This way, there are the food that we can consider to be the principal iodine source, along with the seafood and some vegetables. This does that if we want to prepare a menu with the necessary iodine quantity, we praise ourselves for a plate of scampi (rehogadas, for example), which we can accompany on approximately 100 grams of green Jewish women, a few radishes and half red onion. Since you see, the vegetable is key in this type of micronutrient.

But we have more ways of coming to that one 100 % of the recommended daily quantity (CDR). For example, the wholemeal bread (a slice), 250 grams of strawberries, a natural your, a small piece of black chocolate (one or two ounces, not more) or a milk glass. These are some of the food that make your ingestion of necessary iodine possible throughout one day. There is other food that also can help you to obtain the necessary iodine, like the sardines, the pineapple, the clams, the cockles, the Norway lobsters, the mussels or the garlic, between others.

One of the moments key to take the necessary iodine quantity is during the pregnancy. For it, this mineral is key in the development of the future baby.

It is possible that, in general, the ictus is an illness little known by the society. Nevertheless, it is believed that between 120.000 and 130.000 persons suffer a year this illness. For it, from this health blog we reveal you what are the principal causes that they provoke ictus, an illness that affects 9 % of the population younger than 55 years.

ictus


To start, we would have to know something more to close to the ictus. If we attend to RAE, he says to us that the ictus is a “morbid picture that appears in a sudden and violent way, like produced by a blow. Ictus apopléjico, epileptic, traumatic“. Namely an illness cerebrovascular that it affects to the blood glasses that give blood to the brain.

But centring on the causes that they provoke ictus, we have to depart from the base of which two types of patients exist. On the one hand they are those in that the ictus takes place as a result of a congenital pathology. In this case it is difficult to prepare them. On the other hand there are those who yes can get ready and that are motivated for taking a bad habit of life, propitiated by a bad control of the factors of vascular risk.

After knowing the quantities of iron, calcium and magnesium, it touches him the shift to this important vitamin essential for our development.

vitamin C


One of the myths most honored on the vitamin C is that the orange is the food with more proportion of this type of vitamins.

An orange juice also has consistency sufficient to use himself.

Defeat of the vaccine against the flu A

Everything seems to indicate that the prevention campaign against the awesome flu A has not stayed any more than in that: a campaign. The big psychosis that they have put to us in the body with the problems that might generate the flu A, finally has been that: psychosis. Eye, from this health blog we do not mean that it is a pantomina, but the facts speak themselves: defeat of the vaccine against the flu A.

bovine flu A


And that thing about the vaccine is only an example of many other aspects that have formed the campaign of the flu A. A strong deployment of means that finally, and for fortune, has not been for so much. There is great Community Autonomous that, in Spain, already have deactivated the special prevention campaign against the flu A.

But the really significant thing that thing about is the vaccines. Of the 37 millions of vaccines that they were acquired (a drove of donkeys), it was anticipated that 10 millions would be needed. Well, in the first five weeks (from November 16 until December 20) that the vaccination campaign has lasted against the flu A almost two million dose have been used in Spain. This means that if it continues the current vaccinations rhythm, at the end of the campaign nearly three million vaccines will have put themselves.

What means this, something very simple: defeat of the vaccine against the flu A. Of the 37 millions of acquired vaccines, three millions will be necessary only. One of the errors that have been committed is that it was thought, when there were bought the vaccines, which would need two doses for patient. Another error is that vaccines wanted to be bought to cover 60 % of the population, instead of 40 % initial (and that that the high-risk groups are less than 20 % of the population). But the worst thing of everything is that any more than 45 % of persons of the high-risk groups has not been vaccinated.

Therefore, it seems clear that something one has harmed. And the question now is: What will be done by 34 million vaccines that have not put themselves?

  • The United States and the vaccine against the Flu TO H1N1
  • They prove vaccine against the Flu To in Australia
