Benefits of fiber

June 13th, 2010

The fiber provides benefits?

The fiber intake helps our health.

Absolutely. Fiber is an element contributing to the welfare and functioning of our body.

What is fiber?

Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that has no calories by itself. Its function is to help form the stool, giving shape and consistency, also sequesters dietary cholesterol and prevents it from being absorbed in the intestine.

Obviously there are many kinds of fibers, but here we will only nutritious fiber, which we use in our food.

The nutritious fiber is found only in plant foods, and has the characteristic of not being attacked by the enzymes of the stomach or small intestine, and allows its arrival into the large intestine (colon) without degradation. In the large intestine is fermented by intestinal bacteria, favoring the maintenance and development of the intestinal flora. Also provides other benefits: it increases the feeling of satiety, contributes to more soluble in bile, helps regulate glucose levels and cholesterol in the blood, and fights constipation.

Types of vegetable fibers

Two groups of vegetable fibers:
- The soluble
- The insoluble

Both types of fiber help maintain bowel regularity. Cause satiety by its large collection of fluid. The main functions of the gastrointestinal tract are ingestion, digestion, absorption and excretion.

Soluble fibers mixed with a liquid to form a gel-like solution. Slow the absorption of glucose and cholesterol, which is especially beneficial to diabetics and those with high levels of blood fat. The sources of soluble fiber are:
- Oat bran (the outer part of the grains, before refining)
- Nuts
- Barley (seed)
- Seed (stored food source and is wrapped in a protective cover)
- Vegetables
- Apple skin
- Fruits
- Vegetables

Insoluble fibers do not mix with liquid and pass through the digestive tract (alimentary canal) largely intact. Sources of insoluble fiber are:
- Whole grains (cereal raw, unrefined, natural)
- Wheat bran (the outside of the grains, before refining)
- Grains

Balance in fiber intake

The fiber, not being assimilated by the body, remains in the intestine, stimulating peristalsis (contraction and relaxation movements wave), increasing the stool bulk, which favors the daily evacuation.

The lack of fiber causes constipation, increases the chance of hemorrhoids and intestinal diverticula (small pouches or sacs), irritable bowel.

Excess fiber reduces absorption of calcium, zinc and iron gtravés the intestine. Consumed in excess can cause gas, flatulence, bloating and cramping. These manifestations disappear when the body is stabilized in fiber intake.

The recommended daily intake of fiber is 30 to 40 gr. The need to increase this consumption is recommended slow but progressive.

The fiber can not be digested or metabolized, but nevertheless provide other benefits:
- In the mouth, stimulates salivation, and better chewing.
- In the stomach, captures large amounts of water which slows gastric emptying and enhances the feeling of satiety.
- In the intestines, promotes bowel movements, increases stool bulk and stimulates their excretion.

The fiber in the intestinal system

It has been suggested that the fiber to reach the intestines does not undergo assimilation or metabolism. When they reach improves intestinal transit and absorption of nutrients. Some of the effects of soluble and insoluble fibers:

Effect

It slows stomach emptying
Increases the volume of stool
Increases stool frequency
Regulates traffic in the colon
Reduced glucose uptake
Decreases the concentration of glucose
Lowers cholesterol

Amounts of some food fiber

The following are foods with the amount of fiber in grams, calculated in portions of 100 g.

- Wheat bran
- Almonds
- Coconut
- Whole wheat bread
- Radishes, peanuts
- Beans, beans
- Spinach and hazelnuts
- Brown rice

Overall and as a mean daily fiber intake should be:
- 2 fruits
- 150 gr. vegetable
- 50-60 grams of bread or 2 tablespoons of wheat bran
- 50 g of pulses

With fiber intake should be increased water intake, consuming large amounts of fiber in the body fluid. The recommended average daily consumption is 1.5 to 2 l. of water.

Action

Put action. It stays in the consideration of this writing. Fiber is necessary in our diet. Stay healthy, take care of your body, watch your diet.

It has some considerations that should apply now.

Food chemical contaminants

April 18th, 2010

This paper has been published by the Journal Consomer Eroski, Eroski Foundation, which was performed the next copy.

Effects of food chemical contaminants

These substances, which reach consumers through diet, have detrimental effects on the brain during pregnancy and early life

Chemical contaminants in food are often a result of environmental pollution. Reach them through the soil, air or water. This is compounded by substance use pesticides, pharmaceutical, fertilizer and other chemicals used in industry. Possible adverse effects on human health, highlights the consequences in the brain during pregnancy and early life. Chemical contaminants of most concern are persistent organic pollutants (POPs). For its cumulative nature, in the environment and the food chain, they concentrate on the food pyramid to reach people. This is the case of methylmercury or PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), which accumulate in the marine environment and then go to the fish, they eat after humans. Other pollutants such as heavy metals (aluminum, mercury, manganese and lead) also have a neurotoxic effect in the body. Food is the main route of exposure, although at present its use is regulated and many of them have been banned, it is not possible to completely eliminate their presence in the environment due to its low persistence and degradation.

- Picture: Lynne Lancaster -

A developing brain is vulnerable to exposure to chemical pollutants in water and food. Research in this area have noted that among the possible adverse effects on human health, the consequences of greater importance are those detected in the brain during pregnancy and early life. Although the adult brain is immune, even low levels of pollutants reach the embryo through the food eaten by the mother, which cross the placental barrier. During lactation, some substances such as POPs in breast milk have a negative impact on the baby's brain development.

Similarly, during the earliest ages, a diet high incidence of chemical contaminants can be the source of such problems. Sometimes, the adverse consequences can be permanent and include psycho-neurological impairments such as attention disorders, impaired motor function, language and memory or cognitive decline. Studies on populations in which converge high concentration factors of marine pollutants, combined with a diet rich in fish, show a large increase in this type of disorders among children.

Most polluted areas

In the case of the Nordic and Faroese, which analyzed the level of PCBs were detected significant concentrations in human milk because, although the study area was not near potential sources of pollution, winds and ocean currents dragged them into these regions. Beyond this fact, recent research suggests that adverse effects on brain development are not only restricted to contaminated areas, but may originate in other urban locations almost anywhere in the world.

They investigated the effects of low dose chemical pollutants and their possible relationships with brain diseases

Despite the results, experts conclude that it is very difficult to quantify the real impact of the effects on brain development is unknown because the level of risk for each area as well as the tolerable limits of many of them. In addition, their detection and quantification often requires systems and sophisticated methods of analysis. As a result, and due to the gravity and difficulty of assessing the problem, it is imperative to investigate the effects of these food chemical contaminants in low doses and its possible relationship with brain diseases.

Studies such as those carried out by the Laboratory of Neurobiology of Prince Felipe Research Center in the Research Framework Programme of the EU, show that these neurotoxic pollutants affect brain development in much lower doses than those needed to trigger other conditions as cancer. These results allow us to know what are the most harmful compounds, tolerable levels and their mechanisms of action. For this reason, it facilitates the development of curative treatments and their permissible limits in food and water.

Manganese, methyl mercury, aluminum and zinc

In addition to the work of this research center, highlights the work of research groups of the INMA (Childhood and Environment) in Spain. Experts focus on studying the role of major environmental pollutants in air, water and diet during pregnancy and early life, and their effects on child growth and development. But these pollutants not only affect children: cumulation in the brain of certain substances, such as aluminum and manganese from food and water, is related to the development of neurodegenerative diseases in old age, such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.

Due to the relevance of the topic was held in Spain an international symposium on "Alterations in brain function induced by contaminants and water", where researchers studying the neurotoxicity and developmental effects of contaminants brain food have exchanged information on the latest developments. The presentations dealt with, inter alia, on the neurotoxic effects of manganese in nonhuman primates, the mechanisms of toxicity of methylmercury, the role of aluminum in Alzheimer's and zinc in neurodegenerative diseases or the effects of PCB exposure .

Other research, conducted by the Red INMA has focused on children's exposure to chemical contaminants Spanish food-borne. According to this, establishing a relationship between the consumption of large blue fish during pregnancy with higher levels of mercury in the umbilical cord, and the presence of mercury in the hair oily fish consumption during the first years of life. The high mercury exposure in preschool children was associated with delayed cognitive development. However, maternal fish intake 2 to 3 times per week can be beneficial for neurological development in the preschool.

There is also evidence that certain substances such as pesticides, organochlorines, could be enhanced through breastfeeding. However, it was found that the long-term breastfeeding is beneficial for cognitive development and behavior, and counteract the potential impact of exposure to these chemicals through breast milk. Finally, this study, conducted in various areas of our country, found that high levels of exposure to organochlorine pesticides before birth affect a delay in mental and psychomotor development of children.

CHEMICAL POLLUTION

The pollutants that endanger the safety of food are of a different nature. Notable gross contaminants that are visible, the biological, parasites and microorganisms, which are not seen but may be present in food and chemical contaminants such as pesticides, heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs). When consuming a contaminated food is untouched and is developing food-borne illness. Other times, exposure to pollutants can cause disruption and long-term ailments which often is difficult to relate the symptoms to the source that causes them.

THE BRAIN

This is the principal organ of the nervous system. Cells, highly specialized to transmit electrical impulses through all the information that the body needs to live, from distributing the energy expenditure required at all times to warn when there is a danger. True computer of the body, because he has experience as thinking, emotions and learning. Its complex embryonic development is very sensitive to attacks due to exposure to certain chemical contaminants for which the brain acts as a target organ.

The oil is beneficial to health

April 4th, 2010

This paper has been published by the Journal Consomer Eroski, Eroski Foundation, which was performed the next copy.

Oil: Liquid Gold for health

Among vegetable oils, olive oil tops the list of benefits for the body, but is not the only one with health claims

The more juice consumed in our country is not obtained from the orange, but the olive. Olive oil is a culinary treasure that brings as little pleasure for the palate and health care. Helps reduce bad cholesterol from the body, protects the risk of coronary heart disease, aids digestion and also contains antioxidant properties. And all this while being a classic salad dressings, a resource that provides personality in the sauces and the best companion for frying. However, olive oil dominates, but no monopoly. The sunflower remains the second most consumed type of oil in our country. In many homes, their modest price is your best introduction. Despite the fame, well deserved, the accounts for olive oil, sunflower oil is an inexpensive alternative that also stands out for its nutritional and whose consumption provides cardioprotective effects. To squeeze the most from your property, you should know its attributes to the body and follow a few simple tips on use and conservation.

The miracle of extra virgin olive oil


- Picture: Pawel Kryj -

Olive oil is a balm for the body due to its composition: about 85% of the fat it contains is unsaturated, the healthiest. It concentrated acids such as oleic monounsaturated, which is the most balanced, and polyunsaturated linoleic acid. This nutritional cocktail helps lower bad cholesterol (LDL-c) in the body while retaining the good (HDL-c) and, consequently, prevents cardiovascular disease. The list of remedies does not end there. Olive oil also helps keep down blood pressure and relieves the effects of arthritis. Thanks to its antioxidant, this type of oil improves cardiovascular flow and helps slow the aging process of cells. It also contains vitamins A and E, and its consumption helps improve the appearance and texture of the skin. Among the different types of olive oil that are traded, the most popular in the culinary field and nutrition is the extra virgin olive oil. Is the highest commercial grade and obtained from pressing olives without further manipulation mechanics. Not exceed an acidity of 0.8 º. Next in the ranking virgin oil, for which follow the same process as above, although the tasting score is lower and its acidity is different, with a maximum of 2 º. These numbers represent the percentage of free fatty acids that appear when the olives are in poor condition or the oil has been improperly processed or preserved. Therefore, in virgin oils, the lower acidity, higher quality. The third type is called olive oil. It is the most consumed and consists of a mixture of refined olive oil and virgin. In this kind of oil the acidity (the maximum allowed is 1) is not an indicator of quality. Finally, is the olive pomace oil, which does not belong to the family of the virgin and is the poorest quality.

Sunflower oil also has

The sunflower is, next to soybean and corn, oil seeds. Fat comprises 99.9%, as olive oil. Excel in composition of polyunsaturated fatty acids, of which include linoleic acid (omega 6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega 3). These fatty acids are important components of cell membranes, are necessary for growth and repair of cells, and are related to substances in the body responsible for regulating blood pressure, inflammatory response and blood clotting. Both are considered essential and must be consumed through foods because the body can not produce by itself. Sunflower oil also provides monounsaturated oleic acid form, but in lesser amounts than that found in olive oil.

The sunflower turn exerts an antioxidant action as it is, after wheat germ oil, the richest in vitamin E. On the other hand, polyunsaturated fats containing sunflower oil produce cardioprotective effects in the body, help reduce triglyceride levels, reduce the risk of blood clots and prevent thrombosis and cardiovascular-cerebrovascular accidents. Vitamin E provides this oil helps prevent the oxidation of body cells and protect from the action of free radicals. This results in a lower risk of degenerative diseases such as atherosclerosis and certain cancers. But the benefits of this food so complete not end there, as their beneficial properties are higher when the oil consumed belongs to the category of "high oleic". A name that is derived from special sunflower seed. The result is an oil with properties very similar to olive oil. However, do not share the same price. It is an intermediate alternative. Or costs as much as olive, nor as cheap as conventional sunflower oil.

Oil: Liquid Gold for health

Among vegetable oils, olive oil tops the list of benefits for the body, but is not the only one with health claims

The oils that are most damaging our health

- Picture: duygu agar -

The coconut and palm composition share neither healthy nor beneficial properties with other vegetable oils. These oils, unlike the rest, concentrated in saturated fatty acid composition. In the olive oil in the seed (sunflower, corn, soybeans), saturated fat for barely 10-13% of their total fat, while coconut oil account for 90% and palm more than 50%. The main problem is that the use of coconut and palm oils has spread among the food industry, particularly in the preparation of pastries, cakes, confectionery industry, where snacks and convenience products and ice cream. Hidden under the name "vegetable oils", a term which may confuse a layman consumer, which associates "plant" with "healthy." Frequent and heavy consumption of saturated fat has a direct link to increased cholesterol levels, thus increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Hence the insistence on comparing ingredients between marks and others, and choose, whenever possible, products that specify the type of vegetable oil added, olive, sunflower, corn, soy ...

How to reuse the oil in a healthy way

  • Olive oil is best for frying. Is the best resists temperatures up to 160 º -200 º necessary. Is the most stable and which decomposes more slowly. Another advantage: less pervades the fried food, so the additional energy intake is lower.
  • It should never mix new and used oil, either olive oil with other seed. These products have different points of smoke. The olive withstands a higher temperature than the rest and, if mixed, you burn the other and generate irritants and potentially toxic.
  • Avoid overheating. It is preferable not to exceed during frying temperature of 170 ° C. If using an electric fryer, you can adjust the thermostat and keep the oil smokes or not dark. If the temperature is too high also generate potentially toxic irritants and therefore should be discarded whenever the cooking oil.
  • Food must be dry, since water favors the decomposition of the oil.
  • It is advisable to filter the oil after each frying to remove food debris, which are prone to oxidation and decomposition.
  • You have to change frequently the frying oil. His appearance (with remains of food, dark, dense or liquid ...) will mark a new use that (the maximum would be four) or annulled.

The handiest tricks

  • If the bottle of oil has thickened too much cold to dive most of the bottle in a basin of hot water after a few minutes, shaken vigorously and the oil will be more fluid.
  • To prevent oil jump when frying a food must be left floating half egg shell very clean during frying.
  • In order to prevent oil splash when heated because it has some water container, must be added a little salt when it begins to heat up.
  • To check if the oil is at its frying, nothing better than to take a crumb of bread, to be brown but not burned.
  • Sometimes the used oil is cloudy. One way that is transparent and then to strain it and keep it clean for another day is cloudy fry in oil a sprig of parsley and strain later. If still turbid can be cast by a filter which is used for coffee, oil once it has cooled.
  • If you want breaded or battered foods are crispier and less oily, you can add a tablespoon of water for each egg. Once fried, should place them on absorbent kitchen paper to remove excess fat.

Good Health

April 4th, 2010

This paper has been published in the journal In Good Hands, which was performed the next copy.

Good health

Good health or have a good quality of life is one of the most precious and we should appreciate, really, in perspective.


So much so that, about health or disease has created a large complex of disciplines, leading technologies, pharmacological research, science ancient Eastern, natural physical therapies, soft drugs and even miraculous healings. We have sophisticated both the topic of healing that can change our heart failed in the operating room to make a corneal microsurgery, or see our brains sliced ​​into colorful cuts through a scanner.

It should be impossible to be sick

Today everything is possible to be healthy: to photograph the aura, electronically locate the points of the meridians and activate the chakras with sound and color. More impossible. No need to go on pilgrimage to Lourdes for good health, any Filipino healer gets you in two minutes in the livers hands or eyes and gets you out blackish gelatinous masses of negative energy around them without causing injury or pain, as that puts his hands in water and aqueous leaves no scar.

And that is not history. It is now possible to operate robots who do not shake the pulse, and soon you can choose to operate the surgeon Smith of New York without leaving Sabadell. With diabetics produce insulin biotechnology happily, and we anticipate senile dementia and in the same cradle. It's quite a cutie though unexpected consequences, for it, you can also choose the color of eyes that is fashionable, smart and inject cells when memory begins to fail.

Therapies magic to be healthy

Meanwhile we have to harmonize the energy dodecahedra, ionizer to filter the air, blood magnetized bracelets and stickers to offset the energy knots undercurrents. We keep a rose quartz in the chest, face north sleeping, sitting in chairs and breathing anatomical essence of rosemary or honeysuckle. Clearly we do not lack resources for good health and kill any disease.

However, the hospitals are full and waiting lists of surgeons become eternal. Pharmaceutical companies make a killing and rampant. What is happening? It seems that the more media, less healthy is our society. Do we believe that the secret to good health will come from some magical product, some to drug immortal, infallible some therapy?

What is the secret of perfect health?

Maybe all this mean we have lost this natural instinct to know when we stand or stop eating to restore balance? Or is that we have identified good health with children logs, tireless athletes, vegetarians live longer, and we think that health is behind vitamins, diet impeccable daily discipline or body?

We seek to tell us what we

Interestingly, part of the answer, we must look at the social level and how we live the disease. In a Manichean society like ours in which oppose health disease and we feel uncomfortable with any altered state of our body, it is easy to understand all the paraphernalia around this dichotomy health and disease. To the 'do not know what is happening to me, "are deeply insecure and resorted, therefore, the doctor, natural therapist or healer.

We seek an answer, a diagnosis, a valid explanation we calm down, that dissolve the mystery that corrodes us from within.
We seek a reassuring gesture and a system to bring order to our interior. So that we can sleep better or worse with cancer second or third degree, punishable and treated with a reaction that mysterious body that nobody knows what it is.

Medicine only one

The funny thing is that the vaccinated population is not untouched by the epidemic but that was not vaccinated, or times when hospitals go on strike, the population healthy improvement. Or that traditional resources, not logic, magic, are as effective or more than the most advanced and scientists to be healthy.

We going to the healer on duty with stethoscope or charms for us and we put his hands tucked in their medical jargon or unintelligible chants unintelligible magical as well. Whatever it takes so long to be in good health.

To be healthy we need to be heard

This demand for order we can see clearly in simple societies-primitive, whose misnamed shaman or medicine man tries to associate the disease with such charm, the epidemic with a divine punishment and toothache with a root in the shape of the tooth, and so on. All this so that the world is human, understandable, livable.

We are not that far. We see our problems on a radiograph or formula analysis. Ask your doctor or healer has a safety speech and ask to be treated as sick where to be heard, relocated in a different order from the everyday, and to receive gifts and pampering.

This necessary in a busy world like ours that allow forgets own pace. So society is crying out for a change, wanting to be hospitalized, treated, visited because not take it anymore, because this rate is inhuman. So obviously it is impossible to be healthy.

The key to successful adaptation

Being healthy is not never get sick.
Being healthy is to have a large internal flexibility that allows us to adapt to each situation and make the necessary rebalancing it.

Good health is expanding the capacity of tension and relaxation, consider the body so wise that he can find resources when you have enough sensitivity reaction but sometimes we have to help a little.
Good health is an education of not doing, listening and respect.

So take care of the body and maintain health, not just wrap the body in cotton, feed ultradigerible think, surround it with machines that keep their constant life, or infuse energy into a tube. Caring for the body and maintain health is to achieve ever greater autonomy, allowing the body to react and adapt to what interacts with it.

Good health involves sometimes neglect to do to find a more spontaneous, and above all, take away the fear of death, pain and uncertainty that many are living at their expense. Health.

Natural recipes practices

March 28th, 2010

I just got mail receptas these recommendations from the honey and cinnamon. Both ingredients are natural and healthy, being used since ancient times. The public follows:

Cinnamon and honey are the only foodstuffs on the planet that does not spoil or rot. Although its content can be converted into sugars, honey anyway always honey.

If honey is left for long periods of time in a dark place will crystallize. When this happens open the lid and the heat of boiling water, let it melt. The honey is as good as when new.
Never boil honey or put it in the microwave, so they kill their enzymes. The cinnamon and honey (and this not like the drug companies) can cure many diseases.

Honey is produced by most countries. Science accept honey as a very effective means to treat disease. Honey can be used without side effects and taken the correct dose, even sweet, does not affect diabetics.

Weekly World News. A magazine in Canada (17/01/1995) published a list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon:

- Heart Disease

Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread every morning, instead of jam and eat it regularly as part of breakfast. This will reduce the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Additionally, those who have already had a heart attack if they continue this process will be protected from suffering a next attack. Regular use of these substances helps to retain healthy breath and strengthen the muscle and the rhythmic movement of the heart.
In the U.S. and Canada, various nursing homes have successfully cured patients patients whose veins have lost flexibility and have been covered. Honey and cinnamon revitalize the.

- Arthritis

Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and evening a cup of hot water with two tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. Recent research by the University of Copenhagen showed that doctors who treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon cinnamon before breakfast, confirmed that in a week, 200 patients, 73 felt no pain and arthritis per month, almost all patients who could not even walk or move around the pain, moving without feeling pain.

- Digestion

Cinnamon sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before meals can reduce the acidity and digest up to heavier foods.

- Colds and Colds

A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural ingredient which kills the influenza germs and protects patients from the cold.

- Longevity

Tea made ​​with honey and cinnamon, taken regularly reduces the damage caused by old age in tissues. Take four spoons of honey, cinnamon powder and three cups of boiling water to make tea. Take a quarter cup, three or four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and reduces the damage caused by aging and free radical tissue, lengthening the period of vitality regularly over 100 years.

- Bladder Infections

Take two teaspoons of cinnamon powder and one tablespoon of honey in a glass of warm water and drink normally. Destroy germs in the bladder

- Cholesterol

Two tablespoons honey and three teaspoons of cinnamon powder mixed with 16 ounces of tea administered to a patient with high cholesterol levels, lowered their blood levels by 10 percent in the first two hours of treatment. As mentioned above for arthritic patients, if taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol disease is cured. According to the information in this journal, pure honey taken with food daily helps lower cholesterol.

- Colds

Those suffering from severe cold can take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon for three days. This process will cure colds and clear the sinuses.

- Stomach

Honey taken with cinnamon also helps cure stomach ulcers clear and even cure completely.

- Gases

Studies in India and Japan revealed that honey and cinnamon reduce the gas in the digestive system.

- Immune System

Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacteria and viruses. Scientists have found honey various vitamins and iron in large amounts.
Constant use of honey strengthens the white blood cells and protects against disease.

- Pimples

Three tablespoons of honey and cinnamon powder, make a paste can be applied to pimples before sleeping, washing the next day with warm water. If done for two weeks, pimples will disappear
from the root.

- Infections of the Skin

Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema and all types of skin infections.

- Weight Loss

In the morning, half an hour before breakfast and before bedtime, drink a cup of boiled water with honey and cinnamon. If you drink regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow fat to accumulate in the body even if the person has a diet high in calories.


- Fatigue

Studies have shown that the sugar content in honey help and does not weaken the amount of force in the body. Senior age who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts are more alert and are more flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research says that a glass with a tablespoon of honey and sprinkled with cinnamon every day to get up and three in the afternoon, when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, increases the vitality of the body in the space of one week.

- Halitosis (Bad Breath)

People in South America tend to gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon in hot water, keeping your breath fresh all day.

Obesity ¿hereditary?

December 17th, 2009

This paper has been published by the journal in good hands, which was performed the next copy.

Is obesity inherited?

Top of the Form

End of the form

There are many studies on obesity inherited justify a gene but is also true that inherited family health habits. If parents do not care about their diet and exercise do not practice the children probably will not either ..

obesidadhereditaria1

Hereditary obesity research

It has long studied whether obesity may have a genetic cause.

There have been studies showing that there is a familial tendency toward obesity, most often the children of obese parents tend to be obese and become obese adults. The scientific community agrees that genetics is responsible for obesity genes is shown that meddle in weight regulation in the number and size of adipocytes and adipose tissue distribution in the body.

However these studies have only identified some genes that may be involved in obesity, much research being done.
Find out if genetics is really guilty of obesity would be a breakthrough in the treatment of this disease.

Conclusions on obesity hereditary

But most experts do not agree that obesity is hereditary and consider the influence of other factors in the development of the disease.

If it becomes clear that obesity can not be hereditary factors influence we find that for a person to become obese and try to solve the problem.

Although genetic inheritance is not to blame for obesity without doubt that we inherit a set of habits and behaviors of our home environment that will influence us decisively, because children tend to imitate the behavior of their parents.

Another point that obesity appears to influence the size of the family it seems proven that the greater the number of children less risk that these may become obese.

What can we do?

To avoid obesity or obesity hereditary offset (if our family tendency) we must get used to children, from very tiny to eat healthy, balanced diet are present in all the necessary nutrients in the right measures that children get grow well.

As a complement to a balanced diet is exercise. Our society is becoming more sedentary, it is clear that watch sports from the sofa does not help burn calories. We must get used to exercise every day, help our weight and our health are good.

Although parents are obese should not worry about whether their children will suffer from hereditary obesity if teach, by example, a healthy lifestyle.
Sure you can break or change that trend.
