The findings were based on a study comparing 576 women, aged 20 to 59 years
There is evidence of a large reduction in risk of breast cancer, such as people who work outside the home and the number of activities outside the home at the age of 10 to 19 years and 20 to 29 years.
Cod oil consumption during the 10 years or more was also associated with a reduced risk of breast cancers, as well as with the consumption of over nine glasses of milk, compared with women who consumed less than five glasses at the age of 20 to 29 years old.

Control Sugar Levels with Sports
In addition, low-sugar diet, diabetics should also exercise to reduce the sugar content. Well, what is the right sport for them?
Benefits of exercise for the body can not be doubted. In addition to maintaining health, exercise is also able to minimize the development of several diseases. One of them is diabetes. For people with diabetes, exercise helps control blood sugar.
Sports are conducted regularly by people with diabetes will increase blood flow to various organs of the body so the body becomes fresh and help lower cholesterol levels. Improvement of cholesterol profile will reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke complications that often occur in diabetics.
Exercise can improve muscle tension, improve muscle strength, makes you sleep better, and reduce stress.
Moreover if the exercise was done simultaneously with the setting to eat, it will be able to achieve the desired goal, namely to improve blood sugar levels. With the improvement in blood sugar due to exercise carried out routinely, regularly, and appropriate, this may reduce the need or dosage of blood sugar-lowering medicines.
Usually after a workout will increase energy demand, where glucose is the source of energy needed to move the muscles in our time, especially during exercise. First energy from the incineration of our glucose reserve in muscle. When it was not sufficient, taken from the glucose that is circulating in the blood vessels.
If done regularly, then the sport can lead to the use of glucose by the muscle increased by 20 times, due to increased blood flow, improved performance of insulin and decrease insulin resistance. When you finish exercising, your body will take the glucose from the blood to refill the reserves of glucose in muscles and liver that had been used during exercise.
Only during exercise should diabetics must take several factors. We recommend that you select a little exercise has minimal risk of injury. Do not select heavy sports such as futsal, because of this injury-prone sport. As is known injuries or wounds in diabetic patients would be bad for his health.
This exercise will show its benefits as controlling blood sugar when balanced with the intake of a balanced diet as well. Reduce sugar and carbohydrates, instead, the consumption of many fibrous vegetables. Factor is high blood sugar levels if not managed properly will lead to long-term complications. Among these, peripheral nerve disorders that cause reduced sensation of pain, pressure, and temperature of the foot. Therefore, in the exercise, diabetics must pay attention to the feet which is the main organ to sustain daily activities.
That’s because the foot is often less attention, even sometimes for the sake of beauty, forced confinement, without regard to the interest leg itself. Thus, we do not feel when our feet hurt. Because if the injured foot and accompanied by blood vessel complications, it will aggravate the blood flow to the legs.
Starting from the management of diabetes as possible so that the chronic complications can be prevented, including diabetic foot. The way a good foot care, which seems simple can provide huge benefits.
As for how to prevent the occurrence of injury adjusted for risk foot conditions. For legs feel less sensitive, it is advisable to always wear footwear in order to protect the foot. If the foot has changed shape, it needs special attention on the shoes or special footwear that is used for users with diabetes. Conversely, if there is a problem of blood vessels, leg exercises need to be considered properly to improve blood flow to the legs.
Also Eye Care Need
The eye is one of the most important organs we have, but still many people who often ignore the health of our vision organs. Here are six steps that we can do to keep both eyes receive the best care.
1. Routine eye examination.
The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends to us aged 20-64 years in order to have a proactive actions examined by eye to the optometrist or ophthalmologist regularly every one or two years. This is done as a precautionary measure so that the identification of problems can be done before everything gets worse.
2. Avoid tension in the eye.
At the moment we are looking at a computer screen, television, reading books, or other activity that requires the eye to focus on objects at close range and in a long time, will cause our eyes tired and strained. The danger again, it turns out this condition can also affect our overall health, such as neck pain, headaches or blurred vision. To prevent it, give our eyes a break by looking at the most distant objects that are over 5 minutes. In addition, provide a “lubricant” when dry or irritated eyes.
3. Protect your eyes from the sun.
Dangerous sunlight can penetrate the retina we who later became the cause of the development of cataracts and macular degeneration (a disease in which the central visual acuity susceptible to interference, or obscure). Therefore, make sure we always use sunglasses that have 100% UV protection while outside the room. Using a hat with a large cap with sunglasses is a powerful weapon to protect our eyes from harmful sun exposure.
4. Stop smoking.

Also recommended that we not use a contact lens too often, better use glasses that can make you look stylish and give the eye a short break.
Importance of Hand Washing To Survival
Currently, the effort to create a healthier generation of Indonesia still needs the attention of all parties. One of the indicators commonly used to see the degree of public health is a Childhood mortality (Red Sea) or the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR).
Red Sea, totaling 31.04 / 1000 live births. This means there are 31.04 for every 1,000 babies died in childbirth. The figure was still higher than Malaysia and Singapore, each of which amounted to 16.39 / 1,000 and 2.3 / 1000 live births.
Whereas, in accordance with the target of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 4 points, namely in 2015 Indonesia must be able to reduce infant mortality to 17/1000 live births. These data illustrate that the effort to build and maintain healthy Indonesian children is still a big challenge for all concerned.
In addition, there are some diseases that are still often infects children, and even cause death, such as diarrhea. According to note the World Health Organization (WHO), diarrhea kills 1.5 million children in the world every year. While the incidence of diarrhea in most of Indonesia is still high.
In Indonesia, according to the Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in 2007, diarrhea leading cause of death 31.4 percent of infants aged 29 days to 11 months. Approximately 162 thousand children under five die from diarrhea each year, or about 460 children per day.
From the Household Health Survey (SKRT) in Indonesia, diarrhea is the leading cause of death in children under five years the number two and number three for the baby as well as the number five for all ages. Every child in Indonesia is experiencing diarrhea episodes 1.6 – 2 times per year.
Efforts to maintain the survival of Indonesian children, including prevention of diarrhea, worms and other diseases, should focus on preventive measures (prevention). Preventive actions can be performed by civilizing clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS) in each family, which is the easiest and cheapest way.
PHBS such as washing hands with soap (washing hands) has been medically proven to be effective in preventing and fortify the body from various diseases such as diarrhea, intestinal worms, until the bird flu and swine influenza (swine flu). According to WHO studies, washing hands using soap can reduce the incidence of the disease until the 47th cent.
