Promising Discovery for Detection of Alzheimer

On July 11, Dr Daniel Skovronsky is going to present his surprising discovery of finding a dye  and brain scan that can show the plague in the brains of people carrying this disease.

This has been reported on the front page of The New York Times today and if confirmed and approved by the Food and Drug Administration then this start-up company might have overcome one of the biggest obstacles in diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease.

The disease is named after a German scientist Alois Alzheimer who discovered in 1906. This disease is not painful in usual manner for the affected person but actually makes the life of diseased person pure misery. It affects the brain and gradually weakens the memory of the patient whose short term memory is affected severely and the patient forgets to remember about the whereabouts, recent activities like eating, washing, sleeping even walking if taking bed rest for several days.

So far, no vaccine has been effective to cure Alzheimer’s disease and it seems a long road ahead before it could be cured through therapy and really efficient vaccine. 

Approximately, there are 26 million patients of Alzheimer’s and they are believed to reach horrifying figure of 100 million by the end of 2050.

Walk yourself Skinny

Drop 5,10,15 pounds with an easy at home routine.

This is what i read today on the cover page of a magazine and before i could read in the details, the library time was over and i only succeeded in writing the first line with the heading

Walk yourself Skinny

Is there any real easy home routine to drop 5 to 15 pounds? i seriously doubt it because loosing pounds is the hardest thing in the world which reminds me of the easiest thing in the world, putting on pounds.

The usual stuff like eating fruits, vegetables, drinking 8-10 glasses of water , brisk walk and excercise for at least 30 minutes a day is effective and do bring results but i came across two really easy and workable home routines that everybody can follow.

1. Jumping on a mini trampoline during commercials which can be the best thing to do while watching commercials and this can make watching TV a healthy experience instead of becoming lazy,dull and obese.

2. Sucking in lower belly and holding it for 20 seconds for just five minutes a day. This really seems easy and fun.

Following are some good techniques for loosing weight

  • Stomach Excercise
  • Burn Stomach Fat
  • Belly Fat Excercises
  • Cellulite Excercise
  • Fat Sculpting

Sticking  to a balanced diet is the golden rule in staying fit and slim.
