Diet chronobiology. How much effort is needed to lose weight?
The cronodieta developed in 1992 by Italian physician M. Todisco is based on the principles of chronobiology, is the science that studies the biological rhythms. According to this approach to achieve a stable weight loss and / or to stay in shape is not important to pay attention only to the amount of calorie intake but also at the time of day when this happens. More precisely in this diet foods are made by different times of the day according to the nutrients they contain. Carbohydrates, for example are consumed early in the day at breakfast or over lunch, while the protein should be eaten in the evening.
The cronodieta expected consumption of almost all types of food in any quantity and is therefore not necessary to weigh the foods that should be taken daily over 4-5 meals (breakfast, midmorning snack, lunch, snack and dinner). Among these is the most abundant dinner, which along with the breakfast is the most appropriate time of day to consume food rich in carbohydrates such as rice, cereals, potatoes, sweets, bread, pasta and fruit. In the interval of time between waking and early afternoon because the organization is more active and therefore has the opportunity to consume the calories, it follows that the dinner will be lighter meal in which food will be given to high protein foods such as fish, eggs and meat, poultry, milk, cheese, yogurt. The dinner also will not be totally consumed immediately before going to sleep.
Cereals and their derivatives (bread, pasta, rice, flour, bread sticks, biscuits, corn flakes) should therefore be consumed during the first part of the day divided between breakfast and lunch, the same is true for legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas), potatoes as well as more vegetables rich in sugars such as carrots, artichokes, broccoli, onions, chicory, cabbage and tomatoes. All other types of vegetables can be eaten instead for lunch and dinner. Foods rich in protein should be alternated during the evening meal.
Other things you can follow the consumption of fruit that is eaten whole and not in the form of juices and / or juices. It shows the consumption of rice and corn instead of pasta, bread and potatoes and that of whole foods in place of refined, better, for example, eating sugar cane instead of the white. It should also be careful not to bind proteins and carbohydrates in the course of a meal and, similarly, do not drink alcohol or coffee during the first meal of the day meals based on carbohydrates. The consumption of these drinks must be postponed until the evening. Obviously, to achieve good results must be eliminated snacks at night and should be avoided as much as possible the consumption of sweets as well as in all cases be avoided animal fats, cheese, fats, fatty parts of animals, meats and sausages.
Such diets may also require a drastic change in eating habits and thus unlikely to be adaptable to individual needs, it is thought to people on business or pleasure, in case for example attending a gym, find themselves facing a great deal of energy in the evenings and therefore need to take those hours in a larger amount of carbohydrates.

Breastfeed. All the benefits of breast milk
Breastfeeding is the single most healthy and natural that a mother can do for your child. Besides being the most suitable food from nutritional point of view as it ensures the right amount of protein, fats, sugars, minerals and vitamins, breast milk provides the child an outstanding weapon against germs and viruses because his mother at every feeding passes to the child’s own antibodies and other protective factors such as lactoferrin and lysozyme.
Breast milk is also extremely safe as a food does not trigger food allergies and by changing its formula in the day is to meet from time to time the different needs of the small, in the morning for example, when the child needs most energy, is richer in fat and protein. With casomorphin, substance painkiller and sedative effect, children breast, have a more regular sleep and quiet.
Breast-feeding, as well as benefit the health of small, has some positive effects also on the mother: mothers who are breastfeeding their children have a lower risk than other women to develop breast or ovarian cancer and are less exposed the risk of developing the osteoporosis in old age. Furthermore, the suction stimulates production of oxytocin in maternal blood, a hormone that promotes uterine contractions, reducing bleeding after childbirth. Because lactation involves considerable consumption of calories, nursing mothers faster return to weight.
The baby should be at the breast immediately after birth to stimulate the mammary gland and hence the production of colostrums, a yellowish liquid product before the actual milk and rich in substances that stimulate and strengthen the immune system of the child. Colostrums are sufficient to meet the needs of the child for the first three to four days, after which you will have the appearance of breast milk, the so-called lacto genesis. The breastfed baby has to eat as often as you wish, and then feeding should not be scheduled at fixed hours, also exclusive breastfeeding and you should never offer any kind of substitute for small breasts as pacifiers or baby bottles. The feedings should be frequent and close-ups and during the night must meet the same intervals. Because breast milk is composed of 87% of water is not necessary to administer other liquids such as water or herbal teas.
Of course, breastfeed your baby can be tiring but it makes countless benefit mother and child. First strengthens the bond between the two and facilitate the proper and balanced physical and psychological development of the baby. Breastfeeding is also practical, because the child can be fed at anytime and anywhere, and economic, because obviously the mother’s milk does not cost anything! Finally, it is true that there are forbidden foods during lactation, if anything it should reduce the consumption of foods which may also disturb the mother and, as always, limit your intake of alcohol (it is true that the beer or red wine are increase the production of milk!)

Hypnosis to relieve the pain of cancer
Increasingly used in recent times, are the advanced techniques of hypnosis performed by doctors specializing in this area to calm the intense pain caused by cancer and to give to patients with this devastating disease, a life a little ‘more serene.
In support of these advanced techniques is Liossia Christina, a teacher’s University of Wales in Wales. Liossia claims that hypnosis has a high therapeutic potential still not yet fully exploited. Hypnosis, he says, has already been used to stop smoking, lose weight or to combat anxiety and phobias and will be used increasingly in years to come.
We have the scientific evidence says the professor, that hypnosis helps to soothe depression, nausea, vomiting and severe pain caused by cancer, we also found, through research, that hypnosis might prolong life for patients suffering from the disease, but for now we cannot prove it scientifically.
The Liossia, then, with the theme discussed at the annual conference of the British Association for the Association of Science, and says that hypnosis is very important to influence the immune system. Studying children with cancer, it was discovered that those who had been hypnotized before, with the hiring of a local anesthetic, has felt much less pain during surgery, patients who were not hypnotized.
From this, apart from the assertion of Professor John Gruzelier, from Imperial College London, using the advanced technique of “brain-imaging that shows brain activity step by step, believes that when the brain is under hypnosis, there are various changes in its interior and that these changes may help to understand what happens when one is hypnotized and why the brain does all that is asked from the outside.
