Soda can also cause diabetes

Although soda have less calories and almost no simple sugars contribute to the body, not as good for health as we believe , it can encourage the quantity and frequency of intake and also, oddly own sugary foods, can also produce diabetes .

After evaluating more than 66,000 women for fourteen years and detect diabetes cases arising in that time, the researchers found an association between those who consumed more than 1.5 liters of soda per week and the development of diabetes .

Specifically, intake of more than 1.5 liters of artificially sweetened beverages a week increased the risk of type 2 diabetes by 130%, compared with people who do not get this type of diet drinks.

The amazing thing is that people who consume this amount of sugary drinks are 50% more likely to suffer the disease, much less than the risk associated with the intake of diet soda.

Despite the observed results arising from a large study done in time and we must take caution before such data, because while researchers worked to exclude effects of other factors associated with the development of diabetes, can not see a cause-effect relationship between diet soda consumption and the onset of the disease.

In fact, it is possible that genetic predisposition and other factors associated with lifestyle influence this relationship.

However, soda can accentuate our sweet tooth and have no sugar but may produce a similar effect as sweetened taste in the brain. Also, there are many diet soda possessing chemicals not recommended in excess in our body.

So, speaking of drinks , or those with sugar or those light are advisable daily if we want a healthy diet for the body.

Seven foods consumed daily reduces heart risk

There are several foods that benefit the heart, but if we quantify the effect on cardiovascular health, can only reveal the results of a recent study published in the British Medical Journal that states thatseven foods consumed daily by 76% can reduce heart risk .

Although separately ingested these foods also contribute to cardiovascular health, if we add the effect of all daily and include in our diet, we can achieve a significant reduction in heart disease risk. The seven foods that we discussed are:

• Wine
• Fish
• Black chocolate
• Almonds
• Garlic
• Fruits
• Vegetables

Eating these foods daily as part of different preparations and in adequate amounts represent a 76% lower risk of heart disease and 6.6 years longer for men and 4.8 years for women.

Apparently, the fact that combining these foods have different effects on cardiovascular health is a way to enhance the benefits, because although the garlic helps reduce bad cholesterol and antithrombotic effects, the black chocolate provides antioxidants and reduces pressure pressure. The fish with omega 3 reduces triglycerides and raises good cholesterol, such as almonds . The wine is rich in antioxidants and fruit and vegetables contribute to potassium, water and phytosterols.

So, if we take care of the quantities of food at the time to include the daily diet and combine them all on the menu every day, we get this remarkable effect: reduce by 76% the risk of heart disease with the help of healthy eating and of course , an entire lifestyle that accompanies it.

We can not say that while these foods reduce heart disease risk, there are others who can also provide benefits, such as legumes, olive oil or other. Clearly, these foods help but the sum of several habits have greater effect.

Five reasons to eat avocado

Avocado is a fruit much forgotten by athletes and people who want to lose weight because of their high fat content. When we heard they contain almost 30g of fat per piece, got scared and did not include it directly in our basket. But as not everything that contains fat is bad, let me explain five reasons to eat avocado .

Avocados are one of the best foods you can eat any athlete . Whether you are fitness enthusiasts like you are crazy endurance.

• They can help improve cholesterol levels and stabilize heart rhythm thanks to the more than 20g per piece of large amounts monounsaturated oleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3).


• Support the growth and repair of muscle mass as they contain good sources of protein, high amounts of potassium and zinc, even more than bananas themselves. And as I mentioned, many grams of monounsaturated fat, which also will improve the levels of the hormone testosterone naturally .


• Reduce inflammation in the joints and assist in cartilage repair due to its essential fatty acids and vitamin E.


• They feel satiated for longer , thanks to its seven grams of fiber per piece, soluble and insoluble, which slow the breakdown of carbohydrates and the large amount of oleic acid that activates the area of the brain that makes you feel full.


• Enhance the immune system, because they are high in carotenoids. Avocados are a great source of lutein, a carotenoid that acts as an antioxidant and helps protect against eye diseases.

As you can see, this fruit is a very complete food for athletes . I usually use it in the evenings with a salad with low-fat cheese, lettuce and tomato. Is scrumptious.

Do you guys have the avocado in your diet?

Foods that cause greater satiety

We know that satiety is what allows end hunger and defines the time between feedings. Therefore, knowing the food they produce greater satiety may be helpful to control what we eat and so promote a diet without excess.

More than a decade, in order to award a number that valued the satiety that produce common foods, we conducted a study that determined the satiety index of 38 foods, those most common.

They asked individuals who consumed different foods and for 120 minutes after every 15 minutes was assessed satiety to invite to eat whatever they wanted in a number of foods and drinks.

In addition, all food is presented on the same basis, ensuring that not influence the presentation or ambient light and detail.

Thus, taking as reference the satiety producing bread, which is credited to an index of 100 and accordingly it is known that more satiety foods are produced :

• Boiled potatoes having a ratio of 323 satiety
• Fish that has an index of 225 satiety
• Oats oatmeal or possessing a satiety index of 209
• Oranges satiety index which is 202
• Apples that have a satiety index of 197 consumed with your skin
• Pastas having a satiety index of 188
• Beef lean satiety index which is 176
• Baked beans whose satiety index is 168
• Fresh grapes that have a satiety index of 162
• Whole wheat bread has a satiety index of 157
• Popcorn having a satiety index of 154
• Eggs which has an index of 150 satiety
• Cheese satiety index which is 146
• Lentils , which have an index of 133 satiety
• White rice which satiety index is 132

Foods that produce less satiety find the pastries and cakes and sweets or chocolates.

It was found that the content fibre, water and protein correlated positively with the level of satiety, while the fat content is inversely proportional thereto.

It is an interesting study that can give weapons to better control food intake if we choose those mostsatiety produced.

Why are some fruits cause swelling?

A user of our forum we stated that some fruits like watermelon or cantaloupe will cause swelling. Then we wondered why this happens in these plants. The primary response is the amount of sugar and water.

Dalis, a user of our forum has sent the following message to the thread why some fruits cause swelling? : 

"I would like contasen why certain fruits like watermelon or cantaloupe me cause swelling in the stomach. Thanks. "

Hello Dalis. Some fruits, indeed several of them, are able to generate swelling and gases in some cases, especially in the area of the intestines. This is due mainly to two reasons: the amount of water and the type of sugar that is in it.

fruits you mention, like watermelon or melon, are extremely hydrating and perfect for the summer season. But it is also true that their high water content (over 90 percent) helps to dilute the gastric juices, thus slowing the digestive process. To avoid this problem it is advisable to consume these fruits leaving a reasonable time after the meal .

But watermelons and cantaloupes are not the only fruits that generate this.Also others such as apples, pears, peaches or plums can contribute to bloating and gas due to its content of sorbitol , a sugar that is present in them. Anyway, if discomfort persists, you can try with some home remedies for gas or some natural remedies for swelling , because your body can be a little sensitive on this issue.

It is necessary to make adjustments to the exercise program for children, pregnant women, obese adults, elderly, disabled and survivors of heart attacks. The programs also need to be modified for high altitude and extreme heat or cold.

SMOKING

It is estimated that cigarette smoking causes over 400,000 deaths per year in the United States and is the largest preventable cause of premature death in this country. One in five deaths in the United States each year is the direct or indirect result of smoking.

Indirect exposure to smoking causes approximately 3,000 lung cancer deaths in adult nonsmokers in the United States each year. Studies have also linked secondhand smoke with heart disease snuff.

Serious illnesses most often caused by smoking are:

• Angina
• Chronic Bronchitis
• Emphysema
• Heart attack
• Leg pain as a result of blockages in the arteries of the lower extremities (claudication)
• Lung cancer (the risk for smokers is 10 times that of nonsmokers)
• Stroke (risk of smokers is almost three times that of non-smokers)

It is never too late to quit smoking. Two years after quitting, the risk of heart attack returns to average and the risk of lung cancer drops by about a third. After 10 years of not smoking, the risk of lung cancer returns to near normal.

ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION

Drinking alcohol gradually depresses brain function and formerly affected emotions, thought processes and judgment. With continued drinking, motor control is impaired, causing slurred speech, slower reactions and loss of balance. Both increased body fat as the drinking on an empty stomach accelerates the rate of alcohol intoxication.

DRUG USE AND ABUSE

Everyone reacts differently to medications. Always be sure to tell your doctor about any drugs you are taking, including nonprescription medicines and vitamins.

Interactions with medications can have serious health consequences. Adults should be particularly careful about interactions with multiple medications and should closely monitor this situation if appropriate. Bring a list of medications being taken at the time, especially when going to different doctors to treat different problems.

Avoid drinking alcohol while taking medications, because this combination can be very dangerous, especially tranquilizers and painkillers.

Expectant mothers should avoid taking any drugs not prescribed during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester when the fetus is very sensitive to drugs in the body of his mother. If the mother has been taking any drugs before pregnancy, you should inform your doctor.

Always take a drug in the form as prescribed : take any drug for purposes other than those of its own, or in a manner or in quantities other than directed, is considered drug abuse. Abuse and addiction are not just associated with illegal street drugs. Legal drugs such as laxatives, analgesics, nasal sprays, diet pills and cough medicines are also sometimes used improperly, causing serious health problems.

Addiction is defined as compulsive use of a substance despite continued negative consequences. Simply needing a drug (such as an analgesic or antidepressant) and take it the way it was prescribed is not addiction.

Symptoms and signs of addiction vary from person to person and the type of drug, but can include:

• Agitation
• Bloodshot eyes
• Dazed appearance
• Excessive sweating
• Skin redness
• Insomnia
• Persistent rhinorrhea
• Changes in personality

STRESS MANAGEMENT

Stress is normal. It can be a great motivator to get things done in small amounts can even improve health.However, excessive stress can cause symptoms such as insomnia, headaches, stomach problems, problems with mood and others.

It is important that the person learns to recognize the factors most likely to cause stress in your life. While it may not be avoided, the person may feel safer to know the source of your stress and it helps to have "more control" over the situation. The more control you feel you have over your life, the less damage caused by stress.

OBESITY

Obesity is a serious health concern that adds stress to the heart, bones and muscles and increases the risk of hypertension, stroke, varicose veins , breast cancer and gallbladder disease.

Overeating, an unhealthy diet and physical inactivity can lead to obesity. Family history also plays a role.

DIET

As a general rule, you should choose foods low in saturated and trans fats, like low cholesterol. Also, limit your intake of sugar, salt (sodium) and alcohol. We recommend eating more fiber , which can be found in fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grain products and nuts.

• Brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily.
