Diabetes is a chronic, incurable disease caused by a deficiency or lack of use of insulin leading to excess sugar in the blood. Produced by the pancreas, insulin is a hormone that allows glucose (sugar) in food to be used by cells of the human body. The cells have all the energy they need to function.
If insulin is insufficient or if it does not fulfill its role adequately, as is the case in diabetes, glucose (sugar) cannot be used to fuel cells. It then accumulates in the blood and is then released into the urine. Over time, hyperglycemia caused by excessive glucose in the blood leads to certain complications, including the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and blood vessels.
To date, the actual cause of diabetes remains unknown. We know that certain factors may influence the development of diabetes: heredity, obesity, pregnancy, certain viruses or certain medications.
Types of Diabetes :
There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Sometimes, also develops diabetes during pregnancy (gestational diabetes).
» Type 1 diabetes :
- Type 1 diabetes occurs either in childhood, adolescence or young adults. It is characterized by the complete lack of insulin production. People with type 1 diabetes depend on daily insulin injections to live. It is currently impossible to prevent this type of diabetes. Searches are performed primarily to understanding the mechanisms destroying the cells responsible for insulin production.
» Type 2 diabetes :
- Type 2 diabetes occurs much later in life, usually after age 40. The vast majority of people with diabetes have this type of diabetes (90%). In recent years, we note that it appears earlier and diabetes in certain populations at risk. It can appear in childhood.
It is the type most insidious. Symptoms may be minimal and go unnoticed for several years. Unfortunately, when it is diagnosed, the damage is done.
By providing important corrections to our lifestyles, it is possible to delay the onset of the disease and lessen the impact.
Gestational diabetes :
- Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy, usually towards the end of the second quarter and in the third. It is also known as gestational diabetes. In 90% of cases, it will disappear after childbirth.
- Gestational diabetes (4-6% of pregnancies) affects both the baby and mother. The child may be larger than normal risk of developing diabetes later. For the mother, presence of diabetes increases the risk of infection, increases the level of fatigue and can cause complications during childbirth.
- Gestational diabetes can be treated and controlled through diet and adopting a healthy lifestyle. If, despite these changes, diabetes is not well controlled, insulin use becomes necessary because the use of oral anti-cons is indicated during pregnancy.
The symptoms :
The symptoms of diabetes do not show all the same way or with the same intensity. Whether Type 1, Type 2 or gestational diabetes, a consultation with a physician is required. The symptoms are :
- Exhaustion, drowsiness.
- Increased volume of urine.
- Thirst.
- Excessive hunger.
- Emaciation.
- Blurred vision.
- Slow healing.
- Genital infection.
- Tingling in the toes or feet.
- Change of character.
It should be noted that sometimes the symptoms are not apparent. Diabetes is a serious disease. It can have a significant impact on the quality of life for people living with this disease.

The hair is like a forest : the hair grows, live and dies. The dead hair fall and are normally replaced by young hair. It is considered that hair loss less than 50-100 hairs per day can be normal.
In some cases, hair loss exceeds 50 to 100 hairs a day and then we consider it as a hair loss disease.
» Hair loss takes many different forms, It can :
- Affect children, adults, men, and women.
- Relate to all or parts of the scalp.
- Reveal a normal scalp or scar.
- etc...
» Hair loss can be isolated or accompanied by many signs:
- Tiredness.
- Greasy hair.
- Brittle hair.
- Fine hair.
- Dandruff or crusts.
- Itching.
These signs are all important in determining the cause of hair loss and promoting factors or exacerbating hair loss.
Any hair loss thus requires a medical consultation to determine the cause, sometimes need a blood test, and to establish a treatment of hair loss.
Causes of hair loss :
A fall greater than 60-100 items per day or the appearance of a scarcity of hair (alopecia) may result from several mechanisms.
Hormonal, hereditary (genetic), affects more than half of men.
This is the main cause of baldness in men (75% of cases of hair loss). It is estimated that an increase of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the scalp which makes the hair thin and eventually fall off (the drug finasteride is precisely by blocking the synthesis of this hormone). Hormones including testosterone play an important role, because we know that castrated men do not lose their hair.
Poisoning
Stress (shown by scientific studies from 2005: Following a chain reaction that leads to blockage of the hair growth, which causes hair loss, because they are lost by renewed).
Poor diet (lack of minerals, vitamins or trace elements), in which case prefer natural treatments (wheat germ, ...) to fight against hair loss.
Allergy.
Dandruff.
Side effects of certain drugs (anticancer drugs during chemotherapy, anti-hypertensives, anti-cholesterol, etc.).

Asthma is a disease characterized by inflammation more or less serious respiratory tract, and especially of the bronchi and bronchioles. It results in difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, wheezing or tightness in the chest. Is a chronic disease that occurs most often by crisis interspersed with periods where breathing is normal. In some people, however, asthma induced shortness of breath permanently, that interferes with daily activities.
Asthma is often linked to an abnormal reaction of the airways to various stimuli (allergens in the air, smoke, etc..).
An asthma attack often begins with a dry cough, followed by difficulty breathing, which causes wheezing clearly audible. It is usually accompanied by expectoration of mucus (sputum and cough).
Symptoms of asthma.
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath (dyspnea).

* Tobacco smoke.
* food (food allergy) or food additives such as sulfites.
* Certain drugs (aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, beta blockers used for heart problems or hypertension).
- Respiratory infections (colds, bronchitis, sinusitis, etc..) because they cause inflammation.
- Physical exercise, especially if carried out in winter, in cold and dry.
- Strong emotions (laughing, crying, anger, excitement), especially in children.
People at risk.
- Les personnes ayant une prédisposition génétique aux allergies ou ayant des parents ou des frères et sœurs asthmatiques.
- Les personnes qui étaient de petit poids à la naissance.
- Les personnes fréquemment exposées, dans leur milieu de travail, à des produits chimiques, par exemple à de la peinture, des produits de coiffure, des métaux, des plastiques, etc.

The Question is :
Although the amount of women store more fat stores than men. They feel the cold more than men, so what a reason in that ?
The answer to this question is :
In that fat, which contained a woman's body are usually concentrated in certain areas to keep the rest of the parts of the body without protective protected from the cold.
In contrast, the fat contained in a man's body are usually distributed in a balanced manner on all parts of the body to protect him from feeling cold.
On the other hand, the large number of fat in the body lead to :
Muscle weakness, which will generate heat within the body even in the absence of movement.

French study indicated that exposure to cold water supports the immune system and increases the burning of fat, sugar and strengthens the muscles and fight fat and protect against aging.
The study confirmed that any one person to get used to bathing with cold water it gradually goes from hot water to warm water and then cold and stand under cold water for a period ranging between 3 to 5 minutes.

Tobacco is a plant of the Solanaceae family originated in America, high and broad leaves, which contains the toxic alkaloid nicotine.
Tobacco was introduced in France by Jean Nicot under Francis II and was first used as decorative and medicinal plant ("grass Nicot," "grass for all ills"). Later, they began to prepare its leaves to be popular, chewing or smoke.
On a physiological level, smoking is a complex act. There are over 5,000 components in tobacco smoke. Three toxins inhaled with each puff dominate: nicotine, carbon monoxide and benzopyrene.
Nicotine is an alkaloid that acts on the body as a trap.
Tobacco is responsible for 90% of lung cancers, 85% of arteritis, 65% of cancers of the head and neck (mouth, lips, tongue, larynx, pharynx, esophagus), 40% of bladder cancers, 35% of myocardial infarction (20 000 deaths per year), 25 000 deaths annually from respiratory failure.
Chronic bronchitis in smokers is due to inhaled irritants (nitrosamines) that paralyze the cilia and bronchial immune system and reduce respiratory.
The smoker does not only life threatening. It also poses risks to those around him even if he does not smoke.
There is a poisoning of non-passive smoker by smoker.
Stay in a smoky atmosphere equivalent to the consumption of one or two cigarettes. A child whose both parents smoke over a pack of cigarettes a day at home is twice as likely to be affected by lung cancer.

1 - Poor diet coupled with a lack of exercise, meaning that absorbs more energy than in spending, which logically leads to weight gain.
2 - Too many snacks (without following the usual meal time)
3 - A genetic origin, also called hereditary (due to improper metabolism of fats or sugars)
4 - A lack of physical activity, sedentary (couch potato).
5 - Stress: indeed, this state can promote weight gain, this process is linked to hormones released by stress (cortisol, epinephrine) that may influence on various processes of weight gain as the desire to eat.
6 - Poor diet: too rich in fat, sugar, such as a diet high in sugary drinks, fast food, pastries or in alcohol. Obesity is linked mainly to excessive consumption of sugars, including sugar pastes.
7 - Lack of sleep, nights of less than four hours of sleep. Indeed, little sleep may favor certain active agents in the brain that stimulate appetite or at least not prevent satiety (feeling of having no hunger), resulting in greater weight gain in these short sleepers.
8 - Taking certain medications in the long term (several months) such as antidepressants, antihistamines also exerting a sedative effect (ex. Based diphénidramine), corticosteroids (ex. Prednisone), progestins, the pill,...

Australian study found that sitting for more than 8 consecutive hours a day doubles the likelihood of human infection of heart disease and death, even if the person exercised sport on a regular basis.
The study, conducted by scientists from the University of Sydney and underwent more than 200 thousand people in the period between 2006 and 2012, the percentage of had died because of sitting 8 hours in front of television screens or computer or at work increased for those who sit for less than 4 hours at 40 %.
Scientists believe that sitting for more than 8 hours per day without any movement leads to increased cholesterol in the blood and stored in the fatty components of the grease, which threatens human life, which depends pattern like that of heart disease.
The scientists advised people who sit more than 8 hours against their, movement even for a few minutes every hour, in order to avoid continuing to sit and reflect a negative impact on their health.
But some people get chronic lethargy even in times of work. It causes the wheelchair to allow the employee to travel in the room to work between the computer and typewriter, for example, which reduces the movement to a minimum while performing his job.
There are some previous American research has indicated that one of the causes of chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity and liver disease is caused by the inactivity. Scientists confirm that exercise alone is not enough to enjoy good health, because the foods full of calories in addition to the lack of movement is one of the things that lead to dysfunction.
To get rid of inactivity scientists are advised to exercise daily and walk on a regular basis, as it emphasizes the importance of these walk more than 5 thousand step every day, while others assert that the number of steps must be up to 10 thousands a step per day.

1 - Take a good breakfast :
Do not skip breakfast. This is the first meal after a long night, and your body needs energy to start the day. Breakfast helps to wake up your intestines and begin the digestion.
If you do not take breakfast, you will be more tempted (e) to snack during the day.
2 - Drink water :
Drink a glass of water before a meal promotes good digestion. Furthermore, it is important to drink water to remove toxic substances and waste from your body. Drink 1.5 liters of water per day.
That sounds a lot but it is not insurmountable. Instead, use a glass of water when you're dying to have a refreshing drink. And in the morning, drink a glass of water before taking milk, juice or tea.
3 - Eat at your leisure :
Eating smaller portions, but mostly slow, that's how some manage to hold their line. Use small plates; your body needs less than you think. And it is always possible to have another. Eat at your leisure, chew quietly and enjoy every bite.
4 - Eat at regular intervals :
To aid digestion, it is best to eat at regular intervals. The rule of three meals a day is a good base, but it is also healthier to eat smaller portions more often throughout the day. This will prevent cravings and do not succumb to the temptation to put a packet of biscuits.
5 - Variations on a theme :
Eating healthy means to vary the diet. This allows ingesting a wide variety of foods and giving your body everything it needs. For something different, get inspired by the food pyramid, and anyway, try to prepare different meals each day.
6 - Eat a balanced diet :
if you vary your diet, you can afford to differ from time to time. But it is important that your diet remains balanced. You're offered French fries for lunch? Remember to eat lighter and less fat in the evening. Anything is possible, as long as you follow a certain balance.
7 - Mangez des fruits et légumes en abondance :
Les fruits et légumes sont sains. Ce n'est pas nouveau. Ils apportent en effet une grande quantité de vitamines et minéraux à notre organisme. En outre, ils contiennent moins de calories et donnent une impression de satiété. Pour vivre sainement, il faut donc manger suffisamment de fruits et légumes. C'est pourquoi il est recommandé de manger 200 g de légumes et deux fruits chaque jour.
8 - Eat smart :
A healthy diet requires a good knowledge of food. Just think a little more what you eat. Is it reasonable to stuff yourself with sweets chemicals without knowing how they are made and what they actually contain? Food quality prevails over quantity. If you care more about what you eat, you eat more healthily, naturally.
9 - Move, of course :
Give your body the ability to assimilate food. Sport plays a vital role at this level. After supper, do not throw yourself on the dessert, but will first stretch your legs.

10- Spoil yourself :
Your body needs food to function. The fact remains that eating is all about fun, and your body also benefits. Just go to the supermarket hungry to realize how much the goods seem attractive! You will be surprised (e) opportunities for you to make your meal enjoyable, healthy and varied.
