Colds did not diminish with the approach of spring
Posted by Viliyana Filipova in Health Issues on February 23rd, 2010
The spring colds are less frequent than in the winter - at least it shows statistics. Many believe that the reason for this is spring fatigue, lack of sunlight and vitamins. But there is another more important reason - Spring viruses are much more active. And to overcome them successfully, we need to change their methods of protection. The air temperature of -3 to 5 degrees and high humidity typical of spring months are ideal conditions for respiratory viruses. Rino-viruses only (those who primarily produce fever) do not feel comfortable. However, even if they are able to live up to 3 hours on hands and various objects. Yet this is far less than vital period adeno-viruses example - at 4 degrees to 70 active days! Activity of influenza viruses and cold depends not only on temperature but also humidity. It was found that at room temperature flu virus is spreading most rapidly when the humidity is relatively low (20-35%) or relatively high (above 85%). At 50% humidity that reduces the activity of the virus. These facts confirm the well-known recommendations for frequent ventilation of the premises, the placing of air humidifiers and more often out in the fresh air. But everything changes when the air temperature 5 degrees. The virus becomes active in high humidity - ie in warm and wet spring weather. Here is what is due to the strong wave of the March “spring” flu.

Every day can happen to forget where we left the key, what time is our meeting, when to pick up the child, etc. These situations remind us hard, that our memory is not perfect.

In ancient philosophy, the memory is interpreted as a gift, people close to the world of the divine - Plato thought it was a basic ability of the soul. The memory must treat carefully, experts advised today. It can be as capricious and compliant response time. Laws of memory:
1. Memory should not be practiced as well as the muscles are trained. Meaningless “learning” material does not build a habit to learn easier and faster. Systematic mental exercises can allow a deeper insight into the nature of the facts easier to get acquainted. They foster the emergence of rational behavior for remembering and recalling. Even in mature and older age can achieve improvement of memory, if used wisely proves its subjective.
2. It is necessary to obtain a quick, accurate and clear impression of what needs to be remembered.
3. Since the impressions are directly related to imagination, it all ways, making it possible to develop imagination and figurative thinking, may prove useful for remembering.
4. Relatively common events in life that make a particularly strong impression can remember right now and stand in the mind very clearly and distinctly, even after many years. More complex and less interesting events one can experience dozens of times, but they are not sealed in memory for a long time.
5. By concentrating attention on the event, once experienced, later in the required sequence can be reproduced from memory, its main points.
6. Lack of sufficient attention in the perception of information can not be compensated by increasing the number of its repetition.
7. What a person likes, is remembered without any work. This pattern is especially clearly manifested in more mature years.

Do not give up on fats in food
Posted by Viliyana Filipova in Lose Weight on February 17th, 2010
Trying to lose weight, we exclude most of its fatty food ration. This is not always correct. Why? In recent years, some allegations were refuted in nutritionists, for instance, that the oil and fat are harmful and beneficial oils. Largest study devoted to the health of the dependence of fat used was initiated during the first half of 20 century in the United States and continues to this day. Scientists now believe that the most healthy and physically active are people who observe a mixed diet, ie use and animal and vegetable fats. You should not give up entirely of fat, when shortages because the body begins to process carbohydrates into fat. This is not an option, since carbohydrates do not receive the most beneficial fats. Over the past 10-15 years, the massive use of nonfat products in the U.S. for example does not lead to a reduction in the number of people overweight. So today could be made definitive conclusion that health diet without fat is not less harmful than the constant abuse of greasy food, a shortage of fats leads to a total violation of the metabolism. Another popular belief is not stood the test of time - that margarine is more useful than the oil. It really does not cholesterol, but on account of it contains trans fats, which are characteristic of normal products of this type. Fat products are a source of energy, they are involved in warming the body. In extreme situations, the stock of fat allows for long enough to live without food.

Boiled food can be more healthy than raw
Posted by Viliyana Filipova in Health Advices, Health Issues on February 5th, 2010

Dietitians recommend that during this period, especially to increase the consumption of boiled or cooked by steaming vegetables, as a rule they are more useful than raw. Traditionally considered in carrots has many vitamin A, but in fact the main merit of the carrots are alpha and beta-carotene - powerful antioxidants, which dispose of free radicals, slow the aging process and protect against atherosclerosis and cancer. Carrots also contain lutein, which helps to maintain proper vision even in the very elderly. Indeed, vitamin A (in this sense) in carrots will not - it is produced in our body from carotenes, after the use of this vegetable. If the carrots are cooked, they beneficial carotenoids increased by about 14% lutein - by 11%. So - put more carrots when making soup or a vegetable garnish. If the carrots are cooked in the oven or fryer, useful substances in their declining - they become even less than in the raw vegetable. Do not hurry to give up this method of preparation - has been shown so carrots are equally useful. What explains this paradox? Scientists say that despite reducing the amount of carotenes in carrots cooked in this way increases the total antioxidant activity, ie they become more useful because more effectively disposed of free radicals. Spanish researchers have also found this phenomenon: the process of cooking carotene is converted into more active forms, as well as additional new form and antioxidants.
