TURMERIC


TURMERIC, appears to reduce inflammation. Several studies suggest that it might ease symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, like pain and inflammation. Other compounds in turmeric might also be medicinal. Some experts say that turmeric is more powerful as a medicine than its isolated components.
In lab tests, curcumin seems to block the growth of certain kinds of tumors. One study showed that turmeric extract containing curcumin could -- in some cases -- stabilize colorectal cancer that wasn't helped by other treatments.
Other preliminary lab studies suggest that curcumin or turmeric might protect against types of lung damage, skin diseases, Alzheimer's disease, heart failure, colitis, stomach ulcers, and high cholesterol. 
  1. Antioxidant:
    Curcumin is a strong antioxidant which reduced oxidative damage to the cells and consequently helps to protect cell DNA from harm.
  2. Anticancer:
    one of the major curcumin benefits is its inhibitive effect on cancer cells. By destroying the blood vessels that feed cancer tumors it prevents or slows their growth. In clinical studies, curcumin extract has been shown to increase the efficacy of many anticancer drugs.
  3. Respiratory system protection:
    TURMERIC was reported to have antiallergic properties! It hampers the inflammatory process occurring in chronic conditions, such as: chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, acute lung injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and allergic asthma.
  4. Anti-inflammatory:
    The process of inflammation plays a major role in most chronic illnesses, including neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, pulmonary, metabolic, autoimmune and malignant diseases. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties - Curcumin can play an important role in the prevention and treatment of various pro-inflammatory chronic diseases.

SODAS y REFRESCOS



El cosumo regular de las sodas terminan haciendote eliminar el CALCIO, EL MAGNESIO Y EL ZINC contenido en nuestros huesos, asi como tambien el sodio, el electrolito y el agua. Es por esto que ahora se presentan muchos mas casos de ninos adolescentes que a su temprana edad padecen de OSTEOPOROSIS !!! y aparte de "descalcificar a la persona, su consumo excesivo puede producir también taquicardia, gastritis, insomnio y sobrepeso


CONSUMA JUGO DE FRUTAS
Por favor, tome la decision correcta, ELIMINELAS de su hogar !!!, empieze usted poniendo el buen ejemplo y ACOSTUMBRE  a toda su familia a tomar jugos de frutas naturales, limonada que es excelente para la salud,  o simplemente agua que resulta mucho mas saludable para su organismo. Garantice así su bienestar físico y su integridad espiritual con esos frutos de la Madre Naturaleza. 

Las gaseosas estimulan la formación de piedras en los riñones. Contienen ácido fosfórico evitando la correcta absorción del calcio y aumentando el riesgo de descalcificación, osteoporosis y aumentando las posibilidades de sufrir fracturas. Esto también irrita la piel y membranas mucosas.

El gas que tiene ocasiona deficiencia de vitamina B6, esencial para metabolizar los carbohidratos y proteínas. Su alto contenido en sodio provoca hipertensión arterial.

Según algunos estudios beber soda es malo ya que provoca taquicardia, debilidad ósea y parálisis muscular. La cafeína altera la función cerebral y el sistema nervioso causando hiperactividad, nerviosismo e insomnio.

Las gaseosas hacen aumentar el peso provocando obesidad o incluso desarrollando diabetes tipo 2. Y si pensabas que tomar sodas dietéticas te librarán de esto, no es cierto. Varias investigaciones aseguran que estas bebidas “light” provocan daños cerebrales, pérdida de memoria y confusión mental.

Consumir más de una lata de gaseosa diaria puede aumentar el riesgo de desarrollar el síndrome metabólico, que puede contribuir al desarrollo de las enfermedades cardiovasculares, según un estudio de investigadores de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Boston, en los Estados Unidos.


Las Sodas puede condicionar la obesidad infantil?
Los refrescos están compuestos básicamente por azúcares, por lo tanto son una fuente rápida y concentrada de energía. Algunos estudios dan una relación de casi el 35% entre el consumo de gaseosas y la prevalencia de obesidad.
¿Cuál es la relación entre el consumo de refrescos y la presencia de caries dentales?
En la placa dental se encuentra una bacteria que desdobla los azúcares contenidos en las gaseosasproduciendo ácido láctico, el cual disuelve 
el esmalte dental en tan solo 10 minutos despues de su consumo , provocando caries. Asimismo estas bebidas son en general ácidas, lo que acarrea mayor daño para los dientes.

¿Puede presentar hiperactividad un niño que consume refrescos?
Se ha asociado el comportamiento agresivo destructivo del niño con el consumo de azúcares. Existen evidencias de que un 40% de estos chicos mejoran su comportamiento reduciendo el consumo de estos elementos (eliminando colorantes, saborizantes artificiales y cafeína). Obviamente no es ésta la única causa del problema, pero pareciera tener alguna relación. 

Conocido es el efecto estimulante de la cafeína, contenida en casi todas las gaseosas (colas), que puede manifestarse como excitación psicomotríz o dificultad para conciliar el sueño.


Según estudios realizados en Estados Unidos, las gaseosas oscuras incluyen colorantes que han sido relacionados con el cáncer al pulmón y al hígado y tiroides.

Smile


Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. There's a good chance your mood will change for the better. Smiling can trick the body into helping you change your mood.
Stress can really show up in our faces. Smiling helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down, and overwhelmed. When you are stressed, take time to put on a smile. 
Smiling helps the immune system work better. When you smile, immune function improves .
Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, natural pain killers, and serotonin. Together these three make us feel good. Smiling is a natural drug.
The muscles we use to smile lift the face, making a person appear younger. Don't go for a face lift, just try smiling your way through the day

Blood Sugar Levels



 
Maintaining healthy, normal blood sugar levels is important to overall health because of the negative impact that high blood sugar levels can cause on the body. Blood sugar levels are determined by how many carbohydrates are ingested, how rapidly the body breaks down carbohydrates into simple sugars and absorbs these sugars into the bloodstream, and how rapidly cells uptake the sugar from the blood. 
What types of foods contain carbohydrates?
Breads
Cereals
Rice
Pasta
Beans
Fruits
Vegetables
Milk and dairy products
Are all carbohydrates the same?
No. There are good carbohydrates and bad carbohydrates. Good carbs include fruits, vegetables and whole grain foods because they are loaded with vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytochemicals, which all promote optimal health. Bad carbs include foods high in sugar, low in fiber and low in nutrients, such as sweets, chips, crackers and other processed foods. 

There are two types of carbohydrates: simple and complex.
 Simple carbohydrates are absorbed very easily from the intestine into the bloodstream and, as a result, have the most rapid effect on blood sugar levels because they are absorbed so readily. Foods containing simple carbs include processed items such as cookies, candies and chips. Fruits represent a natural form of simple carbohydrates.
 Complex carbohydrates, which include fiber and starches, are also made up of sugars, but they exist in longer chains so that they take longer to break down in the intestine and thus are absorbed into the bloodstream at a slower rate. Foods containing complex carbs include vegetables, whole grains and beans. The majority of carbohydrate calories that you consume should come from complex carbohydrates.
How do carbohydrates affect blood sugar levels?
Both simple and complex carbohydrates are broken down in the intestines to their smaller disaccharide counterparts: glucose, fructose and galactose. Once broken down, they are absorbed through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. The rate at which these simple sugars are absorbed into the bloodstream is what affects how high your blood sugar levels rise. 
Why is fiber beneficial to the body and how does it affect blood sugar levels?
Fiber is a plant material that is largely resistant to the body’s digestive enzymes so that much of it moves through the intestines and is excreted from the body. As a result, it retains water and supports normal bowel movement because it keeps the bolus of food moving through the intestines. In addition, it helps slow the absorption of sugars into the bloodstream, helping to support healthy blood sugar levels.
