CARNAVAL DATING DOES NOT REACH CHRISTMAS

By: | Tags:

There are proverbs, adages, maxims and aphorisms that are nothing but catchwords, and this is one of those, unless we’re talking about a simple dalliance, a flirt, an adventure or a caprice. But when it gets to passion that does not fade, the romance may well last a lifetime, as long as we know how to take care of ourselves, next to our daily company, to always be a more loving person, prettier, healthier and happier. And with this in mind, we will be able to transmit to our children […]

LITHIUM BATTERIES AND LIGHT WEIGHT

By: | Tags:

The Jornal Económico was saying at the end of last year that Goldman Sachs named lithium the “new gasoline” and that Portugal is already where different companies are exploring this raw material. This subject is making the news, but not for health purposes, where lithium also has an important role. In the human body, lithium is a mineral that competes with iode at the thyroid level.

The known causes of lifestyle-related breast cancer have so far included alcohol consumption, lack of physical exercise, obesity, choice of contraceptives, hormone therapy, and breast-feeding. The new research may add an imbalanced diet during pregnancy to this list, suggesting that eating foods that are […]

DIET, THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND OBESITY

By: | Tags:

Consuming a balanced diet and eating the recommended amounts of nutrients will help maintain normal immune function. Vitamins A, C, and D, and minerals — including zinc — play a role in the functioning of the immune system. If you eat a balanced diet, you will have no need to take supplements of these vitamins and minerals and taking extra will not particularly help your immune system. Populations that are malnourished are known to be more susceptible to infection, and there is some evidence that deficiencies in certain micronutrients alter […]

TROUBLE LOSING WEIGHT?

By: | Tags:

Some people find it harder to lose weight than others, but why is this? A new study has identified a molecule in fat cells that could also be responsible for it. Researchers found that the fat cells of people who are obese show higher expression of a molecule called lysyl oxidase (LOX). LOX is associated with fibrosis, or “scarring,” of fat tissue, which, as previous research has shown, can hamper weight loss efforts. It is thought that half of the Portuguese people are obese, or risk to become obese, which […]

By promoting the growth of gut bacteria, dietary fiber could prevent obesity, metabolic syndrome, and unwanted changes in the intestine, according to a study from Georgia State University. Obesity is linked with metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that include hypertension, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal triglyceride or cholesterol levels. As obesity rates continue to soar, understanding how these conditions work together and what can be done to prevent them is more pressing than ever. In fact, as Western society struggles under the weight of […]
