Slimming Anti-Cholesterol Diet

Metabolism that is no longer perfect, forcing you to pay more attention to food intake for a healthy body. Also shape the body naturally. Studies show if this decrease occurs when you are entering the age of 30 years. Where is the combustion energy no longer an optimal. As a result, the food consumed is only accumulate in certain body parts.

Onwards, cholesterol would be welcome. It will also be followed by the risk of heart disease, diabetes, elevated blood pressure, and others. To avoid these problems, make a change in diet. Here's a list of anti cholesterol foods you need to consume.

Wheat

The content of beta-glucans which is the type of soluble fiber in oats can help slimming. In addition, a unique antioxidant is found in wheat as well as protective against atherosclerosis. That is the buildup of plaque on artery walls. Consumption of 3 grams of wheat, every day is enough to reduce cholesterol levels up to 50 percent. And any reduction in cholesterol, it will also bring positive effect on heart health.

Cherry

The fruit is proven to be very effective as an antioxidant to combat the condition of "middle age". Especially in men, Cherry can control the levels of uric acid. You can eat fresh fruit or juice without sugar Cherry.  Cherry or yogurt.

Almond

Almond serves to normalize blood sugar levels to reduce cholesterol. The study also revealed that when 20 adults who ate almonds as much as 60 grams per day, for four weeks showed a decrease in blood sugar, also lowers bad cholesterol. Almonds also offer protection against heart disease and diabetes.

Fish oil

Omega 3 from oily fish also helps reduce the risk of irregular heartbeat and blood pressure. Best sources of omega 3 are salmon, mackerel, tuna, sardines, and herring. Consumption of fish regularly can also keep away from the risk of stroke.

Soybean

Reason to choose soy as a healthy food is the content of isoflavones  in soy, which is associated with decreased cholesterol. In women, soy is also able to increase bone density after menopause. In men, soy can also improve fertility.

Revealing Secrets Walking on Water

Chicago - A lot of people have been demonstrating, if you fill the pool with water and cornstarch, you can run on it. If stopped, you will drown. Even so, how it happened is still a mystery in fluid dynamics.

Generally, the explanation given for the phenomenon of "walk on water" is the suspension, which contains liquid particles in it, not the more viscous Newtonian fluid, when there was an increase in the rate of deformation because the people running it. Typical examples are the sauce, blood, and toothpaste. Fluid "normal", like water, flow and constant viscosity.

But Scott Waitukaitis and Heinrich Jaeger, a physicist at the University of Chicago, found that the situation was quite different. When you step on the suspension, the particles will be compressed and turned into a solid phase for a while.

Waitukaitis and Jaeger noted in the research that will be published in the journal Nature, issue of July 12, 2012, that the proposed common mechanism is unable to explain how people can run on top of a mixture of water and cornstarch. "The mechanism is not able to support the weight of a person," said Jaeger.

Both scientists are filling a container with a mixture of water and cornstarch (oobleck) and dug a stick on it. Using high-speed photography camera and X-rays, they see that, when the stick touches the suspension, under section into a solid stick. Particles in suspension could not move, creating an area similar column sturdy enough to prevent the stick sinking into the oobleck.

The area that is now solid and thicken it can extend to the bottom of the container. Jaeger noted that the solidified zone that emits energy that is large enough to rupture one of the containers. That energy can even bounce and push back the stick when the container is fairly shallow.

It should be noted that, contrary to previous modeling, no matter whether the container walls or running a stick remained on the oobleck. The same thing will happen if you fill it with a mixture of sea and conduct experiments.

Once exposed to the pressure wand, solid zone will start to melt, because there is no more pressing energy. That's why, when you stop running across the oobleck, you will drown. It also explains why people can not drive in it, because the wheels do not put pressure on a small area.

Beware of sleep deprivation can erase brain memory

A new finding reveals the importance of a good night's sleep 7-8 hours every day. Lack of sleep 'only' two hours would affect memory and brain work.

Someone who slept only six hours will stop the brain to keep some memories of that day. Meaning, he will lose some memories forever.

This study described the conference in neuroscience community in Orleans. Researcher Professor Ted Abel said: "It is important to note that sleep is not a luxury in modern life," he told the Daily Mail.

Abel stated, sleep beneficial for the brain to consolidate events that happen throughout the day. In the study with researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, he observed how the memory of mice that lack of sleep. Researchers varying sleep duration mice to determine how much of the ability to remember the order.

"We found, although in small amounts of sleep deprivation, memory storage of these animals will be lost. Lack of sleep will block 20 percent consolidations memory," he added.

Means in human terms, this happens to those that reduce sleep time from eight hours to six hours. Professor Abel, adding replace lack of sleep by sleeping longer the next day will not improve memory.

Neil Stanley, a sleep to say, "The brain is too busy during the day. Sleep is a quiet time that gives the brain time to remember everything."

Lack of sleep causes lack of memory consolidation. In the end makes one forget perform simple tasks. "Often the wife felt her husband did not request after they were notified. Husband but did not remember because his memory was stored brain. This can lead to fights."
