Butter vs. margarine (I)

Butter butter or margarine? the eternal question which is better?

Nobody can deny that margarine is cheap and easy to spread and that the butter has better fame and a characteristic flavour. The first is obtained from various vegetable oils, while the second exclusively from milk or cream obtained of the fights, but which is healthier?

A study of the EROSKI-CONSUMER magazine them has been tested and the results were striking, specially for the advocates of the natural, with the elaborate: for normal consumption the margarine is healthier. how is it possible? apparently margarines have a fat percentage much lower on average in comparison with the butter, while the Ligeresa and Artúa marks are 40% and 57% respectively, the butter reaches 83%. And that without taking into account that the margarine have less saturated fat (harmful to the heart), barely 30%, compared to 70% of the butter, margarine difference, if they have cholesterol (250 mg / 100 g).

This makes by every 100 g take margarine, involving 500-550 Kcal and the butters 748 Kcal. This has to do the amount of water that have both, margarine has almost a half (44%) is water and butter only 15%. If the butter has no additives and its salt amount is ten times smaller than the margarine, although in both cases is really low.

Operation bikini 10 simple tips (I)

Operation launched a new section section dedicated to the operation bikini with 10 simple tips. The first might seem obvious, but it is so obvious as important.If you plan to start a diet begins to find a vitamin complex.

Vitamins as well you know are organic substances that our body needs in small amounts. There are other non-organic compounds, which are minerals and they are also essential, but of them talk another day. We must make it clear from the outset that vitamins do not thin, nor will they help you lose weight, no matter that they say vitamin Q10 or many others, not thin. do then because decisions? When you begin the operation bikini must understand that you are going to “ force ” your body’s metabolism. Does not mean that this is bad, what is more, there is not a State of perfect 10 where we can say that we will be always healthy. We got used almost to anything and our metabolism equal or more, adapts to a sedentary lifestyle, but also to the exercise, do not worry.

We have already emphasized several times, but there is no operation bikini without exercise, it is impossible to lose weight without exercise (unless you pretendáis do fast, after which the “ effect rebound ” will be terrible). And without diet, there is no operation bikini. Both diet and exercise will cause your body to acquire less vitamins due to diet and you need more vitamins because of the exercise.

You may wonder, but with fewer calories diet will not have more vitamins? no, quite the contrary, there are many (especially important) only them you’ll find dissolved in the fat, is animal or vegetable, in particular are vitamin A, D, E and K. In other words, If you’re going to avoid fats (like you do), it is recommended that you seek a supplement rich in these vitamins. We already have the first right and the second is as obvious as the first, if you are going to perform exercise (or more) you’re going to “ eating ” more vitamins, i.e. going to force your body to burn the sugar and these fats, and to do it correctly you will need the vitamins.

Warning: If you suffer from heart, hypertension, food allergy, or any chronic disease, you should consult the pharmacist or your doctor before taking these supplements. Currently they are not dangerous for health, thanks to the new regulations of the European Community, but in pathological States, take vitamins and/or minerals is something you have to do with much care.

Butter vs. margarine (II)

Butter probably what most he has thrown into face in a margarine are the famous trans fats or hydrogenated. Apparently these fats contribute to increase the level of cholesterol “ harmful ” (LDL) and to decrease the “ good ” (HDL). This study demonstrates that margarines have barely 0.7% and the butters at 2.5%. For the defenders of the butter this unimportant, being these fats as they of origin natura .

From a scientific point of view, this is false, i.e. a hidrogenada plant and other industrial grease are exactly the same, or a molecule above or one below, identical. And yet the debate continues today in this regard. keep in mind that this reduction was not casual but causal, CONSUMER EROSKI magazine detected 8.6 per cent of trans fats in margarine. No doubt the changes after 13 years due to studies published during the last years and the possibility of prohibition by the authorities of the EU. Even begin to abound margarines with less than 50% of fat, up to 20%, the so-called “ light margarine ”.

So it seems definitive, margarine is more beneficial to the health or perhaps should say so, less dangerous to health. They are both ultimately products rich in fats, some animal, and other vegetable, but if you suffer from heart to you should be most concerned about is cholesterol have butter, that hardly can be found in margarine.

Actimel the end of another myth (II)

Actimel in the previous post mentioned that these special bacteria designed by the actimel could hardly survive until it reaches the intestines. But give good that possibility, say these manage to survive the acid and bicarbonate in the stomach and pancreas, does that can “ help the defenses ” most bowel bacteria?

As always, longer advance response, does not help our defences in nothing or almost nothing. As we said, one thing is the system immune and other digestive system. They might be beneficial to the digestive system, no doubt, if the yogurt or it is, it could be. In other words, bacteria play an important role and for a person who suffers from osteoporosis vitamin D you are synthesized to then be absorbed, it is vital, because it facilitates calcium is fixed. Do but can bacteria stimulate/help/improve the immune system defenses? emphatically not, even to the defenses of the intestines, the GALT. Association of users of the communication to such absurdities decided to denounce the Danone company to Autocontrol. They based the complaint in this product was sold as beneficial to health, to be exact, with preventive properties against the “ external infections ”. And what he has done self-control? it has failed in favor of the AUC and against Actimel, who have decided to withdraw their advertising those references the supposed beneficial effects of this product.

Conclusion: tomato a natural yoghurt containing cheaper, more calcium and can add you any fruit, and to care for your immune system, simply, exercise and good diet.
