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.

Posted by Viliyana Filipova in Health Advices, Health Issues on February 5th, 2010
Late winter and early spring is the most difficult season for the body, because then he needs more vitamins. 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.
