Vitamin E is closely related to the antioxidant powers of aging wrestlers, cancels the negative effect of free radicals in the skin, but if a defect of this vitamin can be harmful, just as excessive as well, so it is recommended Drug taking vitamin E only under medical supervision.

Vitamin E was discovered in 1922 and has since gone unnoticed until they discovered their cell renewal rejuvenating qualities that are revolutionizing the world of cosmetics and health foods.

Benefits of Vitamin E

This vitamin works as an antioxidant, ie helps prevent some of the daily effects of oxidation caused in part because we breathe oxygen and partly because we are exposed to powerful oxidizers such as ozone, cigarette smoke, etc..

Oxidation of our body is basically “that are damaging our tissues are sometimes almost imperceptibly, but this damage accumulates and ultimately causes disease,” said Dr. Amabile. The idea of using vitamin E is in a preventive way for us to reach maturity with better health.

The low-calorie sweeteners are calorie free and does not raise levels of blood glucose. Do not count as carbohydrates, fats or any other exchange.

SACCHARIN
Saccharin can be used to sweeten foods hot (is stable at high temperatures) and cold. It has a relative sweetness of 300 to 500 times more than sucrose (sugar). Used as a tabletop sweetener in drinks, juices, ice creams, jellies, chocolates, pharmaceuticals and others.
In 1977 security was questioned for its link to cancer, but then conducted scientific research has been shown that there was no risk.

His problem is that by interacting chemically with sulfonamides may cause hives in people allergic to these products and because it crosses the placenta other sweeteners are recommended during pregnancy.

The dessert is no longer prohibited
Experts say that sugary foods can be eaten if they are considered food in the same way as any other carbohydrate.
The use of sweeteners, both natural and man-in replacement of sugar is catching on as usual in the daily use of food.
There are many reasons to stop using sugar, the main one that although glucose is the basis for our immediate use calorie sugar is just sugar crystallized and the benefits of consumption are much smaller than the harm it causes .

In fact it is largely the source of obesity, diabetes and many other nutritional problems that make it increasingly greater number of people leaving the consumption of sugar, pure and simple and look for alternatives.

The use of thermal mud cosmetics, health and beauty

The skin consists of three layers. The most superficial is called epidermis, dermis the middle layer, and the deep layer hypodermis. The outer layer called epidermis, is covered with keratin, a protein called cornea firm. The dead cells are removed from the skin surface and are replaced by new cells coming from the base of the epidermis. This constantly changing and clearing without notice every 28 days. This area also produces skin pigment melanin.

The epidermis consists of a series of layers (from inside out), the basal layer formed by a single layer of cells with mitotic activity and from which they move up the cells of the other extracts, the stratum spinosum or mucous with polyhedral cells, cytoplasmic presented as a spine, the stratum granulosum, with one or two layers of flat cells with granules of lipids in the stratum lucidum and stratum corneum anucteadas cells, formed as above stated by dead cells, that are flattened keratinized evolve as small plates.

Beneath the epidermis is the dermis which contains hair follicles, sebaceous glands and sweat glands, nerve endings and blood vessels.

This extracellular matrix contains collagen and elastin, two proteins which function supportive of the skin, contribute to resilience and resistance.

In the extracellular matrix, elastin polypeptides trope, which are precursors of elastin, are covalently crosslinked by the action of lisioxidasa, an enzyme that requires input from COPPER. Without the presence of this element decreased elastic fibers and fragmented rapidly, producing an enzymatic block. This also plays a key role in the production of collagen molecules. Deteriorates when the dermis, the skin loosens and wrinkles, elasticity is lost.

Finally, the deeper layer hypodermis containing fatty tissues and capillaries. It acts as a shock absorber, thermal insulator and as a reservoir of nutrients.

According to one study, a medicinal plant used in Indian traditional medicine to treat diabetes seems to lower blood sugar and insulin levels in the same way as prescription drugs.

Researchers have prescribed extracts from the plant called Salacia oblonga to 39 healthy adults, and the results are promising. The highest dose (1 000 mg) lowered insulin levels and glucose levels of 29 per 100 and 23 per 100 respectively. These decreases are similar to what occurs with oral medications prescribed to patients with diabetes.

The Salacia oblonga, from certain regions of India and Sri Lanka, binds to intestinal enzymes that break down carbohydrates in the body. These enzymes convert carbohydrates into glucose, the sugar that circulates throughout the body. If the enzyme binds to the Salacia oblonga rather than a carbohydrate, there is less glucose in the blood, which lowers blood sugar and insulin levels.

The study is published in a recent issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. The researchers now plan to establish the optimal dose of Salacia oblonga and time of administration.

They spineless discover how long does this medicinal herb to bind to enzymes that break down carbohydrates. The study participants have taken with their meal, but it could be even more effective before eating. ”

Researchers are also studying the effects of Salacia oblonga in people with diabetes. Many studies have shown that reducing blood sugar reduces the risk of many complications of diabetes such as kidney disease, nerve damage and vision problems, says the researcher. We want see if this herb has the same

In ancient times, this plant was used to cure diseases in the nineteenth century became a drink that preceded the so popular colas. Today, you can prepare this herb-based teas complement the meal.

Among diabetics, the cells of the organism are irrigated with blood containing high levels of glucose. Most cells are able to keep their internal glucose to normal levels. But some cells are able, particularly in the retina and kidney and those lining the walls of arteries and capillaries. These cells are found with high levels of glucose they can not metabolize properly. The consequences can lead to blindness or other cardiac complications, renal or neurological.

Studies several years ago showed that a deficiency of thiamin (vitamin B1) could be responsible for collateral damage caused by diabetes. The problem is that to correct this deficiency would need to consume excessive amounts of thiamine orally, potentially toxic quantities.

Researchers at the University of Washington have circumvented the problem by using intravenous injections of thiamine, a way of avoiding the digestive system and go directly to the cells using smaller quantities of this vitamin.
But to take advantage of thiamine intravenously is certainly not the most convenient for patients.
The problem is that thiamine is a water-soluble vitamin, which makes it much more sensitive and fragile.

There is one form of synthetic thiamine, benfotiamine the discovered by the Japanese in the late 50s. This derivative of thiamine is him, soluble and is much better assimilated than thiamine.

Dr. Michael Brownlee and his colleagues at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York have successfully tested benfotiamine on diabetic rats. They have shown that synthetic vitamin is not effective in lowering blood glucose, but it protects cells from negative effects of glucose too high, the so-called advanced glycation end products (AGE) .

The benfotiamine has been used for over 10 years in Germany to treat the pain of sciatica and neuropathy.

No side effects were noticed by the use of benfotiamine, which would be very safe to use.

Further studies are still underway, but as mentioned by Dr Paul Thornalley University of Essex, “the prospects for using this form of thiamine is very interesting and encouraging.”

It is not easy to get to the pharmacy or benfotiamine stores specializing in natural products. It is necessary to gather information and carry out research. It is possible to get internet.

The night worker, the latest layer or insomniac would be at greater risk of cancer than people sleeping early and especially in a completely dark?

As noted by Dr. George Brainard, a professor of neurology at Thomas Jefferson University who has studied for 20 years the effects of light on human biology, humanity has lived without electric light over thousands and thousands years. The human body is made to be active during the sunny hours of the day, and is made to sleep during the dark of night.

The modern world has changed the rules of nature. The man now has an artificial nighttime lighting, especially strong in large urban centers, and business habits have changed, many people in jobs where hours of work may be the night, let alone night owls who stay active and awake until the wee hours of the morning.

This rhythm of life goes completely against the normal biological rhythms, called circadian rhythm. An internal rhythm, alternating between action and rest, wakefulness and sleep. This natural rhythm that is synchronized with the natural light of day and night.

The rupture of a natural law, which is not without consequences

A 2001 study by the Medical School of Harvard, found that nurses who worked over 30 years with a schedule including appearances at night, there was a rate of breast cancer greater than 36% by compared with nurses working days only.

Following this finding, the researchers multiplied the studies and new results were published recently. The results are even more revealing: a 48% increase in cancer among night workers compared to day workers.
