Is a vegetarian diet healthier?

Not all the vegetarians follow the same dietary restrictions:lacto-vegetarians include dairy but no flesh,such as meat,chichen or fish.
Ovo-vegetarians include eggs in their diet,but avoid all other animal foods.
Lacto- and ovo-vegetarians include both dairy and/or eggs,while vegans don't eat any animal products at all.
Because of the limitations of vegetarians dietts,careful planning is needed to avoid the nutritional defeciencies that can otherwise occur.Becoming a vegetarian.however, is not difficult and there is no question that well-designed vegetarian diets are healthy for more people,including pregnant women and children.

Benefits of vegetarianism

The diets of people who eat less animal protein and more plant based protein tend also to contain less fat and cholesterol and more dietary fibre.
This may explain why vegetarians have lower total and LDL-cholesterol level and lower rates of cardiovascular disorders,such as high blood pressure and heart attack,obesity,diabetes and colon cancer than those who eat meat.
It is not clear however,wheter these health benefits are do solely to the diet or are linked to factors such as regular exercise,lack of smoke or low alcohol intake.

While vegetarian diets that include cheese and eggs will be easier to balance nutritionally than those that include all animal products ,vegetarians must still plan their diets carefully to obtain all the nutritients they need.
For example,iron,which helps red blood cells to carry oxygen to the tissues,is present in both plant and animal foods,but haem iron (which is obtain from animal products) is more readily absorbd by the body than the iron that is obtain from plants.
Vitamin B12 is found only in animals foods and fortified soya products.Because this vitamin is required for the functioning of the nervous system,vegans may require in order to avoid deficiency.

How to combine plant proteins

Plant based foods are described as incomplete sources of protein as (with the exeption of soya) they contain insufficient amounts of one or more essential amino acids.They can be combined to form good quality protein,because different amino-acids are missing from each food source.
Pulses (including soya beans products) should form the basis of your main meal.Simply add a grain and/or a seed or nut and the meal will provide good quality protein.

1.The first act is to remove from the mouth anything that might possibly prevent entry of the air.Twist a clean tissue especially on two fingers to move and shoot the tongue.

2.Invert the victim's head back,with the chin up and neck supported.Mantain the victim's head back by placing under the neck a rolled cloth.With the thumb and forefinger squeeze the victim's nose for the air installed in his mouth to not escape before reaching in the lungs.
When it can not be practiced breathing mouth to mouth, mouth to nose maneuvered is required,maintaining this time the victim's lips closed.

4.Blow air in 4 times until the chest is rised.The air will come out then and the chest will replapse.If the chest breathing is resumed naturally, restart maneuver (without to be discouraged until the arrival of medical ) every 3 seconds.

When the victim resumes normal breathing place it in the lateral safety position and do not stop monitoring the victim, if breathing maneuver weakens resume the maneuver.

Sunlight is a major cause,particularly in the early years,for malignant melanoma.

It may occur in pre-existing moles.Pay attention in size,shape and colour changes,inflammation,crusting or bleeding,asymetry,irregular colour,elevation,irregular border.

Neighbouring "satellite" lesions may occur.If smooth,well-demarcated and regular,it is unlikly to be a melanoma.

Squamous cell cancer
This usually presents as an ulcerated lesion,with hard,raised edges.They may be found in the lips of smokers or in long standing garvitational leg ulcers.Metastases are rare,but local destruction may be extensive.As treatment is recommanded the total excision.

Which foods can fight ageing?Tips for anti-ageing meals

Certain foods are rich in antioxidants.Antioxidants are substances that neutralize free radicals-chemicals that damage cells in the body and thus aggravate ageing and disease.
The main antioxidants are: vitamin A,vitamin E,beta-carotene and minerals selenium and zinc.
Some phytochemicals such as lycopene are also antioxidants.

To get maximum benefit from antioxidants follow the next tips:

• Make sute to eat planty of fresh fruits and vegetables
• Since vitamin E is one of nature's best antioxidants,do not eliminate olive and rapeseed oil from your diet.
• Try to reduce the amount of work antioxidants have to do by preventing the build up of free radicals.Do not smoke,do not spend to long time in the sun and keep away from polluted areas.

Tips in transforming a snak or a meal to a pack of antioxidants:

• cube a orange fleshed melon
• strawberry smoothie
• mashed avocado on a toasted bagel
• grilled salmon on a bed of salad leaves,red pappers,tomatoes,sprinkled with ground linseed
• a mixture of broccoli,peas and cauliflower,served hot or cold
• a handfull of baby carrots or almonds
• spinach souteed in olive oil with garlic,then sprinkled with lemon juice and Parmesan cheese
• a mixed salad with tomatoes,celery,sweet corn and broccoli
• sliced orange for dessert
• fresh berries in your cereals
• bread stick with tomato salsa.

The body need for fats. Which fats are vital for healthy body functioning?

Part of a group of compounds known as lipids and composed of the elements carbon,oxygen and hydrogen,fats are found mainly in plants,fits and meats.They form a major part of all cell membranes in the body and play a vital role in the absorbtion of the fat soluble vitamin A,D,E and K from foods.
Fat gives the body insulation,helping to maintain a constant temperature against extremes of hot and cold.It is also serves as an important source of energy.

In addition to fats,lipids include phospholipids,tryglicerides,waxes and sterols.The most known sterol is cholesterol which circulates in the blood attached to compounds known as lipoproteins.
Low density lipoproteins (LDL) which carry cholesterol in tissues and organs are often called "bad" cholesterol,since high levels in the blood are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

High density lipoproteins (HDL),which carry cholesterol away from the tissue and back to the liver are known as "good" cholesterol,since high level decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Fats are also referred to as "good" or "bad" according to whether their chemical bond are "saturated" with hydrogen.Unsaturated fats are further classified into mono and polyunsaturated,which differ in their nutritional makeup.

Avoid saturated fats

With the exception of palm and coconut oil,most saturated fats are derived from animal and dairy products.Red meat and meat products such as sausages are major sources of saturated fat in the diet,along with whole milk and its products,such as cheese,cream and ice cream.
Excessive intake of saturated fats and trans fatty acids are now belived to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease by raising the unhealthy LDL levels,so they should be restricted in the diet.

Unsaturated fats

A diet high in monounsaturated fats which are found in plant oils,avocados and nuts,helps lower levels of LDL and triglycerides in the blood,without lowering healthy HDL levels.
Polyunsaturated fats consist of two major types: omega 3 fatty acids,found in fish oils and omega 6 fatty acids,found in vegetables oils such as sunflower,rapeseed and corn.Your diet should include both types.

Trans fatty acids

These occur naturally (in small amounts) in meat and dairy products,but they are also produced during the process of hydrogenation,which is used to convert semi-solid fats in the manufacture of some types of margarine.
Trans fats are most commonly found in biscuits,cakes,pastries,meat pies,sausages,crackers and take away foods.
Although chemically trans fats are still unsaturated fat,studies show that in the body they behave like saturated fats,causing blood cholesterol level to rise.In fact some studies suggest that trans fats are worse than saturated fats.
