1. The fiber tapers
No. We relate take fiber to lose weight, but in reality the fiber or fat or thin. Fiber is the part of food that is neither digested nor absorbed by our bodies because we lack the enzymes that would be required to do so. So do not add calories but not the rest. However, it has wonderful properties it acts as a regulator of intestinal function, prevents constipation, regenerates the intestinal flora and produces satiety thereby decreasing hunger.
2. Margarine is less fattening than butter
No. Both are considered within what are called solid fats. The difference lies in their origin and way different from how you get both. Butter milk is obtained by mixing the batter and cream.
The margarine fats obtained from animals, plants or both which are subjected to a chemical process called hydrogenation, which converts liquid fats into solid fats. It has the advantage that they can produce margarine, unsaturated vegetable oils, but the disadvantage that in the process of hydrogenation changes the chemical configuration of the fat, creating trans fatty acids are unsaturated fats that behave in our bodies as if they were saturated.

The secret of healthy aging could be a proper.
According to new research with fruit flies, a diet with adequate protein mixture could be one of the keys to enjoying a healthy and long life.
Scientists have discovered that manipulating the amount of a unit of protein ingested by fruit flies can extend your life expectancy, without producing side effects in other physiological functions, such as fertility.
Although the effect has not yet been identified in mammals – for example, in mice – promises to shed light on the biological pathways involved in human aging. The hope is that, over time, may be possible to manipulate these pathways with drugs, in order to make people live longer.

Bronchial asthma has been defined as a pulmonary disease characterized by reversible obstruction of the airway inflammation of it and increase its responsiveness to various stimuli.
The airway obstruction in asthma is due to the combination of several factors, including smooth muscle spasm of the route, mucosal edema, increased mucus secretion, cellular infiltration of the walls of airway (especially eosinophils and lymphocytes) and injury and desquamation of respiratory epithelium.
The reaction is exaggerated bronchial respond differently than the bronchi, these same stimuli, in non-asthmatics. We present repeated frames of increased inflammation and bronchial hyper-called crisis or episodes of acute exacerbation.

CPR Components
* Maintain airway (nose, mouth and throat) unobstructed
* Artificial respiration (mouth to mouth) provides oxygen to the lungs where the victim is not breathing, mouth to mouth breathing, alternating with chest compressions in a specific sequence
* External heart massage, chest compression is taking place pressure on the chest wall, with hands placed on the midline at a specific point of the sternum to sink a few centimeters. When performed correctly, these compressions cause the heart to eject blood to other organs
* Call immediately for emergency medical service
