Dismantling Myths in Relation to Cancer

dismantling myths in relation to cancer

From my perspective the nineties caused a boom against cancer, although having positive effects in awareness in people, also contributed to psicotizarlas under the doctrine of “all cancer brings.”

From fans to aluminum pans, all at one time could cause cancer, whether short, medium or long term. And of course the phones and the coffee did not escape this trend of globalization. Even breast implants were also accused of being generators of this disease.

But a recent study doomed to tear down popular myths concluded that cell phone use, drinking coffee and cancer grafted implants do not carry the consumer, and that the presumption was saying otherwise is merely a popular belief.

Two Chemical Signals are Involved in the Exercise: Cortisol and Endorphins.

There are clear benefits to long term exercise: reducing blood pressure, improve strength and endurance, reduce the risk of cancer, stroke and diabetes. This is not a happy pill, and some experts believe that this exercise must be intense and anaerobic in order to be effective, but exercise is definitely part of the equation. Many people forget or ignore the benefits of exercise.

Two chemical signals are involved in the exercise: cortisol and endorphins.

Cortisol is a hormone released when the body is under stress such as anger, anxiety or fear, and can cause inflammation in our body. Exercise burns cortisol and that makes us people happier and healthier. Endorphins are molecules related to the morphine they enter the brain and bind to receptors that normally send pain signaling molecules to other parts of the brain. Some researchers say that endorphins are even more powerful than opiate drugs such as morphine and opium (binding to the same receptors). Exercise stimulates then production of endorphins. A single session of 20-30 minutes at 80% of your ability can feel the benefits of these endorphins. Then, after several sessions, the habit is taken. Some researchers believe that the benefits vary depending on the type of exercise: for them, a session was certainly a moderate action on health, but not release of endorphins.
