Sport in the lifes of children and its benefits http://fivefoodgroups.net/sport-in-the-lifes-of-children-and-its-benefits/ http://fivefoodgroups.net/sport-in-the-lifes-of-children-and-its-benefits/#respond Wed, 09 Nov 2016 08:17:06 +0000 http://fivefoodgroups.net/?p=1722  

Healthy eating is very important for us and our children, but we need to think of course also about our healthy physical development as an important indicator of our health. For this children need sport and also games. Sometimes kids don’t like so much to go to sport club or gym for boring working out, they more like games. One of the best solution of this problem is a combination of games and sports.

Many parents wonder what is the role of sport in children’s lives and what are it’s benefit, what are the positive aspects of it.

Unfortunately, today’s children prefer to spend their free time sitting in front of the TV or computer, thus limiting itself in motion, and forget that  the movement is the natural need of the human body.

What kind of emotions get the boys when they think about  transport? Passenger cars, trucks, tractors, mopeds and much more? Already at an early age boys have a particular interest in the present Transport, asking at  parents to buy them one their own one.

Bicycle and ATV are a powerful and modern tools of healing and support the body (that is right also for adults and kids). Do you know that using of the ARV is considerably higher than many other sports? In this time there is a constant exercise of the eye muscles, refocusing  from the close objects to more distant. This is an excellent means of relaxation from the computer work!

One of the sport games in (usually boys, but sometimes also girls) child life is using electric motorcycle .

Tiger Motors Corporation develops and importer of ETM models – ATV  electric motorcycle for children and youth. Boys like also electric motorbikes, there are different and very attractive types of ATV for older children and teens.1

Interesting facts:

US state of Georgia Specialists Medical Institute, published a rather interesting results of their research associated with riding a motorcycle and ATV.
Scientists have shown that when traveling on a bike, speed is the speed of the human brain, as well as brain activity increased by 10-12 percent.
These changes in the brain caused by using ATV and motorcycle. As researchers found that while traveling on a these machinery the brain receives and processes a greater flow of information than during a trip such as a car!  Studies also had found that ride on a motorcycle is really useful for brain and bone health! Tiger Motors is one of recommended companies that have one of the best models of electric motorbikes.

Riding on a motorcycle (mechanicals and electrical) is improving brain blood circulation and midline structures, it improves memory, stimulates thinking, improves sleep.

Ride bikes of course useful but better to do it, for example, in the parks, rather than on the streets. So biking will take place much nicer.

Again About Cheese http://fivefoodgroups.net/again-about-cheese/ http://fivefoodgroups.net/again-about-cheese/#respond Tue, 19 Jan 2016 12:07:28 +0000 http://fivefoodgroups.net/?p=1696 Recently we‘ve heard a lot that dairy products are not as healthy as we used to think in the past, but a new study recently published cheeses actually responds lost some face health. A study conducted at the School of Dentistry at the University of Michigan researchers have discovered, almost by accident, that cheese can help you avoid 30 different cancers.

According to the study, published in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, the researchers sought to examine the merits of the peptide guard named We tried naturally generated as berry cheese, Camembert and Cheddar. We tried, appears in the form of powder without color and flavor cheeses, has been linked in past research to improve oral health, but the researchers were able to measure the positive effects of the material only in relatively small quantities ranging from 25 to -37.4 mg. In this study researchers were able to distill doses of 800 milligrams of material and forming it into a milkshake, which was given to mice who had cancerous tumors in the neck.

After 9 weeks of treatment experiment 70-80 precent managed to destroy cancer cells. The researchers also found that we tried to be effective even against MRSA germ (bacterium of antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), is responsible for life-threatening infections and sometimes fatal.

NISIN launches his opponents double blow: it binds to bacteria and prevents it from middle to struggle with antibiotics. Treatment-resistant bacteria can be very difficult, if not impossible, and we tried prevents bacteria build colonies and reproduce as a reaction to antibiotic treatment. If human patients will be given substance in the form of a milkshake, similar to how the treatment is given to mice in the experiment, the quantity to be supplied to them would be 20 times greater than the amount we tried perpetuation found in cheeses.

While this is important and significant findings, but Dr. Yvonne Kfilih, a professor at the School of Dentistry at the University of Michigan who is who headed the study, explains that the results were too limited to conclude whether the NISIN will work the same way in humans. According Kfilih, until now never been identified resistant bacterium we tried in animals or humans, suggesting that it may stand the test of time as a tool for effective treatments.

“Nature has made a large part of the research work for us, this material is examined for thousands of years,” said Kfilih press release. “We tried uses advanced beyond the role as a store of biological food. The new findings, together with previously published data support the possibility that NISIN can use to treat bacteria resistant to diseases and cancer here,” she added.

Grow vegetables in your garden! http://fivefoodgroups.net/grow-vegetables-in-your-garden/ http://fivefoodgroups.net/grow-vegetables-in-your-garden/#respond Fri, 16 Jan 2015 19:18:31 +0000 http://fivefoodgroups.net/?p=1607 This year we decided to grow tomatoes in our garden!

 Some important conditions for the cultivation of tomatoes in the  open field:

In the open ground for planting tomatoes find sunny place, protected from cold winds. Unsuitable low, damp areas, with close standing groundwater that create unfavourable conditions for plant root system.

Every good gardener has a compost heap or pit box for compost. Preparation of garden compost  by your own hands does not require special skills or effort, and are cheap. Correct compost will help save other fertilizers, as well as save power for irrigation and garbage, as garden and kitchen waste will go to the compost container.20140719_105336

Tomatoes need all the necessary elements of mineral nutrition, but most of all potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus. Phosphorus deficiency reduces the absorption of nitrogen by plants, which leads to the cessation of growth delay knotting, formation and ripening. When mineral starvation leaves turn blue-green color, then grayish. Tomatoes are especially sensitive to a lack of phosphorus in the initial period of growth, so the soil for planting tomatoes usually immediately make superphosphate .

Feeding  the plants should be throughout the season  and do it better every month. Fertilizer or compost must place between the rows.
Better to make fertilizer 1-2 weeks before planting. And fertilizer should choose a small nitrogen content relative to other components. Proper garden compost is beneficial in every sense. For plants, compost, soil this is a good organic fertilizer, rich in essential trace elements and humus. Soil compost is a natural air conditioning: it improves soil structure, loosens and trap moisture and fertilizer at the roots of plants.

Here is one of mandarin trees that are growing in our garden, too:

Mandarin is very picky about soil composition. It should be light, air and moisture permeable. Soil mix up sheet, sod land and peat, sand and humus, taken in equal proportions. As the tree grows sod land share in the mixture increases.

 Proper garden compost is beneficial in every sense. For plants, compost, soil this is a good organic fertilizer, rich in essential trace elements and humus. Soil compost is a natural air conditioning: it improves soil structure, loosens and trap moisture and fertilizer at the roots of plants.
