Insufficient water intake can cause health hazards reduced gray matter
New research by British scientists shows that if people lack drinking water, can cause reduced brain gray matter, thus increasing the difficulty of the brain to think. As we all know, water is the source of life, 80% of people drink the water into the blood, on the life and health is extremely important. U.S. cancer researchers, and Japan, MD, Lin Xiuguang Raymond’s findings show that cancer and other diseases, first of all are due to changes in the characteristics of intracellular water caused. Therefore, the key anti-cancer treatment: the chemists at the same time, let the steady stream of good water, stuffed in the cell, the cell to create a healthy and clean living environment.
So, water quality and quantity of drinking water per day and is closely related to human health.
Research shows that lack of drinking water will make smaller brain
May 20, the British Daily Mail newspaper website reported that drinking water is not enough if the human body, it may lead to reduced brain gray matter, thus increasing the difficulty of the brain to think.
Research shows that dehydration affects not only the size of the brain, but also affect the brain works. The absence of water in the body, the gray matter to deal with the same information will also be forced to work harder. Researchers believe that as long as 90 minutes of continuous sweating, brain aging is like reducing the extent of the narrow-year-old level, the average narrow the amount equivalent to aging 14 months the amount of brain volume loss, or put on two Alzheimer’s disease After half the amount of brain atrophy. The study shows that the brain normally easy to work, people must maintain adequate drinking water.
A British team of scientists on some scanned the brains of young people, some people wear clothes that help sweat of the three, others wore shorts T-shirt, traveling light. In contrast, tightly dressed people out of about two pounds of sweat, their brain tissue was reduced. When asked to play a can test planning and problem-solving computer games, the sweat and more student performance as well, but the scan showed, during which they use the brain more.
In addition, a number of teenagers riding a bike a half hour later, King’s College London Institute of Psychiatry and ?????? grid Matthew Kempton said: “We see the expansion of fluid-filled ventricle , and the corresponding reduced brain tissue, the largest weight loss rate of the brain also reduce the maximum. “Day after day, week after week, water shortages are likely to work, grades and examination results affected. However, we all do not panic, because a glass or two of water to replenish the brain will quickly return to normal.
Experts pointed out that good water can be a healthy drink
So, we drink every day how much water the body can meet the normal need it? Ministry of Health in 2007 issued “Dietary Guidelines” requirements, people meet daily health standards for drinking water not less than 1200 ml; expert advice about the best kept at 2000 ml, the most critical is the water should be selected when the real good water.
So what kind of water is good water? China’s water nutrition expert Professor Li Fuxing that good water must meet five criteria: First, water pollution own security; 2, Department of small molecules of water; 3, was a natural weak alkaline (PH value of 7.0 or above); 4, Rich with a variety of essential minerals and trace elements; 5, the best source for the natural, not artificially create.
In this regard, Professor Li Fuxing that good water is alkaline mineral water is natural. First of all, real mineral water is a natural form of small molecules of water, and life on the cells can be very harmonious coexistence and integration; Secondly, the real value of alkaline PH of mineral water can effectively maintain and reconcile the human blood weak alkaline, to prevent major diseases and delay the aging human body; In addition, the natural mineral water is rich in calcium, strontium, sodium, potassium and other essential natural minerals and trace elements, can complement the loss of many minerals the human body . Therefore, high-quality mineral water on human health benefits to human lot, the proposed regular consumption.
Unpalatable food is the most nutritious food
Coarse bar mouth, sour lemon, garlic Taichong, bitter bitter … … a lot of food, “taste” often be prohibitive, but they are respected nutritionists are health food. Do food is “good medicine tastes bitter” it? Nutritionists have for the “Life Times” reporter expounded a reason.
Fat astringent food. Associate Professor of Food Science, China Agricultural University, FAN Zhi-hong said the unripe persimmon, purple grape skins, which are astringent heavy food. Food in their astringency of tannin, phytic acid and oxalic acid caused. These substances are powerful antioxidants in the prevention of diabetes and high blood lipids useful. Moreover, the same kind of fruit, made a higher nutritional value of astringent varieties, such as sour apple and sweet than the big apple good.
Rough food. Coarse grains such as bar-mouth, difficulty chewing the celery and cabbage upper pole. This is because these foods are rich in insoluble dietary fiber. May be that these dietary fiber can help prevent constipation, prevent cancer, favorable metal ion discharge, help the body detox, lose weight. Cooked the fish in the draft, Pork and other high-fat dishes, rice pudding and other desserts to make blood sugar rise quickly, animal offal, egg yolk, when high-cholesterol food, are crude and effectiveness of food the best time.
Bitter food. Like lemon peel, tea, dark chocolate, etc., which are rich in a variety of glycosides, terpenes and polyphenols, is that they allow the food to become bitter. Such as lemon peel and grapefruit peel of Naringin, tea polyphenols, red wine, chocolate polyphenols, can prevent cancer and heart disease, but also to bring a bit of food taste bitter.
“Impulse” food. Such as radish, garlic, onion and so on. These foods taste very red, and even finished there will be odor. The reason is that they contain glucosinolates substances and diallyl disulfide, these substances are helpful in preventing cancer. Such as garlic is one of the “health guardian.” Large epidemiological survey, long-term consumption of garlic and garlic-producing areas and populations, the cancer incidence rate is significantly lower.
“Smelly” food. Durian smells strongly, it was “malodorous” It is no exaggeration. But in Thailand, because of its high nutritional value, often used as a patient, post-partum women Replenishing body tonic. Xiangya Hospital, Central South University professor of nutrition LI Hui-ming said the durian of heat, can activating blood circulation and cold, relieve dysmenorrhea, especially for women troubled by dysmenorrhea food; It can also improve symptoms of abdominal cold and cool, can promote increased body temperature is cold tonic ideal of physical persons. Durian Although a lot of advantages, but not one to eat too much, otherwise easily lead to body heat, but also because of stomach caused by not fully absorbed, “lit.”
“Strange incense” food. Some food is to the “Hong” character name, but the taste is very strange, such as coriander, Chinese toon, etc.. B content in a lot of cilantro, this substance can help the body absorb the minerals, protection of bone, the most suitable access to the elderly after the age of 40. Parsley is also rich in iron, calcium, potassium, zinc, vitamin A and vitamin C and other elements to help maintain blood sugar stable, and can prevent cancer. The Toona sinensis extracts and contains volatile aromatic organic compounds, can be whetting the appetite, increased appetite. It has heat and dampness, diuretic detoxification of the efficacy of adjuvant therapy is enteritis, dysentery, urinary tract infections medicine. Some studies show that vitamin E and containing Toon sex hormone substance has anti-aging and nourishing yin and yang effect on infertility has a certain effect, therefore, “progesterone” reputation.
Spicy food. Food is generally spicy or volatile sulfur compounds from the capsaicin provided. With the analgesic effect of capsaicin, but also improve the metabolism, burns fat to play, lose weight. Traditional Chinese Academy of Sciences, Professor Yang Li told “Life Times” reporter, strong spicy mustard, with a strong stimulating effect, can adjust the female endocrine system, enhance sexual function, but also to stimulate vasodilation, increased facial blood to run, so that women face more rosy. Mustard choke nose is the main component isothiocyanates. This component will not only prevent tooth decay, but also prevent cancer, prevent blood vessel plaque deposition, supporting the treatment of asthma also have some effect. In addition, the mustard also prevent high blood lipids, hypertension, coronary heart disease, reduce blood viscosity and other effects.
Sour food. Shaguo, hawthorn, pickles and so on. Their acidity is citric acid, malic acid and other organic acids caused by these natural acids can promote the absorption of minerals such as iron. The same species of fruit, acid taste in general vitamin C content higher vitamin is also more stable and easier to save.
Love the sweet, fine, fragrant food, do not like the bitter, coarse food — in fact from our very young, this taste had formed. It also can not blame people picky. In fact, these health components, also have some side effects — in large enough dose that it will impede the protein, starch, calcium, iron, zinc and other nutrient absorption. In millions of years ago, or even just four or five years ago, people do often over livestock feed in the day, time, people’s main concern is not suffering from diabetes, heart disease, obesity, but rather how to avoid malnutrition. Not difficult to understand, from an evolutionary and genetic perspective, the human body naturally to hate these substances to their time in contact, the senses will be expressed strong feelings of revulsion.
But now, our diet and their ancestors have been completely different, more worried about is how to prevent obesity, how to reduce blood fat, how to reduce the risk of cancer. So, we have the taste of the times it yourself?
