Europe in the grip of the heat Temperatures well above forty Celsius degrees in large areas of Europe are causing several problems and inconveniences, then there is talk of three victims in Paris and fires in Spain near Tarragona where two thousand five hundred hectares of vegetation were burned. In Germany, a speed limit has been set on some sections of the fast highways for fear that the asphalt may partially melt due to heat and thus causing accidents. Health authorities warn to be cautious during the hottest hours of the day considering that even at night temperatures remain high not allowing the body to recover. Quite hot even in places that do not suffer the influence of heat islands such as city parks, countryside and mountain. In Italy affected by the heat wave of African origin in particular the north-west; for example Turin, then very hot also in Milan (to report two victims). e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 27, 2019

 We ingest too many plastic micropracticelles If we add up all the sources contaminated with plastics derivatives will probably reach the number of hundreds of thousands of plastic microparticles every year, at least according to the opinion of researchers who experience how the environment is saturated with plastic fragments of the dimensions that vary from the five millimeters to a few microns present in each place and therefore oceans, lakes, rivers, arctic ice, land and air. One of the major sources of plastic contaminants would be the synthetic textile fibres, for example from clothes in polyester, nylon and acrylic as well as anything like carpets. As far as health risks, there is still no clear evidence of the damage; then many microparticles are caught and expelled from the digestive tract and airways (through the mucosa and ciliary apparatus), but from animal studies would result an abnormal response of the immune system with a kind of inflammation and stress. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 11, 2019 n°: 4106 Teaching children not to smoke The day promoted by as no to tobacco for the health of the lungs by international organizations would have been exploited by a large company selling electronic cigarettes as an alternative solution against the use of tobacco, but apparently at laboratory tests the liquids of these new devices (without tobacco) are even more damaging than cigarettes for the organism. We should teach children already at the age of eleven not to smoke, since some studies warn how at that stage of life young people begin to become familiar with this unhealthy habit that turns out to be even more damaging to all the organs and especially for the respiratory tree at a young age. One of the methods to prevent children from starting to smoke is to avoid seeing people with charisma who smoke on television and in films distracting them with playful activities, then it is important to pay attention to the hygiene of the eyes and mouth, especially of the teeth. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 01, 2019 n°: 4098 A nap to lower the pressure Taking a nap during the day would lower the pressure in the same way as other healthy lifestyle changes, at least according to a study by Greek researchers who would have monitored better readings with an average of five mmHg less; moreover for each resting hour the systolic or maximum pressure decreases by an average of three mmHg with respect to the pressure levels. This could have positive effects on the organism avoiding serious problems to the cardiovascular apparatus, then improve the measurements taken throughout the day and quantifiable to give an example in about 128/76 against the 134/79 mmHg of who does not a nap. Don't is want to encourage people to sleep for hours during the day but just to take a break and not feel guilty having the healthful benefits that can get. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 09, 2019 n°: 4026 Compensation in Canada for tobacco damage Some cigarette companies due to the effect of a class action would have been condemned in Canada to pay a large sum for compensation from damage to health caused by tobacco smoke even if it still remains to await the last degree of judgement. The sum will benefit of about one hundred thousand people and then in practice divided into small reparations, but it is still an important result. There are many criticisms that environmentalists are advancing against the tobacco industry accused of being very polluting, with a production chain not environmentally friendly, then cigarette butts are the most common use of plastic disposable that does not come in mostly recycled. If the demand for tobacco continues to grow, we will see alarming environmental degradation due to the large demand for land, water, energy, pesticides and fertilizers. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 02, 2019 n°: 4020 Relationship rheumatoid arthritis and smoking Women who have stopped smoking for a long time would have a lower risk of getting rheumatoid arthritis than those who have recently decided to remove this unhealthy and expensive habit from their lifestyle; in fact a new study would have shown that the risk decreases by thirty-seven percent, at least in patients who have antibodies in the blood that identify the inflammatory disease affecting the joints and especially those of the hands and feet. There is also talk of a higher frequency of deformities to joints, disabilities and inflammation (but depending on the pathogenesis of the disease) that often affect women of working age and therefore with heavy burden on societies and families. Another study would have shown that smoking affects cancer cells of melanomas making healing more difficult in patients. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 27, 2019 n°: 4017 Reduce the stress of children in the nature A walk in a forest can help children who feel a little stressed, depressed or hyperactive to improve their behavioral problems and habits of life, but according to researchers in Hong Kong who carried out this study using questionnaires often happen that families do not exploit the large green areas made available for their children or if they travel to wooded areas find dissuasive or uninviting signs (such as not to approach the plants). Many programs aim to lessen the so-called natural deficit in kids who show they are disconnected from nature in order to also improve health conditions and then the perception of joy of being immersed in greenery, empathy for nature without corget the awareness and responsibility towards her. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 14, 2019 n°: 3978 New little healthy habits Many habits imposed by modern societies are new to both health and the environment; for example, replacing a balanced lunch with a fast-food type sandwich means introducing an excessive amount of saturated fat into the organism as well as releasing a large amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere (food according to international organizations is responsible for one third of global greenhouse emissions). The chain needed to put on sale a fast food sandwich requires a lot of energy from food to finish with the refrigeration so that it has been calculated that it is comparable to that which is used to make travel a vehicle for about nine kilometers, then all the fast consuming food that remains unsold ends up in the garbage producing fermenting other greenhouse gases. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 11, 2018 n°: 3949 Alarming pollution in Delhi in India The air quality index in Delhi exceeded six hundred regarding the value of pollution and in a area seven hundred (from zero to fifty is considered good and up to a hundred satisfactory) so much that the big metropolis is immersed in a dense hood of smog. The authorities advise to avoid outdoor activities and the use of the various private motor vehicles in addition to keeping medicines at hand for those suffering from respiratory diseases, then to pay attention to the health conditions of young people exposed to high thin particulate concentrations also referring to the recent notice of international organizations that over sixty thousand children lose their lives in the globe due to respiratory infections and pollution. Some advise to try to improve the air quality to use in place of the pollutants fireworks in the frequent festivities in Delhi electronic substitutes with coloured lights and simulated sounds. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 05, 2018 n°: 3918 Dry the hands with paper in public toilets Many bacteria are becoming antibiotic resistant, posing a serious health threat and researchers would have found that jet-air dryers with their strong jet of hot air spread them all over the baths. Public Because many do not wash their hands and the bacteria remain attached to the skin, so it is better to use to dry the sheets of paper (which also allow a better cleaning and are greener if made in recycled paper and do not absorb energy Electrical). In case the jet-air dryer is in a hospital avoid using it it could be a safer choice regarding the health of the sick as well as an accurate washing of the hands without touching any surface of the bathroom. To be reported changing the subject that a study would have highlighted the presence of microplasty in the poo with consequences still not well clear on health, but certainly worrying. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 25, 2018 n°: 3909 Salutary and Well-being * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
