Delicious chocolate. So good in our body to create a dependency. Acts on the production of endorphins and makes us feel happy, calm and positive. And then he terribly fat. But there is very good news: a group of researchers at the University of Birmingham has managed to produce a very low calorie chocolate (in which vegetable fats were replaced by water) that has the same flavor and aroma of the traditional. Spectacular idea of being able to eat chocolate, without jeopardizing the line and also to health
Researchers are now working on a mayonnaise ‘thin’ which might also help fights the pangs of hunger: the oil, in fact, is replaced with water, which becomes gelatinous when it comes into contact with acids in the stomach.

Chocolate low-fat “is composed of particles of water combined with the crystals of cocoa butter. The result ‘a chocolate bar, made for 50 percent of water, which has the same taste, smell and also creates the same sensation in the mouth of the traditional one. I wonder if it’s true. Usually I do not think much too light products, and you?

Pros and Cons of Diet Pills

Thursday, January 28th, 2010


For decades, this achievement is pursued without success, although several systems have been marketed that have plagued the economy for their consumers, because they are never cheap, but they do not achieve the results they promise. Without going any further, the former Playboy bunny who died last year, Anne Nicole Smith, promoted a diet pills took her to court. A group of women who tried with little success found the former model had deceived them.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of USA approved the first nonprescription drug for weight loss. The drug is called ‘Alli’ and its therapeutic mechanism is to reduce fat absorption in the intestine. It’s a new version of ‘Xenical’ approved in 1999 for cases of morbid obesity, but this one needed the prescription. The ‘Xenical’ is opposed to consumption has been associated with increased colon cancer cases.

The dose of “there” will be less than the ‘Xenical’, so the health authorities have estimated that the prescription is not required. However, there are a number of restrictions to use: is indicated for persons 18 years or more are recommended along with a low fat diet and an exercise program, can be consumed up to three times a day, and not indicated for people who are overweight. This means that pill ‘miracle’ that we would lose kilos without any effort and without depriving us of anything does not exist yet.

So, between the pros of diet pills are: the convenience and relatively rapid effects if you follow the remaining prompts (diet and exercise).

Among the cons: lack of knowledge about their effects on long-term health. Drugs that are decades in the market even today are offering new information on their consumption. The lack of efficacy if treatment is not accompanied by adequate food and an ongoing program of exercise.

    The basic function is to keep bones strong and yet with a certain elasticity. In addition to keeping teeth with the strength to be able to chew and eat properly.

    There are many foods that contain calcium, including nuts, legumes, vegetables, fish, shellfish, including eggs, but of all milk and its derivatives are the major source of dietary calcium.

    It is therefore recommended to take a sufficient quantity of whole milk for children under 2 years and then the semi or skimmed over a lifetime. Furthermore it should take cheese, butter, yogurt, etc.. daily.

This problem is compounded in women after menopause, because the lack of estrogen causes the calcium is not in the bones and lost. Menopause is a time of greater needs for calcium and treatments that can be absorbed into the bones.

    Eat better for less

    Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

    healthy eating

    Eating healthy does not have to be for the rich. Although healthy foods are notoriously expensive, not always. The full loaf, for example, is typically more expensive than white bread, but a baggy potato is cheaper than a patatillas and an apple is usually cheaper than a candy bar.

    1. Reduce convenience foods: these foods, like vegetables and chopped, cooked chicken, shredded cheese bags, salad bags packed and prepared foods are more expensive than others because we are paying the work done to give us the work then. It is cheaper to wash and prepare our own lettuce or chop vegetables ourselves that we are going to use, plus we can save on trips to the supermarket.

    2. Avoid fast food: Instead of consuming products are individually wrapped or instant purchase originals or commodities. For example, buy normal rice instead of instant, natural vegetables instead of canned and real potatoes instead of mashed potato packages. Replace instant oatmeal cereal, puffed rice cereal or other generics. Not only are cheaper, but also tend to be healthier.
