This is a quick story that looks at a health condition that may contribute to memory loss as you grow older. Researchers found that older adults with larger waistlines, high blood pressure, and other factors that make up ?metabolic syndrome? may be at a higher risk for memory loss. It is published now in an online issue of ?Neurology.?
It?s another look at how to keep an aging brain strong. Metabolic syndrome is a dangerous condition that means you have three or more of these risk factors: high blood pressure; excess belly fat; higher than normal triglycerides (a type of fat found in the blood); high blood sugar; and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol Uomo Nike Hyperadapt 1.0 Habanaro Rosse Nere Italia , or ?good? cholesterol. This syndrome has also been tied to an increased risk of heart attack.
For the study, more than 7,000 adults over 65 from three French cities were tested for metabolic syndrome. A total of 16% of them were discovered to have metabolic syndrome. Participants were given a series of memory and cognitive function tests two and four years later. These included a memory test, a test of visual working memory and a test of ?word fluency.?
Researchers found that people who had metabolic syndrome were 20% more likely to have cognitive decline on the memory test than those who were free of the syndrome. People with metabolic syndrome also were 13% more likely to have cognitive decline on the visual working memory test.
And specifically Uomo Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 Grigie Nere Italia , higher triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol were linked to poorer memory scores. Having diabetes was linked to poorer visual working memory and word fluency scores.
This helps shed light on how metabolic syndrome and its various factors affect our brain?s health. If we can manage the factors that contribute to the syndrome, then we can help slow down age-related memory loss. Or even delay the onset of dementia.

About two years ago, I had a go at commercial web site design. I put a medium-sized ad in a London classified ad paper. Nothing fancy: "Web designer seeks work ..." etc. This was expensive, about ?500 for a month's run.
Got a few replies. Lesson number one: advertise where clients of the calibre you want will see it. The clients I got thought ?300 was a lot for a web site. They didn't want to pay web hosting. They wanted a lot of bang for their buck. 'Mission creep' was a term I grew to know and loathe.
So how can you get a full featured site up in a day? Easy (ish!).
1. Mambo Content Management System
I wish I'd found this software a couple of years ago. It's freeware. The default set-up allows people without web design skills to update the site. It has a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) option. This adds HTMLArea code to text input form fields. Each HTML code input box becomes a mini HTML editor.
If you can use Microsoft Word, you can add formatted HTML code to the site.
To get it running you need to know how to install MySQL databases, or have PHPMyAdmin as part of your web-hosting package.
1. The admin interface is confusing. It's all there, just finding and using it is the problem!
2. You need to search around template sites to find ones suited to your site purpose. I wanted simple Uomo Nike Hyperadapt 1.0 JP Team Arancione Nere Italia , clean, business ones. Most of those available seem to have a fat graphic which covers half the screen. There are more restrained ones out there.
These are minor gripes, compared to the relief of finding what is essentially a web site in a box. It can be installed in an hour, once you get familiar with it.
To add ecommerce to your site:
Oscommerce Shopping Cart
Again Uomo Nike Hyperadapt 1.0 JP Nere Rosse Italia , this is a full-featured, freeware software. You can add lots of freeware 'plug-ins' to it, to get a professional shopping cart.
Therein lies the danger. Some of these plug-ins require altering or overwriting the default cart files. When you try to upgrade the cart version later, you may 'break' it Uomo Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 Bianche Grigie Italia , by overwriting a plug-in, thus creating errors.
The trick here is to only install plug-ins that add files (rather than overwrite them) or that require minor alterations to existing files.
What I do is download all the versions of the plug-in type I need e.g. a WYSIWYG editor. I then choose the one which has the least files, or which creates a new directory for its files. If it requires that important files be overwritten, or is complex Uomo Nike Hyperadapt 1.0 Bianche Pure Platinum Italia , I chuck it.
Mambo and Oscommerce. Don't try to integrate them! Hyperlink from one to the other. I've tried integrations of other softwares, like PhpBB and PhpNuke. Fine, when it works, but when you upgrade one or the other Uomo Nike Hyperadapt 1.0 Bianche Italia , arrgh!
