Sunlight effects, chlorine and droughts because of the dry season will be very dangerous for the beauty of your hair. They can make the hair more dull and brittle than usual. In addition, environmental influences, diet that have a great impact on hair.

Dietitian and author of “Nutrition at Your Fingertips” Elisa Zied help us to choose what useful foods to restore your hair sheen back to normal.

1. Soybean
Apart from being an alternative meat intake, food products containing soy protein and are equipped with Omega-3 fatty acids. Eating soy and tofu will increase hair sheen that comes from omega-3 and keratin, a protein which is an element in the hair.

2. Kale
Let the vegetables raw eaten and gets all the nutrients, but even if you want to cook or fry, kale can still give a lot of vitamin A and minerals. Zied says, vitamin A can help restore dry hair and maintaining healthy teeth, bones and body tissues such as skin. Iron also has the same benefits for the body and also help hair growth.

3. Oyster

When Rafael Matesanz speaks of the great challenges in transplantation, not only speaks of complex interventions, also of cell therapy.

Do you consider cell therapy as the vanguard of transplants?
Sure, the bioartificial organs are the background of the use of stem cells for transplantation. Spain is well positioned, working with a team from the University of Minnesota, to develop bioartificial hearts. We started to do so, the patient’s stem cells. It is a way forward, not tomorrow or the day after, but it is very interesting, because it can provide organs without depending on donations, and because immunosuppression is not needed, because they are made with the patient’s tissues. I think if some fieldwork will open new heights.

We talked long term …
Yes, it is difficult to set deadlines. Stem cells aroused many hopes and expectations. Have been achieved in 13 years many things, but perhaps more was expected of them. The important thing is to let researchers working quietly, without expecting great results in the short term. But at 5, 10 or 15 years, there will be significant results.

When Spain exports its model transplants outside, what do you teach?
Organization, I think the model of Spain has provided the professional system, which is whole structured. And train professionals from abroad. Now, for example, we will form a team in India. And people from Latin America.

This will try to combat organ trafficking …
We help countries to have a transplant and cut with this scourge. There is a disproportion between supply and demand. About 100,000 a year transplants in the world, but demand is one million.

Tantrums are a way of small handling, can take many forms, as anger in the form of tears and the most popular of all: the screaming and kicking.

The tantrum caused when the small order or want something from the parents and they do not satisfy, you can be anything from a hug to a toy. This tantrum can be very intense and long lasting.

To stop a tantrum does not shout, talk, “to reason”, explain or paste. What works great is to ignore the tantrum behavior.

Ignoring a tantrum means stop looking and listening, that is, to express: “I will not ignore”, “do what thou wilt” does not work because we are not ignoring the little one is aware that we are listening.

Ignore the tantrum means that the small ceases to exist when the tantrum begins, and again there for us when we stop.

When the tantrum is a place where it would be very annoying to others endure the tantrum, we take small (ignoring charge) and go to a place where you stop being annoying to others.

A study published in the Spine journal, shows how the stem cells from umbilical cord of a newborn may improve neurological function in rats after acute injury of the spinal cord.

Rats treated in the study of stem cells from umbilical cord blood showed a significant recovery of locomotor function (the ability to move side to side) over a period of one to six weeks compared to rats not he had been subjected to any treatment. In addition, six weeks after treatment, the injured area was significantly lower in animals treated than in untreated patients.

Most spinal cord injuries are compression injuries, which damaged neurons of the spinal cord are still intact, but have lost myelin sheath that helps the brain transmit signals to the body, leaving functional capacity. The loss of myelin does not recover spontaneously after injury, and therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether stem cells from umbilical cord blood could help initiate regeneration in rats with lesions of the spinal cord compression.

Research has shown so far, increasing evidence that these stem cells from cord blood have the ability to help repair and regenerate other cells in the body, regulating inflammation, helping the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and promoting cell growth by secreting growth factors.

This study adds further evidence to the therapeutic use of stem cells from cord blood to repair.

Varicose veins are a common problem that usually strikes women, though, hombrestambién may suffer. They can bring us many problems and even threaten our health, so today we will tell you how you can avoid them. Pay close attention!

First of all let us understand, what are exactly varicose veins? We must know that the veins are conduits for the circulation of blood in one direction, they return blood to the heart. In the case of the legs, these veins have valves which open to stop allowing the passage of blood up and close to prevent it from returning to the contrary. Varicose veins are formed when these valves do not close properly, which ends in a backflow of blood in the opposite direction. As a result of increased pressure which causes the walls of these veins dilate and become stagnant.

It is very important to take special care in summer because the heat has a vasodilatory effect on the veins, which also causes heaviness, cramping, bloating and fatigue. Because of this we should avoid exposing their legs to the sun for prolonged periods.

In addition, it is important to revolve so that blood does not stagnate, for this we can take cold showers, jets alternating cold and warm water. Another option is to opt for cold massage gels from foot to thigh, doing massage for several minutes. We should also practice exercises with legs raised or rest your legs elevated.

Finally, we should stay well hydrated by drinking two liters of water a day, plus a diet rich in fiber and vegetables. It is also important to eat low-salt, moderate spice and avoid fried and spicy.
