Healthy Food or Junk Food

We often try to buy only food that will be good for our health as we seek to improve our health status: muesli for breakfast instead of toast with sausages, yogurt instead of milk chocolate, and juice instead of cola. But, as it is, not all foods that are healthy may seem really well. For example, muesli, yoghurt, juice and not only are good for you, but hide any damage to the body as well.

But, as it is, not all foods that are healthy may seem really well. For example, muesli, yoghurt, juice and not only are good for you, but hide any damage to the body as well.

Muesli not relate to healthy food?
Muesli often contains high concentrations of sugar and salt. On the other hand, literally, every vitamin and mineral in the "healthy" breakfast is chemically designed.

Is that healthy yogurt?
As for yogurt recent studies have shown that most of them contain sugar, corn syrup and artificial substitutes. For these reasons it is recommended to buy skim yogurt instead of fruit-flavored one. Add a bit of fruit and berry yogurt skimming yourself.

Is it juice good for your health ?
Even the juice is not as healthy as it may seem. Many juices sold there only look at juice, and even have a sign "100%" in the package. Naive to believe to be 100% pure juices and buy because they want to supplement your body with healthy nutrients, but only get 100% concentrated diluted. In fact, the word "juice" is nowhere mentioned in the box.

Doest consuming juice lead to obesity?
Also, if you read the information on the package carefully, you will see that even pure fruit drink contains sugar. If you are a strong healthy eating that probably know very well that over-consumption leads to obesity and high cholesterol levels.
From what has been said before, one conclusion can be done - no matter how much some dieticians praise product - Read the information on it carefully before you consume it.
Just another info for your health.

Diet In Winter Leads to The Common Cold and Flu

Do you count calories to maintain their slim figure? Are you who famishing only to lose spare tire? Those who decided to lose weight before Christmas should know the following - the fewer calories you enter your body the more difficult it is to combat viruses and infections.
The investigation by the Michigan State University has shown that mice on a calorie-restricted diet have a higher risk of death within the first few days after their infection with the bacteria that cause cold. Even with adequate levels of vitamins and minerals, 40% decrease in caloric intake can lead to serious illness, but not desired thinness.

Even with adequate levels of vitamins and minerals, 40% decrease in caloric intake can lead to serious illness, but not desired thinness.

The lack of vitamins and physical activity in the winter period results in weaker immune system, making the body more susceptible to viral infections. Our body fights the infection, especially in the early stages, with the help of antibodies that kill the virus. But without the necessary antibodies our body is not capable of resisting diseases. With the restricted intake of calories the body recovers more and becomes increasingly vulnerable to colds and flu. In winter, we have a stockpile of essential nutrients, dietary and weakens the immune system and prevents recovery processes. Therefore, forget about the strict diets in the cold season.

Stop Smoking Without Gaining Weight


Many women who try to quit, unless they are afraid to take the unwanted weight. To what extent these fears are real and how they can maintain weight? The main reason for the weight again lies in the improvement of the gastric mucosa and the secretory function of the stomach affected by gastritis that develops gradually in smokers. That's why those who quit smoking experience increased appetite and finally, increased metabolism. That explains why they tend to get your book again after discarding bad habit.

That's why those who quit smoking experience increased appetite and finally, increased metabolism. That explains why they tend to get your book again after discarding bad habit.

To eliminate the problem of gaining weight, eat more fruits and vegetables, drink more fluids and exercising more intensely in the first months without cigarettes.
The development of eating habits to prevent weight gain
Moreover, it is advisable to eat more, but in small portions, for a while. The best way is to eat five small meals a day. Eat slowly, chewing food thoroughly, and make a break for a few seconds every time you swallow.

If you have been smoking away and stuck with his new diet plan for a month, can return to a regular diet, without adding inches to your waist or thighs. But why leave your healthy diet? Once they began to quit and a healthy lifestyle, keep it healthy and eating small meals and more fruits and vegetables

Scientists Have Discovered A New Way To Fight Against Obesity

The study published by biologists in the journal Science says it is now possible to extract cells that become fat of the lining of blood vessels. New findings will help in the treatment of diabetes and obesity and improve healing. Progenitor cells from fat are mature stem cells. Unlikely that embryonic stem cells turn into any cell type, they can develop into different cell types in one tissue - the adipose tissue in this case.

Stem cell experiments

Mature stem cells could be medically useful, provided there is a possibility to extract different parts of the body and settle in other regions. So far it has been a great technological challenge of identifying and extracting stem cells.
Research at the University of Southwestern Texas Medical Center has managed to find the exact location of stem cells in mice and invent a device of these cells.

Stem cells and obesity

Scientists engineering a line of mice with stem cells that glow green, allowing them to watch the movement of cells and development of fat cells. They found that stem cells are located in the walls of blood vessels that feed adipose tissue. When fat cells die, stem cells divide to produce new fat cells. In addition, stem cells start to develop fat cells sense if excess calories. Accordingly, the fat cells multiply, which May be a cause of obesity.

Green light for the treatment of obesity

Green allowed the light of research to separate the progenitor cells from fat mice. In laboratory studies, researchers have determined stem cells have molecules on the surface, which can make the task of isolating stem cells from the human body easier.
"Since we can now isolate the progenitor cells, we can study the molecular structure. This will not only reveal how they operate, but also help in treating many human conditions ", - said the head of the research team Dr. Jonathan Graff.
Scientists believe that their findings will help in the treatment of obesity, diabetes and other metabolic disorders. It can also improve the healing and resolution of scars.
