Artificial fiber polymers muscle Developing previous projects of artificial muscles that used expensive carbon fibers formed from nanoparticles or similar structures to the nickel-titanium, an international team of researchers would be able to develop bundles of fibers made of polymers as thin as a strand of fishing rods capable of lift weights one hundred times higher compared with human muscles, loading them in practice a bit as happens in model airplanes turning propellers that are connected to elastic wrap on themselves and then gradually release the stored energy. These economic and resistant muscular structures that exploit bundles of polyethylene fibers of diameter about ten times a human hair could be used both to replace human muscles is to give movement to exoskeletons or to replace noisy electric motors such as the opening and closing of windows for automated energy savings environments. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 22, 2014 ![]() ![]() Lose weight by decreasing the homes heating Most of the people remains for about ninety percent of the time each day indoors too heated that could contribute to increasing waistline, at least according to a Dutch study that suggests that maintaining a temperature of nineteen degrees in the environments can promote a fair balance and allow to burn a bit of calories to maintain a proper body temperature keeping in shape, but some argue that the cold may stimulate hunger and perhaps the urge to eat a bar of chocolate or other calorie food. A moderately cold temperature even if uncomfortable (and for at health risk some individuals debilitated) helps to increase the energy consumption of the body of a six percent that considering a long period of time can make a difference especially in combination with a correct diet and bodily exercise. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 25, 2014 n°: 2427 ![]() Slow metabolism in men and primates Examining the calories expended by humans and seventeen species of primates in ten days, the researchers have found a daily intake of a fifty percent lower than that of other mammals, at least from the results of an American study carried out using a non-invasive technique that allows to trace the production of carbon dioxide of body, and therefore man and primates have a slow metabolism with slow growth, long life and a limited energy consumption also doing physical activity. Chimpanzees, baboons, lemurs and primates locked up in a zoo consume the same calories than those who live free and a man should run a marathon every day to get closer to the energy consumption of a mammal of its size. This finding could be useful for understanding the processes of growth, aging and metabolic disorders of the body in relation to energy consumption. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 16, 2014 n°: 2419 ![]() Strategies to combat obesity and overweight Given the constant increase in the consumption of sugar, salt and fat, especially in the countries in strong economic growth where individuals by now have the opportunity to choose any food wish, it could be useful according to a report English do awareness campaigns such as those against smoking and other strategies targeted against the influence of the media also to avoid cardiovascular problems, stroke, diabetes, that are becoming a kind of global emergency, while people tend to do less exercise leading a sedentary life. It is estimated that overweight people around the globe have almost quadrupled since 1980, with numbers that will soon reach a billion of people, with countries such as Egypt and Mexico that are particularly affected by this unhealthy condition, then do not miss to the contrary in stark contrast the cases of malnutrition in children and of extreme hunger. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 07, 2014 n°: 2411 ![]() Prostheses useful but sometimes defective to replace The ability to replace worn joints with artificial implants now allows many individuals to resume a normal life and also for sports keeping fit, but not always all goes in the best way as is proving the case of a hip prosthesis of well-known American company that apparently tends to corrode releasing cobalt and chromium (considered to be due to toxic contamination and partly carcinogens) in the body as well as promote tissue destruction, infections and bone fractures always be connected to the abnormal release of particles. It is a particular model of the prosthesis with double lifetime than normal since it would allow about twenty years of independence and after several cases of anomalies found the same manufacturer is probably determined to a voluntary withdrawal of the orthopedic product that has not yielded the results expected by the market. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 16, 2013 n°: 2394 ![]() There are not some forms of healthy obesity Some argued that if the values related to the metabolic state of health of an overweight individual is kept within safe limits did not increase cardiovascular risk compared to people of normal weight, and indeed there was also talk of some form of healthy obesity, but a study conducted in Canada on more than sixty thousand individuals in a period longer than ten years has shown that there are not advantages in the monitored data of overweight people and risk factors likely have not been previously taken into account in the long term. Being overweight continues to be a risk factor that often worsens the situation if healthy level or other metabolic indices are incorrect or in case of smoke and other unruly lifestyles, then with respect to the so-called healthy obesity can be defined a "kind of myth" that has no real basis of data taken at long distance. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 09, 2013 n°: 2388 ![]() Physical exercise for pregnant mothers The children to few days after the birth of mothers who exercise have a brain more mature than that of babies born to mothers sedentary, at least according to an American study that tested these differences by comparing two groups of mothers, assigning to one a program of moderate exercise twenty minutes three times a week to practice in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, while the control group consisted of sedentary mothers. Placing a cap with soft electrodes on the heads of babies born from eight to twelve days, the researchers measured during their sleep the brain's response to certain sounds both new and familiar and found that actually the children of exercised mothers had a more mature brain. Other studies have shown (as opposed to age examined) than in the elderly exercise improves memory with increased neuronal activity. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 16, 2013 n°: 2369 ![]() Physical exercise and science progress To increase the progress level of a degree in science of boys who have to study mathematics and science should carry out an hour of intense physical exercises a day, at least from what appears to be a British study of about five thousand kids which showed an improvement in every seventeen minutes of exercises and twelve minutes for the girls who seem to take good benefit of physical activity in addressing science (and this is interesting to evaluate from the perspective of the brain). Many children are less than sixty minutes per day of physical activity, then it is a looking a little biased and that would require further testing, however there would be benefits for both boys of eleven, thirteen and sixteen and even then it is important that education are taken into account the importance of the exercise, do not forget that also have benefits in terms of health. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 23, 2013 n°: 2349 ![]() Better to stay standing that sitting The life in industrial societies has become too sedentary as never before in history and in practice always being spent sitting with short trips from one place to another sitting, and then from the chair in front of the computer to the car seat or from chair of a table to the that of the television, and according to a British study shows that we spend more than twelve hours a day sitting with negative consequences on the health and life expectancy that can be reduced by an average of two years compared to individuals who are often standing. Physical activity may be useful to keep in shape, but not enough to compensate the damage to the body resulting from being seated for a long time, which reduces the action of the enzyme lipoprotein lipase which breaks down fats in the blood to the muscles to make them available, in fact these differences have been observed in studies carried out in the past for example between bus drivers and controllers. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 17, 2013 n°: 2344 ![]() Walking as affordable health plan Since be physically active could make a difference for some diseases such as diabetes type two, many cancers and Alzheimer's English studies suggest that also simply walk might be a good program to promote for the population as it is an accessible physical activity and suitable for everyone in a society that tends to become more and more sedentary with many overweight individuals. In addition to walking, may be useful to keep fit and save many lives from various diseases cycling, gardening as well as moderate activities that raise the heart rate allowing to converse easily carried out for about two and a half hours a week. Walk at least an hour a day is considered then a good "medicine" for the cardiovascular system and to significantly decrease the risk of breast cancer. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 08, 2013 n°: 2335 ![]() Training and Fitness * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
