A report says that the basis for planning diet and regulation of healthy-eating during the last 18 years, the counting calories, may occur wrong.

A draft report of the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition tells that the daily norm of calories which is recommended to take might be sixteen percents more. Daily norm of calories intake currently are two thousands for women and two with a half thousands for men.

But we should pay attention that people have to eat more if they exercise more, given increasing levels of obesity.
The committee declare that its statement presents much more exact assessment about how energy is burnt off with the help of physical exercises.

A sixteen percents growth would mean that a grown-up could consume an additional 400 calories a day safely, equal to an standard sized cheeseburger.The offers, which were seen by The Grocer and The Times magazine, are due to be ready in a 14-week period of consultation.

Then the final recommendations will be proposed.

Dear visitors,

We have decided to implement certain changes and launch couple of new sections on our portal, which will improve your experience with Health Nova while searching for relevant medical information. The first to come will be the new “health videos” section. In the “health videos” section we’ll strive to aggregate only the most relevant, accurate and up-to-date health videos, which will represent the informaiton in a more interactive way for you.

Thank you.

Scientists have worked out a list of the microbes that live in different area of people’s body.
Various bacteria play an important role in physiological functioning of human and by this way keep us healthy. Surprisingly big multiplicity in bacterial communities from individual to individual was found by the University of Colorado at Boulder team.

The research workers trust their work, which was published in Science Express magazine, will finally give support to clinical research.
According to their words one day it should be possible to discover areas on human body on which the transplants of special bacteria could help the health.

The researches were founded on an intense study of the bacteria which were found at 27 different areas on the bodies of 9 healthy helpers. Not just the microbe communities differ from individual to individual. Bacteria also there and back noticeably from one area of the body to another one, and from examination to examination – but some patterns emerged.

The investigations say that people, who don’t have noticeable cardiovascular disease, should not take aspirin to repel heart attacks and strokes.

According to the studies of the Drugs and Therapeutics Bulletin (DTB), earnest internal bleeding and may be caused by aspirin and it does not prevent cardiovascular disease deaths. Doctors consider that it will reconsider every patient currently taking the medicine for avoidance of heart disease. The DTB’s recommendations are supported by the Royal College of GPs.

Not big doses of aspirin are commonly used to avoid further episodes of cardiovascular disease in those patients who have already had troubles like heart attack or stroke.

Such way is called a secondary prevention. It is proved and has corroborated benefits. But many Englishmen believe that it is necessary to take aspirin as a defending measure against heart symptoms.

According to the words of GB scientists, the human womb transplant may be done successful not less than in two years.

Experts from London reported that they worked out the way of womb transplant with the ordinary blood supply. Because of it, the carrying a pregnancy will last rather long.

At a United States fertility conference it was presented the investigations with the participation of donor rabbits. After being contradicted grants by some medical research bodies, the charity Uterine Transplant UK is looking for financing of Ј250,000.

Women with damaged by different diseases wombs can be offered an alternative to surrogacy or adoption by a breakthrough.

Yearly about two hundred women are advised to use surrogate mothers.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said government that on a compulsory basis it’s necessary to add the folic acid to bread.
Since vitamin is very important for foetal development, it is possible to decrease the number of babies being born with spina bifida for more than 60% with the adding of folic acid.It is good for women to take supplements before pregnancy, but the biggest part of them doesn’t do it. Somebody start to take supplements too late. The Great Britain and Canada began to add components to the flour in the late 1990s, and some of the following investigations showed that number of cases of bowel cancer increased. Still the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition, which advises the Food Standards Agency, declared this fact groundless and that any growth in cases could be down to improved screening.

The great number of women, who struggle to have a child, will have a hope due to a screening technique which doubles the chance of IVF success, according to the words of scientists. At the US fertility meeting doctors have discussed the test which shows embryos for genetic faults.

Up to here about 20 children have been born with the help of this technique. The British investigators say that for the present moment they can back the method with “great confidence”. They hope, everybody will have an opportunity to have it.

Nowadays, it is available in several private British clinics.

The latest researches proves the fact of advantages for the dwellers of “green space”.
It brings people more opportunities to improve their health.

Especially influence we can see in the mental activities of the people, as Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health announced.

The environmental researcher declared that these places are the “oases” for the people. People can improve their health there. The statistics says that quantity of diseases of people living near the green spaces is much smaller than of those people living far from them.

The experts of the VU University Medical Centre in Amsterdam made the research and found 195 doctors in the Netherlands. There were 350,000 people.

The people with the 12-months and more GP were in this list. The researchers wanted to have the smallest quantity of people living in such conditions in the preceding time. This was necessary to see the exact results of the research.

Patients are emboldened to valuation their GP surgeries on the NHS website.

It was made especially for driving up standards in initial solicitude. Patients can write comments on site nhs.uk evaluating all the steps of service from the treatment to the booking an appointment. But it is forbidden to write offensive comments naming the staff according to health officials.

Just in England the website will compare about 8,269 different GP practices. According to the words of the health minister Mike O’Brien, the given website is included to the plan of the health service modernisation. O’Brien said that as they opened up real picking up of initial solicitude, it’s vital to fit up patients with enough information to make right choice.

It was proved by scientists that mother’s cancer cells may be inherited by her baby.

It happens very seldom when a mother and her baby have the same cancer. Theoretically the immune system of a child has to obstruct the cancer.

The British-led team has made the investigation. Its results showed that cells, which can be cause of leukaemia in child’s organism, can come only from the mother, though. The investigations are published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Is it possible for mother to pass the cells of cancer to her unborn child? This question interests scientists during 100 years.

Theoretically the cancer cells can come through the placenta into the baby’s bloodstream just because of destruction by the child’s immune system. The last studies were held on the woman and her child. Both of them have leukaemia. An advanced genetic fingerprinting technique was used for investigations. It proved that the mother passed the leukaemia cells to her child.

The investigations showed that the patients had identical mutated cancer gene. But, they showed as well that this gene was not inherited by child from the mother. In isolation this gene could not have developed.
