Pacifiers My Stunt Emotional Growth Of Boys

 In a study that assumes babies can't smile, pout, or furrow a brow while using a pacifier, researchers found  that their use may affect emotional growth of boys.

While girls appear to make satisfactory progress despite their use, boys grow up emotionally stunted by frequent use of pacifiers during the day.

The studies were done on the use of pacifiers on the emotional developement of children.

Researchers are asking that the results of the studies be taken seriously and that parents cut down on the use  of pacifiers during the day.

Marriage -A Cure For Cancer

Another time when giving for health instead of another can be useful is during cancer treatment.

According to a recent study supportive care and social support may make marriage a miracle cure for cancer.

A study involving 168 patients with lung cancer found that 1/3 of those who were married were still alive after three years, while only 10% of those who were single were still alive.

The patients were treated with chemotherapy and radiation over a period of ten years.

Based on the result of the study, researchers are reporting  that marriage may be that miracle cure.

Whereas chemotherapy and radiation are approved treatment for cancer, social support from close family members can improve the quality of life.

Cancer is a major non-communicable disease taking the lives of millions each year. The main risk factors for the disease are unhealthy eating, physical  inactivity, smoking, overweight/obesity and air pollution.

According to the study marital status is a strong predictor of survival.

The strong social support given by a marriage mate and family members may account for the health benefits of marriage.

The  will and the motivation to survive on account of a marriage mate may also play a part.
