Scientists have analyzed levels of some vitamins in blood of 698 volunteers in the age of 65 years and above, and then they have compared them with results of three tests — short walk, balancing at place and rise from curtsey.

People with a low level of vitamin E have shown the worst results in comparison with owners of higher level. Other vitamins — folat, В6, В12 and vitamin D — have not affected results of the tests.

Badly organized feed is capable to lead to physical easing of the person. Vitamin E is an antioxidant protecting fibres from destroying influence of free radicals. Besides it participates in formation of red blood cells.

Vitamin E held in germs of wheat, nuts and grains, olives, green sheet vegetables, such as spinach and asparagus, sunflower seeds, soybeans and cotton oil. Additional vitamin E can be received from food additives, however, scientists have noted, that its surplus in an organism is deadly dangerous to the person, therefore observe the dozes specified on packing.

It seams that fish dishes have great popularity, and it is not only because of modern diets, but of a huge advantage of health-giving substances for our organism. Especially it concerns melancholic people.

Recently American, British and Israeli independent researchers have declared independently of one another, that the food which includes fat fish and polynonsaturated omega-3 acids is an excellent preventive maintenance of depressions which reduces risk of their occurrence at 88 %.

British scientists have invented the culinary novelty — food which reduces appetite. Experts from the Institute of Food Researches of the English city Norich have managed to receive the natural additives simultaneously reducing ability of an organism to process fats and activity of those parts of brain which are responsible for ” feeling of famine ”.

Predictably, within the nearest two years on shelves of british shops there will appear food stuffs with the additives overwhelming the excessive appetite. First of all they will please people who likes sweeties, additives will be a part of various cakes having high caloric content, pies, cookies and sweets.

As a result it is not necessary for people to struggle with desire to eat superfluous slice sweet because they can make it and thus to not rise their weight.

Artificial substitutes of sugar lead to weight increase in spite of the fact that they practically do not contain calories. Results of the research lead by employees of University Purdju prove it.

During the experiment researchers have divided experimental rats into two groups, first group received the yoghurt containing usual glucose, the second received the same yoghurt sweetened by saccharin. This substance is hundreds times more sweet than sugar, and thus it practically does not contain calories. Animals were not limited in food.

As supervision have shown that rats received yoghurt with saccharin, raised their weight much more quickly as they ate much more than animals from other group.

In norm sweet taste helps the organism to estimate caloric content of food, starting corresponding digestion processes and limiting appetite. In that case the replacement of sugar by artificial substances can lead to infringement of this natural mechanism of the control.

However, numerous attempts to estimate the influence of artificial substances on person weight until now led to ambiguous results. Partly it is explained by the fact that people are capable to control the quantity of food proceeding from its caloric content.

American scientists have established that the substance, which gives to a grapefruit its bitter taste, slows down distribution of hepatites virus in an organism. In their opinion, the combination of this substance with traditional antivirus preparations can reduce the disease and interfere with transition of a hepatites with in the chronic form.

According to the head of research Rajmonda Chang and its colleagues from Massachusetts hospital, the basic role plays derivative from Naringin — Naringenin. Researchers have found out that this substance reduces the level of the so-called “bad” cholesterol playing the basic role in allocation of hepatites virus from the infected cell and its penetration into healthy cells. Their experiments have shown, that under the action of Naringenin the allocation of virus from the infected cells decreases on 80 %. The great meanin has also the fact that medical concentration of this substance are not toxic for an organism, Chang has noted.
