Studies says "Easy to break bones of binge drinking people"

That's what medical researchers in Chicago are saying. They have discovered that binge drinking could decrease bone mass and strength, since alcohol affects bone health genes.

The next time you decide to get drunk on a weekend, make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. Along with obesity, kidney and liver damage, nausea, hangover and headaches, you can now add bone loss to the list of collateral damage that binge drinking can cause.

Studies in recent years have demonstrated that binge drinking can decrease bone mass and bone strength, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. Now, a Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine study has found that alcohol disturbs genes necessary for maintaining healthy bones. Researchers have found that binge drinking affects the amounts of RNA (protein making templates, associated with bone health genes). This means alcohol disturbs genes necessary for maintaining healthy bones, and can result in bone loss. You are binge drinking if you are a woman, and have four drinks in two hours, or a man who has at least five drinks in two hours.

Considerable facts about binge driking

• Alcohol-induced bone loss weakens the bones. As a result, it exposes alcoholics to a greater frequency of fractures from falls.
• 
  When your bones are weak, you can crack a rib even by sneezing or coughing.
• It also affects the muscles overlining the bones. As a result, the bones will not function effectively.
• In extreme cases, the vertebral bones can get crushed and a person could become shorter.
• Binge drinking or excessive alcohol intake also leads to a condition called Avascular Necrosis, where alcohol blocks the blood supply to certain bones and joints, killing bone cells. The person will complain of aches and pains in the shoulder, hips, and joints, and will find it difficult to walk and carry out routine work. The only cure for such a condition is surgery, which turns out to be very expensive.

So, you should give up alcohol? R u ready to do so?

Hmmmmmmmmmm

No is the answer ! , Then here is the solution to balance between fitness and pleasure

Why we can’t resist snacks

Dutch researchers say that it all happens because there is a substantial inconsistency between healthful snack choice intentions and actual behaviour.

Pascalle Weijzen, a researcher in the Division of Human Nutrition in Netherlands, brought this fact to light by conducting a study in which participants were asked about their intentions in choosing among four snacks — an apple, a banana, a candy bar and a molasses waffle.

He said that about half the participants said they would choose the apple or banana — a ‘healthy’ snack. However, when the researchers presented the participants with the actual snacks a week later, 27 per cent of them switched to candy bar. Over 90 per cent of them stuck with the unhealthy snack. The researchers concluded that intentions are not always tightly linked to people’s actual behaviours.
