Dishes prepared of chi seeds, which else are named «new super meal» starts to win popularity in the world.

Actually they are the seeds of sage hispanica which were daily meal of Aztecs. Seeds were known for that they increased endurance and gave forces. The maintenance of protein, magnesium, calcium, and, the most valuable, the maintenance of omega-3 fat acids is high in them.

The research of 20 diabetics lead in 2007 has shown impressive results. At patients who ate up to four teaspoons of chi seeds every day within three months, blood coagulability has improved, the level of omega-3 fat acids maintenance has increased at 80 % and the blood pressure was normalized.

In experiment on animals the French scientists have proved, that grapes, apples, and also their juices are capable to stop development of an atherosclerosis. Thus it was found out, that juices stop an atherosclerosis even more effectively, than fruit.

According to Kelly Dekorde (Monpele University, France), the author of research, it is appeared for the first time that processed fruit can be more useful, than crude fruit.

To investigate antioxidative properties of fruit and their juices, scientists gave hamsters grapes, grape juice, apples and apple juice. Thus animals received the food promoting an atherosclerosis. Hamsters from control group received their usual food.

At animals which drank fruit juices and ate fruit, in comparison with those who drank water, a level of cholesterol and oxidizing stress were below, they had less fatty adjournment in an aorta. Juice of red grapes struggled with an atherosclerosis most effectively, on the second place there was red grapes, on the third — apple juice, on the fourth — apples.

Authors of the research speak, that antioxidative properties of a product directly depend on the maintenance of phenols in it.

Grapefruits can become new methods of hepatitis C treatment, which is the leading reason of liver diseases. Preliminary laboratory tests have shown, that naringenin, the structure found in grapefruits and other citruses, can constrain distribution of the hepatitis C virus on 80 % that would allow healthy cells to be restored and resist to the virus distribution.

Researchers from the Harvard Medical School mark, that there is «an emergency necessity» for creation of new methods of hepatitis C treatment as the existing methods does not work always and have by-effects.

“But the person can not eat enough grapefruits to receive therapeutic effect, because naringenin is not so well absorbed in intestines, so the preparation naringenin, entered intravenously, would possess medical effect more possibly”, — researchers conclude.

Experts of known American company Ebbot have worked at development of a new version of chocolate. The delicacy contains traditional bitter-sweet taste of dark chocolate and differs by the maintenance of antioxidants, which actually is an innovation.

Under the statement of developers the combination of dark chocolate and such antioxidants as vitamins C and Е, and also a mineral — selenium, is an excellent source of protein and positively influences immune system. The new version of chocolate will be presented in three kinds: double dark chocolate, dark chocolate with almonds taste, and also the one with strawberry taste.

Manufacturers hope, that the new kind of chocolate will attract not only gourmets, but also the people caring their health.

Scientists from California University (USA) have published results of new research according to which the moderate use of wine (nearby 100 g a day) not only does not render harm of a liver, but also prevents development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASG), which is one of the most widespread diseases of a liver.

According to the research, at people, who daily drink a glass of wine, the risk of NASG occurrence is below on 50 %, than at those who does not drink alcohol at all.

«Properties useful to a liver are found out in wine, but not found out in beer and spirits. At their amateurs even under condition of the moderate use, the risk of NASG has appeared in 4 times above. Additional researches will be necessary, to understand if these effects are depend of alcoholic or not alcoholic components of wine», — scientists said.

For the research scientists used the information about 12000 persons. Among them there were 7211 people who were not taking alcohol, and 4543 persons taking alcohol in moderate quantities.

The received result was not influenced by such factors as age, sex, race, educational level, level of physical activity, index of body weight and other parameters connected with health.

Scientists emphasize, that any alcoholic drinks is counter-indicative to those who is inclined to abusing alcohol, also recommendations do not concern those who already has diseases of a liver.
