Improper diet and obesity associated with him in our time becomes a global problem. Suffer from obesity not only residents developed regions, but also people in developing countries. As a dietician, said U.S. Barry Popkin of the University of North Carolina: "From now suffers from obesity more people than from starvation. The transition from world hunger to defeat obesity occurred afflicted with a speed ". According to Professor Popkina worldwide over a billion people suffer from obesity, and only 800 million undernourished. And "the burden of obesity", with its attendant diseases, even in developing countries now affects not wealthy, and the poor.

The term "Mediterranean diet" has introduced an American doctor dietician Ancel Benjamin Keys in 1945. He studied the possible link between diet and features "disease of plenty", such as obesity, atherosclerosis, diabetes and high blood pressure. Nutrition noted that the farther from the Mediterranean diet sludge model, the more frequent cases of this disease. The Mediterranean diet for thousands of years evolved in Spain, Italy and Greece. There are currently in Spain have created several research centers to study the merits of diet.

Unrefined olive oil - a major component of diet

One of the most important components of a Mediterranean diet is considered olive oil containing vitamin E, beta carotene and vegetable fat. In the recent report submitted to the University Clinic the Queen Sofia in the city of Cordoba, where he studied the properties of olive oil, noting that daily consumption of this product for breakfast helps prevent diseases associated with the circulatory system, and prevents ageing body. The study recommends use only unrefined oil, because it contains more polyphenols, which define and therapeutic qualities of the product. Unrefined oil, manufacturing, typically in the early season harvest olives without hot processing, has the greenish color and bitter taste. Such a Spanish oil production is usually marked on the label as "virgen" (unrefined) or "virgen extra".

Leading dietician Madrid clinic Gregorio Marañón behalf of Professor Dr. Eduardo Moreno also notes the need for regular breakfast: "Breakfast in the Mediterranean diet given special priority. This applies primarily children. They must breakfast at home ". Nutrition recommend for breakfast consume 60 grams of bread, 40 g of wet oil.

As studies have shown already in use for several weeks unrefined olive oil reduces cholesterol levels in the blood. This breakfast offered within three weeks of 20 patients University Clinic. Patients began to feel better: the level of cholesterol in the blood dropped from them. A member of the Queen Sofia clinic doctor Rafael Carmen observes: "The Mediterranean diet based on olive oil, including daily consumption of nuts, substantially reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attack and stroke".

Nuts

Another mandatory component of the Mediterranean diet are nuts: walnut, filbert, almonds, pistachios, peanuts and others. They contain large quantities of protein, minerals and vitamins E, A, B1 and B2. Regular consumption of nuts impeded the development of arterial sclerosis, raise cholesterol levels. It is believed that a very useful against heart disease, for example, walnut.

Meat

Prominent in the Mediterranean diet has meat, especially pork, ham and sausages. Proponents of this diet say that the meat is a source of various minerals needed body - calcium, zinc, iron and phosphorus, as well as proteins. Fresh meat substitutes may well serve dried - a famous Spanish ham - hamon. However, Dr. Moreno believes that it is necessary to consume meat in limited quantities, and hamon and sausages - in very small, since the excess consumption of animal fat is harmful to humans.

He recalled that the most important thing in a Mediterranean diet - is its balance: the use of all types of products, but in quantities that are dictated by the needs of the body: "I want to say that one should not take any harmful products or meals in themselves. Damage could become only their consumption of immoderation. Now in the world, for example, adopted an American swearing-Donalds Mak and his hamburgers, as harmful and contributing to obesity. This is wrong. Hamburger have the right to life and it is useful to the body if used in the measure in the balanced nutrition, containing all the elements necessary for the body. Of course, if you'll eat daily in large numbers only hamburgers and completely ignore the vegetables, fruits, eggs, fish, dairy products and grains, then your body will cause great harm. Again, in the Mediterranean diet most importantly - a moderate and balanced diet ".

Vegetables, fruit and garlic

Vegetables and Fruits - an integral component of the Mediterranean diet. Recommended drink a day for at least five different dishes containing these products, with at least one fruit or vegetables should be eaten raw. This may be, for example, salad of fresh vegetables or apple.

Talk about some special seasonings, for example, on garlic, who is also a component of the Mediterranean diet. Spaniards believe that there is intact heads garlic has no special meaning - it should be consumed only in small quantities just as seasonings. Nutrition, a researcher curative properties of garlic Manuel Diaz believes: "Garlic is added to meat and vegetable ragout, when frying fish, in soups, especially in gaspacho - cold tomato soup, salad of fresh vegetables - it is the primary seasoning Spanish dishes".

On the use of fish, unlike meat, the Mediterranean diet does not impose special restrictions. The fish is recommended at least twice a week. Particularly useful Spaniards feel of a family skumbrievyh fish: tuna, mackerel and mackerel itself.

Dairy products

Every day is recommended to drink milk and dairy products have - yoghurt and cheese, and as cheeses made from cow, and from sheep and goat milk. The owner of a special "cheese" gourmet restaurant in Madrid Norel Elizabeth tells us about its useful properties: "Cheese - a very useful product. Unfortunately, the quality of some people do not appreciate. If in Holland and Switzerland dominated cheeses from cow's milk, then in Spain traditionally dominated from the sheep. In terms of nutritional quality of Spanish cheeses, perhaps even better than usual Europeans class Dutch and Swiss cheese ". The Mediterranean diet offers have cheese after eating dessert.

Chicken eggs

The Mediterranean diet recommends no abuse chicken eggs. They can have only three or four times a week because of the high cholesterol content. But on the nutritional quality of their eggs could easily replace meat and fish.

Bread

An important component of the Mediterranean diet are pasta, various cereals, rice, lentils, peas and beans Turkish. Their daily consumption should be. One can not deny ourselves and bread. Dr. Moreno is convinced that all the talk that the bread is better not because it contributes to the completeness - not wealthy: "From the bread, you can really raspolnet, but only if a time to eat a loaf. From the moderate consumption of bread for breakfast, lunch and dinner yet no one corrects ".

Wine

In the Mediterranean diet also includes wine, although it is not mandatory. Recommended wine consumed sparingly - for lunch or dinner no more than one cup - 200 grams - dry wines: red or white. It is believed that moderate consumption of the product serves as the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. The amount of wine for the meal even allow the Spanish rules of the road. The driver was punishable only if the level of alcohol in the blood it will exceed figure, reflecting the consumption of more alcohol. However, each time referring to the beneficial properties of wine, the Spanish dieticians remind about the dangers of abusing these drinks. Dr. Eduardo Moreno recalls: "Alcohol, used in large quantities, provides the body unnecessary calories, which postponed in the form of fat and have no energy value to humans".

Mediterranean diet now available everywhere

Dr. Moreno believed that the Mediterranean diet principles are applicable anywhere in the world, the same today of its main products are sold everywhere: "I have collected about 85 different diets from different countries, whose authors promise slimming patients, recovery from all disease and other miracles. Basically, we are talking about prospecting false doctrine. Regarding the Mediterranean diet, it produces thousands of years, so that its time-tested properties. Therefore, people who want sbavit weight and eat properly in the future, the Spanish doctors recommend exactly this diet. Besides the proposed diet is not the road. It includes products and limiting public consumption of expensive products, for example, meat.

According to one of the greatest works ever study of cancer, receiving oral contraceptives reduces the threat of the disease.

This conclusion reassure millions of women who had used the drug 30-40 years ago and now are at an age when the risk of the disease most high.

The study showed that women who took the pill for 8 years or less, the risk of the disease any kind of cancer by 12% less. However, for those few who took them more than 8 years old, scientists from the news is worse: the threat of an incurable disease for these women at 22% above.

Stronger all, it means reduces the risk of bowel cancer, rectum, uterus and ovaries. There is no short-term impact of the use of this drug on the occurrence of breast cancer have been identified.

"Probably, our findings reassure many women, especially those who used the first generation of oral contraceptives - a new study authors write. - Properties oral contraceptives reduce the risk of cancer to zero."

Maria Lidbiter of charity care for victims of breast cancer Breast Cancer Care said: "The results of this study pleased thousands of British women who have used or are currently using oral contraceptives."

The team of researchers from Aberdeen University, compiled the material that from 1968 to accumulate in the Royal Medical College, based on data from 1400 treating physicians whose patients took the pill. Then this material compared to those of a control group, which participants did not use oral contraceptives. The study was attended by 46 thousand women, whose average age was 29 years old. All of them were married or had a constant sexual partner.

Doctors watched by women before 2004, all cases of cancer recorded.

At the disposal of scientists and the other was less extensive array of information from treating physicians, for the period until 1996, which gave them an alternative source of statistical data.

Published in the British Medical Journal showed that the contraceptive pill reduces the risk of any type of cancer for most women, although the degree of benefit varies depending on which of the two sets of statistics used by scientists for analysis.

After analyzing an array of basic information, researchers have identified a decrease of 12% of the risk of any type of cancer. This means that oral contraceptives annually exclude cancer each 2200 - and women from those who took them.

The second, more modest-sized array of information has also shown beneficial effects of these pills, although less: a decrease of 3% risk of disease, that is, on one case in each year is less than 10000 - a woman.

Those women who take contraceptive drugs more than 8 years (25% of subjects), constitute an exception. Among them, the risk of the disease significantly higher. On average, respondents had used oral contraceptives for 44 months.

Professor Philip Hannaford, head of research group, said: "This study suggests that in this generation of British citizens named species contraceptive use was not associated with increased risk of illness any kind of cancer on the contrary, the drug can kneel in good stead health" .

Each year approximately 3 million women in Britain and 100 million worldwide take the pill. Since 1961, when they get there, they have benefited from more than 300 million women.

Boston Scientific Medical Academy announced the results of their research. It turns out that the usefulness of products defined not only by environmental areas was fired district, but also its packaging. All in the case, so called, bisphenol A, substances used in the manufacture of certain types of packages.

He slowly poisons and the product itself, making it harmful to human body. But the most terrible fact that the impact of the substance is subject not only an adult organism, but the body has not yet been born child. It is the mother eat the product of "poisonous" packaging, as a chance occurrence of a future child cancer increase significantly. So before buying a product is closely watching not only the composition of the product, but also forming packaging.

Why do you think some people can not thick weight, despite their tremendous efforts? It turned out that the virus responsible fat, which is transmitted by airborne droplets.

Its scientists discovered from Vancouver (Canada), conducted experiments on mice. When hit some viruses in the body of rodents, soon they tolsteli markedly, but to get rid of excess fat can in no way, despite all their efforts in running on the wheel. Yes, the message is not too happy, but such viruses found at this point very little, so that they can not be the primary cause of obesity.

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is responsible for overseeing the testing, manufacturing, and distribution of prescription drugs element within the United States.

Drug companies highlight within the United States operate in a free market and can charge whatever they want for their medications. The United States remains one of the primary few nations that do not regulate drug companies to help control costs. As a result, Americans are forced to pay exorbitant amounts of money for prescription medications.

With the internet's increased popularity as a source for goods and services, it was only a matter of time before Americans began to search for online sources of prescription drugs. The FDA is trying to do its part to safeguard the public from online pharmacies that can be less than reputable. every single market suffers its share of dishonest companies seeking to make a quick buck, but feature within the case of prescription drugs, the effects can be more serious than just loosing money.

The FDA has stated major concerns that individuals choosing to use an online pharmacy could be aware of. Among the most important is the need for a one-on-one physical exam by your doctor before taking any medication. Though a visit to your doctor is not always required by law, it is the smartest way to insure your safety, especially in generally speaking, if you or someone that understands and has expert knowledge are taking a prescription drug for the first time.

Another worry is whether or not the drugs and its most important to understand if you are purchasing are FDA approved. You would only buy from pharmacies that supply FDA approved drugs (This applies only to pharmacies based within the United States. All U.S. pharmacies recommended on this web site advertise to sell only FDA approved medications).

The FDA also recommends that you review to see that the pharmacy posts their address and/or phone number on the excellent web site, and that there is a means of contacting their pharmacist would you choose to do so.

It could surprise many to see that the FDA is not as close minded as you might expect with regard to Internet prescription drug sales. They know the benefits the Internet can offer consumers, as an example convenience, privacy, and access to drugs for the disabled.

Their biggest gripe seems to be with the fact that many individuals will use the Internet to circumvent important safeguards case in point proper supervision by a physician. Taking a prescription drug for the first time can cause side effects that can go unnoticed by the individual. A doctor might be able to spot these effects and adjust the dosage, or recommend you discontinue taking the drug.

The bottom line is that the FDA can only do so much. It will ultimately be up to you, the consumer, to be diligent and responsible when making choices regarding your prescription drug usage.

For Examples:

Buy Premarin, Buy Motrin, Buy Ibuprofen, Buy Lisinopril, Buy Prednisolone, Geodone, Rimonobant, Buy Risperdal, Resperdal (Resperidone), Fosomax, Citolopram, Buy Citalopram, Fossamax
