The sugar is not the only one problem for the teeth

Use your teeth permanently – while eating, talking and smiling. Therefore it is essential to keep them healthy. We present some fact about them that are little known, but this does can be useful in everyday life for everyone – to protect the health of your teeth and your entire mouth:
1. Yogurt is just as harmful as sweet
Sugar is not the only enemy of our teeth. Acidic, low pH acidic foods such as confectionery, soft drinks and fruit juices soften the teeth, a result is the appearance of erosions of the enamel and reducing the size of the teeth themselves. Studies show that citric acid is extremely harmful. The worst nightmare for children’s teeth are very acidic and sweet foods that adhere to them. They “melt” teeth like a piece of ice left at room temperature. Moreover, children’s teeth are not fully formed since enamel maximum yield strength only ten years after the growth of teeth. In childhood it is softer and therefore more easily susceptible to the harmful effects of acids. Adults also consume no small amount of acidic foods that pose a threat to the health of teeth. However, if you decide to eat something sour, do it best with the main meal – it will reduce the harmful effects. More is better then chew gum containing xylitol because it helps the prevention of caries.
2. Email is the most solid substance in the human body, but it is brittle
Ice, popcorn and piercing mouth could drop off part of the tooth. Dentists recommend not to consume popcorn and ice products, especially if you feel your teeth are not as healthy as they were years ago. The rigidity of popcorn and ice can be compared with that of the stone and why we should be very careful in the consumption of these foods. Metal objects such as piercing mouth is a haven for bacteria that can destroy tooth enamel. Study of a prestigious U.S. journal American Journal of Dentistry shows that between 14 percent and 41 percent of people wearing piercings, suffer from tooth fracture and greater than normal wear, but as more serious complications of this condition is represented major oral deformities and loss of teeth.
3. In any age you can no tooth
Although most people have a full set of 32 teeth, some are born with missing. Most often the teeth, which grow are wise. Another frequent lack lateral incisors are located in the large front teeth. Lack of teeth can inherit. However, the most common cause of tooth loss is gum disease and caries.
4. Large amounts of fluoride are harmful to teeth
The fact is that fluoride is important for maintaining healthy teeth. But children under 8 years of age who are taking too much fluoride can develop a condition called fluorosis. Normally it starts with the appearance of white spots on teeth, but later become brown. Unfortunately fluorosis stains are “internal”, which means that whitening procedures will not have the desired effect. Many fluoride is also cause for brittle teeth. The problem most often occurs when ingestion of toothpaste for children. We recommend that you watch your child while you wash your teeth, to make sure that it absorbs paste. Tell him should use little brush on it, so as not to swallow by mistake. Some dentists even recommend that children only use toothpastes containing fluoride.

Fast weight loss is pointless and harmful

Experts strongly opposed to rapid weight loss, the reasons for this are scientifically justified. Stocks of fat lie inside the fat cells. To escape from them fat, it must fall apart into their constituent parts – glycerol and fatty acids, and to perform this decomposition, it is necessary to obtain a signal of its necessity. Nature of the signal may be different, but since it comes to diets, it can be either a reduction in blood concentrations of fatty acids or increasing the concentration of degradation products, which is a source of energy and whose synthesis is needed fatty acids. They are soluble in water and transported in the blood protein albumin with. The more fatty acids in the blood is, the more albumin should be and the greater is the tenacity of the blood. , According to nutritionists is the first disadvantage of rapid weight loss. Part of the fatty acids may be used by working muscles to produce energy. The more active muscle work, the more fatty acids are activated. “Burning” of fatty acids is accompanied by the release of same products, and wood combustion – carbon dioxide and water. The mass of water is formed approximately 7.5 times greater than the mass of the “burn” fat. I.e. if you “burn” fat 200 g for a period of one week, everything is fine, but if this happened on one day, the volume of circulating blood was increased by 1.5 liters. And this leads to loading of the heart and kidneys, therefore, there is the second negative.
If the muscles do not work, fat cells have once – to the liver. The more fat cells there are in the blood, the greater is the probability of superimposition of cholesterol in the vessels. This means that snowball breakdown of fats, some of them not lost, and accumulate, ie rapid rates of weight loss leading to heart attack and stroke. This is the third disadvantage of rapid weight loss. The ability of the liver to form a transport form of fat is certainly not infinite. All redundant molecules accumulate in the body. This is called regeneration of fatty liver or fatty cirrhosis.

There is nothing surprising in that the topic is particularly relevant antioxidants – those beneficial nutrients protect us from the harmful effects of free radicals that are responsible for the development of many cardiovascular diseases, cancer and aging processes. Below we offer you answer the questions, what amount of antioxidants it is desirable to adopt, is it possible to overdose vitamins A, C, E and other “defenders” of the immune system.

2. Can you overdose antioxidants?
The rule that too much is not good good, and true in this case. Experts argue that large amounts of antioxidants could overload their immune system, damaging the body’s ability to “samopopravya. Such a problem when taking the recommended amounts of antioxidants does not exist. If you are taking large doses of one or a limited number of antioxidants in the human body balance can shift in an unfavorable direction, by reducing the benefits of other antioxidants.
3. What is less known sources of antioxidants?
Red wine, berry fruits such as strawberries, blueberries and raspberries are good and popular sources of antioxidants. But the shops are full and very useful with other foods such as broccoli, tomatoes, leafy plants, citrus fruits. Broccoli are excellent sources – antioxidants that much research identified as effective in fighting cancer. This food is also rich in quercetin which helps prevent cancer and maintain a normal blood pressure. The cvacetin contained more in the red onion, red grapes, tomatoes, peppers, citrus fruits. Almonds, vegetable fat, wheat germ, corn and soybeans contain significant amounts of vitamin E. Lycopene-rich foods such as tomatoes, papaya, watermelon, peaches and pink grapefruit maintaining a healthy prostate in men. Other antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin, contained mostly in leafy green vegetables like spinach and kale, are important for the welfare of the optic apparatus, a seed extract and grape improve systemic circulation.
4. Is there a benefit of creams and cosmetics that contain antioxidants? Do they have advantages over the antioxidants in the food we eat?
Skin protection should be carried out both outside and inside. Therefore, coadministration of antioxidants from the diet and application of antioxidant cream is very effective combination. The antioxidants derived from fruits and other food products, may reduce adverse skin changes caused by sun and environmental pollution. Both plants produce carotenoids to absorb the sun’s harmful rays and man them provided by the food and cosmetics to protect against dangerous effects. Antioxidants are adopted by the food could perform an important role in the protection of newly formed skin.

Since childhood we are convinced that coffee is harmful because it increases blood pressure and although several new studies showed that moderate use does not cause injury either hypertensive or healthy people, this remains a controversial drink. In fact, blood pressure to rise 15-20 minutes after drinking a cup of coffee, but as it appears that its effect is negligible and only very briefly. It can not be talking about negative effects of coffee on people suffering from hypertension or even less – for provoking a hypertensive crisis. Modern studies show that 1 to 4 cups of coffee is not detrimental to health but if the daily limit (ie more than 300 ml) is crossed, you may experience serious problems. When women can disrupt the menstrual cycle. People suffering from cardiac arrhythmia, episodes of nausea, disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, nervous tics, insomnia, increased levels of nervousness and anxiety should also be very attentive to this drink. We must not forget that caffeine is contained in many of confectionery, soft drinks, ice cream and in some medicinal preparations. On the other hand can not be denied that in many cases, coffee has a beneficial effect on health. Its use helps to focus attention, improve mood, increase vitality, relieve headache condition, the muscles of the airways and stimulating work of muscles.
And there is evidence that moderate use of coffee kept the development of diabetes by a second type, reduces risk of cancer of the stomach and Parkinson’s disease. Coffee can certainly be useful and drink. So from morning cup should be refused only those who have serious reasons. The main wave of the impact of the coffee occurs 15-20 minutes after drinking it and lasts for about 2 hours. But the caffeine is derived from the body 5 times longer and it should have in mind especially those who suffer from insomnia.

Long working hours and extra hours spent at work are borne more heavily than women and have more harmful effects on health of the fair sex, according to research by British scientists from Cambridge University (University of Cambridge). As a result of increased stress in the workplace, more women smoke cigarettes, drink more coffee and consume harmful food. Interesting findings of the study is that both men and women drink less alcohol when they have to work a lot. In women, however, increases the desire for more abundant and unhealthy eating. Experts say that women who work longer, eat less calorie and fat foods and less engaged in physical exercise, women smokers smoke more cigarettes, while the length of working day does not affect focused on sport for men, the number of cigarettes smoked or tried their coffee. A group of scientists led by Prof. Daryl O’Connor (Daryl O `Connor) have been studied in particular the impact of stress on the nutritional behavior. It turns out that the events causing the most stress – prepare for a manifestation, a meeting with the boss, behind schedule, compel women are more likely to eat between meals, as logically prefer foods that satisfy your appetite quickly.
People most prone to such behavior, the researchers call “emotional hungry”. They are described in the survey as easy and very hurt and tend to remove internal tension that is with food. When they occur in a feeling of anxiety, emotional agitation or hostility towards themselves, they begin to eat, to dispel the negative emotions.
