Do We Need to Drink Eight Glasses of Water a day?


Suggestion that we always hear everywhere is that we should drink a half liter or eight glasses of water a day and night.

Is it true that advice?
Advice is a kind of dogma that has been questioned several years ago in a study by the University of Pennsylvania (USA). Scientists say that drinking more water is not useful and certainly did not help remove more toxins from the body. Whatever amount of water absorbed, in most cases will be disposed of again by the kidneys.
"In fact, drinking large amounts of water are surprisingly actually reduce the ability of the kidney as a filter. Decline slightly, but steadily, "said Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, kidney expert at the University of Pennsylvania. Most drinking water can also cause poisoning (water intoxication).
The water requirement varies among individuals, depending on energy expenditure, diet, and the weather:


Energy

We need 1 ml of water for every calorie that we spend. Women spend an average of 2,000 calories per day so it takes 2 liters of water. Men spend an average of 2500 calories per day so that it requires 2.5 liters of water. But you do not need to drink 2 or 2.5 liters per day to meet your needs.

All food, except sugar and oil, contain water. Fruits and vegetables contain an average of 90% water. When you eat fruits and vegetables in the correct amount is 300 g and 500 g per day, you've got a half liter of water (approximately 700 g). And if you dihindangkan in the form of vegetable soup, you even get more water again.When you eat rice and side dishes, you also get water. Their water content around 60-85%. Remember that most of the water is absorbed when the rice is cooked into the rice. Only a small portion of water that evaporates.
So, if you eat a balanced composition, you get more than 1.5 liters of water every day from the food you eat. You just need to get 0.5 to 1 liter of water from beverages or only 2-5 cups.


Diet and weather

In addition to energy expenditure, water requirements can vary by diet and weather.When you drink plenty of coffee, you will need more fluids. Caffeine causes the urge to urinate (is a diuretic), so that needs to be balanced with the addition of liquids. Salty foods also increase the need for water because salt water is binding.Within a few hours after you eat salty foods, you will feel thirsty, so a glass of water feels very refreshing for you.
Apart from diet, of course you need fluid decreases and increases in different weather. Hot weather make your body needs more fluid to cool the body.Conversely, in cold weather your body tends to not need a lot of fluids.

no need to avoid avocados



To this day there are still misconceptions in society that avocados are not good for health. In fact, various studies show that the avocado fruit was not worthy "enemy."Besides delicious taste, avocados contain many substances that are beneficial for health. If you include people who had been "hostile" avocado, it's time to "repent".

History of avocado

Avocado is a fruit native Central and South America and has been cultivated in the area since 8000 BC. In the mid-17th century, the avocado was introduced to Jamaica and spread to the Asian tropics to the mid-1800s. Avocados are now grown in most tropical and subtropical countries, including almost all over the archipelago.

Promotes heart and cardiovascular health

Avocados contain lots of fat, so in Latin America and even used as a substitute for butter. About 15 percent of the avocado meat is fat. However, avocado is a type of fat is healthy, ie unsaturated fatty acids that help lower cholesterol. In a study on people is high cholesterol, those who consumed a diet high in avocados showed clear health improvements. After a seven-day diet that included avocados, they had a significant reduction in total cholesterol and LDL (bad cholesterol), along with an increase of 11% of HDL (good cholesterol).
In addition to unsaturated fatty acids, avocado is also a good source for potassium, a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure. Potassium in avocados is higher than in medium-sized banana. Adequate intake of potassium may help protect against vascular disease, such as high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke.
Other important nutrients in avocados are beneficial to heart health is folic acid. A cup of avocado meet 23% of the daily requirement for folate. To determine the relationship between folate intake and heart disease, studies have been conducted on more than 80,000 women for 14 years using dietary questionnaires. The researchers found that women who have diets high in folate have a 55% lower risk of heart attack or fatal heart disease.


Inhibits cancer

Avocados contain carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin, alpha-carotene and beta-carotene) plus significant amounts of tocopherols (vitamin E). In a laboratory study by UCLA, published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, carotenoids and tocopherols in avocado inhibit the growth of prostate cancer cells. Another study showed that oleic acid in avocados also offer significant protection against breast cancer.

Improving liver

The results of Japanese studies in rats have shown beneficial to health avocado liver (liver). Researchers at the University of Shizuoka give rat hearts damaged by the toxin galactosamine with 22 different fruits. They are specifically measure the distribution of enzymes in the liver. As a result, avocado most effective in reducing liver damage. The researchers suspect that certain nutrients avocado has a healing effect on the liver, especially if the damage caused by viruses, such as hepatitis.The extent to which research results can be transferred to humans, scientists can not say. It is also not clear how much avocado extract needed and what the effects of chemicals involved. Further study is still needed.
Avocado is also a good source of vitamins A, C, E, K, vitamin B6, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, fiber, potassium, magnesium, and copper. Now, with a myriad of benefits contained in the avocado, unfortunately not to miss this fruit in your menu?


Tips for you

Avocados are almost always harvested before ripe. At room temperature, ripe avocados quickly. Ripe avocado can be described by slightly pressing the skin, which feels soft. You should avoid deep-skinned avocados or gaping cracks because the meat is often already too ripe and may rot. Ripe avocado in the refrigerator remain fresh for two days to a week. It is best to store the fruit in the whole (not sliced) to avoid browning that occurs when meat exposed to air. You can prevent the natural darkening of the avocado flesh with memercikan little lemon juice or vinegar.Eat avocado along with other vegetables or fruits rich in vitamins. A study published in the Journal of Nutrition (March 2005) showed that oleic acid in avocados support the absorption of fat soluble vitamins. Adding avocado to salad increased absorption of alpha-carotene, beta-carotene and lutein respectively 7.2, 15.3, and 5.1 times higher.

health benefits of garlic


Garlic is not just spices, but traditionally also used for various types of workers pengobatan.Para Romans and ancient Egyptians used garlic to increase their physical endurance. In the 20th century, garlic is used to combat a global influenza pandemic. Currently, more than 5,000 scientific publications from around the world have gradually confirmed the health benefits of garlic, which include the nature of antibiotics, anti-cholesterol, anti-hypertensive, anti-fungal and many others.
Garlic health benefits mainly came from two substance contained in it, namely allicin and diallyl sulfide.

Allicin

Allicin is the main active component of garlic. First reported by CJ Cavallito in 1944, allicin is the main ingredient responsible for the broad spectrum of anti-bacterial activity in garlic. Research also shows that allicin plays lowering cholesterol, anti-clotting, anti-hypertensive, anti-cancer, antioxidant and anti-microbial. Because the effect of anti-mushrooms, garlic has long been used as folk medicine to treat skin infections, including athlete's foot (water fleas).
Chemical nature of garlic is extremely complex. Fresh garlic contains an enzyme (called allinase) and alliin, which is contained in different parts of the plant. Unique structure was designed as a defense mechanism against pathogenic soil microbe.When fungi or other soil pathogens attacking garlic, crushed membrane compartment, and within 10 seconds, all the alliin is converted into a new compound called allicin. This is a very efficient weapon because garlic defense system is active only in specific locations for short periods of time, whereas alliin allinase and other equipment stored in each compartment and available for subsequent microbial attacks. Allicin is produced too much can actually be harmful to the plant tissues and enzymes.
Allicin is not found in fresh garlic. This is because fresh garlic consists of 65% water and only contains alliin, allicin is not. One clove of fresh garlic can contain 6-14 mg of alliin per gram. Natural potential is 2.5 to 5.1 mcg of allicin per gram of alliin. To get allicin, garlic should be finely chopped or diuleg. The more refined and intensive cutting, the more allicin is generated and the stronger the effect of the medicine. Allicin, which makes a distinctive odor of garlic minced, quickly broken.Allicin may be damaged if left in place within a few minutes at room temperature or if cooked too long.
Some people prefer a garlic supplement. Garlic pills and capsules have the advantage of not having the stinging smell of garlic. However, the products do not contain allicin. Dried garlic powder contained only allinase and alliin. At equal weight, dried garlic powder alliin levels three times more than fresh garlic. To maintain allinase that are sensitive to stomach acid (which can be converted alliin into allicin), dried garlic powder is usually coated capsule that protects from stomach acid, so that allicin can be produced in the gut.
Diallyl sulfideDiallyl sulfide is another component in garlic is beneficial to health, although not as strong as allicin. Diallyl sulfide is the result of decomposition of allicin, so it is more stable than allicin. Active power does not deteriorate rapidly and can survive after cooking.
Diallyl sulfide do not have anti-fungal like allicin. However, this substance is reported good for blood circulation, help lower bad cholesterol levels and boosts the immune system. Diallyl sulfide is useful to detoxify the cells, thus preventing damage to cells of the liver, intestines and nerves. By supporting the activities of detoxification in the liver, diallyl sulfide can protect the liver during chemotherapy.Garlic may prevent the development of colorectal cancer and cardiovascular disease. Several studies have shown that diallyl sulfide was the one who is primarily responsible for those actions.
Tips for youGarlic is very strong and should be treated with care:
Be careful when chopping garlic. Too many contacts with minced garlic can cause skin irritation.Stop taking garlic if you have allergies. Some people are allergic to garlic.Symptoms of garlic allergy include skin rash, fever and headache.Cooking too long and the use of microwaves to destroy allicin and eliminate health benefits. In order to effect a stronger medication, chopped fresh garlic and mix with food just before serving. Do not add too much garlic, too much garlic can irritate the stomach and may even damage the digestive tract.When you eat garlic supplements, Break consumption with small daily doses but often rather than one large daily dose.If you are taking pharmaceutical medicines, check with your doctor first if you can take garlic supplements. In general, the pharmaceutical drugs and herbal supplements should be given breaks from 2 hours to avoid drug interactions.Do not take garlic supplements if you take blood-thinning medication or drugs that affect the blood (such as aspirin, warfarin, etc.). The nature of the blood of garlic can multiply the effects of the drug to dangerous levels. Garlic also has the potential to disrupt anti-coagulants, and therefore should be avoided before and after surgery.

These fatty acids work against visceral abdominal fat (abdominal fat). Some sources of monounsaturated fatty acids is olive oil, flaxseed oil, canola oil, safflower oil, soybean oil, nuts and seeds such as walnuts, pine nuts, pistachios, roasted pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds), olive , avocados and dark chocolate.

Rabu, 06 April 2011
Clean water needs to be very important. Various kinds of tools and technologies created with the purpose of facilitating to obtain clean water. But as a technology, need an understanding of how to use and care.Norma Alcantar, a scientist from the University of South Florida, USA, seeing is not pulling water purification technology available today, especially for people in developing countries, because not everyone can and are willing to learn and do these two things, the result is a tool and these technologies are ignored and not used at all. Not to mention the cost of care that must be spent in order to maintain optimal equipment still works and water purification technology today.Once again, nature and history have given examples. Together with several colleagues decided to examine a plant that can live on barren land and many were found throughout the world. The choice fell on a cactus or prickly pear Opuntia ficus-Latin languages ​​indica. Cactus species have been used since the 19th century by Mexican society as a water purifier.Alcantar finds that contained thick sap in plants and usually serves as a store of water turned out to be thickening. In the test try with the addition of water and mixed with sediment and bacteria at high levels, it happens clotting sediment particles and settle to the bottom of the water. The sap has also resulted in 98% of the bacteria together and make it easier to filter.Communities in developing countries can heat a piece of cactus to issue a sap, then add it into the water that needs purification, added Alcantar. The prevalence of cactus, affordability and cultural make natural materials such as water purification technologies are interesting. Their work has also been published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.Although seemingly simple, there still seems to be done for the natural technology to function optimally. This was revealed by Colin Hirwitz, head of technology at the company's Catalysts GreenOx catalyst, which highlights there are still some problems that need to be answered, including how much land and water needed to grow cacti for water purification purposes in greater numbers, as well as how a person know that all the bacteria that are attached has been removed from the purified water with the natural technology.Nevertheless alternative natural technology remains attractive, and only needed a few more steps to achieve optimal results. The availability and ease in making the process of appropriate technology.
