Brazil authorizes the deployment of overseas stem cell transplant
The Brazilian government authorized the dispatch of samples of bone marrow stem cells and blood abroad to be used for transplants, which allow the country to collaborate with networks of international donors, officials said.
Stem cells must belong to people involved in the Brazilian Registry Bone Marrow Donors Volunteers (Redoma), as stated in the decree that was published in the Official Journal of the Union.
Samples can be sent both bone marrow and blood, and umbilical cord blood or placenta.
The responsibility for the necessary legal formalities for the shipment will be borne by the Secretariat of Health Care, while the National Cancer Institute is responsible for managing the paperwork required for the efficient registration of donors.

Cooking techniques: 3 healthy cooking methods
A healthy cooking is a good start to improving your health. A preparation for eating healthy makes your daily meals healthier and tastier. Cooking healthy does not mean you must become a chef or invest in expensive cookware.
3 tips to cook more healthy:
1) Use fats wisely for healthy food
All fats are not bad. Choose unsaturated fats (like olive oil) instead of saturated fats (like butter). But use good fats in moderation anyway, because all fats (whether good or bad) are loaded with calories.
2) Buy unprocessed foods to your kitchen
Choose whole grains instead of processed grains. Whole grains and brown rice come bulgur have kept their sound intact and therefore provide more fiber, B vitamins, magnesium, zinc and other nutrients.
3) Incorporate more fruits and vegetables for a healthy cooking
Most people do not consume enough. Try to include between 5 and 13 servings of fruit per day to your cooking. Choose fruits and vegetables of various colors to meet your needs in antioxidants and vitamins.

During these moments spent together, you can teach your children healthy food choices, how to read labels, portion control. In doing so, you raise children who will grow up and become adults who love to cook healthy meals.
Do not reward your children with food
It is a usual temptation to want to reward your children for ice cream or sweets when they did well at school or when they do something you enjoy. By rewarding your children with food, you make them take a bad habit.
Instead, take your children to the cinema to see a film, allow them to spend more time with their friends, praise them verbally acknowledge their achievement in a way that does not include food.
