Primates decreased their food intake by 13% and increased their resting metabolic rate by 29%.
French scientists discovered new properties in the phytoalexin resveratrol, a substance of which were known anti-aging effects and is now able to avoid revealing that certain primates gain weight.
Said today the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), resveratrol, found in grapes and derived products such as wine, "decreased weight gain among the lemurs," say the makers of this institution, which has conducted research published in the journal BMC Physiology. "
"The results provide new information on the effects of resveratrol on energy metabolism and control of body weight among primates", say the scientists, who believe they can help "improve understanding of the factors leading to obesity humans. "
Resveratrol, which can also be found in berries or peanuts, applied to lemurs of 8-10 years (animals with very marked seasonal physiological rhythms, since their metabolism and weight varies depending on time of year), shows a " immediate effect on the weight of the animals.
After four weeks of treatment, lemurs decreased their food intake by 13 percent and increased their resting metabolic rate (which represents part of their energy expenditure) by 29%.
"The intake of resveratrol allowed the animals to slow down your weight gain in one year period in which they tend to get fat to store as much energy before the season of reproduction," the researchers explain.
The primate study also increased their temporal temperature, which suggests to scientists that the application of treatment with phytoalexin "also modifies the energy strategies."
The results allow us to understand better the factors that control the balance between inputs and energy costs "and is" an important step in developing treatments for obesity, "the human being, say those responsible for the research, led by Fabienne Aujard .
An ancient infant massage stimulates the development of smaller
Known as Shantala, in honor of the Hindu mother who created the technique promotes "a special contact between mother and baby." A specialist told Infobae.com that "children who receive services in Neonatology recover faster"
Infant massage is ancient. Born in southern India in a place called Kerala. It is an ancient ritual practiced by all mothers to their children.
More than 30 years ago, the French physician discovered Frédérik Leboyer in one of his trips to India, where watched a young mother gave him massage your child on the streets of Calcutta, and in her honor called this massage Shantala , name that is known in the West.
Infobae.com Speaking to the degree in Psychology Marisa Russomando (MN 23 189) defined Shantala massage as "a special contact between mother and baby."
After reviewing the Indian origin of art, motherhood and parenting specialist remarked that Eastern philosophy "is another time, another pace and that inspired the French physician to pay particular attention to what the mother did to her child."
To Russomando, the effectiveness of these massages not only lies in the tact, if not in contact and the benefits it generates: "The touch of human hands in the baby's body sets in motion neural currents that stimulate the Nervous System Central (SNC) and whether that hand is also that of his mother everything is special. "
Area Director of The Stork said among the benefits of this technique CNS stimulation, favoring the maturation of the respiratory and digestive systems, relief of colic and the predisposition to good rest. "
"Babies born with health problems and receive infant massage services Neonatology recover faster," said the professional, who remarked that "there are many studies that prove this benefit for the baby, who is recovering, and the mother, which is not isolated from her son. "
Russomando said that in several countries of the world and develops what is known as "kangaroo program," which is "to encourage parents to be in contact with your baby because it confirmed that the recovery is quicker." In Argentina, Sarda Maternity applies it in the public domain.
While the benefits are organic and accountable for the professional, "the most important has to do with the special bond that developed between mothers and babies."
"Usually moms spend all their time with your child during the first months of life, generally in regard to the routine and do not spend a time other than as required by the massage," said Russom, who particularly stressed that "in Shantala massage are available for a little while to be with undivided attention and availability for the baby."
The psychologist noted that the ideal is to do infant massage from the first month of life (the positions and technique involving crosses not advised prior to that time), but "always seeking approval from your pediatrician, who increasingly recommend massage as part of the routine. "
"If the baby receives these massages from the month, when it comes to years of life knows what it likes and when it is placed in position and time availability is increasing."
The ideal routine for best results
"Shantala massage, bath, food and sleep" should be the order in which they develop this "ritual" if what is sought is to relax baby for better sleep.
"Cramps are always present at the same time (between six and seven o'clock in the afternoon) so the idea was well ahead and do the massage in full crisis, which generally coincides with the time when Mom is tired" advised Russomando.

What's behind the violence and addiction
Specialists say they can only be manifestations of a depressive state. Why depression is a "social epidemic" and how they treat traditional medicine and alternative therapies.
The newspaper now faces Argentines to different manifestations of violence: at home, in the street, at school, at work. Physical or verbal abuse, was found in almost all activities of daily life. In some cases, an underlying addictive behavior, and not just drugs or alcohol. For example, the mistreatment of employees of a superior workaholic.
However, both violence and addiction can only be a manifestation of much deeper psychological picture: depression. "Indeed, not only depression symptoms manifest themselves known by almost everyone: insomnia, sadness, eating disorders, hopelessness, and so on. In what is called 'masked depression' classic manifestations are absent and irritable people may occur, violent, with addictive tendencies. What often underlies depression is a picture that is not presented in a 'classic' "he said to Hugo Infobae.com Lerner, vice president of the Foundation for the Study of Depression (Fundep).
Then there would be a not so forced relationship between violence, addiction and depressive. This would say that a person suffering from depression is not isolated from its surroundings, as popular belief would indicate, and even has a direct influence on it. "Unable to think about depression as an entity away from the socio-historical context," said categorically the specialist, and called for understanding "most comprehensive human suffering, which exceeds the biochemical and biological explanations.
For Lerner, the depression is then a "social epidemic", which runs at a rapid pace in Argentina and the world and is in intimate connection with everything around it. That is why the obstacles facing the construction of the identity of the "subject argentino" when trying to implement projects to achieve equilibrium play a central role when a fall or no depressive symptoms.
"For a huge majority, Argentina has become a major area of quicksand, with no firm ground to support it. For someone to be integrated into their environment and become subject, must have a stable and predictable. If the surrounding social environment is fluid, unstable and unpredictable it is unthinkable that a person can become a free subject of changes in self-esteem, "explained the expert.
He added: "We should only look at the convulsions that have gone through and probably find other significant correlations between increasing demand for clinical depression, subjects apathetic, hopeless and a society with social crises, lack of credibility in political leadership, violence, unemployment, feelings of social dislocation, inability of many subjects to imagine a future, assembling a project. "
"Depression, subjects hopeless, apathetic, sad they have been mounted to stay for unpredictable weather," Lerner concluded.
