Sweet delusion

Diabetics taken to spare and wish them quickly adapt to their plight and the ban is not the glucose and sucrose. And he sugar - sucrose, a disaccharide consisting of glucose residues and fructose - dubbed the "white death". Although the "white" - it's not quite true, as is sugar and brown. And what about "death" of a few exaggerated: he feared not sugar, and its amount. Patients with diabetes who have impaired production of the hormone insulin, produced by the pancreas and regulates the exchange of glucose in the body, of course, be greatly limit their intake of sugar. But patients without diabetes who are struggling with excess body weight, you should not really ignore the sugar, and regard it as "empty calories". Completely eliminate sugar from your diet, as some would like his opponents, it is impossible: glucose and sucrose are included in most foods. In the sugar has no vitamins, no minerals or amino acids, but after all it is easy to implement an energy source. A cup of strong tea with sugar quickly regain strength and gives a charge of vivacity both in physical and in mental work. However, a cup of tea with six spoons of sugar and even in prikusku with candy or marshmallows - a bad habit from which to unlearn. But 10 grams of sugar in drinks and about the same in sweet foods (fruits, sweets) worth keeping in daily diet. We believe: calorie sugar 380 calories per 100 grams, 20 grams - is 76 kcal, that is not much of a caloric contribution. Only need to accurately account for the sugar in the sweets: the jam has approximately the same caloric value as sugar, so that the account must be jam spoon, rather than rosettes, and vysokosaharnye "fruits must be considered individually. For diabetics produce carbohydrate sweeteners (digestible simple carbohydrates): fructose, sorbose, mannose, xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol, lactitol, maltitol. The most common - fructose, xylitol and sorbitol. They are sold as powders, as well as part of the diabetic sweets, chocolates and cookies. Actively using the inulin (a polysaccharide formed by the remnants of fructose), isolated from Jerusalem artichoke tubers (Jerusalem artichoke) or chicory. Inulin stabilizes the amount of glucose in the blood and favorably affects cholesterol and uric acid in the body. Carbohydrate sweeteners are natural and harmless, but you need to take into account the choleretic and laxative effect of xylitol and sorbitol. According to the degree of sweetness and caloric carbohydrate sweeteners are similar to sugar, so that they are willing to lose a little fit. But with a sweet tooth perfectly rescue synthetic non-sugar sweeteners nature (different chemical composition) - also known as sweeteners or intense sweeteners. They fit and healthy people and diabetics. The most popular of them - saccharin, aspartame, acesulfame, sucralose, and cyclamate. They are used either separately or in combination with each other, are selected in such a way as to mimic the taste of sugar. But even with careful selection of taste, not all people are equally perceived sweeteners: some do not distinguish them from sugar to taste, while others feel in them a "not a" smack. The degree of sweetness of artificial sweeteners are extremely high, they are tens and hundreds of times sweeter than sugar and calorie content of either zero or negligible in terms of the employed dose. Most artificial sweeteners are not digested by the human body and displayed in an unaltered form. First, these comfortable sweeteners used safely and widely introduced them in desserts and drinks. Later, they studied on laboratory animals have found serious side effects and after a few terrible articles dubbed the "white death" and have begun to shun. It is unfair and untrue. Indeed, in research tested high doses of podslastiley significantly above the commonly used. And historically sweeteners have proven themselves well, especially saccharin. Since the only reckless inappropriate consumption of sweeteners in uncontrolled doses, especially in children and adolescents, which for normal growth and development just prefer regular sugar. Below is a brief description of some artificial sweeteners. Saccharin - the oldest nekaloriyny sweetener. The degree of sweetness (ie, how many he times sweeter than sugar) - 450. Stable during the freezing and heating, keeps the sweetness in the presence of acids, is suitable for any frying and boiling. Aspartame - a dipeptide of two amino acids: aspartic acid and phenylalanine. The degree of sweetness - 200. Thermally nestoek, so that is good only for adding to an already prepared for cold drinks and cooking. But its presence enhances the flavor and aroma of fruit. Used in mixtures with glucose, sucrose, acesulfame, cyclamate, saccharin. Acesulfame (or acesulfame K). The degree of sweetness - 200. Thermally and chemically stable. As a sweetener of food it is used, usually in combination with other sweeteners, especially with aspartame, as well as carbohydrates (sucrose, fructose). The most important branch of acesulfame is the production of soft drinks, ice cream, candy, cakes and chewing gum, it is also necessary in the manufacture of medicines. Cyclamate - aminosulfonovoy acid derivatives. The degree of sweetness - 30. Thermally stable, well-kept, used in combination with other sweeteners, as well as the preparation of fruit juices, stewed fruit and confectionery. Sucralose - by its very nature chlorinated carbohydrate, and chlorine in the sucralose molecule makes it biologically inert and completely beskaloriynoy. The degree of sweetness - 600. Thermostable. It is used in the manufacture of soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, dairy desserts, canned fruits and vegetables, jams, confectionery and bakery products, sauces, dry mixes, chewing gum. Combined mixtures of aspartame, saccharin, sodium cyclamate and sucralose in various combinations with both fillers (sucrose, glucose), and without them - cvitli. The degree of sweetness varies from 30 to 550. Applied in the form of powder and a sweetener in the manufacture of confectionery and bakery products, beverages, dairy products, desserts, canned fruit. Becoming increasingly popular nature of the glycosidic sweeteners: steviozin, glycyrrhizin and neogesperidin. Glycosides - a substance whose molecules consist of a carbohydrate and non-sugar component. Steviozin (stevioside) is derived from the plant Stevia (honey and herbs). Glycyrrhizin was isolated from licorice (liquorice), sweet roots that have long been used to make candy. Glycyrrhizin include health supplements. Neogesperidin (tsitrozu) is prepared from the peel of citrus fruits. The degree of sweetness - 1800-2000, it is stable at high pressure and boiling in an acidic medium, is combined with other sweeteners and effectively improves the flavoring properties of the products. Currently, the market appeared promising sweetener protein nature, isolated from the African fruit katemfe. He has the highest degree of sweetness - 2000-4000. Of course, for those who do not like sweet, easy to refuse candy and marmalade, indifferent to the jams and cakes and drank tea and coffee, no sugar, no problem. People, to the extent of "respect" sweets and limited by a pair of spoons of sugar per day, it can not worry and do not use sweeteners. But for those who need a sweet high and there are overweight, you should alternate between sugar and sweeteners. Say morning and evening afford to spoon of sugar, and the rest of the night to add to beverages exclusively sweeteners. Diabetes is better to combine carbohydrate sweeteners and non-sugar sweeteners, and check the label if the product is recommended for diabetes. Better yet, consult with your doctor what kind of sweetener to make. In foreign resorts, which in the past decade, Russians have become frequent in eateries and hotels on the dining table is usually exposed pods with white and brown sugar and non-sugar sweetener tablet - the contents of the bag is designed for a cup of tea or coffee. Inscriptions on the bags usually English: white sugar - sugar, brown sugar - brown sugar, sweetener - sweetener. To sum up: in our progressive age it is quite possible to lead a reasonable sweet life and not gain weight and stay healthy. What we will and desire.

Overeating

The term "binge" I put in quotation marks of course because of the subjectivity of the word. In everyday life, the term refers to "not normal" food consumption, energy consumption exceeding the rate of execution of similar work the average person. The following occurs: after the development of our body is over a short period of time we will not arbitrarily decreases in the daily rate of physical exertion. What causes our body into a state of de fitness. Which in turn causes the mode of operation, described by the first postulate. In the blood discharged excess relative to insulin in recalculation to actually do physical work. What causes the penetration into the muscle cells of "unnecessary", with respect to consumption of sugar from the blood. It lowers blood sugar levels, which signals the hypothalamus of the need to restore the average level. A person begins to consume food in such quantity that allows the body to keep the average blood sugar levels with the expectation of "settling" of sugar in muscle cells under the influence of discharge into the blood of excess insulin. That is, the consumption of food goes in your body not to "calculate" calories burned, but only on the change and the level of average blood glucose concentration. Remember this! Further, the composition of muscle cells under the action of the second factor of cell division changes its cellular composition of the cells with a smaller number of insulin receptors. Which in turn displays the hyperinsulinemia in the visible phase, as in other matters, and hyperglycemia. Finally, the last to enter into a fight Diabetes reflex. We start a high-calorie foods, solely for the stimulation of cardiac activity. Those of us who "have acquired" the other reflections of sugar groups to consume these substances, it is primarily about alcohol. Not to mention, and nicotine and caffeine. Extreme manifestations of this process have hypertension, atherosclerosis, diabetes type II. That's basically it. Hypothesis about the sugar reflection allows us to give a simple explanation of the cases, we must say frankly, overeating, under normal operation of the whole organism. Moreover, with his help we are able to describe any change in the number of obese people. Probably the most important in our theory of what we are doing this purely from the point of view, I repeat once again - the normal functioning of the overwhelming number of great and good "people. This opens up the perspective and gives hope for health for all. Not only the correct figure, but also live a long, long life free from disease and stress. From the book by Irene Aberle.

Krupa

Cereals used in our diet, supplying the body carbohydrates (in various cereals they contain from 65 to 77%), vegetable proteins (7 - 12%), fat (6%), and minerals, including phosphorus, iron, potassium, magnesium, calcium and vitamins such as B1, B2, PP, etc. In terms of nutritional cereals can be called a universal product and use for any illness. The same barley suitable for cooking various dishes with a variety of ailments. Using a variety of cooking, we can provide the most gentle mode of the digestive system (liquid and pureed porridge) or call the activation of motor function of the intestine (crisp cereal). Some cereals (rice, oats, barley) with cooking secrete the protein-starch mucus, which is used for cooking soups mucous. These soups are compared with other first courses a little less stimulate gastric secretion, did not cause significant intestinal peristalsis. Mucous soups include diet during exacerbation of gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers, chronic colitis, accompanied by disorder of the bowel, chronic pancreatitis. Semolina is made from wheat. She quickly fall apart, well digested, contains a minimal amount of fiber (0.2%). Liquid semolina porridge include diet, appointed in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and after operations on the stomach and intestines. Rice, like semolina, contains a minimal amount of fiber (0.4%). The most forgiving dishes are slimy soup with rice and mashed boiled rice. Rice goes well with milk, meat, vegetables and fruits. Crumbly rice porridge, rice pilaf with raisins, pudding, pudding, cakes, and dozens of other dishes from the cereals that can brighten breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some people refuse to rice, fearing to grow stout. However, this meal, carbohydrates which consist mainly of starch, much less contribute to the completeness than cakes, jams and other foods rich in sugar. Caloric content of rice grains is approximately equal caloric buckwheat. Many housewives known ability of rice to absorb the salt. Therefore, it can be used to save the situation when the broth was salty. It's enough to wrap up a handful of cereal in a bag of gauze dipped in the broth and boil it. Some people believe that drinking large quantities of rice is useful in diseases of the joints associated with the deposition of salts. This is incorrect. Fig significant effect on the excretion of salt from the body has not. Millet grain, manufactured from millet is rich in minerals, particularly potassium and magnesium. It is advisable to include millet porridge and soups with millet in diets of Clinical Nutrition in diseases of the cardiovascular system. Often wonder whether you can use dish from millet grains (soups, porridges, casseroles) in diseases of the digestive system, referring to some of the scientific and popular articles, which when specifying diseases razrkshayutsya all grains except millet. Limitation of millet grains at the same time is not sufficiently justified. Buckwheat is rich in vitamins, and the number of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, it has no advantage over other cereals. But its proteins in their amino acid composition are considered most valuable. Buckwheat is rich in lecithin, which makes its application in liver diseases. Patients with diabetes often wondered whether they should opt for buckwheat. In terms of carbohydrate content buckwheat is not significantly different, for example, from wheat. Dishes and side dishes from all major resolved in diabetes in a limited number agreed with the doctor. Barley and barley grits are made of barley. Pearl barley is used for cooking porridge, crumbly, different soups, including the mucous membranes. Eating barley porridge hot. Cooled down, it loses its taste, less digestible. From barley grains prepared as crisp and liquid meals. These grains are useful in diseases of the bowel, accompanied by constipation. Corn grits, in addition to vitamins B1, B2, PP, contains carotene (provitamin A). From corn grits cooked cereal, pudding, which, if included in the diet may to some extent reduce fermentation in the gut. Oatmeal, rolled oats (steamed and flattened grain oats), oat flour (flour made from oat grains) in the number of vegetable fat (6,2%) superior to all other cereals, and so most of calories. They have a lot of magnesium, phosphorus. Cereals should be more widely used for cooking various dishes.

Diet for the heart

So, if you: man or a woman older than 50 years, if you smoke, if your blood relatives have heart problems and they have them under the age of 55 years, if you have excess body weight; objectively available you have at least 2 of these signs, you should always know the level of total cholesterol, HDL and low density, triglycerides and blood glucose level (fasting and after eating). If these tests will record adverse deviation, it must immediately make the correction power. With the help of modern drugs and can lower blood sugar and cholesterol, and blood pressure. But the prevention of cardiovascular diseases is far cheaper than cure. And in the preventative aspect of the importance of healthy eating is hard to overestimate. Conducting controlled studies of different diets, like the ones carried out for unbiased evaluation of drugs, shows the need for change in nutrition in patients at risk of destruction of the cardiovascular system. A prerequisite for such conclusions were the observation of mortality from heart disease in residents of the Mediterranean region. Was carried out research, including 605 patients compared the effect of the "Mediterranean diet" food regime and closer to the nutrition of the U.S. population, the frequency of death from cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, strokes. After 3 years and 8 months it became obvious that in the group receiving "Mediterranean diet", more than half of the patients reported significant reduction in risk of cardiovascular complications. "Mediterranean diet" has shown its advantages in another study: 1000 patients who had at least one of the above risk factors for cardiovascular disease, were divided into groups depending on the recommended diet - the Mediterranean diet or recommended by the American National Education Program to reduce cholesterol. All patients received the same medication. After 2 years in both groups, a decrease in total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides, but the fact of reduction of cardiovascular catastrophes confirmed it was in the group with the "Mediterranean diet". In addition, patients in this group significantly decreased need for nitrates and verapamil. What is so special feed the inhabitants of the Mediterranean? Why are food of the Greeks, Cypriots, Italians, and residents of southern France has such amazing properties? It turned out that they have certain eating habits: fruits and vegetables, green culture, grain products (including bread), potatoes. Fat component of food (by the way, even more than the recommended WHO) is about 30%, represented mainly by vegetable oils (mainly olive). Consumption of fish and seafood than meat consumption. Another interesting feature of the Mediterranean diet is drinking red wine. When the researchers tried to expand this power to the components, it was found that fats are unsaturated fatty acids: this is the omega-3 polyunsaturated, oleic, linoevaya, linolenic acid, which not only replaces the saturated fatty acids, which are major substrates for the synthesis of atherogenic fractions of cholesterol and, conversely, have a positive impact, including antithrombotic. Vegetables, fruit, root crops and legumes are rich in potassium, magnesium, fiber and essential micronutrients: bioflavonoids, carotenoids, chlorophyll, terpenoids, etc. Bread wholemeal is a source of B vitamins and fiber. Moderately consumed red wine has positive antioxidant effect due to content of particular substances - polyphenol. From all this it follows that the Mediterranean to the proposed power - a resort for the heart. However, many foods from the diet of the Mediterranean population, we can not eat every day. But to make up their no less beneficial to the cardiovascular system, a menu based on modern scientific knowledge and traditions of domestic cooking is a snap. The most important thing - to increase consumption of vegetables. According to European programs for healthier food consumed in Europe the number of fruits and vegetables is not enough to ensure optimal health and disease prevention. Revealed variations in the huge range: from less than 250 grams per day per person in Russia to more than 1 kg in Greece (ie 4 times more). Full availability of fruits and vegetables in the required amount (400 grams per day), excluding potatoes achieved only in the Mediterranean countries and the Benelux countries. "The full availability" would mean that all the grown fruits and vegetables are eaten. However, in practice did not work: because of spoilage, waste, on average lost about 30% of what is available. Therefore, for an average strip must produce at least 600 grams of fruit and vegetables per capita: not less than 200 grams per day for children and 600 grams - for men. In addition, we must take into account the seasonal shortage of fruit and vegetables. Of course, this raised the problem of state-level maintenance of the population in fruits and vegetables. But we are in some measure ourselves can provide for their families completely available fresh and frozen vegetables (carrots, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli, beets, peas and beans, the Bulgarian pepper and eggplant). Power Monitoring conducted by the Institute of Nutrition, showed that the structure of power in families with different income levels is not the same: the higher the income, the more often appear on the table, fruit and vegetables. Be sure to eat at least 2 or 3 fruits per day: whether a handful of currants, half a cup of cherries and berries may be out of the freezer (of course, defrosted). Lean meats should appear on the desk no more than 1-2 times a week. But eat more fish just need, including the one that is a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids - oily fish (herring, mackerel) and red fish (trout, salmon).

What else is to eat to lose weight?

1. WARNING: If you have high protein diet for a long time sitting on a high-protein diets with significantly reduced carbohydrate content, it can greatly harm your health. About the dangers of these diets that are constantly touted as the best means to combat obesity, warns readers of the magazine of the American Medical Association. Research scientists from Colorado University have shown that such a diet contains large amounts of saturated fats and therefore contributes to an increase in blood cholesterol levels. Such unwholesome food does not guarantee that you will lose weight, but can cause diabetes, cardiovascular disease and even some forms of cancer. 2. MOUSE FAST FOR HUMANITY sharp decline in caloric intake slows the aging process. New evidence in favor of this theory were American scientists. The researchers made three years of starving mice and then analyzed their hepatic cells. It was found that the treated animals did not immediately transformed three dozen genes that tend to vary in the elderly. 3. Skinny as POD hot pepper seasoning Sharp increase perspiration and thus help you lose weight - to such conclusion experts of the German Institute of Nutrition in Aachen, watching for followers of the Mexican and Chinese cuisine. Usually, after such a diet a few people lose weight. For those who want to experience a new way, two warnings. First: This diet does not suit lady's finger, high blood pressure, people suffering from migraines, and all those who pointed the table is contraindicated. And the second warning from dermatologists: if you add lots of spices in food, you should not use antiperspirants. Substances contained in spicy sauce, not only irritate your taste buds tongue and palate, but other areas of the skin. When the stimuli fall into the sweat glands, which, after burning foods have to work hard, we are faced with opposition from antiperspirants. The result - an inflammation of the sweat glands. Since that day, when you went to the Chinese, Mexican or Caucasian restaurant, it is better not to use these cosmetics. 4. WANT SWEET? Junk GENE!

Calcium in the diet of children

From what is related to the indispensability of calcium for people and especially children? In the first place so that calcium, together with the protein forms the basis of bone and teeth and gives them the necessary strength. In them are concentrated the main reserves of calcium content in the body of adults is 1.2 kg. Another vital function of calcium is its part in ensuring a normal blood clotting. Calcium is also required for the normal processes of muscle contraction, including heart muscle, and nerve impulse transmission in the nervous system. The basis for these diverse effects is the involvement of calcium in the construction and functioning of many proteins (such as blood clotting factors), enzymes, cell membranes (including the membranes of nerve cells and heart muscle cells are largely responsible for the normal functioning of the nervous system and heart ). Thus, calcium is required for growth processes, normal functioning of the heart, nervous and muscular systems, to prevent blood loss, etc. The above information explains the severe disorder, which can lead to calcium deficiency in the diet. This growth retardation, impaired bone formation and tooth decay, increased bleeding vessels, excessive nervous excitability (up to cramps - in severe calcium deficiency), malfunction of the heart muscle, increase blood pressure. In infants calcium deficiency is one of the causes of rickets. And in later life insufficient intake of calcium intake in childhood, the dual with the reduction of its deposition in bone tissue is a risk factor for osteoporosis, ie, reduction in bone density, and resulting fractures. This situation may arise, particularly during pregnancy when there is an active deposition of calcium in the bone-forming tissue of the fetus, requiring the mobilization of calcium from the mother's body. Calcium requirements of adolescents aged 14-17 is higher than in all other periods of life. This is due to the high rate of growth of adolescents, coupled with their considerable bone mass, bone mass significantly higher than younger children. Not by chance that the body has a complex system for maintaining a constant level of calcium in the blood. Among the various factors of this system (vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, the permeability of the intestinal mucosa to calcium, etc.) belongs to the forefront of nutritional factors, that is a sufficient intake of calcium from food and its high uptake in the gastrointestinal tract. In accordance with modern scientific concepts, physiological calcium requirements of children 4-6 years of age is 800 mg, 7-10 years - 1000 mg, 14-17 - 1200-1400 mg per day. That such amounts of calcium daily and must get from food. Calcium is found in many foods (bread, cereals, vegetables, fruits, meat, etc.), but is contained in them in small quantities (20-50 mg/100 g). The main source of calcium as are milk and dairy products that are not only rich in calcium, but include it in an easily digestible form and, most importantly, in an optimum ratio with phosphorus. This ensures maximum absorption of calcium. Half-liter of cow's milk (ie 2.5 cups) containing 600 mg of calcium, can satisfy 50-80% of the needs of children in calcium (depending on age). More calcium in the cheese (900-1000 mg/100 g) and curd (100-150 mg/100 g). Especially high in calcium are different special foods, particularly milk and cheese, in addition to these nutrient-rich (150-240 mg kaltsiya/100 ml). Thus, to meet the needs of children and teenagers need calcium every day to drink 400-600 ml of milk (or milk products) and eat about 50-100 grams of cottage cheese and 5-10 grams of cheese. Of course, this is only approximate figures, and the child can eat cheese (or cheese) every day, but so that eventually the average daily consumption was close to this level.

Fruits and berries

Fruit and berries - not only the storage of vitamins. They contain easily digestible carbohydrates and a wide assortment of minerals, organic acids, volatile, dietary fiber. Apples are one of the most popular fruits. As part of sugar apples predominate glucose and fructose. Apples are not considered a rich source of vitamin C, but in the summer and autumn are a significant supplier of this vitamin. In winter, their content of vitamin C greatly reduced. Apples are rich in potassium salts, have a diuretic effect. It contains malic, citric and other organic acids, dietary fiber. Without exaggeration we can say: the apples are useful to all - both healthy and those suffering from various diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, liver, kidneys, joints. Apples in an amount of about 1.5 kg is used in overweight for the handling of the day. Fresh plums and susheny (especially prunes) have a laxative effect, recommended the tendency to constipation. Thanks to the compounds of potassium, vitamin C, dietary fiber include plums in the diet is useful in atherosclerosis, hypertension, kidney diseases. Citrus - oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, lemons have high taste, pleasant aroma, contain vitamins (C, P, carotene), potassium salts, organic acids, volatile. Oranges and tangerines are similar in composition. They contain sugar (8.1 mg), vitamin C (60 mg and 38 mg of oranges in Mandarin). In oranges contain more organic acids than in Mandarin. In lemons contain less sugar (3 mg per 100 g), and organic acids is much greater. Lemons as well as oranges and tangerines contain vitamin C (40 mg), vitamin P, the compounds of potassium. Lingonberry is rich in organic acids (citric, malic, oxalic acid, benzoic acid). Berry water, fresh cranberries and urinating used in the treatment of patients with gastritis with low acidity. Strawberries (garden, forest) in fresh and dried form is recommended for gout as a diuretic, helps to eliminate salt from the body. In strawberries a lot of vitamin C and relatively little organic acids, so it may include a menu of patients with gastritis with high acidity. Cranberry contains a wide range of organic acids. Jelly and fruit drinks from it quench your thirst, increased appetite. Doctors recommend these drinks patient after surgery, as well as in diseases involving fever and suppression of appetite. Useful cranberries and patients with gastritis with low acidity (outside exacerbations). With some diseases of the kidneys and cardiovascular system, where it is recommended to limit sodium chloride, the addition of cranberry dishes enhances the flavor. Raspberries (sushena or in the form of jam) - good diaphoretic and febrifuge. Therapeutic effect of raspberries in it due to content of salicylic acid. Sea Buckthorn combines extremely high content of vitamin C (200 mg per 100 g of berries) with lots of tocopherol - vitamin E. These vitamins play an important role in preventing the progression of atherosclerosis. Carotene content of sea buckthorn on even greater than the carrot. From its berries to give an oil which is used for healing ulcers and wounds. It also possesses analgesic properties. Blackcurrant is famous for an abundance of vitamins C and RA content of vitamin C, fresh black currant second only to the hips. Harvested for future use black currants are useful in the winter and spring, when the body lacks vitamin C. Red Currant incorporates significantly less vitamin C than black. However, it has more carotene and organic acids. Red currants and juice from it quench your thirst, increased appetite. In addition, it is useful when a tendency to constipation. Blueberries are used as binders in acute and chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, accompanied by diarrhea. Strengthens the effect of blueberry caused by a large number of tannins that provide anti-inflammatory effect and reduce intestinal peristalsis. Of dried blueberries cooked infusion broth, jelly. Rosehip - record for the content of vitamin C (650 mg per 100 g fresh, and 1100 mg per 100 g of dried fruits, dry fruits as per 100 g has, naturally, more). Rosehip infusion deservedly gained popularity as a choleretic, diuretic and lung protivoskleroticheskogo funds. Infusion is prepared at 15 g hips a glass of water. For the preparation of the drink rose hips is filled with boiling water and boil in an enamel bowl, covered 10 minutes, then infused for 6-7 hours and filter. The resulting portion contains about 100 milligrams of vitamin C. Black Chokeberry is rich in Vitamin P, are in it and vitamin C. The combination of these vitamins helps to strengthen blood vessel walls. Chokeberry is useful to include in the diet of those with impaired vascular permeability. And it happens in glomerulonephritis, hemorrhagic diathesis. The fruits of Aronia exert vasodilator action. Consequently, they are useful and hypertensive disease.

The teeth on the shelf! Prosthesis may soon become a thing of the past. Already, a British scientist can grow germs animal teeth, which they hope will be transplanted into the jaw. Despite the fact that the work is at an early stage, experts believe that such technology is applied to a man may become available already in the next 10 years. This study is performed under the supervision of Professor Paul Sharpe (Paul Sharpe), to explore the development craniofacial region at King's College London. During the experiments, he got the germ of mouse tooth. The scientist is so confident in the success of future technology, which founded for its development and promotion company called «Odontis». According to Professor Sharpe, the implantation of the embryo in the animal's jaw, he will receive the necessary innervation and blood supply and is firmly entrenched in the gum. The ultimate goal of the project - an opportunity for people to go to the dentist, who take a sample of cells of the patient and grow a new tooth, rather than relying on artificial materials. Two years ago, scientists from the National Institutes of Health have shown that each tooth has stem cells that can give rise to odontoblasts - cells that synthesizes an essential component of any tooth - dentin. Employees Faculty of Dentistry, University of Texas found in the tooth source of cells capable of creating enamel. Professor Sharpe also uses stem cells, however, refuses to more information. He explained that due to a combination of special chemicals he was able to get these cells to transform into progenitor cells of the tooth, and then give rise to the dental rudiments. The scientist said he did not consider the creation of artificial teeth too hard. The announcement of this study, which may make it unnecessary dental prosthetics, was published in the journal «New Scientist». On materials of the American newspaper "Fortune" (2002) Heartburn and heart Many people believe that heartburn - is excessive thirst, when thirsty. In fact, heartburn - it's just a feeling, a subjective feeling. A burning sensation behind the breastbone may be for many reasons. It is known that heartburn accompanied by gastro-intestinal tract. Between the esophagus and the stomach is the sphincter - the muscular valve which in a normal condition in contact with food in the stomach closes automatically. But in diseases of the valve or it does not close completely, or does not close completely. Then the contents of the stomach, including acid enters the esophagus, causing a feeling of heartburn. This is a fairly common disease, especially in the elderly. Often it depends on the food or from some structural changes of the valve. But the burning sensation of heartburn sometimes impossible to distinguish from the manifestations of cardiovascular disease - angina, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction. Therefore, even if the patient was found weak sphincter diagnosed with gastritis, with the appearance of such burning is better to be safe and consult a cardiologist, just to ensure that the heart is all right. It should be borne in mind that even the ECG does not always reflect the real picture. Thus, there is one vessel that runs along the rear surface of the heart called the left artery bypass. If a heart attack occurs in this region of the heart, the ECG is usually not recorded. Therefore need a full reception with a cardiologist, when the physician interrogates the patient, ascertain the nature of pain, and it is sometimes more important than reading ECGs. Pain has many characteristics. If you are afraid of cutting pain that lasts a few seconds and also increases when you take a deep breath - this is not necessarily heartache. My heart hurts in different ways. Sometimes the pain is burning in nature, sometimes - the oppressive, sometimes - the cutting. Determine its true causes in the state of a doctor. On materials of the American newspaper "Contact-Contact» (December 2002) products instead of drugs American doctors have recently stated that they could start selling cancer pizza. It should consist of crusts flax seeds, topped with rosemary, licorice, and garlic and served with orange juice. According to research scientists, each of these foods is a powerful tool for cancer prevention. We'll see how things stand with other illnesses. From stroke and heart attack will help protect the carrots. Only two of carrot eaten per day, fully provide the body with beta-carotene. And this is enough to halve the risk of stroke in men. Women who eat five carrots a week, the risk of heart attack by almost 70% lower. Useful as beans, contain a lot of folic acid deficiency which leads to damage of blood vessels. LDL "bad" cholesterol in the blood reduces the tea, rich in flavonoids. Necessary their daily amount is contained in four cups of tea. Likewise, acts garlic. People who regularly it is used, suffer from cardiovascular disease by almost 20% less. "Straighten out" with "bad" cholesterol salmon, oat bran, soy, dark chocolate and cocoa. If the daily eat 20 grams of cocoa powder and 15 grams of dark chocolate, then 2-3 weeks is possible to achieve the ideal level of cholesterol in the blood. Excellent tool for preventing heart and vascular diseases is a dark grape juice that contains a substance called "resverarol. His way, a lot of natural grape wine. Blood pressure decrease is the same garlic, broccoli, grapefruit and orange juices. For those people who are within six weeks of drinking two glasses of orange juice a day, the upper blood pressure decreased on average by 10 mmHg, and the bottom - up to 3 mm. Since grapefruit juice is more complicated: it can increase the effects of many antihypertensive drugs, so be cautious. There are products that are better than drugs can cope with pathogens. This garlic, apples, olive oil, celery, onions, beets, and tea. Cranberry juice is very helpful, especially to prevent and treat infections of the genitourinary system. Daily consumption of orange juice provides rapid recovery from acute respiratory diseases. Have the same effect lemons, strawberries, sweet peppers. Immune stimulants include live yogurt and garlic. Natural painkillers are tea, coffee, ginger, peppermint and clove oil. Headache well help fresh eggs and milk. The recipe is simple: break the egg in a glass of fresh, fill it brim with boiling milk, stir and drink. When inflammation of the kidneys effective ripe cherry, blackberry, black currant, red cabbage. An excellent diuretic is cucumber juice, especially in a mixture with carrot. Manage mood, that is, serve as a natural antidepressant, may be chocolate, coffee, pear, lemon, green onion, quince, honey and ginger. As the number of "laughing" products included and parsley. If you want to fall asleep quickly, help the honey, orange peel, warm milk. Top 15 fruits and vegetables And yet, what products are the most healing? Such studies have been carried out repeatedly, but the results do not always coincide. Recently, nutritionists have identified the top 15 among the fruits and vegetables. Here they are: apples - reduce cholesterol and promote digestion; lemons - strengthen connective bone tissue and increase body's resistance to infections; bananas - protects the stomach wall from the harmful effects of acute and salty food, contribute to the process of digestion; beans - lower cholesterol, normalize blood sugar in the blood and prevent breast and prostate; cauliflower - rid of impurities and reduces the "bad" cholesterol; strawberries - helps neutralize the virus in the body; carrot - has beneficial effects on vision, increases the efficiency of the heart; potatoes - prevents inflammation and calming acts on the intestines; Garlic - natural antibiotic, reduces cholesterol, is a natural preventive measure and remedy against the disease, oranges - weaken the asthmatic manifestations, a positive effect in muscle atrophy and gum disease; grapefruit - lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels; peppers - protects against colds, asthma, bronchitis, and multiple sclerosis; plum - is bactericidal, promotes digestion, asparagus - provides a diuretic effect, a beneficial effect on the kidneys, onions - gives a good effect on colds, flu, bronchitis.

The important thing is that he believes in the force more powerful than himself, is trying to communicate with them, and this gives him a lot.

Spring desynchronosis

From a biological spring - April to June - in the human body develops violation of coherence (synchronization) of biorhythms in various organs and systems - "spring desynchronosis": during the transition season from a minimum level of total activity (biological winter) to maximum (biological summer ) dramatically increases the amplitude of biological rhythms of most functions and constants of the body. In the spring greatly accelerates the external astronomical clock: increasing the duration of daylight, solar activity, magnetic field of the Earth. Internal biological clock of the human body is actively responding to this: increased excitability of the nervous system, increases the formation of pituitary hormones, thyroid, adrenals, gastrointestinal tract, the reproductive glands. Obviously, in connection with this spring and are marked with a maximum of inflammatory and allergic reactions of the organism, the largest vascular permeability, sensitivity to cold and dampness. In addition, due to weather fluctuations, changes in microbial flora of the intestine and upper respiratory tract (dysbiosis spring) is broken the balance and the immune system. Thus, the spring has a high reactivity and low stability of the organism, and it significantly increases the need for physiologically active substances - vitamins, trace elements, antioxidants, etc. In the food at this time of such substances is extremely small, and their body is experiencing a sharp deficit. Physiologists believe that the spring body extracts energy mainly from carbohydrates, and in autumn turns to fat. They argue that the spring is an innate genetic alteration of rhythms of activity of enzymes and hormones of the gastrointestinal tract. Most likely this is due to historically spring modification of human behavior and diet. Spring Stimulants Among the variety of useful food plants - spring stimulants - special emphasis on seedlings of cereal crops, besides they are the most affordable in the cold season, when not yet grown greens. In the spring time is very good to include in the diet of fresh salads, vinaigrettes, vegetarian soups, borscht, beetroot, spinach main dishes, mashed potatoes, cereal with fresh herbs. Recall that during the heat treatment of the green made softer and easier to digest, but prolonged boiling destroys vitamins. To save as many nutrients, you need to follow a few simple rules. Never store chopped herbs in the air - immediately place it in boiling water, with small portions to a boil quickly recovered. The water should cover the herbs completely during the entire cooking process. Do not drain the vegetable and herb broth, rich in vitamins, - use it for cooking sauces, soups and drinks. For cooking vegetables and herbs are best suited enamelware. Roasted herb from Galina Poskrebyshev lungwort Young shoots and rosettes of dandelion, green carrots, celery and parsley decorates spring table, will make the diet variety and aesthetic pleasure. Greens should fry in a large amount of vegetable oil in small portions to the pan to put after a red oil. Remove with slotted spatula is better or a fork (so the glass too much oil), and only then add salt. Each serving a separate place, not breaking branches. Fried Lungwort Young shoots lungwort wash, pour over boiling water, roll in bread crumbs or flour, fry in vegetable oil. Before serving, add salt. Roasted dandelion rosettes Rosettes dandelion boil in salted water, rinse with cold water, roll in crumbs, flour or bran and fry in vegetable oil. Fried green-stuff Plant carrots, parsley and celery wash, dry towel and fry in a large amount of vegetable oil. Before serving, add salt. Coenzymes after winter How else can we fight spring tiredness? Some practical advice Mary Saveliev, Editor Portal http://kuking.net gradually lowered caffeine intake, since it affects the hormones that regulate blood sugar levels. Otherwise, you will need more and more caffeine to feel more energetic, but will miss him on less and less time. Besides, he does not successfully receive the body of nutrients. Eat more grains, such as unsweetened muesli for breakfast. Thanks to them, the energy will be produced slowly and continuously. Drink plenty of water, carbonated mineral water helps to keep calcium in the body, so it is better for bones than non-aerated water. Eat foods rich in coenzyme Q10: beef, fatty fish, peanuts and spinach. Nutritionists often recommend these products to patients who need more energy. Eat protein at every meal. They help slow down the digestive process and get slowly producing energy. Add more fiber in the diet - it is necessary to deal with constipation, fatigue aggravating. Fiber also provides a steady rise in blood sugar. Fruit instead of chocolate bar - the right way to increase the amount of fiber.

Diet of divorce

Experts believe that emotional instability in the family is directly related to nutritional deficiency in the body. In most cases, spouses are suffering from an imbalance in blood sugar: a surplus leads to irritability and uncontrollable emotional outbursts ... A shortage of at least one of the main vitamin or trace element causing shock waves. As a "preventive" therapy against divorce dieticians suggest to learn the ABC of a balanced diet. To avoid gross violations of diet and clearly distinguish wholesome food from the harmful, the American Academy of Family Physicians Association offers a visual aid - the Pyramid of healthy foods. " Base of the pyramid - the foundation of health - are foods containing carbohydrates (one third of all food). Basically, these should be products from unrefined whole grains. This category includes: bread - on the widest variety of black and rye, diet with added bran, oatmeal, made with whole grains: buckwheat, oat, millet, wheat, corn, barley, pasta quality wheat crackers (biscuits) ; included in our fashion breakfast cereals, preferably cereals, which are useful vcego is not with milk, and since the lactic acid products. The second (quite respectable) floor of the pyramid is occupied fruits and vegetables: raw, boiled, steamed and baked. In this category included: fruit and vegetable juices, fruit drinks, jelly, vitamin and herbal teas. In some fruits and vegetables predominate carbohydrates (potatoes, bananas), while in others - fats (seeds), there are those with more protein (beans, soy). On the third floor of the pyramid - protein - the main building blocks of our body. Left - milk and milk products to the right - high quality animal and vegetable protein: poultry (chicken, turkey), meat, fish, eggs, beans, peas and lentils. Since they are neighbors, we should observe a reasonable compromise to ensure the peaceful life of our body: in one meal is not necessary to interfere with products from the left and right halves. We must take into account the dimensions of the pyramid: the company products from this floor should not take so much space in your diet, as neighbors from the bottom. Products containing proteins should be approximately half of the diet. At the top of the pyramid is a small group of products, which lacks many important health vitamins and macro-and micronutrients. It's all "very-very": candy, chips, salted nuts, spices, alcoholic and nonalcoholic carbonated beverages. If you do not want to hurt, try to look at the top of the pyramid of healthy eating as little as possible! Incidentally, the same classification is easy to remember the basic laws of matching food: carbohydrates (the foundation) can not be combined with proteins (third floor) - they shared remarkably beautiful (and useful) on the floor of fruits and vegetables.

MATErialny world

It turns out that there is nothing! In Latin America and tropical Asia long ago drinking mate - chaepodobny drink that is made from dried leaves and twigs of an evergreen tree type padubovyh Ilex paraguariensis. This tree grows in the forests of Argentina, Chile and Paraguay, for which he is sometimes called the Paraguayan tea. Mate great tone, improves concentration, does not cause primary excitation and does not accumulate in the body. In addition, it does not develop addiction. Digression into the history in Europe is known about mate in 1620 opened his first Spaniards. A detailed description of the same plant gave the French botanist, Aug. de St. Hilaire. Cultivation of tea plantations Paraguayan Jesuits were actively involved, sell it in Europe under the name "Elixir of the Jesuits." Infusion of highly valued and was worth more coffee and tea. By the beginning of the twentieth century. in Europe about the forgotten mate, possibly due to a succession of revolutions in South America. By mid-century things are changing.

However, unlike the last action mateina is milder, with no side effects and addiction. Mate helps to improve digestion, restore damaged and inflamed mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract, improves the oxygen supply of the heart, normalizes blood pressure.

Another indispensable attribute of the ceremony - fish is (or bombizhya) - duct through which the drink mate. Tube (length 15-25 cm) can be straight or slightly curved. In its upper part is slightly flattened mouthpiece, and the bottom, which is lowered into the water, there is thickening with small holes. Tube is made of silver, bone, cane, or wood.

Lowered to the bottom of the tube, slightly bury her in the thick leaves. After that, top up the container with hot water almost to the top. Water should be just hot (70-80 ° C), but not boiling water, otherwise the drink loses its taste, and begins to taste bitter. Willingness to drink is determined by type of welding - it loses its flowability, swells and becomes thick green porridge. Re pour tea leaves with hot water can be 5 times or more.

Starvation

Fasting - the best and fastest way to get rid of fat. I own it is often practiced. But there is a drawback. If you start a hunger strike, without some training can be easy to lose muscle mass, and damage to internal organs. The method of fasting has two drawbacks, the first I have to say. The second - the speed at which the weight comes to its initial value. That confirms my theory about the cellular distribution of muscle and adipose tissue. As soon as the restrictions on food intake dropped all the processes' start to play again. " Adipose tissue is composed of functionally weak cells, has nevertheless share the property faster. Fasting muscle tissue as unchanged. In fact, we tried to influence the cell mass formed by the action of the second factor of cell division, using the first factor. That is, reduce the total number of cells by depriving them of food resources needed for life. Instead affect the second factor - creating conditions for adipose tissue, in which there is a change of cellular composition of a more functional and reduce the expense of the total number of cells. For adipose tissue, this means the cells at a higher rate of insulin, fat accumulation, as well as a higher rate of return of nutrients into the blood. Some people try to argue me. Lead as an example of the Yogis. Here they are as hungry and have excellent, healthy body. Ha, I'll answer. Yoga is not starving to lose weight, but in order to suppress the perception of hunger - to learn to control sensory perception - Pratyahara. This type of training to be on a higher level than Hatha yoga, a lower level, practicing you naturally should bring your body into shape. In principle, the basic yoga offers delicious exercise. I recommend to all classes of Hatha yoga. The exercises are very simple, effective. From the book by Irene Aberle. "Elimination of obesity." St. Petersburg, 2004. irene_aberle@yahoo.com

Antidepressant cinnamon

The Russians very fond of traveling to tropical countries such as Egypt and Turkey. Of these, our tourists bring a magnificent tan, hookahs and ... of course, spices. What are they useful? Narrated by a general practitioner working under contract at the Egyptian Hospital El Gouna Marina Lemesheva.

Carry The most popular, of course, curries. This is a complex spice, consisting of several components. Sometimes the number goes up to 20 or even 24. But in any case, three ingredients are the same and binding. This coriander powder, turmeric root and red pepper, cayenne often. If the last component is contained in large quantities, curry turns out very sharp. Some love it, and some such vigorous seasoning absolutely nowhere. In order not to be trapped before purchasing curry powder to taste. With a few grains to determine the severity. Useful properties of the curry quite a lot. However, the greatest interest deserves an anticancer effect of seasoning. It was discovered during research conducted by British scientists. They found that turmeric, a member of curry, reduces the likelihood of tumor development, especially in the gut. Effect is so pronounced, that now operates program to create an anti-cancer drugs based on turmeric. The most popular dish is the curry chicken, because as a seasoning blends perfectly with chicken. But it can add to the beef and pork, and fish. Vegetables also dressed with curry, do honor to any owner.

Moloheya It is extremely common in Egypt, flavoring. Rather, the seasoning to call it difficult, as this herb is a full ingredient in the sauce of the same name. Made it very simple - a dry moloheya poured the broth in a 1:1 ratio, and then a thick green paste is cooked to a viscous consistency. Within a few minutes until cooked in the sauce is added finely ground toasted garlic. This is a classic recipe that life has many variations. For example, the Egyptians often add to your favorite sauce, onion, red pepper and other seasonings sharp. Its democratic moloheya confirms combinability fine with almost any food - buns, meat, rice and vegetables. Dishes become totally awesome, mouthwatering taste. But besides these gastronomic virtues moloheya possesses unique healing properties - primarily anti-inflammatory. This is especially pronounced effect on the gastrointestinal tract. After acute poisoning, when the person has an appetite, moloheya just what you need. Broth delivers all organic matter, and the grass itself - vitamins and minerals.

Cinnamon Cinnamon is familiar to us from childhood. However, few know the unique properties of this spice. And she, incidentally, has antidepressant action. The fact that cinnamon contains a substance similar in composition to the so-called hormone of happiness that control our mood. Therefore, adding the cinnamon meal, we deliver ourselves a little bit of joy. Still, this seasoning has a strong diaphoretic action, so it is very useful for SARS and any colds. Instead of raspberry jam in the tea you can add cinnamon. Since it can also make rinsing with angina, because the bark of cinnamon tree has also an antiseptic effect. Better to buy cinnamon sticks and grind just before use. A seasoning can be used in the preparation of all desserts.

Helba Helba usually sold together with spices, but the spice is not. This kroshkovatoe white-yellow stuff is brewed as a tea in the proportion of 1:20. The drink is obtained quite specific, but can not say that unpleasant - just unusual for Europeans. Helba is very refreshing in hot weather. But this is not the main thing. The main thing that is such a "tea" is almost indispensable for colds, bronchitis, asthma and pneumonia. The fact that helba has a very strong expectorant effect - a much more pronounced than that of many modern medicines.

Peppers Peppers - it is nothing like the dried and shredded sharp-sweet peppers. Depending on their degree of maturation of seasoning can be green or red. Typically, the green a little sharper. Its just enough to emphasize the taste of a dish. But here we must be careful - paprika easily undercooked and then gives the bitterness. Therefore, it should be put just before the alert. It is also important because the paprika contains plenty of vitamin C, which is quickly destroyed by heat treatment. In order not to lose useful stuff, seasoning should not languish long in the pan. And one more detail. Peppers has the ability to enhance blood, so it can be recommended to all those who suffer from anemia of any origin.

Zira Zira - is cumin seeds. This spice is widely used in Arab cuisine, and is best suited to vegetables and meat. But the most famous dish - a pilaf. Oil of cumin - this is a great immune, which greatly increases the body's defenses. For this purpose, oil is taken by a teaspoon twice a day for two hours before eating. Have kuminovogo oil is another purpose - the restoration of fragile and brittle hair. In this case, would be the best mask on the roots. Need to rub a little money in the scalp, then wrap up its first polyethylene, and then - with a towel. Half an hour later oil is washed off with shampoo. The procedure is repeated every week for a month. Buy kuminovoe oil can have all those same sellers spices. They willingly offer their customers a dark glass jars in a chemist's package, which is embedded into the instruction.

Dry basil basil especially quickly loses its flavor, so it requires a strictly sealed storage conditions. This seasoning can be put in almost all the dishes - soups, meat, fish, poultry. It goes well with basil and vegetables, especially beans, peas and beans. Seasoning is not recommended for pregnant women. Yet it must avoid those who take hormonal contraceptives, and those who have suffered a heart attack or stroke. These people have a tendency to "thickening" of blood, and basil only contributes to this. But this grass very well help with inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Gastritis, enteritis, colitis - all these diseases are treated with infusion of basil beautifully. They can also lubricate the skin affected by eczema or psoriasis. Jeanne Pertseva

Motion to losing weight

Due to the nature of today's life (elevators, public transportation, machinery manufacturing, etc.), lack of exercise increases and becomes a social phenomenon as socially sound reasons to make physical effort is less. In the rise of hypodynamic see one of the reasons for increasing the frequency of obesity (by 10% every 10 years). From lack binding and that excess body weight is more often in urban than in rural areas, while the non-manual workers more often than in dealing with physical labor. Often, excess body weight appears with former athletes after the cessation of exercise. Sometimes young people are fattening after returning from the army. At the same time be aware that in the normal energy expenditure decreases with age - about 10% for each 10 years of life, that is, thirty-year energy consumption by an average of 10% less than two decades, middle-aged - 20% of fifty - 30 % etc. It is connected with a decrease in basal metabolic rate, ie the energy consumption for maintenance of major life functions at rest - respiration, heart, liver, kidney, intestine, muscle relaxation and nutrition, etc. The body with age as it learns to live more frugally. Girls in their twenties mass excess occurs with a frequency of 15% in thirty years - 27%, and in forties up to 50%. Why is lack of exercise, or reducing energy consumption, contributes to rise of body weight? The fact is that muscles are very effective fat trap: they are oxidized or burned 90% of total body fat. In working muscle fat oxidation is great. Conversely, if a person works a little muscle, then fat in their oxidized low. And work the muscles is not always obvious or even noticeable. For example, to maintain muscle tone, that is a partial contraction of muscles, which determines their willingness to work also consumes energy. Probably, many noticed that the tone depends on the mood. It turns out that people in a good mood spends more energy than in a bad mood. A person can be fussy, restless and, conversely, slow, precise in his movements. These people can perform at the same time, roughly the same amount of work. Sometimes the "slow" manage to do this work even more. They do not fuss, their movements are economical and accurate. But the energy of the "fussy" spend more because of the greater number of unnecessary movements. And, as a rule, the first more likely to have a healthy body weight, while the latter - most exuberant. Many people think that successful weight loss requires intense physical effort, and the more intense the better. For example, jogging for 1 hour a day. And as to perform such load neither the strength nor the time nor the inclination, most of them and does not comply. However, the optimal weight loss is loads of low and medium intensity, but prolonged in time. For example, walking for 1 hour a day, or for more trained people, jogging for 0,5-1 hours a day. And it is very important condition of muscles, not only during but also after the workout. If at the end of training increases muscle tone, then this requires the energy that the body will be taken from the burning of fat. Thus, the fat, it turns out, can burn not only during exercise, but also after them. By the way, with loads of high intensity in the muscles spent mostly carbohydrates, and the resulting oxidized products (acetone, lactic acid) blocks the process of combustion of fat. After loads of muscle is usually completely relaxed and the oxidation of fat in them is not happening. By behaves differently and appetite. After loading it can either increase or decrease. Moreover, increase in appetite is usually celebrated with loads of over-intensity. It is obvious that the requirement to train as much as possible and the intensity can not only help to lose weight, but, conversely, to hinder. Below is the power consumption (in kcal / h) with various activities. Seat 60 300 Walk up the stairs 900 480 Swimming Tennis Game 400 Running 900 Biking 451 Skiing 600 Physical training can be regarded only as a method of supplementing the diet. When applied in isolation body weight usually is not reduced or reduced only slightly and briefly. Assume that the load independent method for reducing excess body weight - an old and common mistake. Conventional health training (shaping or dance aerobics) for 1 hour 2-3 times a week to resolve this issue as ineffective. Another thing - plus a load diet, of course, if diet and training regimen are chosen correctly. Several studies have shown that while the application of diet and exercise may reduce body weight by 15-20%. How dose the load? The main thing - to pick up load it to your body, your level of fitness. If after a workout or exercise you feel a pleasant warmth, a sense of cheerfulness, improve muscle tone and mood, and appetite is not growing or even declining, then you guessed right, and this load for you. If you are tired after a workout, muscle tone is low, and appetite increases, then this load is too great for you, you should reduce it. In no event should not try to overcome fatigue or to keep up with a more trained comrades. There is a method of dispensing the load, taking into account age. Pulse of the load should be 60-65% rate, the maximum for a given age. Maximum heart rate for age is determined by subtracting from 220 age in years. For example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum heart rate 190 beats / min. At the height of the load it should be 60% of this quantity, about 125 beats / min. Optimally to breath at the height of the load was not more than 16-20 breaths per minute. Shortness of breath with a load means, among other things, that the extraction of energy from fat and carbohydrates your muscles of oxygen is not enough and the oxidation of fat in them is inhibited. How often should I train? There is no single opinion. Some consider the optimal daily exercise for 30-40 minutes, while others - for 1-1,5 hours three times a week. It is useful to do aerobics or gym with a trainer. Professional trainers always taught the rules of control and dosing burden. But you can do and self-employed: this can be walking, walking on rough terrain, running, walking, skiing, swimming, running lesser or greater extent, lessons at home on a stationary bike or treadmill, etc. Workload are best used in combination and from time to time rotate, as they can "become boring." Training should start slowly. If you have not exercised, your joints, muscles hardly adapted to physical stress, and therefore may stretch microtrauma. And be sure to select comfortable footwear. If you do not have time to make long load type of the above, we can offer toning exercises in the style of dance aerobics for 5-8 minutes 4-5 times a day, or 12-15 minutes 2 times a day - morning and evening. Account when the data loads - to increase general and muscle tone, some acceleration of the flow of metabolic processes, a possible reduction in appetite. Physical training and exercise by increasing muscle tone improves posture, and other properties of the shape, enhance mental performance, reduce the incidence of colds and depression. On the background of properly selected training normalizes blood pressure, slowed the progression of atherosclerosis. With the help of exercise can cause a selective consumption of fat in certain places. Fat rather go with those areas where the muscles work intensively. If you have excess fat on your stomach, you should do exercises that strengthen the abdominals (in the prone position to pull the legs to the abdomen or to perform their rotational motion, in a standing position to make the slopes of the Arch or the back of the torso). With significant excess body fat on the thighs need exercise for thigh muscles (squats, jumping). And so on ...
