Immunity from Cancer
The good news for all of us, especially for those of you with cancer. Recently, the experts at the University of Rochester have succeeded in solving the mystery of the Naked Mole. Wew, Naked Mole?? What was special from this “ugly thing”?? Nothing, absolutely nothing except that this mole are the only animals in the world that appear to be completely immune to cancer.
The findings, which were published recently in an issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, bring optimism that the cure to cancer may not be far off. Even more encouraging, scientists traced the naked mole rats' ability to stay tumorless to the operation of a single gene.
Dubbed 'p16', the gene works by making cells "claustrophobic", essentially keeping them from replicating when too many crowd together. Since cancer is caused by runaway cell growth, the gene acts as a fail-safe mechanism, preventing cell proliferation from cascading out of control.
"It's very early to speculate about the implications, but if the effect of p16 can be simulated in humans, we might have a way to halt cancer before it starts," said University of Rochester researchers Vera Gorbunova and Andrei Seluanov.
Good news, Lets we all hope that this research can bring good result soon. Oh, one more special thing from naked mole is fact that they have a long live. Some naked mole rats have been known to live more than 30 years. Hmm…

Human Biological Clock
The picture above is a diagram of the human biological clock that I got from Wikipedia. I think is very important to know. Activities that we do on the right biological clock would be more efficient and quality. Even this will affect our health tremendously. For example, if we reverse use to work night and day to sleep, believe me, your face will look like a zombie. That’s not good thing, right?
Here, I’m not going to explain many things about this cycle. I believe just by looking at the picture above you already know what it is the human biological clock. For those of you who might be a little confused by some of terms in the picture, I will try to help by giving some definitions that I got from several resources.

Stop Looking for Mr. Right and Marry Mr. Good Enough!!
The point of this book, due out in Britain this spring, is that many single women get to a state of desperation in searching for a husband because they don’t make wise decisions early on, such as dating dependable men rather than handsome cads — the sort who take you to bed for six months, spend your money, rip out your heart and stomp it to a bloody pulp.
Her stark message ran directly counter to the neofeminist Sex and the Cityperpetuated mantra that we should all hold out for The One because we’re worth it. “Don’t worry about passion or intense connection,” Gottlieb wrote, “because if you want to have the infrastructure in place to have a family, settling is the way to go. Settling will probably make you happier in the long run, since many of those who marry with great expectations become more disillusioned with each passing year.

Watching TV Really not Good for Your Heart
How?? What’s wrong with TV?? Nothing is wrong, heart attack not consequent by the TV directly. This is more because of our habit of watching TV. Recognized or not, only TV or DVD that can make us sit in silence for many hours everyday. That is the real problem, not the TV!
“Even if someone has a healthy body weight, sitting for long periods of time still has unhealthy influence on their blood sugar and blood fats,” says Professor David Dunstan, the study’s lead researcher.
"What has happened is that a lot of the normal activities of daily living that involved standing up and moving the muscles in the body have been converted to sitting," he said. "Technological, social, and economic changes mean that people don't move their muscles as much as they used to - consequently the levels of energy expenditure as people go about their lives continue to shrink."
So what should you do? Get moving! Find creative ways to keep mobile -- bike instead of drive, do chores while watching tv, throw away the remote -- and you'll give yourself the best chance for a long and healthy life.
Any other idea?
