There are many drugs that create addiction. This happens when there is a dependence of the effect of said drug or product.

Currently, due to poor air quality, many people have trouble breathing well. When this happens usually go to the pharmacy and buy a nose drop that will ease and allow them to breathe more deeply.

But there is a problem unknown to many people. These drops are addictive. Like drug addicts can not go a day without eating, people who use these drops for a long period of time never leave and become an addiction. Obviously, it has the same effect as the hard drug. But in any case, every addiction is negative and can trigger other long-term problems. (more…)

That food is addictive is nothing new, in fact, as we have explained is capable of creating us sugar addiction by stimulating opioid receptors (the same stimulating drugs such as cocaine). The problem is that often we do not realize the extent of the problem and if we suggest that we have a problem with food would think: “Addicted to food I? If I can actually stop eating whenever Pig Tales … but first I’m going to finish this bag of chips”

Therefore, so that you can get an idea of whether you carry a healthy relationship with food, we will see five signs that can warn us that we are addicted to food:

1. Binge:

Surely everyone at some point in their lives (on a birthday, a wedding or the first time I visited a buffet …) to the stimulus of many foods has been eating and finished off with a nice tribute. (more…)

To make the most of the daylight hours and save energy, twice a year we go forward or backward one hour our watches. A change also affects our body and our state of mind, and many specialists compared with jet lag.

To overcome this possible inconvenience, we must be prepared and know exactly how it affects the time change.

Sleep problems and moodiness

The new schedule affects not only our bodies but also our minds. Some people are bad tempered, more nervous and irritated, because this change may also alter our sleep pattern. This means that we have problems getting to sleep and wake up the next morning. (more…)

Surely if you’re reading this, you may have heard on more than one occasion disservice to our health posed regular consumption of sugary drinks. As you know, there are more than drinks that provide a lot of sugar and calories for nothing. And say to change anything because not contribute more than that, empty calories that are not accompanied by any other nutrient of interest as vitamins and biologically active substances.

But in today’s article, in addition to the above, we want to highlight four undesirable effects that come with taking these drinks regularly.

1. Increased fat around our organs:

It is the last stone fall on the roof of the multinational soft drink: Danish researchers have discovered that drinking a sugary soda leads to a significant increase in accumulation of fat around the liver and skeletal muscle, which may contribute to developing resistance insulin and diabetes.

Have you ever suffered from fungus? Although the most common usually appear on the feet, the truth is to be found in different parts of the body such as in the scalp.

Fungal infections in the scalp hair are produced mostly fungal group dermatophytes, which only colonize keratin structures, ie, epidermis, hair and nails. These cases are called ringworm of the scalp. Its reception is naturally on the skin and hair of man and animals and soil rich in such waste, where humans may become infected and animals.

Contagiousness

The groups of people who have higher risk of getting this infection are the children, especially from infancy to school age, with a tendency to spread to other children. However, in most cases passed through animals. On the other hand, infection is rare in adults. (more…)

Because of the crisis many families are having really badly. Making ends meet is becoming more complicated and so there are people who have learned to live with anxiety. That certainly is not good, but it is a problem with a solution and the ideal is not to resort to the classic pills because that way all it does is put a patch on something we can pursue throughout their lives.

To overcome anxiety must first know. This can manifest itself in three ways that are not necessarily related, but can live with the patient simultaneously. They are:

Subjective cognitive

At this level, it is the experience, anxiety can be perceived as a difficulty making decisions, thinking or concentrating. Also of concern, hypervigilance, sense of loss of control, stress, insecurity, fear, feelings of discomfort, negative thoughts about ourselves, others fear that the realize our difficulties, negative anticipations, strong perception of physiological changes ( respiratory, cardiac, etc.) … (more…)

A study by researchers at the Institute for Aging Research, found that the intake of dairy products, particularly milk and yogurt, is associated with increased bone mineral density at the hip, but not in the spine. Furthermore, as this research seems that not all act like milk, have found it as cream consumption may be associated with low bone mineral density.

These results, published on Friday February 1 in the journal Archives of Osteoporosis, suggest that not all dairy products are equally beneficial to promote good bone density.

The lead author of the study and researcher at the Instutute for Aging Research, Dr Shivani Sahni recalls that: (more…)

The question with which we titled the article today seems a little more philosophical than scientific, will think, but to think philosophy other blogs will specialize, tranquility, because we are moving more towards the field of psychology.

As I have hammered a tod’s in times of high school and / or college, this question was done by the great philosophers and thinkers, and has endured for centuries, not quite answer for sure, because each of them had an opinion and different response. Some thought that we are born well and our nature is corrupted by society, and others, on the contrary, thought that basically we are bad but that society controls our nature to live together in peace. Now psychology has new answers.

According to some experiments conducted by Yale University in the U.S., the best way to demonstrate the nature of human goodness or badness is to look at the babies, they are a wonderful showcase of emotions with little cultural influence, and no friends yet, without ideology and without having seen movies, read books or have had any other outside influence. Moreover, recall that when we are babies barely know how to control our own bodies and our minds are really innocent, we have not been “corrupted” or “controlled” by the company. (more…)

We’ve talked repeatedly about the evils of alcohol. Of how alcohol can affect our dear brain, or how bad you feel the hangover. But obviously for many items that we publish, alcohol will still be considered a good model of leisure and entertainment, and is something that probably would not be able to change. But, to continue enjoying it as a mode of entertainment, news come a curious cubes warning you to stop drinking.

If, as you read it that is the new invention devised by a scientist from the Massachusetts Institute of (better known as MIT, its acronym in English). This researcher has designed a kind of special ice cubes for use in alcoholic beverages, besides getting our drink cool (for that is the role of cubes …), has attached a device to warn us when to stop drinking tap , if you do not want to end up doing something that would embarrass us the next day.

The scientist in question is a student named Dhairya Dand. And how could it be otherwise, the inspiration came just after excessive alcohol intake led him to the hospital. It seems that the good lord wants to repeat the feat, but this time without ending up in the health center imagine, Smart boy. (more…)

Although it may seem that outlandish and trendy diets have only begun to emerge today with the trend of caring image and body worship, the truth is that as long that being smoky is managing to achieve results their food intake.

Already in ancient Greece some written report different procedures and strategies that athletes carried out to make the most of. Highlights the curious belief that each competitor had to eat one type of meat by modality or (do not know how much to be true) intake of one of most successful athletes at that time, Milo of Croton, which consisted apparently in consume 9 kg of meat, 9 kg of bread and 5 liters of wine diluted with water.

Luckily by then have already sensible thinkers. Hippocrates in 400 BC wrote two books titled: “The regime in acute” and “regime” where food and hinted that it might not be enough. Therefore, remarked that the balance between food and exercise was the best preventive medicine.

But obviously not all enlightened minds which have given the history and the nonsense and authors in food occur. And not to lead you to confusion, we remind that the GREP-AEDN has made a review (you can see by clicking here) in which we teach the general characteristics that allow us to distinguish whether a particular diet, product or method is a “diet miracle ” or else it is a good and healthy food.

However, for the list we suggest below with diets strangest of history, you will not need much thought to realize that this is not a desirable food. Consider:

Chewing and spitting

In the early twentieth century, the American Horace Fletcher decided that a good way to lose weight was chewing and spitting in abundance. Your diet proposed chew food to extract as “nutritious” and then spit out the fibrous matter that remains in the mouth. This type of diet would save time daily to use in the bathroom, because I really do not have anything to evacuate.

The solitary

This proposal stands, at least, by the folly of those who could have put it into practice themselves or, worse, with their patients. It consisted of introducing, usually through a tablet or pill, the larvae of Taenia solium or Taenia saginata, commonly known as the lonely earthworms. Thus over time, these larvae thrive and become a great intestinal parasite that facilitates weight loss, but also nutrient malabsorption, abdominal pain, anemia and could even be fatal if a bowel blockage or perforation.

The rich vinegar

Neither “Diets of the famous” nor have begun to be fashionable now. In early 1800, the poet Lord Byron was one of the first celebrities to create buzz about their diet. Although it is unclear who took to stay slim and pale popularized an almost vegetarian diet consisted mainly eat vinegar. To clean and purging your body daily drank vinegar and ate potatoes dipped in it.

What does not kill you fat

And never better. Although unknowingly, in the nineteenth century many people used magic remedies for weight loss that hid dangerous and harmful components such as arsenic. In fact, according to the BBC says the author of “Calories and Corsets: A History of the Diet in the last 2000 years,” Louise Foxcroft, was very common to see ” charlatans posing as experts on diets to promote products.’
