According to recent studies by a group of scientists, the great White shark can dive down to 3,937 ft. or 1,200 meters deep. This study was conducted on a4.8 m.Male shark the group called “Cabana”, this shark holds the record with a depth of 3,937 ft or 1,200 meters.

The NIWA tagged this shark to track and study all their movements, so they could try and understand its migration patterns. The previous record was 3,291 ft. The great white shark is protected in New Zealand waters since 2007, but there is little known about its habitat and interaction with other sharks. When this study started 5 years ago, it was thought that they only frequented cold waters, but now they have been recorded visiting moretropical places. Sharks have been recorded to migrate over 2,051 miles.

Great white sharks like “Cabana” have been tagged with electronic cards, for the last 5 years, these tags register location, depth and temperature, after a period of 6 to 9 months it is self-released. This tag floats to the ocean surface and begins transmitting the data via satellite. A total of 6 electronic tags have been recovered by the team since the study begun.

Accelerates Metabolism and Weight Loss

Accelerates Metabolism and Weight Loss

There are many people who would do anything to increase your metabolism, and that once this is achieved, it allows people to burn fat and lose weight quickly with minimum effort. Metabolism refers to the frequency at which the body produces and consumes energy and calories

There are several factors that affect the metabolism of a person, such as the amount of muscle tissue, the frequency of food consumed, genetic issues, digestive system, stress levels, personal diet and activity levels we have.

Here I show you some ways to boost your metabolism:

1. eat breakfast. Many people ignore the fact that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It may seem strange, people who eat breakfast are thinner than those who do not, the metabolism may become slower if breakfast is taken mid-morning or wait until noon to eat.

2. Avoid sugar. The sugar allows the body to store fat. It is recommended that a person eat foods that help maintain a normal level of blood sugar, also exercise two or three times a week to have a stable level of blood sugar.

3. Consume spicy dishes. These spicy dishes help increase metabolism.

4. Sleep more. In one study, people who do not get enough sleep are more likely to gain weight; muscles also regenerate during this downtime.

5. Take more water. The discarded water body toxins that are produced whenever the body burns fat. Most of the body’s functions require water and lack of water in the body makes this lower your speed and functions as undesirable stress occurs as a result.

6. Detoxify the digestive system. A clean and healthy digestive system not only helps the body to operate more efficiently, also provides energy, in addition to having a clean digestive system can make better use of nutrients from food.

7. Eat more recently. We recommend eating four to six small meals throughout the day leaving to spend two to three hours apart.

8. Never skip meals. People tend to skip meals and hoping to lose weight, which is a big mistake as this causes the metabolism to slow down.

9.Plans food to detail. Always prepare the right amount of food they consume.

10.Dispose stress. Whether physical or emotional, this tends to release a steroid called cortisol which affects metabolism also proven that people eat more when stressed.

11.Consume green tea. Can be used as a substitute for coffee, you have the ability to stimulate metabolism, and unlike coffee, it has no side effects when taken frequently during the day.

12.Includes more energy-boosting foods in your diet. Fruits, vegetables, beans and whole foods.

The get the desired body is not impossible if you have the determination and patience needed to stabilize our metabolism, which plays an important role in weight loss. People need to realize that eating right and exercising is a lifestyle, not a luxury. The resist cravings is very difficult for many of us.

Damage the Sun on the Skin

How many of us do not enjoy a beautiful sunny day? In general, we have a good perception of the sun, as we enjoy a warm summer sun burnedweather, especially when it comes to outdoor activities. The sun is an essential element for life on the planet and has positive effects on our body, such as the stimulation of the synthesis of vitamin D.

But we are rarely aware of the damage that the sun’s rays on our skin cause, even if the effects are not immediately visible or short-term, the damage accumulates over time. Solar energy, also known as ultraviolet (UV) affect from the surface layer to the deeper layers of the skin.

Often skin changes attributed to aging, such as wrinkles and dark spots, are the result of prolonged exposure to the sun. Such premature aging is caused by the incidence of sunlight on the skin layers, which deteriorates the production of collagen, free radicals and inhibits the auto-recovery mechanisms of the skin.

Ultraviolet rays are also considered as the greatest environmental risk factor in the onset of skin cancer, which is the most common type of cancer in the United States. This is one reason why in the last years sunscreen has become so important, beyond purely aesthetic consequences. But this does not mean we cannot take advantage of sunny days, or we have to stop enjoying the summer, we simply must take certain precautions to avoid sun damage to the skin.

Obesity and menopause, an inseparable pair??

Obesity and menopause, an inseparable pair??

At menopause, obesity is a risk factor for various diseases, such as diabetes or cancer.

Menopause is associated with an increased weight. Although the changes seen in this stage tend to gain kilos and a change in the distribution of body fat, actually a significant weight increase is more related to ingest more energy than is expended. The following describes why the prevalence of obesity is higher in menopause and what are the risks associated with excess weight. obesidadThere are also several guidelines on the recommended diet for this time.  Menopause is associated with an increase in body fat. According to the Spanish Association for the Study of Menopause, EMEA, body fat ratio, which at 20 years is 26%, up to 33% at 40 years and 42% at 50 years. Although in some women is given a slight change in the figure by the change in body fat distribution, in other was a significant weight gain. However, this would be more related to an increased intake and decreased energy expenditure, which promotes weight gain or worsening of obesity.

On the other hand, according to the study, “Obesity and menopause”, conducted by the Endocrinology Service of the Hospital Universitario de Getafe (Madrid), some causes of weight gain during menopause have no direct link to the menopause itself, but with the age and others depend on endogenous estrogen decline.

Risk of obesity in menopause

At menopause the prevalence of obesity is higher. In fact, being overweight is a recognized risk factor for cardiovascular disease (the leading cause of death among menopausal women is ischemic disease), diabetes mellitus type 2 (for insulin), musculoskeletal disorders (such as osteoarthritis) and some cancers (endometrial, breast and colon). In addition, the risk of contracting these diseases increases in proportion to the increase in BMI.

Obesity predisposes to hot flashes and night sweats arise with greater frequency and intensity

According to the “Clinical Practice Guidelines on Menopause and Postmenopausal” by the Spanish Society of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, the Spanish Association for the Study of the Menopause, Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine and the Cochrane Collaboration, an increase weight and obesity predispose to hot flashes and night sweats arise with greater frequency and intensity. But, according to the authors, it is unknown whether losing weight can reduce the risk of suffering. Also described is that the increased cardiovascular risk is associated mainly to increased risk factors that arise with age. Aging, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, smoking, physical inactivity, obesity and family history are the most important factors, and must be taken into account, which are mutually reinforcing.

Menopause, obesity and breast cancer

According to the Spanish Association Against Cancer, AECC, breast cancer is the second most common worldwide after lung cancer. In our country, about 22,000 cases are diagnosed annually, a figure embodies almost 30% of all cancers in women Spanish. Most are diagnosed between 35 and 80 years, with tipping between 45 and 65. One of the risk factors associated with breast cancer is obesity in menopause. In obesity or overweight, excess adipose tissue (in menopause, most estrogen comes from fat tissue) can increase your chance of getting breast cancer. In addition, obese women have higher blood glucose (blood sugar) higher, which also relate to the development of various cancers, including breast.

Available studies shuffled possibilities: first, it appears that the risk of cancer increases in those who gain weight in adulthood and seems to follow the same pattern in those who have had excess kilos since childhood, and, on the other hand , that excess abdominal fat-besides being a cardiovascular risk factor, increased cholesterol levels and blood pressure, would be more dangerous than the same amount of fat in the thighs and hips.

According to a recent study, published in ‘Cancer Research’, obese women may reduce the risk of breast cancer after menopause if, before entering this stage of life, avoid weight gain. The authors also point out that postmenopausal obese women have increased risk of breast cancer and to suffer worse clinical outcomes than those with the disease, postmenopausal too, are slim.

Diet for Menopause: Recommendations

Although hormonal and metabolic changes of menopause tend to weight gain and a change in the distribution of body fat primarily be banished beliefs as this increase and menopause go hand in hand or as the extra kilos that can not be lost or, as claimed by some myths, it may even be harmful. Overall, the diet for women in menopause is not too far from the recommendations should take into account the rest of the population.

Ensure the intake of calcium, vitamin K and magnesium. Therefore, it is ideal to consume fat dairy, oily fish and vegetables (especially greens).

Increasing levels of vitamin D, which is found in foods such as milk and eggs. Ensure daily sun exposure 15-30 minutes, at least, on face and arms.

Reduce salt intake.

Increase consumption of plant foods for their contribution in phytoestrogens such as soy isoflavones.

Increase the intake of fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains and nuts and reduce the consumption of fatty foods.

In addition to these diet tips, experts stress the importance of following a healthy lifestyle, leaving toxic habits, such as snuff and alcohol use, and increase physical activity, which will help keep a lid on cardiovascular risk factors and to improve the mood of women, as well as promote the maintenance of bone and muscle mass to prevent fractures and slow down the aging process.
