The sharp is a small fish that lives mainly in the temperate seas. In France, they are found mostly on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, in the Basque country and on the beaches of the Landes. The body of the bright, brown, is topped with a black dorsal fin bristling with quills poisonous. The sharp has a habit of quietly bury in the sand. But if she senses danger, the sharp rises its quills. Thus, it can be stung by intense when you walk into the water. The sting will then inject a powerful venom that causes severe pain. However, in most cases, deep bites are benign. The only concern the risk venom allergy and drowning.
Symptoms of deep bite

Gradually, the burning sensation is spreading throughout the member and may be accompanied by tingling, tingling and numbness. At the place where the strong stitched, heavy bleeding is quite common. The area around the bite or becomes red and swollen. Less commonly, the bite can cause a strong sensation of vertigo, malaise or syncope.

Understanding Allergies cross

The cross-allergy is a common occurrence in persons with allergies. An initial allergic reaction is sufficient to cause new allergies. Most often, these are people with allergies to pollens that are affected. But not only! Almost all types of allergies can cross ...

The allergic reaction

Allergy is an inappropriate response of the immune system in the presence of a foreign substance. The immune system is indeed responsible for defending the body against external aggression. But in some people, the immune system identifies certain proteins poorly, in these foreign substances (allergens). He sees them as aggressors, as well as viruses and bacteria. So, in the presence of the allergen, the immune system will trigger defense mechanisms quite inappropriate: the allergic reaction. Allergies can cause rhinitis, conjunctivitis, oral allergy syndrome (itching and swelling of the lips), asthma, eczema, urticaria, angioedema or anaphylaxis.
And a cross-allergy, what is it?

Surprisingly, some substances have widely separated proteins are very similar. As a result, the immune system sensitized by the first substance, which may react also in the presence of the second substance. Thus, very strange, a person allergic to dust mites may one day develop an allergy to shrimp ...! In the case of a classic allergy, you must first contact for the immune system recognizes the intruder (awareness). The allergic reaction will occur until the second contact. But in the case of a cross-allergy, sensitization has already been made. The allergy can be triggered from the first contact with the allergen.
The most common allergy cross

The most common cross allergies affect both types of pollens, two types of food, pollen or food. People allergic to pollen are usually sensitized to other pollens in the same category (grasses, trees ...). They can also cause some food allergies. Thus, the crosses with the ambrosia apple and peach and mugwort with celery. Birch allergy awareness about the carrot, celery, tomato, soybean, peanut, apple, potato, peach, cherry, pear, apricot and even nutty! There are also numerous cross between food allergies (between pulses from fruits, grains between ...). Pet allergies cause other allergies to animals and their meat. Allergy to cat dander causes allergies for example the cross hairs and pork. Finally, the latex allergy can cause food allergy (banana, kiwi, avocado, melon, chestnut ...).
Diagnose and treat allergy cross

The oral allergy syndrome is an allergic reaction most often mentioned in case of cross-reactivity. But the only way to determine if a person suffers from cross-allergy is the skin test performed by the allergist. In some cases it may also use blood tests or provocation tests. Then, the allergist will advise foreclosure. For example, if food allergy, it will adapt its system. For allergies to pollen, it will avoid walking under high pollination. And allergies to dust mites, it will obviously adapt the living space and ensure its cleanliness. Then, it will treat the symptoms the patient to relieve and prevent the risk of complications (allergic asthma). Finally, the allergist will establish a desensitization treatment. It will target the major allergen, it causes all other allergic reactions.

What to eat at work

The power imbalances often occur due to lack of time. How many of us give time and attention deserved lunch break at work? Between the two papers, three faxes, emails and ten five important calls are always tempted to rush us hungry in a chocolate biscuit, a big slice of pizza "with everything" or a juicy hamburger that devouring the feet and with an eye monitor. Either these ingrained habits of a man who works in the office not only do we figure cabbage, but we also give the head while your metabolism and can lead to serious health problems.
What is the solution? How we can keep an alert mind and a healthy body? The answer is at hand: you have to pay much attention to nutrition, including (or especially!) From the service. Because we spend at work, perhaps most of the time, no matter how much I hated it. And because of displacements and the program will always be difficult to find the perfect balance of healthy food we need and stressful job.
In general the main principles of a balanced and healthy diet are the known parrot by almost everyone (lots of fruits and vegetables, cheese fat, fiber and so on ...), but how to make and put them into practice when must have lunch at the office (or even the office!)?
Because of the program at work, many of us are forced to chew something, or even while we work against the clock to gobble a sandwich on a break. But to properly feed ourselves we have to avoid running the crunching and chewing on all products which were found successful listings with "junk food".

What to eat at work
Given the specific conditions of work each of us should make our first "battle plan" that and keep us.
How can heat food brought from home to work does not really exist everywhere, fast food and fastest solution seems at hand. But you can bypass the focus on food when you can eat at room temperature, such as bread and steak sandwiches with homemade cold (not full of additives sausage!). Home made salads are also a healthier alternative, especially if they bought soaked dressings, mayonnaise and sauces, which, although tasty greatest need, are full of preservatives, starch and other substances whose names we may not even could pronounce, let alone in May and we know and what effect it has on our body ...

Ideas for lunch at work
Can you bring your home to different kinds of salad: vegetables, fish, Chicken or turkey, veal meat, salads that you make and not much fat protein. The station uses a little olive oil dressing or yogurt. Whatever we be tempted to order a pizza lunch together with others, or a kebab, we must not lose sight of the fact that these products, besides being full of saturated fats, are almost devoid of vitamins and nutrients protein and what to say ... And whatever it is, we can not really never know what kind of meat products were used for them, no?
Another alternative preferred Packages junk food or canteen or restaurant is home. If in the area where work is no such thing, most likely the day will have a menu at a reasonable price, so you can eat healthy. A soup or stew, a grilled steak and a light salad, a fruit for the afternoon are much healthier. And after eating you feel you have not gorged and heavy so that when you've just devoured a double pleznesti cheesburger you feel like that then you are not hungry after half an hour. But if you go to a restaurant or cafeteria, remember: no potatoes steeped in oil, spaghetti, and cookies prajelnite insiropate well as a sweet and creamy!

Eating at work: at fixed hours
You have to do and a schedule of meals, eat at the same time every day and do not give up lunch and replace it with chocolate, cola, chips, snacks, popcorn, pretzels ... Sweets seem to keep your hunger at the moment, but you will not forget that although the feeling of fullness, your body has not received the amount of nutrients needed and will not work correctly. Better replace them with fresh fruit. Or even dried fruit.
During lunch break at work you can "hang" of any fruit your heart desires "peaches, bananas, plums, oranges, apples, pears, cherries, tangerines, well, you do not have a big melon apoti take with you on the market but find always fresh fruit is better to choose depending on the season. If you do not have time to work to eat them, take home a fruit salad. You can put in your salad, fruit and nuts, as they are rich in magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, vitamins, minerals and folic acid. Regular consumption of dried fruit is the easiest and safest method of fat your body's natural supply of easily assimilable.
The only drink that should drink every day at work without fencing is water that will hydrate. Juices 'natural' marketed often contain all sorts of sugars and preservatives ... So, better not. Do you can quench your thirst with plain yogurt.
If you drink dairy products but "full of fruit" as the ads say that they are also full of starch and carbohydrates and is harmful sites which do not breathe a word.
Remember, little organization and a much smaller financial effort we can find alternatives to power fair that we have a varied diet not only keeps

Ice cream

Ice cream does not seem to be a children's whim, but has become a staple food for many of us in the true sense of the word, full of essential elements. In some cases, inghtetata can ever replace a meal, especially when it's hot outside. It is delicious and refreshing, easily digestible and can be eaten any time of day, especially if combined with appropriate food. Both home-made ice cream and the commercially available quality is quite good and, last but not least, has less calories than other confectionery products. We propose a small guide to better enjoy the desert in all times of the day. First of all, homemade ice cream is a very healthy food. Like the one in trade for the new European Union directives sets up a series of rigorous standards on milk quality, the basic component, and in connection with minimum amounts of other ingredients, for example on ice cream or milk fat the fruit when it comes to sorbetto. Traditional "cup" of ice cream contains protein, sugar, fat, phosphorus and calcium. Sorbetto, especially the one prepared without milk contains only sugar, fruits, minerals and fiber.

Ice cream and diets

Knowing that usually breaks is a lot, we must not forget that ice cream is a dessert and we should be careful how consumam.100 grams of ice cream contains about 240 calories, while 150 sites have sorbetto . In addition, ice cream, the portions tend to be increasingly higher. The smallest portion, with two scoops of ice cream weighs about 200 grams. Those who are on a diet "sin" less, if limited to a sorbetto. True "bombs" are calorie ice cream with nuts or coconut. It noted that, in combination with other foods, ice cream becomes a real meal. Sorbetto A fruit cup of yogurt or a few pieces of rice cakes is a very healthy breakfast. In addition, a portion of ice cream after a salad or mixed with a food rich in carbohydrates, such as a biscuit and fruit, lunch can take place. A cup of coffee ice cream can be added instead of sugar, resulting in a delicious drink, very good summer. So, perhaps, invented the ice cream diet.
