally mighty member of the legume family, the genus Pisum belonging to the family Fabaceae.
The bean has a healthy source of protein, fibers, vitamins, and minerals that are good for everyone diet.
Besides it main component of the polyphenolic compound, dried bean also contains saponin pisatin, L-pipecolic acid, glycoside-Pisatoside, tocopherols, cerebroside, etc.
In the study to reaffirm the polyphenolics and saponins effect in the stimulation of antioxidant enzymes in the host and anticarcinogenic activity, researchers launched an investigation to examine the naturally occurring plant protease inhibitors which have potential health-promoting properties within the mammalian gastrointestinal tract against the risk of colon cancer.
Bowman-Birk inhibitors (BBI) isolated from peas exerts anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory properties in the large intestine by surviving from both acidic conditions and the action of proteolytic enzymes in the stomach and small intestine,
A recombinant form of TI1B (rTI1B), representing a major BBI isoinhibitor from pea also inhibited the growth of human colorectal HT29 cells in vitro.
The proliferation of HT29 colon cancer cells was significantly affected by the injection of rTI1B in a dose-dependent manner (IC50 = 31 (sd 7) μm), compared to the novel engineered mutant.
Interestingly, application of rTI1B induced HT29 colon cancer cells apoptosis without affecting the nearby healthy cells.
Furthermore, the rTI1B proved to be active against trypsin and chymotrypsin in facilitating the colorectal carcinogenesis and promotes proliferation, invasion, and metastasis.
Proteases inhibitor isolated from the peas may process a potential chemopreventive effect during the early stages of colorectal carcinogenesis.
Adding 1 or 2 portions of dried peas into a daily diet in high colon cancer risk patients may reduce the incidence of colon cancer.
Taken all together, dried peas may be considered a function legume in the prevention and adjunct therapy for the treatment of colon cancer.
However, further data collection large example size and multi-centers studies performed with human consumption of the dried peas or its bioactive compounds during the course of the disease will be necessary to complete the picture of its anti-colon cancer possibilities.

Strawberries, The Functional Food Which Inhibits the Risk Factors of the Onset of Atherosclerosis
Strawberries may be considered a functional food that blocks the plaque accumulated in the arteries, causing atherosclerosis, some scientists suggested.
Atherosclerosis is a medical condition of heart disease characterized by plaque building up in the inner wall of the arteries.
Where arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the heart and other organs and tissue of the body and plaque is the substance made up mostly with fat, cholesterol, calcium.
According to the statistics, atherosclerosis causes 32% of deaths of heart disease. The prevalent rate of the disease onset among adults of 20 years and above is 13.8%.
Dr. Singh RB, the lead author in the assessment of diet and exercise and lifestyle on risk of atherosclerosis conducted a randomized, single-blind, controlled trial, 621 patients assigned either intervention diet A (group A, 310 patients) or control diet B (group B, 311 patients) for a period of 24 weeks.
Where participants of group A are received: (1) a diet with a higher percentage of calories from fruits and vegetables and complex carbohydrates; (2) a higher polyunsaturated/saturated fat ratio diet; and (3) a larger amount of soluble dietary fiber, antioxidant vitamins and minerals and low saturated fat and cholesterol than group fB. Group A patients also did more physical and yogic exercises than group B.
After 24 weeks of intervention, he wrote. " There was a significant decrease in serum total cholesterol (13.3%), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (16.9%), triglycerides (19.2%), fasting blood glucose (19.5%) and blood pressures (11.5/6.2 mm Hg) in the intervention group compared with initial levels and changes in group B".
These result suggested that a healthy diet accompanied by moderate exercise are the major factors that can substantially reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. In other words, people who follow the Western diet with physical inactivity are at higher risk to the onset of the disease.
Strawberries are a genius of Fragaria × ananassa belonging to the family Roseaceae.
They have been grown all over the world in a suitable climate for commercial profits and health benefits.
The major chemical compounds of strawberry include anthocyanin and ellagitannins and p-Hydroxybenzoic acid, p-coumaric acid, ellagic acid, cyanidin-3-glucoside, pelargonidin-3-glucoside, kaempferol, quercetin, and myricetin.
Intake of strawberry daily to improve the potent antioxidants status in the body can reduce cardiovascular risk factors, such as elevated blood pressure, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and inflammation in limited studies.
Dr. Basu A, the team leader at the Oklahoma State University, Stillwater study showed that freeze-dried strawberry supplementation improves blood pressure, impaired glucose, dyslipidemia, or circulating adhesion molecules in obese subjects with metabolic syndrome, thereby lowering cardiovascular risk factors in these subjects suggested.
The randomized controlled trial included 27 subjects with metabolic syndrome (2 males and 25 females; body mass index, 37.5 +/- 2.15 kg/m(2); age, 47.0 +/- 3.0 years [means +/- SE]) consumed 4 cups of freeze-dried strawberry beverage (50 g freeze-dried strawberries approximately 3 cups fresh strawberries) or equivalent amounts of fluids (controls, 4 cups of water) daily for 8 weeks.
Strawberry supplementation intake significantly decreased total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (5.8 +/- 0.2 to 5.2 +/- 0.2 mmol/L and 3.5 +/- 0.2 to 3.1 +/- 0.1 mmol/L, respectively [means +/- SE], P < .05) and low-density lipoprotein particles compared to controls at the week 8.
Furthermore, strawberry supplementation also decreased circulating levels of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 vs controls at the end of the study.
The team at the final report said, "short-term freeze-dried strawberry supplementation improved selected atherosclerotic risk factors, including dyslipidemia and circulating adhesion molecules in subjects with metabolic syndrome".
In additional examing the therapeutic roles of strawberries, blueberries, and cranberries in metabolic syndrome, a prediabetic state characterized by several cardiovascular risk factors, Dr. Basu A said, "strawberries lowering total and LDL-cholesterol, but not triglycerides, and decreasing surrogate biomarkers of atherosclerosis (malondialdehyde and adhesion molecules)".
Strawberry also extended a lowering systolic and diastolic blood pressure and lipid oxidation and improving insulin resistance but in the lesser effect compared to the blueberry
Cranberry juice selectively decreasing biomarkers of lipid oxidation (oxidized LDL) and inflammation (adhesion molecules) in metabolic syndrome compared to lesser effect in those of strawberry.
The tested berries demonstrated a potential effect in up-regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase activity in the protection of the cardiovascular system, reduction of renal oxidative damage, and inhibition of the activity of carbohydrate digestive enzymes or angiotensin-converting enzyme in controlling the blood pressure by regulating the volume of fluids in the blood.
Taken all together, strawberry may be considered a function\al food for the prevention of atherosclerosis and combined with the primary therapy for the treatment of the disease.

The Herbs That Protect Digestive Function Against Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), also known as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), gastric reflux disease, or acid reflux disease, is a chronic condition characterized by liquid stomach acid refluxing back up from the stomach into the esophagus, causing heartburn.
According to the study of "Updated guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease." by DeVault KR, Castell DO; American College of Gastroenterology, GERD is defined as symptoms or mucosal damage produced by the abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus.
Most common symptoms are burning sensation in your chest (heartburn), chest pain, regurgitation of food or sour liquid and sensation of a lump in your throat.
In the severe case, people with GERD may experience symptoms of difficulty swallowing, lump in the throat asthma,... and chronic cough.
According to the Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, GERD may also facilitate symptoms of chest pain, similar to those with noncardiac chest pain (NCCP)(5).
The causes of GERD are not fully understood. However, some researchers suggested that obesity, poor diet, lack of physical activity, consumption of tobacco and alcohol, and respiratory diseases are associated with the prevalent risk of the diseases(6).
Properly manage diet such as two meals a day with an intake of only fluids in between, whenever the patient feels hungry or thirsty, is a useful dietary regimen for the management of GERD(7) and avoid foods and beverages that trigger GERD symptoms(8).
Use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may be effective but the long-term application may cause severe side effects.
Types of food to prevent and treat Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
1. Peppermint
According to the study of the review of the bioactivity and potential health benefits of peppermint tea (Mentha piperita L.)." by McKay DL, Blumberg JB. posted in PubMed, in vitro, peppermint has significant antimicrobial and antiviral activities, strong antioxidant and antitumor actions, and some antiallergenic potential.
Animal model studies demonstrate a relaxation effect on gastrointestinal (GI) tissue, analgesic and anesthetic effects in the central and peripheral nervous system.
However, human studies of peppermint leaf are limited and clinical trials of peppermint tea are absent.
Adverse reactions to peppermint tea have not been reported, although caution has been urged for peppermint oil therapy in patients with GI reflux, hiatal hernia or kidney stones(1).
2. Ginger
Gingerol, is also known as gingerol, a phytochemical of Flavonoids (polyphenols) found in fresh ginger and in a variety of other plants.
Ginger has been used for thousands of years to enhance the function of digestive system and treat stomach distress including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and indigestion, acid reflux, motion sickness, dyspepsia, etc. due to its due to its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and analgesic properties.
According to the study of " Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) and the gingerols inhibit the growth of Cag A+ strains of Helicobacter pylori", the methanol extract of ginger rhizome inhibited the growth of all 19 strains in vitro with a minimum inhibitory concentration range of 6.25-50 micrograms/ml.
One fraction of the crude extract, containing the gingerols, was active and inhibited the growth of all HP strains with a MIC range of 0.78 to 12.5 micrograms/ml and with significant activity against the CagA+ strains(2).
Other research of [6]-gingerol, [8]-gingerol, [10]-gingerol, and [6]-shogaol. and it effects in nausea and vomiting found that the efficiency of ginger in reducing nausea and vomiting may be based on a weak inhibitory effect of gingerols and shogaols at cholinergic M (3) receptors and serotonergic 5-HT (3) receptors.

According to the study of "Updated guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease." by DeVault KR, Castell DO; American College of Gastroenterology, GERD is defined as symptoms or mucosal damage produced by the abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus.
Most common symptoms are burning sensation in your chest (heartburn), chest pain, regurgitation of food or sour liquid and sensation of a lump in your throat.
In the severe case, people with GERD may experience symptoms of difficulty swallowing, lump in the throat asthma,... and chronic cough.
According to the Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, GERD may also facilitate symptoms of chest pain, similar to those with noncardiac chest pain (NCCP)(5).
The causes of GERD are not fully understood. However, some researchers suggested that obesity, poor diet, lack of physical activity, consumption of tobacco and alcohol, and respiratory diseases are associated with the prevalent risk of the diseases(6).
Properly manage diet such as two meals a day with an intake of only fluids in between, whenever the patient feels hungry or thirsty, is a useful dietary regimen for the management of GERD(7) and avoid foods and beverages that trigger GERD symptoms(8).
Use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may be effective but the long-term application may cause severe side effects.
Types of food to prevent and treat Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
1. Peppermint
According to the study of the review of the bioactivity and potential health benefits of peppermint tea (Mentha piperita L.)." by McKay DL, Blumberg JB. posted in PubMed, in vitro, peppermint has significant antimicrobial and antiviral activities, strong antioxidant and antitumor actions, and some antiallergenic potential.
Animal model studies demonstrate a relaxation effect on gastrointestinal (GI) tissue, analgesic and anesthetic effects in the central and peripheral nervous system.
However, human studies of peppermint leaf are limited and clinical trials of peppermint tea are absent.
Adverse reactions to peppermint tea have not been reported, although caution has been urged for peppermint oil therapy in patients with GI reflux, hiatal hernia or kidney stones(1).
2. Ginger
Gingerol, is also known as gingerol, a phytochemical of Flavonoids (polyphenols) found in fresh ginger and in a variety of other plants.
Ginger has been used for thousands of years to enhance the function of digestive system and treat stomach distress including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and indigestion, acid reflux, motion sickness, dyspepsia, etc. due to its due to its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and analgesic properties.
According to the study of " Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) and the gingerols inhibit the growth of Cag A+ strains of Helicobacter pylori", the methanol extract of ginger rhizome inhibited the growth of all 19 strains in vitro with a minimum inhibitory concentration range of 6.25-50 micrograms/ml.

The Potent functional Food Which Protects the Brain Against Onset of Neuro-degenerative Disorders, Scientists Reveal
Carrots may have a profound and positive effect in reducing risk, progression, and treatment of the neurodegenerative disorder, some scientists suggested.
Neurodegeneration is the progressive loss of neurons including the death of neurons, characterized by structure loss induced reduction of brain function.
The exact causes of neurodegenerative disorders are unknown. Researchers also do not why people with the same health conditions, some are susceptible to certain neurodegenerative disorders such as
Huntington's disease. ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), or Lou Gehrig's disease, Parkinson's disease or other forms of dementia, while others do not.
However, some researchers suggested that genetic mutation inherited from parents, certain illness and traumatic injury to the brain are some of the major causes of the onset of the disease.
According to Dr. Chaudhuri K, in the study of unhealthy diet and lifestyle on risk of neurodegenerative disorders, the onset of some neurodegenerative disorder was attributed to the unwholesome diet that disturbed mental health in initiating etiopathogenesis of senile dementia.
Further differentiation showed that psychological syndromes such as disturbed sleep, anxiety, tension, depression, difficulty in concentration, and memory, and the tendency to indulge in defective dietary habits, Kapha vitiating diets, and lifestyle are some predominant risk factors associated to the development of the disease.
Carrot, a root vegetable with an orange color is a subspecies of Daucus carota, belonging to the family Apiaceae, native to Asian and Europe.
In the evaluate the neurodegenerative disorder such as Alzheimer and Parkinson's diseases affecting the central nervous system with debilitating effect to the patient, researchers at the University Technology of Mauritius launched a study to test the efficacy of flavonoids, found in many vegetables including carrot.
Flavonoids are phytochemicals containing numbers of the member, including curcumin, lycopene, ginsenoside, vitexin, and baicalin with a proven record of anti-cancer and antioxidant and immunomodulation properties in numbers of studies.
At the results of the analysis, researchers showed that application of flavonoid to the brain ischemia patient also exerts potential neuroprotective effects by increasing neuronal viability, tissue perfusion, and cerebral blood flow and reducing ischemic-related apoptosis.
Moreover, patients treated with flavonoid also demonstrated a significantly anti-amyloidogenic effect and reduced the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the brain that has a strong implication in patients with Pakistan's disease.
After taking into account of other co and confounders, researchers concluded that flavonoid found in numbers vegetables and fruits, including carrot, may be served as a potential therapeutic agent in brain disorders.
Further differentiation of the oxidative stress which causes neurodegenerative disorder, including oxidative damage to neuron in induction of mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis, scientists at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region conducted a experiment to test the effect of lycopene, a polyunsaturated hydrocarbon with the highest antioxidant capacity compared to the other carotenoids against the expression of the diseases.
In rat model randomly divided into 5 groups: the sham group, the spinal cord injury (SCI) group and 3 SCI groups pre-treated with lycopene (5, 10, or 20mg/kg) researchers found that
* Spinal cord injury (SCI) group without treatment group displays a significant increase of malondialdehyde (MDA) content and a decrease of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) levels, compared to other groups.
Malondialdehyde (MDA) the final form of polyunsaturated fatty acids peroxidation is considered as a natural marker for oxidative stress.
* Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) are natural antioxidants produced the host body tissue with an aim to maintain the balance of ratio of reactive oxygen species and antioxidant in the body.
The expression of lower levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) is a strong indication of overabundant free radicals, compared to levels of antioxidant in the body.
* Group treated with lycopene regardless to concentration exerted an overwhelming effect in blocking the change of mRNA of the mitochondrial membrane caused by spinal cord injury (SCI), including cytochrome b and mitochondrial transcription factor A (Tfam), with functions in the induction of mitochondrial dysfunction.
Cytochrome b, a protein in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells functioned as a part of the electron transport chain which was oxidated in this case.
Mitochondrial transcription factor A (mtTFA or Tfam), a protein with functions as a key regulator of mammalian mitochondrial (mt) DNA transcription and replication which was altered caused by the presence of MDA.
Further analysis also found that application of lycopene also reduces the risk of neurons cell apoptosis through decreased levels of pro-inflammatory and increased levels of anti-inflammatory expression in the tested rats.
These results suggested that lycopene found in vegetable including carrot significantly ameliorated oxidative damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cell apoptosis via some parameters indicated above.
Dr. Hu W, the lead authors said in the classification of doses application said, " lycopene significantly ameliorated the hind limb motor disturbances in the SCI+lyco10 group and the SCI+lyco20 group compared with the SCI group".
Taken together, carrot with a high amount of bioactive flavonoids, particularly lycopene may be considered a functional food in reducing risk and treatment of various forms of the neurodegenerative disorder, including Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases.

Green Tea, The Beverage In the Alleviated Symptoms, Reduces Risk and Treatment of Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR)
Green tea may have a therapeutic and positive effect in reducing the symptoms, risk, progression, and treatment of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), some scientists suggested.
Polymyalgia rheumatica an inflammatory disease with muscle pain and stiffness, especially in the shoulders, affecting mostly older adults beyond the age of 65.
The exact causes of polymyalgia rheumatica are unknown. However, researchers do know that certain prevalent risk factors are associated with the onset of diseases, such as age, family history, gender, ethnicity and exposure to environmental weather.
Genetic mutations inherited from the parents are also the major risk factor for the development of polymyalgia arthritis such as ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule 1), RANTES (regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed, and presumably secreted).
It is important to know that Giant cell arteritis (GCA) (temporal arteritis) and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) share the common identity, frequently related conditions in people generally over 50 years of age, according to the Dr. Miguel A Gonzalez-Gay in the study of " Genetic epidemiology: Giant cell arteritis and polymyalgia rheumatica".
Symptoms of PMR are depending on the severity of the condition, including aches or pain shoulders, neck, upper arms, buttocks, hips or thighs, and stiffness in affected areas.
People with PMR also experience pain in the morning or after being inactive for a time, limited range of motion in the affected areas.
If you have some of the above symptoms, please check with your doctor to rule out the PMR possibility.
Green tea is a precious drink processed numbers of health benefit and known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world.
In an animal study of inflammatory diseases induced by injection of LPS, researchers found that application of green tea bioactive polyphenols EGCG improves antioxidant status of the host and decreases the production of inflammatory factors, including PMR through its antioxidant properties.
Further analysis suggested that application of EGCG reduced symptoms of inflammation such as pain, tension, stiffness, swelling of the infectious site without affecting the function of immune system in the protection against microorganisms invasion through inhibiting over-expression of tumor necrosis alpha(TNF-α) involved in the systematic inflammatory response to the acute phase of infection.
The bioactive compound also inhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS) in stimulating the production of inflammatory cytokines through stopping the free radicals chain reactions that facilitate inflammation and the precipitate skeletal muscle dysfunction and degradation by infiltrating immune cells to induce direct injury to muscle tissue.
In fact, overproduction of ROS increased expression of mitochondria, NAD(P)H oxidases, xanthine oxidoreductases, and nitric oxide synthases can cause an imbalance of the free radicals and antioxidant ratio, in orchestrated oxidative stress to muscle cells.
The further evaluation suggested that green tea EGCG also reduced expression of interleukin 6 (IL-6), with function in response to infections and tissue injuries.
Long-term overproduction of IL 6 due to the duo factors as a pro and anti-inflammatory protein may increase high-level concentrations of serum amyloid A (SAA), which has been found to induce serious complications of several chronic inflammatory diseases through the generated and deposited amyloid A amyloidosis into the extracellular space in an abnormal, insoluble, fibrillar form,
Moreover, EGCG also attenuated levels of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) in the regulation of innate and adaptive immune functions and served as a pivotal mediator of inflammatory responses through activation of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in promoting muscle wasting, leading to muscle atrophy in the induction of pain and stiffness and swelling.
Importantly, application of green tea EGCG enhanced the natural antioxidant enzymes in the host such as glutathione, an antioxidant enzyme produced naturally found in every cell and tissue of the body.
These actions together with antioxidant initiated by injection of green tea EGCG stimulated cell regeneration, preserved the muscle cells and tissues and prevented muscle tension to precipitate polymyalgia arthritis.
Deficiency of glutathione levels was found to associate to the early onset of polymyalgia rheumatica, inducing symptoms of pain, stiffness, achiness, fatigue, and fever.
Differentiation of the above was supported by conventional medicine corticosteroids, a powerful anti-inflammatory drugs with the function to target pro-inflammation cytokines in the relieved stiffness and pain in patients with polymyalgia arthritis.
Taken all together, green tea and its bioactive polyphenols EGCG may be considered a functional food for alleviating symptoms, risk, progression and treatment of polymyalgia rheumatica(PMR).
However, ingestion green tea supplements should be taken with extreme care as acute liver toxicity has been reported in several medical literatures.

Maternal Coffee Intake > 4 Cups/Day May Increase Risk of Miscarriage, Scientists Suggest
The risk of miscarrying is increased substantially in excessive (over 4 cups/day) coffee drinkers during pregnancy, an Asian study suggested.
A miscarriage, according to the definition is the loss of a fetus before the 20th week of pregnancy.
Believe or not, according to medical literature, as many as many as 50% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage and over 80% of miscarriages are occurring within the first three months of pregnancy.
Some researchers suggested that women who carry mutation genes associated with chromosome gains and losses during embryonic development can lead to miscarriage or the failure of IVF treatments.
Other risk factors associated with an increased risk of miscarriage include aging Age. Women who are older than age 35, previous miscarriages. smoking and excessive alcohol drinking before and during pregnancy have a higher risk of miscarriage compared to younger women,
Chronic medical health conditions such as obesity and uterine or cervical problems can also substantially increase the miscarriage risk.
Coffee, one of the most popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roasted bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.
In a case-controlled study conducted in Milan of 561 (72%) cases of spontaneous abortion and 877 (57%) controls, coffee drinking during the first trimester of the index pregnancy with healthy women who gave birth at term (> 37 weeks gestation) to healthy infants as control, researchers reported that the risk of miscarry is classified as follows
* Coffee intake of 1, 2 or 3, and 4 or more cups of coffee per day are associated with an increased risk of 1.2, 1.8 and 4.0, respectively, compared to nondrinkers.
* The risk of pregnancy loss also is associated with the duration in years of coffee drinking. The estimated multivariate odds ratios of spontaneous abortion were 1.1 in comparison to non-coffee intake group.
Furthermore, in the evaluated effect of caffeine in influence of miscarriage researchers at the Boston University School of Public Health, conducted a prospective cohort study included 5132 Danish women planning pregnancy, enrolled from 2007 to 2010, after carefully assessed the returned beverage consumption on questionnaires, researcher found that a significantly miscarried risk is 1.62 higher in women consuming more than 300 mg/day of caffeine per day, in compared to 1.09 in women who consume <100 mg/day. Specifically, women with daily intake of caffeine of
* <100 mg/day showed a materially associated with SAB risk of 1.09.
* 100-199mg/day showed a materially associated with SAB risk of 0,89.
* 200-299mg/day showed a materially associated with SAB risk of 1.33
Additionally, in prospective cohort study included 15,590 pregnancies from 11,072 women with no history of SAB in the Nurses' Health Study II (1991-2009) with beverage intake assessed every 4 years using a validated questionnaire in case pregnancies lost spontaneously at <20 weeks gestation, total coffee intake had a positive, linear association with SAB.
In compared to non-pre-pregnancy coffee intake, the risk of SAB increased by 20% for women consuming ≥4 servings/day.
More importantly, Dr. Gaskins AJ, the lead author said, "Pre-pregnancy coffee consumption at levels ≥4 servings/day is associated with the increased risk of SAB, particularly at weeks 8-19".
Taking together, there is no doubt that coffee may contribute to a relative risk of miscarrying for women consuming more than 4 cups per day.
Women who are pregnant between 12 to 28 weeks of gestation with excessive coffee intake habit are recommended to consult with their doctors.
