bananaThe heart is particularly sensitive to any sudden change in not only time but also in food habits. It is influenced significantly by the content of some foods. Several studies have shown that there products whose consumption (in a certain amount) is reflected favorably on its function. For example:
1. One glass of red wine protects against heart attack better than the use of aspirin, at least according to some studies. The drink does not allow the coronary vessels to clog up with blood clots, decreasing by 75% the activity of platelets.
2. Milk can save us from heart problems. American scientists from Detroit have proved that daily use of skimmed milk 2 cups reduced to 2 times the risk of diseases of the cardiovascular system.
3. Products rich in vitamin E (vegetable, cheese, cottage cheese, pulses, vegetable fat), strengthen your heart, say scientists from the National Institute of Cardiology in the USA.
4. Single use of fish once a week may reduce by up to 44 percent risk of heart attack. Marine products protect the body from the development of different heart disease.
5. Walnuts really prolong life (up to 7 years). According to Prof. Harry Cooper of the University of California, the composition of walnuts enter substances that protect the heart from the harmful effects of cholesterol.

Experts observed two types of hormone – dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which is made up of organisms and of both sexes and male testosterone. After the age of 30 years of age the level of these hormones begin to decrease and accordingly began aging body. Men and women participants in the experiment in continue two years have provided medicines containing DHEA. Initial results have indeed shown that people with high levels of DHEA in the blood are living longer than others. After accumulating sufficient representative data, and DHEA and testosterone Truth has had another. As part of the male volunteers were taking small amounts of testosterone and some of the drugs was replaced with placebo, ie they do not contain any hormones. Neither people in the study nor the doctors collect the data had information about drug intake of patients. Results after two years of work show that the quality of life, employability and sexual desire of all participants remained at the same level regardless of which group they were. This is enough for scientists from the clinic to argue that all scientific claims to slow aging as a result of increased levels of hormones have no evidence.
