According to a new study, eating fish - mackerel and sardines - during pregnancy can help the child develop a better IQ. Although it was known for some time now the benefits of eating fish, analysis of more than 14 000 mothers and their children suggests they are even more important than previously realized.

Marijuana less carcinogenic than tobacco

2005-10-20T08:08:00.000+03:00

New research suggests that Marijuana is less carcinogenic than tobacco smoke and may even have some anti-cancer properties. Robert Melamede, chair of biology at the University of Colorado in Boulder, reviewed some studies of the drug and published his findings in the Oct. 17 issue of Harm Reduction Journal.

Melamede's conclusion is, although the studies indicated marijuana smoke does contain carcinogens, it does not appear to induce cancer because of its unique pharmacological properties. Lung cancer, for example, is caused by a combination of carcinogens in conjunction with nicotine found in tobacco smoke.

Some studies have indicated compounds found in cannabis might even kill certain cancers, including lung, breast, prostate and skin, as well as leukemia and lymphoma, and a type of brain cancer called glioma.

Losing weight can improve sex life

2005-10-18T10:26:00.000+03:00

According to the latest research, losing a little weight can improve your sex life. The Duke University psychologist Martin Binks, who also presented a study Monday at a meeting of The Obesity Society showed that losing a few pounds can improve sex life; because by making people feel better about their bodies can be the solution not just of the physical troubles such as hormone imbalances or impotence, but also for the obesity problems, mental and emotional, in intimacy.

According to one of the study, 161 women and 26 men, average age 45, with an average body mass index of 41, were gathered in a diet program at the Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis. The improvements were seen at three months, after they had lost about 12 percent of their initial weight. It seems that 21 percent of women said they were not enjoying sex; only 11 percent said so after one year

You reap a lot of benefit from a moderate weight loss of 10 percent. It's a wonderful message. You don't have to reach some ideal weight to be healthy and happy.
- Binks said -

There has not been a lot of research in this area. Improving your sex life would be another good reason to lose weight if you're obese.
- says Dr. Susan Yanovski, director of obesity research at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases -
