SPRING SELLING SEASON KICKS OFF WITH BANGAS HOME SALES ROSE 3.1% IN APRIL

AKSHAY KUMAR, RITEISH DESHMUKH, JACQUELINE FERNANDEZ AND LISA HAYDON AT RED CARPET OF HINDUSTAN TIMES MOSTSTYLISH 2016 IN NEW DELHI (IANS).

OTTAWA - A TD Economics repor t says that the Canadian existinghome sales rose 3.1% in April and reached their highest level forthe month of April on record. With listings little changed the sales-to-listings ratio rose to 64.5 indicating the overall national marketwas in seller's territory. The average existing home price was up13.2% year-over-year. Price pressures are becoming more broad-based across market segments and the quality adjusted MLS HPIwas also up by a double-digit pace (+10.3%) during the month.Two-story single family home prices (+13.3% y/y) continue to leadincreases, but apar tment prices are also accelerating and are up arobust 7.9% year-over-year in April. Bucking recent trends, theToronto (+0.0% m/m) and Vancouver (-1.0%) markets took a breatherduring the month as far as sales activity was concerned. Instead,national activity was driven by strong sales in most other markets.However, both the GTA and GVA markets remain among the tightest inthe country alongside other B.C. and Ontario markets. The twoprovinces continued to account for all of the appreciation in homeprices nationally, with home prices down 1.7% from year ago levelsacross the remaining provinces. Some of the commodity-dependentmarkets appear to have stabilized in recent months. Home prices are

still falling in Calgary and Saskatoon, but have turned around inEdmonton and Regina.KEY IMPLICATIONSToday's report suggests that the implementation of higher requireddown-payments for insured mor tgages, which took effect February15th, had some impact on the Toronto and Vancouver markets. Activity wasdown/flat in both for the second consecutive month suggesting that a soft-landing may be in store for these red-hot markets. The average price fora home has risen by more than $100,000 in Vancouver and Torontoover the last year, putting them increasingly out of reach for theaverage buyer. As such, we expect demand to continue tospread out into their surrounding areas.The CMHC has recently flagged several major Canadian markets as having"evidence of problematic conditions." Toronto was seen as having "high"evidence of rising risks due to rapid price gains and substantial building activity,while Vancouver being pegged as "medium" evidence of an overvaluation, butwas not flagged in the overall metric due to lower construction activity.Risks were also considered elevated across some markets in the oil-producing provinces, including Calgary, Regina, and Saskatoon, due toworsening economic conditions.

INDIA CRICKETER VIRAT KOHLI RELEASING THE COOK BOOK "COMFORT FOOD" IN NEW DELHI (IANS).

Beware! Barbecue can bedangerous to healthNEW YORK, (IANS) Love to gorge on barbecued chicken? Becareful as eating food cooked on grills cleaned with wire-bristle brushes can prove to be dangerous to health, warnsnew research. Loose bristles can fall off the brush duringcleaning and end up in the grilled food, which, if consumed,can lead to injuries in the mouth, throat and tonsils. The mostcommon injuries were found in patients' oral cavities, throatsand tonsils, with some injuries requiring surgery."If the bristle passes through those regions without lodgingitself, it could get stuck fur ther downstream in places like theesophagus, stomach or the intestine. It can get stuck in thewall of the intestine, causing fur ther internal damage," saidDavid Chang, associate professor of otolaryngology at theUniversity of Missouri in the US.Individuals need to inspect their food carefully after grilling orconsider alternative grill-cleaning methods such as nylon-bristle brushes or balls of tin foil, the researchers suggestedin the paper published in the journal Otolaryngology-Head andNeck Surgery."Wire-bristle brush injuries are a potential consumer safetyissue, so it is important that people, manufacturers and healthproviders be aware of the problem," Chang added. The teamidentified more than 1,698 injuries from wire-bristle grillbrushes repor ted in emergency rooms in the US between 2002and 2014.Individuals need to be cautious when cleaning grills with wire-bristle brushes, examining brushes before each use and dis-carding if bristles are loose. Also, one needs to inspect thegrilled food carefully after cooking to make sure bristles arenot stuck to the food, the authors noted.

LIVING NEAR A LANDFILL UPSLUNG CANCER RISK

LONDON, (IANS) People living within five kilometres of a landfill site are at an increased risk of lungcancer and respiratory diseases, warns a new study. The results showed that among residents livingclose to waste sites, mor tality rate and hospitalisations were high due to lung cancer as well as respira-tory diseases.These were especially prominent in children, the researchers said. Also, dangerous levels of 45.ng/m3were found to be the annual average exposure to Hydrogen Sulphide -- a colourless, flammable gas witha characteristic odour of rotten eggs, which is produced by decomposition -- in people living close tolarger landfills. These were fur ther linked to inhalation exposure to endotoxin, microorganisms, andaerosols from waste collection and land filling.For the study, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, the team evaluated the potentialhealth effects of living near nine different landfills in the Lazio region in Italy and, therefore, being exposedto air pollutants emitted by the waste treatment plants. The team enrolled 242,409 people in the cohor tfrom 1996 to 2008. At the end of the follow-up period there were 18,609 deaths."The evidence on the health of those living near landfills is still controversial. Most of the publishedstudies only use aggregate health data and do not adjust for social-economic status. We have used aresidential cohor t approach to attempt to overcome these limitations," said one of the researchers FrancescaMataloni from the Depar tment of Epidemiology, Lazio Regional Health Service in Rome.

Want to stay fit? Use smaller plate, taller glassNEW DELHI, (IANS) If you downsize your snack intake, avoid distraction while dining, eat food in smallerplates and use taller glasses for water during meals, chances are that you can work towards a fitter bodywithout trying too hard on food restriction, says an expert. Sonia Narang, nutrition expert of Oriflame India,has shared tips on how to prevent intake of excess calories without restricting food habits:* Downsize your snacks: As long asyou're eating satiety-inducing nutrientsat every meal, you will reduce yoururge for food between meals.* Avoid distractions at the dinner: Whatyou're doing while you eat might be asimpor tant as what you're eating. Youare likely to consume much more foodand eat for longer periods of time whenyou are distracted by music, televisionand other things. Eating while beingdistracted interrupts brain-to-stomachsatiation signals, making it harder to monitor your food intake.* Savour the flavours: Resist the urge to unhinge your jaws and swallow it whole. Thoroughlychewing your food increases 'oro-sensory factors', which send satiation signals to your brain,helping you feel full on less food.* Spend time with friends, family: People often binge because they are lonely, frustrated or stressed.If you feel like you're going to binge, find someone to talk to. Better meet them in person as it will helpyou to forget about food.* Remove as many restrictions from your diet as possible: Enjoy your favourite foods in moderationthroughout your diet to stop cravings from turning into binges.* Use smaller plates: A full plate sends the signal that you're eating a full meal and a par tially fullplate looks like a skimpy meal, regardless of the actual quantity of food.* Use taller glasses: Just like less food looks like more food on a smaller plate, height makes thingslook larger than width, even when the volumes are the same.* Eat protein for breakfast: People love to hype breakfast eating as a miracle weight loss cure, but only breakfasts highin protein have been proven to suppress appetite and reduce subsequent eating throughout the day.

OBESITY CAN MAKE YOUR KID DEPRESSEDNEW YORK, (IANS) Do obese kids have fewer friends? According toresearchers, obese kids as young as age six are likely to be introver tand show more signs of depression. They are also less liked by their

peers and more often picked on,teased and are made fun of by their

classmates which can exacer-bate their struggles with

weight over time, the au-thors noted."Severe obesity is a clear

psychosocial risk for chil-dren, even as early as sixyears old," said lead studyauthor Amanda W. Harristfrom Oklahoma State Univer-

sity in the US. Obese children engage in emotional eating to deal withthe pain of rejection, or they may avoid physical play with peers toavoid teasing, both behaviours that would lead to additional weightgain."Children who are ostracised, as occurred with the severely over-weight children in our study, suffer great harm with feelings of loneli-ness, depression and aggression and these children are more likelyto skip school and drop out later," Harrist added in a paper publishedin the journal Child Development.The team analysed 1,164 firstgraders from 29 rural schools inOklahoma to examine the socialand emotional lives of obese chil-dren. The results showed thatseverely obese chi ldren were

actively rejected by their peers as they were frequently mentioned astheir least favourite playmates.The more overweight the children were, the worse the consequencesand severely obese children were teased more than overweight chil-dren. In terms of emotional health, severely obese children had moresymptoms of depression than children who were overweight and ofhealthy weights. "Intervention or prevention effor ts should begin earlyand target peer relationships," said co-author Glade L. Topham.

AIR POLLUTION MAY RAISE HEART DISEASE RISKNEW YORK, (IANS) Long-term exposure to air pollution is likely to increase the risk of hear tdisease, says a new study. The findings showed that air pollution accelerates the progression ofatherosclerosis -- the condition called hardening of the ar teries, which can cause hear t attacks.People living in areas with more outdoor pollution, even at lower levels, accumulate deposits in thear teries that supply the hear t faster than do people living in less polluted areas. "The study providesimpor tant new information on how pollution affects the main biological process that leads to hear tdisease," said lead author Joel Kaufman, professor at University of Washington.Results were strongest for fine par ticulate matter (PM2.5) and the traffic-related pollutant gasescalled oxides of nitrogen. For every 5 μg/m3 higher concentration of PM2.5, or 35 par ts per billionhigher concentration of oxides of nitrogen, individuals had a faster rate of progression of coronaryar tery calcium scores. This is about 20 per cent acceleration in the rate of these calcium deposits,the researchers warned in the study published online in The Lancet. The team conducted a 10-yearepidemiological study of atherosclerosis and air pollution on more than 6,000 people from six USstates. Researchers repeatedly measured calcium deposits in the hear t's ar teries by using CTscans. They also assessed each person's exposure to pollution based on home address.

NEW YORK, (IANS) Feeding at the breast may be healthier than feed-ing pumped milk from a bottle for reducing the risk of ear infection inbabies, says a study. The researchers also found that feeding breastmilk compared with formula may reduce the risk of diarrhoea in thefirst 12 months of life.A total of 491 mothers completed surveys as par t of the study pub-lished in the Journal of Pediatrics. Mothers who stated their intent tobottle-feed exclusively were not included in the study. In the remain-ing surveys, three out of four women used some combination of feed-ing from the breast, pumped milk and formula in the first 12 months oftheir children's lives. The researchers found that one month of feed-ing at the breast was associated with a four percent reduction in the

odds for ear infection. The risk was 17 percent lower for infants fed atthe breast for six months of infancy, the study found.Among infants who were fed only breast milk -- either at the breastand/or pumped breast milk from a bottle -- for the first six months, theodds of experiencing an ear infection increased by approximately 14percent for infants fed pumped milk for one month and by 115 percentfor infants fed with pumped milk for six months."While it is not completely clear why ear infections may be related tobottle feeding, it could be because bottles can create a negative pres-sure during feeding," explained Sarah Keim, senior author of the studyfrom The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Co-lumbus, US.

BEWARE! ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERSMAY HARM YOUR HEALTH

TORONTO, (IANS) Are you turning to ar tificial sweeteners orother sugar substitutes to lose weight? Although these sweeten-ers may help obese individuals reduce and cut calories, theymay also have negative health effects, a study warns. Ar tificialsweeteners are not digested by the body. However, the recentstudy suggests that bacteria in the gut may be able to breakdown ar tificial sweeteners, resulting in negative health effects.Currently, there are many new sugar substitutes that are used infoods and beverages and are marketed as "sugar-free" or "diet,"including soft drinks, chewing gum, jellies, baked goods, candy,fruit juice and ice cream and yogur t. "Our study shows thatindividuals with obesity who consume ar tificial sweeteners,par ticularly aspar tame, may have worse glucose managementthan those who don't take sugar substitutes," said Jennifer Kukfrom York University's school of kinesiology and health sciencein Canada.For the study published in the journal Applied Physiology,Nutrition and Metabolism, data from 2,856 adults from the"Third National Health and Nutrition Survey" (NHANES III) wasused. Individuals repor ted their diet over the past 24 hours andwere categorised as consumers of ar tificial sweeteners --aspar tame or saccharin -- or high or low consumers of naturalsugars -- sugar or fructose.The diabetes risk was measured as the ability to manage bloodsugars using an oral glucose tolerance test. The results showedthat those who used ar tificial sweeteners, par ticularly aspar-tame, may have worse glucose management than those whodon't take sugar substitutes.

ACUPUNCTURE MAY CUTMENOPAUSE SYMPTOMSNEW YORK, (IANS) A team of researchers has found that treat-ment for six months by a licensed acupuncturist can reducethe number of hot flashes and night sweats associated withmenopause. The findings showed that after six months, womenrepor ted an average 36.7 percent decline in frequency of hotflashes compared to baseline measurements."Although acupuncture does not work for every woman, ourstudy showed that on average, acupuncture effectively reducedthe frequency of hot flashes and results were maintained forsix months after the treatments stopped," said Nancy Avis fromWake Forest Baptist Medical Center in the US.The study showed that acupuncture from a licensed acupunc-turist can help some women without any side effects and themaximum benefit occurred after about eight treatments, Avisadded in the paper published in the journal Menopause.The team examined 209 women of ages 45 to 60 who did nothad a menstrual period for at least three months and had on anaverage at least four hot flashes or night sweats per day in theprevious two weeks. The par ticipants received a baseline as-sessment and were then randomised to one of two groups.The first group received acupuncture treatments during the firstsix months and were then followed without receiving acupunc-ture for the second six months. The second group did not re-ceive any acupuncture during the first six months, but did re-ceive acupuncture for the second six months.

DEPRESSION LOWERS YOURCHANCES OF MOTHERHOODNEW YORK, (IANS) Severe depressive symptoms can decreaseyour chances of becoming pregnant, says a study. The studyfound a 38 percent decrease in the average probability of con-ception in a given menstrual cycle among women who re-por ted severe depressive symptoms, compared to those withno or low symptoms. The results weresimilar, regardless of whether thewomen were on psychotropicmedications.Desp i t e assoc ia t i ons i nprior studies between infer-tility and the use of antide-pressants, antipsychoticsor mood stabilisers amonga l ready i n fe r t i l e women ,"current use of psychotropicmedications did not appearto harm the probability of con-cept ion," said lead author YaelNillni, an assistant professor at BostonUniversity Schools of Public Health and Medicine in the US."Our findings suggest that moderate to severe depressive symp-toms, regardless of current psychotropic medication treatment,may delay conception," Nillni said. The findings were publishedin the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Althoughthe study does not answer why women with more depressivesymptoms may take longer to become pregnant, the authorsnoted several potential mechanisms.Depression has been associated with dysregulation of the hy-pothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which may influence themenstrual cycle and affect the ability to conceive, for example.Data for the study came from more than 2,100 female preg-nancy planners, ages 21-45 years, enrolled in a study knownas PRESTO (Pregnancy Study Online) that is looking at factorsinfluencing fer tility.

The findings, published in the journal Human Nature,suggest that men and women with genotypes consistent withprevailing gender norms are seen as more desirable.The researchers from the University of California, Irvine wantedto find out if mate selection could actually be influenced bypeople's ability to quickly detect the so-called "good genes."The team led by Karen Wu turned to speed-dating to test theirpredictions in a real-life scenario.In such meet-ups, par ticipants only had a few minutes to as-sess the shor t- and long-term potential of their speed-datingpar tners, and to decide whether or not to offer their par tners asecond date. The team recruited 262 single Asian Americansto have three-minute dates with members of the opposite sex.After each speed-date, par ticipants were asked whether or notthey wanted to offer their par tner a second date, and how de-sirable they found the person as a romantic par tner.Par ticipants were notified of a "match" (and thus obtained eachother's contact information) only if they both offered each otheranother date. When examining the DNA samples collected frompar ticipants, the researchers focused on two polymorphisms(on two different genes) that were previously linked to socialdynamics.
