How to maintain body fat in normal levels?

The most important approach to reducing cholesterol is a healthy diet and lifestyle. Using a healthy diet with low saturated fat, with more plant foods (grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes) reduces the risk of heart disease and blood vessels. But the problem can still exists, because avoiding eggs, meat, milk and dairy products do not necessarily corrects high blood cholesterol levels. The body may respond to a sharp reduction of cholesterol so that it will produce cholesterol. It can produce up to 1500 mg of cholesterol per day, six times more than what we normally eat.
It is interesting to note that some ethnic groups such as the Masai in Africa and the Eskimos have a diet with high cholesterol, yet they have low serum cholesterol, so you have to take into consideration other factors. Some of these factors are genetic, then the nutritional status, stress, exercise, movement, age.

Nutrition

Add to your diet fiber, rather than completely eliminate foods high in cholesterol. Pectin that is found in apples is good for more rapid elimination of cholesterol from the body. Also, cereals such as oats, barley, millet cereal or buckwheat are good in elimination of cholesterol. If you add apples to these cereals, the effects are even better.
Another interesting finding is that small amounts of polyunsaturated fats may reduce cholesterol levels by 5-10%. Especially good is Linoleic acid, which can be found in cold pressed oils, fish (no shellfish), nuts, seeds and peanut butter.
Foods rich in vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) are also recommended. Include in the diet many raw vegetables and fruits, green leafy vegetables, soy and soy products, such as soy milk, tofu, tempeh.
The following foods are recommended for lowering cholesterol levels to 30%:
-Bananas, garlic, onion, peas, yogurt, cooked potatoes, sweet corn, olive oil, sunflower and other cold-pressed oils, oat cereal, beans, lettuce, carrots, plums…

What will be good to avoid?

Foods that contain refined sugar lead to unhealthy accumulation of fat in the liver and tissue. Furthermore, those foods reduce the level of healthy HDL but increase the level LDL.
Refined foods should be replaced with complex carbohydrates-integral grains, fruits and vegetables.
Many drugs, including steroids and contraceptives can increase cholesterol and triglyceride. Excess amounts of protein and processed foods can also destroy nutrients that control cholesterol.
Finally, another factor that raises cholesterol is stress, which is one reason why it is so important to avoid stress.

Brain and sugar
Sugar is the fuel for the cells in the brain and affects chemicals in it. Excessive sugar intake can change the receptors in the brain that regulate food intake. Tests have shown that even a look at the picture of milk shake provokes activity in the brain that is similar to that seen in drug addicts.

Quick rise of the sugar level…
When you eat a cake, the sugar that it contains is rapidly converted to glucose in the bloodstream. Blood sugar level rises and reaches the maximum when you eat simple carbohydrates (alone), for example, when you eat candy while watching a movie. All simple carbohydrates are quickly absorbed, especially processed, such as concentrated sugars found in sweet drinks, candy, and sugar that you add to coffee, tea … Simple carbohydrates are also found in fruits, vegetables or dairy products, but fiber and protein slow the absorption and provide important nutrients.

And rapid decline …
The pancreas secretes the hormone insulin, which leads the glucose through the bloodstream to cells and is used as energy. The result: blood sugar can drop quickly. When blood sugar rises quickly and then fall, you will feel hunger. Low blood sugar makes you feel tremor, dizziness and to crave more sweets to raise blood sugar again.

Starchy food
When starchy food, such as white rice, white flour products, potatoes are eat alone without other foods that are rich in important nutrients, it can cause the same cycle as when you eat foods rich in sugar. Processed starch: white bread, rolls, crackers, pasta from white flour are the worst possible choice.

Train your sense of taste
You do not need as much sugar as you think. You can also enjoy in the other flavours that are not so sweet. Try that on a weekly basis eliminate sugar snack from your diet. Skip dessert after dinner and gradually reduce the amount of sugar in coffee or tea. Over time, you will succeed to reduce dependence on sweet taste.

Choose healthier alternative
You do not have to completely give up the sweet, just change the source. Instead of cake, eat some fruit, pureed berries, oatmeal. Fruit in different forms (fresh, dried, canned, frozen)  is a better source of sugar. A glass of milk or yogurt with low fat can also satisfy the need for sweet, because it contains milk sugar-lactose. Do not make drastic changes in diet, take small steps, to be easily used to the changes. Eat more fruits and vegetables, drink more water, reduce the consumption of industrial processed food. Buy unsweetened products and add only a small amount of sugar to satisfy the desire for sweets. Through the time lower the intake of sugar and after a few weeks you will be amazed when you realize that you do not miss sugar.

Try to eat more protein because protein-rich foods are digested slowly, making you full for longer. Proteins do not affect the rapid increase in blood sugar, as carbohydrates and sugars do. Of course, choose healthy proteins (legumes, nuts, eggs, yogurt).
Also, foods rich in fiber give you more energy and do not raise blood sugar levels, so you do not feel hungry soon after you eat. Choose soluble fiber from fruits and vegetables and insoluble fiber from whole grains. Or, make a combination of protein and fiber.

Exercise
Exercise will not cure the addiction of sweets but, in general, can change your eating habits. People who exercise regularly, feel better and try to eat healthier foods, which means that intake less sugar. Any form of physical activity is good (fast walking, biking, running, swimming …), and try to exercise at least 30 minutes five times a week.

In the modern living environment there are many factors that can affect the expression of our genes, since the sum of what we eat, drink, breathe, think and practice – can overcome our genetic material.

Many years of scientific research has shown that food is not only the source of calories, and it is not just medicine. Food is an effective weapon in the fight against aging because it has a great influence on the hormone, the anti-aging key is the communication between hormones. For these reasons, diet with limited calorie intake is the foundation of anti-aging.

The next step that will contribute to the fight against aging is moderate but consistent exercise. Only permanent physical and mental activity provides a long and productive life. Inactivity implies a weak heart, brittle bones, obesity, depression and premature aging.

Finally, very high importance of anti-aging has the reduction of stress, because of its beneficial effects on longevity of the brain. We must learn to alleviate the problems because they will always be and we can not eliminate them. The best cure for stress is fresh air and walk.

Let us now go back to eating as the most important factor for preserving longevity. First and foremost is a moderate, low calorie and varied diet. For example, Mediterranean diet is ideal with plenty of vegetables and fruits, fish and olive oil. It is necessary to drink 6-8 glasses of water daily, avoid salt and use a lot of herbs.

The most important foods for longevity are:

- Olive oil with unsaturated fatty acids. It provides essential fatty acids needed to produce hormones, protects the heart and blood vessels and acts as an antioxidant.

- Nuts (walnuts hazelnuts, almonds) increase the level of HDL (the good fats),  provide dietary fiber and vitamin E, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

- Blue fish – fish oil, omega 3 fatty acids and vitamin D

- Low-fat yogurt – calcium and vitamin D

- Whole grains – dietary fiber

- Legumes (beans, lentils, soy, …) vegetable protein, dietary fiber, folate

- Vegetables: especially cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes because of the abundance of plant hormones, pigments, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals and antioxidants

- Fruits: apples, pears, lemons, oranges and berries due to high content of vitamin C, dietary fiber and antioxidants

- Dark chocolate in small quantities, improve mood, contains antioxidants and boosts immunity

Most people inherit a chance to live about 85 years. Others depend on us and our habits.

Let us be moderate in eating, lead an active life, exercise the  body and thought, maintain friendship and fellowship.

Basic  foods are:
- Whole grain wheat bread, corn, barley or rye, rolls sprinkled with sesame seeds and various other such as flax, cleaned pumpkin seeds, sunflower..
-Olive oil with monounsaturated fatty acids and their antioxidant properties is directly responsible for the beneficial effects of Mediterranean diet on health and longevity.
-Fish and Seafood
-fresh fruits and vegetables (citrus fruits, potato, chard, tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage, carrots
-dairy products
-turkey meat

Additional products:
-red wine
-garlic
-integral pasta
-beans, legumes, chickpeas

Other products:
-medicinal herbs
-almonds, hazelnuts, carob
kiwi-

Energy products:
-dried fruit-apricots, figs, grapes
-honey

Thanks to all of these foods, especially olive oil, Mediterranean diet has the reputation of a healthy diet because has preventive effect on heart and blood vessels, on the digestive tract (stomach, liver and intestines), has beneficial effect on brain tissue, skin,
prevents diabetes, slows the aging process due to its high content of antioxidants..

Some of the especially useful qualities of cranberry is that it acts as a natural antibiotic that destroys harmful bacteria and fungi in the body. Studies have shown that bioflavonoids have a special antibacterial effect and may prevent urinary tract infections (E. Colli bacteria). Also, cranberry compounds act on the destruction of the bacteria Helicobacter pylori that causes ulcers. Furthermore, it reduces the risk of dental diseases, reduces the risk of various cancers such as breast and colon cancer, preventing cancer cell growth and expansion of its spread throughout the body. Cranberry helps to restore vision (eyes), reduces blood sugar, which is beneficial for diabetics. The fruits of cranberries are very appreciated in the diet of individuals exposed to stress and in the prevention of cardiovascular disease (heart and blood vessels).

Cranberries are often used as ingredients for cookies and cakes, jams, syrup in baked products, in fruit salads and shakes. Game meat is more enjoyable and the taste of it is more acceptable if is prepared with cranberry sauce. In any way used, cranberries are a real source of comfort and health.

What is tan?
Tan is the first response of the body’s  protection system against UV rays. Then the skin generate more pigment which absorbs the  radiation of the sun, and that process represents a barrier to their deeper entrance.

We we talk about tanning, it involves two distant stages: immediate pigmentation and delayed pigmentation. The first type of  pigmentation is caused by UVA radiation and involve photo-oxidation of preformed melanin. The second type, delayed pigmentation, occurs 2 days after exposure to UVA or UVB radiation. It is associated with the production of new melanin.

There are three types of ultraviolet rays:
* UVA (long wave-length ) are responsible for immediate tanning. They have carcinogenic potential in case of constant exposure.
* UVB (medium wave length) are somewhat filtered by the ozone layer and produce late tan (sustainable). At extended and unprotected exposure cause burns and involve the risk of skin cancer.
* UVC (short wave length)  are for the most part filtered by the ozone layer.

What is tanning?
The solarium is an instrument that diffuse concentrated UVA and in smaller amounts UVB. After several sessions, the skin gets the desired shade of tan, but the speed of that depends on skin colour and how quickly it reacts to ultraviolet rays.

Even if the exposure is controlled, it is not completely without any risk.

Some side effects can occur. They may include:
* Itchy irritation
* Burns
* Dehydration of the skin
* Eye Injuries (if special goggles are not used)
* Skin cancer

People who first visit a solarium early in adolescence period or who have frequent or long sessions have a 70% higher risk of developing malignant melanoma.

What are the contraindications to use the solarium?
- History of skin cancer
- Individuals with very white skin
- People with many pigmented moles  have a higher risk of developing skin cancer
- Allergy to the sun
- Some diseases that are aggravated by exposure to the sun (lupus erythematosus, cardiovascular disease)
- Treatment with photosensitising medicines(NSAIDs – ibuprofen, some anti-hypertensive, some oral and some antifungal agents)
- Pregnancy – the permission is strictly necessary.

Crystallization is a natural characteristic of honey. The tendency towards crystallization depends on the ratio of grape and fruit sugars in honey, temperatures and humidity. The crystallized honey can become again liquid by heating. This can be done by immersing the bowl with honey in a vessel with hot water, but the water temperature should not exceed 55 degrees of Celsius, because then the honey loses the vitamins. Natural honey leaks as a fine continuous thread.

Honey shows good effects in the treatment of many diseases, however its effectiveness depends on proper application.
