Named the best and worst diet for life extension

Human diet is one of the major factors determining its propensity to disease, as well as longevity. Doctors have repeatedly expressed this idea, but now she got a weighty confirmation in the form of two scientific research, the results of which are published in the journal Cell Metabolism.

protein diet

The authors of scientific studies began in one case, the US, and in other - Australian researchers. It is noteworthy that the results of their work have converged on a single aspect of the nutritionally - both sides independently came to virtually identical conclusions. These findings are as follows: the low level of consumption of animal protein prolongs life.

So the research team led by Dr. Walter Longo of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles (USA) analyzed data on the health of more than 6000 people aged 50 years and older who participated in the examination of the National Health and Nutrition, conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics USA. During monitorniga researchers found that middle-aged people, the diet containing large amounts of protein, a high risk of exposure to dangerous diseases. In particular, it turned out that if people are prepared from protein 20% of calories every day, the likelihood of death from cancer or diabetes has been increased four times, and the overall mortality rate increased 2 times as compared with those in whose diet protein food was less than 10% of calories. This correlation is concerned, mainly animal protein - vegetable proteins were less harmful.

"We conducted research on simple organisms, mice and humans and obtained convincing evidence that a diet high in protein - especially animal protein - almost as much harm to health as smoking," - summed up by Walter Longo

Professionals explanation follows that the use of the protein affects the production of growth hormone, which supports metabolism in adults, but in addition facilitates growth of cancerous tumors. After 65 years, the picture changes: the level of growth hormone in the body falls, and consumption of protein foods, on the contrary, supports the body.

Australian researchers from the University of Sydney have also concluded the dangers of active protein intake within the lifespan. Scientists have kept hundreds of mice by 25 different diets and found an interesting pattern. It was found that a diet high in protein and low in carbohydrates while eliminating the increased appetite and body fat, but it shortens life and causes the development of cardiovascular and endocrine diseases. Carbohydrate diet, on the contrary, contributes to the prolongation of life, but to rely on a slim figure while it is impossible.

The most dangerous, judging by the results of this experiment turned out to be a diet low in protein and high - fat. (READ MORE)

How should you choose the right salmon

Salmon is one of the most valuable fish in the human diet, and many experts in the field of healthy nutrition strongly recommend it to their patients to use. Which contains the most essential fatty acids Omega-3: fresh salmon, smoked or salted?

Salmon   It is the richest source Omega-3 Which are necessary for the brain and prevention of heart disease. You'll find 2, 1 gram of omega-3 per 100 g of fresh fillets salmon And about exactly the same amount of 100 grams of smoked salmon or salted. The recommended daily dose is 241 mg.

But to buy frozen salmon is strongly recommended! In this case, 100 g of fish you get only 0, 9 g Omega-3 . This is due to the fact that these acids decompose over time due to freezing. Therefore we do not advise to keep the fish in the freezer.

The process of disintegration of salted salmon Omega-3 is considerably more slowly, so that it is well within the specified expiration dates on the packaging of the product. As for the smoked salmon, the smoking process Omega-3   not in any way affected. So this is probably the best option salmon.

By the way, great value for determining the amount of mineral acid is also a place where the fish was caught. If the salmon is bred in captivity in special closed waters, the omega-3 it is somewhat less so that in salmon from natural reservoirs. This is due to the fact that wild salmon is a predator that eats flesh. A salmon, bred in various fisheries, this "vegan". He gets only vegetarian food.

It named the main cause of overeating

Subject overeating today one of the most urgent in medicine and society. Many nutritionists believe that it is the habit of overeating leads to problems of excess weight and obesity. However, Professor Robert Lustig of the University of California, is convinced that we can not assume that people overeat from a lack of willpower. Overeating - a more serious problem.

The habit of overeating is a violation of self-control, his blocking. Observations of obese people show what they are eating is automatically and not because hungry. Most methods of weight loss are reduced to enable the patient to a sense of self, awareness.

However, Professor Lustig says that the main cause of overeating is not a lack of willpower, and use of some products. According to the professor, who led the US media, people are prone to overeating, often do not realize that eat more than you need and do not associate this habit with the emergence of their diseases. Robert Lustig called overeating "scourge of modern civilization": that eating large quantities of food eventually leads to obesity and all its related diseases.

To cope with overeating using willpower modern man is becoming more difficult - enough to take to the streets to see this. American doctor thinks that an uncontrolled habit of eating is closely linked with the consumption of sugar. Food is not complete without it - the sugar is added, even those products that are not pastry. That he is the main instigator for the body. The excess of simple carbohydrates makes the brain insensitive to leptin - the hormone that promotes feelings of satiety. When leptin signals do not reach the brain, it continues to seem delicious food, even when it is not needed.

Professor Lustig believes that break the vicious circle can only be by phasing out sugar, white bread, and other foods high in simple carbohydrates. The only way you can really get a grip on their appetite. (READ MORE)

Expensive brand Tommy Hilfinger, Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Valentino, Stuart Weitzman and others offer women espadrilles a la Lauren Bacall - wedges, decorated with jute cord with straps around the ankle, and it is, of course, only a stylish variation on the theme. Production of such shoes for regulars expensive Spanish resorts, as well as Saint-Tropez and Cannes, established back in the 50-60's, for example, it specializes in brand Paloma Berselo.

Avarkes also authentic Spanish shoes, invented on the island of Menorca (from the last century it was the largest center of the Spanish shoe production). Initially, it was the opposite alpargatam or espadrilles - Shoes rough, but strong and socks, designed for walking on rocks and bumpy roads.

These natural exercises are more physiological, they strengthen the muscles and affect their functional activity, help to increase mobility, motor skills and balance.

Contreras explains, with pull-ups, squats and push-ups the body performs the usual gestures for yourself without breaking the physiological kinetic chain of the whole process of the movement, in which he is involved. Moreover, under natural loads are utilized several groups of muscles, improving coordination and joint mobility.

Unlike this type of exercises while working with simulators is only one study, a maximum of two groups of muscles. In addition, trainers often force a person to take an unnatural position when performing exercises that (taking into account the increase of the lifted weight) increases the load on the joints and causes them to micro-traumas.
