Not Just Romantic, Candle Light Dinner Illuminated Also Healthy Heart

Jakarta , Dinner with friends , complemented by dim candlelight certainly make the atmosphere more serene and romantic . However , the wax is not just a romantic effect only you know. Scientists believe that the use of candles is also beneficial for heart health .
Researchers from the University of Lund , Sweden , claiming that inhaling smoke candles have positive benefits for the heart rhythm . They believe , a positive effect was caused by small particles of salt that is released when burning candles .
In that study , they monitor the heart activity of 13 men and women who were in a small room . Into the room , the researchers pumped air . Some participants got air containing smoke candles , while others received regular air pasrtisipan .
The participants certainly do not know the type of the air they breathe . However when inhaled air contains smoke candles , their heart rate increases.
Natural pulse every person naturally fluctuates over time . Normally the heart beats faster when someone is breathing than when removing it . It is healthy and a sign that the brain is always alert and able to control the work of the heart . Diminishing rate variation when a person is getting older or having heart problems . But according to the study, the rate increased again after inhaling smoke candles .
Christina Isaxon , one of the researchers in the study said , the smoke density wax they use the same study pekatnya with smoke candles at dinner . That's why dinner with candlelight can also be heart healthy .
What causes a burning candle smoke can correct heart rhythm ?
According to Dr. Isaxon , healthful effects that are caused by tiny particles of sodium and potassium were issued with soot . Two elements that are known to be a substance that plays a role in heart rhythm regulation and the transmission of information between cells in the body . For information , more sodium is produced when a candle is still burning .
The study is a dissertation that found no negative effects of smoke candles . However, the effect does not have any wax healthful .
American Chemical Association said that the paraffin wax , the most common type on the market , can release chemicals that have the potential for danger . Potential hazards associated with paraffin wax as cancer, asthma , and eczema . Therefore , they are recommended to use a more natural wax such as beeswax or soy wax .
In his experiments , Dr. Isaxon apparently using candles made ​​from pure stearin or 100 percent natural fat .
He suggested using a more natural wax . As much as possible , avoid using candles that are colored or a particular scent as the candle will release harmful chemicals when burned .
" Because we spend more than 85% of the time by being in the room , what we breathe is very important , " he said as quoted by the Daily Mail , Monday ( 10/03/2014 ) .
