Saturated fat and trans fat


Once treated the subject of unsaturated fat, is now talking of the
saturated fatty acids (AGS) and trans fat. The first, are those who lack of unsaturated in its composition. They are located mainly in adipose tissue (fat) of the animals, and are characterized by the fact that at room temperature are arranged so strong (higher melting point than AG unsaturated that at room temperature are liquids), although there are also vegetable oils that contain AGS that are in the liquid state (palm oil, coconut).






As primary examples of AGS we found the butyric acid, lauric acid, Palmitic acid, Stearic acid or Myristic acid among others.



We can find a large quantity of these in:

or milk of ruminants (butyric acid)

or coconut oil or palm nut (Lauric and Myristic)

or other vegetable oils (Myristic)

or animal fat

or cocoa (Stearic Acid)

or peanut oil (arachidic acid)

* NOTE: not to be confused with the arachidonic acid, which is a polyunsaturated fatty acid of the family w-6.



The high consumption of saturated fat is one of the main factors leading to cardiovascular diseases, because they induce the increase and accumulation of cholesterol in the blood, which contributes to the clogging of the arteries. In this way can occur pathologies such as hypercholesterolemia, atherosclerosis, hypertension, cerebro-vascular accidents or myocardial infarction.

In addition, excess consumption contributes to the accumulation of this fat, thus increasing the incidence of obesity and other diseases.



In regard to the fatty acid "TRANS" it should be noted that the main difference with the AGS lies in that they have a more rigid link, thereby achieving obtain solid fats from oils, which is its main use in the food industry. Other properties of these AG Trans are: Decrease

the deterioration by oxidation (increasing the useful life of the product).

Modify the organoleptic characteristics (color, taste, smell… ).

Cause the decline of the content of fat-soluble vitamins (A and D), sterols and AG unsaturated (linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic acid).

Are synthesized or created both in a natural way, in the stomach of ruminants, such as a contrived way, with a total or partial hydrogenation.

Fatty Acids "TRANS" artificial

partially hydrogenated? Fully Hydrogenated

large amount of "TRANS fatty acids"

30 - 50 %?  Content of "TRANS fatty acids"

below the 3%







The principal foods that contain Fatty Acids "TRANS" are the margarine, the industrial bakery products, palm oil and coconut and the fat derived from ruminants. As examples of "trans fats" are the Acid Margarico (ruminant fats) and the Acid Elaidico (in hydrogenated fats).









Adverse effects on the health of the "Trans fatty acids"



can cause deficit of essential fatty acids, causing metabolic problems.

Aterogenica possess property, similar to the AGS (accumulation of fat in the walls of the blood vessels), so that lower your intake is IMPORTANTÍSIMO to avoid severe cardiovascular disease.

Very easy to be absorbed and excreted unmetabolized, by what can cause an increase of lipids in the liver.



TIP: it is advisable to reduce the intake of saturated fatty acids and more even avoid eating many foods rich in trans fats. If the food to consume indicates the type of hydrogenation is preferable eating one that is fully hydrogenated, since you do not have a high contribution of "trans fats".  In any case, the contribution of trans fat should exceed 2g/day, for that purpose, we can help the own labelling of food
 

About Probiotics

A course study published in 2009 in the prestigious scientific journal Nature, which at the end turned out to be only a newspaper publisher written by the French biologist Didier Raoult, stated that there was a direct relationship between the intake of probiotics and childhood obesity.

It is now in 2012, three years later, when jumping to the light of public opinion this article without a scientific basis in spite of who writes it, after the decision of the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) to bind to change the statements about the health effects of products on the basis of probiotics type Actimel or Activia.

This decision of the EFSA is due to the legal limitation, I repeat legal, to give only the action for the benefit of the health and recovery from the illness, exclusively to the medication.

The same laws that prevent the nutritional supplements and give an account on the proven benefit in health, since it is not drugs, are to the that is also bound the great food industry, which because of their strength media have ignored the legal limitations put to other nutritional supplements with much greater capacity and efficiency proven scientific.

This is the real reason, of wars between industries covered by laws designed not for the benefit and protection to the consumer as it is intended to make view, but to serve the interests of pharmaceutical companies.

The alarm the creates Roault to affirm that the bacteria used in probiotic products these are the same as used in industrial farming as growth promoters to fatten up more quickly to pigs and chickens, but as a scientist you lie more data of rigor and multitude of studies confirming the excellent health benefits of probiotics and prebiotics.

In response to the article, not study, Roault, and in the same journal Nature, the scientific Dusko Ehrlich brought order to these absurdities perhaps with some interest, although this has not been picked up by the press. Ehrlich argues that Raoult has not examined properly the scientific evidence, that has over-interpreting the studies cited, that has been omitted other jobs in the same quality, and has used a faulty logic in regard to the strains of microorganisms involved.

Also, they should also have the same weight, the comments made by Nathalie Delzenne and Gregor Reid, whom have signed another commentary that argues that the weight gain observed in the cattle after the administration of probiotics responds to an increase in your lean body mass due to the improvement to the resistance to infections (and therefore to a reduced amount of diarrhea), and never the increased fat mass by the metabolic imbalance that causes obesity.

Let us bear in mind that the antibiotics that we take by prescription and those that are found in the meat treated with this medication destroy intestinal flora own. Many serious illnesses, such as Crohn's disease and other digestive not only, but if immune of nature, have been resolved through the repopulation of intestinal flora with strains of probiotic from different sources, not just those that are found in yogurts whose proportion to its effectiveness if it can be questioned. The repopulation of intestinal flora is a reality with the use of other medications to which the medical profession does not end to recognize.

The objective of use of probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics (sum of both) in animals for human food is to improve your intestinal health, reduce the incidence of diseases by reducing or eliminating even the use of antibiotics, and increase the efficiency of absorption of some minerals and vitamins.

Quick Guide to Being Healthy

1. Skin: It is the body more exposed to the outside and therefore the

most gives the face of the signs of aging. Fruits, fruits and vegetables with high power antioxidants and carotenoids to facilitate the pigmentation and protection against the sun. Vitamins and minerals, such as zinc and selenium have a high antioxidant power.

2. Teeth: The consumption of tea and alkalizing nutrients protect the mouth of bacteria that cause tooth decay.

3. Joints: Sources of collagen, omega-3 (fish, flax, walnuts) and vitamins such as B-3 and biotin have a high power anti-inflammatory. Foods rich in vitamin C facilitates the formation of collagen through the amino acids provided by the food or supplements.

4. Muscles: feed of protein from meat, fish, milk and eggs. Among these proteins the there are better and worse, with regard to their assimilation or not dietary remains that can leave. From blue fish, as well as the lean meat of the bird would be the best by knowing its provenance. Supplements of whey proteins of milk and vegetable foods such as soy and/or the peas are one of the safer alternatives and of highest quality.

5. Immune system: Yogurt, lemon, garlic, are considered natural antibiotics and antiseptics, which together with the action of antioxidant foods is the best tool to have a strong immune system.

6. Digestive System: The proper absorption of nutrients and the effective elimination of everything that we have more than enough, is achieved with the regular input of fiber and prebiotic that favor a good intestinal flora. The best way for the rest of body to function normally.

7. Heart and arteries: tomatoes, red wine and onion, provide lycopene, tannins and flavonoids that contribute to maintain healthy the heart and the circulatory system. Extracts of fruits, such as the goji and mangosteen, troop-contributing specific polysaccharides and xanthones with an extraordinary action in the cardiovascular protection.

8. Brain: High content of Omega-3, phospholipids, lecithins, are food for the neuronal neurotransmitter. A complex nutrient base that took advantage of the synergy of all of them, it is an excellent alternative safe and easy to take to keep a young brain, alert, and capacity of memory and concentration.

Coffee and Stress


Coffee has been seen for a long time as an ally for the loss of weight, mainly because it is low in calories and activates your metabolism.

New research shows otherwise, knowing the behavior of the coffee in the body in different situations and attitudes to the usual activity.

Coffee stimulates the production of cortisol, a hormone related to the stress response. When we are creating optimum cortisol raises blood pressure and speeds up the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. To do this, increases the level of glucose in blood to the muscles and cells optimize their performance. This increase in glucose in the blood makes us all with more hunger and therefore will tend to eat more

because it is usually this stress comes not by an increase in the physical but mental activity, the body does not spend the excess calories that are ingested and therefore it tends to gain more weight.

When the stress situation is punctual, once the emergency hormone levels of cortisol and the physiological processes are back to normal, but if you keep the high levels of cortisol with continued coffee as is very often today due to the rhythm of life that we, being the sole supplier of glucose from the brain will try to get it in different ways, either destroying tissues, muscle proteins, fatty acids and closing the entry of glucose into the other tissues. 


The symptoms associated with high levels of cortisol are:


Mental:

Changes of behavior

lack of sense of humor.

Constant irritability.

Feelings of anger.

Just Want to cry.



Physical:

permanently tired even if we do nothing.

Headaches.

Palpitations.

High blood pressure.

Lack of appetite or gluttony disproportionate.

Digestive Problems.

Frequent urination, diarrhea, or constipation.

Muscle pain or cramps.

Infertility and cessation of menses.

Loss of memory due to the high levels of cortisol damages the connection between brain cells.

Decline of the defenses.

The timely and controlled coffee can have its beneficial effect, while the continued presence in our daily habits, makes remain high cortisol levels depleted the natural response of body (adrenal glands) generating the increasing dependence as artificial activator that we slowly wears away. The habitual consumption of antioxidants of quality, modulates and reduces the levels of cortisol after the stressful situations that we face regularly.

Sugar Poison


The list of food poisons in food can be extensive and can seriously damage in our current and future health.
In this list, the so-called white poisons, collecting food that match in color among others, have a relationship if not directly, at least have contributed to the worst development.

Five are these white poisons: refined flour, white sugar, refined salt, white rice and milk.

Refined Flour - When more is fine and white flour, less fiber, vitamins and minerals it contains. The white bread, the bread of bran (false integral), pastries, do not contain vitamins or minerals, while favoring the caries, cancer, cholesterol, and diabetes. The breads are the best rye bread and wholemeal bread.

Refined Sugar - it is not good as it does not provide any nutrients, only empty calories. The refined sugars are very direct cause of obesity, a nutritional imbalance and caries. Chemical sweeteners such as aspartame, saccharin and cyclamates were has been linked to an increased risk of cancer. The problem lies in the way in which we incorporate sugars to power, the fruits and vegetables, by themselves, already providing sugars in a healthier way.

The refined salt - The refined salt that we sell is only sodium chloride, that although you may have been incorporated into fluorine and iodine, this has been so artificial and not in the proportions in which they are found in the pure sea salt. The processed food is full of refined salt (between 8 and 20 times more than the recommended dose), causing the increased risk for cardiovascular disease. The sodium chloride "only" is dangerous for your health, not as well when it is compensated, as found in the sea salt, with other minerals such as: sulfur, boron, bromine, carbon, strontium, magnesium, potassium, aluminum, arsenic, barium, cesium, cobalt, fluorine, phosphorus, iron, lithium, manganese, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, nitrogen, gold, silver, radio, rubidium, selenium, silicon, thorium, uranium, vanadium, zinc, iodine…

white rice - like flour, refined through which it passes the rice robs it of any energy contribution, and vitamins that can have. White rice cause sharp increases in blood glucose levels, which is a risk for diabetes. Although rice has been consumed for centuries, was in the s. XX when he began to be refined and consumed as white rice. Brown rice is a healthier choice because it releases the glucose more gradually.

Cow's milk - is regarded as the main cause of allergies in children, as evidenced by the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology of the United States, and another large number of studies. The contribution of saturated fat and cholesterol, such as proteins that were not entirely suitable for humans do not consider that the food is so full and healthy that have made us believe for years. Some studies, including the related to diabetes and even osteoporosis, because to be low in magnesium, not favors the bone absorb the calcium. If to this we add the drugs and hormones that are treated to the cows and that then appear in the milk, make it advisable that it be replaced with other natural alternatives more healthy.

A suitable diet, replacing the "white poisons" by fibers and proteins, complex carbohydrates (unrefined) and a contribution of controlled of good fats (fish, dried fruits, … ), will be the best recipe to stay healthy and prevent symptoms increasingly related to the age, when should relate to the poor diet carried along the life.
