Sophia Bush, Jesse Dogs shun people unkind
Lee Soffer part ways to their owners: Study
Tokyo : A team of Japanese scientists have discovered that dogs tend
to shun people who are unfriendly
or unkind towards their owners,
Japanese economic daily Nikkei reported on Friday.
The group, led by Kazuo Fujita, a
professor at Kyoto University, conducted an experiment involving
dogs, their owners and two strang-
ers. The scientists used 54 dogs
aged between seven months and 14
years who they divided into three
groups of 18 each. In one of the
trials, the dog's owner pretended
to have trouble opening the lid of a
box. He then asked one of the other two people for help. This person
refused to do so and looked away.
After this scene was played out, the
Los Angeles : Actress Sophia
Bush and her "Chicago P.D." costar Jesse Lee Soffer have split after a year of dating. "Sophia and
Jesse just didn't work out. They
dated for about a year and then
grew apart. They're still friends
though," a source told justjared.
com, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Bush, who was previously mar-
ried to Chad Michael Murray,
and Soffer initially kept their romance quiet and it only emerged
they were dating last August. A
source said at the time: "They've
(Bush and Soffer) been secretly
dating for over three months,
but only their close friends knew.
Jesse is super-sweet and they are
really cute together."
Breathing exercise improves
lung function in
spinal disease
High dietary salt may
prevent weight gain!
London : Just eight weeks of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) - therapeutic breathing exercises - result
in greater improvement in lung
function than conventional treatment options in patients with a form
of spine arthritis, new research has
found. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS)
is a painful and progressive form of
arthritis caused by chronic inflammation of the joints in the spine,
a condition often associated with
breathing difficulties. "We assessed
resting pulmonary function and ran
cardiopulmonary exercise tests at
the start and end of the study and
saw significant improvements across
all measures of lung function in the
group undergoing IMT," said study
investigator Razvan Dragoi from the
Victor Babes University of Medicine
and Pharmacy, Romania. "When
you compare these findings with
the conventional exercise group
-- which saw small, non-significant
improvements -- it is clear that adding IMT to an exercise programme
has clear health benefits for patients
with AS," Dragoi noted.
New York : Turning conventional dietary wisdom
on its head, scientists have found that adding high
salt to a high-fat diet may actually prevent weight
gain. As exciting as this may sound to fast food lovers, the researchers cautioned that very high levels
of dietary salt are associated with increased risk for
cardiovascular disease in humans. Increased sodium suppresses weight gain by reducing efficiency
of the digestive tract to extract calories from food,
the study conducted in mice showed. "People focus
on how much fat or sugar is in the food they eat,
but something that has nothing to do with caloric content - sodium - has an even bigger effect on
weight gain," said co-senior author of the study Justin Grobe, assistant professor at University of Iowa
Carver College of Medicine in the US. "The findings
also suggest that public health efforts to continue lowering sodium intake may have unexpected
and unintended consequences," Grobe said in the
study published in the journal Scientific Reports.
The researchers started the study with the hypothesis that fat and salt, both being tasty to humans,
would act together to increase food consumption
and promote weight gain. They tested the idea
by feeding groups of mice different diets: normal
chow or high-fat chow with varying levels of salt
(0.25 to four percent). To their surprise, the mice
on the high-fat diet with the lowest salt gained the
most weight, about 15 grams over 16 weeks, while
animals on the high-fat, highest salt diet had low
weight gain that was similar to the mice on normal
chow diet, about five grams. The researchers found
that varying levels of salt had a significant effect on
digestive efficiency - the amount of fat from the
diet that is absorbed by the body. "This suppression
of weight gain with increased sodium was due to a
reduced efficiency of the digestive tract to extract
calories from the food that was consumed," Grobe
said. It is possible that this result explains the wellknown digestive ill effects of certain fast foods that
are high in both fat and salt, he said.
two unfamiliar people offered food to
the dog. Eleven out of
the 18 canines refused
to take the food. This exercise was done with each
of the dogs four times.
Fujita explained that the
results show that dogs react to people's behaviour
towards their owners and
that the study could contribute to gaining an understanding into dogs' behaviour, the
newspaper said. In the second
experiment, the person who
was asked for help took the
box to open the lid. However, the team explained that it
was not possible to confirm
whether the dogs preferred
the person who cooperated or
not. In the third group, none
of the people interacted. The
team, that now wants to conduct the experiment with cats,
told Nikkei that monkeys
too exhibit similar behaviour.
Rapper YG
shot thrice
outside
recording
studio
Los Angeles : Rapper
YG was shot "three times
in the hip" at a recording
studio here but is doing
fine. The incident took
place on Frinday morning at around 1:45 a.m.
in Studio City, reports
TMZ.com. Somehow the25-year-old rapper was
able to get in his car and
someone from his group
drove him to a nearby hospital. Cops were
called and found multiple
shell casings and blood
on the sidewalk. Police
went to the hospital to
interview the "Backflip"
rapper but, according to
the website, he was "very
uncooperative." The rapper's representative says
that the injuries are not
life threatening, and he's
doing fine.
You can include pork
in recipe to lower BP
Washington : If you are following
a diet to lower blood pressure, you
may expand your protein options
to include lean, unprocessed pork,
new research suggests. The Dietary
Approaches to Stop Hypertension
(DASH) diet is recommended to reduce blood pressure and is focused on
the increased consumption of fruits
and vegetables, whole-grains, low-fat
dairy products, nuts, poultry and fish,
while reducing fats, red meats, including pork, and added sugars. "If people
have to rely only on fish and chicken
their diet choices can be limited and
our results support that lean pork
may be a viable option for people who
are consuming a DASH diet without
compromising the effectiveness of the
diet plan," said co-author Drew Sayer,
doctoral student in nutrition science
at Purdue University in the US. The
study that appeared in American Jour-
nal of Clinical Nutrition compared
lean, unprocessed pork with chicken
and fish as the predominant protein
source in a DASH-style diet. The consumption of these DASH-style diets
for six weeks reduced all measures of
blood pressure with no differences in
responses between DASH with chicken and fish and DASH with pork, the
study found.
