Plastic in the sea viewed as health hazard

When the industrial waste plastic ends up in the sea is transported to long distances by ocean currents which do not find borders to arrest this material which tends to crumble with time in microplasty, but the researchers found a current carrying billions of these tiny bits of plastic in the Arctic where the ice forms a barrier that stops running and local people who normally melt the ice to get water they found small pieces of plastic and this can have a serious impact on health. After reaching the Arctic eventually the microplasty sink in the depths, then it is expected that as the ice will merge to global warming this flow will go farther and farther and reaches even the most pristine areas; so to stop an uncontrollable process it is essential to act in the early stages preventing the plastic ends up in the sea.

Appropriate choice of eggs in stores

When buying eggs depending on how chickens are raised on the shell and on the package should be marked with the number 0 for organic, 1 for free range type, 2 for barn or deep litter, finally 3 for battery type with animals forced to live in small cages side by side and in general no longer appreciated by consumers; but according to a survey conducted in Germany often the healthy living condition of animals in many cases is not always respected and for example are used simply somewhat larger cages and platforms where the hens can stretch their wings to circumvent the legislation of the battery type. We must take into account among the eggs consumed, if purchase an industrial product, which often are used in processing those 3 of battery type and if choose to celebrate the Easter with colorful eggs make sure (even checking the price) that are of good quality.

Damaging heat waves on arabica coffee crops

Several studies have shown that heat waves caused by climate change could damage the crops and this time researchers have verified how sensitive are the seedlings of coffee arabica (the most valuable seafood from the balanced perfume and less caffeine) if it is to cope with high temperatures; in fact when exposed even for short periods of time to these heat waves are no longer able to produce flowers and therefore even the fruits, then it happens that these stressful periods for cultivation have drought impeding adequate growth. Shifting attention to other scenarios to report that the "xylella fastidiosa" is threatening the health of olive trees on the Mallorca Spanish island, but this time is hopes to be able to have anyway a good harvest by giving water to the plants and with targeted agricultural practices.

Farmers protest in India for drought

Tamil Nadu farmers protested for more than fifteen days at Jsntar Mantar trying also to draw attention to intensifying demonstrations with gestures a bit gruesome to obtain funds to cope with the drought which is damaging crops. The authorities had requested the allocation of funds for families affected, but some have reported that only a very small sum was paid and the protests continued in the capital Chennai (Madras) despite temperatures continue to rise. That drought-damaged crop is a global problem and can be connected to climate change that recently for example for some African States has became a serious emergency, then have to keep in mind that agriculture is often an important economic factor that can influence even on the economy of rich states like Australia where it is the first entry.

Improves a little the water quality in China

The Chinese authorities have stated that through the program promoted for the prevention and reduction of pollutants in the water set up since April 2015 drinking water quality monitored during the 2016 would be a little better, but still below people's expectations. For areas identified as most critical letters were sent to try to improve the situation, however more than seventy percent of the water of seven major rivers including the Yangtze (considered by some to be one of the most polluted rivers in the world) would be of relatively good quality. To be reported afterward that in 2016 the surface of the Lake Hongjiannao which is located in northern China near the Mongolia would have expanded by more than four percent after years they did record a continuous decline from thirty to sixty centimeters per year since 2006, with a halving of the surface since 1969.

Scarce food resources in Kenya for drought

The prolonged drought that hit the Rift Valley of Kenya since December allegedly killed thousands of cattle and left the population with little or no food source and dependent on aid from international organisations which cannot distribute food due to tribal clashes, with victims and violence that has forced thousands of people to leave their homes, among the pastors in conflict for control of water resources and pastures. Many farmers were forced to sell their animals at a much lower price than that of the market, others have found their animals dead as they tried to search the water and the country's authorities have declared for the serious drought as national disaster by distributing funds to the shepherds. Millions of people could die of starvation by drought which is damaging crops in many areas of Africa such as for example Ethiopia, Nigeria, and South Sudan.

Synthetic clothing and tires in the food chain

The pollution that occurs in the oceans by particles produced in normal daily life are much higher than what we might think; in fact when washing the synthetic fibre clothes micro plastic particles come off in the wash water and then to the sea where are ingested by fish and therefore end up in the food chain, then driving the tires producing fine powder of synthetic rubber that ends up in the environment and with a long journey comes to pollute the oceans. The production of clothes, which are also difficult to recycle, doubled from 2000 to 2014 with a tendency to frequently change clothing and to avoid wastage and reducing pollution according to some should choose natural fiber clothing and reuse (maybe with a new design) old clothes; then for the transport of goods and long journeys it is best to use the rail or waterways.

A water purifier for the Vietnam

To purify drinking water arsenic in densely populated areas, such as in the Red River delta in Vietnam that counts twenty million people, Australian researchers have developed a fairly economical filtration system with organic membrane contained in a tank with a purification cartridge designed to absorb arsenic that can be replaced after three to six months of use with waste material of local industries. Ingesting even small amounts of arsenic for long periods may worsen the quality of life and cause serious health problems such as gastrointestinal disorders, muscle weakness, nerve and intellectual issues up to tumors at the bladder, kidneys, lungs and skin. The maintenance of this simple filtration system can be carried out by staff of the place and the pumps can be operated easily with gravity, solar power or by hand.

Moderate consumption of alcohol not really healthy

In a study carried out in New Zealand on two thousand and nine hundred people with an average age of sixty-five, of whom drank alcohol daily the forty-five percent of men and fewer than twenty-five percent of women, was experiencing a better health in men and women who drank one to two glasses per day and considered moderate drinkers; but the study also highlighted a better socioeconomic status in these subjects and then removing the benefits due to this factor the healthy benefits pretty much are set at zero. Individuals who drink in moderation; moreover tend to have health-conscious lifestyles and then the healthy benefits are not derived from alcohol consumption but by a better health in general, then apparently "older" drinkers are more at risk than those "younger" and this should be an indicator to consider before drinking alcohol.

The Norway earmarks funds for Brazil forests

To counteract the deforestation have to increase the productivity of small farms; in fact agriculture is a major cause of deforestation in Brazil where two million three hundred thousand square kilometres of forest were cut between 2000 and 2012 since farmers prefer to expand farmland by cutting and burning trees instead of trying to increase the productivity of land already available. The funds allocated by Norway aim to protect for the 2020 five million hectares of forests and peatlands (equivalent to the size of Costa Rica) and this is the repetition of an initiative that had already been adopted in 2008. Changing the subject but staying on food issues to report the problem related to the use of plastic for food packaging, a disaster for the ecosystem and a threat to the food chain for cause of microplasty that ends in the sea.

Little sustainable globalized seed

Farmers around the world tend to use the same seeds that have become globalised as most of the products that support the whole agricultural sector (basically everything in the hands of few multinationals), but some stand out as this means have the same plants with different weather conditions and in geographical areas with features that would require greater biodiversity. Have a lower seed variety also means a threat to food security; in fact usually it happens that if a variety is hit by some pest is possible to have another variety that can withstand, but now farmers sow the same industrial seed also adopting similar globalized agriculture practices. With climate change will have more unstable weather conditions and therefore greater biodiversity means being able to cope better with the challenges linked to this new difficult condition for the planet.

Due to the cold wave of Siberian type that is still affecting the Italy peninsula, farmers complain about damage to crops especially in the southern regions not equipped with agricultural structures that can withstand a snow load, plumbing completely exposed to the freeze and impassable roads for the snow that made it impossible to supply milk from the cow. Is talk about any increase in the price of agricultural products, scarcity of supply, then the collection and quality of the oranges was partially affected by cold and wind chill whereas all plants may have suffered.

Absurd dynamite fishing in Tanzania

Despite being prohibited and dangerous the technique of fishing with dynamite apparently is still used in Tanzania in an area at south of the Dar Es Salaam port where fishermen cast over fifty bombs per day on the reef; then after the explosion that wipes out all life within five to ten metres radius cast them into the sea to catch the bigger dead fish lying on the seabed. This controversial procedure that threatens the ecosystem and the environment can be connected in Tanzania to the organised crime and allows to take in a moment over one hundred fish, a peach that signifies a substantial revenue. Dynamite is easily available for fishermen due to the widespread use of mines and besides damaging corals and the underwater habitat, forcing local residents to commit robberies to get food since after the use of the bombs does not catch more fish.

Increase methane emissions in agriculture

A gas such as the methane although it is less present in the atmosphere of carbon dioxide has the ability to retain heat twenty-eight times greater, then greatly amplifies the greenhouse effect and since have increased the emissions in agriculture the efforts to contain emissions and global warming are likely to be thwarted, at least from what arises from a French study which identified as cattle raising and cultivation of rice are among the main causes of this phenomenon; in fact cows expel large amounts of methane and soils with rice seedlings covered with water favour the presence of microbes that produce gas. With the objective of containing global warming within two degrees Celsius must therefore act quickly on farms, agriculture and in part also on the fossil fuels exploration, so as to limit methane emissions.

Alcohol can make fat like junk food

Some of the most popular alcoholic drinks have hidden calories comparable to a chocolate bar or a doughnuts, at least according to Australian researchers who advise caution in consuming these beverages if do not want to grease almost without realizing it and increase the cancer risk; for example a can of rum and cola, vodka and lemon, or other blended drinks provide to the body with an energy equivalent to approximately one thousand kilojoules, a ten percent more for each glass than normal recommended for a drink. If in one night is drink more glasses can easily run over four thousand kilojoules (one thousand calories) that is equivalent to the "junk food" energy intake with in practice many calories and few nutrients, or if every day is drink an alcoholic beverage in a year could fatten health and also injury significantly the health.

Typically is underestimates the impact of the all industry sector related to agriculture which represents one-fifth of global emissions because it is quite difficult to quantify, but are developing more accurate measurement and evaluation systems in order to obtain climate credits in in the market in exchange of reducing emissions, with a scheme that would have already allowed to many industries to earn in this particular market.

Better do not store tomatoes in the fridge

Cool tomatoes under a temperature of about twelve Celsius degrees means stopping the production of certain substances that characterize the typical taste, at least according to a study by American researchers that would have discovered that the cause of the loss of flavor is due to some specific genes; but if put them in the fridge only for one to three days should not lose the flavor. By eating tomatoes kept in the fridge at about four degrees for a week to a group of tasters has confirmed that weren't as good as fresh ones and does not improve the flavor try to keep them for three days at room temperature; so better put the tomatoes in a sheltered place and not in the fridge. The tomato seedlings (solanum lycopersicum), brought probably from Peru in the sixteenth century by the Spaniards were initially cultivated for botanical purposes and only later for food.

Food crisis in Malawi and South Africa

Over six million people would be waiting for food aid in Malawi due to a severe food crisis, aggravated in part by the effects on the climate of the so-called "El Nino" (a global current approaches generally to increase the overheating), with a prolonged drought that has forced the authorities to raise to the maximum degree of severity of the food crisis; moreover around the South Africa over eighteen million people seek immediate food aid and forty millions suffer from hunger. These are countries that don't even have the financial resources to sustain agricultural activities damaged by long periods of drought that have depleted the soil and take advantage of possible positive effects in the future of the "Nina" which should bring rainfall and lower temperatures. Needless to say that many people without livelihoods and means could decide to reach the Europe.

Agricultural crops affected by climate change

Plants to adapt to difficult conditions caused by drought or floods of unstable periods caused by climate change will react by producing greater amounts of toxins, then proceeding to agricultural crops various poisons tend to add up with the risk that the food consumed by humans and animals become unpalatable and even toxic since these poisons accumulate more and more. With the continued growth of global temperatures the situation will only get worse, and already there are areas such as in East Africa where is proceeded to burn the crops due to the spread of fungal infestations favored by flooding and damp. Nerve problems may in future arise as well as tumors and miscarriages due to accumulation of toxins and nitrates; moreover there would be evidence that exposure to aflatoxins, but also prussic acid can be lethal.

Some argue that the decision must be made based on epidemiological studies not on convenience, but also in this case there would be challenges and a clear position has not yet been submitted by the various parties who will have to decide on approval for additional fifteen years of this pesticide widely used on the market (known as "Roundup") so that often is possible to find the tracks if do the analysis on an individual.

It has been found that the level of estrogen circulating in the body that play a role in the formation of tumours being steroid hormones had decreased in animals that ate the pomace of blueberries and their fibers, but not it is said that the effect is similar in women since the animals generally respond differently to environmental stresses.

That the way we produce and consume food derived from ancient cultural traditions is proved from the fact that the Mediterranean diet has become a world heritage and is connected to a peasant civilization and religious way of life handed down from typical rural areas rather poor with short chains that cannot find points of agreement with industrial cultures and foods tested in the laboratory.

Due to the adverse weather conditions the Malawian authorities have declared a state of national disaster, as had happened previously for Zimbabwe, but the situation is difficult even in South Africa that is grappling with its worst drought for a century. Humanitarian organizations are providing assistance to almost three million people in Malawi, out of a total of just over sixteen million; moreover twenty-three districts out of twenty-eight in the country would suffer because of crop failures and floods that have ravaged the land last year, so much so that the price of one of the main sources of livelihood as maize is increased by a sixty percent compared to the three previous years. Regarding Ethiopia apparently three years in a row the rainy season has been inadequate, causing a severe drought that would have undermined the system of subsistence of the population based mainly on sheep farming.

It seems that there is no a risk of spread to other commercially important crops for this particular strain of Xylella probably conveyed by a meadow froghopper rather widespread in the affected areas.

Herbicide found in German beers

For the German tradition there is a rule in place for five centuries about the purity of beer that should contain only water, malt and hops; but apparently in fourteen popular brands were found residues of the herbicide glyphosate that is also known as "Roundup", have long been reported as a suspected carcinogen, which in one case reached the concentration of thirty micrograms per liter. The Federation of German farmers denied any responsibility claiming that it is prohibited the direct use of herbicide on the barley that then is turned into malt although he adds that the chemical may have been sprayed on the fields before sowing. As often happens in these cases arose an argument between those who report levels of herbicide in beer until three hundred times those allowed for drinking water and those who argue that there is no danger for the health.

Broccoli component useful against cancer

Administered to two groups of women, including one of control, affected by breast cancer respectively a dietary supplement sulforaphane from broccoli and a placebo, some American researchers have noticed in the first group a slowdown in the growth of cancer cells. The amount of sulforaphane administered, if eaten as food, is equivalent to that employed roughly with a full cup of broccoli a day and apparently is especially useful in the early stages of cancer, since this component of broccoli inhibits basic proteins like histones that can be connected to the correct genetic antitumor response against cancer. Typically an adequate intake of cruciferous (broccoli, cabbage..) and vegetables in the diet is considered to be very useful in preventing cancer diseases and to strengthen the body's immune system.

Eggs not responsible for cardiovascular disease

In balanced diets typically is allowed a maximum consumption of two to three eggs a week (including those found in desserts and other foods) because of the significant amount of cholesterol and then the risk for cardiovascular problems, but a new study claims that the eggs would not be associated with a high risk of coronary incidents and is possible eat an egg a day also for people who are genetically predisposed to metabolic disorders. The cholesterol argument has long become almost prickly; in fact it appears that this alcohol has become the symbol of unregulated diet, but since it is a normal constituent of cells and necessary component of the blood is obvious that it cannot be considered a poison; the important thing is to keep it under control maybe introducing fewer calories and increasing physical activity.

Evidence was obtained by analyzing questionnaires that monitored the feeding every four years starting from 1991 by checking through the various tests as ten grams more of fiber in adolescence decrease the risk of cancer of a thirteen percent.

If continue the current trend of anomalous plastic disposal in the sea it is estimated that by 2050 there could be more plastic wastes that fish in the oceans, since it will rise from the present condition (over one hundred and fifty million tons of plastics) in which every minute a plastic waste ends up in the sea to a progressive increase up to four per minute by 2050 if no drastic measures will be taken to try to recycle plastic and if will not find alternatives to fossil fuels to obtain plastic type materials. Actually already have long existed alternatives obtained also from organic waste that can be processed with relatively low temperatures or pressures and therefore also allow to save energy used in the production process, then with these biological materials do not constitute a danger, in fact the fish sometimes feed on waste plastics that end up in the food chain.

Beware the fish that eating the microplasty

Sunbeams and waves reduce the waste plastic not well disposed from the human activities that floats on the seas in microplasty that fish eat enter in the food chain, but apparently there are species of fish that eat more or, on the contrary, other species that from research does not seem to show any signs of plastic fragments in the stomach, at least according to a study carried out by German biologists who would have noticed as the mackerel have a tendency to eat the microplasty present on the surface of the North Sea and the Baltic. The motivation would be to locate in the dietary habits of the various species of fish; in fact, mackerel probably exchange the microplasty for prey, while other species that go in the sea floor don't eat. There is no evidence that there is a health risk and whether plastic is assimilated from fish and runs out into the bloodstream.

A subconscious desire in winter to eat

On the path of human evolution to become fat especially in the winter did not constitute a significant risk to the survival compared to the danger of being underweight and so there might be a subconscious desire to eat more in winter, at least according to a study carried out by British researchers that dissuade to start a weight loss program with the new year after the holidays (maybe to lose weight accumulated with cakes and drinks) because the need to maintain the supply of fat depends on whether a time food sources during this period were generally scarce. The study was carried out also on animals using a computer model that shows the presence of a threshold above which tend to lose weight and under of accumulating them, but exceed the optimum level has only small contraindications, then the unconscious control to avoid exceeding is weak.

Water purified from millions of good bacteria

What happens in the gut due to the positive action undertaken by bacteria that make up the microbiome and the bacterial flora helping to maintain healthy the organism and to counter the diseases could occur even in normal drinking water, at least according to Swedish researchers that using DNA sequencing and flow cytometry would have discovered in the water a kind of ecosystem that until now had remained unknown. In practice these bacteria and other microbes grow in water treatment plant and also in the water pipes forming a thin layer of sticky biofilm purifying the water, something like what happens in the gut when the foods are partly predigested. The research was carried out in southern Sweden, but bacteria and biofilms are present in plumbing and taps all around the world; moreover this finding could be useful for checking the composition and water quality.

Obesity risk for women and new generations

An annual report regarding the health focused particularly on women this time would have shown that obesity is such a danger that constitute a national priority even considering also the health condition in future for the new generations; moreover food industry continue to promote unhealthy foods and with high calorie intake, so it might be necessary to impose a sugar tax. If a woman is overweight during pregnancy raises the risk of defects and premature births, then could have consequences on the health of the child advancing with age and many women still think that pregnant have to eat for two instead of balance the alimentary regimen both before and after. To treat eating disorders therapist have devised a special psychological therapy as well as giving suggestions to women to improve also the wellbeing at work and overcome false beliefs.

Controversy over the use of a common pesticide

Would be an alarm about the safety of glyphosate or "Roundup" a pesticide widely used worldwide that already in the past had caused much discussion about its safety and that recently caused environmentalists to protest for the decision of European authorities to consent the use in larger doses although many claim that is carcinogenic and there are also epidemiological studies (disputed) that demonstrate how the people tend to get sick more when is sprayed this pesticide, then there would be a greater number of miscarriages and birth defects. If on one hand it calls for the banning of glyphosate and two large independent agencies do not agree that it is safe, from the other one wants to allow more use since there would be no reason to believe that it can cause cancer while next year it will also renegotiated the authorize.

Less natural foods and many pesticides

After the wine produced in some cases with rectified concentrated musts and aroma if not directly in the lab without even a grape, the added gluten flours and other concealers or made of chemical mixtures is now clear that the milk that does not come from a controlled production chain and especially in the case of that UHT long life can be made with powdered milk and various other protein powders with a low percentage of true milk. Due to a protest on the price of milk paid to farms emerged the problem of competition of these milk powders that are also used for many dairy products, (but who uses a yogurt maker with UHT milk will have already noticed from time of the issue). Another pressing problem are pesticides and herbicides with components regarded as carcinogenic and that can contaminate the aquifers with doses permitted from authorities always in more higher percentage.

Electricity and sunlight to purify the water

Unhealthy chemical components are often dissolved into water in very small quantities and are not visible, but very stable enough to resist the action of modern and sophisticated treatment plants; for this reason, a researcher of Barcelona would propose a various phased system that exploits the principle of hydrolysis to degrade for example molecules of organic, pesticide and medicines residues and then taken apart them by hydroxyl radicals, which are highly reactive molecules and short life cycle. The hydrolysis allow using electricity to obtain oxygen and hydrogen from the anode cathode, but in this case were used special materials to help purify water from chemical components that even if in small quantities during the long periods of time may damage the body. It seems that even the mere exposure to sunlight can have a purifying effect on the water.

Endless discussions about the red meat dangers

Following the announcement by international organizations to classify red meat as probably carcinogenic effect [without alarmism], given the global impact and therefore the importance for public health, began an heated discussion about the opportunity to completely prohibit the consumption or allow a limited consumption; but clearly as happen for example with the cigarettes not enough write about packages that seriously damages to the health to influence consumer behaviour. That red meat and processed meats are not healthy is knew for a long time; moreover they are not very environmentally friendly since to obtain a kilogram of beef with intensive farms requires two hundred square meters of land, an hundred times more of plant foods, without considering the entire production process that requires a lot of fossil fuels and consumption of drinking water.

Ruminant animals and control of greenhouse gases

One of the biggest sources of greenhouse gases comes from ruminant animals since the food fermented by microbes so-called methanogens that allow to the animals to derive energy from grass produces large amounts of methane gas and according to a study carried out in New Zealand, in an international collaboration with many institutions, it is possible to develop technologies that help to mitigate and to keep this problem under control. By analyzing the DNA and data on many ruminant animals has shown that only a few species are responsible for the majority of global methane emissions; then is possible simply adopt strategies to ruminants methanogens that can be applied everywhere to decrease the emissions. Australian researchers previously had added algae to the fodder making the grass more digestible for livestock as a result of the increased presence of cellulose and starch.

Genetics of the Inuit adapted to high fat foods

The extreme type climatic conditions typical of the Arctic area would have favoured a genetic mutation in the Inuit population, at least from the results of a genetic study carried out by researchers in Denmark that showed how this special genetic mutation affects the fat metabolism by helping to counteract adverse effects on the cardiovascular system of a diet high in fat from fish and marine mammals, by lowering levels of the so-called bad cholesterol or LDL and raising those of insulin and then with protective effects also against diabetes. This mutation that changes the profile of fatty acids in the body which occurred about twenty thousand years ago would have psychological implications in addition to reducing the height by two centimeters (also if the stature is influenced by many genes). Any doubt then for the usefulness of omega-3 fatty acids in the diet to maintain the health of Inuit population.

A road refrigerator for do not throw the food

Very good food in the industrial civilizations each day normally ends up in landfills and this waste habit senseless appeared horrible to two Spanish solidarity activists who thought to leave a normal fridge (properly marked) for the road so that anyone who wants to avoid throw in the garbage valid food and can easily make them available to those are in need. There are restaurants such as in Bilbao and San Sebastian are known for their gastronomy that throw away senselessly tasty dishes and this is contrary to the typical culture of the Basque region and there are also those who consider the food in religious sense. Initiatives of this kind are not new and there are organisations dealing with specifically to recover just expired foods edible yet or leftovers of businesses, but some argue that in some countries there are laws which oblige to throw the food.

Little chance of escape for the hungry in Syria

The chance to leave Syria and escape the ravages of the war apparently is reserved for people who can afford spending quite remarkable amount of money for travel by illegals that varies depending on the destination and often is scheduled using Internet and Smartphones (for routes there is a thriving market), but according to international organizations the most vulnerable in Syria living in large communities composed of tented camps have no chance of escape and suffer from hunger. One reason why many seek in every way to leave Syria is the lack of food; in fact the country is effectively blocked since by 2011 when the civil war broke out and no resources are readily available, then funds were reduced for those concerned with providing food and assistance to vulnerable people in Syria so that the majority of them can have only about fifty cents per day.

Eat tomatoes maybe among the causes of gout

Gout is an often hereditary disease that causes altered purine metabolism and consequent painful arthropathy due to uric acid deposition in the tissues, especially in the joints, with accentuated disorders by an excessive eating consumption of red meat (because of purines), seafood, beer or alcohol, sweet drinks and apparently also the tomatoes; at least from the results of a study carried out in New Zealand that would have been identified as twenty percent of sufferers of gout stated the tomatoes between foods that trigger painful crises. Further studies are needed to prove the relationship between consumption of tomatoes and gout, however it is preferable to use medicines to reduce uric acid levels rather than give up the positive effects for the organism resulting from dietary intake of tomatoes and its sauce over in these cases of vegetable, bread and pasta with little fat.

Food technology increasingly

For the future some argue that will be increasingly present biotechnology that if on the one side allow to correct nutritional deficiencies of certain foods for example with vitamin supplements and protein from another side put the questions about how the body can easily eat without long-term side effects or any allergies and intolerances. Chemistry is now able to simulate with sophisticated preparations many common foods and drinks, then when the taste does not suit the palate just add special flavors to convince most consumers, but in this way is lose all a typical food tradition that has specialized in centuries and often the result of small innovations in technical preparations. Already has in place a globalisation of the food that ends to flatten or varied scents or tastes and with the arrival of biotechnology is likely to worsen the situation.

Quality of wine and climate change

With the increase of the global average temperatures there could be variations in alcohol content since during the winemaking process a larger amount of sugar is converted into alcohol, then small taste changes always caused by climate change that tend to make the grapes more sugary and increasingly move North areas suitable for vine growing because of increased solar radiation, added up to a different alcohol content often mean a deterioration in the quality of wines considered valuable. Some consider also little positive the practice of adding to the wine aromas to correct the taste (without considering the adulterations now become very frequent), then for to combat pests and weeds between the rows of vines would be preferable to adopt organic and natural methods rather than genetic engineering.

Link between obesity and food available

A research carried out in New Zealand by analyzing data about sixty-nine countries concerning the relationship between body weight and food availability would show that supermarkets and grocery stores filled with food promoting in people an unconscious mechanism to eat more, that has been verified in fifty-six countries in the period from 1971 to 2010. Eat more to accumulate weight is not a choice that an individual takes freely, but is influenced by the surrounding environment with numerous stimuli for feeding food for suggesting appreciable taste that do become fat with consequent high costs on health systems, called then to treat a number of diseases that are a direct result of obesity. Some argue that should establish restrictions on unhealthy foods as well as to make more conscious people about the food.

Eat without thinking and then get fat

One of the most health-conscious adagios adopted regarding the nutrition is to focus on food, on flavors, on the origin of the ingredients that should be natural and immediately recognizable by their scent and for the more experienced try even to identify the fragrances, but several studies have shown that it is brought to feed almost in mechanical way and for example many Australians admit to having bad habits such as skipping breakfast and eating without thinking making frequent snacks with poor quality food, and then consequently get fat without noticing. These trends related to the increasingly fast pace of modern society have very little positive implications on the health of the organism; moreover apparently people are convinced by feeding properly even if they claim to eat few fruits and vegetables or often recur to the so-called fast food.

The authorities of the country in the past hardly spoke openly of some difficulty, but this time (with the worst drought in a century) there would be some veiled plea for help since the hunger of the people is a real problem and international organizations estimate that a third of children are malnourished in a country where the average income is at least ten times lower than the neighbouring country just South.

Appeals against dog meat festival in China

Thousands of dogs are slaughtered in China in the occasion of a festival dedicated to the tasting of these cute animals in Yulin, which is located in the South of the country in the Guangxi Province; so to try to stop this practice regarded as "barbaric" and lacking in vaccinations and health checks on the food were sent appeals to the authorities. It is a question not easy to evaluate which depends on mentality of the various populations that eat often pets in this case apparently there are also economic reasons since dog meat is cheaper than beef and pork, which like other animals cleaned by a certain amount of racism do not deserve to be ill-treated and slaughtered (but everyone is free to eat what appeals to you most). In China then apparently there aren't even laws concerning the protection of animal rights.

Mental abilities of chimpanzees on cooking food

Chimpanzees seem to prefer certain foods cooked enough to wait in an experiment carried out by presenting a particular raw food immediately the corresponding well cooked, at least according to American researchers who argue that these monkeys have mental abilities regard the cooking of food, but since than different from men do not interact easily in social groups are unable to organize themselves in the various food preparation, and fire control until the final cooktop. From this research it appears that perhaps men have begun to cook foods millions of years ago or at least much earlier than we should esteem in previous research (about five hundred thousand years ago), then some argue that cooking would have favored a more rapid mental evolution and imaginative skills as happened to those artistic, technological and language that characterize the humans.

Several the aftershocks and everything is pretty congested with people looking for food, and places where care take shelter, many people die for lack of proper care or need to borrow to face surgery, also alarm for children often exposed to cold and there are fears that the humanitarian situation may even worsen.

With regard to the dynamics of the tragedy at sea, it seems that the arrival of a Portuguese ship that tried to help [and probably knocking against the barge], many migrants have moved by swinging the overloaded barge which was overthrown.

Among the causes that have facilitated and encouraged the spread of bacteria some argue an unusually damp environment caused by continuous rainfall last summer in farming areas accustomed to a dry and warm climate.

Seeds suitable for coping with climate change

Being able to select seeds that adapt to new agricultural scenarios imposed by climate change has long been among the goals of researchers who must not only seek plants resistant and long-lived, but which produce crops with nutritional characteristics that can compensate for nutritional level depletion that occurs with increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Among the crops under observation for their importance for food, for example, can include those of rice and beans; in fact the humble legume is grown in developing countries in order to obtain an adequate protein intake (especially when combined with carbohydrates) and areas suitable for this cultivation would be reduced by a fifty percent since one must consider a series of impediments such as fungal infections and extreme events that damage the plants.

Wonder how countries with a strong Mediterranean tradition with typical products such as Spain and Portugal allow GM crops, without considering that it's hard to compete with other large manufacturers while is increasing the demand for quality products because of climate change, then this compels the neighboring country to prepare an anti-contamination area on the border.

The dangers to the body are derived from the process of conversion of alcohol to acetaldehyde and then to acetic acid; in fact sometimes this mechanism favored by an enzyme may not be completed correctly and acetaldehyde tends to accumulate.

The grasshoppers are also known as locusts from locus ustus which is burnt place in Latin, because as they pass devour crops and destroy everything, leaving the land as if had been burned by the fire, but that happens when it manifests in a species of grasshoppers gregarious instinct (due to the action of a particular pheromone) generally favored by the aridity of the soil which causes metabolic changes that take on a larger shape and dark that led some to identify these insects to a different species of grasshoppers.

Caloric information on bottles containing alcohol

On most food packaging there is a label with the calories provided to the body that missing entirely on various alcohol bottles in spite of the contribution in calories is not negligible and a large glass of wine can contain about two hundred kilocalories as a doughnut; moreover the population in general is not aware of how much alcohol consumption may affect weight gain, at least from what appears to an English study carried out in a country where a quarter of the adults are classified as obese, and then in the top positions in the world in this unhealthy ranking. It is estimated that ten percent of the total calories consumed can result from alcohol and trying to ask to the people in a pub the caloric content of alcohol drunk the calculation was widely underestimated, whereas a large beer are about one hundred and eighty calories.

Rice fields damaged by salt in Vietnam

Due to the rise in the level of the South China Sea the cultivation of rice in the Mekong Delta have been damaged by saline intrusion and the Vietnamese authorities have predicted that there could be a decline in the harvest of forty percent considering that the country is one of the three major world producers of rice with many families who live by the labor of the fields, and then with serious economic repercussions so much that many are converting agricultural production with aquaculture of shrimp. Climate change would be altering the fluid dynamics of the region with drier seasons in the early months of the year, then lower rainfall in winter and spring and then smaller parts and flow of water in the channels at the same time for this reason suffer major infiltration salt due to salt water with a situation that tends to get worse every year.

Low fat-carbohydrates diet with similar results

The main diets of various dietary developed for obese and overweight people to lose weight with greater efficiency than traditional methods would have similar results, at least from what appears to be a Canadian study that compared the results obtained from the data for over seven thousand and two hundred and eighty overweight individuals noting that after a year is the people who followed a diet with a lower intake of carbohydrates, and those in low-fat had lost about the same weight. The differences are minimal between these touted diets and this stems from the fact that all similarly cut the overall calorie intake so that patients can choose the one that best fits their lifestyle although the study did not take into account healthy values such as cholesterol levels that may vary according to the diet adopted.

Digestive system research for allergies treatment

To counter the onset of allergies that are increasingly common in the globe, some argue that research is needed on what is referred to as the "microbiome"; in fact for every cell in the human body there are ten related bacteria and according to an American study bacteria in the digestive system may help prevent allergies and for example would seem that the bacteria belonging to the Clostridium species block peanuts allergies in mice and then could replicate this effect with a medication in pill form to cure this allergy that in some individuals can also be dangerous. The allergen must reach the bloodstream and the presence of the bacterium Clostridium blocks this mechanism by which researchers seek an alternative medicine that mimics this action alongside a desensitization therapies to prevent damage to the microbiome of antibiotics.

Drought in California and waste of food product

While farmers in California are facing a drought record some point out how inefficient the system of distribution of the food product and as pallets of unsold fruits and vegetables are intended to make compost or sometimes even destroyed to support the market price, but this senseless practice has serious negative environmental effects since it is estimated that in 2010 almost a quarter of the emissions of a greenhouse gas that feeds the climate change such as methane came from the production of food remained unsold. Enterprising farmers propose to resolve the problem of using e-mail and social media that allow to reach many consumers with personalized messages in real time to distribute affordable food that does not meet the aesthetic standards imposed by the market and recover in this way at least the production costs.

Eating vegetables to reduce environmental footprint

To get a kilo of plant for useful food such as corn and potatoes are enough one to three square meters of land cultivated instead to get a kilo of beef about two hundred square meters, and then a hundred times more; then also other animals used in human nutrition have an environmental footprint unfavorable due to the slow biological process necessary to make them gain weight. It seems that even the dairy food from the point of view of their calories and protein impact on the environment, apart the beef, are much better (it's certainly not necessary to slaughter animals so that they continue to produce milk). The increasing world population and the continued growth in demand for meat on the market pose a challenge for the planet already difficult to solve and several studies in the past have shown that it is almost essential to return to a diet type mostly vegetarian.

Drought in six regions of Somalia

To avoid a repetition of the conditions of severe hardship for food shortages that occurred in 2011 the authorities have allocated funds to distribute food and water to the population of six drought-affected areas such as in Bakool where the price of an important food in Somali nutrition such as sorghum would have increased by hundred and forty-two percent in June compared to the last year and some report high levels of malnutrition. Among the causes that led to the rapid rise in food prices in different areas there could be clashes between different clans who try to steal the city from the government control.

The plastic maybe ends up in the ocean food chain

On the surface of the ocean floating about forty thousand tons of plastic, but this large amount is still very far from that expected on the basis of data dating back to 1970 that would calculate about one million tons of floating plastic and then just have to assume that the fish eat this plastic resulting from not properly disposed waste which then inevitably ends up in the food chain and in the dishes of fish consumers. These plastic particles become smaller and smaller due to solar radiation are found in all oceans and over three thousand samples analyzed in a study carried out in 2010 in the globe is estimated that float on about eighty-eight percent of the ocean surface, then are ingested by marine organisms, and this can cause intestinal blockages. Is necessary to produce plastics that are biodegradable and environmentally sustainable.

Special or natural crops against hidden hunger

With the continuous increase of the population in the globe will need to find more nutritious foods derived from crops very productive, often obtained through genetic modification, seeded with particular varieties rich in micronutrients that remedy the so-called hidden hunger and for example Indians researchers are experimenting special seed producing grain crops very rich in iron and zinc; but some advancing the doubt of what is the impact on the ground, since it is already happened that then the ground then appears depleted from these super crops which among other things require large amounts of water, fertilizers and pesticides. Individuals who eat foods deficient in micronutrients are bound to suffer from different diseases and the kids can have neurological problems that can be remedied with the classic natural crops that have been selected over thousands of years own for the nutritional qualities.

Ban on imports of a variety of Indian mangos

It happens more and more often to see beautiful display of exotic fruits in big supermarkets that are not part of the healthy Mediterranean food tradition (which also pose some questions on the nutritional characteristics than our fruit over pollution produced by long-distance transport) and now apparently there was an import ban in Europe for "Alphonso mangos" a high-quality coming from the west of India not because they are harmful to health, but for the insects found in the cargo ships that could threaten crops of tomatoes and salad. This measure would be required along with the ban on imports of other vegetables from India due to the increase monitored infested cargo ships. The main feature of these green and yellow peel mangos with orange flesh is buttery texture and a pleasant sweet taste.

A taste sense in the mouth for carbohydrates

Comparing the activation of certain brain areas in individuals who drank beverages with artificial sweetener with other containing sugar researchers have observed that the presence of carbohydrates would activate a special sense of taste in the mouth, at least according to the results of a study carried out in New Zealand using sequences of images of the brain showed a thirty percent increase in brain activity in the case of beverages with carbohydrates. As soon as the mouth feels the presence of natural sugars immediately prepares the body to convert food into energy even before it is actually metabolized, and this could give an explanation for that kind of feeling energy that athletes feel when they drink with carbohydrates. The study could be useful to experiment with drinks that stimulate the brain that feeling.

Wholefood useful against type two diabetes

Foods rich in fiber and therefore of indigestible carbohydrates as well as bioactive components such as flour and rye bread and sourdough fermented wholegrain may have synergistic characteristics not found if isolate the individual fibers, at least as shown in a Finnish study that would have highlighted the utility of taking these foods to reduce the risk of diabetes type two since it decreases the response of postprandial glucose and insulin in the blood. The comparison was done both in subjects with metabolic syndrome and in healthy subjects by comparing the effect of the assumption of bread made from white flour to whole wheat bread and observing that it is through the intestinal tract acting on microflora that the fiber complex integrals exercises its effect on glucose metabolism, producing short chain fatty acids and phenolic acid metabolites.

Reduction of nutrients and CO2 concentration

Using different varieties of cereals and legumes an international team with experiments carried out in Japan, Australia and America have found that increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere decreased levels of zinc, iron, protein, and since it is estimated that this can achieve a ten percent reduction in wheat and rice by 2050 may pose a serious threat to the health of billions of people, especially in developing countries, whereas even now many people suffer and die from lack of nutrients. Eating just a little more does not seem to be a solution to the problem because introducing a greater amount of calories are likely to gain weight with relative metabolic disorders; then for example should try to select rice varieties less sensitive to climate change and to CO2 concentrations.

The strange smell of the water had suspicious many people before was given the warning that there was any anomaly in the water supply so that then forced the population to buy expensive bottles in the supermarket, and even though the situation has now stabilized this story refer to the memory similar cases around the globe.

At intervals of several years was carried out to verify the improvements in lung function by putting the data in comparison with those who continued to use the previous rural type methods primarily. Be noted that previous studies indicated polluting for the environment for example homes cooking that were producing too much smoke.

Less sugar in the daily diet

A significant proportion of sugar is hidden in foods that do not normally considered sweet (for example the ketchup) and international organizations reported to decrease the consumption of sugar of a five per cent whereas the calculation of calories consumed each day, and then about twenty-five grams less daily for individuals with normal body mass index that, this also to avoid an excessive increase of weight and dental caries in both adults and children. The restriction is not only provided for all the monosaccharides, such as glucose and fructose, and disaccharides, such as sucrose and sugar from the table, but also for the natural sugars such as those present in honey, syrups, juices and fruit concentrates. In previous research it was noted that there was now a habit to very sugary foods and comparing the abuse of sugars to alcohol and tobacco with equally serious health consequences.

As for the nearly four thousand chemicals used in food packaging, the researchers warn of the potential danger to the human organism and the development of embryos.

Yoghurt useful in the type two diabetes prevention

An healthy food for a balanced diet such as yogurt may be useful in preventing diabetes type two, at least according to a study carried out by comparing data from more than four thousand people who showed in those who consumed about six hundred grams of yoghurt a week, the risk of twenty-eight percent lower for type two diabetes than those who do not consumed, and that perhaps because of the presence of vitamin K2 connected to lower insulin resistance and probiotic bacteria with anti-inflammatory properties, since diabetes can cause inflammation. Some complain that the yogurt contains saturated fat of animal origin, but the researchers note that not all saturated fats are bad for the health (and in any case it is preferable to choose a semi-skimmed yoghurt). Other studies in the past indicated the consumption of yogurt as useful to the microbiome and intestinal bacterial flora.

Excessive consumption of vodka in Russia

In Russia drink a few glasses of vodka in company is almost a cultural custom and considered to be "real men", but this results according to British researchers in an increase of thirty-five percent of the risk of death before fifty-five years of age in individuals who drink more of three bottles (of half liter) of vodka per week. On average it is estimated that in Russian adult drinks about twenty liters of vodka every year compared to three liters of spirits from other countries, so that the life expectancy is reduced considerably, perhaps also because in Russia some drink alcohol not for food use. The main cause of the toxicity of vodka, which is often distilled handcrafted in small villages without many controls and with a rather low price per bottle, has been identified in the recruitment of larger quantities of ethanol at least compared to other alcoholic beverages.

Climate change will cause unhealthy imbalances with spikes in temperatures favored by the greenhouse effect altering the temperature control system and the currents of the planet that act by mechanisms not yet well known, also for this reason for example the European Commission proposes to the governments a reduction of pollutant emissions of an eighty, ninety-five per cent by 2050.

The discovery of the art of winemaking has been claimed by several countries including Georgia who want the official recognition especially in view of the presence of settlements in western Asia near the Black Sea of ancient presses, vases, utensils, stone and ceramic containers for fermentation grapes as well as platforms for crushing with the feet (sixth century BC), but it is difficult to determine where and when these techniques are refined and for example was recently detected with advanced research that the wine industry of southern France probably used Etruscan practices. With regard to the first attempts at winemaking there are traces of Neolithic villages in Mesopotamia where small quantities of grape vines were taken from the wild, then in the Caspian cultivation of specimens obtained with hybridizations also from natural mutations have allowed to increase slowly production and quality of the alcoholic beverage.

Are studies that have yet to be validated, but given the kind of epidemic of diabetes with data doubled in the globe in the last twenty years and to avoid the increasingly widespread of metabolic syndrome resulting in lower life expectancy for the population would be advisable to avoid introducing with feeding too many fatty foods of animal origin and this consideration is important until the beginning of life.

Individuals under fifty-five years of age who drink four coffees a day seem to have a statistically significant percentage of greater risk of mortality from all causes (no change for people above this age), while another study, this time focused on elderly people would have shown that drinking two cups of hot chocolate a day could be useful for preventing degenerative neurological disease, at least as verified by testing with ultrasound on blood flow in the brains of a group of elders. Drink one or two and a maximum of three coffees a day falls within the limits of tolerability for the body also giving the opportunity to benefit from some salutary effect in the case of low doses, as regards the hot chocolate some argue that much depends on the quality of cocoa used and the method of preparation.

Food contamination for nourishment of wide use would be more widespread than we can imagine and if the common Norovirus can give some trouble we can not say the same about a colitis caused by enterobacteria such as Salmonella or other pathogens that are difficult to identify and will enough not well wash the vegetables such as lettuce and spinach to expose the body to risks which in some cases can also be serious. Individuals with weakened immune systems, the elderly, children and pregnant women should protect themselves in a particular way and in general it is advisable to wash the hands thoroughly for at least twenty seconds before handling food to be ingested as well as to clean surfaces and utensils, but instead seems to be not necessary to rinse poultry before well cooking, then with respect to the eggs just leave them in the fridge in their closed container and wash before the use.

Restaurant name only for food freshly prepared

The times for lunch are gradually reducing and seems to have been passed for example in France from about an hour and a half of forty years ago to the current thirty-eight minutes, but the biggest problem is that the food provided by the restaurants is often not prepared by hand at the moment but from pre industrial chains, so that made a proposal to reserve the name restaurant only on the premise that can service really fresh food prepared on the spot. This phenomenon unhealthy regarding an healthy diet (with respect to that of the Mediterranean type) interested history local and even those small traditional that now prefer to heat in the microwave ready meals. Not long ago, there was also a controversy on the proper use of the cruets on the tables which are often simply filled with oil of poor quality and dubious origin instead of being controlled virgin olive oil.

French wine in ancient of Italian origin

An analysis by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry the ancient amphorae in the southern coastal area of France in the archaeological site of Lattara (near the city of Lattes to the south of Montpellier), researchers have found traces of wine as well as residues of plants and resins pine that served as a preservative during the trip import of Etruscan amphorae from Italy in a period identified in 500 BC and lasted until the French do not have mastered the techniques of vine growing and wine making. In the site also found a press to squeeze the grapes and the juice pressed to convey the local industry of the wine and then spread throughout the world, but before the Etruscans note alcoholic drink made from grapes that had been prepared by the Phoenicians in turn probably had learned the technique from the Middle East while the Chinese also knew similar techniques but with the rice.

Low-carb diet not balanced

A weight loss regimen that plans to reduce the amount of carbohydrates to achieve good results in a short time could be harmful to health, at least from what appears from an Australian study which showed that by adopting this diet there is an increase in cholesterol so-called "bad" (LDL) considered responsible for problematic to the cardiovascular apparatus, and then even if these unhealthy levels tend to stabilize in the time it would not in practice even the advantages with regard to the weight loss, however with a negative impact on mood. Previous research already carried out on the various diets diet had pointed out that the benefits for the line of caloric restriction without adequate physical movement were rather limited and how it was necessary to maintain nutritional balance with a sixty percent of carbohydrates, twenty-five of fat and fifteen of protein.

Vitamins little effective for macular degeneration

Macular degeneration is a disease that causes progressive damage of the retina resulting in blurred vision and blind spots that can be dangerous for the guide and an American study have shown that taking vitamins C, E, zinc and beta-carotene does not slow down the progression of the disease; instead, it may be useful to take leafy vegetables with the nutrition thanks to the contribution of lutein and zeaxanthin, but just to have an extra protection. As far as beta-carotene seems to be responsible for an increased incidence of lung cancer in smokers (two percent in those who take these supplements compared to one percent for those who do not take them) and then should find other antioxidants in place such as a combination of lutein and zeaxanthin from fresh plant that can decrease up to a twenty-six percent of the progression of macular degeneration.

Supplements not very effective for prostate cancer

There would be no evidence from new tests carried out by comparing them with placebo that nutritional supplements such as selenium, vitamin D and antioxidants (isoflavones and phytoestrogens) have some effect against prostate cancer and can not replace a balanced diet, then if look at previous research can also check the lack of effectiveness of these supplements. Other studies have shown that it would be useful to test every man aged between forty-five forty-nine years of age to be able to predict almost half of the cases leading to death from prostate cancer, while in general it is estimated that a large screening allows a reduction of mortality by about the twenty percent. A hope for the treatment of prostate cancer, at least from the first test may come from genetic modification of the Newcastle chickens-killing virus, that is harmless for men.

Found horse meat in Dutch food processing

Continue the tests and DNA tests on a large scale to find horsemeat in work performed in Europe also to check for the presence of drugs used by veterinarians on the horses and the results of the investigations it appears that fifty thousand tons of Dutch meat processing contained horse meat labelled such as beef, but according to the authorities on food safety of the country there would be no danger to human health. Most of the food processing that date back to January 2011 has already been sold and consumed in part because of delays in the procedures for the identification of products that contained horse meat and it still tries to withdraw from the market the suspicious products. This affair has revealed how deficient is the lack of controls at the origin of the food chain and that the food fraud could be much larger than might imagine.

Foods advertised with prolonged effects on children

Many of the foods advertised on television for the children are not very healthy and often with high doses of fat, salt and sugar, moreover a British study showed that if a celebrity advertises the food, the effects are prolonged in children, so that as seems they eat the food in larger quantities even in the absence of the commercial message, as soon as they see the celebrities appear on the screen. The research is interesting even if it not took into account what are the favorite foods of children who might play a significant role on food choices after looking at the advertising, however, it was noted that children tend to eat more frequently only the packets with the food suggested by celebrities (very unhealthy also considering the child's growth and the weight), while the same food if is not advertised does not produce the same effect on their appetite.

The awareness of what is eat is a well-known healthy habit and according to researchers who have compared several studies concerned precisely the attention pays to the food when feeding should be recommended for weight loss programs as an alternative of the counting of the calories, but it often happens that behavioral therapies that teach to particularly focus on food while eating lose effectiveness over time once the individual returns to the careless diet to which they are accustomed.

Swedish cakes withdrawn from the market

Following the checks performed on foodstuffs found in eateries of a large Swedish furniture industry has proceeded to withdraw from the market by twenty-three countries and destroy a lot of cakes with almonds and chocolate contaminated with coliform bacteria, but the company says that had already been forced to admit the presence of suspected horse meat in beef and swine meatballs would not have been found pathogenic bacteria harmful to health such as Escherichia coli. The story has started in China, where the authorities have done a long time to destroy more than eighteen hundred kilograms of chocolate cake with almonds imported from Sweden, then the distribution company because the food also if not dangerous for the health did not meet the quality standards required has provided for the withdrawal from the market. The presence of coliform bacteria may be favored for example by poor hygiene or in certain cases from contaminated water.

DNA tests in Europe have identified and withdrawn from the market by sales outlets in Italy of horse meat meatballs provided in the eateries of a large group on furniture and the authorities are seeking the anti-inflammatory phenylbutazone on other suspicious items.

Discussions on the safety of horse meat

Following the discovery of a small percentage of horse meat instead of the beef in a large European industrial chains and brand distribution is on a discussion of the safety labelling of meat as companies seek above all to negotiate a low price on large quantities of provenance from several channels sometimes not very clear and traceable. Horses slaughtered instead of cows may come not only from Romania (the country in which in 2010 were found to have equine infectious anaemia) but also from Spain and other countries, in fact, the economic crisis may have prompted some farmers to get rid of their animals because of the maintenance costs. Consumers also want to be informed also about the type of horse meat used to produce food and know if it is of stallion or other "quality races" considered unattractive.

Balanced diet in pregnancy

Try to maintain a balanced weight gain during pregnancy seems to be useful to prevent obesity in the mother after pregnancy that any caesarean sections, in fact, a study conducted in New Zealand have shown that seventy-four percent of women who accumulated too much weight in pregnancy quadrupled the likelihood of having to perform a cesarean section due to the excessive size of the baby that is not conducive to a natural birth type. In many cases, women who accumulate too much weight during pregnancy are at risk for disorders such as gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia (nausea, abdominal pain, swelling..), then do not manage to get the normal weight and this can exacerbate the above forms of obesity. Be noted that there are also cases in which the mother during pregnancy remains underweight compared to the optimal values, but it is relatively small percentages.

Fried foods can be connected to prostate cancer

Analyzing the data from the questionnaires of two groups to be around fifteen hundred men, one of which is composed of individuals who had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and the other of control consists of healthy persons, American researchers have found that regular consumption of fried foods , such as potatoes, chicken, fish, doughnuts was associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer; moreover, would in many cases in which they occur the most aggressive forms of the disease. When the oil is heated to high temperatures are formed carcinogens such as acrylamide, heterocyclic amines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, aldehydes and acrolein which increase in the case of oil re-use which also lengthens the time of frying at which it is subjected and the hypothesis for these reasons is that a weekly consumption of fried foods can be harmful for the body and trigger a carcinogen reaction.

Food shortages in Nigeria and aid

In Nigeria the agricultural sector accounts for the seventy percent of the work force and following the floods repeatedly from July to September last year, farmers in addition to losing their harvest would suffer damage to agricultural machinery, forcing them to work the land with his bare arms, without considering that many have not been warned of the flood (whereas sometimes would take a simple SMS) have lost everything and do not even have the seeds to resume their activities. According to international organizations, the situation despite past several months is still quite difficult for the people living in the villages and fishermen since many of them are living in temporary shelters after losing their home. In other cases, for countries considered developing and now rapidly growing also as wealth some have pointed out that international aid has been rejected.

Half a liter of milk per day for children

Being able to determine which is the amount of milk that a child from two to five years of age may take is quite difficult because if usually a liter per day is considered a normal amount in some cases it presents the problem of a decrease in the presence of iron in the blood, then according to a Canadian study about half a liter per day can be a balanced amount to allow intake of vitamin D and calcium for bone growth and useful substances to encourage the development of the brain. This consideration has been obtained by observing the behavior of some children who were a bit anemic and therefore less brilliant in cognitive performance compared to their peers perhaps for low levels of iron in the blood due to excessive intake of milk, but many consider this amount necessary to proper bone development and for the development of the whole body in general.

Smaller size of aquatic animals due to overheating

Comparing the size of one hundred sixty-nine adult species both terrestrial, freshwater and marine English researchers found that would species that live in water become smaller in proportion to ten times greater than those terrestrial and this because of a smaller amount of oxygen in the water (against air) due to overheating climate especially in the case of small fish in comparison to large insects. These variations in size in aquatic species may have consequences for example on fishing and on that type of chain of food production through aquaculture, since each increase of one degree centigrade of temperature would correspond to a decrease in the size of the aquatic animals of a five percent. Previous studies pointed to as the fishermen gave no time for the fish to grow with fishing such as a type of technologic "extraction industry" in the sea.

A green tea component protects against Parkinson's

That green tea could play a role in preventing mental decline with its antioxidant action had already been the object of attention, and now researchers from Singapore have found a component in green tea can trigger a kind of cellular protection against the Parkinson disease; in fact, using fruit flies has been tested a component of green tea called EGCG to highlight the activation of a particular protein in the body called AMP kinase useful for the prevention, since it prevents the death of brain cells due to stress. There are medicines to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's, but by exploiting the potential of this component of green tea (present also in the red wine) is thought to develop a "neuro-protective" medicine which should be much more effective than simply sip a drink infusion of the leaves of processed tea.

Keep a daily diary of calories to lose weight

Among the various strategies to lose weight in a study of a group of obese women seem to keep a daily diary of calories consumed is the most effective method, since skipping some meals or eat out at least once a week would amount to less encouraging results and indeed it is better to be fairly regular feeding. Skip some meals regularly can slow your metabolism by changing the level of the hormone leptin and the body's response to the hormones stimulate from the thyroid, however, when eating away from home we have less control of the calories consumed and how meals were prepared or ingredients used. The technology provides useful instruments to count the calories even if is possible do this manually by writing a simple sheet of paper each day with weight and calories eaten and then to calculate the total.

In Africa there were strong contrasts in terms of food and it is estimated that there are six million malnourished children with predictions of a further deterioration in the future because of climate change affecting crops and at the same time an increase of obese individuals who live in so stressful eating fast food prepackaged or so-called "junk" food sold on the street. Malnourished children have learning difficulties and with regard to the adults few forces for the work, instead the obese were more likely to become ill with higher rates of absenteeism at work; for example in Kenya authorities denounce droughts and floods that threaten collected at the same time the necessity to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels in order to balance the carbon footprint because there would be strong contrasts in the use of resources and in social imbalance.

Few eat five servings of fruits and vegetables

From a British research results that few people actually introduce with the nutrition the classic five servings of fruits and vegetables a day recommended to prevent cancers and to keep fit by supplying healthy nutrients and fiber, which also allow to avoid to become obese for their generally low intake in calories. Five portions correspond to about four hundred grams of vegetables (a serving is about eighty grams as a medium apple or two spears of broccoli..) and then we should encourage people to eat fruits and vegetables, for example by starting with breakfast fail to reach the goal and try to overcome those kinds of behavioral and cultural "barriers", factors that prevent many people to adopt a healthier diet despite being aware of health benefits that would ensue.

Positive effects of curcumin of the curry for health

Besides having a positive effect against stroke and dementia curcumin, a component of the spice flavor curry powder (used also as a dye), could be useful in cases of bowel cancer by enhancing the effects of chemotherapy in the case are administered turmeric pills a week before start the treatment with several medicines rather invasive and if the disease is widespread in the body is sometimes difficult to reverse (just because of side effects in some patients limit their use). The hypothesis put forward by researchers in a study still in its early stages is that some chemical component found in the curcumin may play a role in improving the sensitivity of tumor cells to the chemotherapy, moreover taking advantage of this feature could be useful to develop new medicines formulation for the treatment of cancer with fewer side effects.

Carefully choosing a closely vegetarian diet

Many choose a vegetarian diet type without checking carefully whether it is well balanced in nutritional terms and in the case of vegans who eliminate all animal protein is difficult to effectively complete the diet compared to milk-eggs vegetarians or those who decides a more flexible type of nutrition, with the risk of having a reduction in bone density and of deficiencies in B12 vitamin (cyanocobalamin is present in small amounts only in some algae in the plant reign, while it is quite abundant in the yolk of the eggs in that animal). Life expectancy is improving in vegetarians, but not all types of tumors decrease or is possible to have cardiovascular problems and also have too low a cholesterol seems not be very healthy, so could be useful to carefully plan the nutritional intake in order to verify any type of eventual shortage of useful food.

Drinking water to improve the performance

Staying hydrated can be used to improve a little and with low-cost the intellectual performance, at least from what results from a survey of British students who were in a classroom for an exam with a water bottle in the bag, but the best results could result from psychological causes since the drinking water reduces the anxiety typical of stressful situations. It seems to be especially useful to younger students stay well hydrated even if this is true for all; in fact, had previously been shown that by administering to the cyclists a placebo drink (water with artificial sweeteners) instead of one with glucose and maltodextrin the athletic performance did not change probably due to a kind of stimulation favored by the nervous connection between mouth and brain that allows to feel less fatigue, and so facilitates this hard type of performance.

Hidden hunger due to lack of micronutrients

An individual in the world every three would suffer for non-supply of micronutrients and this chronic lack of vitamins and minerals is also called hidden hunger since only a careful examination of nutritional balance can detect trace elements such as missing a proper diet with consequences on health, physical and nervous performance. While the importance of the contribution in vitamins is generally known often fails to take microelements as selenium, iodine, chromium, copper, zinc.. essential for keeping the body fit and allow a good productivity in normal activities, but lacking or monotone nutrition typical of populations with limited resources (or which are looted) is difficult to integrate appropriately their diet, and especially women and children are likely to see worsen their health condition with a cyclic mechanism that makes it always weaker.

Exchange of bottles and selling of online medicines

Instead of sorbitol sweetener there would be the sodium nitrite which has a similar appearance in the bottles purchased on the Internet and not without consequences administered to perform the breath test to identify food intolerances, in fact, has been found a very high percentage of nitrite in the package suspected of having caused the dangerous intoxication and sales online have been suspended by a known specialist site. The bottles that do not contain sorbitol may have been made in Ireland and is trying to find some packages that have already been delivered, but not it seems that there are health concerns although many point out that the market for counterfeit medicines has greatly increased and now almost a pack of two may be non-genuine and the same type of sophistication happens with the provenance of ingredients used for food production.

Red meat associated with increased risk of death

From the results of a study carried out with questionnaires every four years on over thirty-seven thousand Americans individuals would be that the risk of death increases to a twenty percent if you eat red meat every day, especially a lot processed, for cause of chemical compounds that are carcinogenic and formed during the long cooking time and then also saturated fats, nitrates, sodium, heme iron. Among the causes of increased mortality, there would be chronic diseases, cardiovascular and cancer, so it would be enough to replace the protein from red meat with those from healthier foods to decrease the amount of risk. Some according to other studies argue (without any prejudice against the meat) that residues of hormones and medicines used in long-range farms in some countries end up leaving traces in the "final product" with a deleterious effect on long periods of time on human organism.

Many medicines contain animal ingredients

The gelatin used in many medicines seems to be derived from bone or skin of animals and this might offend the sensibilities of those who have chosen a vegetarian diet, although since the small amounts ingested may seem an exaggeration to complain about these animal ingredients, and for example a balanced and complete a milk-egg vegetarian diet who does not lead to nutritional deficiencies in the long period of time allows "open horizons" with no particular food shortages. The reasons why many people choose a vegetarian type diet is more varied and at times they are related to the treatment that is reserved for animals destined for slaughter, often forced to travel in small cages without minimally moving and then briskly processed on automated chains.. (this multimedia program allows the "carnivorous" choice and there is no prejudice against the meat consumers).

Radioactivity into the sea away from Fukushima

Samples containing radioactive cesium-137 were taken in the Pacific Ocean for more than six hundred kilometers from the nuclear plant of Fukushima Daiichi, but the levels of radioactivity would be quite low, non-hazardous to health and should not constitute any danger of contamination to the chain food even if the data collected would do well to note the difference compared to the condition that had before the Japanese nuclear disaster. Despite the radiocaesium is considered harmful because of the long half-life of radioactive charge (about thirty years), the researchers point out that the sea has a great capacity to dilute pollutants that are dispersed by the currents slowly with time. Not very clear, the situation regarding the safety of reactors with damaged Fukushima and some report that there have been increases in core temperature monitored - [28/02 a false alarm].

Price changes on plant foods for freezing

For storms and snowfalls there are few cases of speculation on plant foods with rising prices in some Italian regions and the new wave of freezing cold blasts of "Burian" could cause further hardship for farmers and ranchers with repercussions throughout the food chain, considering damage to crops and the difficulty to provide fodder and water to animals in factory farms. It's snowing already from a few hours on some areas of the country with houses, roads and highways capped and this will only worsen the situation for example in those centers already inundated with "meters" of snow with the danger of unsafe roof collapse especially farms and greenhouses, in addition, the power grid in these cases may be damaged and there are cases of people who have had to resort to a generator without considering all of those who make a simple food expenditure had to clear the way in the snow with shovels.

Sugar damaging as alcohol and tobacco

Excessive consumption of sugar is connected to serious problems for the organism as metabolic syndrome, diabetes and hypertension who also have a cost to health systems increasingly short of resources and some suggest to compare the sugar to alcohol and tobacco how toxicity, with taxes to discourage the consumption, while others would argue that saturated fats and low physical activity are the real cause of many diseases typical of modern societies. Obesity is a problem in many countries and the number of individuals who can not keep the weight under control would be considerably higher than that of individuals undernourished and also the mortality rate connectable to chronic diseases appears to be either superior to that of infectious diseases and the researchers note that on the evolutionary point of view natural sugar in fruit is available only at harvest and also the honey is defended by bees and can not easily take.

Dieting simply sleeping well

Individuals who sleep well have less sensation of hunger despite having the same levels of glucose in the blood of those who spend a night without sleep, at least according to the results of a small study conducted on twelve men of normal weight who were shown before the test images of more or less caloric foods and checking through brain scans that the right anterior cingulate cortex (and therefore the area responsible for the typical sense of appetite) was far more active than normal in individuals that stand without sleep. In researches done in the past had been revealed that in addition to allowing good sleep to feel a little not very hungry during the day would allow to strengthen the immune system in general, encouraging more physical activity in the body and therefore a greater caloric consumption intake without increasing too much the feeling of hunger.

Limit the use of antibiotics in livestock

Following the discovery of bacteria resistant to antibiotics in livestock meat sold in supermarkets (for example chickens), the German authorities seem willing to take a step already taken by the American authorities to restrict the use of antibiotics in livestock, then according to some end in the food chain making drug-resistant bacterial strains also harmful to humans. Many antibiotics have the characteristic of inhibiting growth of bacteria or eliminate pathogens without in most cases damaging the body, so are important in cases of infection and also at the level of prevention to avoid them, but now many antibiotics are not more effective for a mechanism of drug resistance caused by inappropriate or overuse so that their tracks are often highlighted in the analysis of samples taken from rivers, seas, air luggage and even in honey.

Gastroesophageal acid reflux irritating

The annoying symptoms of that kind of burning over the stomach that is called the gastroesophageal reflux are increasing around the globe, at least according to the results of a Norwegian study showed that in the country increased by thirty percent and considered the most serious cases would be increased by a twenty-four percent mainly due to obesity (and bad eating habits). The symptoms if neglected can lead to adenocarcinoma of the lower esophagus and few types of treatments are possible, so should prevent the damage to the digestive tract with a healthy lifestyle and losing weight, especially for obese women between sixty - sixty-nine years of age who are considered more likely to have severe symptoms. A diet of Mediterranean-type rich in fruit and vegetables is usually considered the best in these cases to improve the quality of life in patients suffering from gastroesophageal reflux.

Orangutans accumulate fat deposits

A feature found in the orangutans, which tend to accumulate fat deposits in adipose tissue by eating plenty of fruit in times of abundance may be useful to explain the mechanism of obesity in men, since the great apes (endangered), use these deposits in preparation for poor years about their diet that includes leaves and other plants that are not always available. Other primates do not seem to use this survival technique with reserves accumulated in the "belly", moreover the analysis of urine of orangutans was found as in periods of food shortage tend first to use the fat of adipose tissue and converting it into energy then the muscles in order to survive, a little as occurring in men under extreme conditions or functional disorders in which the body consumes its own muscle mass.

Considerations of taxes on fatty foods and aliments

The initiative taken in Denmark to put a tax on products containing more than 2.3 percent of saturated fat seems to have had little impact on the dietary habits of the population, and after interviewing consumer spending showed that the rise in the price of taxed products was modest and therefore has not deterred them from buying food, there were those who made the proposal to lower taxes on fruits, vegetables and other healthy products. The promoters of the initiative said that more time is necessary to assess the actual effectiveness of the measure and should evaluate a range of parameters including that purely economic one a long time so that the survey can be really trusted. Such type of considerations also raises the questions about the changes in Europe established "precise" labeling of food, since the habits of the population play a decisive role.

Sugar metabolism controlled by the brain

Using a medicine that stimulates a hypothalamus function and monitoring at the same time the secretion of hormones from the pancreas, the researchers were able to identify in the brain the main center of regulation of metabolism and production of sugars (in the liver), and this finding could be useful for developing new types of treatment for diabetes. For some time, science has identified neurotransmitters, peptide hormones and the mechanisms by which the hypothalamus tends to regulate the body's metabolism but not all studies agree and probably much remains to be discovered in order to understand the complex functioning of the "human machine". Generally the intake of certain foods can alter the appetite stimulating hormone production and also the accumulation of fat in adipose cuticle may depend on the type and amount of food ingested.

Drink coffee to prevent the skin cancer

The skin may be subject to dangerous melanomas and some of these cancers that increase slowly arise from particular basal cells, with serious health consequences if skin lesions are neglected, and a study would have found that individuals who drink more coffee seem less prone to these common forms of skin cancer. Women who drink more than three coffee every day would have a probability of a twenty percent less of basal cell carcinoma, while for men this kind of healthy protection would fall to a nine percent, but should not be decaffeinated coffee since prevention seems to be possible precisely for the caffeine effect. Other studies in the past have shown that drinking too many cups of coffee may have, depending on the individual organic response, significant effects (including seizures and arrhythmias) on the central nervous system.

Easy to understand foods labels

A simple system of food labeling that allows consumers to evaluate the nutritional characteristics of the product would be to study overseas from experts who have assessed that putting on the front of the pack important information for the health could help the choice of busy customer's, or that do not have time to read the back of various food commodities the list of ingredients, the calories and the type of fat used. It may happen that the label in face of the consumer show indications of diet type, such as "low fat" and then see from the back of the presence of ingredients of poor quality or a high sugar content (to compensate for the lack of taste to palate), thus confusing the customer that it should be able, to evaluate with few specific nutritional values of the product, to make a choice as healthy as possible.

Humanitarian organizations report that most of the starving population of Somalia have received food to cope with the famine that caused a severe shortage of food resources, particularly in the south areas, and would need more aid to feed everyone, especially in anticipation of the next agricultural crops that despite the rainfall forecast would not seem sufficient to ensure survival in terms of food in the country partly because of the prolonged drought that has made the land less fertile. Questions about damage to the crops and agricultural products coming from Asian countries also come to grips with several tornadoes and a "monsoon season" aggressive that flooded the fields with an unexpected amount of water in addition to causing many victims and ultimately also Mexico and Guatemala struck from a tropical storm with damage that have to be still quantified in their severity.

The cases reported in France could be linked to contamination of fenugreek seeds from Egypt, in a story a little confused that started from cucumbers, then move on to bean sprouts, other vegetables, hamburgers, water of secondary aqueducts, seed sprouts from England.. and caused forty-eight victims in Germany, one in the U.S. and one in Sweden (after traveling in Germany) and one in France seems not for cause of the same strain of E. coli found in Germany - [28/07 the outbreak would be over].

By simply passing the water through the sand covered with the common graphite seems is possible to purify the water in very cheap manner and making possible the use of water resources in developing countries already accustomed to using the sand to filter the water, but the important thing would be to use very fine grains of graphite covered with dust (practically the same obtained from draw pencils). This economic technique would have effect similar to that of normal carbon filters, then modifying the composition of graphite oxide for Australian researchers can "catch" specific pollutants; or is possible melt the graphite in the water first and add coarse sand to mix before bringing the mixture for about two hours at a temperature slightly higher of one hundred degrees centigrade and proceed to evaporate the water finally getting the product ready to purify water.

Two employees were observed infected from colibacillus indicted and that fact has made it possible to identify the likely source of food poisoning that causes severe Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome and may have complications that affect the renal function.

Found radioactive waste in Japan incinerators

Ash contaminated with highly radioactive substances over one hundred and seventy thousand becquerels per kilogram were found in an incineration plant east of Tokyo some time ago, and also in incinerators or other plants for water treatment residue may speak with radioactive cesium to one hundred and forty thousand Bq/kg. The news about the various contaminants have been reported only recently and apparently the ashes of the incineration plants as well as generally end up in the atmosphere is recycled for use in construction materials and this raises some questions in terms of safety and health because there could be a fallout on the food. Radionuclides of cesium for example are very mobile and have a decay time of about thirty years and can contaminate the food chain without proper food inspections.

Primitive man probably vegetarians

Pulverizing the enamel of teeth with a drill from specimens found in 1959 in Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania and belonging to Paranthropus boisei, considered predecessors of the men (1.2 - 2.3 million years ago), researchers have found with the analysis of isotopes of carbon that the nutrition came only from tropical herbs and not leaves, fruits and nuts that using a different type of photosynthesis. These primitive men were grazing along with zebras, wild pigs and hippos for example in Kenya and probably had to compete with them for food and the molars had a triple size to that of modern man. The dates previously identified in the primitive hominids range from 3 to 2.4 million years ago for the Australopithecus africanus and 2 - 1.5 for Paranthropus robustus, and in many cases had already been noted that the type of nutrition was almost exclusively vegetarian.

Controls on food in Japan

Some control tests on maternal milk have found traces of radioactive iodine in four cases close to Tokyo and then the authorities have decided to carry out further analysis on the food though it seems there aren't particular problems for the health of the population and also the strong earthquakes that shake Japan (the last of magnitude 6.1 in Chiba prefecture) did not cause damages. The radiations that emanates from the damaged nuclear power plant with variable levels of intensity, since the atomic plant would not be stable, forcing them to constant interruptions of operations provided to restore the cooling of reactors, in addition, also approximately sixty families who still live in the evacuation area must leave their homes, but the less favorable position in terms of radiations would be for some opinions into the sea in front of the plant.

Slow improvement of the situation in Japan

Continuing aftershocks in Japan's own in the area of the damaged nuclear power plant, but without causing further damage or suspension of assistance from the technicians, in addition, the authorities have indicated that the nuclear radiation released by the plant are slowly decreasing and that the incident at least regarding the level of radiation and their total amount would be less severe than Chernobyl. The decision to classify the incident as "nuclear disaster" would be derived from the fact that radiation has been dispersed widely over time in the ocean, air, plants and drinking water, but the biggest concern derive for the possible contamination of the food chain whereas some elements have a decay time of their appointment unhealthy even of decades and also the so-called radioactive "scrap" remain long in the environment.

Closed a leak of a Japanese nuclear reactor

The technicians who work to secure a nuclear Japan would be able to first slow and then halt completely the emission of highly radioactive water from a vessel containing a reactor, injecting a vitrified solution and hardening of chemicals type into the leak of about twenty centimeters, also are going to verify that there are no other losses. Several countries have introduced controls on food imported from Japan in some cases by changing the permissible limits of radiation, while the fish contaminated with radioactive cesium beyond the legal limits had been caught in a sea area south of the nuclear damage plant and the fishermen have reported the collapse of the price of the catch fish by more than sixty percent. The India would be the first country to have established a three-month ban on imports of certain food from all over Japan.

Some difficulties in the sale of fish in Japan

The Japanese fishermen who operate near the nuclear out of control plant still complain of lost sales of the fish lost in this way the means of subsistence necessary for the reconstruction of their houses after the tsunami that claimed more than eleven thousand deaths and untold damage, whereas that tourism, catering and export of goods are rather disadvantaged. Robots designed to operate in situations of environmental contamination should try to make the sale of the reactors (but temperatures within their structures are still high) before the construction of a sarcophagus to contain the radiation that in the ocean close enough to the atomic plant would be more of four thousand times above normal. Analysis of the fish caught outside the prohibition area would not have revealed traces of radioactive potentially dangerous to the health.

More potassium in the diet to prevent heart attacks

A diet low in sodium and rich in potassium is generally recommended to maintain in good health the cardiovascular apparatus and a new study shows how to introduce foods in the diet rich in potassium can be helpful in reducing the risk of stroke by more than twenty percent probably due to a positive effect on blood pressure is decreasing and property to counter atherosclerosis, and then a gradual thickening of artery walls. The human body has a daily requirement of two or three grams of potassium, which is contained in abundance in foods and is very unlikely that there will be a shortage of this mineral (except in case of illness or the use of certain classes of medicines such as the diuretics), but for a good prevention and especially in sports is helpful not to leave in a balanced diet foods rich in potassium (eg. lentils, bananas, potatoes..)

Fatty liver may predict type two diabetes

In the event that the liver has an abnormal quantity of lipid components this unhealthy condition usually is defined as "fatty liver" or steatosis, and a study would have shown that diagnosis by ultrasound may be predictive of metabolic disease that is becoming quite common as type two diabetes (regardless of insulin concentration). The results of this research would not only steatosis but also as an indicator of obesity as a risk factor for type two diabetes, whereas there are other parameters altered in these cases as triglycerides, blood sugar, low levels of so-called good cholesterol or HDL and therefore metabolic syndrome. A balanced diet and adequate bodily exercise without overdoing with alcohol can usually avoid the accumulation of fat in the liver also if may intervene external factors such as chemicals pollution.

The soda is a type of sparkling water used to supplement and dilute the drinks of soft drink that can get by adding sodium bicarbonate and tartaric acid to the water, and a study has shown that individuals who drink it frequently would increase the risk of heart attack, apparently by more than sixty percent in those who drank every day "diet soda". The research was carried out in nine years on a large group of people who had to complete a questionnaire on dietary habits and the individuals who did not drink soda was found to have less vascular events in the media. For some time several studies pointed to as the habit of frequent drinking several drinks those with alcohol particularly was unhealthy for both the physical form, both for health, and how young people were often the victims of these kind of mode of socialization involving in some cases the abuse of these unhealthy drinks.

Less salt in food against the high blood pressure

The excessive intake of salt in the nutrition can increase the blood pressure and also facilitate serious problems to the cardiovascular apparatus, then an American Department of Health proposes to appropriate cut the total amount of sodium used to about half a teaspoon per day also for avoid complications in individuals who suffer from kidney disease and diabetes. Most of the salt ingested would result from the products of large distribution, so should read labels and choose foods low in sodium chloride and then tell to the cook to use little salt (preferably completely remove it and replace with spices). The goal is not easily accessible to cause of the habit of the population, favored by some large-scale food producers, to eat very tasty food that does not even allow to appreciate the real taste of food ingredients.

Sustainable food and prolonged drought

It is estimated that world population will reach in about twenty years a number of more than eight billion people and this will require an increasing amount of energy, water and food, but according to results of a study of English will have to make sure that the production of this food is also more environmentally sustainable by seeking to restrict intensive production and the needless waste of food. This type of changes to production models for researchers is a real need to avoid entering into a point that will add up the various negative factors such as concomitant population growth, increased demand for food and climate change that could damage crops. Already, there are various areas of the world affected by weather phenomena characterized by long periods of drought such as Mexico, Israel - Palestine, and especially the China, in the Shandong where sometimes lacking even the water to drink.

Food chain and environmental chemistry

All living organisms constantly reusing the substances in the environment for their own metabolism and then the atoms of a biological community of plants and animals that live together are continually recycled in a food chain that is kept in balance through a series of chemical reactions that agree that healthy exchange. Modern chemistry has been able to identify many of these steps so that some foods can be directly synthesized in the laboratory and there are initiatives to make production processes more "green" (environmentally friendly) and 2011 has been proclaimed international year of chemistry. At the root of almost all food chains, there are the plants, in fact, animals can not utilize the nutrients present in inorganic compounds to be converted into organic compounds by bacteria and plants, for example through photosynthesis.

Rising of food prices and also of fuel

The prices of first necessity food are globally very high and in international organizations has been reduced also the funds for helping poor people, in addition, the recent floods in Australia (still affected by the meteorological phenomenon of unusual flow) may cause a further rise in prices of certain foods. Climate change is taking place on the planet are causing crop damage and the most striking cases in Russia were due to fires that have affected the wheat fields last summer and monsoon floods kind in Pakistan which have flooded the land cultivated for long periods of time. As for the price of fuel that can affect the food should be noted that at least in Italy it seems that the "overall pump" cost has remained very high despite the average price per barrel of oil has declined slightly.

Circadian rhythms regulate the metabolism of fats

The physiological and biological functions of an individual can be influenced by circadian rhythms that mark as clocks or synchronized units the various functions of a subject, and a research would have shown that fat metabolism during the twenty-four hours of the day is regulated by this species of internal body clock. This mechanism is favored according to researchers from the activation in regular rhythms of a particular protein, and then taking advantage of this feature is expected to make drugs against diabetes, obesity and other metabolic diseases. Circadian rhythms can also be responsible for some health-related illnesses such as insomnia, depression, then should consider that a "mismatch" of the rhythms can cause a kind of widespread unease (and considering long periods of time this can be very unhealthy).

Start the day with a full breakfast is usually a good way to keep in balance the overall energy budget of the other meals, and a study would have shown that eating cereal with low sugar content would stimulate children to add more pieces of fruit in comparison of a control group that provided for breakfast very sugary cereals. In the comparison was provided the possibility to add sugar to the cereals and again the overall balance of sugar taken was favorable for the group with low-sugar cereals. Other studies evidenced that food-type "diet" with too much fructose (also including cereals and beverages) could promote diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and kidney disease; in addition there may also be a link between excessive intake of fructose and the so-called metabolic syndrome.

According to a new study a diet too rich in sugar is as harmful to the body as a too rich in fat, so individuals who are planning to buy healthy foods low in fat should also check also the actual presence of sugars ( which usually abound to flavor a product low in fat and try to "balance the taste"), without considering that a lot of food purchased in excess ends up in a globally unbalanced in landfill.

A precedent German study had earlier revealed the same lack of effect of extracts of Omega-3 in patients with heart attacks (which alternate with contradictory studies on this topic), but for example in the case of a diet rich in Mediterranean oily fish and especially fat Omega-6 derived from plants and an appropriate dose of dried fruit would seem that there is some advantage both for pregnant women and for the entire cardiovascular system in general.

The adipocytes are spherical or polyhedral cells that can grow notably in dimension depending on the lipid droplets that are able to "store" and beyond a supply of calories they stimulate the production of hormones and other chemicals that can also have rather negative effects on the cardiovascular apparatus.

One of the remaining challenges in the large distribution of LED bulbs is the cost about five times that of fluorescent, but we must consider that consume much less and researchers are studying new electronic components to bring down costs. As regard for water purification from toxic mercury is made usually with the precipitation and oxidation.

Individuals who drink much water before meals appears to have other healthy habits like eating more abundant servings of fruits and vegetables as well as avoiding too many sugary drinks which contribute to the caloric intake in addition, it is a "dietetic trick" simple and relatively for the moment to low price.

The authorities said that a good proportion of the oil that has spilled for more than three months from the seabed broken pipeline has been recovered or evaporated, but some residual estimated in approximately twenty-five percent would continue to create problems for at least two years (considering that hydrocarbons are mutagens and could cause cancer), even with inconvenience to bathers and the tourism.

Asthma is an obstruction of the airways caused by a muscle contraction with bronchial mucus-secreting that decreases the size and a research has shown that children who take a Mediterranean-type diet are less susceptible to respiratory problems due to asthma than those who eat three or more hamburgers a week, although there may be other risk factors linked to other little salutary habits. In less rich countries, asthma seems more protective against the Mediterranean diet, but in the richest would also be decisive the factor in eating more fish (always part of a balanced diet and adequate exercise). For other studies are greatly increased the cases of allergies or allergic asthma and some individuals are also genetically predisposed to various kinds of disturbances just inhale the allergens.

The case related to this type of effect has not yet been clarified, but seems due to the action of specific sterols, however, the nuts should be natural and not containing added sugar and salt that diminish the positive effect, then who are overweight should also take into account the calories that develop eating walnuts, almonds, and then possibly do salutary physical activity for "consume" the excess of calories accumulated.

Another hidden danger in chocolate or sweets of poor quality fats are stable and long-chain hydrogenated and vegetable tropical oils that have a flavor and just give the food taste very "soft and round" to the palate, but are damaging to the cardiovascular system and not even make enough to dispose of intense physical activity, they tend to accumulate steadily around the blood vessel wall with time also limiting its flux.

To remember that the alcohol has also a certain caloric power to quantify in approximately seven kcal to the gram, and as an example a liter of wine to ten degrees develops approximately six hundred calories, therefore for an obese person it is obvious that it would have to avoid of drink alcoholic from the moment that within in an alimentary balanced regime in order to succeed to lose weight is difficult to make to re-enter also a normal dose of alcohol.

To be in overweight can favor the risk of the rising of an annoying disease of the reciprocation as the diabetes type two and more and more individuals seems develops a kind not corrected tolerance to the glucose with the consequence that given insulin does not have more the effectiveness that it normally exercises in a healthy organism. In order to avoid problematic to the cardiovascular apparatus has been stated in a study that is more useful to make appropriate physical exercise following a regime to feed that it concurs to avoid the obesity rather than to take several medicines, from the moment that in this case in the comparison with placebo has not been found a substantial difference in the therapy. To notice that will enough to become little thin in order to achieve meaningful healthy benefits and to avoid a condition of "pre-diabetes", even if other researches advise to try to maintain a weight to begin from young.

Infarcts caused from too many fats in cakies

A type of feeding with remarkable contribution of fat can cause infarcts and others problematic to the cardiovascular system, in particular seem for the women over the fifty years of age that they adore cookies and other attractive products of pastry shop for the abundance of fats (often saturates to long irregular chain) that they give a soft and round taste to the palate, but increases in important percentage the risk to have a cardiac infarct, even if would have to hold in consideration the others factors of risk like the weight, the excess of alcohol, the smoke, the lack of physical exercise. It can be also made in theory a relation between turn of the belly (and therefore excess of weight) with the increase of cardiac risk or ictus because of cloggings for accumulate of fat substances in the wall of blood vessel that carry oxygen and nutriment to the brain, without to adopt adapted alimentary regimes and measures of prevention.

Stew cat unhealthy pot

Leaving aside the provocations that are part of a strategy to attract some attention in Italy to arguments sometimes grotesque, from the nutritional point of view and treated by a certain amount of racism in the stew cat is not a plate very different from other similar courses of meat considering for example that in some countries eat dogs or other pets.. just a question of mentality; but it is always rather unhealthy food because the tissues are rich in uric acid, toxins and other chemicals of refusal that the metabolism (of the poor animal killed roughly) in most cases it makes not could expel. As regards the type of maturation of meat to help the enzymatic processes that make them more tender, leave the meat for days to "rot" in some environments may promote the formation and proliferation of unhealthy bacteria.

Prevention and diet against cancer

A very large percentage of cancers could be prevented by adopting healthier styles of life and try to protect against infections that can facilitate serious diseases, in addition, prevention is possible even against that kind of fatalism that many individuals exposed to even greater risk without groped any type of treatment, as it is for patients who fail to adopt a balanced diet or to quit smoke. A truly healthy lifestyle which includes diet, exercise, meditation, adequate rest helps to prevent many diseases and better tolerate the stress and pollution that in modern societies can "reset" the immune system. Some studies also tend to re-evaluate the potato as a food useful in preventing cancer due to the presence of pectin, and other molecules useful for a variegate diet rich in particular of vegetables.

By identifying the principle that acts chemically active in the prevention of type 2 diabetes, the researchers plan to develop a useful therapy for many individuals who do not synthesize enough insulin or can not make the hormone regulator act in the best way (usually after forty years of age). Other studies have shown that may be useful in preventing just a long walk every day.

Caffeine is an alkaloid intellectual stimulant, seems useful even in cases of Alzheimer's disease and dementia, but such is not the case that pregnant women drink many coffee or even for people who suffer from high blood pressure, without considering that some individuals are very sensitive than to suffer from headaches and insomnia could accuse mild heart problems especially if you drink other beverages with alkaloids (tea, "soft" drinks..).

A large study conducted in Spain both on men and women divided into several categories depending on the amount of alcohol introduced every day would have shown that men who drink with particular moderation reduced by approximately thirty-five percent the cardiac risk, but the same data is not was also found in women probably for cause of a different metabolism of the alcohol, and also was noted as exaggeration drinkers or without regard for drinking glasses risks damaging the heart beyond than the liver and the brain. It is generally advisable not to start drinking at least for women and young individuals except where have encountered a certain degree of cardiac risk, and in these cases a controlled and moderate consumption of alcohol each day may play a protective function (not tested from all studies) remembering to take two days off per week.

Malnutrition weakens children in the world

Good nutrition in addition to promoting normal development in the growth of children can also make the energy needed for daily activities, but in developing countries, lack of food weakens their bodies, and many young people at risk of becoming ill with increasing of the overall costs. International organizations complain that one third of children under five in poor countries die of hunger and agriculture is not sufficiently funded partly because of wasteful that divert the resources in other sectors with the result that many young people grow up malnourished and as a weakened immunity. To try to prevent mental deficiency in children suffice introduce into the nutrition simple iodized salt, but also should reduce the waste of food in developed countries or point to a better redistribution of food resources on the planet.

Food resources in the world are exploited with little balance and while in some areas of the globe much food ends up in the waste in other is hard to put together "the lunch with the dinner," but not always an abundance of food is equivalent to a proper nutritional intake and obesity in industrialized countries pose many challenges for management, without considering the impact on the environment to provide the necessary resources that are sometimes withheld from those who are starving to cause of climate change that also depleting crops. As regards the industrial fisheries, it would be necessary to promote initiatives for a sustainable exploitation of the sea possibly using protected areas as fish consumption between 1970 and 2000 is doubled, then it seems that there is also the obstacle linked to the acidification of oceans due to increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the air.

The health benefits associated with a moderate consumption of quality wine preferably red or dark beer is enough documented by many studies, for example, appears to increase the percentage of the so-called good HDL cholesterol while reducing the amount of sugar in the blood and in this way also the risks to the cardiovascular system in women, but it is not the case for those not accustomed to consumption of controlled selection begins drinking alcohol, since many of the substances with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect can also easily found in some fruits or vegetables. Drinking with moderation about one glass of wine or of beer every day may reduce the risk of dementia and osteoporosis and may also have a protective role for certain types of cancer (esophagus and lymphoma) but not in the case of individuals particularly "genetically sensitive" to certain types of cancer.

For a good prevention from the breast cancer appears to be useful to adopt a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, fiber and a few sugary foods, refined and meat, but the positive effect is seen more in lean women than in that overweight and for a particular type of cancer "sensitive to estrogens" hitting aggressively. One study also found that young African-American women who take care of the diet carefully would be less susceptible to breast cancer and even women in the postmenopausal period would seem more protect.. in some cases the causes of these beneficial effects are not well understood. Other researches recommended for the prevention of breast cancer and other tumors a dietary with lower intake of calories (even thirty percent compared with a normal type, but that is balanced), and greater physical activity.

Increased production of food in the world

According to international organizations, it is assumed that the world population is expected to increase from 6.8 billion people to about 9.1 by 2050 with the result that the demand for food could grow some seventy per cent in future, but to achieve this objective is necessary to make some pretty significant changes to methods of production and agriculture that can hardly be achieved usually with the current development system. It is estimated that in addition to optimize production of crops need more land for crops effectively exploited (including for biofuels) and water to irrigate these fields ploughed, but with careful management of resources the planet should be able to feed everyone. Other researches include the need to try to stem the phenomenon of impoverishment and desertification of land in some areas on the globe.

Anti methane nourishment for livestock

The cattle seem to be responsible for more than twenty percent of emissions of greenhouse gases due to a diet based on a type of forage, which tends to deteriorate with the time and in winter thus increasing emissions of pollutants methane. A study in Australia showed that, for example by adding to feed the algae is possible due to the increased presence of cellulose and starch to make the grass more digestible for livestock, besides the algae could be used to purify water for crops from nitrogen and phosphorous, which seems to have a role in climate change and decay in the aquatic ecosystem. Other researches carried in the past show how heavy was the impact on the environment of the livestock industry, causing a sharp decline of natural resources and biodiversity of a healthy for the environment.

World hunger related to climate and water resources

The world population is growing at rates higher than yields on fields particularly in developing countries can produce and it is estimated that in the coming decades, this relationship could be particularly unfavorable in part for cause of the climate changes which make the land less productive, and in part for cause of scarce water resources and parasites more aggressive, favored by drought in some areas that aggravates the situation and makes it more difficult all the farming practices. Maintain the biodiversity and protect the environment appears to be useful to a healthy balance between growth and human food production, but for example there is the problem related to the use of pesticides and all chemicals and technology used in the modern agriculture, whereas the population of certain species of animals and insects (essential for crops such as bees) in particular areas seems to be declining.

The birds also seem able to assess both the size is to count the number of stones required to achieve the goal, improving in successive experiments the details of the test.

Alcohol and prevention of dementia

Individuals who suffer from mild cognitive problems appear to prevent the onset of dementia by drinking a daily glass of wine (preferably red), but in adults which are already known memory difficulties or to recall the memories could be preferable to refrain from the intake of alcohol even in moderate quantities, as likely to worsen the situation, as well as for people of a certain age who have always been teetotalers is preferable to avoid the little "drink" even if it has been shown that it can be useful in the prevention of the Alzheimer disease. Drinking moderate amounts of alcohol would promote the release of acetylcholine in the brain, which plays an important role in the transmission of nerve impulses, then could have a role in the formation of good cholesterol HDL.. in the case of whole balanced nutrition combined with appropriate physical activity.

Boil carrots promotes the absorption of provitamin A or carotene (as it was originally identified in carrots), which is a precursor of pure retinol or vitamin A; moreover now a British study has shown that it is possible to avoid losing about the twenty-five percent of falcarinol, an anticancer and healthy compound, thanks to cooking the whole root without cutting the cores in order to protect cells from the direct contact with the boiling water and also benefit that the sugar component can make a more delicately sweet taste. The root of tat-root carrots is rich in vitamins which may vary depending on the quality and the color (from those yellow are extracted food pigments), very important for the vision are the carotenoids so that the shortage (hypovitaminosis A) can cause difficulty in night vision (night blindness or hemeralopia).

The practice for some years is spreading in between the wine producers to mix the white wine and red for to obtain the rosé seems to have been rejected on the business plan under pressure from big countries that support the interests of wine producers, and the organizations that represent. Some winemakers complain that this type of practices could limit the production of the traditional rosé and then also lead to the loss of jobs, in addition to damage traditional products typical of some places. Contrary to what you might think in reality it seems it is difficult to taste the difference between a rosé and one obtained by mixing white and red wines in the right proportions, then we must consider that with appropriate flavorings you can "adjust" the taste of any wine, and there are real specialists in the field, however, the age-old tradition in the traditional production can be safeguarded.

Vegetable soup diet

On the wall of the stomach some cells produce the ghrelin hormone that should be among those responsible of the sense of hunger, as it poured into the blood stream reaches the hypothalamus in the brain that acts as a kind of "central control" of the appetite; so happens that, for example, eating a watery vegetable soup the stomach remains full for longer than with a normal meal, so it could mitigate the sense of hunger. Many very high calories foods typical of industrial society are also the fault of not properly fill the stomach without being able to appease the hunger for long periods of time, with the result that the effect of the release of several modulating hormones (ghrelin, leptin..) can happen to feel hungry again and thirst, perhaps for certain types of food and drink little healthy for a nutritional balance and end up for overloading the body.

Lithium is an alkaline metal of white color, very light and tender, (the symbol is Li) and is used for a long time as a stabilizer to treat disorders personality, but high doses can be toxic or have different types of contraindications, then in its use should be strictly controlled.

Vitamin D is liposoluble (dissolves in fats and is an essential vitamin) and if has the advantage that a single dose will enough for several days, for the other has the defect that taken in excess for example from integrators could cause intoxication and deposition of calcium in the organs, so in addition to proper sun exposure is useful not to miss in the milk derived (not too skimmed) come from animals not closed and that the cattle can graze outdoors.

Scientists speculate that may be due to the fact that women have an incentive to feed ancestral order to ensure the food to the children in case of shortage of food and the beating advertising of tasty foods continuously feed the appetite, with the result that the females could be particularly attracted to high caloric foods that lead to the overweight and the obesity.

Morning or evening nutrition

To keep fit and try to avoid becoming fat is usually preferable to prioritize one type of diet with a higher intake of calories in the morning, compared to those introduced in the evening after having calculated the precise caloric needs that comes from the total metabolism, because is possible to burn the calories through the normal activities during the day (albeit in a sedentary occupations remaining immobile for several hours, the caloric consumption is pretty low), but avoid eating too much the evening is not a myth to dispel, from the moment that in the evenings time generally is consumed very few calories and there is the risk to affect the quality of the sleep. These considerations are valid also for the kids (increasingly fat in preschool period), which are often spontaneously very active in the morning with the proper caloric consumption in the physical game, while the evenings tend to relax and slow down the activities.

Health related to diet and exercise

Generally it seems that the public is little informed about what some diseases are directly linked to the lifestyle, type of diet, physical exercise, despite the numerous campaigns in each of these sectors: for example the excessive consumption of red meat may cause cancer to the intestine, but attention is also under the misuse of seasoning in their cooking.. little salutary habits that if added with cigarette smoking, alcohol abuse and lack of physical activity increase significantly the risk to health and worsen the state of well-being. Try to maintain the correct weight, and to scrupulously cure the nutrition could encourage the prevention of many diseases and disorders, but if there is a need to lose weight should avoid unbalanced diets or follow many advertising campaigns for products that have little or no slimming effect.

Fruit and vegetables as true integrators

Some time ago some researches indicated that taking vitamin supplements could not replace the equivalent contribution from fruit and vegetables in the context of a balanced diet and adequate physical activity, now a large study conducted by administration with various types of testing doses of vitamin C (five hundred milligrams per day) and E (four hundred international units) would have revealed that there are no particular differences in comparison to placebo and thus its protection from cancer should be propagated so resized or at least tested in specific cases. Other studies had indicated how important the B complex for preserving memory in the elderly and particularly vitamin B12, because the elderly with low levels of "idrossicobalamine" apparently are much less prepared mentally or with evident amnesia (useful in these cases also to bring folic acid).

Studied nutrition for the brain

To try to maintain the cognitive functions in good efficiency at all ages might be useful to follow a balanced diet, but the caloric profile rather "small" that not only protect the body from certain metabolic diseases and aging can limit the tissue oxidative stress, and, if combined with appropriate physical activity, exercise of the mind and the soul should help to improve both the performance and memory wellbeing in general. As regards the consumption of alcohol seems that if small and calibrated daily quantity may play a protective effect any abuse could encourage the onset of dementia and other diseases, while some experimental studies suggests that for patients with Alzheimer's hope could come from supplements of vitamin B3 or nicotinamide, which would seem to have effect on plaques of beta amyloid protein.

Eat slowly so as to not put on weight

The old Latin adage "prima digestio fit in ore" (the first digestion occurs in the mouth) is a basic salutary norm that favoring the wellbeing, and now a Japanese study carried out on three thousand people showed that a large percentage of those who ate quickly demonstrated a tendency to become obese, probably because the stomach fills quickly before the gastric juices in the discharge of their duties and the resulting signal to the brain of adequate satiety. Chewing slowly, focusing on food also allows to appreciate the taste of food in any shade (almost like a silent religious practice), but often the frenetic modern rhythms of the societies forcing a quick snack foods that often do not respect even the correct nutritional balance enabling keep fit naturally and promote the general wellbeing of the organism.

Among the vegetables with more properties and protective antioxidants usually indicates watercress, spinach, broccoli, cabbage.. then the whole berries, in a nutritional context that should abound with the normal seasonal fruit in balance between carbohydrates, fats and proteins that can not be underestimated from the moment that in the long periods of time could also cause some "disease" to the health.

Food and protective antioxidants

For to counter the damage risk made to the cardiovascular apparatus from the inflammation caused by the C reactive protein must be appropriate to take a small amount of dark chocolate a week or apparently one little square each day (less than seven grams approx) thanks to the antioxidant properties of polyphenols and flavonoids, but should not exceed these small quantities so as not to frustrate the effect.. and high doses has been shown by other studies also cause addiction. Of note also that the rosemary might be useful to counter the formation of acrylamide during cooking at high temperature foods like pizza, toast etc. then for a good protective effect will simply abound with vegetables, fruit and berries (thanks to anthocyanins and weak acids) and in the case of high blood pressure seem useful to drink every day half a liter of red beet juice.

Slimming diets compared

From some studies showing that the four main dietary programs known compared while achieving the goal of reduction of body weight do not favour a greater intake of fruits, vegetables and fibres (as the main nutritional guidelines recommend), however it seems that there is not related difference in the results achieved and these diets have been fairly balanced apart one that providing a reduced intake of carbohydrates with effects that over long periods could cause low levels of some nutrients. Worth noting in general that the "dissociated" diets allow to reduce weight by exploiting the lack of input of some nutrients in order to change the assimilation of food, but in practice at the expense of muscle mass (tonic and well trained); and by some studies it appears that sweeteners do not lose weight since the brain perceives the non-caloric bring stimulating the body to introduce sugar foods.

Sports nutrition

In any athletic activity is important to try to cure the kind of nutrition calculating the cost of energy so as to maintain the nutritional balance between revenue and expenditure and get a proper energy balance in kilocalories that respects all the variables related to the different types of sports. Many times happen to hear of nutritional regimes with disproportionate number of calories for athletes from huge muscle masses, hyperproteics.. with the risk of overloading the liver of nitrogen and then the kidneys of urea to be disposed of, then also with regard to nutrition to be followed before a race usually is not proper to introduce simple sugars, since it could cause an overhang on glycaemic for cause of the insulin secretion which limits the level of glucose in the blood available. The nutrition should be studied on the characteristics of the individual and depending on the type of athletic activity trying to respect the psychophysical global harmony.

Some species of algae are a food of the remarkable nutritional characteristics thanks the abundance of Omega 3 and benefits antioxidants, as well as completion in the diet along with plants already widely used it can help to solve the problems of wide impact, such as growing hunger of the globe and the level of concentration of carbon dioxide in the air, thanks to the typical characteristic of these aquatic organisms to absorb large amounts of CO2 through chlorophyll photosynthesis. Is possible also to use a share from the cultivation of particular species of algae due to high yield for to derive a portion of oil useful in the composition of the biodiesel (but therare is the usual question if is appropriate to burn the food resources) and then for the production feed.. looking at the same time to reduce the consumption of meat from animals that produce large quantities of harmful methane and CO2.

Human nutrition or biofuels

The choice to use in the composition of biofuels a share from crops that are frequently used in part for the human nutrition is considered from many as one of the causes of the rise of the price of basic food for many peoples of the globe, with consequences on limits survival for the poorest; but some complain that there may also be of the speculation to the basis in the prices beyond as factors such as drought in producing countries and an increase in demand in major emerging powers. Note that while once is thought as the cultivation of algae could be a valuable element to meet the needs of a planet increasingly populous, now has passed to consider them in the same way of other fuels and in the meantime continue to seek new deposits oil, with drilling projects (from 2 to 6 thousand meters) also in Italy in the Po valley.. all for that growing "hunger" of biofuels and food.

Vital Bulgarian yoghurt

The virtues of healthy yoghurt have been confirmed by many studies and now it seems that most centenarians Europe lies in a mountainous area of southern Bulgaria which consumes very traditional yogurt also called sour milk (quality Kiselo mlyako) which contains many Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus bacteria useful both to promote digestion and the contribution of important nutrients is to prevent aging and diseases caused by harmful bacteria. The fermentation of the milk in yogurt with bacteria have been studied by Stamen Grigorov in 1905, but is known from ancient times by the peoples of Asia Minor and the Balkans, then with time were selected many bacterial strains (from plants, trees, ants ..) and from of the type used also determine the type of taste, with a trend that now focuses more delicate flavors and creamy consistence through treatment of filtration and concentration than the classic and natural acid taste.

The serotonin acts on impulsiveness and hunger

A neurotransmitter involved in the activation of some areas of the brain such as the serotonin (or enteramin) could be responsible for a certain aggressiveness in the case that its levels in the brain are quite low due to the lack of food or aliments containing tryptophan, an amino acid essential for its synthesis. Is known that the serotonin (5-idrossitriptamin) plays a key role in regulating appetite and especially the high levels of the neurotransmitter seems to be responsible for the sensation of satiety or how the calories of food should be used for the metabolism or accumulated in fat. Changes in the type of food and been nervous stress could cause a swinging trend-type levels of serotonin with consequences on both the behaviour on the metabolism and the stimuli to feed.. in the past some medicines that rise the level of enteramin (for slimming) were accused of causing serious collaterals effects.

Each year in the world a mountain of about 700 million tons of grain is needed to feed the animals for slaughter and to produce one kilo of meat may take eight kilos of grain for cows, six for pigs.. a choice little salutary both global and individual made mainly by the Western people with models of development questionable.

Some nations seem to use and control the food resources without the necessary attention to the needs of the poorest countries, and part of increases that have hit some foods of wide use, but also fertilisers and generally all the means of production could also be the result of speculation in addition to factors due to the climate changes.

The balanced cycle of the nitrogen

The life on the land globe would not be possible without the cycle of the nitrogen present in the atmospheric air; in fact, whichever organism in phase of increase needs of the contribution of a balanced protein quantity, that they are the plastic material (in practical the bricks) of the organism and the same cells that compose it important factors nourished decay in lack of these that to difference of the carbohydrates and fat, constituted from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, they contain also the nitrogen. From the moment that on the land crust is present nitrogen in quantity relatively limited are necessary to take advantage of that present in abundance in air (78.09% approximately), but after to be used for the "construction" of proteins it must be given back to the atmosphere in order to avoid that it is get exhausted; all this fundamental cycle to the life is rendered possible from micro organisms that they capture nitrogen from the air and in kind they are hidden around the roots of the leguminous plants, that they produce indispensable proteins to the man and all the animals (then with the faeces and urines all will be recycled from others microbes.. with a mirabile equilibrium).

To signal that is possible to take advantage of the biofuels coming from working refuse, biomasses, dry leaf and twigs.. without to notch the alimentary resources, and with a careful management is possible to avoid of put in the atmosphere great amounts of CO2; but evidently the fuel saving remains always one of the main solutions for the safeguard of the ambience (forests, fossil resources..).

Now many of the genetic mechanisms that provoke the disease have been characterize, moreover it seems they can be also find of unexpected varying and would have to be also available for some appropriate cases specific medicines.. of simple use, many useful considering that some individuals tend to avoid the cures, as an example the women for fear fattening like collateral effect provoked from the insulin.

The individuals predisposed for genetic causes to become obese could mainly be hit from varied metabolic pathologies and also from some types of tumors, therefore in these cases to carry out a good prevention abounding with a nutrition rich of fruit and vegetables, appropriated physical exercise (meditation..) surely contribute to maintain in shape with a small engagement of time and salutary constancy.

A study carried out in South Korea on over 500 elderly persons has evidenced that a deficiency of folic acid can increase until to three times the insanity risk (or could be the symptom), other studies instead assumes that the Alzheimer disease could be a type of diabetes.. therefore in any case it seems it can be a connection with the type of feeding, weight variations, the pressure, the life style.

These variations in the nourishing power of the aliments could determine in the poor populations of the malnutrition problems, from the moment that the only real indispensable protein source for the increase of the organism comes nearly exclusively from the harvests of cereals and if we add also the impoverishment in vitamins could be determined a situation little salutary that could favor the rising of some pathologies.

In the ancient Rome was used the lead for hydraulic keys and parts of ducts of the imposing and valuable aqueducts, but the heavy metal dissolved in the water could cause of the neurological problems and recently it is uncovered that 5 - 10 micrograms of lead for decilitre are enough in order to compromise the intellective performances generally. In the modern societies to difference of the antiquity it is often tend to drink of the drinks in plastic bottles that to times contain like conserving the benzoate of sodium and vitamin C, that they could be transformed in toxic benzene in the case of bad and extended conservation or exposure to the solar beams. As far as instead for basic feeds like the bread, we discover that it could have been cooked "illegaly" (in the beautiful and unlucky Naples, metropolis often victim also of unjust exaggerations) stoking the furnaces with fuel coming from the rubbish dumps..

Cancerogenous Aphlatoxins and OGM

While the Italians are line up against the OGM cultivations, the multinationals inform the public opinion of the benefits of the maize genetically modified on the health avoiding the formation of the dangerous cancerogenous aphlatoxins, substances who could themselves be formed on some products from furnace, dry fruit, popcorn, marmalade.. not correctly conserved. In practical does not have to be consumed the aliments on which have formed of the mildews (fungi that have like stock the Aspergillus flavus) that they are provoked probably from the fertilizers, from the moment that theirs contributes to increase the water content of the aliments favoring in this way the developing of mildews. To signal also that in some cases is advisable to not limit to simply remove the mildew, but as an example to throw the food contaminated (as an example for the bread).

Up and down with the cholesterol

While there are studies that confirm the positive effects of the garlic for contrasting the hypercholesterolemia, there are others that put in doubt the validity; but this alternate of "scientific" tests would seem to be one characteristic of the information of healthy type (to times rises the doubt that can be of the veiled economic interests to support of some studies). However the property of the garlic to lower the pressure, as antiseptic and bland antiviral are known from "millenia" thanks to the famous active member from the smell not just agreeable like the allicina, and are useless to try to bridle with several methods the sulphured hydrogen vapors also in order to avoid to diminish the effectiveness of the healthy bulbs.

Beloved bread and milk

The effects of the drought provoked from the climatic changes has created repercussions on the price of aliments of first necessity and salutary for excellence like the bread and the milk legacies in figured way to the survival of the populations, considering also the international day on the poverty and the enormous figures on the number of persons without food in the world. Empirically watching the nature we note that the increase of the plants turns out slowed down from the scarcity of precipitations and also the last grape harvest has been particularly insufficient (but fortunately of quality); therefore it is obvious that also the grains harvests probably have endured the same effect, moreover the price of the oil is continuous to grow (seems 88 dollars to the barrel) and this influences on the energetic costs and of distribution, but what to incise mainly as usual it is the "crest" on the productive drawing raw.

It seems that there are now producers that insert in the labels of the products also the amount of CO2 put in the atmosphere in order to render the goods available to the consumption, a type of information that by now does not interest more only young environmentalists people, but one wide slice of population sensible to the climatic problems.

Could be a logon between some disturb of the psyche and the feeding, at least from how much denounced from English scientists that would have found as some industrial snacks and drinks would provoke agitation and insufficient attention in the children for cause of the dyes and conserving used in order to render attractive and desirable foods not just healthy. The list of the aliments containing coloring matters (recognizable in label from the letter E and then a number) and conserving little secure is long.. sweets, ice-creams, several drinks etc.; therefore for the children in place of a cake is sure preferable to replace them with a fruit or one fresh fruit juice. To signal this time for the adults that also some medicines could cause malaises of depression type; instead the folic acid present in the vegetables to wide leaf would have to be useful for the prevention and the cure of the disturbs of the humour.

Good grape harvest and brain

The grape in many vineyards of the Italy country would seem more or less ready for the grape harvest and the vintage year it is previewed is much good for quality and production, from the moment that the great summery warmth seems has favour the corrected maturation and transformation of sugars in the grapes, but some zones have been unfortunately hit from the hail and the harvest has gone in great lost part. To signal that if a moderate wine consumption during the meal (a glass) is sure salutary for the presence of protective anti-oxidants, but if is exaggerated could literally be shrunk the brain (research published on "Brain"), fortunately nearly always reversible phenomenon.. and as an example to a group formed from alcoholics has been found an increase of 2% of the grey mass after 38 days of abstinence from the alcohol (with recovery also of the auto repair abilities of the neurons).

From some time the salutary term would seem to have become enough fashionable and used in order to identify produced beloved of the Mediterranean diet (world-wide patrimony of the humanity) like the paste with the legumes, the grain, the oil extravirgin of olive, the simple gravies of tomato, the pizza, the fruit and the vegetables, the genuine cakes.., but there are also companies that as an example use between the ingredients of their "healthy" products also vegetables fats of poor quality (often of tropical origin with injurious effects for the cardiovascular apparatus) or happen that the slogan light is used for foods even fried. To signal also that the salutary biological products to times do not respect properly the specifics detailed lists of the product; but, when this happens is demonstrated of advanced quality from the nutritional point of view (and with minor residual of pesticides) of those coming from the wide distribution.

In summer is tend to abound with fruits and vegetables of season that beyond to being salutary from many points of view concurs, thanks to snacks opportunely spaced to maintain one correct hydratation of the skin and to favor or to maintain the tanning hindering the action of the harmful oxidants; but is advisable also to try to vary with the choice and origin of the "precious" vegetables for to protect from pesticides and fungicides and if possible to choose fruit cultivated with natural methods. One of the greater dangers for the health could derive abounding with the assumption of vegetables from the adding of various members chemistries of several pesticides present in the vegetables and on the peel of some fruits; therefore would have to try to dilute the most possible the effect, varying the type of feeding and in natural way.

The soft cream of ice cream generally comes prepared stirring slowly to -15° a compound of milk, sugar, egg yolks (fruits or cacao..) for approximately 20 minutes so that it makes solid; instead for the sorbet come used simply sugar syrup and the pulp of fruit, and for the icicles only sweetened fruit juice. To remember that the ice cream contains the lactose and develops approximately 218 calories every 100 grams, but naturally the caloric power varied according also to of the taste (creams or fruits) and if it comes added the whip cream.. however for who have problems of alimentary intolerances and of figure is preferable the walk with sorbet or icicle (137 kcal approximately).

Some important alimentary resources for the feeding could have of the increase of the price consisting for various motivations tied to the climatic changes, and is easy imaginable the consequences from the point of view of the final price as an example for all the huge group of the aliments produced with the grain; moreover the products of pastry shop and from furnace in order to save on the expensive butter would risk to make do with fat of poor quality and little salutary. To signal that also the fruit precious for a healthy feeding could have of the increase of the price, but in this case there is also the old problem of the chain of distribution with prices that leaven nearly in exponential way from the farmer to the retailer's shop and to damage of the consumer (with reduced economic possibilities).

Perhaps seen the results of this experiment also others disturbs of the nutrition could be linked to trauma in the infantile period and it is well-known that pathologies and a psychological climate little salutary could to influence the type of feeding adopted and the amount of food assumed (to times an incorrect diet can be tied to one suffering of the soul).

The choice to consume integral bread can be salutary for various reasons is from the nutritional point of view that dietetic; in fact the bran (cellulose film that covers the caryopsides) that comes eliminated in the refined flour favours one natural "gymnastics" for the stomachs and intestines that tolerates it, moreover contains much vitamin of the B complex, beyond to the iron and other minerals, developing approximately 245 calories to difference of the 270 of the white bread gained from flours very milled and sifted type 00, but in truth is utilize usual the less valuable 0 type or also the 1, in practical obtaining nearly of the integral bread that would be of flour of 2 type. As far as the working of the dough it would have to keep in mind that a long rising to the just temperature renders the bread soft thanks to the action of the Saccharomyces and the baking in the firewood furnace perfumes it pleasantly; finally favours the conservation a shape to round loaf (important with the cross on the dough also the religious meaning, and however is not lived of only bread..).

In truth the studies on the effectiveness of the caloric restriction on guinea-pig animals are well-known from decades; but by now the confirmation arrives also from the researches carried out on the man [from Luigi Fontana in America] that thanks a balanced diet of approximately 1700 calories concurs to maintain the values of pressures, glycaemia, cholesterol, triglycerides, inflammation to low levels much as in the boys (the secret would be in the mechanisms of operation of the mitochondria of the cells).. to signal that is an alimentary regimen that needs scrupulous controls in order not harmful being for the organism.

Between the more important cereals for the human feeding especially in the Asian countries it sure must remember the rice, many rich of carbohydrates (with the relative energy immediately spendable of the starches) and poor of vitamins and minerals; as far then as the proteins (7 grams in a hectogram of husking rice) they are rather poor, from the moment that scarce of essential amino-acids (like lisina, metionina and triptofano), but enough to add a little of milk or of grain cheese beyond in case to the legumes in order to resolve the disadvantage. The cultivation of the rice demands great water amounts in order to flood the rise fields, but in periods in which it is returned to speak unfortunately about drought is possible to partially use one agricultural technical to dry, at least for the first phase of increase of the plant with great saving of water resources.. Lately to Varese in the northwest of Italy it has been given the indication to the maximum consumption of 250 liters of drinkable water pro capita with limitations for washing car and irrigation (with preparation of apposite points of supply for these scopes) and filling the swimming pools to certain timetables (to verify).

The legumes have a remarkable nourishing and energetic power, but in order to compensate the low concentration of some amino-acids is necessary the coupling with small amounts of proteins obtained from milk and cheeses (with the single cereals would remain of the deficiencies).

To notice that while the European governments emanate measures for the reduction of the polluting emissions of the automobiles the climatology experts perceive that after a mild winter and in average insufficient rainy the next summer could be torrid; moreover unfortunately some scientists expect in future for Italy an effect of Holland type, with dams on the coasts in order to defend from the sea (hoping that they mistake themselves, in the meantime we can adopt one vegetarian diet.. but none prejudice against the meats).

Always in the Mediterranean nutrition the oil extravirgin of olive has been a point hinge of the diet, the liquid yellow gold that garnish and perfectly completing from the nutritional point of view the humble plates constituted generally from paste and various legumes. Now seems that the Italians people consume little olive oil than that in the past in quantifiable in percentage of about a 20% in less and this because it seems is perhaps increased in exaggerated way the cost in the distribution row (to the producers comes paid the least and by now the oil arrives in the country from all the world). It would be advisable not to save on the salutary extravirgin oil of elevated quality (pressed to cold), from the moment that a moderate consumption of mono-unsaturated fats, with the added of low doses of polyunsaturated to long chain (seed oils obtained from natural workings) could contribute to maintain itself in shape and in good health.

To notice that in England beyond to the sanitary penalizations for the obese ones it seems that is the intention to assign a mark to school based on the correct weight of the student and to the balanced nutrition. Recent studies signal that to the first places between the responsible causes of the weight increase it could be the quality of the sleep and the reduced number of the hours dedicated to the rest, then the chemical polluting dispersed in the ambience that can modify the endocrine functions; finally the lack of natural bodily thermoregulation due to the excessive use of heating and systems of conditioning (without to forget that mind, psyche and the physical activity play a fundamental role on the mechanisms that regulate the appetite).

While a part of the world fights against the obesity and the diseases that someone says provoked from the society of the "well-being", the other fights against hunger, silks, scarcities and the FAO denounce also the little effectiveness of the political of support to the poor populations. Some in the opulent societies try to lose weight drinking much water renouncing to the sweetened and gas drinks (than if exposed to the solar light it seems they are also degraded), while in the third world having great riches in the underground, are forced to drink of the putrid water that can cause also serious diseases, without to consider that also the food beyond to insufficient being is consumed without to follow hygienic or alimentary norms of security. In reality a poor diet guarantees the best well-being and guarantee of longevity, and perhaps a minimum of equilibrium would be enough for being able to give to all a dignified meal; but the economic interests are still too many to satisfy before those relative to the subsistence of the populations.. and the politics follow first of all the economy.

To consume soja with moderation

Seems that the consumption excessive of the soja and of its derives could cause male infertility in the adults; moreover in the children and in the babies above all the use of milk of soja could in some way alter the sexual development, at least from how much results from a journalistic english article. The oriental populations that make wide use of soja seem to enjoy optimal health, but to how much they consume soja fermented, therefore to reduced contained of phitoestrogens and the harmful phitic acid to difference of the western populations that above all assume it in great amount not fermented from products of industrial type.

The Mediterranean diet would seem to have at the moment one remarkable reputation, much to have been proposed the protection to patrimony of the humanity to parity of a charming place to safeguard; sin that the initiative has left from Barcelona in Spain [surely at the time credited.. however than has allowed genetically modified crops], but the principles of the Mediterranean nutrition goes back also to the Greek - Roman culture of the low social classes and peasants. Carried out fundamental in positive sense in the debit the character to the combination of foods one has had with the arrival of the tomato thanks to the discovery of the America and also in this case have been the populations of the south of Italy that have agree all over the world the spread of well-known healthy plates like the paste to the sauce and the pizza (however the important is to follow one correct diet).

Obese children and diets

Would seem that by now a child on three turns out obese and this could carry to a shortening of the expectation of life of the sons regarding that one of the parents, for cause of several factors that predispose to an elevated number of diseases connected in the subjects with strong overweight. To notice that the children that become obese from little age could have great difficulties to become thin from adults, from the moment that the patrimony of accumulated adipose cells unfortunately tend to become stabilized. As far as the type of diet more effective standard in order to become thin, from an English research it would turn out that the important is the motivations and the constancy of the dietetic regimen for some months (remembering in any case to always maintain a nutritional equilibrium). - Lately it has been noticed that the Italian children are between the most obese of Europe; moreover the parents of these young people not being the acquaintance of the elevated caloric contribution of sweetened drinks, use them normally to table to the place of the water, with in the long term little reassuring consequences for the line and above all for the health.

Time of grape harvest

This season although bizarre the climatic conditions that have characterized in Italy seems much good for a latecomer grape harvest and would have to concur to produce high quality wines (as far as the taste by now the aromas makes the difference, and then the sulphites unfortunately maintain them stable in the time). The grape is also a healthy fruit for excellence in special way that black rich of anti-oxidants present above all in the peel, that white is generally more sugary and could raise the glycaemia in predisposed subjects. The wine can contribute to prevent the infarct, the ictus, the diabetes and to maintain enough high the levels of good cholesterol sweeping that bad one; but as far as the habits of the young people it must signal decidedly some excesses to avoid (the alcohol is not a food). To notice, at last, from researches still to confirm that the juice of black grape probably thanks to particular poliphenols could increase the cognitive abilities avoiding the cerebral aging and also the hearing in the old persons for the merit of resveratrolo and the antioxidants.

To eat mean to age, for cause of the free radicals that damage the organism slowly, therefore from a study carried out near the University of the Louisiana it would have to reduce the energetic consumption and of the metabolism with hypo caloric diets. After six months of treatment it has been found in the subjects that are subordinates to the narrow alimentary regimen a lessening of the insulin values, bodily temperature, energetic consumption, damage to the DNA; recovering a biological profile similar to that one of the naturally long-lived persons. From an other study it turns out that the Korean pine-seeds (fruits of the Pinus Koreanensis) contain a fat acid polyunsaturated in able to making to diminish after half hour the food desire and appetite assumption from approximately 1/3, thanks to the property of two peptides (colecistochinina and glucagone-1 similar) to signal the sense of satiety to the brain.

After the wines with the magical touch of vary aromatizing for giving a fashionable taste, has perhaps arrived also the moment of the natural biological wines of quality, from the moment that initially have been blame from the experts of being produced of low quality and little attractive for the taste. In a zone in Italy of the Lombardy with a particularly favorable climate for the cultivation of the grape known until from the time of the Roman, the famous Franciacorta (than in the past means court - free or country duty-free), some producer tries to obtain optimal wines and sparkling wines thanks to the low natural production of grape of biological cultivations without intensive treatments (hoping that the next step is the passage to the biodynamic wine).

To notice instead that also only the scent of cacao and chocolate sprayed in the air as essence could be useful to calm the children in stressful situations (ambulatory, classrooms..); in fact the scent of "pastry shop" would reproduce in the mind one feeling of domestic well-being.

Dietetic salutary regimen

In this period abounds on the media and Internet dietetic councils of every type, but in truth only the specializes dieticians could prescribe reduced alimentary regimes. Not trust from the purifying, easy or hyper protein diets, that even use also medicines or integrators; in fact the only effective method in order to recover naturally in shape is that one to follow a balanced feeding, but intensifying at the same time the physical exercise and the meditation. As an example a balanced salutary nourishment that previews the 60% approximately of carbohydrates, 25% of fats and only the 15% of proteins, of Mediterranean type with abundant use of fruit and vegetables (milk-egg vegetarian) concurs to slowly re-establish in natural way the weight forms if joined to prayer (meditation, suggestion, autogenous training..) and frequent and light physical exercise, but extended without interruptions (a style of life to always adopt). To notice that the expensive products that promise to lose weight, generally make only become thin the wallet; moreover if is believed to eat a grapefruit to the day in order to burn the fat must instead calculate also those calories introduced in surplus in the diet.

Anti-oxidants and wine

While some investigators try to revalue the anti-oxidants qualities of the white wine, others signal that it would drink quite five liters of red wine to the day for having a benefit from the resveratrolo present evidently in small quantity in the alcoholic drink; moreover it would seem that the substances that delay the aging in the practical test do not have much effect. Fortunately all are in agreement in the benefits deriving from the abundant consumption of fruit and vegetable and in a salutary style of life, attended of new researches on the aliments (possibly not piloted from strong economic interests).

Is famous that as an example that raw cabbages and broccoletti contribute to prevent from the tumors to the intestine and the colon, then the turnips, the water-cress and radish in order to contrast the growth of the tumors to the lung (but seems that the effectiveness depends on the presence of some genetic characteristic), tomatoes and relative sauce from the cancer to the blister and the prostate, carrots, garlic and red oranges in order to prevent ictus and cardiopathies (naturally to pact of not to have vices like that one of the smoke, that it would cancel all the benefits).

Of sure taking of the pills of Omega3 it does not justify little healthy attitudes, like making little physical activity, eating in unregulated way without to abound with fruit, vegetables, legumes and following a diet of Mediterranean type with moderate use of extra virgin oil and red wine (are innumerable the studies that try it).
