Heart Fat Implants Could Regenerate Damaged Hearts
Research published in the Journal of Molecular and Cellu Cardiology and performed by Spanish scientists established that the fat of the heart, implanted into damaged organs could regenerate. Even on other hearts that have suffered a myocardial infarction. The Health Research Institute of Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol in Barcelona has investigated the ability of fat has on the regeneration of heart damage from a heart attack, whether it’s to our own hearts, and to other organs.
Study
* There have been heart fat implants from 140 patients undergoing open to rats and mice.
Results
* After artificially induce a heart attack at the animals, it was observed that the implementation of such stem cells allowed us to reduce myocardial injury caused by a 33 to 43%.
* This should be due to the ability of these cells having to turn into heart muscle and small blood vessels.
Unhealthy Diet Increases Heart Risk in Obese Adolescents
Adolescents who are obese do not have enough fresh produce, dairy, or fiber in their diet and may be more likely than normal weight adolescents in the development of heart and other health problems, according to a new study.
This does not mean you do not feel well as young people, but that their diets are not good for long-term good health.
The researchers analyzed blood tests of 33 young obese between 11 and 19 and compared the results with those of 19 normal-weight young in the same age group.
Diet quality is considered poor in all study participants. The obese adolescents had about the same daily intake of calories, protein, grain, and lots of fat, but significantly fewer servings of dairy products, fruits and vegetables.
Among the key findings:
Metabolic abnormalities suggest that the process of developing heart disease has already begun in these children [obese], so it is essential to make the ultimate lifestyle and diet changes, says lead study author Ashutosh Lal, MD, Children’s Hospital and Research Center in Oakland, California
In the study, obesity was defined as body mass index (BMI) greater than 95 percent of children of the same age. Normal weight was defined as having a BMI below the 85th percentile.
In terms of numbers than you might think that these children may feel sick, but did not, “said Lal. They are apparently feels good, but there are many things under the surface.
In all young people to test, obese and normal weight children alike, quality is considered poor diet – low in fruits and vegetables, fiber and dairy products. Children of obese and normal weight reported in questionnaires that ate similar amounts of grains, protein, fat and total calories.
However, portions obese youth reported significantly fewer dairy products and fruit tended to lots less. Their diet also was lower in vitamin C, vitamin D, potassium and vitamin A, found in fortified dairy products and brightly colored fruits and vegetables.
Researchers say that doctors should pay more attention to what young patients are eating, because the quality of the diet was low in normal weight youth and those who were obese.

The Problems of Stress
Currently, the problems of stress affecting all kinds of people. We all talk about him but can we define it without fear of being wrong?.
Stress is an automatic reaction of the organism to a situation of danger, whether an illness, a responsibility, air travel, etc. Through this reaction triggers the release of brain neurotransmitters, hormones, etc..
