But those who heed the following tips should feel after a few days now, much better, rather than fuss around for weeks with a cold.
Sleep
So it sounds banal to sleep, and detoxify the body is doing during an illness, so even with a cold, very well. In sleep the body detoxifies fact many times more and more intense than when the patient is awake. In addition, the liver, the organ of detoxification, during the extended horizontal position, it can work in this way much better. To assist the liver in this process, a liver pack, such as a hot water bottle can be used. This is then placed just under the left breast.
With colds note the increased fluid requirements
During a cold, the body with nasty viruses and bacteria has to do, which he wants to rid himself and has to. He achieves this both through the skin by the patient's temperature rises and the other by the absorption and release of fluid. While the liquid, preferably water lingers in the body, it triggers the body's waste products and other harmful substances; they get broken in the river so to speak, and is ultimately excreted.

Organic Food
Organic farming relies on the use of production techniques that do not involve any type of chemical synthesis, such as fertilizers, pesticides, pesticides, etc.. It uses only natural fertilizers, derived from the animal, vegetable or mineral, and biological control techniques.
In this way, the food protected not only the nature and the environment, but also the same human health: foods retain and enhance all of the land, respecting all life and the exclusion of any genetically modified organism.
The philosophy of organic food is the respect of biodiversity and the seasons, in order to achieve multiple objectives: to produce more natural foods, and healthier, without the presence of toxic residues, contributing to a drastic reduction of energy consumption (essential for the production of synthetic chemicals) and preserving the natural environment and agricultural land.
Fertilizers, pesticides and all the substances responsible for pollution of aquifers are severely abolished: to cultivate the land must be completely pure. In fact, they are chosen in locations away from any source of pollution, like factories and highways.
Soil fertility is achieved by using organic fertilizers such as manure, or vegetable (or mixed) as green manure. To ensure crop protection is primarily a precautionary measure, selecting resistant varieties to disease and using special techniques of planting.
Through crop rotation, it inhibits the reproduction of weeds, you can not use herbicides, not growing the same plant on the same ground in a row, on the one hand, it hinders the environment of the pests and, secondly, are exploited more rational and less intensively soil nutrients. In addition, through its subsidiary, undesirable plants are grown in parallel to one o'clock of the other parasites. Also eliminated artificial colors or preservatives: foods are processed, packaged and processed in full compliance with their characteristics and their nutritional values.
The number of heads of livestock is directly tied to the space available: the farming systems adopted must meet the ethological and physiological needs of animals. Prohibited transplantation of embryos, use of hormones to control ovulation and the genetic manipulation of races. The breeding conditions must comply with the innate behavior of animals, the trees should be healthy, properly sized for the load of cattle and constructed so as to allow isolation of the leaders who need medical care.
The transport of animals should be as short as possible. The loading and unloading must be carried out without causing their suffering, is prohibited the administration of sedatives during the trip. The diet should be balanced, according to the nutritional needs of individual animals. Strictly prohibited the administration of appetite-stimulating growth or synthetic preservatives and dyes, urea, faeces or other animal waste, food treated with solvents, Genetically modified organisms and synthetic vitamins.
To protect consumers, today in a special force and strict European regulations, which requires inspection and certification of organic products and production process. As established by EEC Regulation 2092/91, the packaging of organic food must contain, necessarily, the name and the initials of the inspection, the producer code and the words following: "organically - EEC control system". In Italy there are a number of bodies, authorized and approved by the EEC, used for the regular inspection of farms under organic production, verifying the suitability and carrying out specific analysis in order to ensure the implementation of EU regulations.
Organic farming, enhancing the hygienic quality, nutritional and organoleptic quality of the products obtained in a natural way from the earth and its fruits, includes all agricultural systems that promote the production of food and fiber in a healthy way, even from a financial point of view and social as well as nutritional and environmental. The production capacity of these systems, which exploit the inherent soil fertility is closely linked to a profound respect for nature, plants, animals and landscape.

Pimples: Causes and Treatment
The pimple is caused by an inflammation of the superficial skin follicles. It features a core of necrotic tissue surrounded by a nodular infiltrate hard and painful.
Causes:
There are many pores in the skin, in turn connected to the glands that produce sebum, an oily and greasy substance. The fat in it exerts this protective action against the skin covering it with a thin layer which also serves to nourish, moisturize, lubricate and make the skin more elastic.
It may happen that the excess fat goes to block pores, interacting with the bacteria on the skin. This generates an inflammatory response resulting in the formation of pimple or pustule.
It should be noted that not always evolve in the obstruction of pores boil. For example, if the mixture of grease and germs into contact with air are formed points blacks because of a chemical reaction of pigmentation. Acne and crawl space are generalized events that include a more or less large number of pimples with intense inflammatory component.
The sites most at risk are those where the skin has more fat and particularly rich in sebaceous glands, like the neck and face and back. During puberty, due to increased hormone levels, the sebaceous glands increase the share of sebum produced. In particular, while estrogens have protective effects against acne, the androgens stimulate over activity of the sebaceous glands. For this reason, pimples and acne are common side effects of anabolic steroids.
How to treat Pimples: SOME TIPS
* Avoid crushing or squeezing pimples in this way the material that comes out can transmit the infection to surrounding pores, causing the formation of new pimples
* For the same reason you should avoid scratching or touching the affected area even in the presence of itching (hands are particularly rich in bacteria and can worsen the infection);
* The pimples can be crushed only when they present the characteristic yellow vesicle surface. The accumulation of pus in these cases can delay the healing process and increase the risk of scarring.
* The recording of a pimple to be performed by a physician, the proper procedure is to run a small incision (with a needle or syringe) on top of the pimple. If this is done individually is well wash your hands thoroughly and use sterile gauze pressing lightly with your fingers (this way you avoid the rupture of capillaries and leaves the risk of infection).
* Maintain good personal hygiene, wash your face 2-3 times a day, without exaggeration is washed out. Too much risk of drying out the skin cleansing skin can increase lubricity and pimples.
* Detergents clean the deep pores facilitating the removal of grease and prevent it from clogging them and infected them.
* For a proper hygiene skin simply use soap and water in more serious cases or particular good to use specific products under guidance of a physician specialist (dermatologist).
* The products used must not be aggressive, not overly dry skin. And good rule to experience any side effects of a new cream with an application test on the arm.
* Avoid creams and cosmetic fat or oil-based because they can increase the oiliness of the skin and encourage the growth of pimples.
* After brushing dry gently without rubbing but dabbing with a soft towel.
* Wash your hair regularly because they accumulate in bacteria. For the same reason it is good to avoid pimples cover her hair because they contain bacteria may increase the risk of infection.
* Exercise and sweating promote opening of pores and the elimination of toxins, so it hinders the growth of pimples.
* Avoid or reduce stress, both physical and psychological care and feeding, this helps eliminate some risk factors that contribute to the formation of pimples.
* Two main factors influence the onset of pimples: the inheritance of the disease and the hormonal balance. Therefore in some individuals, despite their recommended in this article, the pimples may still occur with some frequency.

Health Benefits of Peanuts
The peanut is a grassy plant belonging to the family Fabaceae (or Leguminosae), native of Brazil and cultivated a little all over the world. The edible seeds of this plant are subject to intensive agricultural and industrial activities. From the pressing of peanut oil is obtained the same name, quality suitable for human consumption. It is high smoke point, the cost substantially lower than in olive oil and a delicate flavor, making it particularly suitable for frying food.
In America, peanuts are consumed mainly in the form of a preparation called buttery peanuts butter (butter peanut). This food is very popular in Europe where they consume mostly roasted peanut. In this trade are both woody pods that preparations shelled roasted, salted and eventually crushed.

How to Deal Itching During Pregnancy
The itching sensation is fairly common in pregnancy, especially in the abdominal region, in the breasts and extremities. The cause is often represented by the physiological changes associated with pregnancy, although in many cases there is no direct correlation between itching and pregnancy; this unpleasant symptom may in fact be triggered by factors beyond as allergies or food intolerance, dry skin or eczema.
The hormonal and bodily changes associated with pregnancy may still worsen the itch, or even represent the primary cause. Consider, for example, the voltage which is subjected to the skin of the breast and abdomen during the nine months, especially during the last trimester of pregnancy. It also increased levels of estrogen help to stress test the elasticity of the skin, increasing water retention and volume of tissue, and finally, immunological changes can exacerbate certain allergies, including food.
No coincidence, then, the itching usually appears towards the third trimester of pregnancy and tends to increase progressively until delivery, and then disappear within hours or days following the happy event.
Estrogen and increased fetal size are also involved in the occurrence of specific liver disorders, absent in non-pregnant patients (though sometimes common among women taking contraceptive pills, for the aforementioned predisposing role of estrogen). There is talk of cholestasis of pregnancy to indicate a liver disease that occurs mainly during the second half of gestation, becoming manifests with intense itching, rising transaminasemia modest and sometimes jaundice. The itching is probably caused by the accumulation of circulating bile turn determined from the rising volume of the abdomen and cholestatic estrogen.
Similarly to the previous conditions, including cholestasis has a benign course and disappears after birth but may reappear in subsequent pregnancies or with oral contraceptive use. The disease also can cause some problems to the fetus, since it increases the chance of premature delivery, fetal distress in labor and the possibility of birth asphyxia. For this reason, if the itching is very intense and is suspected cholestasis of pregnancy, it is important to contact your doctor as soon as possible, that the mother and fetus undergo a series of diagnostic tests. If the itching is intense or blood values showed a particularly marked cholestasis, are prescribed to clean the blood from the bile (cholestyramine). If health conditions so require, may also be induced premature labor.
In a small percentage of women itching in pregnancy is caused by a condition known as urticaria papules of pregnancy. More common in women who expect their first child or twins, manifested by the appearance of itchy red spots in the abdomen, especially near the stretch marks, which may also extend to the rest of the body sparing the face. This condition, although very annoying, does not cause particular problems or the mother or the fetus, the treatment involves the application of cooling lotions or creams / moisturizers and possibly in the acquisition of specific drugs under medical supervision (usually antihistamines).
Drink plenty of water is very important and helps to relieve the itching keeps skin hydrated, reducing water retention and preventing dehydration and for this it is useful to avoid extremely hot baths and use mild detergents.

Weight Loss, Cure and Symtoms
Summary
Although it is the desire of many, especially women, continued weight loss may be a sign that something is wrong. And well then investigate One of the most common obsessions today is that of thinness. Women young and old, but increasingly also men, are all to be able to lose their excess pounds. Almost everyone, in fact, are just happy they perceive that the needle of their balance has dropped more than they should, regardless, though, that sometimes a sudden drop in body weight may instead be a signal that anything positive.
From the medical point of view because, when the weight loss (considered as a weight reduction of 10 percent or 15 percent of ideal weight) occurs in a time too quickly and steadily, it means that something is goes.
If the thinness comes in conjunction with a diet that you are facing, however this should not justify excessive weight loss than expected.
Where, however, without the presence of obvious causes, lost over two kilos in the space of just nine or ten days, and the phenomenon continues over time, well suspicious.
In all these cases, you should contact a physician to undergo a thorough examination and, when necessary, laboratory analysis (both blood and urine) to make a picture of the overall health of the body and, if is the case, to investigate the activity of the thyroid gland, if that works in excess can cause a sudden weight loss.
IN SPRING
During the years when the spring or summer come suddenly with intense heat waves or with temperature changes are not indifferent, it can happen to lose your appetite for some time. Nothing major, but in this case it is best to try to stay "fresh" as possible and eat with plenty of fruit and vegetables.
As manifested
Sudden weight loss is often caused by factors little worrying and maybe repeated many times throughout life.
IN CASE OF INFLUENZA
A strong attack or a flu, dental problems causing pain can affect appetite, causing you to lose a few pounds without compromising in any way to health.
DURING A TRIP
Other situations very common, but often cause a drop in weight, are traveling abroad in countries where dietary habits are very different than usual. No problem: just try to adapt to the new diet.
IF YOU CHANGE POWER
When a person decides to radically change their daily diet, such as becoming vegetarian, you may notice a few pounds to lose, especially in the early days of the change. This is not a problem, but only signal that the body is getting used to new ways of taking food.
Body tilt
The causes of weight loss, which may be identified are essentially divided into two categories:
- Physiological causes (ie natural);
- Pathological causes (ie linked to diseases).
The first come into play when weight loss is determined by alterations in normal bodily functions, not caused by disease or trauma.
A common physiologic causes of weight loss is the change in eating habits: typical in this respect is the change in normal life due, for example, to a new job, which forces a hasty meal at the bar.
If we must get used to dine with downed a sandwich in a hurry to run back in the office, it can happen that, in the long run, will determine effects on weight.
The activity
When there is a change in physical or working, you change, inevitably, the daily energy expenditure of calories, then you must ensure adequate food to follow.
In fact, if you change the usual work with another that involves a greater physical effort and no increases with the amount of food assimilated, the body, to continue to real enough energy, it will use stored fat resources, reducing the Within a short time.
Likewise, if you suddenly begins a new and expensive forms of physical activity without adjust their daily diet, you risk incurring the same problem.
Stress
At certain times of life, can be subjected to strong emotional tensions that are very likely going to also affect body weight.
In the event of bereavement or when you lose your job, it is normal that the situation of distress that has arisen also affects their willingness to feed.
However, stress is a disorder difficult to categorize because each individual has different manifestations. That is not surprising if, for other
people, anxiety due to negative situations leads to an increase of appetite and unusual voracity.
Diseases
In many cases, the sudden and unexplained weight loss is caused by diseases and disorders that can affect both the body organs for the assimilation of food, as in the case of:
- Intestinal infections
- Alterations in absorption,
both parties are not directly related to the digestive system, but which may affect the energy body, as in the case of:
- Thyroid disorders,
- Tumors.
In case of diabetes
Disease that affects young people suddenly (type I diabetes) or already old (type II) diabetes results in a constant and rapid weight loss at an equally steady and rapid increase in appetite and food consumed.
The cause of this serious disorder must be sought in the sudden and excessive increase in the amount of blood sugar (hyperglycemia).
This significant increase results in a greater loss of sugar through the urine and in the long run, the reduction of fat deposits in humans.
The cure for diabetes usually requires the administration (subcutaneously) of insulin, the hormone that allows cells to consume sugar, avoiding it completely expelled from the body.
Malabsorption
When a person who eats the right amount of food and follow a balanced and varied diet, however, presents problems of thinness, the cause may stem from impaired absorption of proteins, vitamins and fat content in foods. Food malabsorption can be caused by some disorder, the most common of which are:
- Celiac disease, ie intestinal intolerance to gluten and food in which this substance is present (bread, pasta) and often can also cause a severe diarrhea
- Whipple's disease, which causes fat deposits in the small intestine through the fault of which the food that arrives is not absorbed but excreted in the faeces.
Special Issues
Depression
Many times, those suffering from depression tend to lose appetite and thus weight loss rather abruptly. Only in some cases, defined atypical depression, people tend to have a huge hunger, a compulsive desire for food, especially carbohydrates (bread, pasta). However, in most cases, the loss of interest in respect of life typical of depressive illness, causes a rejection of both the pleasures of the table is the desire to feed themselves adequately to the needs of the organism.
Alcohol
People who have problems with alcohol dependence, or that are used to consume large quantities of alcohol, easily and gradually lose your appetite. This happens because their body derives its need for calories ingested alcohol, and consequently no longer feels the need to be nourished with food and regular meals.
Anorexia
Often the result of psychological or nervous disorders, anorexia mostly affects women particularly sensitive periods of their lives, such as adolescence or the arrival of old age. This disease leads those affected to refuse any type of food and food for very long periods of time, and endangering all the vital functions of humans.
Digestion
Another category of disorders that leads to problems of weight loss is that regarding the changes in digestion. In these cases, the amount of food ingested by a person is correct, but the troubles in the digestive system does not allow proper absorption.
Consequently, the foods are almost completely expelled and the person lost weight.
The major digestive problems are:
- Failure in the functioning of the pancreas usually caused by hormonal problems, affects the process of digestion of food causes nausea and diarrhea
- Shortage of production of bile: port to damage the digestive system, as the task of bile is precisely to facilitate the work of such apparatus
- Infections caused by bacteria and parasites that creep in the digestive tract, and especially in the gut. Cause a major disruption to the work of the intestinal mucosa, making difficult the task of absorbing and digesting food. These are in fact rejected by the intestine eg patient expelled through diarrhea.
Among the intestinal parasites most popular is the tapeworm, or "tapeworm" that eating the food ingested by the host, prevents man to absorb the nutrients it needs.
The CANCER
A sharp weakening of physical, coupled with a rapid weight loss, can unfortunately be the first sign of a tumor. Indeed, when the body develops cancer cells, also undergoes a process of impoverishment of all those who may be his humors.
The development of cancer - so the disease is called in medical terms - means that the tumor mass, gradually increasing its volume, treats from all the healthy cells as much energy as possible. This phenomenon naturally leads those affected to a very rapid and obvious weight loss, despite
their appetite remains constant.
Too many hormones
A sudden weight loss can sometimes be caused by the dysfunction of the thyroid gland, which deals with the production of hormones responsible for managing several important metabolic functions. When the thyroid gland does "too much" and would produce an excessive amount of hormones, the agency pays the consequences. This disorder, called hyperthyroidism, comprises an inordinate increase of cells that form the body, because of which they are consumed amounts of protein, carbohydrate and fat content much higher than normal. Consequently, those with this disease sometimes eat more than normal, but nevertheless continues to slim down.
There is also another type of weight loss associated erroneous hormone production, caused by malfunction of another gland that provides the production of hormones: adrenal gland
This disorder - also called Addison's disease - is caused by the underproduction of cortisol and adosterone, whose deficiency causes the body to a lack of appetite and vomiting.
Gland under fire
The thyroid gland is often the culprit of a sudden weight loss. If it produces too much hormone, causes a speeding up metabolism, ie an energy higher than normal.
Although it is the desire of many, especially women, continued weight loss may be a sign that something is wrong. And well then investigate One of the most common obsessions today is that of thinness. Women young and old, but increasingly also men, are all to be able to lose their excess pounds.
