Eating a diet rich in whole grains (which also tend to be higher in fiber) helps improve insulin sensitivity. This, in turn, helps the body more efficiently use blood glucose, lowers blood glucose levels, and reduces fat deposition.

Welders & Parkinson disease

New research shows welders are at a risk of developing Parkinson's disease and significantly earlier than the general population. As we know, genetics related cause is seen in a small number of patients. More than 80 % of the patients lack any family history of this disease. Researchers found out that patients who were professional welders developed signs of PD an average of 15 years earlier than other patinets.

One possible explanation is that welding fumes contain high levels of manganese, a mineral known to cause manganism (a disease that resembles PD) in miners who inhale large amounts of the mineral.
