The research, conducted at the Charles Drew University, Los Angeles, and University of Hawaii, participants included blacks and Native Hawaiians over 55 years with cardiovascular disease risk.

It is believed that depression is a major risk factor in this type of illness, according to scientists.

Participants in both studies who practiced transcendental meditation showed a significant reduction of symptoms of depression in the comparison with the control groups.

The studies, which were funded by the National Institutes of Health, showed the largest decrease was recorded among participants who had clinically significant depressive symptoms.

“These results are encouraging and support the evidence for the efficacy of transcendental meditation as an adjunct therapy for treatment of clinical depression,” said Hector Myers, an author of studies and director of Clinical Training Department of Psychology, University Los Angeles.

“You can not overestimate the importance of reducing depression among elderly patients at risk for heart problems,” said Gary Kaplan, a professor of neurology at the School of Medicine, University of New York.

Therefore, he said, “anything that does not involve an additional medication in this sector of the population is welcome.”

A group of U.S. experts sponsored by the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) have found new reasons to eat healthy oats on a daily basis.

The nutritionist Mohsen Meydani, lead researcher on the effects of the compounds of oats called “avenantramidas” is also director of the Vascular Biology Laboratory, Jean Meyer Center for Human Nutrition Research on Aging and in previous studies had shown that antioxidants phenolic compounds in oats hinder the ability of blood cells from sticking to the walls of arteries.

But in the process of atherosclerosis is another key chronic inflammation within the artery walls which is a part of ending this disease.

Now Meydani and colleagues have reported new findings that suggest avenantramidas present in oats reduce the production of inflammatory molecules.

“This study showed that some forms of avenantramidas have generated anti-inflammatory properties through inhibition of factors related to the activation of cytokines that promote inflammation.

Cytokines are proteins secreted by cells that have a role in the protection and tissue repair. Some cytokines stimulate inflammation during the body’s response to infection.

Is thought to inhibit inflammation through a healthy intake, medication or key nutrients is beneficial in preventing the progression of atherosclerosis.

Our ear is self cleaning.

The wax, natural wax that it produces continuously to protect against dust and germs outside but also lubricate the ear drum, runs itself to the outside after having fulfilled its protective role.

A gentle cleansing and regular flag and the entrance of the ear canal is necessary, however.

But be careful not to go too high. You would only push the wax, potentially causing traffic jams, but also irritate the mucosa, or even damage the eardrum.

After placing your cotton swab at the entrance of the duct, it does not penetrate more than 1 cm, just make a few turns upward.
You are afraid of hurting you

For added security, you can use sticks or specific baby more elaborate (Otospoon of Quies). These models have been designed so that you can not make them penetrate too deeply.

The elderly or unsafe for their actions may use cleaning sprays without propellant instead of sticks (Docuspray of Quies, Audispray of Diepharmex). These sprayers are easier to take control and be effective without the risk of trauma to the eardrum.
You often go to the pool

The repeated swimming alter the physiology of the mucosal lining of your ear and can foster external otitis. A few drops of Quietyl ® (laboratory BIORL) will facilitate the shift of water and its disposal while balancing the local flora.
You wear a hearing aid

These facilities are often irritating to the skin. Better, then, as a precautionary step and adopt specific hygiene products (Cerudyl of BIORL, Doculyse of Quies).
When to call an ENT?

A temporary hearing loss or tinnitus may be due to the presence of a plug of earwax.

According to its location and its size, your doctor will remove it himself or refer you to an ENT.

The gesture, painless, takes only minutes. After instilling the ear drops or warm water in your ear canal, the dentist will remove the cap through a micro-gripper or a vacuum system, with the aid of a microscope consultation for greater accuracy.
