Cooked vegetables may contain more antioxidants

Although some people think it is better to eat raw foods, there is evidence that the nutritional value of some vegetables increases when preparing cooked or steamed. In a study published in late 2007 in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry compared the effects of three methods of preparing food, namely: boiling, steaming and frying on the nutritional content of carrots, zucchini and broccoli . It was found that the boil and steam them were preserved antioxidant compounds whereas frying caused a significant loss of these compounds. In the case of broccoli found that you steam content increases compounds called glucosinolates that help fight cancer.
It is true that cooking vegetables destroys some vitamin C they contain. However, vegetables contain other antioxidants than vitamin C and some of these require heat to be released by the plant cells so they can be absorbed by the human body. In research conducted at Cornell University in New York was found to cook the corn cobs in turn produces an increase in antioxidant level. One of these antioxidants is ferulic acid. This is a substance contained in various foods of plant origin. Ferulic acid, usually is attached to the cell wall, state in which it is not easily absorbed by human body. Cooking, however, makes it releases a large amount of this substance.
Moreover, it is important to note that it has been found in fried foods, baked or prepared on the grill or barbecue there is a harmful substance known as acrylamide is created can increase the risk of several cancers. In food, boiled, however, this does not happen.

approved new treatment for depression

A depression treatment known as transcranial magnetic stimulation or TMS for short in English, was recently apoB in the United States. This treatment is to induce a small current Power in the brain by releasing a tool magnetic pulses through the skull. These electrical currents excite the nerve cells or neurons, thus triggering brain activity. The magnetic pulses are directed to the prefrontal region of the brain with the idea of \u200b\u200bdeveloping a chain reaction that reaches to stimulate deep brain regions, particularly the one known as the limbic system, believed to be primarily responsible for controlling our moods.
transcranial magnetic stimulation is a noninvasive procedure that typically takes place in sessions lasting between 30 and 45 minutes and requires no anesthesia or hospitalization. Treatments are usually held five times a week for a minimum of ten sessions. In some cases it takes up to 30 sessions before achieving positive results. To our knowledge the treatment seems very risky. In a study conducted with the equipment approved by the FDA called NeuroStar that the company is manfactured Neuronetics Inc., is not found to cause memory loss or seizures, effects that may be caused by ECT. The main side effect of TMS appears to be a headache. Its main disadvantage is the large number of sessions needed for a short period and the cost which is believed can reach ten thousand dollars some cases.
So far, in the United States this treatment has been approved only for people with depression who have not responded to at least one treatment with antidepressants. These people can offer this new option rather than the traditional option of changing the medication to find one that is effective.
patients in this group of studies seem to demonstrate that transcranial magnetic stimulation can help. In one study 24 percent of patients had not responded to initial treatment with an antidepressant medication responded to this new therapy after six weeks of treatment. However, there are questions about how the results have been interpreted. The National Institutes of Health in the United States are at present conducting an independent study which follows up on 260 patients whose initial results could be available in 2009.

"mental capacity, improve with age?

often happens that when a person over 60 years of age you forget a name or an important fact, those around him think he's losing his mental capacity. Certainly, some people's brain deteriorates dramatically with the passage of time. However, in many cases what happens to the older person who has difficulty remembering names, dates or data is not who is suffering from a loss of capabilities mental or is in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. Rather what happens is that as the years pass the brain accumulates information. This makes the person has a problem concentrating on a single datum. Although, that in this way, this might seem a disadvantage, in many situations it may be advantageous. The brains of young people tend to process information more quickly because they have so many stored data processing, and many mental associations between various information. In reading and interpreting texts generally young people move more but are subject to the interpretation or draw conclusions from what they read. So with various situations of daily living. Older people to have more data available can better analyze and solve problems more accurate albeit more slowly than younger people.
sometimes arise in situations where no one knows exactly what information is important or that could become important to change any circumstance. The already mentioned characteristics of older people can make these young people are better preparadaslas to evaluate these situations.
A researcher who has recently paid attention to this phenomenon is Lynn Hasher professor of psychology at the University of Toronto in Canada collaborated in a review of related studies published in a recent book entitled Progress in Brain Research published by the Elsevier Company.

Carbohydrates "fast" and visual health discoveries about the Garlic

As is well known speed So do various types of carbohydrates increase the level of sugar in the blood varies greatly.
