It is estimated that in general, dry eye occupies 40% of ophthalmologic consultations and allergic symptoms by 22%, while rates influenced by the action of natural and manmade environmental changes and pollution.

This high incidence, has placed the ocular surface as a major pole of attraction for current ophthalmic research.

It is believed that components of tea and coffee, including magnesium and antioxidants such as chlorogenic acid and lignans, may be involved in protecting against diabetes, according to research published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

Researchers at the University of Sydney, Australia, found that decaffeinated coffee drinkers were those who showed the lowest risk of diabetes, so this rules out the possibility that caffeine is the key compound.

The team analyzed 18 separate studies involving nearly 500,000 people. The results showed that people who drank three or four cups of coffee or tea per day reduced by 20 percent or more, your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Interestingly, the same amount of decaffeinated coffee had a greater effect, reducing the risk by 30 percent or more.

A previous study had shown that coffee consumption may be linked to a reduction in the risk of the disorder, so that researchers from the University of Sydney brought together all available studies to confirm these results.

The researchers combined and analyzed the data collected, and found that each additional cup of coffee consumed in a day reduced the risk of diabetes in 7%.

Either way, health experts recommend a balanced diet low in fat, salt and sugar, and an active lifestyle to prevent the development of diabetes, for the causes of the disease remain unclear.

“Coffee helps – says Professor Lars Ryden, a spokesman for the European Society of Cardiology, but other things are much more important.”

The germs take advantage of this situation in order to reproduce and cause symptoms such as itching, irritation and burning of the vulva.

Be careful with these vaginal infections are a frequent attacking women regardless of age or sexually active. So you must take precautions especially in summer time as it could affect the reproductive organs and even if you let it move could damage organs like the kidneys and heart.
You take care of your health by taking steps to prevent these infections:

I’ll give some recommendations that will let you enjoy a nice summer without jeopardizing your health:
You should avoid:

1) Avoid using tight-fitting clothes.
2) Do not use tampons.
3) Avoid Lykra underwear, this type of fabric creates moisture.
4) Do not stay in wet clothes for long.

Although vaginal infections in women are common and frequent, but that does not mean we’re going to let them act on our body without doing anything about it, if you go to literally any indication that I have mentioned above, prevent you from happening.

In our survey, men and women who took one half to one drink a day were 20 percent less likely than abstainers to suffer a hip fracture, while those who drank more than two drinks were, by contrast, a risk major.
“The overall message is that moderate drinking good for the bones and that the key is moderation,” said Dr. Berg, head of the study.
To better understand this relationship, the medical team identified those high-quality published studies on the effects of alcohol consumption on bone health and discussed the combination of the results, finding that compared with nondrinkers, moderate drinkers had higher bone density in a linear relationship. Furthermore, moderate drinking is a sign of other moderate behaviors or habits that are good for bones, as a balanced, nutritious diet.
IMPORTANT: The doctors also warn that people who do not drink should not start doing it to benefit their bones due to other risks that are associated with drinking.
