Decrease the dementias risk by quitting smoking Individuals who have stopped smoking for a long time and those who have never had this unhealthy vice would have as the age progresses a risk of having less dementias from fourteen to nineteen percent, at least from a study carried out in South Korea (on an archive of forty thousand men over the age of sixty) that underlines how it is possible prevent one of three case of dementia and for example for Alzheimer's have been put into circulation in the past by tobacco companies false news of possible protection of cigarette smoke against degenerative diseases. The study based a questionnaire started in 2002 and finished in 2013 would have diagnosed over sixteen hundred and forty men suffering from dementia, but the interesting point would be that the risk is reversible by quitting smoking; so this positive figure noted should encourage smokers to quit. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 27, 2018

 Prevention from heat for the elderly As the age progresses older people would be less able to quickly balance the body's heat than young individuals mainly because they have reduced sweating, at least from a study carried out by a researcher Canadian by monitoring hundreds of cases for example by comparing data about people exposed at a temperature of forty-four degrees Celsius for a few hours. Sweating is one of the main mechanisms for regulating body temperatures and if the percentage of moisture in the air is very high the sweat evaporates from the skin with greater difficulty; moreover older people feel less stimulation of thirst and tend to drink less water and this aggravate the situation, then those who have also diabetes would have a worse superficial blood circulation of the skin. For the elderly is important to maintain a suitable temperature in the homes and often hydrating themselves. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 12, 2018 n°: 3817 Unhealthy predictions on global heat A study carried out on the global temperature data monitored in 2017 revealed that one third of the world's population already lives in areas where daytime temperatures are considered lethal over twenty days a year and even with drastic cuts in polluting emissions in the next seventy-five years it is expected that the number of days from lethal heat could increase to fifty percent of the population or seventy-five percent if measures were taken to limit the emissions. Already previous studies had warned on the probable worsening in the future of the quality of life due to days more and more characterised by suffocating heat in summer amplified by the island heat effect provoked by an obliged urbanization which does not even respect the areas reserved for the protection of biodiversity that normally favour a healthy equilibrium of temperatures. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 07, 2018 n°: 3812 Restrictive rules against smoking in Tokyo With a more restrictive ordinance than the Japanese nationals on smoking the authorities of the capital Tokyo would be willing in the perspective of the Olympics of 2020 to try to eliminate the smoke of cigarettes, including the second-hand one, waiting for take the measure even across the country. The measure will extend the bans to eighty-four percent of the capital's restaurants and bars compared with the forty five percent provided in national legislation in order to protect the health and well-being of most vulnerable people such as children and employees, then in general the legislation will establish the total ban on smoking in kindergartens, schools and day care centers; but the ordinance is structured so as to slip until April 2020, just before the Olympics. International health organisations in 2017 had classified Japan into a group in last place regarding the adoption of anti-smoking rules. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 28, 2018 n°: 3804 Uncontrollable jellyfish proliferation That of the proliferation of jellyfish in the Mediterranean is not only a nuisance for bathers, but according to some also a clear indicator of the evidence of how human activities have destabilized the marine ecosystem; in fact factors such as climate change and therefore the overheating of the sea combined with the excessive exploitation of fishing areas tend to aggravate the situation so much that beautiful tourist resorts in the south of Spain have had to forbid bathing for the presence of dangerous jellyfish stinging. Until a couple of decades ago this proliferation of jellyfish happened only on exceptional occasions, now this phenomenon happen almost every year in areas near the coast, also because it is suitable for reproduction being rich in plankton, then among the causes taken in consideration there would also be global maritime traffic since some species of jellyfish are inadvertently transported by ships. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 14, 2018 n°: 3792 Areas reserved for biodiversity not respected With an agreement concluded in 2010 almost two hundred nations pledged to reserve by 2020 seventeen percent of the globe's territories to areas reserved for the protection of biodiversity through parks and other naturalistic sanctuaries in order to be shield plants and animals for pollution, land clearances and climate change; but a third of these areas are now subject to human exploitation with the construction of roads, cities, farms and railways, at least from what would result from a research carried out in Australia that has calculated in about six million square kilometers the loss in biodiversity. To make a figurative example it is as if a territory that includes India and Argentina combined was subjected to human exploitation also (with some exceptions) forcing in practice the species that populate them to migrate and thus influencing the biodiversity of other areas generating conflicts between species and unhealthy natural imbalances. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 19, 2018 n°: 3769 Safe reconstruction after earthquakes In a celebration carried out by the Chinese authorities in memory of a disastrous earthquake ten years ago in Sichuan that caused seventy thousand victims, the investment department for reconstruction would have said that hardly a similar tragedy would now occur because the houses were rebuilt with anti-seismic criteria (although there are in some cases of controversy) hoping that other Asian nations where the risk in case of earthquake remains very high, aggravated by an uncontrolled type of urbanization, follow the same example. Moving the attention to Italy in the city of Fermo in the Marche region to report a case on which is still try to clarify and probably due to lack of proper verification after the earthquake of 2016; in fact, for the failure of a truss collapsed the roof of a computer school classroom of a historical building just before the students entered the school. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 15, 2018 n°: 3765 Soil moisture fluctuations monitored Using climate models related to soil humidity of thirty-seven simulations to calculate which regions will experience the largest positive and negative fluctuations until 2100 European researchers identified how the tropics are the areas most at risk and therefore the poorest countries could suffer the greatest fluctuations because of climate change increasing effects; in practice the threat will be for water resources and food making life increasingly difficult. For each degree of climatic overheating the study foresees a temperature variability of more than fifteen percent in Amazon and in the south of Africa and of ten percent in the Sahel region in Africa, India and southeast Asia. One of the most important mechanisms in the climatic fluctuations would be the drying of the soil and also a small increase of the temperatures decreases the cooling effect of a humid soil. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 08, 2018 n°: 3759 Inconvenience by heat wave on the Philippines Due to temperatures of more than forty-one degrees Celsius monitored in at least fourteen areas of the Philippines the meteorological bureau of the state would have advised the population as a precaution to stay indoors and maintain good hydration in addition to remain in the lower floors of homes in environments not overheated by sunlight avoiding outdoor activities for the risk of cramping and heat exhaustion. In the province of Cavite in the locality of Sangley Point the monitored temperature was higher than forty-seven and half Celsius degrees and generally as often happens in case of heat waves the authorities recommend very lightweight clothes of light colors (in natural fibres) that can reflect the sun's rays and in case of a drink only abundant water; in fact alcohol dehydrates the body, then it might be useful to make small and frequent meals avoiding protein-rich foods that increase the metabolic heat. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 23, 2018 n°: 3748 Stop smoking without electronic cigarettes For the smokers who decide to quit smoking is better not using electronic cigarettes as a substitute to ignite normal ones with tobacco to give up the little healthy habit, at least according to the results of a study in which American researchers treated with targeted health care over one thousand and three hundred-fifty smokers who expressly asked to stop, of these twenty-eight percent used electronic cigarettes occasionally for three months after they stopped, and after six months it would have been verified with lab tests that a ten percent of these had actually stopped smoking in comparison to a twenty-seven percent that had not used electronic cigarettes. Changing completely topic but remaining on health issues to report that in the little yellow ducks of rubber to put in the bath of children have been then found potentially pathogenic bacteria. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 30, 2018 n°: 3729 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) |
