The danger of cooking oil

The natural cooking oil, before be processed chemically, contains vitamin A, vitamin E, chlorophyll, unsaturated fatty acids, lecithin (amino acid which attacks cholesterol), and acid lonoléico. In order to bottle it and release it for sale, they are submitted to a process that involves the following:

neutralization with sosa cáusica.

Addition of sulfuric acid to Remove bitter substances, mucilages (soluble fiber of viscous nature), albuminoides (organic insoluble in water bodies).-clean.

-Overheating to give transparency.

-Adding condoms and antioxidant.

Once carried out the above, such which expose it on “ fat to grease “, offers us an oil attractive sight, taste and smell, but Nothing nutritious. The same applies to butter, cocoa butter and margarine.

The great danger of oil is its excessive heat, which occurs when are they FRY much food or when the same oil is used repeatedly. The alarm that this represents for the health is about cholesterol, whose abnormal increase produces serious diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiac infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, and allergies.

Other less harmful oils(aunque_posiblemente_más_difícil_de_conseguir) from which they could choose for cooking are the following: olive, soybean, safflower, canola, peanut, sunflower, linseed, Sesame, cotton, coconut and flaxseed.

Three tips: If you choose to acquire Virgin olive oil – also called olive – be sure to have a greenish color. You do not abuse of any kind or save it for use in another frying. And garnished salads with him cold, which is its best use.

Why homeopathy is a pseudoscience

Why in contrast to what my colleague Itzel, according to the scientific and medical community thinks homeopathy is not a medicine, is more, there are no “ medicines ”. Medicine as we today understand and define, has an origin (Greek), first development (Classics), stagnation (medieval), revival (Renaissance) and systematization (contemporary), each time with his illustrious figures, Hippocrates and Galen, Vesalius and Cajal (to quote an example close).

Is saying, as medicine has developed, medicine is a fruit of the West, who was born under the clear influence of Greek philosophy, whose development stops during the middle ages due to Christian morality and begins to re-emerge with the Italian Renaissance, and finally embraces the scientific method, which gives fruit medicine today. That does not mean that other knowledge of the health systems are lower, or much less, Chinese and Japanese traditional therapies are really effective and modern medicine is able to explain its active principles. But medicine, as we understand it today has origin and development in the West (and extends the world). and Western medicine is the only knowledge about the health system meets the requirements for being a ciencia:

* possesses theoretical knowledge of the healthy human body based on the evidence (Anatomy, Physiology, nutrition, etc.)

* has a knowledge theorist of diseases based on the evidence and knowledge of the human body

* has knowledge practical for the identification of the disease (diagnosis) based on the previous

* has a knowledge practical for the treatment of diseases (therapeutic)

These requirements fails them homeopathy, is one of the many “ branches ” or loose that medicine during its development has stopped on the road when he embraced the scientific method. A method based on that any experiment should be carried out more than once, and that the outcome of any of them must be false. Observed phenomena, extracted a number of concepts to explain it, arises a hypothesis to explain it, tested and he is rejected or approved. (

See how its three tenets do not adapt to the medicine, or ciencia:

1) law of similarity (like heals like).According to this assumption typhoid fever be healed with sulphur, since both cause a State “ such ” (I between envenomation and fever see a big difference, but homeopathy is not, so that does not discuss), long ago demonstrated their ineffectiveness and toxicity. Can you imagine a person treated burns with heat? or a diarrhea with laxatives?

(

2) Law of the infinitesimal dose (the more diluted is a remedy is more powerful).This postulate is based on the supposed “ memory of water ”, completely defenestraded by science today (starting with chemistry), the water is not able to retain “ substances ” and “ promote them ”. What is more, according to this principle, less amount of aspirin painkiller, more effect, diganselo to the unit of burned if they reduce them morphine to the infinitesimal dose which will tell you. (

3) Disease is specific of each agencyOne thing is “ disease affects differently in each agency ” and other “ disease is specific ”, obviously an attacking the heart in an obese and a malnourished are completely different, but the disease is the same: thrombus that collapses the coronary and leaves without irrigation to one part of the heart. If each patient has different diseases diseases would simply not exist and even less the medicine.

Cases followed the good news about AIDS, the number of cases of infection decreases since the 1990s. There have been infected 1.283 this year and by reference to the 96 year have dropped more than 80% cases, this year was the previous to generalize the use of retroviral, vital in the treatment against this virus.

The profile of the infected is confirmed, 77.4 per cent are men and with an average age around 40, while between this sex cases dropped by 17 per cent and among women 11 per cent. This is undoubtedly good news, but there are better because they also declined 22% contagion by sex, almost 9% between 13% between gays and heterosexuals. Moreover, infections by sexual relations are maintained by 50%, and the percentage of transmission has increased by parental way, arriving at 37.1% but not all good news, the percentage of immigrants with AIDS has increased, while until the year 97 not reached or 3%, from 98 until 2008 has increased to 28%, although health is clara:

“ however, immigration in our country as a whole comes mostly from countries with lower HIV prevalence. This shows that, so far, this epidemic has been mainly by indigenous transmission without repercussions arising from the international population movements ”

to get the percentage of infections will continue to fall, nevertheless will continue to favour the least protected sectors of society, strengthen preventive measures, such as the use of contraceptives (condom) and extend the analysis of HIVas well as the information on this disease.

5 options to treat sprains and distenciones

5 the first are breakages or injuries of ligaments in a capsule articulate (which is a fibrous membrane that surrounds the articulation), while the strains relating to injury or breakage of a muscle.

When applied excessive force on a joint, ligaments that hold the bones together can be twisted or injure. That is what gives rise to a sprain, whose severity depends on the intensity of rotation of the muscles. Any ligament may suffer, but those who are affected most often are those of the ankle, knee and toe. muscular breakage – usually caused by the lack of flexibility, strength or resistance of muscle to carry out certain activities or movements – are treated with various medical alternatives, among which I would recommend cinco:

··· Nutritional therapists recommend vitamin C and bioflavonoides (no nitrogenous vegetable pigments) to supplement a diet rich in whole grains, fruits and vegetables, as well as anti-inflammatory and bromelaína (protein from the pineapple enzyme) and turmeric (Spice also is often used as a dye and condiment).

··· The homeopathic remedy arnica (its gel, ointment, or any of their combinations) can be used initially for a few days, followed by Ivy for injuries related to the joints.

··· Traditional Chinese medicine has used successfully to treat soft tissue injuries. Acupuncture It is used to treat pain and speed up the healing process of damaged tissues, through the mobilization of energy locked in the area.The radiant heat of moxibustion can also be used to improve healing of tissue response

··· There are specialized forms of massage and manipulation of soft tissue that can have significant effects to improve local circulation, encourage more early mobility and curative response in damaged tissue.

··· As a result of the sprains and strains appear additional complications as a result of the freezing of the injured area. To prevent this, some physicians recommend I rest, apply ice for 48 hours, compression with elastic bandages, and rise above the level of the heart.
