Pollution causes obesity and diabetes

New research at Ohio State University in the US has revealed that childhood exposure to common air pollutants increases the risk of obesity and developing diabetes.
Exposure to microscopic pollutants from car exhausts and burning fossil fuels can lead to weight gain in youngsters brought up in cities, say researchers, reports the Daily Express.

They also discovered that the pollutants cause increased insulin resistance, which can lead to the development of Type 2 diabetes.
The results are based on tests on mice and the pollution levels they were exposed to matched the levels found in urban areas.

One group of baby mice was exposed to microscopic pollution particles and another breathed filtered air.
Their ages matched toddlers to late adolescent humans and mice from both groups were fed a normal diet or a high-fat diet.

All the animals on a high-fat diet gained extra weight but the mice on a normal diet who were exposed to the atmospheric pollutants for six hours a day over 10 weeks saw elevated levels of blood sugar.

They also had higher levels of insulin resistance, as well having higher levels of fat both around their abdomen and internal organs.
Mice on a high-fat diet who breathed in the airborne toxins did not gain any more weight than their counterparts on a high-fat diet, who were breathing fresh air.

But mice exposed to pollutants while on a normal diet did have increasing levels of body fat, suggesting that exposure to pollutants was enough to trigger weigh gain.
The study was led by Dr Qinghua Sun, the university's associate professor of environmental health sciences.

2 lakh more seats In Enginnering Colleges

New Delhi: Union Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal has given a New Year gift to aspiring engineers and management students. Sibal on Thursday announced over-reaching reforms in educational sector, saying 2 lakh seats will be increased in engineering colleges, 80,000 seats in management courses and 2,200 seats in architecture courses.

The minister announced that lesser space will now be needed to set up technical institutes. While an engineering college in rural India will need 10 acres of land, in urban India it will require just 2.5 acres of land.

The move will help students in 241 districts of the country that do not have All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE)-accredited institutes.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is also known as PCOS or Stein-Leventhal Syndrome. 6-10% of women with the disease do not even know they have it. There is no cure, but symptoms can be managed by diet, exercise and medication. Studies show that it is the leading cause of infertility in women. The root cause of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is insulin resistance.

There are a variety of symptoms and not all symptoms need to be present for a diagnosis of PCOS. Some symptoms are no menstrual cycle, many cysts on the ovaries, high blood pressure, acne, high insulin levels or insulin resistance, infertility, excess hair on the body, hair loss on the scalp, obesity around the mid-section.

If you are not sure whether you have PCOS, a visit to your gynecologist may provide answers. They would do blood work to check hormone and cholesterol levels and also do an ultrasound to check for cysts on the ovaries. Ask yourself these questions to determine if you need to bring up PCOS with your doctor.

• Do you have 8 or less menstrual cycles a year?
• Do you go without a period for several months?
• Do you have bleeding outside your period?
• Do you have fertility problems?
• Do you have severe acne or adult onset acne?
• Do you have excessive facial or body hair especially on the face, neck, chest and abdomen?
• Do you have skin tags or folds of skin?
• Do you have thinning hair?
• Do you have dark patches of skin on your neck, legs or under arms?
• Are you overweight? Is your excess weight around your midsection?
• Do you have unexplained weight gain?
• 2 hours after eating do you shake, have a lack of concentration, a starving feeling and mood swings?
• Do you have type 2 diabetes?
• Do you have a family history of type 2 diabetes, heart disease or high blood pressure?

You do not need to answer yes to all questions in order to be diagnosed with PCOS. Not all symptoms need to be present but it is a combination of several of them that make a diagnosis of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Your gynecologist would be the appropriate doctor to turn to for a diagnosis of PCOS. They in turn may work with an endocrinologist and fertility specialists in treating your syndrome. Reading that there is no cure may cause some of you despair but you’ll be happy to know that many symptoms can be reduced and cured by medicine or a change of diet and exercise. Check acnezine reviews, Acnezine is one of the best products out there for Acne Treatment.
