Shampoos and conditioners cause allergy
Lately some people suffer from certain allergies to the scent of the most common ingredients used in shampoos, conditioners and soaps.
According to EurekAlert website, a research presented at the Sahlgrenska Academy at Gothenburg University, Sweden, found that more than 5% of people who underwent screening test are allergic to linalool oxide.
“Approximately 2% of the total population of Sweden is allergic to linalool oxide,” says Brar Johanna Christensson dermatologist, author of the study.
This may not make much sense, but it is something serious because linalool oxide is widely used as fragrance ingredients. Specifically found in 60% -80% of hygiene products scented liquid soaps and cleaning products for home, and may be hard for people who are allergic to avoid these products explains the expert.
One in five people in Sweden have some kind of contact allergy, nickel being the most common substance that causes eczema, but new research shows that linalool oxide ranks third in the list, then cobalt.
This component is present in many commonly used products and this is probably the reason why a contact allergy is so common this material, “but we know that risk increases as the exposure to the substance increases,” concludes Brar Christensson.

The Diet in The Treatment of Obesity (Part 2)

The most common causes of obesity are overeating first the food and energy, and to a lesser extent: metabolic endocrine disorders (Cushing’s disease, hypothyroidism, etc.)
Certain psychological disorders (Bulimia nervosa), the iatrogenic (related to consumption of certain drugs like steroids, etc.), and in extreme obesity, genetic factors (current research). In all likelihood one of the tasks ahead is to develop preventive level of each country.
These are general recommendations that should be made to the general population from the schools, media, health institutions, etc. They cover a number of indications that must be assumed by the general population (decreased saturated fat intake, increased fiber intake, moderation in intake of sugar, alcohol and salt, etc.) The second approach should be made to individual level, bearing in mind that obesity is a chronic disease and must be treated as such.
The Diet in The Treatment of Obesity (Part 1)
Obesity is a disease that can be defined as the increase in body weight over 15% of its value considered normal, due to increased body fat.
There is a parameter that lets you easily define the existence of obesity, body mass index (BMI):
BMI (kg/m2) = Actual Weight / Height x Height
* Weight in Kg
* Length in meters
Obesity is a carrier of any person with a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater or equal to 30 kg/m2. Body Mass Index (BMI) also serves to classify the different degrees of obesity:
* BMI 30-40 kg/m2, moderate obesity
* BMI> 40 kg/m2, extreme obesity.
In Spain the prevalence of obesity, according to a study led by Javier Aranceta and collaborators in 1995, was 13.4% in men and women aged 25-60 years. What is more worrying is the fact that it is increasing.
Another important aspect from the point of view of morbidity (increased risk of illness) and mortality, is the fact that people with a BMI over 30, have an increased risk of diabetes (excess weight causes a resistance to insulin and may be caused by either a carbohydrate intolerance, but not all obese people are diabetic and vice versa), hypertension (with increasing body mass, the heart must pump more blood, which is an increase in the values of blood pressure)…,
