postheadericon Choosing Vitamins

Everyone knows that, without vitamins – anywhere. Especially in the off-season. Nevertheless, considering the pharmacy bottles and bright colorful packaging like a very useful vitamins, do not hurry. Already in 1998, experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) at the UN after extensive laboratory tests in different countries came to the conclusion: synthetic vitamins in pure form is better not to abuse! Reason? The immune system sometimes takes vitamins from the tube as alien elements and seeks to get rid of them.

For example, a doctor appointed vitamin A, ie retinol. It is well boosts the immune and nervous systems, improves visual acuity, regulates the function of hormonal glands, and even that probably will interest all women, beautifully stimulates cell regeneration. So the chemist? Not necessarily. Not associated with other substances clean tablets, capsules or injections of retinol does not guarantee that the body will perceive artificially grown in factory shops for their substance. Therefore, most positive result is minimal or short-lived. Another thing – natural products. First of all flatfish, halibut, chicken, eggs, milk and raw sea forging. They are literally full of vitamin A.

The mood went wrong? Everything falls out of the hands and annoying? Very similar to the symptoms of stress. Meanwhile, it is known that a nervous breakdown organism protects vitamin E (tocopherol). So Its first spondingly instead refill kit home new packaging, first drew attention to his diet. It as often as possible to appear lettuce, vegetable oil, lean meat, beef liver, eggs (especially rich in vitamin E of yolk).

Perhaps the most important vitamin that protects us from many ills, is indicated in the table elixirs of life in Latin letter C. That same askorbinka, whose sweet-sour taste familiar since childhood. They looked to the drugstore and bought tablets packed in the form of candy bars or in a jar with yellow peas, and enjoy. For your health! Not likely. Any synthetic, that is pure vitamin, is not associated with other substances, poorly perceived by the body. The conclusion is obvious: in order not to feel a lack of vitamin C, eat more citrus fruits, currants, gooseberries, strawberries, and tomatoes, sweet peppers, garlic, cabbage and potatoes.

By the way, science has proven that long term storage of canned products from our own garden beds, most vitamins are destroyed. Much of it is literally evaporates during cooking. Do we cook soup or roast vegetables. Even when the knife cut the cabbage, then out of it somehow magically disappear as soon as 50% of vitamin C. Then the leaves are delicious – in boiling water. Again, the loss of vitamins. However, this kind of loss offset by the fact that the surviving substance absorbed by the body better.

In general, food for thought there. Especially that of all known vitamins in our body naturally synthesizes only four. A healthy and normal metabolic needs it! What to do? Perhaps, after all at least occasionally to fill the loss of clean synthetic drugs? Do not hurry To get started, simply revise your diet.

Furthermore, from clinical practice is well known that too high doses of synthetic vitamins can cause disease of internal organs (especially the gastrointestinal tract), cardiovascular system, in some cases – to stimulate the formation of malignant tumors. But women who abuse pure vitamin during pregnancy, increases the probability of the birth of a child with congenital defects. Especially dangerous is the overabundance of vitamin D. Frivolous fascination with them is not strengthening, but, conversely, the weakening of bones and joints of the locomotor apparatus, increasing the concentration of calcium in the blood and its deposition in the kidneys, heart and blood vessels.

But desperate situations do not happen. In order not to suffer from a deficiency of vitamins (vitamin deficiency), nothing new to invent not. Your menu should be a balanced and diverse. Should be to use more raw vegetables and fruits. In these “extra” vitamins do not happen, but the benefits are many. A synthetic vitamins are a good help only if they appoint a physician for medical reasons.

postheadericon Coffee Against Diabetes

Coffee reduces the risk of diabetes. Installed the scientists from the University of Minnesota. The best effect is achieved when using dekafeinirovannogo coffee.

This is the conclusion the researchers came after examining the data for almost 11 years, 28,000 women, who at the beginning of the experiment did not experience problems with the cardiovascular system and did not suffer from diabetes.

Scientists have found that 14000 women drank one to three cups of coffee daily, 2,875 women – more than 6 cups of coffee, 5554, women – 4-5 cups of coffee, 6,159 participants drank less than one cup or do not use a refreshing drink.
When summed up, it emerged that 1,418 people who participated in the study were diagnosed with diabetes. Among those who daily drank more than 6 cups of coffee (caffeinated or not) to 22% fewer sick with diabetes than those who did not drink coffee. When consumption of 6 or more cups of coffee, caffeine, this figure grew even higher: the risk of diabetes decreased by 33%.

Researchers reported that the protective effect of the drink is not associated with caffeine, but depends on its other components. The structure of the coffee bean is a lot of minerals and other substances of plant origin – and so far it is not clear exactly which component is responsible for the beneficial effect, and what is the mechanism of its protective effect. According to one version, this substance may protect the pancreas from the effect of adverse external factors.

postheadericon Food Poisoning

Food poisoning – illness caused by bacteria have to hit the body with food. Germs, bacteria and pathogens – the main cause of food poisoning caused by the use of substandard food.

Government officials and health experts classify the U.S. such diseases as a major threat to food security. Symptoms of these diseases may first appear as a relatively small discomfort, then may appear fever, diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, which ultimately can cause death. The severity of diseases caused by food poisoning can vary, but usually it is rising rapidly.

Various federal agencies base their activities on the data received from supervisory authorities and various research centers belonging to the surveillance and control of diseases caused by consumption of substandard food. In addition, food producers, processors and retailers are using new technologies to ensure high quality and safety of consumption of their products.

What is the cause of food poisoning?

The cause of food poisoning are bacteria, viruses, and various microorganisms that are widespread in the environment. On the surface of the human body is more than 150 kinds of different bacteria. For rapid multiplication of bacteria need food, moisture and favorable temperature. Sources of animal protein – meat, eggs, poultry and fish – are an excellent medium for the development of disease-causing bacteria. The source of bacteria may not only food, they can get on products with a knife, packing, cutting board or with dirty hands.

Sources of infection may be inside the product (in meat or fish), on its surface (shell eggs or vegetables), in water or come from human or animal feces. Bacteria multiply well as a sponge for washing dishes, kitchen towels, aprons, cutting boards, sinks, faucets, and a wooden bowl.

There are six types of bacteria that cause most food poisoning:

Botulism. Cases of botulism are rare, but very dangerous. Usually the disease occurs after eating malokislotnoy canned products such as canned meats or vegetables that have not passed the necessary treatment or improperly stored.

Pathogenic clostridia. These bacteria live everywhere where oxygen is in small amounts or completely absent. Food in a saucepan and pans, grills and pans should be stored at a temperature 600С and above in order to prevent the growth of these bacteria.

Escherichia coli. E. coli – a bacterium that lives in the intestines of humans and animals. Most types of E. coli is safe. However, the type of E. coli O157: H7 produces a dangerous toxin and can cause poisoning. The source of infection may be enough cooked meat, raw milk or other products.

Monotsitogennye Listeria. These bacteria are found in milk, raw fruit, soft and softer cheese, meat and poultry. Listeria can grow slowly in the refrigerator.

Types of Salmonella. Salmonellosis is the most common disease. The family of salmonella includes about 2 thousand different strains of bacteria, but only 10 of them cause salmonellosis. Salmonella is found in various sources, but in most cases it is associated with poultry products (meat and eggs), and unpasteurized milk.

Staph. These bacteria live mostly in the nasopharynx of man. Conventional cooking methods do not decrease the toxins of staphylococcus, and therefore personal hygiene is very important when cooking.

postheadericon Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy stimulates metabolic processes, and even allows you to cure some illnesses, which makes it an effective way to bring the organism in order

The magic effect of cold on the human body has long been known. It was many centuries ago, people in for treatment, rejuvenation and hardening dived in the ice, poured ice water and walked through the snow. Then the cold exposure is unlikely someone could explain scientifically, but the necessary result is achieved, and this again and again moved his people to resort to “cold” procedures.

Today, some procedures treat cold transformed into a fully fledged scientific theory and practice of medicine and received the general name of “cryotherapy.

What is cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy – this is exposure to cold on the human health or cosmetology purposes. This therapy is widely used to treat and prevent many diseases, as well as for the rejuvenation of the body.

Cold treatment is officially divided into four basic types:

* Cryotherapy
* Local cryotherapy
* Cryo
* Private cryotherapy

Let us consider each of these details:

Cryotherapy

The most famous and popular method of cryotherapy. It is a cryo (kriokapsulu, cryochamber), which is sprayed liquid nitrogen. The temperature in the chamber corresponds -140-150 C. However, do not worry, the camera is designed for you to cool only the superficial layers of the skin without causing deep frostbite.

Session whole-body cryotherapy is performed exclusively under the supervision of a specialist. The procedure lasts 2-3 minutes. Experts advise to carry out the procedure in cotton underwear for hygiene, as well as woolen socks and mittens to avoid frostbite of extremities.

During the treatment, whole-body cryotherapy surface of human skin is cooled to 0 C through a sharp contrast of temperatures, stimulates metabolic processes and protective functions, increases blood flow to all organs.

Prophylactic whole-body cryotherapy is 10-15 procedures. In the case of cold in order to treat diseases, the number of procedures depends on the diagnosis and goals.

Local cryotherapy

Local Cryotherapy involves the use of liquid nitrogen for the impact on specific areas of the face and body. Such procedures can act in two ways:

* Activate tissue death (burning papillomas, moles, warts, tumors)
* Promote a sharp narrowing of the vessels to the flow of large amounts of blood to specific areas of the skin. Such exposure activates the regeneration of skin cells, accelerates the healing of wounds and inflammations.

Cryo

This type of cryotherapy involves local exposure to cold. For Cryo use a wooden stick, at one end of which a cotton swab dipped in liquid nitrogen. Then, depending on the testimony, an expert leads a tampon in the immediate vicinity of the skin (not touching it) to stimulate the metabolic processes in tissues.

Most of these massages are used with an indoor purposes and are an effective means of facial rejuvenation and body.

cryotherapy

Private cryotherapy

Private Cryotherapy involves the use of any kind of cold in the home. The most common “tool” is a cold water or ice. This therapy does not require monitoring specialist, but in any case, should not be ignored doctors’ advice and to self-medicate.

The basic procedures in the arsenal of private cryotherapy are ice packs, wraps, cold baths and showers. With them you can remove the fatigue of muscles, improve skin tone, reduce puffiness, etc.

However, dealing with cold treatment at home, do not overdo it. Because cryotherapy is useful in moderate quantities, otherwise the treatment may cause colds, inflammation and more serious ailments.

postheadericon Disorders of the Nervous System

Multiple sclerosis – a condition affecting the central nervous system – brain and spinal cord and optic nerves. In multiple sclerosis fatty tissue surrounding nerve fibers, known as the myelin sheaths, is destroyed in many places, causing different symptoms – from extreme fatigue to difficulties with walking or vision. While multiple sclerosis is believed to be an autoimmune disease, its cause is still unknown. People with this condition, especially in the early stages, often respond well to nutritional support.

Start by analyzing your diet and your friend’s way of life. Because multiple sclerosis is associated with the use of a large number of animal fats, it should be deleted cheese, milk and meat and eat more fish, nuts and seeds, which are rich in fatty acids of omega-3 necessary for the formation of myelin. I recommend you add a combination of essential fatty acids: gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), docosahexaenoic acid (DNA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).

It was found that myelin is very susceptible to oxidation, so avoid smoking, stay in the smoky atmosphere, fried or singed products and take a good set of antioxidant supplements.

Mercury exposure can also contribute to this state – through inhalation of its fumes, vaccinations, severe pollution or lack of other minerals in the body needed to counteract the accumulation of mercury. B vitamins (especially B12) are key. Therefore, in addition to proper diet and adding Omega-3, an ideal food strategy should include natural products, foods low in toxins, and should be supported by a quality multivitamin and mineral supplements and a complex B-vitamins mineral hair analysis can reveal the presence of toxin in organism. Some people think that multiple sclerosis may be associated with food allergies, especially gluten (wheat, oats, rye and barley) and milk. They can be excluded from the diet, to test yourself on the presence of allergy. There is also a link between high levels of homocysteine, and multiple sclerosis, so that should also be tested for homocysteine. Finally, the study found that can help the digestive enzymes.

When the disease of motor neurons in the state of the motor cells in the brain and spinal cord progressively worse, preventing the patient’s ability to move, breathe, speak and swallow. There may be muscle weakness and paralysis. This is – a serious condition in which, however, almost certainly can help the food support.

Begin with an analysis of the mineral composition of hair to check the presence of toxic heavy metals, especially mercury, it can destroy the myelin sheaths around nerves, which help in transmission of nerve impulses. It is important to exclude this possibility or to detoxification, if necessary.

Perhaps you will need to stick to a diet that supports your nerves. Antioxidants break down the destructive free radicals in the body and can help relieve the majority of degenerative diseases, so add the full antioxidant complex including vitamins A, C, E, beta-carotene, glutathione and Anthocyanidins. Reduce consumption of saturated animal fat and fried hydrogenated and increase the use of essential fats from seeds and their oils and fatty fish. These latter are essential for the health of nerves and brain. They help to restore the myelin sheaths, which consist largely of the same fatty acids. So you protect the nerves and strengthen the connection of brain cells. Other nutrients, which sometimes gives excellent results – niacin (vitamin B3). However, be advised – 500 mg twice a day – you will feel a rush of blood and redness within 30 minutes after ingestion. There are also other important nutritional considerations; better to visit a nutritionist to have a full assessment of health for specific dietary and nutritional recommendations.
