【Health Reminder】

Delaying skin aging, sun protection is the most important

One of the most inadvertent things in people's daily lives, the sun, is the biggest culprit of wrinkles. In the sun's rays, there are two kinds of "weapons of destruction": UVA (long-wave ultraviolet) and UVB (short-wave ultraviolet). Both should not be underestimated, UVB will "sunburn" people, and UVA will make people "tan and old".

Comparative photographs taken by Professor Chris Griffiths of the University of Manchester with a special camera show that the truck driver's face near the windshield has more wrinkles than the other side, not only more, but also deeper and longer. Professor Chris Griffiths reminds you to take care of sun protection regardless of whether you go out or not.

Prevent early-onset bowel cancer and lose weight from the age of 20

According to a study published in Gastroenterology, obesity at the age of 20, 30 and about 45 years is associated with an 88% to 156% increased risk of early-onset colorectal cancer.

More than 14,000 people participated in the study and defined colorectal cancer under the age of 55 as an early-onset type. The study asked patients and healthy controls to self-report their weight from the age of 20 and to calculate at 10-year intervals, and after the age of 20, it was 30 years of age, until about 10 years before enrolling in the study. After adjusting for a variety of confounding factors, the researchers found that obesity at age 20, 30, and about 10 years before enrollment was associated with an 88 to 156 percent increased risk of early-onset colorectal cancer.

【Drug Progress】

Lilly rheumatism is recommended for severe COVID-19 diseases

The Who(WHO) International Guidelines Development Team strongly recommends baletinib in combination with corticosteroids for severe or critically ill COVID-19 patients.

The who strongly recommended rationale is based on medium-certainty evidence that it can improve survival and reduce the need for ventilation. Barritinib is a tyrosine protein kinase (JAK) 1/2 inhibitor discovered and licensed by Incyte for the treatment of adult patients with moderately severe active rheumatoid arthritis who are ineffective or intolerant of one or more disease-modifying anti-rheumatoid drugs (DMARDs) and can be combined with methotrexate or other abiotic disease-modifying anti-rheumatoid drugs.

【Scientific Diet】

Eating some olive oil may reduce the risk of death

Studies published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology show that consuming more than 7 grams (> 1/2 tablespoon) of olive oil per day is associated with lower mortality from cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and respiratory diseases.

The researchers found that people who consumed more olive oil had a 19 percent reduction in cardiovascular mortality, a 17 percent reduction in cancer mortality, a 29 percent reduction in neurodegenerative disease mortality, and an 18 percent reduction in respiratory disease mortality compared to participants who had little or no use of olive oil. The study also found that replacing other fats such as margarine, mayonnaise and cream with 10 g/day of olive oil reduced overall mortality risk rates and specific cause mortality rates by 8% to 34%.

【Knowledge Update】

Moderate exercise at night can improve the quality of sleep

A study published in Sports Medicine showed that moderate exercise at night basically does not have a negative impact on sleep, and it also has a certain effect on improving sleep.

The researchers analyzed 11,717 literature and finally screened out 23 truly valuable papers, and a meta-analysis of their data concluded that moderate exercise such as endurance running or cycling before bedtime did not negatively affect sleep, but increased the duration of deep sleep. The researchers found that testers who exercised several nights in a row slept 21.2 percent of their sleep time in deep sleep; if they didn't exercise one night, deep sleep dropped to 19.9 percent.
