VERIFY: Does tequila have health benefits? – KHOU

There have been posts and videos popping up on social media touting the medicinal benefits of the clear liquor, saying it helps you sleep, lose weight, and can even cure a common cold. But are those claims true?

There have been posts and videos popping up on social media touting the medicinal benefits of the clear liquor, saying it helps you sleep, lose weight, and can even cure a common cold. But are those claims true?

Our sister station,KARE11, spoke to two expert sources on the benefits of tequila:

Phelps brought up agave, a cactus varietal that is the main ingredient in tequila. Some experts tout its ability to replace sugars, aiding in weight loss. Agave's anti-inflammatoryand immune-boosting properties have also been cited, and the website sheknows.com claims the Aztecs used agave syrup to treat wounds because of its antibacterial properties. Three years ago, the American Chemical Society did report that a sweetener created from the agave plant could help certain people with diabetes lose weight.

So if tequila is made of agave it has to be good for you, right? Not so much, said Vander Laan.

"There's not even that type of sugar left in it because it's fermented out," Vander Laan said, talking about the process of distilling agave into tequila.

Does it really help you sleep?

"It's a depressant, so it might help you actually get to sleep, but I'm not sure it's that restful sleep," asserted Vander Haan. The National Sleep Foundation agrees, saying alcohol interrupts your circadian rhythm, blocks REM sleep and can aggravate breathing problems.

How about weight loss? "An ounce and a half of hard alcohol is about 80 calories," says Vander Haan, not even mentioning the sweet, caloric stuff tequila is frequently mixed with.

And that whole dead about curing colds? "They used to use it back in the 30's, back when you could order all sorts of crazy things for the Sears catalog, right? No, there's no evidence to support that," Vander Haan insisted.

At this point, we can safely say KARE 11 has verified that tequila is NOT good for you, despite some of the claims you may have seen on social media. Vander Laandoes say that moderate alcohol use of any variety may have some positive heart benefits for some, but alcohol is also hard on your liver, increases the risk of certain cancers, and can be addictive.

If you're going to drink tequila this Cinco de Mayo, Vander Haan says to do it in moderation, and if you're not a tequila drinker.... don't start swilling it for your health.

Diet Doc Works to Address Underlying Cause of Weight Gain … – GlobeNewswire (press release)

June 01, 2017 01:00 ET | Source: Diet Doc

Houston, TX, June 01, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Many people who struggle with weight loss believe that the solution can be found by simply changing what they eat. Fad diets are constantly changing or repackaging certain strategies that dont often tackle the common underlying issue, emotional eating.

The weight gain plan – Mumbai Mirror

What do you do when youre on the other side of the battle against the scale? Heres how to pile on the pounds safely.

Two weeks ago, Disha Selarka was complimented on being really pretty, but too skinny, the 20-year-old student and freelance image consultant from Borivili tells us. She has been underweight since she was a toddler, and growing up, had a host of unflattering nicknames to contend with. Ive been called a twig, a stick...even sukha bombil (dried Bombay duck), Selarka tells us, sharing that, over time, shes learnt not to take the comments to heart. Selarka weighs 40.10 kg and is 54 tall. That makes my Body Mass Index (BMI) 15.5; ideally, it should be between 18.5 and 23; which means I need to put on a good eight kilos, she says.

Vashi resident, 38-year-old Ramkumar Sundaram assumes that his weight issue is a congenital problem. Hes 56 tall and weighs 68 kg. In his twenties, Sundaram tried hitting the gym, working with dumbbells, gulping protein mixes and shakes and just overeating. Nothing worked, he tells us.

What keeps it down?

Genetically speaking, deficiency of ghrelin or the hunger hormone, can make it difficult to gain weight, says Dr Pratit Samdani, Consultant Internal Medicine at Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre. Fitness coach Nawaz Modi Singhania adds, A small minority of people struggle to gain weight, and theyre usually envied. However, the reality is that inch and weight gain is harder to accomplish than inch and weight loss. Being underweight can come with a multitude of health problems. It could also be caused by health conditions like hyperthyroidism, so the first step is to seek medical advice.

Food, rest and massages

Juhu based dietician Sheela Tanna recommends that those who want to gain weight, include more carbohydrates (whole grains, pasta, bread and roti) and tubers like potatoes in their diet as these convert into fat and sugar, and serve to energise. "Also, consume dairy, because it helps build stronger bones, and helps with muscle gain.

She adds, Eat small meals through the day as this helps in assimilation and proper digestion. Massage is also advisable as this improves blood circul ation, improving digestion, which helps with fat deposition.

Compact servings of nutrition and calories

Health, wellness and fitness professional Kajal Khaturia cautions, Often, those who want to gain weight load up on junk food, so Ive had many clients come to me with this problem, and when tested, we found their lipid profile was haywire.

Khaturia therefore emphasises, Begin at the root of the problem. Is your low weight genetic or do you have a high metabolic rate? If your body burns calories from food fast, then Id recommend having many meals a day and keeping a little gap between meals these meals should be a combo of carbs, proteins and fats. For example, one may have vegetable paratha with a bowl of curd; wherever possible, opt for starchy vegetables, tubers and roots. Another great option is masala dosa as its a nutritive cereal and pulse combination. Fleshy fruits like bananas, chikoos and mangoes are good, healthy carbs. And, switch from wheat flakes to corn flakes, as the latter will not satiate, and youll be hungry again soon. Your calorie count should always be stepped up gradually.

Shake it up

Though it may seem counterintuitive, exercise is essential for weight gain but Khaturia points out, Where I may tell someone whos trying to lose weight to jog four times a week, to gain weight, my advice would be to cut down on cardiovascular workouts like jogging and concentrate on weight training, as this will help build muscle mass.

If you resistance train correctly, you will achieve volume, size and bulk in the correct way and in the correct places, says Singhania who recommends weight training every alternate day. I prefer compound weight training exercises that target many muscles all at once. The trick is to use heavy weights and do fewer reps, she adds.

A 3D-printed rocket engine just launched a new era of space exploration – Professional Engineering (subscription)

File 20170530 16298 10q0h7o

The rocket that blasted into space from New Zealand on May 25 was special. Not only was it the first to launch from a private site, it was also the first to be powered by an engine made almost entirely using 3D printing.

This might not make it the first 3D-printed rocket in space that some headlines described it as, but it does highlight how seriously this manufacturing technique is being taken by the space industry.

The team behind the Electron rocket at US company RocketLab say the engine was printed in 24 hours and provides efficiency and performance benefits over other systems. Theres not yet much information out there regarding the exact details of the 3D-printed components. But its likely many of them have been designed to minimise weight while maintaining their structural performance, while other components may have been optimised to provide efficient fluid flow. These advantages reducing weight and the potential for complex new designs are a large part of why 3D printing is set to find some of its most significant applications in space exploration, with dramatic effect.

One thing the set of technologies known as additive manufacturing or 3D printing does really well is to produce highly complicated shapes. For example, lattice structures produced in exactly the right way so that they weigh less but are just as strong as similar solid components. This creates the opportunity to produce optimised, lightweight parts that were previously impossible to manufacture economically or efficiently with more traditional techniques.

Boeings microlattice is an example of taking this to the extreme, supposedly producing mechanically sound structures that are 99.9% air. Not all 3D printing processes can achieve this, but even weight savings of a few percent in aircraft and spacecraft can lead to major benefits through the use of less fuel.

3D printing tends to work best for the production of relatively small, intricate parts rather than large, simple structures, where the higher material and processing costs would outweigh any advantage. For example, a redesigned nozzle can enhance fuel mixing within an engine, leading to better efficiency. Increasing the surface area of a heat shield by using a patterned rather than a flat surface can mean heat is transferred away more efficiently, reducing the chances of overheating.

The techniques can also reduce the amount of material wasted in manufacturing, important because space components tend to be made from highly expensive and often rare materials. 3D printing can also produce whole systems in one go rather than from lots of assembled parts. For example, NASA used it to reduce the components in one of its rocket injectors from 115 to just two. Plus, 3D printers can easily make small numbers of a part as the space industry often needs without first creating expensive manufacturing tools.

3D printers are also likely to find a use in space itself, where its difficult to keep large numbers of spare parts and hard to send out for replacements when youre thousands of kilometres from Earth. Theres now a 3D printer on the International Space Station so, if something breaks, engineers can send up a design for a replacement and the astronauts can print it out.

The current printer only deals with plastic so its more likely to be used for making tools or one-off replacements for low-performance parts such as door handles. But once 3D printers can more easily use other materials, were likely to see an increase in their uses. One day, people in space could produce their own food items and even biological materials. Recycling facilities could also enable broken parts to be reused to make the replacements.

Looking even further ahead, 3D printers could prove useful in building colonies. Places like the moon dont have much in the way of traditional building materials, but the European Space Agency has proven solar energy can power the production of bricks of lunar dust, which would be a good start. Researchers are now looking at how to use 3D printing to take this idea further and develop complete printed buildings on the moon.

To make many of these applications a reality, well need to research more advanced materials and processes that can manufacture components to withstand the extremely harsh conditions of space. Engineers also need to work on developing optimised designs and find ways of testing 3D printed parts to prove theyre safe. And then theres the irritating issue of gravity, or rather the lack of it. Many current processes use powders or liquids as their raw materials so were likely to need some clever tricks in order to make these function safely in a low or microgravity environment.

Some of these barriers may even require entirely new materials and techniques. But as research goes on, 3D printing is likely to be used more and more in space, even if a fully printed space vehicle isnt going to launch any time soon. The sky is no longer the limit.

Lean and mean seniors – Albuquerque Journal

.......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... ..........

Experts have worried about recommending weight loss to older, obese people because it speeds up bone and muscle loss, increasing the danger of falls and broken bones. Losing weight plus aerobic activity and strength training improved their health more than dieting plus either type of exercise alone.

The results suggest a combination of exercises is the safest approach, and may have big implications for helping people continue to live independently as they age. Medicare, the U.S. health insurance program for people 65 and older, now covers behavioral therapy for weight loss and some plans offer gym memberships.

It is the worst of both worlds, being fat and frail, said Dr. Dennis T. Villareal of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, who led the study under a grant from the National Institute on Aging.

More than a third of Americans ages 65 and older are obese. Obesity can make the elderly vulnerable to medical problems, but losing weight can worsen frailty by hastening muscle and bone loss.

The study, published Wednesday by the New England Journal of Medicine, involved 141 older obese people who were randomly assigned to a diet-and-exercise program. They scored in the frail range on a standard test used with seniors.

Gym members use a treadmill to warm up for a morning exercise class in Addison, Texas, in 2013. A new study suggests that heavy seniors who want to lose pounds safely shouldnt skip the weight machines or the treadmill. (Paul Sancya/Associated Press)

One group did aerobics such as treadmill walking. Another did strength training with weight machines. A third group did aerobics and strength training. All exercised three times a week.

A control group didnt diet or exercise and only attended monthly nutrition classes.

After six months, all the groups except the do-nothing group had lost weight, about 19 pounds on average.

The combination and aerobics-only groups built their ability to use oxygen most efficiently, which can increase endurance. The combination and strength-only groups preserved the most lean mass and bone.

The health differences showed up in follow-up testing where participants did a series of nine tasks including picking up a penny, standing up from a chair and climbing stairs.

Most improved was the combination group with a 21 percent average increase in scores compared to 14 percent improvement in the aerobics-only and strength-only groups.

Its never too late to change lifelong unhealthy habits, Villareal said.

Minor injuries such as knee pain and shoulder pain among the exercisers were not enough to outweigh the benefits, he said.

The study excluded people with severe heart disease and other serious health problems, so the results apply only to people well enough to start an exercise program.

You get more bang for your buck with doing both types of training, especially when it comes to improving frailty scores, said Dr. Lawrence Appel of Johns Hopkins University, who was not involved in the study.
