]]> Summer is the perfect season, which offers us many variations to have a healthy diet. Fruits and vegetables are everywhere, and recipes that include them are available to anyone. Salad is among the preferences of many vegetarian consumers and not only. Besides is prepared very easy and fast, it has many vitamins and can successfully replace a rich meal. It contains weak proteins, healthy fats and carbohydrates. How can a mistake slip here? Very simple!

There is, however, a mistake many people make when preparing a salad. In addition to all healthy ingredients used for dressing, sunflower oil is always present. Yes, it’s hard to imagine a salad without oil, but it contains processed fats that are harmful for the body.
Sunflower oil is, in fact, pure fat, which means moderate amounts are needed, and excessive consumption contributes to weight gain. One tablespoon of sunflower oil contains 80 calories, and doctors recommend that only 35% of your daily calorie consumption come to from fat.

Salad can become an unhealthy preparation if it is wrongly seasoned. Dressing has the role to provide taste to vegetables included in the salad, and this can be done without adding fat, calories or chemically processed ingredients. Thus, the dressing should contain predominantly vinegar, lemon juice and very little olive oil.

On average, a salad contains about 200 calories, considering that it is made of several ingredients such as tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and peppers. Adding oil, it is obvious that this number of calories will increase. In order to lower the fat content, it is recommended to use olive oil, which is a healthier alternative to sunflower.
Many of those who consume sunflower oil don’t know that it is not beneficial to the body. Nutritionists draw attention to the fact that the silhouette can suffer due to the fat that is found in it. Consumption of sunflower oil negatively affects the level of insulin in the body and the white blood cells.

]]> Salt is a very important nutrient for the body, having, among other benefits, an important role in regulating the amount of body fluids. If the body doesn’t get enough salt, the blood pressure can go down! However, the excess of salt is also dangerous for your health. Find out some signs that you are eating too much salt.

Feeling of constant thirst

When you consume too much salt, the body needs a larger amount of fluid to eliminate excess of salt from the body so the muscles and other body tissues can work properly. The body tells you about this extra need for liquids by producing the constant thirst sensation. And it is important to drink fluids in such situations to avoid dehydration.

Edema

Swelling of the extremities and eyes in the morning when you wake up is another sign that you eat too much salt. Salt encourages body water retention, which can cause severe edema in the arms, ankles, feet, hands, and face.

Bone pain

When you drink plenty of water to compensate the excess of sodium from your body, it also automatically increases urination frequency. Frequent urination causes increased calcium loss. Bones and teeth need calcium in order to keep them healthy, and high deficits can lead to osteoporosis.

Kidney stones

Excess of salt accentuate calcium excretion in the urine. The combination of salt and calcium accumulated in the kidneys can lead to the formation of urinary calculi.

Hypertension

The balance between body fluids and salt is extremely important for the smooth functioning of the circulatory system and the muscular system. The more salty you eat, the body holds a lot of water, and this excess of fluid increases your blood pressure.

]]> Tell me on what side are you sleeping to tell you how grumpy you are. Yes, believe it or not, the part of the bed you are sleeping on is affecting your mental condition and your workplace behavior. So, what side of the bed are you sleeping on? Left or right?

It’s official! It seems that the partner couple who sleeps on the right side of the bed has more chances to wake up very grumpy. According to a recent study (which may sound funny and difficult to believe, but it seems to be more than serious and true), those who unclog the blanket on the right side are more pessimistic than those who “escape” from the blanket to the left side. They are 3% more likely to hate their job, which makes them 7% more grumpy and in the morning than those from the “left” category.
Compared to the “right-handed” people, sleepers on the left are 10% more optimistic, more open, they smile and are 8% more likely to like their job. Which automatically makes them wake up with much more enthusiasm for a new day of work than the others.

The study was conducted on no more than 1,000 adults by a UK company that produces beds. They also discovered that loneliness and introverts  people prefer to sleep on the right side of the bed, while people who are more sociable and have a numerous friends tend to rest on the left side.

]]> A good night’s sleep helps you to wake up relaxed and in a good mood, and if you know what to do before bedtime, you can detoxify your liver while you sleep. Numerous studies have shown that l-teanine, a compound found in green tea, is very good for health. Researchers claim that l-teanine helps relax and escape from anxiety.

Experiments have shown that this substance calms the brain without making you to fall asleep. Japanese scientists have noticed that people who are taking 200 mg of l-teanine every day are getting more restful and are full of energy. If this substance is combined with another perfect morning drink – coffee, caffeine-induced anxiety disappears, but this mixture doesn’t interfere with coffee’s ability to increase brain activity.

Other studies have shown that l-teanine changes the state of mind and makes people happier. Although the mechanism that leads to this improvement in mood is not known, researchers believe that the green tea substance helps the body to produce serotonin and other hormones of happiness.

L-teanine is also effective for cleaning liver from toxins like alcohol or other dangerous substances. Experts believe that this wonder compound interferes with the lack of glutathione, a substance that helps to detoxify the liver.

The side-effects of l-teanine are unknown, but the daily dose should not exceed 200 mg, and if you want to include it in your daily diet, it is good to talk to your doctor about it.

Where do you find l-teanine? L-teanine is found in the form of supplements, but also in teas. Green tea has the largest amount of this compound. Be careful, however, not to drink these teas excessively because they contain caffeine and can make you nervous. It is also good to know that l-teanine supplements can lower your blood pressure, so you should only take it after you talk to your doctor.

]]> Gastric acid is a substance secreted by the stomach, which helps in the digestion process. If you have too much or too little stomach acid, digestive diseases will occur. Find out how you can test your stomach acid levels. Too little acid in the stomach can lead to chronic diseases and stomach cancer. Not only hyperacidity leads to stomach burns, but also gastric hypo acidity.

Under these conditions, it is important to tell if your stomach is working normally and produces enough acid. Visiting a doctor is mandatory if you feel you have digestive problems, but there is also a simple method you can do it at home to see if you have enough acid.

The test that measures the stomach acid levels
To perform this test, you must mix 1/4 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate with 150 ml of lukewarm water. Drink the solution obtained in the morning on the empty stomach. Sodium bicarbonate and gastric acid in the stomach will create a chemical reaction that produces carbon dioxide. So, in a few minutes, you should erupt to remove the dioxide.

If your stomach produces enough gastric acid, the eructation should occur in two, three minutes. You’ll have to keep an eye on your watch. If you do not eliminate carbon dioxide in five minutes, you probably have too little gastric acid. For safer results, the test should be repeated three consecutive mornings.

Gastric hypoacidity is accompanied by other symptoms, such as bloating, feeling full after each meal, digestion problems, diarrhea or constipation, as well as allergies to certain foods. Sometimes causes nausea, nail exfoliation, fungal infections, acne, anemia and hair loss. It is not also advisable to have too much acid, and the symptoms are similar to those who tell you that you have too little stomach acid. The most common signs are bloating, flatulence and stomach burns.

]]> Whether we suffer from anemia, spasmophilia, or if we have other vitamin deficiencies, doctors recommend us besides food, different supplements that compensate for the deficits detected in our blood analyzes. However, vitaminizing pills are not a good solution, says Lorraine Maita, a New Jersey scientist at the American Academy of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. A study made at this academy have shown that there are five vitamins that people unnecessarily take them in pills form. Moreover, some of them can be very harmful to the body.

Calcium
We always hear that calcium supplements are crucial for our health, especially for the bone system. Doctor Maita claims that this is just a myth. “The latest studies show that calcium supplements do not reach the bone as we want, but instead can cause calcification of the arteries and soft tissues, increasing the risk of heart disease,” Maita says.

Vitamin E
Vitamin E, which is know that lower the risk of Alzheimer’s, cataracts or even cancer, may, on the contrary, increase the risk of cancer. One study shows that a daily dose of 400 IU (the recommended dose is 22 IU) increases the risk of cancer. Another research has shown that the risk of illness is higher for women and men that take vitamin E supplements.

Iodine
Iodine should only be taken under medical supervision. And that’s because there are people recommending buying this supplement from herbal stores. This mineral is most often associated with thyroid gland problems  because it is a key component of hormones produced by the thyroid. Too little iodine or too much can cause the thyroid to become less active, a condition known as hypothyroidism.

Iron
This mineral helps in the formation of hemoglobin, an important component of blood that helps to transport oxygen from the lungs to the body. It is also necessary for good cell function and for hormone synthesis. However, you need to take such a supplement only when you have confirmation of your blood tests that you suffer from anemia. Otherwise, if you know you do not have this problem, and the multivitamins you want to buy contain iron, better looking for a product without this mineral. Too much iron can cause inflammation of the liver and can oxidize, destroying cells.
