According to research, spent more than 5 hours per day in front of a computer can damage the heart and lead to death more quickly. The reason is the position of sitting, especially sitting back, which is a common position when people work with computers, playing games, or watching television. The study was conducted by Emmanuel Stamatakis, researchers from University College London, UK. He conducted a study of more than 4,500 people aged over 35 years and the results published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
These findings add to the evidence continues to accumulate about the dangers of sitting for long. In fact, the current trend is more and more people sitting at the computer while working at the office.
"People who spent more than 4 consecutive hours per day in front of the computer has a 125 percent higher chance of death related to heart disease than those who only spend less than 2 hours in front of the screen," Stamatakis said, as quoted from Examiner, 20 April 2011.
Stamatakis said, from research, they also found that 48 percent of people who spent 4 hours at the computer in a row is also likely to experience more rapid death due to other factors outside the heart.
Furthermore, those who spend more than 5 hours at the computer per day, the risk of death more quickly rose significantly.
Previously, it was estimated that those who spend too much time in front of the computer, or also in front of the television, is a lazy person to exercise and lead to the emergence of disease. However, the data obtained, is not the case.
"People who exercise regularly in their spare time also have the chance to die more quickly," said Stamatakis.
Researchers believe that the cause does is sit too long. The position is known to cause 90 percent decrease in the enzyme lipoprotein lipase and a healthy heart. Swelling and metabolic problems caused by the Inactivity in a long time also be a source of problems.
However, there is a solution for those who are forced to work at a computer all day. "You have to get up every 20 minutes and walk away for a moment," said Stamatakis. "That would reduce these problems and may increase your chances of living longer," he said.

The Successful Archaeologists Discover Dinosaurs "Devil" Triassic Period
New dinosaur named "Evil Spirit Buck-Toothed Reptile" aka bad-toothed reptile spirits or demons in the scientific name Daemonosaurus chauliodus found in New Mexico. The devil is the oldest dinosaur link between dinosaurs and Jurassic species of theropod dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs that lived 205 million years ago was as high as a large dog with an unusual bone. So obviously Hans-Dieter Sues, vertebrate ancient experts at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington DC. "short snout and large front teeth," he said. He also added, "This type of bone structure is not thought at that time for the predatory dinosaurs."
The oldest known dinosaurs lived 230 million years ago, in the Triassic Period. After that, there is a big gap from fossil findings. Many experts estimate that early dinosaurs became extinct. "After that predators are more complicated to take over then the diversification at the turn of the Triassic to the Jurassic period," said Sues.
Daemonosaurus c is a bridgethat connects two groups of dinosaurs . Of the fossils were found, these dinosaurs had some evolutionary trait that links gap between the early dinosaur into a more modern dinosaurs. Based on the analysis of fossil finds, dinosaurs Triassic is characterized by several features of the Jurassic.
Triassic characteristics it has, for example, a small gap between the nostril and eye socket. Bone associated with air bag systems such as the lungs of birds are also still have primitive traits. Characteristic of more modern dinosaurs possessed Daemonosaurus c exist in the tooth.
"This is proof that dinosaurs had a wider distribution,"explained Sue. READ MORE..

Positive Effect of Internet on The Performance Brain!
For people with middle-aged and elderly, the use of the internet help improve brain power, so the researchers suggest. a team from the University of California Los Angeles states that "searching" the web can stimulate the brain centers that control decision making and complex thoughts. The researchers also say, this can even help to "Fight" psikological changes associated with age that causes decreased brain performance. The results of this study are listed in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry. As age increases, a number of changes in the brain also occur, including shrinkage and reduction in cell activity that can affect the brain's performance. Opinions that have been commonly known is that some activities can keep the activity / brain works, such as filling a crossword puzzle. Recent studies show that surfing the web is part of these beneficial activities.
Lead researcher Professor Gary Small--says: "The results are encouraging and led to computer technologies that have a psychological impact and potential benefits for middle-aged and elderly people. Searching on the Internet involves a complicated brain activity, which can help exercise and improve brain function. " The latest research was conducted on 24 volunteers aged between 55 and 76. Half of them are Internet users and the rest do not.
Each volunteer was treated brain scans while they perform web searches and book reading tasks. Both types of task produced evidence of significant activity of the brain controlling language, reading, memory and visual abilities. Although, searching the Web to produce significant additional activity in separate parts of the brain that control decision making and complex thought, but this only to people who are users of the web / internet only. The researchers said that compared to regular reading, the Internet asking people to vote on what should be clicked to obtain relevant information. However, they stated that new entrants to the web do not have the strategies needed to successfully perform a search the web / internet successfully.
Professor Smith said: "in simple, everyday task like searching on the Internet can increase the" turnover "of the brain in adults, and shows that our brains are sensitive and can continue to learn as we grow older."
Rebecca Wood, chief executive of the Alzheimer's Research Trust, said: "This interesting study complements the findings of previous studies which suggest that people of middle age and elderly can reduce the risk of stagnation of the brain / mind (dementia) by taking part in routine activities that mentally stimulating. Users of the web / internet is often called "silver surfers", do this well. Frequency of social interaction, exercise regularly and maintain a balanced diet can also reduce the risk of stagnation of the brain / mind (dementia). "
Dr Susanne Sorensen, Head of Research at the Alzheimer's Society, said: "searching into a positive message for people to stay active, but still very little real evidence that keeping the brain with puzzles, games or other activities to develop health cognitive and reduce the risk of dementia ".

Based on these studies, ghrelin has the potential to improve the ability of sense of smell to detect food and play a role in regulating the body's metabolic system and body weight.
The study, published Journal Neurosciense is done by testing on humans and mice. Study leader Dr. Jenny Tong and Dr. Matthias Tschop, endocrinologists say, ghrelin would menstimuluskan hunger to increase the sensitivity of the sense of smell.
"This study shows the hunger to improve the detection of smells," said Dr. Tschop, as quoted Health24. "stomach hormone ghrelin is a hunger. When this hormone is stimulated stomach appeared empty. This hormone is also responsible for increasing the sensitivity of the nose detect the smell. "

Jakarta, Not all diseases need drugs, because the body has natural mechanisms for healing several types of diseases. In order not to get caught up in drug consumption of excessive and irrational, identify the diseases that can heal itself. Almost all types of diseases that are acute (short duration, not chronic) is self-limiting disease artau disease that will heal by itself. Some of them are triggered by disturbances in the human body's natural mechanism, but the majority are caused by viruses.
