Wednesday, September 24, 2008 A new study published in The Lancet Medical Journal in January 2002 seems to indicate that daily moderate consumption of alcohol may help ward off Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia.
Previous studies have already shown that daily, moderate alcohol consumption helps prevent both heart disease and stroke. Moderate consumption, (between 1 to 3 drinks per day), is one of the key phrases because the adverse effects on health of excess alcohol consumption is beyond doubt. Primary among them is the destruction of the liver but several studies have indicated that excessive alcohol consumption can be toxic to the brain (alcoholic dementia).
The new study showing that alcohol may fight Alzheimer's involved more than 5,000 people over the age of 55 and lasted for six years. At the beginning of the study, none of the participants had any signs of dementia. At the end of the study, 197 of the participants developed Alzheimer's or some other form of dementia. Those who drank between 1 to 3 drinks per day had a 42% lower risk of developing dementia than the nondrinkers. Those who did not drink daily but had more than one drink per week day had a 25% lower risk of developing dementia than the nondrinkers. One final point, it did not seem to matter what people drank, (beer, wine or liquor), the effect was the same.
So drinking ain't that bad afterall? it actually do good to your body system; lower risk of dementia than others. Perhaps budget drinking is to be quicky implemented. = D
I'll miss drinking for a period now.
& maybe it's time for healthy diet. =D
perhaps using such facts to humor ownself can be useful. haha! it's not very practical but sometimes life's full of surprises.
PS: So long you're safe and sound, everything else is not important.
& this bunch just makes me go crazy, i missed them.
& for the fun of it, I created this =X HAHA!
It's been one hell of a week. and so many things happened. happy ones , and even sad ones.
Life's like a rollercoaster, high and low at times . but sometimes we always tell ourselves that's how we humans live with it. makes us change into someone better after all that incidents. it's just too fast.
But somehow you tell yourself "hey! this isn't that bad!". But sometimes you tell yourself it's time to wake up.
You'll never learn from your mistake until you have made one that has an impact on you. and that you'll tell yourself to go into enlightenment, be good.
But then again, if we're always that good, we'll never explore in life, and then we'll always be that country bumpkin.
So what's to or what's not to do?
Life's rather complicated when you're so involved in it. so much restrictions, so much to think, so much to control. You really don't wish to change because of the sake of changing. You want things to flow in your direction.
So much to reflect, so little time. and so many things this week; F1, Escape, More outings, Saving on cash, hangouts.
I'll change, for myself, when the time comes. PS: Show me the way to be someone better, will you?
i've finally changed my hair once again, now it's RED. and i liked it. seriously nice and worth the money. :D
SO
the next 3 days will be chalet, and then outings, and then outings, and then chalet.
BUSY BUSY.
but i'm loving my life, hopefully i pass my FREEKING FTT on the 29th. though I've not started, it seemed like i'm MILESTONES away from passing it. SO GOTTA STUDY MAN!
& yes, hang outs been REAL fun. It's really really fun, seriously! I have never had so much fun in my entire life before, so I really appreciate my clique very much . =D
It's fun knowing these guys, and I love it.
& I find KATY PERRY really cool. her songs are the BOMB MAN. try watching them! she really has a unique voice, and it's really amazing. I've fallen in love with her . =)
& I realized somethings in life I have to make it straight and clear. I cannot stand it having you popping out of nowhere, filling in my blank spaces of my brain. telling me how much I missed you. I hate the feeling. But I know it's not intentional, perhaps there's a reason to it.
I just hope that I'll get it someday. If not, I 'll just leave it as it is because having you in my mind ain't that painful because I know you'll be happy.
been working, and working. hang outs and chilling. all so fun.
And next whole week will be chalets, and more chalets! can't wait for the fun.
home been different lately, it's not full air-conditioned, i'm going to have my own bedroom but i'm sharing it with my brother. Uncle's moving in with us and he's going to be a full time taxi driver.
I think it's rather smooth for my mum, at least now she has a companion who is willing to help share the burden of creating a better family.
So i'm thankful.
and of course, hang outs with friends lately has been a blast. from the new job, to the crazy dares and more shopping fun with LOVELY.
Results are out, and i'm thankful i passed everything except the fact that my GPA has fallen once again. Was rather disappointed with myself. thought I could do better this time round, but thanks to one subject which I gotten D for, it pulled my GPA down.
It's quite a wake up call, gotta mug hard next semester because PAPS said there are many 4 credits subject, which means it's tough work. Sentosa's going to be our 2nd home next semester I suppose. Hopefully I won't miss TP too much. ;D
& now, for the pictures! :D
