One more reason to start your day with a cup of coffee

Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco - UCSF (USA) and the University of Adelaide (Australia) discovered that drinking caffeinated coffee every day can help reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation. This finding goes against the old advice that people with heart disease should limit caffeine. Coffee even has a protective effect on the heart.

The study, called DECAF — short for “Does Eliminating Coffee Avoid Fibrillation?” — is the first randomized clinical trial to directly examine the link between caffeinated coffee and atrial fibrillation.

Scientists followed 200 people with chronic atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter, who were about to undergo electrical shock therapy to restore their heart rhythm. They were randomly divided into two groups: One group drank at least one cup of coffee or one shot of espresso a day; the other group abstained from coffee and other caffeinated drinks for six months.

The results showed that the coffee group had a 39% lower risk of atrial fibrillation recurrence, and also showed signs of significantly reduced inflammation. The researchers believe that the habit of drinking coffee may also help patients reduce their consumption of other unhealthy drinks.

Flu: Doctor shows how to recover quickly

Many people have difficulty knowing whether they have a cold or the flu, which is caused by a virus. Here, doctors will show you how to distinguish between the two diseases.

Dr. Cheryl Lythgoe (in England) gives some points to distinguish these two diseases. When you have a cold, you will have mild symptoms such as a stuffy nose or sore throat, and you can still function normally. In contrast, the flu attacks faster and more strongly. You will often experience symptoms such as high fever, body aches and exhaustion. “If you suddenly feel weak and have difficulty functioning normally, you may have the flu, not a cold.”

Dr. Lythgoe outlines some typical flu symptoms and how to care for yourself based on each symptom to help you recover faster.

Temperature : One of the most common flu symptoms is a high temperature as the body tries to fight off the infection. “Although this can be uncomfortable, you need to keep your body warm to fight off the flu. Instead of lowering your body temperature by cooling your surroundings, you can take paracetamol or ibuprofen to safely reduce your fever and ease the aches and pains that come with flu,” recommends Dr. Lythgoe.

Exhaustion : This shows that the body is fighting hard to fight the virus. It happens because the immune system is overactive, consuming a large amount of energy and leaving you feeling completely exhausted. “If you are feeling this way, do not try to fight it. Instead, give your body the rest it needs, such as going to bed,” Dr. Lythgoe shared. The next content of this article will be on the health page on November 13.

Does exercising before breakfast help you lose weight or harm your stomach?

Exercising in the morning on an empty stomach is becoming a habit of many people who want to 'burn fat quickly' and lose weight effectively. However, there are opinions that this can be harmful to the stomach?

Specialist Doctor 1 Bui Hoang Bich Uyen, Department of Nutrition, Xuyen A General Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City said that exercising before breakfast (on an empty stomach) increases fat oxidation for 24 hours compared to exercising after eating or being sedentary, in both men and women. This effect is related to the mobilization of more fat as an energy source when carbohydrate stores are low overnight.

Most people can do moderate morning exercise, but those with digestive or stomach problems should be cautious.

Several studies and reviews show that exercising in the morning on an empty stomach may result in greater reductions in body fat and waist circumference, especially in overweight or obese people, compared with exercising in the evening or exercising after eating.

Moderate-intensity morning exercise is generally safe for the gut in healthy people. However, exercising on an empty stomach increases gastric acid secretion, increasing unpleasant signs such as heartburn, nausea, and epigastric pain, especially during prolonged or high-intensity exercise.

Eating breakfast before exercise reduces signs of stress in the intestines, which has a protective effect on the intestinal mucosa. Start your day with health news to see more content in this article!
