Previous studies had linked the malfunction of the body
clock, responsible for certain changes in the body
chemistry, to many diseases.
According to the study published in Nature Medicine, the
circadian clock directly controls a gene with a key role in
the production of the aldosterone, a hormone which regulates
blood pressure through prompting water retention in the
kidneys.
Any disturbances in the circadian rhythms, therefore, alters
the production of aldosterone leading to high blood pressure
and consequently conditions such as heart attack, stroke and
kidney damage in the long run.
Scientists concluded that the findings of their study
explains the increased risk of heart diseases among shift
workers, long-distance flight crews and individuals with
sleep disorders.

A government, of Israel, by Israel, and, for: Israel.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
a government of israel for israel and by israel
how is this different then any country we support?
Its funny we don't know who you are. Israel has every right to exist
in peace as you do. If people in Mexico were lobbi bombs at you , I
guarantee you would not give them any land. If the same people
promised to never stop fighting, you would not lay down your country
for them. But with Israel any land is too much for you. talk about
hate.
