The strange and obsessive Steve Jobs diet

The strange and obsessive Steve Jobs diet.

The late founder of Apple was subjected to fasting and some extreme diets consisting of only one or two eating food for weeks

Steve Jobs was not some guy was a genius and as such was full of eccentricities. Since repeating the same kind of clothes to his way of eating, it is this latter aspect is developed in detail in his authorized biography , published a few days ago by writer Walter Isaacson .

Apparently this fascination with the plants was inspired by the book "Diet for a Small Planet," a hit in the seventies in the U.S. Despite his poor health , Jobs maintained this regime. His wife and her doctor could do nothing to change his opinion. "For him the fast was cleansing and digestion, a nuisance in that wasted energy," wrote Lopez.

A recent study indicated that a healthy diet based on vegetables and fruits , is beneficial for semen

A recent study by scientists from Harvard University (USA) and Murcia (Spain), reveals that men with a poor diet are more likely to be infertile. To obtain these results, they analyzed the sperm of 188 men between 18 and 22, who previously were evaluated clinically to rule out any disease that affects the semen.

 

Early results indicate that consumption of junk food with a high level of trans fat, has a negative impact on the male reproductive system, reported The Daily Mail .

She stressed that despite the results further work is needed to explore the exact relationship between nutrition and quality of sperm.

 

For his part, Edward Kim, president of the Society for Male Reproduction and Urology, said: "We are still studying the impact of nutrition on fertility male, but even these initial studies suggest a link between a good diet and reproductive health for men ".

 

The research was presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.

Why pumpkins are the symbol of Halloween?

Why pumpkins are the symbol of Halloween?

Meet the legend that included this popular vegetable in the celebration

In the United States is impossible to imagine a festival of Halloween without pumpkins. Scary faces carved vegetables and bright inside. Fashion and tradition have made this an increasingly universal. 

 

However, you ever wonder why this pumpkin is a symbol of "Halloween." Here's the answer: the curious story comes from Ireland, a place where the celebration was born.

 

The hero of this legend is called Jack, a farmer who used cheap and liar cheat their neighbors. One day the devil was to find Jack with the firm intention to take his soul. However, the farmer managed to trick him and get him. In exchange for his freedom the devil promised that "never again look for."

 

 

After several years, Jack died but was rejected in the sky and go to hell the devil would not receive him, and condemned to wander the dark ways of purgatory.

 

Before leaving, Jack asked one last favor: a light that can light your way. So the devil gave him an ember that would never burn. The farmer took one of the turnips he had in his bag, he made a hole and put the ember inside the tubers.

 

Since then it became popular in Ireland in the history of Jack of the Lantern (Jack, the lantern) and was linked to the celebrations of Samhain, Celtic festival that marked the transition (the transition from one year to another) opening the other world.

 

With the arrival of Irish immigrants to the United States, the celebration became prominent and became a tradition. However, the absence of a planting turnips or beets, but an excess of pumpkins, the Americans decided to change it.

 

Since then carve scary faces on pumpkins (supposedly Jack's face). These vegetables were placed in the windows of the houses, according to the beliefs, scare away the devil.

Strawberries protect the stomach against alcohol

Strawberries protect the stomach against alcohol.

Granada (EFE). A team of Italian researchers, Serbian and Spanish confirmed the protective effect of strawberries in a mammalian stomach damaged by the alcohol, said today the University of Granada (southern Spain), who participated in this study.

 

Scientists provided ethanol (ethyl alcohol) to laboratory rats and found that the gastric mucosa of those who had previously eaten strawberry extract suffered fewer injuries.

 

Sara Tulipani, researcher at the University of Barcelona (UB) and co-authors, said that the positive effects of strawberries are associated with both their antioxidant as well as enzymes that activate or own body's antioxidant defenses.

The conclusions of the work indicate that a diet rich in berries may have a beneficial effect in preventing gastric diseases related to the generation of free radicals and other reactive oxygen species, so that the fruit could attenuate the formation of stomach ulcers in humans .

The gastritis or inflammation of the lining of the stomach as well as related to alcohol consumption also can be caused by viral infections and by the action of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (like aspirin ) or those used in the treatment of some bacteria.

 

 

"In these cases eating strawberries during or after the disease may relieve gastric mucosal injury," suggested Maurizio Battino, coordinator of the research group from the Marche Polytechnic University (Univpm, Italy).

 

STUDY
The team found fewer ulcers in the stomachs of these rats before receiving alcohol for ten days had eaten strawberry extract (40 milligrams per day per kilo of body weight).

According Battino, work has not been raised to offset the effects of drunkenness, but to find protective molecules in the gastric mucosa from damage that can cause different agents.

Besides Univpm scientists, UB and Granada, in this study involved researchers from the universities of Salamanca, Spain, and Belgrade, Serbia.

Loved by some and hated by others, the nutritional value of the viscera

Loved by some and hated by others, the nutritional value of the viscera.

The main sources of iron in the diet of many people include milk and fish . However, one type of food often neglected, despite having a high nutritional value, is found in organ meats such as chicken liver, the famous sangrecita or heart, both chicken and beef.

 

For Rosa Salvatierra, a nutritionist at the National Institute of Health, these foods are a rich supply of iron, especially for people most in need of this mineral in their daily diet as infants and pregnant women.

"In our country there are high rates of anemia among women and children under 5 years, and this situation can be combated with diets that include offal," explained the lawyer.

Salvatierra recommended that the best way to consume foods such as chicken liver, spleen, beef kidney, among others, is to add small amounts to a diet that, by itself, whether it is balanced.

 

"An addition of iron to maintain a high level of regeneration of this element in the blood, especially in mothers who have spent 9 months pregnant and need to regain their constitution, more so if they suffered from bleeding during delivery," he added.

 

A reasonable amount in the daily diet is two tablespoons of ground chicken liver for babies from 6 months, or five tablespoons a day for women suffering from anemia or low hemoglobin.

 

However, high cholesterol and visceral fat can be harmful for people with liver problems, why are not suitable for their diets.

Patients with hypertension or cardiovascular problems should, therefore, seek other sources of animal protein and iron.

To consume with moderation
Jimenez Faviola Peruvian Network of Food and Nutrition, said: "The positive factor is that they include organ meats are high in animal protein and minerals like iron, which are very favorable for the organism, but have a fat level and cholesterol that make them an addition that must be properly dosed at the time of being implemented on a diet, "he said.

"The balanced diet can not be replaced by a single solution. Although organ meats are economic output to supply sources of iron, protein and vitamins valuable, you should not ever ignore the value of meat, vegetables and fruits, which become the central part of a healthy life "said the specialist.

TO CONSIDER
Add two teaspoons of ground in the liver mush babies from 6 months contributes to the formation of bones.

In broths and soups can also consume a small amount of guts to carry the dish with nutrients.

Even mixed with other foods, is necessary to maintain limited to a maximum of five tablespoons organ meats in adults.

Are you allergic to any foods? Scientists have found the cure

Are you allergic to any foods? Scientists have found the cure.

According to a recent study, allergies occur when the immune system is malfunctioning

According to recent studies, allergies have increased in the last decade, becoming fatal in some cases. For example, if you are sensitive to peanuts and eat it, can cause a fatal reaction called anaphylaxis.

Scientists from several National Institutes of Health estimate that about 4.7% of children under 5 years and 3.7% who are between 5 and 17 are allergic to any type of food . In addition, each year there are between 15 000 and 30 000 cases of anaphylaxis. At present there is no reliable treatment for allergies, reports "Vitals" http://vitals.msnbc.msn.com/_nv/more/section/archive?author=lccarroll

 

A group of researchers at Northwestern University, U.S., have discovered how the immune system to set off food allergies . So far, the experiment was conducted only in mice but with great success.

 

 

STUDY
Paul J. Bryce, a professor of medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, said: "Allergies to peanuts and other food occur when the immune system malfunctions. We have been trying to understand how the system differentiates between what should and should not be in the body. "

However, he noted that when a person is sensitized with food, helper T cells into action as army scouts. These cells are constantly on patrol in search of the protein is considered dangerous. When they find it, call the soldiers and began a massive immune reaction that can lead to death.

 

Bryce and his colleagues found they could block this reaction taking some protein food, in this case peanuts, to wrap a white blood cell and then injecting these altered cells in the body of a mouse allergic.

The question is whether experimentation in mice can be applied in humans. In this regard, Bruce said there are many differences between the immune response in mice and us as well as many similarities, so the study could have great results.

 

The research was published in The Journal of Immunology.

By comparing the diets of women, found that 50% of the children of mothers with eating well were less likely to be born with anencephaly, 20% with spina bifida and 30% with cleft lip.

 

 
To obtain these results, we compared the Mediterranean diet with the recommended by the Department of Agriculture United States . For its part, the project director, Suzan Carmichael, stressed the importance of nutrition during pregnancy and how this creates favorable conditions in newborns.

Who invented the child combos?Happy Meal

Who invented the child combos?Happy Meal

The idea was born in Nicaragua in 1965. Read the story of its creator

These days, the Happy Meal has become more popular menu among children. The novel idea, which then spread around the world, came from Yolanda Fernandez Cofino, who in 1965 opened the first franchise of a popular chain of fast food in Guatemala.

 

Fernandez said that a year and a half broke the franchise inaugurated due to the mismanagement of the manager. Her husband wanted to sell the company but no one would buy it, then decided to work themselves.

 

 

"While attending I noticed mothers with young children arrived, they did not eat anything because no appeal. So, I decided to make a cheaper kids menu containing a small hamburger, fries, ice cream and a little toy.

 

In the early 80's, a group of specialists in marketing for McDonald's came to an establishment and asked him what was that little box to hear his explanation, they suggested it be presented at the annual convention made ​​by the company. To which she replied: "Oh no, how can I go with my hamburgers and toy."

 

At the insistence of the experts presented its inception in 1986. As like the idea in 1989 was officially launched with a Happy Meal toy without ice cream, put in its place a drink. Fernandez said he did not receive any royalty for the idea, but since that date works for the fast food giant in the field of marketing.

 

HEALTHIER
At present, many countries are introducing bills for the children's menu contains dairy and fruit . "I have no idea how to change the Happy Meal. I only know that they are planning to include in the box apples instead of fries and milk in place of the gas, "she said.

 

In the end, he stressed that this change would not have acceptance in children in Latin America and Asia because in these places there are a lot of children, the same as when they go for walks, love to eat things that do not eat at home.

The apple, a fruit "prohibited" but very versatile

The apple, a fruit "prohibited" but very versatile.

They are eaten raw, cooked into jams and desserts . We present two recipes

Madrid (EFE). The apple takes upon himself an unhealthy reputation. "Forbidden" because of Adam and Eve, fruit of discord through Paris and Aphrodite that eventually sparked the Trojan War. And even poisonous cataloged in the story of Snow White , this thanks to the Brothers Grimm. Despite that, it's one of the fruits consumed by man.

Luckily, in the case of Isaac Newton , the apple was used for something good, also owed ​​much to like the recently deceased Steve Jobs and, of course, the Beatles , who recorded for a record of the name.

The fact is that there are apples for every taste, from the highly acidic, such as Granny Smith, the sweet, such as golden. Eat them as is natural, but also cooked or in jam ... and, what interests us today, as the protagonist in a variety of cakes and pastries .

 

 

In desserts
The current trend is towards very thin pie dough, you need to do individual fragility. They are the antithesis of the classic "apple pie" Anglo-Saxon world, with mass on both sides, no doubt very tasty, but also arguably much heavier than the others.

 

There are two versions of great apple pie. One is quite old and very popular in Austria, Germany and northern Italy: the apple strudel or "whirlwind" apple, another born for a very less time, just over a hundred and ten French, which is the cake Tatin.

 

They say that this was born out of an error in one of the Tatin sisters, owners of the hotel of that name in the center of France. One of them, apparently Stéphanie, the eldest, cooked apples more than necessary and not to waste them, the sisters would put the pasta on top, turning the cake at the end. As so often, an oversight, a failure, eventually give rise to a delicious ready: the cake Tatin remains a global success.

 

Basically, it tries to cut thick slices apples, make a caramel with sugar and water, give luster with butter, then lay the slices, tight, and cover. After a while wafer covered with a pastry with holes for the escape of steam into the oven is already hot, 200 degrees, and in 20 minutes or less, will be. He turns hot caramelized apples that do not stick to the mold. And now.

The Apfelstrudel requires more work. The tricky thing is to prepare, with flour, water, egg and salt mass that can spread so thin, experts say, should be able to read a newspaper through it. Place the filling (apple sauce, sugar, raisins, cinnamon ...), rolled into a cylinder of several layers of dough and baked.

Fat diet, a detrimental way to lose weight.

The absence of carbohydrates in the body can generate a sense of constant fasting can affect mood

A balanced diet is necessary for the body to function properly, even for a diet to lose weight. A proper mix between proteins , fats and carbohydrates is what allows a person to stay energized all day.

 

Is that what questions , the famous Atkins diet, also known as dietary fat, which is a drastic reduction in the consumption of foods high in carbohydrates to bind the body to use fat as an energy source.

 

Is harmful because a diet is not complete. Your application will cause the body gets used to eating fats of all kinds and use them when you need a power source to operate. These factors directly affect lipid levels, reduce the amount of good fats and, in turn, will increase the LDL or bad cholesterol.

 

Reduce consumption of foods such as cereals , potatoes, cassava, sweet potatoes or fruit will cause the elimination of liquids and fats and make you lose weight. However, side effects caused by this practice become very unreliable.

¿Raw or cooked foods? Which is Better

¿Raw or cooked foods? Which is Better.

Some experts say that cooking ensures that we do not contaminate with bacteria that may have these inputs

A balanced diet involves mixing the various products, either raw or cooked. 

 

To nutritionists those who like to eat fruits , vegetables and raw meats have a greater input of nutrients (minerals, proteins and vitamins), since these usually disappear or decrease when food are subjected to cooking or smoothies.

 

"Raw foods are powerful cell regenerator, provide oxygen and are more easily absorbed, because the organism does not need more effort to digest" . These diets are economical, easy to prepare and palatable.

 

 

Nutritionist recommends eating vegetables extracts prepared with mortar and conventional extractors, as the high speeds of the blades deleted nutrients. "These juices, they say, are prescribed to patients with chronic degenerative diseases like cancer , because they are nutritious, let detoxify and strengthen the immune system. "

 

With the fruit must be careful. Avoid eating fruit salads because the mixture of more than two different fruits (sour and sweet) produces fermentation and acidity in the stomach.

 

To cause a sensation of cold, this type of diet is not suitable for very thin or who suffer from thermal imbalance because, due to the temperature of their bodies can not tolerate cold foods. "Its use is also disadvantageous in times of winter, but not in summer, as these foods hydrate and cool,"

 

Before eating vegetables, fruits and, especially raw meats, you should verify that offered which are stored at appropriate temperatures and the origin of the animals (for meat). "One option is to eat raw meat with salt dehydrate or using lemon as ceviche"

And is that with proper cooking and preparation is achieved by a product suitable for consumption while maintaining their nutritional state for the body to receive it in a healthy way, "he said.
