Satisfy Your Needs with Natural Food Supplements Targeted

To stay healthy, the first two rules to follow are to combine a healthy balanced diet with the practice of physical activity. However, for some people, this is not enough to keep their joints in good condition. Doctors advise when to use food supplements to relieve joint pain such as arthritis.

Deficiencies? Solutions.

Deficiencies of vitamins and minerals have a direct effect on joint function. A lack of vitamin D, for example, increases the risk of developing osteoarthritis. Scientific research has particularly demonstrated the feasibility of treating arthritis by taking treatment consists of several dietary supplements. We now have safe and effective options to prevent patients to turn to risky treatments, prescription drugs, injections or surgery.

Two components of dietary supplements have an effect particularly effective in relieving joint pain: glucosamine and chondroitin.

Glucosamine, carbohydrate created naturally by the body, improves joint function, reduce cartilage loss, reduce the need for physical therapy and even surgery. It is currently recommended to be taken in doses of 1500-3000 mg / day.

Similar studies on chondroitin, present in the body tissue, have shown improvements in pain and joint function. People with arthritis do not naturally produce enough glucosamine and / or chondroitin. The use of dietary supplements can enhance their natural inputs, feel fewer genes and thus reduce or eliminate the taking of anti-inflammatory drugs. Doctors usually prescribe doses of 800-1200 mg of chondroitin per day).

It was highlighted that patients react differently to taking glucosamine and chondroitin. Some of sufficient intake of these two components, others need to link the two begin to feel relief in joints. Still, some people are not significantly reduce pain. However, be aware that long-term treatments reduce future loss of cartilage and avoid the declaration of new pain.

Health professionals also advise patients to prevent the loss of cartilage in enriching their diet with ingredients known for their benefits. Fatty fish rich in omega-3, are recommended to accompany the treatment of arthritis. Taking 300 mg / day (IAS Unsaponifiable Avocado / Soybean) has anti-inflammatory and relieves joint pain. Curcumin, extracts and powders of green mussel, devil’s claw, ginger, extracts from hops and other spices and herbs are also known for their virtues on the joints. It is now possible to treat effectively.


China in 2012: Less Growth and More “Stable” Social

Reduced growth, social stability in rural areas and military efforts: Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has traced the course before parliament this year for China to face global economic challenges, the revolts of the peasants and rivalries in Asia.

In his traditional policy speech before the National People gathered in full in the imposing backdrop of the Palace of the People in Beijing, Wen outlined for nearly two hours the challenges for China is emerging where the arrival of new leaders.

Taking into account the continuing crisis in Europe and the timidity of the recovery in the U.S., its two largest partners, the second largest economy this year has cut its growth target to 7.5%, against 8% per annum last, announced Prime Minister.

Gone are the days when China could register, and 2010 (10.4%) rates of growth of its Gross Domestic Product by double digits. Having declined to 9.2% last year, growth should slow in 2012 Register sustainable and shall be, according to economists, around 8 to 8.5%, government objectives are consistently exceeded.

Before some 3,000 delegates attentive, some in military uniform or in ethnic costumes, Wen confirmed the willingness of Beijing to revive economic reforms, which according to many observers, has stagnated for two or three years, including limiting the weight still huge, the state sector.

China wants to “break the monopolies” and “encourage private capital to enter the railways, municipalities, finance, energy, telecommunications, education and medical care,” said the head of government , in tune with the latest recommendations of the World Bank.

Inflation, although it has declined, will be closely monitored and Wen Jiabao announced the same goal as last year: 4% for 2012, after a real rate of 5.4% last year.

With the upcoming Communist Party Congress in October which will ratify the arrival of the leaders of this country of 1.35 billion people over the next ten years, the Prime Minister stressed the importance of maintaining social peace, especially in rural areas shaken by revolts against unfair land expropriations.

“The right of peasants to the land they work on contract, on which their house is built (…) property rights are conferred by law and no one can violate those rights,” he said.

Wen made the remarks in the aftermath of the election, because Democratic singular, a municipal committee in the village of rebel Wukan (south), where the inhabitants had driven the corrupt local officials who seized their land for years to resell them to developers.

“We will work diligently to identify, record and certify the ownership of land,” added the Prime Minister.

He also promised a governance “clean” and “severe punishment for (frames) corrupt.”

About the widening gap poor and rich people going from bad to worse with the people, Wen said Beijing would “quickly reverse the widening gap of income”.

On the military front, China will this year accelerate the modernization of its army – the largest in the world in terms of staff – he said the day after the announcement of a double-digit growth (11.2% ) the defense budget.

“We will build the capacity of the armed forces to accomplish a variety of military tasks, the most important is to win local wars by appealing to information technology,” said the Prime Minister.

Statements that could enhance the concern of the United States, which announced in late 2011 their “return” in Asia-Pacific. As well as China’s neighbors who are concerned about territorial ambitions in Beijing with rising maritime sovereignty disputes.


Health: Should We Avoid Teflon Pans?

Because they may contain PFOA, a toxic substance, the non-stick coatings Teflon are less popular. Is there really cause for concern? What are the alternatives? An update.

The chemicals group DuPont, inventor of Teflon, has just introduced its new generation of coatings “based chemical formulations that are more conducive to sustainable development”. Understand that the manufacturing process no longer requires PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid), whose toxicity is recognized by the U.S. Agency for Environmental Protection and the EU (and carcinogenic effect on the child during pregnancy, decline of male fertility). An expected announcement, the group’s commitment to stop using PFOA no later than 2015, after a vast scandal in the U.S. in the 2000s that earned him nearly $ 400 million in fines and restitution . It appeared that the firm had concealed internal studies on the toxicity of PFOA , used to assist polymerization of Teflon, and had heavily contaminated soils and waters around American factories and organizations his workers.

At lower levels, consumers are also exposed to PFOA. To reassure their customers, some brands now ensure that their pots and pans with Teflon coating are no PFOA. This means that he has no reason to worry? “Tests conducted regularly since 2003 show that the products marketed by Tefal do not contain PFOA” , assures Eric Nicollet, QA manager Seb Group .

But how is this possible since the raw material purchased to line the pans, PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene, Teflon polymer composed), may still contain PFOA (to date, 30% of the purchased material still shows traces indicates Seb)? Thanks to the manufacturing process, we explained it: “The coating is sintered at a temperature of 415 ° C for about 5 minutes. The boiling point of PFOA is 190 ° C. This temperature is therefore largely exceeded during sintering of PTFE, and for more than 10 minutes. This explains that after this curing operation, Tefal products are free of PFOA. ”

Really no PFOA?

A record 60 million consumers, dated March 2010 is along these lines: tests conducted by technicians authorized by the magazine did not detect traces of PFOA in non-stick coatings of several brands. And even a Teflon pan would contain traces of PFOA, AFSSA (French Agency for Food Safety) in 2009, considered the negligible health risk, indicating that even under severe operating conditions, the TDI (tolerable daily intake) is far from being reached ( see PDF here ).

Not enough to reassure Marie-Monique Robin, author of Our Daily Poison (available on DVD). In this documentary, she denounces precisely these health authorities fail to recognize that endocrine disruptors such as PFOA may have effects even at very low doses. “What is impressive, as shown in several studies is that our bodies are impregnated PFOA, but also of bisphenol A, phthalates … And these molecules interact, but health officials do not care! If we continue like this, in 20 or 30 years, it will be a real bloodbath, with an explosion of cancers and neurological diseases. ” In addition, PTFE, Teflon base polymer, releases of toxic substances at high temperatures (when we forget the empty pan on the fire for example).

Conclusion: the radius Teflon, choose a product guaranteed without PFOA and please respect the terms of use. It is also best to get rid of your old pots and pans coated with Teflon which one is not guaranteed without PFOA, especially if the coating is damaged or scratched (the contact of food with aluminum is not recommended, it promote the development of Alzheimer’s disease).

Alternative anti-adhesive or not

Of course there are other solutions. While the non-stick coatings ceramic (silica) “slide” a little less than Teflon, but they are a priori less harmful … Provided that you choose: prefer a coating guaranteed free of heavy metals (for entry-level models may contain lead, cadmium, chromium …). Furthermore, it was said that nanoparticles, which is known about the health effects, are used by manufacturers of coating, often from South Korea. “It’s true, but there is no more nanoparticle arrival ” , ensures Amaury Bahgat, director of Karis (Aubecq brand), who is willing to provide the consumer of certificates to that effect.

Finally, it may also waive the non-stick coatings and opt for quality stainless steel (dosage 18/10 – 18 wt% chromium and 10 wt% nickel – is recommended) or unglazed cast iron ( enamel contains lead). But be careful, be sensible: do not use more fat for cooking with a non-stick because it’s not good for your body …


Organic Food Market: Competition Looks Tough

The consumption of organic products is growing rapidly for several months. While the bio sharpens the appetites of all professionals in the food chain, a study released Monday, Feb. 6 by the firm Xerfi and is intended for manufacturers and distributors of organic products, says that competition will inevitably lead to the future. So what strategies and adopt positions to stay competitive in this market?

The bio disrupted by an economic environment heckled

The study found the food chain as a whole will remain under pressure until 2013. “Faced with threats of purchasing power (inflation, wage pressures), the French will conduct arbitrations in their expenses, including food. These will increase by less than 1% by volume in 2012 and 2013. It is in this context that the players bio, farmers, food manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, will evolve in the coming months “explains the firm Xerfi.

Actors bio will adapt to new expectations of households

Powerful motors on health, environment, ethics … have so far focused on the organic market has doubled in size in five years to reach 4 billion euros in turnover in 2011. However, operators should consider other consumer aspirations that grow in the image of the notion of proximity become very valuable to us in the food chain . “The proximity primarily concerns products produced locally: the locavore offer, the local cuisine or” Made in France “. This” locavorisme “amount is an opportunity for players bio” Made in France “but also a threat to the extent that it represents a competing offer for the consumer and often unfaithful zapper “the study says.

The need for differentiation given the increased competition

On agricultural and food industries: The constant increase in demand for organic products processed encourages a little more food manufacturers to expand into the niche. Thus, alongside the historic market specialists such as Distriborg, Leah Nature or the SME Senfas, many LPNs (agricultural and food industries) “conventional” references in developing their bio (Charal, Bonduelle, Heinz, Materne … ). “They will, however, soon develop their brand strategies in the bio to gain notoriety and legitimacy. This is not a foregone conclusion as shown by the recent announcement of Duke poulterer of its intention to market by 2015 some 15,000 organic chickens a week. This has indeed created an outcry in the French organic sector because Duke is based on European regulations, more flexible in terms of number of days of rearing and link to the ground, the aspects decried by actors commela FNAB (National Federation of Organic Agriculture) “explains the study Xerfi.

On distributors: “Credibility is also a playing card by distributors. On the one hand, the food retail continues to expand its organic offer, particularly through its private label (Bio U, Carrefour Agir Bio, etc.). and communicates heavily on its low price. On the other, dedicated circuits, which have lost market share in recent years, banking on the “ethics” and count themselves as the most legitimate actors in the world of bio in France. Some of them (Biocoop, Biomonde) are also a stakeholder in the new label “organic coherence” (0% GMO, 100% organic) launched in 2010 “indicates Xerfi.

Regarding the restaurant: The study “players the catering did not remain insensitive to the prospects of bio in France. catering companies in particular (the SRC) have incorporated more organic offerings specifically aimed at schools. And for good reason: the French government in 2008 set a target of 20% of organic produce in the menus of public schools in 2012. This constraint has gradually become a tool of communication for the CBC that make the “Nutrition Health-sustainable development “one of their lines of development. From the restaurant trade, organic offerings are less represented in the absence of stress, although some fast food chains riding the wave of” Fast Good “(Planetalis, Exki …)”.

Thus, although the sector of organic food seems not caught the crisis, sales of organic products should continue to grow. Bio The Agency also will unveil a few days in its annual survey on the consumption of bio in France. And it is likely that a war between distributors should begin as soon the coming months and which promises the coming years. Between supermarkets and specialty stores, it will in all cases the consumer choices that will establish who will win.


Nuclear: Claude Allegre Receives an Oscar “Atomic”

Claude Allegre on Monday received the prize in Paris 2011 “Atoms for Peace” award two international pro-nuclear for his role in “the preservation and development of the French nuclear industry” …

The price “Atoms for Peace” is awarded since 2007 by the International Institute for Sustainable Peace (IISP) based in Japan and the World Council of Nuclear Workers (WONUC) headquartered in France.

Claude Allegre is thus distinguished “for the important role it has played and continues to play through its publications, speeches, lectures for the preservation and development of the French nuclear industry , the world is modeled, “according to two organizations.

“I’m not part of the nuclear lobby, but now stop the nuclear for France, it would be suicidal,” he told AFP.

In his speech, Mr Allegre has even said “outraged by the propaganda from Fukushima.” “The 25,000 dead, it’s not nuclear power plant, the tsunami, we should not mix everything up,” he said and to AFP. It must be said that Claude Allegre has always denied the nuclear disaster in Japan . “At Fukushima, there was certainly an accident but there was no nuclear catastrophe,” he said already April 21, 2011, in an interview for Current Values.

The Charter of the “pro-nuclear”

The association “Atoms for Peace” (the Atoms for Peace “) is so named in honor of President Eisenhower, who suggested in a speech entitled” Atoms for Peace “, delivered at the UN General Assembly, the creation of an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This non-governmental association based in Paris (16th arr.), a principal activity “support any initiative aimed at peaceful use of energy nuclear. “For the association, nuclear energy work promotes” sustainable peace “for the planet.

The association has a “Charter of nuclear,” also called “Code of Ethics nuclear”, and that can be discovered on the site www.atoms-for-peace.org .

What does this Charter? Excerpts:

Nuclear power “is of profound dynamism of people wanting to put their knowledge at the service of humanity, for his well being and development”.

“The use of nuclear energy shows with particular intensity of the issues raised by industrial society, and more broadly in our society. Should we then reject it, as the power of wealth must then be reported as potentially perverting the man and make him lose his soul, passing the man, as Pascal had indicated, the state of angel than beast. Should it be adopted as standard and as a model, the atmosphere rustic and pastoral descriptive narratives of a lost Eden, stick to the rules set out the division as part of a subsistence economy where the amount of goods produced and consumed must be exactly constant and when it was not reduced by natural disasters or conflicts generators famine and misery? ”

“For nuclear workers, and in conscience, nuclear energy appears to be the best answer to the problems of our time . It is neither an end in itself nor a panacea. It is a way we deem legitimate and acceptable because safe, economical and ecological. The many controversies about this form of energy, often caused by manipulation of a credulous public opinion, the judgment weakened by repeated since the Chernobyl accident, slanderous campaigns, fears about waste management, almost obsessive anxiety caused by the mere mention of the word “radioactivity” are, we like it or not, become hard facts that the application of positive law is not sufficient to satisfy . ”

“Nuclear power, and therefore the ethical imperatives of its use, are at the crossroads of political futures, economic societies. In this sense the approach of the World Council of Nuclear Workers is part of the consciousness of humanity TODAY ‘Today. ”

For the association and its members, “continued research and development in the nuclear field is and remains a priority for governments and for those responsible for the nuclear industry.” And the Charter states that “the Nuclear power has a role in defining and implementing a sustainable development policy , projects related to uses of nuclear energy taking into account ecological, economical use of natural resources and their impact on the environment and the preservation of habitats. ”

The atom would be a “benefactor”

“Take his car on Sunday is a risk much, much higher than nuclear!” Claude Allegre wrote in his book “Should we be afraid of nuclear power?”.

The catastrophe of Fukushima in Japan has once again reminded, however, if proof were needed, after Three Mile Island in the U.S. and Chernobyl in Ukraine, that nuclear energy has very high risks to the environment and our health . While accidents are very rare. But, we can see, they are unpredictable and when they occur, it is extremely difficult if not impossible, to master the runaway of the atom. The only possible thing is to try to limit the damage.

The consequences of a nuclear catastrophe is clearly seen are disastrous: the irradiation plant personnel, irradiation of the inhabitants within a radius of up to several tens of kilometers around the plant, and final mass evacuation of the surrounding population on a very wide area ; soil contamination by radioactive particles whose half-life may exceed several centuries; permanent ban of access to the contaminated area; contamination of ground water and sea water or rivers that are used for cooling reactor and radioactive fuel used; air contamination at the local level but also globally in the event of explosions and radioactive cloud formation ….

Faced with these major risks, combined with the fact that theit remains unclear permanently eliminate large quantities of radioactive waste produced by nuclear plants , we present the expected benefits outweigh such energy independence. But this independence is relative because it is necessary to procure uranium from some producing countries, particularly Africa. And when you see how Africa is destabilized politically, we can ask questions. Besides uranium is not inexhaustible. And prices of this raw material, such as oil, can in the coming years, explode.

Remains the main argument: nuclear plants do not emit greenhouse gases. And it is also based on the argument that France lobbied the European Commission for nuclear power is classified as clean energy, as well as solar and wind .. . We must dare!

No, although very important, this argument can not prevail alone against the risks. Especially that there are other sources of clean and renewable energy . And the French have understood this as evidenced by a survey conducted for Ifop France Soir in April 2011, which found that 56% of French people are worried by the stock of our 58 nuclear power plants, and that 83% of French, of all political persuasions, wish that nuclear energy is reduced in favor of other energy sources .

“The real debate is not” for or against nuclear power “,” is that of nuclear safety. “Yes it is the eternal debate. But you can see how Japan, the new world champion technology, which was not even afraid to build plants in earthquake zones, so he was sure of the effectiveness of its security measures, and had planned everything, is now in a lamentable situation, forced to tinkering, improvising, facing a catastrophic situation for human and environmental consequences unbearable.

How Claude Allegre, a former minister of research and senior scientist, and may continue to deny the obvious and cautioner an energy that many countries are questioning …

Germany has decided to leave the atom by 2020. And we can not say that the Germans are irresponsible people who have suddenly decided to break their economy, and light up the candle . No, quite the contrary they are well placed to know that there is in the renewable energy potential to gradually replace nuclear power: they are in fact become one of the leading global green energy.

In June 2011, with a participation rate of 57%, well above the necessary quorum (50%), the Italian referendum has turned into a show of force against nuclear power with nearly 95% of voters expressed their opposition to the atom.

In Japan, tens of thousands of demonstrators, including members of the Japanese intelligentsia, marched across the country after the nuclear disaster at Fukushima demanding “an end to nuclear power plants.” According to several surveys, 82% of Japanese want their country today that sort of nuclear energy and 67% more demanding than any reactor is built in Japan. Because “the risk of nuclear power is too strong,” Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan has himself expressed the wish to “move towards a society that can live without nuclear reactors” in July.

Claude Allegre can now enthroned his Oscar “atomic” on her mantelpiece.


Health: A New Virus Attacks the French Cattle

Cattle and small ruminants in 14 counties have been affected by the previously unknown virus Schmallenberg.

This new virus which was first identified in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium in the second half of 2011, was found Jan. 25, 2012 in the North-East of France, then in the North and Normandy. A So far, 14 departments are affected.

Cases of acute infection with this virus have been observed in cattle in Germany and the Netherlands between August and October 2011. And since December 2011, cases of malformations associated with this virus have been reported in sheep and goats, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.

“There is, for now, no restrictions on trade in live animals and their products from affected areas, or any measures of prevention and control advocated,” says the National Health Security ( handles). Nevertheless, she says surveillance was set up by Directorate General of Food (EB). This is a clinical surveillance of birth defects in newborn ruminants to detect virus circulation Schmallenberg in the metropolitan area, with increased surveillance in areas most at risk of virus introduction, namely border regions with Belgium and Germany.

At February 3, this device has already confirmed the presence in France of the disease in more than 50 sheep farms of 14 departments (Aisne, Aube, Bas-Rhin, Calvados, Haute-Marne, and Meurthe-Moselle, Meuse, Moselle , Nord, Oise, Pas de Calais, Seine-Maritime, Somme, Vosges).

Bruno Le Maire Minister of Agriculture took the handles to assess the impact of this new disease on farms. Anses was a panel that will make its first conclusions from this February.


Cancer: Avoid Fat Burned!

Cooking fat foods, can cause the formation of mutagenic substances that can cause cancer.

Grilled over a wood fire with friends, as friendly as they are, can have grave consequences for our health.

And polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), highly potent mutagens, such as benzopyrene, are formed during the combustion of fat meats cooked on the barbecue, wood or charcoal. They are also found in toast.

Lipid peroxides, which are involved in rancidity and are involved in the process of cellular aging and mutagenesis are also alumni of fat burned or used in frying. In acrylamide, a carcinogen and reproductive toxicant molecule, heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) some of which are classified as “certain carcinogenic to humans”, and whose ways of contamination may be respiratory, digestive or skin, are also formed during heating of foods.

Small amounts of acrylamide are thus in chips , cookies, pastries and bread crust, and traces of HAAs in meat and fried or grilled fish and foods subjected to intense and prolonged cooking.

The fat burning are particularly to be avoided.


The Athletics Track Is Ready for London 2012

New stage in the run 2012 Olympic Games: The running track of the Olympic Stadium officially opened in 2012.

Correct Writing: Experience with Spelling

* Why real writing is so important.

* What experience with the spelling reform were made.

* How can the spelling dictionary and its App.

Unit case 130 years and still doubt

For over 130 years of German unity, there are letters, and yet seems real letterToo, so the correct usage of words and punctuation marks, for many people one of the biggest personal challenges in everyday life.

This has probably also in 1996, which came into force Spelling Reform not much has changed. Quite the contrary, the revisions to the reform in the years 2004 and 2006 the general feeling of insecurity rather have contributed, especially as are allowed in some cases different spelling to this day, as the example Delfin / Dolphin clarified.

No wonder then that after a survey of Allensbach Institute among 1820 people about 64 percent of respondents do not pay attention to proper writing. 42 percent are also of the opinion that the verbal skills have deteriorated.

book The question is, how the Internet and social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Xing reinforce this trend with its fast pace of linguistic carelessness yet.

According to the dictionary – a book?

That this need not be so real and writing is possible, shows that instance is started from the year 1880, the decisive impulse for the introduction of a mandatory writing: the Duden spelling!

The fact there is today not only as a book, but also as an example "App"Look at the iPhone, as online test on the internet or even as an award-winning spell checking for word processing programs like Microsoft Word.

This enables not only the current Spelling Rules directly in the text to be checked and corrected, but the punctuation, grammar and writing style. Error can not be explained only in German, but on request also in other languages ​​such as English or Turkish. And in cases of doubt, with several spelling variations allowed the Duden recommendations provide for clarity and correct writing.

Even today the right way of dealing with the German language is an expression of Education and as a condition for professional Success.

Round care in terms of "correct writing" it is therefore, if you opt for the combination package of Duden for desk and computer. The book and the Software in the compact version can be as good as any open question to spelling.
