Currently there is a popular myth that fat in food and in the body is not healthy and is not needed. This statement is not true in part; Human beings need fat, since it fulfills multiple functions in the body, but it must be consumed in moderation and selecting its origin because, in excess and if it is of poor quality, it can cause diseases such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disorders, in addition to discomfort in the person due to aesthetic reasons, heaviness, fluid retention, etc.

Functions of fat in the body:

· It carries fat- soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E and K)

· It is part of the chemical composition of hormones (for example, the steroid hormones of the ovary and testes) and of bile salts.

· It prevents the body from injuries and blows by protecting the organs.

· Helps regulate body temperature.

Present in almost all foods, especially industrialized ones, the consumption of gluten has become common. Get to know this ingredient better and understand what it causes in your body!

What is gluten and what is it for?

It is considered a type of protein, or rather, a set of proteins. In addition, it is normally found in wheat, barley, rye, among other cereals. The combination of the protein’s gliadin and glutenin are what form it. Its use in cooking is not new, as it has been used for many centuries.

Its greatest utility is when it is combined with water. The mixture between the two forms an almost glue-like consistency. For those who have made homemade bread or pasta, it is not difficult to imagine that acquired consistency. By adding gluten in a dough, it is possible to make it more elastic, so it does not break during preparation. That…

Here's a home test for candida that you can do in the morning. The origin of this test to detect candida is not known exactly, but it has been around for a long time and is believed to be very reliable in evaluating symptoms of it:

Test for candida

To detect candida in the body you must perform the following test. When you wake up in the morning, before putting anything in your mouth, generate some saliva and spit it out into a clear glass of water. Within 1-30 minutes, look inside the glass. If there are chains of saliva going down, or if the water has turned cloudy, or if your saliva has sunk to the bottom, you may have a candida problem.

Healthy saliva just floats to the top.

(You may want to put a glass of water in the bathroom or on the nightstand the night before…

Coconut oil was considered a "bad fat" as it contains saturated fatty acids. However, recent studies and research have shown the complete opposite.

A new clinical study has shown that a single daily tablespoon of coconut oil could improve cardiovascular health and promote weight loss.

A diet rich in extra virgin coconut oil increases HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) and decreases waist circumference in patients with coronary heart disease.

To hold great promise in people who are obese, overweight, and at risk of increased cardiovascular disease, pharmaceutical approaches are often not found in the study. Let’s know more about it

Differences between virgin and refined coconut oil

The virgin coconut oil is removed from coconut milk by a process called wet extraction, and is largely free refining.

Brewer's yeast has taken on an unusual role lately, as several studies have shown that this food has multiple health benefits. Before adding it to the diet, it is important to know how it works and how it should be consumed in order to take advantage of all its benefits.

What is brewer's yeast?

Brewer's yeast is nothing more than a single-celled fungus, whose scientific name is Saccharomyces cerevisiae and is commonly used in the manufacture of breads, wine and beers; Since it is a group of living organisms, it is capable of generating carbon dioxide and ethanol during fermentation, which makes the bread grow and the beer form bubbles.

However, the brewer's yeast that we use as a nutritional supplement is not the same as that used for food production, as it is a by-product of the fermentation process. The dry brewer's yeast is cultured, separated from the liquid,…
