Chocolate



Lovers of dark chocolate should temper its appetite, and in much smaller quantities consumed this delicacy, experts say. It turned out that he is not as useful as previously thought.

A number of studies have shown that it is in dark chocolate contains a large amount of procyanidins - flavonoids, which have a positive effect on the heart and lower blood pressure. In that dark chocolate is superior to the properties of milk and white species. However, as it became known as a result of the experiments, a dark chocolate contains more calories and saturated fat.
For example, 40 grams (4-7 slices) chocolate (85% cocoa content) contain 227 calories and 12 grams of saturated fat. This represents 60% of the daily consumption rates. And in the same quantity of milk chocolate and calories (210 calories) and saturated fat (7 grams) is somewhat smaller. This represents 37% of the daily requirement.

Based on the results of research, nutritionists recommend that lovers of dark chocolate consumed no more than 1-2 cloves of goodies every day. And sometimes it is best to replace the chocolate with red apples. It turned out that one apple contained the same amount of beneficial procyanidins, how much and in 47 grams of dark chocolate, but less than 150 calories.

Antibiotics and ear


Scientists from the Netherlands conducted a study and concluded that treatment with antibiotics can lead to ear infections in children. Repeated use Amoxicillin increases the risk of disease by 20%.

The results showed that 63% of children treated with antibiotics for 3-year period have been observed cases of recurrent ear infections. In 43% of children who did not use antibiotics, recurrence of symptoms was observed. But the risk of the need for surgery in these patients increased by 9%.

The study involved 168 children aged 6 months to 2 years. In the group of children treated with amoxicillin, in 47 out of 75 patients re-diagnosed ear infection.

Researchers recommend that physicians as possible as infrequently as possible to resort to the treatment of ear infections Amoxicillin. Antibiotics weaken the protective properties of the organism and infection, "get used" and are more resistant to drugs.

With women and patients with diabetes more difficult to conceive



High levels of saturated fatty acids, which can be found in the ovaries of obese women and women suffering from type 2 diabetes can prevent the development of the embryo and lead to an unsuccessful pregnancy.

This may explain why women with metabolic disorders can not conceive normally, according to an article published in the journal PLoS ONE. Researchers found: people in this group tend to absorb more risk of being stored in body fat. As a result, increases the level of saturated fatty acids in the ovaries. And they have a toxic effect on the developing oocyte before ovulation, says the head of research Professor Joe Leroy from the University of Antwerp.

It turned out embryos with a less active metabolism are more likely to result in normal pregnancies. A high level of saturated fatty acids increased the metabolism of amino acids, altered oxygen consumption, glucose and lactate. Moreover, although the fatty acids do not interfere with the egg to develop two-celled stage, their number who reach the level of blastocysts significantly decreased.

Full people lose weight is not necessarily


Employees at York University in Toronto tested the 6 th complete the Americans for the 16-year period. Obtained information about mortality compared with the same data in slender people.

As a result, the researchers found that healthy, but fat people tend to weigh more than their peers in childhood, with the feel happier and less anxious to get rid of the hated by many pounds. Such people tend to be active and make the diet of healthy foods.

"Our work suggests that not all full of people should lose weight. Moreover, an attempt to lose weight may be more dangerous than the presence of increased weight. But then the man must lead a healthy lifestyle, eat right, move ", - stressed the head of research, Jennifer Cook.

Experts from Harvard University, in turn, claim, just two slices of bacon a day increases the risk of developing diabetes by more than 50%. Also increases the risk of one sausage, a small burger or a couple slices of salami.

The problem of obesity



Problems associated with obesity are numerous. Obesity - it's not just a cosmetic problem. This is a health risk. A person with 40% of excess weight two times greater likelihood of premature death compared with a person of average weight. This is due to the fact that obesity is associated with several serious medical conditions, including:

- Heart disease and stroke
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Cancer
- Gallbladder disease
- Osteoarthritis
- Gout

Breathing problems such as sleep apnea (when a person stops breathing for short periods during sleep) and asthma.
As a rule, doctors agree that obese people often have problems with their health. People who have 20% or more overweight, can greatly improve your health, losing weight. Many experts on obesity say that people who have less than 20% of excess weight over ideal must still try to get rid of them if they have been one of the following risk factors:
Hereditary predisposition to certain chronic diseases. In humans, close relatives who suffered from heart disease or diabetes, increased chance of developing these diseases in the presence of obesity.


Underlying disease.

High blood pressure, high cholesterol or blood sugar - all warning signs of some obesity-related diseases.

The figure in the shape of an apple. People who have excess fat is concentrated in the abdomen and surrounding areas have a higher risk of developing heart disease, diabetes or cancer than people with the same weight, but with the figure of a pear-shaped (when the bulk of fat is concentrated on the hips and buttocks).
Fortunately, even a small weight loss of 5-10 kg can significantly improve health, such as lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Medication Lapses In Health Care System Pose Risk For One In Four Older Patients Entering Home Health Care, USA

About 28 percent of elderly patients were found to be at risk for harmful medication interactions or drug duplications when they were admitted to home care, according to a new study by the Center for Home Care Policy & Research.

The study also found that during the course of a home care episode, nearly a quarter of patients age 65+ experienced one or more symptoms or signs of a problem or complication related to their drug regimen. Medication-related problems - including falls related to anti-anxiety drugs, and weakness or confusion related to certain cardiac drugs - were targeted so that home care staff could take preventive action.

"Older home care patients often have more than one chronic condition and multiple doctors who prescribe multiple medications, including new prescriptions following a hospitalization," said Penny H. Feldman, Ph.D., director of the Center for Home Care Policy & Research (the Center), Visiting Nurse Service of New York.

Patients with chronic illness take as many as six to eight medications, with 20 percent taking nine or more medications, when they first enter into home care. Each additional medication increases the risk of an adverse interaction between two or more drugs, including over-the-counter preparations.

"Home care nurses and nurse managers are uniquely positioned to reconcile patients' entire medication regimen - both prescription and over-the-counter drugs - when they transition into home care, and to watch for signs of medication-related problems over time," said Dr. Feldman. "However, frontline nurses often lack the necessary tools, information and clinical guidance to consistently perform these critical assessments."

The Center launched the Geriatric CHAMP (Curricula for Homecare Advances in Management and Practice) Program to test whether state-of-the-art training and support in medication management and quality improvement would empower staff and lead to better practice.

"The good news," reported Dr. Feldman, "is that our data show that CHAMP's evidence-based, medication management training makes a marked difference in the capacity of home care agencies to minimize older patients' medication risks."

The Center's medication risk findings are based on data from 3300 patient records examined as part of evaluating the medication course of the CHAMP Program. The data come from the patients of 165 frontline nurse managers in 50 home care agencies across the nation (see list below) who graduated from the Geriatric Medication Management course. CHAMP, spearheaded by the Center since 2005 and funded by the Atlantic Philanthropies and The John A. Hartford Foundation going forward, is the first national, evidence-based geriatric quality improvement initiative in home care.

"The Institute of Medicine listed medication management as a top priority for improving the nation's health care quality nearly a decade ago. Our evidence shows that home care agencies face many challenges as they seek to incorporate consistent, comprehensive medication management into daily practice," said Dr. Feldman. "Nevertheless, significant improvements are achievable."

The CHAMP evaluation compiled systematic medication management data from CHAMP participants before and after they completed the 10-month CHAMP medication course. Patient records showed significant improvement on key medication management measures.

• Comprehensive medication assessments increased from half of older patients to 76 percent.
• Identification of possible signs of a medication-related complication, such as serious bruising in a patient taking a blood thinning medication, increased from less than half the time to 60 percent.
• Alerting patients' doctors to potentially harmful drug interactions or duplication of drugs increased from 45 to 70 percent.
• Overall, these improvements ranged from 30 to 56 percent compared to care prior to CHAMP participation.

CHAMP's Geriatric Medication Management course addresses key issues of medication management, including: medication reconciliation; medication errors and adverse drug events; medications inappropriate for use by older adults; drug/drug interactions; helping patients adhere to their medication regimen; and communicating with physicians about medication-related problems.

The CHAMP program also includes a course devoted to improving geriatric pain management. This year the CHAMP program expanded and is establishing a national Community of Practice for geriatric homecare excellence. The Community will be based on the nation's first evidence-based recommendations specific to geriatric homecare.

Bleach in teabags health risks

First part of this post I will dedicate about bleach

Bleach in teabags health risks

Bleach (chlorine) - suffocating toxic gas when hit in the lungs cause burns lung tissue, suffocation. Irritant effects on the airways has, with concentrations in the air about 0006 mg / l. Bleach was one of the first chemical poisons used by Germany in the First World War. When working with Bleach should use protective clothing, masks, gloves. In the short term to protect the respiratory system from the ingress of Bleach can rag bandage soaked Na2SO3 solution of sodium sulphite or sodium thiosulphate Na2S2O3. MPC Bleach in the air of office space to 1 mg / m ³, in the air settlements 0.03 mg / m ³.

The biological role of bleach

Bleach (chlorine) is a critical nutrient and is a member of the all living organisms.

Bleach in teabags health risks

Animals and humans, Bleach ions are involved in maintaining the osmotic balance, chloride ion, is an optimal range to penetrate through the membrane of cells. This explains its joint participation with sodium and potassium ions in the establishment of a permanent osmotic pressure and regulation of water and salt exchange. The effects of GABA (neuromediators) Bleach ions have inhibitory effects on neurons by reducing the capacity of action. In the stomach, Bleach ions create a favorable environment for the actions of photolytic enzymes gastric juice. Bleach channels represented in many types of cells, mitochondrial membrane and skeletal muscles. These channels have important functions in regulating the amount of fluid transepitelialnom transport of ions and stabilizing the membrane potentials involved in maintaining the pH of cells. Bleach is accumulated in the visceral tissues, skin and skeletal muscles. Sucked Bleach, mostly in thick intestine.

The minimum human needs for chlorine are about 800 mg per day. The infant receives the necessary number of chlorine through the mother's milk, which contains 11 ml/ L chlorine. NaCl is needed to develop in the stomach, hydrochloric acid, which helps digestion and destroy bacteria. Currently, the participation of chlorine in the occurrence of certain diseases in humans is not well studied, mainly because of the small number of studies. Suffice it to say that not even drawn up recommendations for normal daily consumption of chlorine. Muscle tissue Rights contains 0,20-0,52% chlorine bone - 0.09%; in the blood - 2.89 grams per liter. In the medium human body (weight 70 kg) 95 g of chlorine. The daily dietary man gets 3-6 g of chlorine that more than covers the need for this element.

Chlorine ions are essential to plants. Chlorine is involved in energy metabolism in plants, activating oxidative phosphorylation. It is needed for the education of oxygen during photosynthesis isolated chloroplasts, stimulates the subsidiary processes of photosynthesis, especially those related to the energy storage. Xlor positive effect on the absorption roots oxygen compounds, potassium, calcium, magnesium. The excessive concentration of chloride ions in the plants could have a negative side, for example, reduce the content of chlorophyll, reduced activity of photosynthesis, to delay the growth and development of plants.

But there are plants that are in the process of evolution or adapted to the soil salinization, either in the struggle for the space occupied empty marshes where there is no competition. Plants grow on saline soils are called - halophytes, they accumulate chlorides during the growing season, and then from a surplus through leaf fall or emit chlorides on the surface of leaves and twigs and get a double benefit shading surface from sunlight. In Russia halophytes grow in the salt domes, exits salt deposits and saline downturn around the salt lakes Baskunchak, Elton.

Among microorganisms, as well known gallfly - gal bacteria - who live in saline water or soil.

And know let’s talk about bleach in teabags health risks

What about teabags.

Is it good flavor and, as usual? Tea in teabags - a tribute to the modern consumer lifestyle. Everything must be done quickly: breaks, drank and went about his business. Convenient. But do not yield to such a drink in their properties boiled cooked in a teapot?

Let's start with the principal: the contents of teabags. It is wrong to claim that putting them in horrible: a mixture of waste leaf tea and tea dust. The truth is that for the production of teabag; use the smallest teapot, which is produced by crushing a sheet of special machines. Through much of the ground small teapot with boiling water and achieved a rapid effect infuse. In doing so, the taste of tea more saturated, as well as substances contained in the crushed sheets, it is easier to turn into a drink.

The disadvantage is tea in bags is that small teapot faster oxidation in the air so quickly lose their useful properties. But bag handy brew, and using, you can just throw.

Teabags less flavor. In addition, it is several times more expensive sheet (most of the price of the package). The rest is packed tea of the same quality as boiled sheet. But with one condition: if the tea package was prepared in good faith manufacturer.

- Indicators of quality tea (physicochemical) reflected in State Standard - said team leader standards - No manufacturer can be released and for technical terms, but not at the expense of State Standard quality. These rules are usually strictly implemented. The exceptions are unscrupulous manufacturers who use raw materials of poor quality.

What is the difference between green and black tea? In the contents of the number of water-soluble extractive substances (the same that tope up gives flavor, color). In green tea have several more: 40 - 50% in the black (held a special heat treatment) - 30 - 45%. The younger leaves of tea, the more they extractive substances.

Perhaps not everyone knows: the tea contains caffeine. Most upper leaf tea escapes a 4 - 5% caffeine, second - 3 - 4%, third - 2.5%. State Standard caffeine content not normalized. However, studies show that tea in teabags do not at first leaves. Thus, the maximum content of caffeine found in tea sheet «Velvet leaf», «green bowl», Lipton (from 2.15 to 2.24%). Interestingly, 30% of the investigated tea fails to meet the standard on the contents of extractive substances. In the normal 35% tea «Princess Nuri» the rate is 34,1%, Dilmah - 33,6%, «the very Indian tea» - 30,1%. The content of caffeine in them - from 1.54% to 2.24%.

Incidentally, paper for bags made from natural materials, mainly from Manila hemp.

The first and foremost condition is standard: tea packaging must be safe.

Them selfs teabags not caution any danger to health, but if still confirm that teabags contains bleach in tea bags health risks, all the teabags stop sale. The existence of chlorine in the teabags injury.
