Calcium is an essential mineral for the body since both important roles in metabolism, as in muscle contraction and the formation of structures, so we should not encourage shortcomings, but to promote coverage of the recommended daily allowance.

To cover the amount of calcium 1000 mg daily in a middle-aged adult, it is necessary to include various foods in certain quantities that the body can use this mineral to the specific functions and thus away from the chances of gaps. Here’s what foods and quantities you can cover the amount of calcium throughout the day.

For about 1000 mg calcium daily as part of a varied and balanced diet, you eat the following foods:

* 1 cup whole milk or skim.
* 1 large 200g yoghurt approximately

* 1 piece of semi-hard cheese,  partially cured
* 1 serving of pasta and / or vegetables
* 1 serving of meat
* 1 / 2 whole egg
* 4 servings of bread
* 5 servings of fruits and vegetables

It is clear that if any of these foods we consume, we can add calcium to the diet with the help of nuts, sardines in oil, or more milk.

But as we see, with a varied and balanced diet, because we do not have to be at risk for calcium deficiency, but respecting the quantities of each food group can acquire the necessary daily dose of the mineral.

That’s what happens with bacteria. Sanitation and hygiene are the best strategies and tactics to combat them. These attacks before they penetrate the human body. In this field the weapons are usually simple and inexpensive. And the very effective fighter. When preparing food, one must:

Tips to clean out the food of children and babies

- Wash hands, surfaces and utensils with water (preferably hot) and plenty of soap. This includes food stores, even the fridge, because some bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes can grow slowly at refrigerator temperatures.- Some foods such as meat, poultry, fish or ready to eat foods like hot dogs, sausages that are dried or dried fermented and soft cheeses such as brie may contain dangerous bacteria. Therefore, the best strategy is to keep separate these foods from fruits, vegetables, breads and generally of all foods that are ready to eat.

- Avoid eating, if possible, raw food, especially meat, poultry, seafood and vegetables. These foods should be cooked to safe temperatures. This implies that even cooked, to reheat it right until steaming, or are liquids such as milk, until boiling.

- Cool, refrigerate or freeze food, is another essential practice to prevent contamination by bacteria in perishable foods, marinated, prepared or leftovers. This process must take place before within two hours and in small quantities and stored in shallow containers for quick cooling.That the refrigerator should not be filled too so that cold air can circulate properly and kept in good food. And that the thawing process is not done at room temperature, but under running cold water (or have one in the microwave) to make the process as quickly as possible.

- Always use a clean cloth or paper towels to dry the dishes, or let them dry on a rack after they are rinsed with hot water.

- Keep tightly closed on garbage. Empty it frequently and rinse with hot water and some disinfectant every time you flush

A team from the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health was obtained for the first time, consistent evidence indicating that snuff itself can cause asthma.

The results of the study, published in ‘European Respiratory Journal, show that both smokers and former smokers are more likely to be asthmatic than those who never had the habit, indicating that the effects of nicotine on the body remain over time. In fact, even former smokers have higher risk of contracting the disease (49%) than those who continue to smoke (33%).

But the worst part is worn by women. According to the authors of the study the risk of developing asthma than females can become 143%. For Dr. Ritva Piipari, one of the researchers, this may be because “women are much more vulnerable to the harmful effects of substances from cigarettes than men.

One theory is supported by the fact that even non-smokers are more likely to be asthmatic (57%) than men who have also stopped smoking.

Another important findings of this work is that the risk of developing asthma is proportional to the number of cigarettes smoked per day and the total amount smoked throughout life.

Research

In reaching this conclusion, the Finnish Institute team studied a group of 1,444 people, including smokers and nonsmokers, in southern Finland during a period of two years.

In addition to several questionnaires, participants completed tests that measured their lung function and needed to establish their own symptoms of asthma. Individuals who already were asthmatics, who had chronic bronchitis or emphysema who had suffered lung were excluded.

But the greatest risk of asthma has been discovered in this work does not apply to heavy smokers, those smoking more than 15 cigarettes per day or who smoked heavily throughout her life.

Researchers believe that this fact, qualifying surprising, could be explained “if one considers that these heavy smokers sooner they quit, as they feel any kind of respiratory problems, before they can diagnose asthma.”

Also, note that each person differently tolerant components and snuff could be that smokers over 15 cigarettes daily irritant better bear in cigarettes.

According to the Italian National Institute for Food Research and Nutrition in Rome, responsible flavonoid that acts as an antioxidant in the blood vessels and prevents plaque formation of atherosclerosis is another property that is also found in the cocoa.

However, researchers stress the antioxidant effect of cocoa is normally inhibited by the action of the milk with the accompanying both your presentation as much soluble tablets of chocolate consumption more widespread.

A small black bar of chocolate without milk contributes to the (according to studies), many flavonoids as six apples, more than four rates of tea or two glasses of red wine.

The saturated fat in cocoa butter does not increase bad cholesterol, by contrast, seems to help the liver to remove excess blood lipid that. Nor blemishes on the face as we believe and do not believe for abuse of chocolate, although it is obvious that a healthy diet always improves skin condition, acne is chocolates Enjoy eating due to excessive production of sebum caused by hormonal factors, and not diet.

And with regard to migraine, research says that chocolate does not cause headaches, do not walk him blaming the poor chocolate accumulated frustrations and anxieties.

Of caries, it is true that there are more cariogenic foods than others and chocolate for their sugar content, is among those at highest risk. However, if these and other cariogenic foods consumed with meals and before brushing, risk and danger go away.

But do not Traumas woman …

Meditation and mental discipline can change the mode of working of the brain. A meditation by Buddhist monks allowed to reach unusual levels of consciousness through the creation of neural connections that do not exist in individuals who do not usually do contemplative practices.

So researchers have proven that the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA) has since 1992 undertaken a collaborative study with the Dalai Lama and other Buddhist monks highly skilled in the art of meditation.

The latest results of this study, neuroscientists led by Richard Davidson and Antoine Lutz, have been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences’.

So far the phenomena of inner peace and serenity gained through meditation is interpreted using metaphysical forces. Today, through this study, the effects of these practices have been ‘translated’ the language of science.

Buddhist monks have long been practicing meditation have high activity in a particular area of the brain, just behind the left forehead, the left prefrontal cortex.

However this area has almost no activity in individuals who do not practice meditation, although he is ‘living’ more frequently in those with an optimistic nature and a little anxious.

A brain changing
The most accepted version a few years ago on the development of our brains showed that neural connections are fixed when we are babies and children and does not change during adulthood.

But in the last decade, new imaging techniques have allowed to observe changes in normal neuronal connections during adulthood and has begun to speak of so-called ‘neuroplasticity’ or continuation of brain development during adulthood.

Today, many studies show that the brain is not static but changes dynamically throughout the life of man.
In view of these scientists, the study results indicate that the brain, with proper training, can develop functions and neuronal connections ever imagined.
