welcome in Japan

I must say that while I knew to be expected, I had no pleasure in completing the admission ticket with the words of all, how and where of my stay (as well as the data that would read a little later in my RFID passport of my sparkling ), but this is fine: a precautionary measure I wrote my details are also available from Foreign Affairs, to my inherent traceability in the event of natural calamity, indeed, I also recommend it to you:

http://www.dovesiamonelmondo.it/

Controls at Narita have the advantage, for the more fortunate, to be compared to those of heathrow (Link only English, you explain that if you dress bad we will lose half a day, as well as virility, patience, and fees), so all is like a dream, already spoiled by what I found to be the normal attention to service that the Japanese offer. Pure
boarding, then, is fast and pleasantly attractive, thanks to the old woman who searched my bag in public, but you know, the old ladies do forgive you all ...

Now I want to focus on what is happening in Japan, which will correspond to my or your next travel experience.
The bottom line is that Max has exposed the questionnaire at you will be filed in the country, with photos and fingerprints. Audited servers in the Japanese minister of interior, stored as gaijin which has been given the opportunity to stay in the safest country in the world.

I have nothing to hide, I can show them also scoured underwear without any problems right?

Maybe! The various problems identified are numerous:

• generic problems in maintaining absolute security of your personal data in the passport control process (with all of your RFID data can be read remotely by maleintenzionati), store photos and fingerprints, sent to server, containment and control of stored data.
• control too resembling a simple reintroduction of the law on immigrants filing, in force until 2000, this is to say, you are a foreigner, you can commit crimes.
  http://www.asahi.com/english/Herald-asahi/TKY200711190342.html
• The point above is true because there is no request to the Japanese to make such filing, and that terrorism exists in Japanese soil , but is led and controlled by the Japanese. Other
• and any hope of not having that experience (as the camera can not take pictures of people higher than the average Japanese, barred from entering a high-caliber bands in the past revenues without problems, etc etc)

Raverianamente talking about: the space between hygienic anthropology, society and the follies

often is heard to say lightly, for women, "Hey Martha, go to the bathroom a moment, come from?" "Yes, I'm coming too !"....

Less often if not rarely happens that instead of male to say "let's say that Max U is a piss us?" "But it is alright, we !!"....

The fact is that at this juncture the masculine editors of this blog have just given a hilarious appointment of shit (sorry:) on our blog transformed for the occasion in the latrine and then go with virtual !:)... The Shit! together deliberately!

prrrot plof plof ..

(Thanks Giulli inter alia, the thoroughness with which linka complex formulas, not always obvious to the public domain)

*****************

speak with consistency and honesty to be "excretory" first

E 'well known to the custom of female users atavistic collective hygienic space (in Japan then:) where, I would immediately clarify not to be accused of stupidity, for "collective use" does not mean of course the performance of physiological functions, that is not pisciacchia all together (in which case I would write operation:) that is intended Normally the air, but to use more generic and broad interpretation of the same in all of its services: then sink, mirrors, etc. .. and not just the water that is.

not to be pretentious, but I would insist, without so costituzionalissima plagiarize the equality of all human beings of both sexes in the first sanctioned by the official documents of most civilized countries, the dissimilarity practice in that area, between the sexes same.

I will try to prove it:)

First, understand the essential dichotomy of semantics above is essential because the site hygienic PUBLIC (private outside by the following considerations being subject to the dependence on key factors: the ratio of "familiarity", the concepts of "private", "home") can be anatomically divided into an atrium and ventricle: the first is the input space, we can define a accumulator of its human otherness, or biodiversity, than other users, that is an area where the person begins to face his own body, recalls the responsibility and the (supposedly in a Buddhist perspective:) control over natural and organic appendix of its own in practice fosters the perception of his ego by virtue of their carnality.

It is still a public space, the antechamber of sublimation ego which is typical Freudian speaking, excretory act, which lasts into adulthood.

So is an even annoying and annoyed, and user space is PARTIAL.

The second, complementary and not antithetical to the first, is a true "egg", a chronotope regressive innermost intimacy of unraveling. E 'PURE user space.

Think of when you need to urgently go to the bathroom in a room or in a station, especially when there is no queue and no need to wait for the user: psychic residue of childhood Freudian mold us a foretaste of the pleasure of that 'all-encompassing experience, complete with physical satisfaction, which implies a gay bask in your essence.

We draw here a paralleslismo with the relation between Church and State, Sacred-Profane Mystery Convention, and so on: the public area of \u200b\u200bthe plant hygienic is still a symbolic representation of the shackles of society, while the latrine real is a descent into more intrinsic dimension of ourselves (so that sounds a little 'devil, but actually, nothing is more disturbing of the ground of human instincts, which I embody the most genuine, the "true nature" in Japanese have a flood of words with this meaning (I would not say synonyms) 正 体 (shootai) 正 気 (Shook), 本 気 (honk), 本性 (honshoo) :)

This, in principle, a surrogate for the explanation of what the space hygienic:)

But be careful, because it is here that take over some variables which is impossible to disregard the development of our argument and underpinning distinct binary:

dawn of time, the man had the speedometer to zero in the march of civilization (well, bad?:) but already showed coarse, alas, ontological differences (real, suppositories?:)> >> redeeming the gift of intellectual faculties (there wanted to kill affinity), for the rest of the omen was a first-class boor, a specimen a lorry driver (without discriminating the category), mixed drunkard, Venice (for the speech, not to discriminate the category:), ultra-murderess-of-date, no global black suits, youth march and so on ... I recommend watch "The War of Fire" by Annaud del'81, interesting not only for the attempted reconstruction of the historical-anthropological insistence on the primordial instincts (sometimes seems to see our policy that if the lumpy sound to blows with a club , hah hah ... there is nothing to laugh)

short, the poor half they "thought" and it was two more sentient conscious:)

hygiene is not even talked and cachicchiava and pisciacchiava everywhere without restraint:) yuhhu

One thing was that in which he enjoyed more, who knows what, B) and give us as much as he could in the wake of a normal animal tilt ^ v ^

At some point in the its history (making it quick because otherwise man ....:) phalanx of men have understood the need to protect its female counterpart of its animals, that is its most carnal inclinations, and forged the limit (not the value) Intimacy 'of women, which is quite different from the respect and dall'eguaglianza that unfortunately still struggle: the woman begins to dress in an alternative way to protect its more intimate, synonymous with fertility, rebirth, etc ... because we understand that the flesh is the lever of sensuality which extinguishes the right of the animal man (my mother, I blame the extreme simplicity of the above, but I have to tighten)

This limit is in turn enhanced and standardized perception of life transforming the toilet of a woman who becomes an increasingly delicate and complex process, subject to the centrality of 'physiological aspect.

.. it goes without saying the conclusion that for women the space of intimacy is secularly conventionally heavier considered inviolable (because otherwise you talk about violence against women?) bla bla bla ...

How do I connect to the wire digression is chief of the speech?

Well, the woman in the name of the preservation of her femininity, whether manifested in the protection of his physical traits you want in the wake of the implanted human conventions, has evolved a concept of space hygienic more faithful to the canonical process as a space of absolute privacy.

So the curious phenomenon of the pilgrimage to the collective process typically female, who at this point seems to be in contradiction with what was concluded, in fact can be explained as a communion between the group feminine scent to be of mutual a ladies' unconscious acceptance of their alternative carnality.

After all, it's very soft:) "We are women and we are proud of the type", B0 ..

The male however, has always been liberated by this mechanism of preservation of intimacy, not heard, conceives the act of going to the bathroom in an even first (without, of course remove the category, B): fuck, I run away, I do it and are fine.
So much so that the concept of space hygienic male is more elastic than women: the urinals are a side by side, you piss in the company say, without too much trouble!

At best it is a because the Tegh which has the next round of the Rocco Siffredi, which just opened the shop splaffa directly on the trough discharge tool:) hah hah

This relative indifference helps to not feel the need to enhance the act of ' asceticism to the bathroom, not to share it in a sentence and coauglarla identity.

Want examples more closely related to the world the Japanese?

Nothing could be easier, since in fact the Japanese space toilets offers wonders:)

(For this I refer you also to links in Wikipedia post of jester which is exhaustive on the subject)

The Japanese woman (and here is that the social convention plays a role even more important) has evolved a particularly strong conception of intimacy (not on the counter playing with the sexual freedom of the Japanese, because it is more regulated than it sounds!) Both 'is that it was capable of stimulating the "phobia of sciaquone")

In Japan, a master bathroom for public use, and worried vergognosissime to be able to hear "sounds") compromising the other users, ladies throw him a sciaquone stramaro of times to ensure a sound effect of coverage! Do not believe it but this has led to a serious problem of water waste public! Up to five gallons to use! Awesome!

Morale, have well thought of inventing electronic devices to be installed next to the health reproducing realistically, activating a sensor or pressure, the sound of sciaquone! ° 0 °

perfect coverage and guaranteed!

short woman (Japanese or not) requires a very strict protection of his privacy

And for men? Here my personal experience with the game:)

Once m'è ever enter a bathroom in one of the fabulous megastore ビッグ カメラ (BIG KAMERA) that ヨドバシカメラ (YODOBASHIKAMERA) are the golden plates of the scale of the Japanese consumption of technological equipment, as well as a place of pilgrimage for all foreigners who wish to become a 'business around the idea that technology offers to the market, despite the deadlock, the Japan and the proportion of purchase-sales exceed our relationship in type 30-1.

the scales then I say, because as soon as you get used to being in Japan and you begin to see that the eyes begin to immandorlarsi a little, you can not afford even to cheer for one or the other faction)

was me and Max (at the Hibiya, specifically, on the day holed up in the Big dull typical 梅雨 tsuyu, rainy season) intent to rummage through them CDs, and listen to various pieces of evidence .. that time was, inter alia, found that these two obscenities:

was then that I felt the need for a download with a sense of urgency, and after I made the big show by the generous employee where he was the toilet for men (and after they take me to the entrance accimpagnò almost like a script: ), I went into cessetto, for the first time against expectations was nothing exceptional, extremely crude and not very clean! He looked like a freshly cleaned toilet by universities, to lowest level for the Japanese standard in short:)

In more close and was forced to collapse in typical Japanese style with face-hydraulic system (anyone who has seen a latrine Japanese knows that over a matter of practicality, the sciaquone lever is at knee high! laziness is also pressed with your feet:)

Well, I mean after I said a little 'angry' as èéma? possible? And then we are in BIG KAMERA, a strange process so little care! vebbè , let us also it is new experience !:)>>>)

begin to do stunts (which lighthouse reluctantly reveal less than:) in order to succeed in that dipserata company trying on my skin all the inexperience of the position of cacatura Japanese, which is quite negative, pig shit! have sciaquone in the fucking face was a thorny problem, the room for maneuver is reduced considerably and banging your knees on the walls wood cab! While making its way in my mind that I was there just out of place, and that half a cubic meter of space was entirely inappropriate for a Western appearance, enters the tomb next to my character (I could not see his face after ' gay shit together :)... the classic feel and rustle unbuttoned so sharp that it seemed to me that there was not even the separator wall, and I say, "Well ... ok, I ..."..... my dignity I had already done, and I'd even watch a little bit so it was impressive (yeah schifatevi you, but I want to see ... with the Japanese diet is not easy to get to know the results from the Guinness Book? maybe that's why Toriyama that has so much sympathy for the hunt: the Japanese are so kawaii, but the rough western counterparts), but so much to do, is sort of lingered on solitary confinement. Just when I decide to decamp (and ass) from the bad place, startled to hear that the "next" begins to make unprecedented efforts accompanied by sound effects in a clever track championships!

I, shocked, I'm listening to the agony of poor (who knew he had one side, how could he not know this, with two centimeters between us:) that amplified more and more trouble with his ercolea grumbling and acute delirious! He alone probably reconstructed a typical scenario sound Alpine slopes during the First World War, the Austrian artillery gruyere Venetian face!

All without a minimum of restraint:)

And I always worried that I am not to reveal our superiority intestinal and excretory ...

Moral casino'm all for introducing this photo, which is my tribute to them phenomenal post toilets (no fetish is that I talk to take over too much when sbrego high concentrations of cleft 表 (Omote = surface, appearance, front) / 里 (Ura = "wrong side of the brocade," what lies behind the facade, shadow>> core extension, the truth, the real kind) that is appearance of underestimated powerful and the underlying reality).


.. Tell me have you ever seen a toilet with ice ???????? Please comment if you have never seen one because I really I stayed dry the impact!

This is the urinal in the "Bridge" ( http://www.bridgeyokohama.com/index2.htm ) of "Rocohama" ロコ ハマ (transcription Japanese Locohama, "Bay mad", as it is called Yokohama between youth reppettona dissolute of 京 浜, Keihin, the area between Tokyo and Yokohama, the region of Shonan area, where the J hip hop rages), a little place not just d 'high class but not poor. We say that the local self-worth, regardless of the type of music a listen: private rooms with soundproof and comfortable armchairs, apparently, acceptable space ... price out of reach for the stuff to drink (a bottle of water from the nearest 200 yen I do not know at the bar ..), but if you want to go and see what result can come to the wise and sometimes foolish assimilation of Japanese art, as well as in the stage of youth calarvi Japan's most extravagant and fashionable go there!

will see with your eyes semiautentihe copies of Busta Rhymes and Lil john Japanese 8presto I'll get to)!

eyes open and head on your shoulders .. ever! Though! ... You never know:)

The fact is: why the ice on cessooOooOoOooOOOOO ??!!????

And there's more! the waiters at the local level, to emphasize even more the gimmick, the containers used for ice to keep fresh champagne to "recharge" the urinal, whenever it liquefacesse under running hot urine! but I say ... we're out! I have never heard of a similar piece of shit!

Anyway ... why it is nice to think they had?:)

Since the species are Japanese eighth Cazzaro:), it is very difficult to imagine a motivation that goes beyond the simple taste for extravagance and for its innovative power and lust that the operation itself: I my guess ... when I did urinate on pure ice, the thermal ranges between 0 degrees and 33 degrees Celsius around the moment of contact and the ice begins to crackle nicely :).....

Cesso primordial Japanese! EH?

then? Look

example of Neolithic architecture of the high level! And the touch of class? viewfinder that track in style? hahhaa hah!

Caught between the branches of the temple of Hayama (where was our home, sigh ..) on the seashores of the Bay of Shonan!

think: beach, soothed by the sound of gentle waves and the rustle of the branches of palm trees and roofs MOKOSHI (??), the shadow of the temple and sit with that vibrates, the gentle melody with exquisite accompagnado flatulence ...

Continuing the tour in this old school I realized that the grass is truly greener: The garden of the Kodokan
Some pictures of the garden and a courtyard.
One thing that always struck the mind was the nature in which temples, shrines, schools and so on and so forth, was restrained and taken to the highest representation of what it is: spontaneous revelation of grandeur of life.
In fact, while important in almost all schools in the Eastern philosophical relationship with the impermanent and the illusion of reality, very often even the great masters had pleasure in his eyes linger on a beautiful garden.

In Japanese gardens, however, is not easy to see the brutal control that a gardener is always forced to use nature as we find ourselves instead to admire in an English garden.
The cut grass is always present, but otherwise the shapes are always dictated by the natural components, and never in the shape of a shear. E 'can then see, walking on the uneven stones of the garden spots where the vegetation appears to the extreme of his improvisation Other things that could be found in this garden for meditation, walking among the loose stones in the grass, was a small grove of bamboo, as well as represent the resistance to adversity, propagated a unique sound and particularly when the wind was beating each other the thick reeds.

With all that it brings a sense of irony view of the transience of things, a way of understanding the harsh world, visually and emotionally powerful, yet delicate and refined, clean in its continuous refinement of style.

More Women Like Mens Genitals Shaved

on Vegetarianism and elderly

Luciana Baroni

In industrialized countries the average age of the population is increasing, and the number of elderly people is gradually on the rise. Our children have a greater chance than us parents live long. But living like?

A healthy old age, which can last more than twenty years, is a phase of life of each individual that is worth living, because only in its pleasant aspects (wisdom gained, the possibility of Use Leisure, overcoming many of Compulsory and responsibilities), and those unpleasant (loneliness, physical limitations, depression). Old age is not synonymous with disease, but the balance of these two aspects is governed by the state of health, and with advancing age increases the risk of disease.

Only a small proportion of older people can lead to healthy aging, maintaining self-sufficiency to the end and remain in their own homes, often because they are women who have always been able to get along fine on their own.

The vast majority of older arrives in this age having to deal with a number of health problems, usually chronic. When a disease is "chronic" means that does not heal, and can only get worse more slowly or not to worsen if untreated. The onset of new chronic diseases in the same individual brings to score a "carnet" of disease, and for medicines to be taken, which often exceeds the capacities necessary to remember them.

Oversimplified, a person will be "much more "sick," many more "or" more severe "are the diseases it is suffering. The more sick is a senior, the worse will be its quality of life.

At one point takes the condition of non-self-sufficiency, terrible situation for human dignity and devastating-when experienced consciously by the subject-the psychological point of view: the individual is no longer able to care for himself, of perform normal daily activities (personal care, food, travel) and are dependent on determining another person, the caregiver (the person providing the assistance).

The non-self-sufficiency is established because of physical limitations that undermine the movement for mental problems that limit the ability to manage themselves or, as often happens, for the coexistence of both.

The most frequent diseases are arthritis, arteriosclerosis and hypertension and related complications (stroke with hemiplegia, myocardial infarction, peripheral arterial disease), diabetes, osteoporosis, Parkinson's and dementia.

Other frequent diseases, cancer, affect the flow of life in different phases: the individual can not afford to grow old, or do old victim of enormous suffering.

All of these diseases varies, but in no small measure are preventable with the food. Their incidence is significantly higher than in countries where the diet is rich in animal products and low in simple food. In countries where the diet is based mainly on plant foods are much less common these diseases or even unknown.

Because the elderly are the population share "non-productive", the economic burden-assitenziale is entrusted to the general population, it is clear that it is also vital for the Company that the greatest number of individuals to become an elder- healthy. Overcoming

in good health 65 years, however, is something that is not unexpected and does not depend too much by fate, although a little 'luck does not hurt anyway. It 's something that we must prepare "before", respecting the rules of healthy living.

In this regard, proper vegetarian food, the more indirect and low in animal foods such as early embraced, is certainly an important variable in the state of health. Only for cancer, it is estimated that approximately 30-50% of cases attributable to dietary factors.

Here is how the Vegetarian Nutrition is of to all intents and purposes a role of primary prevention, like other measures to control other risk factors for disease (eg smoking), allowing the maintenance Health status of individuals over time, consistent with the physiological changes due to aging of the organism.

But the vegetarian diet has much potential as secondary prevention measures precisely those diseases so frequent in the elderly: it is that is able to slow or reverse the course, once you are put in place: this is possible for ' atherosclerosis (as demonstrated by studies of dr. Ornish on regression of coronary atherosclerosis), diabetes, hypertension, many cancers, osteoarthritis. A vegetarian diet is also helpful in Parkinson's disease, slowing the path to physical disability.

The ability to be able to improve the course of these diseases can affect the use of drugs often cause side effects, and real illnesses (referred to as just "jatrogene", that is secondary, in the broadest sense, intervention doctor), as well as being one of the causes of financial distress of the welfare state-or-if there is the individual, who often must give up eating or heating up to pay for medicines.

At all ages, and until the end, the life event has to be a "decent" a few choices of life, including the type of power can not possible to cross the last stage of our short stay on earth with the joy of "being there".

A vegetarian postmenopausal hypertension

Luciana Baroni

Menopause has long been identified with the end of the working life of women, and in a sense with the hall of old age and death. This is definitely one of the many stages of life, which happens constantly, and which must be lived and appreciated for all that is and can give. What may in fact give the menopause is often compared to a profit even earlier ages: "... the woman who fifty years is able to fully trace the male model: strong established in work, financially independent, socially secure, and ... without menstruation, which further removes the gender difference. In practice un'unisex with a biological advantage over the man, to have a prospect of living longer and healthier (Chiechi LM: menopause in post-industrial society-critical medical construction of menopause, and Arachne. 2006).
In this age of life occurs, however, a change of metabolism with reduced energy consumption and increased demand for certain nutrients, and certain disorders that may occur, regardless of the normal aging process of the body, primarily depend on the fall in levels of circulating estrogen due to ovarian activity ceased.
If the reduction of energy requirements establish in fact, as humans, at risk of overweight, obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, the collapse of estrogen increases the risk of osteoporosis and alters the balance of the autonomic nervous system, known just as the situation neurovegetative syndrome, whose symptoms are the key hot flashes.
Regarding osteoporosis, ie bone loss, it is clear that this does not affect equally all the women on the planet, but gives priority to those living in Western countries. And 'in fact a multifactorial disease, but basically develops in conditions that promote calcium loss from the body (ie the negative balance of this mineral) and depend largely on the environment and lifestyle. If the intake of adequate amounts of calcium is important in so far at least 550 mg per day, the scientific evidence does not support the role of high consumption of dairy products in the prevention of osteoporosis. Appears to control against major factors that directly or indirectly-escape-body calcium, among them, the highest was the high consumption of protein from animal sources, especially, followed by high intakes of phosphorus, salt, caffeine, alcohol. The role of phytoestrogens is still controversial, but this probably depends only on the fact that clinical trials have not been able to reproduce the effect of these substances in the context of a diet that contains plenty of them, of course, that is a plant-based diet which is, moreover rich in fruits and vegetables, the only foods whose consumption has been shown to actually be able to protect against osteoporosis.
neurovegetative syndrome affects the majority of Western women, while it has such a low incidence in Asian women. It seems due to an alteration of brain levels of neurotramettitori, particularly serotonin, that affect the mechanisms Control of body temperature trigger reactions appropriate to lower it even under conditions that did not require, through cutaneous vasodilation (the flash) and night sweats. Since the levels of serotonin are increased by lower intakes of protein and carbohydrate in the diet increased revenue, it is unclear how plant-based diets and are able to act favorably on this disorder typical of menopause. Effect also contributes to their high content of phytoestrogens, which may act on both estrogen receptors and as antioxidants, along with many other antioxidants contained in plant-based diets.
To conclude therefore that a plant-based diet, quickly dashed to the features, can be helpful to women in menopause because it can protect children from "big trouble" for this phase, but also because powerful tool for the prevention of overweight, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer breast, and possibly osteoporosis.

How Long Does Carbohydrates Stay In Your System

Luciana Baroni


Hypertension is a cardiovascular disease very common in Western countries, affecting 1 billion people in the world. In Italy one adult in three is hypertensive, but the disease is appearing among young people: 10% of children are overweight is in fact hypertensive, and overweight children are about 35%!

Although those with hypertension may not have any trouble, but has an increased risk of vascular complications: 3 times for myocardial infarction, heart failure for 5 times, 8 times for stroke. High blood pressure also predisposes to kidney failure and damage to the retina, which can lead to blindness and dialysis. Worldwide hypertension is because each year 500,000 cases of stroke and 1,250,000 cases of acute coronary events!

In 5-10% of cases hypertension is secondary to specific diseases (especially kidney disease, cancer and hormonal) while in 90-95% of cases as "essential", meaning you can not identify the cause. Although heredity plays a role in its appearance, is now well established the significant influence exerted by diet and other lifestyle habits.

values \u200b\u200bof the pressure varies depending on time of day, emotional state, physical activity and age, but must not exceed the value of 120/80 at rest (optimal values). There is talk of hypertension when blood pressure higher than 140/90 are established. The middle range of values \u200b\u200bbetween the optimum and the high level, is called "pre-hypertension" and requires non-pharmacological approach is based on the life-style changes (TLC, Therapeutic Lifestyle Changing).

hypertension, however, drug treatment should always be commensurate with the vascular risk related to coexistence with other situations, but can not and should not replace the TLC, but added to them. The majority of hypertensive patients may also benefit because only changes in lifestyle that reduce pressure and increase the effectiveness of any anti-hypertensive therapy.

hypertension appears to be significantly less common among vegetarians in Western countries, and some studies have shown that a diet of foods plant is able to keep within the normal values \u200b\u200bof blood pressure, and lower up to normalize the values \u200b\u200bin hypertensives.

Here are the basic rules that must be adopted by all hypertension, to normalize blood pressure or to reduce the use of drugs: 1-

Adopt a diet very low in fat and rich in fruits and vegetables, which allows reduce the pressure of 8-14 mmHg. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables fresh and raw, and cooked just the vegetables, leaving them crunchy: they are already natural and tasty way to increase the reserves of potassium, which helps to lower blood pressure.
2-Reduce body weight, aiming to reach normal values \u200b\u200b(ie including between 18.5 and 24.9 of Body Mass Index-BMI). Often, this is the only measure needed to correct hypertension. In fact, for every 10 kg lost, the pressure falls by 50-20 mmHg. It 'important to choose foods with low caloric density, namely, that high-volume concentrated calorie: these characteristics are possessed by the natural plant foods consumed, so rich in water, fiber and low in fat and sugar like substances added (and salt).
3-Reduce the salt in the diet, trying not to exceed one teaspoon of salt (5-6 g) per day. Do not use the salt shaker, salt and look for "hidden" in processed food, reading the label (avoid foods that bring in the top five ingredients such terms as "sale," "sodium," "sodium," preferred products "without added salt). Learn to flavor foods with lemon juice, parsley, oregano, garlic or onion. In many salt-sensitive subjects, this reduces the pressure of 2-8 mmHg.
4-Practice regular aerobic exercise (walking briskly, swimming), which reduces peripheral arterial resistance. A trivial walk briskly 30 minutes a day can reduce blood pressure of 4-9 mmHg. In addition, regular exercise is a source of well-being and improves overall health. Instead attention should be placed, especially in those who are already hypertensive, isometric exercise (eg weightlifting), which unlike works by increasing peripheral resistance and hence blood pressure.
5-Eliminate alcohol: in addition to benefit many other organs, this reduces the pressure of 2-4 mmHg. Alcohol, even when consumed in moderation, it can affect 5-15% of all cases of hypertension.
6-manage stress and reduce / eliminate social drugs that act adversely on the pressure, such as smoking and coffee, I finally complete a detail that an effective approach to hypertension hygiene.

Although the correction of habits that are risk factors for hypertension intervention appears to be a much more difficult to administer some pills, however, is the most effective, durable and economical in terms of public health, because the most natural.

But you can eat with satisfaction even if you are hypertensive, with dishes low in sodium and fat, complete with fresh fruits and vegetables!

The importance of what we drink

Luciana Baroni

Water is the most important substance provided by the diet, as is the main component of the human body (75-80% of body weight in infants and 55-60% of that of an adult). The water intake is regulated by the mechanism of thirst, which can sometimes be very effective, especially in the elderly: is the reason why you should try and drink during the day, even if not thirsty. In fact, to maintain the water balance is necessary for the entry of water are equivalent or exceed the losses. Considering the water naturally contained in food and that produced by the body during metabolic processes, you should drink at least 1 ml of water for every calorie.

This water can be taken as pure water but more often, in Western societies, is taken as to whether or not sugar-containing beverages, alcohol, various additives, which have mostly the character of nutrient Paradoxically, however, and may contribute to increasing the water needs of the body (such as caffeine and alcohol, which have diuretic effect), and even worse, the total caloric intake. According to a recent assessment conducted in the U.S., in this case they contribute to 21% of calories in the diet, and about half the calories consumed.

E 'can be so clear what the importance of these products in the incidence of overweight-obesity drug that is revolutionizing the entire Western world and how it is possible through education to the consumption of drinks (transition from the use of caloric beverages that drink little or no-calorie, reduced the number and size of servings), positively influence health.

was recently issued a Panel on the consumption of beverages by an international group of scholars, sull'AJCN published in March 2006, which analyzes and classifies "all drinks, alcoholic or not, depending on the caloric content of presence or absence of nutrients and the risk-benefit ratio for health.

Starting from the observation that:
-fluids have a low satiating power, and therefore can distort the self-regulating mechanisms that rely on the sense of satiety, leading to introduce extra food-
calories from fluids seem to have a greater power "Fattening" than the same amount of calories from solid foods,
the authors state that in a balanced diet of nutrients and calories should ideally be provided entirely on solid foods: no resultant drink, except water, appears to be essential. The different drinks can be classified into six levels: Level 1

: water.
essential nutrients per se, but which may contribute to the contribution of some minerals in the form of well-absorbed.

Level 2: Tea and coffee (unsweetened).
The tea is a good source of micronutrients (especially fluorine) and substances with beneficial effects for health (flavonoids, antioxidants, theanine). Although coffee may affect some vascular risk factors (blood pressure, LDL and homocysteine), its consumption is associated with a reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes, while other effects are still controversial. Research suggests, however, not to exceed 400 mg of caffeine per day (300 in pregnant women). The addition of caloric sweeteners, cream, milk, and the use of ready-sweetened beverages containing coffee or tea, these beverages are back to the next level.



Level 3: Drink milk-based partially and full-skimmed milk and soy-based ones (including yogurt).
contain essential nutrients (especially calcium) and are a good source of protein, but these nutrients can safely be made from other solid foods (especially fruits and vegetables-vegetables), in consideration of some controversy on the cow's milk, and which are taken into account when assessing the overall impact of this food on the health of the population (increased risk of prostate and ovarian cancer, lactose intolerance).

Level 4: diet drinks.
A water-based, flavored, colored and sweetened with non-caloric. If they can, when lieu of diet soft drinks, to encourage weight loss, but are also liable to affect the sense of taste and create the habit of cake, allowing them to hijack consumers' choices heavily toward the intake of sweet calories.

Level 5: drinks that bring nutrients and calories. -Juice, fruit and vegetables, which provide many important nutrients and fiber but being deprived of certain nutrients and labile with a low volume should not be preferred to whole foods are much less replace them.
-whole milk, which has a high content of calories and saturated fat.
-drinks for athletes, high-calorie, containing small amounts of minerals and their use should be limited to endurance sports, but caution is recommended in all other cases.
-alcoholic beverages (wine, beer, coolers, hard liquor), which when consumed in small amounts in adults can have some health benefits, mainly the properties of alcohol (a reduction of vascular events, the risk of type 2 diabetes and cholelithiasis). Alcohol, however, in addition to being a beverage calories, can be addictive, is in charge of socially dangerous and about 50% of road accidents and encourages the development, even at low doses of breast cancer and birth defects and higher doses the development of other types of cancer (esophagus, oral cavity, larynx, liver), liver parenchyma damage, dementia, digestive bleeding and haemorrhagic stroke, hypertension and cardiomyopathy. The limit that is considered advisable not to exceed 2 units of alcohol a day for men and 1 woman (where 1 AU is equivalent to 12 g of alcohol, equivalent to 125 cc of wine, a can of beer or 40 cc of gin). It is recommended to anyone who is not already a regular consumer of alcohol NOT start to take effect by virtue of his supposed "benefits" to health.

Level 6: calorie soft drinks.
are the prototype of the "empty calories" (a can of 330 ml makes about 130 kcal) obtained from water, dyes, flavorings and natural sugar, are consumed in extreme moderation, are correlated with weight gain, tooth decay and type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis. The phenomenon is aggravated by the introduction of "Supersize" portions of that giant.

Theoretically, the share of the liquid diet may be provided for 100% water (zero calories), but it is acceptable to a maximum of 14% of calories from beverages. Here is an example of about 2900 mL of fluids, and their calories from beverages, 14%, of which 9% comes from beverages of Level 3: you remain only a proportion of calories from beverages 4-6 caloric levels of 5%, equivalent to 114 kcal!

Level 1: 1500 mL (range 600-1500 mL), approx.
Level 2: 840 mL (range 0-1200 mL), about keeping the caffeine <400 mg.
Level 3: 480 (range 0-480 mL) about
Level 4: 0 (range 0-960 mL).
Level 5: 120 mL (range 0-240 mL) about, for juices, 0 for whole milk, 0 for alcohol (range 0-1 AU for women and 0-2 for men).
Level 6: 0 (range 0-240 mL).

How to protect the lifestyle of the bone health

Luciana Baroni
The bone is the constituent of the skeleton, 's "scaffolding" that yes, we grow with and supports the weight of our organs and tissues, but it is mainly the "bank of Football", a mineral essential for the function of nerves, heart, muscles and brain. Bone is a living tissue, constantly changing the overlap of the continuous and simultaneous process of resorption and reconstruction. Until reaching the "peak bone mass (maximum bone growth, around 35 years of age), the processes of construction shall prevail over those of absorption. Following the process of construction is reduced, the processes of resorption and prevail: this causes a progressive loss of bone mass, which within certain limits, however, be considered "normal" aging.
But if this loss is of such significance as to make the bone weak and at risk of failure, then this condition becomes a disease, osteoporosis, which runs asymptomatic for many years, until it does not cause spontaneous fractures caused by trauma or a trivial load of vertebrae, ribs, wrist and femur in particular. And 'well-known as a fracture of the femur is a situation far from unusual and very serious, since it can lead to death or permanent disability.

Lifestyle The importance comes from the fact that the main patterns that compose it (diet, exercise, tobacco, coffee and alcohol) can affect bone health, acting both on the maintenance of calcium deposition in bone. Let's see how.

1. The diet: everyone knows that to prevent osteoporosis should take plenty of calcium. Well, not really. There are people (like in Asia or in black) that take very little calcium from food, but do not know osteoporosis. Other populations (such as the Western or Eskimos), who take enormous amounts of calcium, but have very high rates of osteoporosis. It is therefore not just a question of amount of calcium. The problem is to get calcium from foods so that at least part of that set to remain in the body. Some components of the diet are in fact responsible for stealing the bone calcium as they cause the elimination of large amounts of calcium from the body.
proteins, essential for bone growth, when in excess resulting in its demolition, as to "neutralize" the acid waste a large amount of calcium in the urine must be entered: Football stripped the skeleton, which is so hopelessly lost . Animal foods are the most harmful, because protein-rich first, second, because the animal proteins are more acidic. Dairy contain plenty of calcium but also a lot of animal protein and much phosphorus, and the amount of calcium that is removed from the body once the loss is very low if at all. Meat and fish contain, in addition to many animal proteins, very little calcium and phosphorus, causing increasingly hopeless and loss of calcium from the body. So does the salt, and not just the kitchen, but also everything from food animals made.
The best dietary sources of calcium are of plant origin: green leafy vegetables and legumes (beans & greens) are rich source of calcium as well as other important nutrients. Plant foods also contain generally adequate but not excessive amounts protein, are low in sodium, rich in potassium and therefore able to "neutralize" the acidity of urine while maintaining or increasing the calcium content of bone. The soy-based foods contain phytochemicals, isoflavones, which are the exclusive property of acting as estrogen but can exert protective effects on bone and tissue hormone-sensitive.

2. Exercise: It 's known to all as astronauts in space lose bone mass in the absence of gravity, as if only a limb immobilized for even a fracture can be missed in a few weeks a lot of bone mass. Sedentary people are at high risk, while people who practice sports maintain good bone mass over a lifetime. The practice of regular exercise is essential to maintaining the calcium level in bone. Far from thinking of becoming all of the athletes, it is important for all ages try to stay physically active, dedicating at least one hour of the day for a walk in the open air as well as a positive bone stress, exposure to sunlight allows to maintain adequate levels of vitamin D, which is formed in the skin (just the face or hands) and that is also important for bone health.

3. Habits luxuries (alcohol, caffeine and tobacco) increase the risk for fractures, but not limited to, known and there are many valid reasons why those who are addicted to these substances it is decided to reduce or avoid using them.

Act in order to maintain a healthy bone throughout life is therefore possible and advisable, and is something that is useful for the prevention of other chronic diseases related to lifestyle (obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, arteriosclerosis, Osteoarthritis, Dementia, Parkinson's disease) that are tearing our "Welfare Society".

vegetarian diet for health

Luciana Baroni

Among the reasons underlying the choice by a growing number more individuals, to adhere to a vegetarian diet, healthy motivation is becoming more important. Now we have more than half a century of scientific studies that show that this choice of food on the continuing positive effects of health status, defined as absence of disease.

by many medical and scientific sources, most non-pro-vegetarianism, the diet is considered valid for Health that rich in carbohydrates, low in fats and moderate in protein. Increased intake of whole grains, fruits and vegetables is recommended for weight control and prevention of diseases such as cancer and heart disease. But to achieve this type of line guide, though not stated explicitly, the diet should be based almost entirely on plant foods.

This type of diet makes it possible to use natural foods, ie foods that do not undergo the processes of transformation which usually undergo products on the market. These foods are mostly worn to a state very close to the natural one, which is to preserve the original content of nutrients (vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals), that is, substances that have beneficial effects for health, and that are totally or almost lost during the manufacturing process, during which hazardous substances are also added (dyes, preservatives).

These foods, in that state found in nature, are high in fiber, water, carbohydrates and low in fat (the cholesterol in plant foods is absent), animal protein and calories.

are then foods that can be taken in quantities more than adequate to satisfy the hunger, without the risk of incurring the risk of overweight, diabetes, dyslipidemia.

Moreover, protein intake with such foods is more than adequate compared to the daily requirement. On the other hand, excessive intake of protein, an event required in diets based on animal foods, in addition to requiring a considerable expenditure of energy for the absorption and digestion of these nutrients is related to common diseases such as osteoporosis and some cancers. But above all the intake of animal protein is always associated with fat intake pests, ie, saturated fat and cholesterol.

We are facing a dramatic increase in the incidence of obesity, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, cancer and cardiovascular disease. These diseases, called "diseases of affluence, are illnesses by overeating, excessive as to become harmful. Within a single century, the specter of starvation has been replaced, in our "civilization," the specter of death by disease increasingly common, and almost entirely preventable with an adjustment in lifestyle.

Arteriosclerosis, who begins to damage the walls of the arteries in childhood is preventable and can be reversed course only with diet. Diet free of cholesterol and low in saturated fat, that is diet based on foods of plant origin (plant-based-diet).

Speaking of Health, including the employment of indirect animal foods such as dairy products and eggs, must be avoided, since the food from the point of healthy life, perhaps even more harmful to fish and meat.

Vegetarian Diet means eating healthy and varied, respecting what is the nature of man (for teeth and length of the intestine It is certainly a carnivore) in addition to the environment and the ecosystem of which it is a part.

2050 escape from the flesh: Italy will be vegetarian

Fans of this supply are now three million
The warning Eurispes: a half century will be the majority of

LICIA GRAIN - October 9, 2002 L'Espresso

LONDON - all vegetarian the world unite. Knowing that many, many. Spread so powerful and unexpected as to induce the weekly "Time" to dedicate the service to cover the topic of this week, complete with required application: "We should all be vegetarians?".

The question is wide open and so contradictory to trigger reactions and moods opposite extreme. But while we question, the number of those close relationships with butchers and similar rises exponentially across the world, including Italy. According to the latest data Eurispes, in fact, in less than three years ('99-present) we have gone from one million and a half to nearly three million vegetarians. Which are, in most vegetarian-called "spurious", ie consumers of dairy products, eggs and fish (one or all classes, as appropriate), but specific enough in their new approach to food, to be considered a sociological tribe of all respect.

According to "Time", the explosion of the vegetarian movement has caused so many other not be traceable to a single event. So, if in Europe the number of anti-meat has grown with the spread of the BSE scandal, the United States the puzzle is made up of fragments less than usual for us. The rampant obesity - the hamburger with the dock - especially teenagers has led to identify the meat as a dispenser of horrible calories and then deny it, inside and outside the canon superpanino padded (with instant pop burger vegetarian ). The same equation lean vegetarian, however, experts say, is all the more dangerous when you consider the amount of sauces, fried foods and sweets outside the animal kingdom .... Other

deterrent to the consumption of meat, the "personification" of animals, a mechanism that originated in the earliest feature films of Walt Disney, down to the film dedicated to the pig Babe. In the United States, the gadgetteria linked to the cartoons is an integral part of everyday childhood, from pencil to bear. As a child growing up in front of the television can calmly think to bite a leg in everything similar to Bugs Bunny or a slice of Clarabelle Cow? All this without forgetting the strong ethical value of vegetarianism, according to which the forage crops intended for slaughter animals may be converted to feed the needy.

More prosaic, but equally sensitive to the misery from malalimentazione, the Italians have also begun to vigorously push on the pedal of a meatless diet and the results are now evident in social and commercial: raise your hand if you have never heard of tofu or soy steaks. As for restaurants, the last census vegetarian association has filed more than three hundred, to which add a lot, now a permanent feature on the menu a good selection of dishes free of animal protein. The Mediterranean diet, from this point of view, it offers extensive guarantees, including pasta and risotto, difficult to risk the antisocial for reasons of dishes.
I doubt there are others. S'inquietano, parents, faced with the reluctant teenage children in front of the steak: we grew up with her mother patiently bites that cut the inevitable slice, can you can grow just fine without it? Nutritionists, for once, all agree, one can argue that. A condition of using alternative protein, legumes, dairy products (depending on whether you are vegetarian more or less full).

The numbers, moreover, give them reason: according to Eurispes, by mid-century in Italy, vegetarians will be thirty million, exceeding the number of carnivores. And for the wretched of the steak will be hard times.

5 Facts About Triple X Syndrome

vegetables are all you need is served

Interview Available Vianello, medical vegetarian
The Republic - October 9, 2002


MILAN - Free Vianello, holistic doctor, is a vegetarian, "but not fanatical, because to change the mistakes of the company must stay inside."

And then?
"The flesh does not understand anything, there is no need to eat it. All the nutritional elements that serve humans are inserted in the plant world. In extreme cases, I eat, almost to prove myself. But it happens so rarely ...".

His patients are vegetarians?
"There are no obligations, but choices and directions. Personally, I think that a vegetarian diet can be very tempting to be very long range, go with the seasons, and then offer fragrances, flavors and even different colors, otherwise it becomes boring. "

food choices, but also of life.
"Certainly. How to become human, we are in an untenable situation. We must cultivate huge field extensions fodder to feed the animals that we then eat. If we were all vegetarian, the problem of hunger would be solved already: growing just to satisfy our needs, and raise animals for the pleasure of having them with us. "

In practical terms?
" If you do not want to do philosophy , we say that behind the farms there are horrendous secrets. Not surprisingly, also of mad cow disease is still know very little. As a physician, I find an increasing number of cases of degenerative diseases, Parkinson dall'Alzhaimer, not to mention the exponential increase in allergies and intolerances. All of this comes largely from the crazy sophistication - from drugs to pollutants - which is concentrated in animal tissues. According to WHO, the ideal daily intake of protein is equal to half a gram Prochilo body. The rest is all charged more to dispose of..

Back to ethical reasons.
"The name means that animal has a soul. So I respect that and do not eat. "

Long live

protect your bones with calcium, the blood with iron. Check the insulin with the fibers. From science to the rules of good food
Paul Pernigotti - L'Espresso

Are these days over the trivial rules of good grandmother. Today what you have to put on the table to live as long as possible to the decree in good health, scientists armed with dozens of clinical studies which demonstrate the effect of minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates on the degeneration of organs; of reviews that explain such epidemiological people live longer and plumb food standards, sophisticated diagnostic tools able to see how the different bodies react to various stresses food. Thus we learn, clinical studies in hand, that the fibers to protect against cancer and dall'alzheimer, or, thanks to the epidemiology, that people are fed with plenty of fish suffer less cardiovascular disease, or by observing the flow of insulin, we learn the complicated puzzle of sugar metabolism. So we learn exactly what happens in our bodies when we choose a dish rather than another. And on this basis, the science tells us what are the most common errors and how to correct them. Explain

Ottavio Bosello, geriatrician, a nutritionist and president of the Italian Society of Obesity, "The lion's share in the diet of the Italians are the food of animal origin, especially rich in fat and low in vitamins and minerals, just what is most helpful to our well-being of which, however, are rich in complex carbohydrates (bread, pasta, rice, vegetables) " . Before notably absent on our plates, then, is the fiber. "It is the main constituent of feces," says Boselli: "If missing, the first disturbance is constipation. And almost inevitably means constipation hemorrhoids. But the most prolonged parking of feces in the colon also facilitates the absorption of possible carcinogens by the intestinal wall. Finally, the increased pressure within the lumen can cause the formation of diverticula, which are susceptible to inflammation, sometimes even boring. " Not only that: to remedy the problem, the Italians abuse of laxatives with the result of striking the physiological functions of the intestine over time. Add to this that most laxatives work drawing water resulting in loss of some among these salts and potassium, resulting in damage to the kidney.

But not all. The fiber requires us to exercise a muscle practiced less and less of these hectic times: chewing. And the more you ruminate more you feel full, so we tend to eat less. Same effect in the stomach, where the fiber volume is, the dilation extends walls and causes the secretion of a hormone called cholecystokinin, which acts Brain urging them to get up from the table without being filled up. If you eat little fiber, so you eat even more.

Again, the duodenum makes a partial digestion of food before making them available for their intestinal absorption. This process is aided by the presence of fiber: link is more likely to occur with consequent reprisals those hyperglycemic peaks of insulin, which are increasingly associated with serious cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. As if the lipids to be absorbed too rapidly in the absence of fiber, they come to the liver without being processed, making them far more dangerous.

fiber there is not one alone. Abounds in cereals in the form of bran, one that has more mechanical power and which is often destroyed in the processing of flour for the dough double zero or deleted from the bread to make it white. The other type of fiber has multiple metabolic functions and is contained in fruit. In the form of pectin has the function to slow down the absorption of simple sugars, which are present in large quantities. It is mainly found in the skin and is destroyed by blending. Equally rich in fiber are legumes, the most complete food found in nature: they contain proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins and salts.

"In our diet we can not fix only certain foods, though precious. Substances useful to our organization, "says Bosello," are many and variously distributed. We must avoid that some are excluded from our diet. Diets are just too repetitive and monotonous that, nowadays, cause the most widespread food shortages. " As the convicts know diets do-it-yourself or prescribed by incompetents. "Poor diet, which remove a few pounds each time to return, then, a few more. Chili that, gradually, leading to obesity, often accompanied by nutritional deficiencies. Microalimenti shortages, in particular, weaknesses in the more dangerous because they do not occur quickly so overt, but subtly and in a long time. It is a growing, For example, the belief that some headache, some stomach ache, fevers certain that you are unable to give their explanations are caused by deficiencies in diet microalimenti 'adds nutritionist.

Among these, calcium, found in milk and dairy products, fish and shellfish, such as anchovy, octopus, snapper and bonito, green cabbage and radicchio, dried fruit, oranges and in figs. It is a precious mineral for bones that already after two decades gradually begin to lose texture. If it is insufficient in the diet, and especially if the deficiency is associated with specific situations such as menopause and a sedentary lifestyle, the result is often a full-blown osteoporosis.

Deficits microalimenti diets caused by misguided people respond with an equally insane passion for supplements that fill the counters of pharmacies. "In the case of football this is possible," says Bosello, "because it is an easily absorbed mineral. Unfortunately there is no scientific evidence of effectiveness. What's worse, many supplements are not even demonstrations of their safety. It is always wiser to tap the resources that nature offers us, without risking precious alter balances in and out of us. "

As demonstrated in the history of smoking: among those who had a high level of beta carotene in their blood, epidemiologists I note they have a lower incidence of lung cancer. Beta carotene is one of more than 400 carotenoid precursors of vitamin A, important antioxidant, so scientists have tried to administer large doses of beta carotene in a number of heavy smokers and an equal number were given a placebo. After a couple of years the experiment was abruptly interrupted by the health authorities because the subjects who received the beta carotene had been suffering from cancer much more than others. What had happened? Bosello explains: "That, probably, the high rate of this precursor of vitamin A had inhibited the absorption of other carotenoids, altering the balance that had benefits in their own anti-tumor effects. Benefits, as unfathomable is why it is better to rely on nature and resources we offer. "

Another fairly common nutritional deficiency concerns the iron, which is also widespread: whole grains such as vegetables and legumes. But again, for a good ration, it should be a competition from different sources: who has a rigid menu and do not know if they run the risk of going off in the red with this precious micro-nutrient. Even in this case is all about concurrent conditions: if, in fact, this coincides with copious blood loss (whether or heavy menstrual bleeding ulcers long) can easily anemia prevail. Cause anemia, however, even a lack of vitamin B 12: often occurs in the so-called vegan diet, to those words, which feed exclusively on plants (B12 is found only in foods of animal origin).

The lack of folate in the diet can cause big trouble. The name says it: they are mostly found in green leafy vegetables such as lettuce and spinach, oranges and vegetables. Lack thereof, often compared to that of B12, promotes the development of anemia and causes the increase of a substance in the blood, homocysteine, which damages the walls of the arteries, large and small. The damage is most frequent clinical dementia. In the United States if they are worried to the point that time, all products from cereals are associated with folate.

A board starts also the prevention of cancer. Many substances encourage the process of cell damage that leads to the formation of tumors. But many, too, can prevent it.

Among the first: heterocyclic amines, acrilamine, nitrosamines, aflatoxins. The reason, explains Franco Berrino, Director, Division of Epidemiology National Cancer del'Istituto of Milan: "The heterocyclic amines formed in cooking meat at very high temperatures (on the plate, for example, and barbecue), when the acrilamine to be cooked at high alcohol content are carbohydrates (chips, breads certain industry). The nitrosamines, however, when they come into contact with amino acids and nitrite (in the case of preserved foods such as meats, stuffed pasta, but also some that are mixed, for example, cheese and spinach), aflatoxins, finally, are due to fungal diseases and occur more easily in foods that come from tropical countries. It is carcinogenic in animals studies. We fear that they may have the same effect on humans. "

addition to the substances that induce carcinogenesis include those that prevent. "The attack on the DNA at the origin of cancer, in fact, requires oxidation. They are welcome in our kitchens all the vegetables as possible, with their load antioxidants such as carotenoids, vitamins C and E, polyphenols, to counter the onset of lung cancer, esophagus and stomach, "adds Berrino. It does not end here: in cruciferous vegetables, such as cabbage and turnips, are active substances called Phase 2 enzymes that facilitate the elimination of many carcinogens from the environment; still in dark leafy vegetables, in the wheat germ in folic acid include broccoli, good repair damaged DNA, thus useful for cancer.

Berrino tip then the index on sex hormones and growth factor IGF-1 produced by cells under the stimulation of growth hormone and essential to the rise, "How is higher than its level in the blood, the more the risk of getting breast cancer, prostate, ovary and intestine. And their concentration depends on insulin, which stimulates the production of sex hormones by the ovary. Not only that slows down the liver production of certain proteins, SHBG, which temper its action of sex hormones (so much so that you have found a lower occurrence of breast cancer in women whose level of SHBG is high). It is still insulin to an increase in cell receptors for growth hormone, so production dell'Igf1.

Insulin is held in check favoring whole grains, enriching Our meal of beans and vegetables, limiting intake of sugar, animal fats and refined flour. Berrino continues: "Whole grains and legumes contain so-called phytoestrogens, which seems to limit the production of sex hormones and, taking the place, they also run counter action. Are phytoestrogens: the isoflavones, which are typical of soy, lignans, which are rich in flax seeds, cereals and legumes, then some indoles present in turnip and cabbage. "
