Actimel the end of another myth (I)

Actimel the end of another myth (I)

|

Actimel is funny, yogurt was exported to much of Europe as a beneficial product for health (and is) and was very successful. Both that already today nobody seems to remember with that purpose was taken before. It seems that Actimel and other fermented milks the majors have tried to do the same, but we do not live in the 1920s or there is a unique company that marketed the product.

Is the medicine, the stubborn discipline not believed things unless it has a dozen studios in favour (and one against, because but there are enclosed cat). Currently by medicine know that yoghurt is beneficial, is recommended for diarrhea in people who suffer from lactose intolerance and believed that it can help the flora bacterial.

bacterial flora? isn’t that what strengthens Actimel? defenses? clarify certain things, one thing are the bacteria “ beneficial ” that we have in our body and another thing is the immune system. In the first case, these bacteria perform many functions, but mainly fermented food or help synthesize others, such as vitamins. Seems relatively demonstrated that yogurt helps this bacterial flora through lactic acid, which they feed.

And another very different are the “ defenses ” or immune system. The immune system is present almost throughout the body, and it is also in the digestive system. What is more, become a main route of entry of bacteria our agency has an effective system that fights and this is known as GALT. Actimel us was trying to sell was the following: If you take its fermented milk would be taking some beneficial bacteria (l. casei) that would help your bowel. In part the principle of the yogurt was similar, natural bacteria which included were beneficial to health. Now something has changed that with the pasteurized products, etc. but is that science does not support this hypothesis.

Is hard to believe that with introducing bacteria in our diet, these are going to survive stomach acid (very few do so if), then to the bicarbonate from the pancreas and to finish the GALT from the rest of viscera, namely the system immune. as it could survive this bacteria and not others? Danone response wasn’t: (e) s as the l. Casei bacteria are bacteria patented and designed by Danone.

Too much sun higher rate of suicide?

Too much sun higher rate of suicide?

|

Too too much sun in places such as Greenland, where the summer days often cause insomnia, could lead a person to suicide, according to Swedish researchers. Despite the belief of suicides increased at the end of autumn and early winter because of the darkness, new findings suggest that the determining factor could be live in places of constant in the seasons of summer sun.

Karin Sparring Bjorksten the Karolinska Institute in Suiza:

“ for long periods of constant light, it is crucial to maintain something of the circadian rhythm in order to sleep long enough and keep mental health ”

according to the world Organization of the 877.000 health of the world’s people commit suicide each year. Scientists had previously linked disturbances of sleep with increased risk of committing suicide, but in people with psychiatric disorders and in adolescents. But it was not known relationship with the population in general. studies were done between 1968 and 2002 in the suicides of Greenland, in particular, those that occurred in the summer months. These summer effects were in the North of the country, a place where the Sun is visible between the end of April and August.

“ Discovered that the suicides were almost exclusively violent and increased during periods of constant light. In the North of the country, 82% of suicides occurred during the months of permanent light ”

in almost all of them (95%) were involved young men and were violent, such as fire or jumping from high places. The researchers speculate that light creates an imbalance in serotonin, a chemical in the brain, which may increase impulsivity. That in combination with the lack of sleep would lead people to suicide.

“ Light is one of many factors in the complex tragedy of suicide, but this study shows that there is a possible link between the two ”

Theory of compensation

Theory of compensation

|

Theory the other day on TV2 aired what apparently is a space on healthy lifestyles and health tips called Activate, although in reality it resembles more a line in my humble opinion. In this space mentioned the so-called theory of compensation, which in theory more than 60% of women still.

This theory consists of the following: If you exceed a day or a meal, you should “ make up for it ” other day or meal, reducing the amount of calories. This theory is based on what we would understand it by common sense, but fails in the following “ compensating ” fail to save calories that we have gained more in that binge. to be exact, so we simply avoid a little clog up more, but just the same, will be gaining calories. Let us imagine that we have had one of those family meals where obviously we could not avoid eating more protein (the steak or lamb so rich), both FAT (the sauce so rich that you could not avoid or that cheese in the country), as sugar (curd of Grandma’s, aunt compote and similar). You get home and say, “ today don’t need dinner ”, according to the theory of compensation could do so, or you could even do a dinner very slight.

First of all, although you have eaten too one day, you can not avoid the rest of the day meals, takes a soup, or preferably a puree or a stew and a fruit. do this managed to compensate?, earned calories are calories earned and have become fat, and “ desconvertir them ” will cost horrors, but If you can help win more calories that day. Obviously, your needs for the day already have filled them, so Although cenes very light to compensate, this dinner will be calories that you burn do not and acumularás.

Solution? no, I feel, even not dinner, because it is more, will need these vegetables with its vitamins and minerals, and fiber, digesting correctly that binge.

My advice: do not compenses eating less, but doing more cardiovascular exercise on the day following.

Tinctures and creams if they can cause the fall of your hair

Tinctures and creams if they can cause the fall of your hair

|

Tinctures to read the following post on having class (which in turn comes from the Xornal de Galicia), entered me the doubt, known cases in which the use of dyes had caused the irritation of the scalp, as well as the fall of the hair. Both by a misuse by a prolonged use or possess a fragile hair. So after consulting Medline and some tips from the FDA have confirmed: dyes and alisadoras creams can cause hair loss.

These two products can cause if its use is continued swelling, i.e. the hair follicle swells and if it heals, may cause that the hair does not grow again. In these cases certainly must see a doctor, but what you can do to avoid a situation of this style? always keeps your products with sodium hydroxide, i.e. bleach. It is true that they become the product much more effective, but also are far more dañaninos for the scalp, especially if you’ve previously had any irritation. Treat them as if they were normal creams, i.e. enforced a day earlier in the wrist, or a visible place, leaving it the time indicated by the instructions and remove it. If there is some kind of irritation, avoids this product.

Not forget that there are tinctures and creams that cannot be applied immediately after applying one of them, for example, if just ink hair, it is possible that it is forbidden to use the tightening cream, follow the instructions always thus. And in case of any problem, go to the doctor without hesitation.

Hidden food sugar (I)

Hidden food sugar (I)

|

Hidden all know that the first thing we must avoid in a diet are fats, but nor must we forget to avoid sugar or carbohydrate. If we really lose weight will have to avoid them, because most of this fat so uneasy that us it accumulates in the lower abdomen is not due to fat we take, but to the vast amount of sugar we eat, and even without knowing it.

But how do sugar becomes in “ fat ”? if our body can not accumulate huge amounts of carbohydrates, that does not rise the level in the blood becomes glycogen in the muscles and liver. And as these “ stores ” are filled with speed, turns into fat, this is especially true with GI (glycemic index) foods high, or more colloquially, sugars. Our organism absorbs them quickly, greatly increases the level of sugar in the blood and the body is forced to create fat.

But let’s go back to the thread, you have been asked once how much sugar is used to sweeten foods? for example, a Coca-Cola 33 cl has 6 lumps. How can this happen? well because the added sugar should not be compulsorily labelled. In this way if the simple sugars may not exceed 10% of our diet, a diet of an adult male standard of 3000 calories, should not exceed the 75 g of sugar. In the case of women, on a diet of 2300, can not pass 57 Gr.
