By Seema Yasmin
t’s highly likely that poor oral health is linked to heart disease. Studies have shown that people with unhealthy mouths suff er more heart attacks and have an increased risk of stroke comparedI to people with good oral health. Specifi cally, we’re referring to gum health. What does the state of your gums have to do with your heart? The common factor is infl ammation. In the case of gum disease, there are two types: gingivitis, a disease where the gums are sore, swollen and red, and the more serious periodontitis, where swollen gum tissue pulls away from the teeth. Between one-third to one-half of Americans have some form of periodontitis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But don’t rely on warning symptoms to alert you to the fact that you have the disease. Many people with mild to moderate gum disease don’t suff er any symptoms. So what’s the relation to heart disease? Infl ammation is central to the process that causes the buildup of fatty plaques in the arteries that feed the heart. These plaques cause the blood vessels to harden and narrow. As fat deposits in the arteries, white blood cells are attracted to the area and they form THE B FACTOR: Bacteria play a role in heart disease, too. Studies have implicated the same bacteria that cause gum disease as a culprit in strokes a key component of the plaques that can and heart attacks. eventually block arteries and starve the heart and brain of oxygen. back up recommendations published jointly that treating gum disease would defi nitely While dentists and cardiologists alike Bacteria play a role in heart disease, too. by the Journal of Periodontology and the prevent heart disease. continue to debate the link between gum Studies have implicated the same bacteria American Journal of Cardiology in 2009.

Friendship networks can impact students’ life
Friendship groups play a major role in a student’s life and the density of ties that he/she shares with friends is associated with specifi c social and academic benefi ts, says a new study. The study showed that friends can act both as resources and liabilities in an individual›s academic achievement and also continue to be so even after college life. “Contrary to conventional wisdom, students are quite savvy in recognising that friends can distract them and in strategically using friends to help them improve their academics. The most successful strategies, however, diff er by network type,” said Janice McCabe, Associate Professor at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, US. In the study, the researchers mapped the friendship networks of 67 students at a Midwestern university. They found that student friendships can be classifi ed into three types of networks – tight- knitters, samplers and compartmentalisers. Students in the group of tight-knitters know each other, and refer to their friends as family and relied on each other socially. Academically, they were supportive and helpful. However, they also had the potential to pull each other down academically, if they lacked academic skills and motivation. The potential for such negative infl uence reproduced race- and class- based inequalities, the study said. Compartmentalisers have two to four clusters of friends, who do not know each other, and their network resembles a bow tie. They had separate clusters of friends: one or more for studying and one or more for having fun, with a good balance between the two. They tended to be from the middle-class, and relied less on their friends to succeed in college than tight-knitters, the researchers noted. On the other hand, students in the samplers’ category have one-on-one friendships rather than groups of friends, with friends from diff erent places remaining unconnected to each other. They are independent and did not rely on their friends for a sense of belonging. However, they were often socially isolated. They were academically successful without the help of their friends, the researchers concluded in the paper published in the journal Contexts. – IANS Low fat diet may reduce migraine headache
If you suff er from migraine, following a comprehensive diet that includes low fat may help to reduce those headaches, says a study conducted by an Indian-origin researcher. “The beauty of these diets is that they not only reduce headaches, but may produce weight loss and prevent heart disease,” said Associate Professor Brinder Vij from the University of Cincinnati, US. There have been three comprehensive diets so far whose very composition may prevent headaches, the study suggests. These include low fat and low carbohydrate diets and those that increase the amount of Omega-3 fatty acids and decreases the Omega-6 fatty acids. Using Facebook may help you live longer “Low fat diets restrict the amount of fat in the diet to less than 20 per cent of your daily energy requirements,” said Vij. f you are an avid Facebook user, here being connected to people otherwise, Online-only social interactions, like “Low carbohydrate diets such as ketogenic diets is some good news.
