Wearing Too Tight Tie Make You at Risk of Blindness.

Wearing a tightly-knotted tie may help a man look smart but it can increase the risk of serious eye disease, warned doctors.

They say a tie that fits too tightly around the neck - or a fat neck itself - can cause the eyes to bulge by putting pressure on the main neck vein.

This, in turn, may raise the internal pressure of the eye, one of the causes of glaucoma, a sight- threatening disorder affecting thousands of Britons.

The small study in New York measured the pressure of the fluid in the eyeball in a small group of men before and after they attached their tie.

They found a significant rise - and warn that long-term pressure rises have been linked to the condition glaucoma.

Researchers from the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary in New York tested 40 men, half of whom were healthy, and half of whom had already been diagnosed with glaucoma.

Their "intraocular pressure" was measured, then they were asked to put on a "slightly uncomfortable" tie for three minutes.

They were tested again, and 60% of the glaucoma patients, and 70% of the healthy men were found to have significant rises in pressure. As soon as the ties were removed, the pressure fell again.

What is Glaucoma? Glaucoma is a chronic condition where the pressure in the eyeball increases, eventually damaging the optic nerve and causing loss of vision because it is difficult for fluid in the eye to drain away.

At first only the extreme edges of the field of vision are affected, but if left untreated the condition can cause blindness.

Vein squeeze -The experts say that the ties are probably causing the problem because they are constricting the jugular vein, the main blood vessel returning blood from the head towards the heart.

They add that such rises in pressure could also lead to normal, healthy patients being diagnosed as at risk of glaucoma by mistake.

Dr Robert Ritch, a glaucoma specialist, said that men who wore a tight necktie daily could cause a sustained increase in internal eye blood pressure and 'push up' the risk of glaucoma.

Another problem was that wearing a tight tie might give a falsely high reading of eye blood pressure during routine checks, possibly resulting in an incorrect diagnosis.

The study team claims a tight tie, particularly when worn by those with fat necks, constricts the jugular vein which raises venous pressure followed by pressure within the eye.

Cruciferous Vegetable the Cancer Protection

 

With the growing popularity of nutritional supplements, more and more people are looking for accurate information about the nutrients that can make a real difference in their health and longevity. The reality is, however, that the most powerful thing you can do to improve your health is to eat more green vegetables, in which cruciferous vegetable is vital to a healthy living.

The cruciferous vegetables belong to the family of plants known as Brassicaceae. Their name, cruciferous, is derived from the arrangement of the four petals of their flower, like the cross. 

The following are the vegetables in this group that are commonly found in this country, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflowers, watercress, kale and Brussels sprouts. All these vegetable are rich in vitamins like Vitamins C, K, B2, B6 and folic acid; with minerals like potassium, magnesium and potent antioxidant selenium

At the recent American Association for Cancer Research annual meeting, new evidence highlighted the importance of cruciferous vegetables for breast cancer protection.

The cruciferous family is unique among vegetables because of their glucosinolate content – glucosinolates give cruciferous vegetables their characteristic spicy or bitter tastes; when the plant cell walls are broken by blending, chopping, or chewing, an enzyme called myrosinase converts glucosinolates to isothiocyanates (ITCs) – compounds with potent anti-cancer effects

Cruciferous vegetables are loaded with a high concentration of soluble fiber does actually reduce the risk of breast cancer in those who consume them regularly. Soluble fiber makes it possible to easily eliminate all pollutants from the body system.

Cruciferous vegetable can be eaten raw but if is difficult to eat it can be steamed lightly before eating.

Eating cruciferous vegetables produces measurable isothiocyanates in breast tissue, and observational studies show that women who eat more cruciferous vegetables are less likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer:

In a recent Chinese study, women who regularly ate one serving per day of cruciferous vegetables had a 50% reduced risk of breast cancer.  A 17% decrease in breast cancer risk was found in a European study for consuming cruciferous vegetables at least once a week.

Close to 300 case-controlled studies have shown a protective effect of vegetable consumption against cancer, and cruciferous vegetables have the most powerful anticancer effects of all foods. Studies have shown that eating fresh fruits, beans, vegetables, seeds, and nuts reduces the occurrence of cancer. If consumption of plant food intake goes up 20% in a population, cancer rates typically drop 20%. But cruciferous vegetables have been shown to be twice as effective. As cruciferous vegetable intake goes up 20% in a population, cancer rates drop 40%.
