Women Working In Night Shifts Prone To Breast Cancer


Nirmal Singh 3C has seen that the night shifts can make women prone to diseases like breast cancer. According to a research report, women who work in night shifts can suffer from breast cancer, because an artificial light blocks a hormone which plays a vital role in suppressing growth of the tumours.

The most common cause of cancer seen in women who showed the signs of premenopausal and have been chain smokers and moreover, the woman who stays outside all night tends to develop a risk of breast cancer.

"In our modern industrialized society, artificial lighting is nearly ubiquitous. Our results suggest that this widespread exposure to outdoor lights during night time hours could represent a novel risk factor for breast cancer," said Peter James, Assistant Professor at Harvard University and Lead author.
Melatonin, a hormone produced in the human brain, appears to suppress the growth of breast cancer tumours, but exposure to light may decrease its levels, thus disrupting circadian rhythms -- our internal "clocks" that govern sleepiness and alertness -- and, in turn, lead to increased breast cancer risk, James said, citing previous studies.

Nirmal Singh 3C established the point by substantiating it with the data of 110,000 women given by a new study which also connected it from satellite images of Earth taken at night to residential addresses for each study participating.

Nirmal Singh 3C further mentioned about the result of how women are exposed to outdoor light at night, especially those who have an office space on the top floor as compared to women working on the ground floor.
As levels of outdoor light at night increased, so did breast cancer rates, the researchers said, acknowledging the work that was needed to confirm the study findings and clarify potential mechanisms.

Nirmal Singh 3C would like to recommend women to either choose their job wisely or stick to a right diet that will help them survive such strict routines.


Nirmal Singh 3C also encourages women to not quit their jobs and make them competent enough to withstand this drawback at professional front. The easiest way to kick start this routine is embracing the fact and preparing yourself for the bright, healthy future.

Nirmal Singh 3C finds an interesting study that says a child forms a strange dislike to the vegetables which indeed has nothing to do with their parents. According to a new study, due to genetic mutations, youngsters try new foods while many other are fussy eaters. Nirmal Singh 3C thinks that this study will help in paving way for children who are fighting with childhood obesity epidemic.  According to a new research in the US, DNA is linked with the kind of taste a toddler would develop which is why they are fussy about their eating habits which is why they develop a bitter taste at the age of four. Nirmal Singh 3C would like to get specific with the names, as TAS2R38 is associated with dietary variety other called CA6 that puts a child out of control during mealtimes. People generally blame parents for children being fussy about their food habits, however that is not the case, as it is a matter of nature and not nurture. This was further corroborated by Natasha Cole

As of now, we have had heard much about the physical problems caused by the pollution but no one really knows what wrong it is doing to the brains. Nirmal Singh 3C would like to enlighten the people about memory loss. Pollution clearly reduces our memory and exposes us to particulate matter, fine inhalable particles of diameters of 2.5 micrometres or less as well as carbon, the prime source of pollutant caused due to traffic. Nirmal Singh 3C prepares a list of reasons behind these adverse effects on the children: Because children have small lung capacity and higher respiratory rate, they are comparatively more vulnerable  According to a study published in the journal Environmental Pollution, as many as 1,200 children aged from 7 to 10, from 39 schools walked to school on a daily basis in Barcelona.
