According to a new study if you want to lose weight it doesn't matter which diet you choose but what matters is how much or little you eat.

Recent study revealed that capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their fiery flavor can also help in relieving joint and muscle pain. Study indicated that capsaicin flips on nerve-ending receptors that sense both pain and heat.

Lead researcher, Feng Qin, an associate professor at the university's School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, said: "The receptor acts like a gate to the neurons. When stimulated it opens, letting outside calcium enter the cells until the receptor shuts down, a process called desensitization."

An international research once again emphasized the importance of healthy living style in prevention of various types of cancer. Earlier studies have also shown importance of healthy diet and exercises on different types of cancer. Recent findings indicated that healthy diets, more exercise and controlling weight could also prevent more than 40 percent of colon and breast cancer cases in some countries.

Gujarat government is reportedly mulling an alliance with Saskatchewan province, known as an agriculture hub of Canada, in order to increase agriculture yields in the state. The province is recognised as one of the world's leading biotech research centres for agriculture and has developed a wide range of productive seeds.

According to sources, a delegation from Gujarat is likely to visit the province to explore various opportunities for tie ups in the agriculture sector. Within Canada, Saskatchewan is the largest of exporter of pulses, chickpeas (chana) and major exporter of wheat and mustard. Its contribution in world's total dry pea exports is 38% and in case of Canada's total chickpea exports, the figure is 80%.

Recent research revealed that little progress has been made in providing facilities to workers to tackle repetitive strain injuries (RSI) in the UK. Findings indicated that
213,000 people had hand, arm, shoulder and neck problems last year caused or exacerbated by work.

It also showed that workers in Devon and Cornwall have some of the highest rates of RSI.

The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy claims that it is legal duty of the employers to prevent foreseeable risks of injury or illness in their workers.

Recent study showed the role played by FTO gene in making a person fat or lean. Research team led by Dr Ulrich Ruther, from the University of Dusseldorf in Germany used animal models to determine how this gene influences weight gain.

Researchers found that this gene affects energy expenditure at the cellular level. Study showed that mice without the FTO gene remained very lean because they spontaneously burn off enormous amounts of energy.
