Diabetes treatment with Teas made from Herbs
Diabetes mellitus is a very complex problem for many of us and solving this problem is also very difficult because involves much effort, a strict treatment and a strong will. Treatment of diabetes can not be reduced exclusively to phytotherapy. Diabetes treatment always involves radical measures and perseverance in adapting to disease conditions and to the entire lifestyle of affected patient. Apart from therapy with insulin or antidiabetics, I have to mention two very important factors, often unavoidable and strictly necessary to complet diabetes treatment: diet and physical activity.
How Forests Improve Human Health
We talked in some older posts about forest influences on global warming and the influence of vegetation on climate evolution.
Today I will present some special qualities of forests, and more specifically, the role of forest on human health (health role).
So I will continue to list some of these special qualities:
Fish from American Waters are Contaminated with Mercury
Americans, attention!!! It is not a joke! All information in this post are real! Recently, American Geological Services announced, after several studies, that all freshwater-fish from United States, contain a neurotoxic substance…mercury!!!Some studies made by US Geological Survey shows that 292 rivers and lakes in United States are full of fish contaminated with mercury.
New Indoor Gardening System is DNA Molecule-Inspired
I think that many of us have a small garden around our homes, where we can find different vegetables or fruits, vegetable foods for daily consumption. But many people live in urban areas, in big cities, where building a garden is not so easy .Most people in urban areas buy their food from supermarkets, and this food is not so healthy compared with food from your own garden.
Walnut Tree Shadow is Harmful to Humans and Could Increase Pollution
In this post I want to talk about the positive and negative effects that the walnut tree have on humans, plants and animals around it.
Lavera Organic Lipstick is 50% Cheaper than an Usual Lipstick
This post is dedicated to any women in the world, who has used until now classical lipsticks,all well-known products of Cover Girl, L’Oreal, and Christian Dior.The novelty consists in the fact that these lipsticks have been overcome by a new organic product, offering same quality but without any harmful chemical substances that could affect human organism.
Cycling Safety Improved by Lacoste Eco-Friendly Bike Helmet
I think that we all heard about Lacoste company, and we all know that the products offered are high-quality products. Recently Lacoste launched an Eco-Friendly Bike Helmet, very resistant, made with comfort providing materials and also with recyclable materials.
Air Pollution Could Decrease Newly Born Childrens IQ
Pollution of air, water, soil and many other natural elements, have as side effects destruction of plant and animal habitats,leading to the disappearance of plant and animal populations and also can affect human organism. Air pollution can affect respiratory system, water pollution and soil can affect digestion and other similar processes. Recently, a study made by researchers from NIEHS (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences) shows that human IQ can be also affected by athmospheric pollution(eg, mothers exposed to any kind of pollution could born children with a low IQ).
The Higher Productivity of Biological Materials
The long road from extraction of oil, coal or gas, through refining and complex industrial processes to finished chemical feedstocks is matched in the case of solar resources by planting, harvesting, storage, cleaning, drying, separation andtransport.In many cases, transport costs can be held to a minimum by growing the materials near the production plant.
The only disadvantage as far as productivity is concerned is the considerably greater need for personnel, although this also represents a significant social benefit.Giuliano Grassi has calculated that, for each terawatt of energy, natural gas requires 250 employees, crude oil 260, coal 270 and nuclear power 70, whereas producing solid fuels from crops requires 1145 employees and 1000 employees in the case of woodlands.The greater labour input probably also applies to the use of solar materials in the manufacture of chemical products in place of the equivalent fossil feedstocks.

America Painted in White to Prevent Global Warming
Nowadays,global warming is a big problem, a problem that is more seriously discussed in order to reduce as much as possible it’s negative effects.Recently, Steven Chu, U.S. Energy Secretary, proposed to all Americans to paint their homes with white colors, and roads to be decorated also with cold colors.The purpose of this proposal is to prevent global warming.Solar Powered Nano Sensors-Pollution Detector System
Pollution is a process that is present today in many places on earth.People have tried and still trying to reduce as much as possible this pollution process and the effects of this global phenomenon.But how people will know where they have to intervene most? Until now this thing was done statistically or with many previous studies and analysis.
Recently Queensland University of Technology has been awarded a $ 1.3 million for the invention of a solar powered nano sensors system, able to detect and monitor environmental pollution.The main advantage of this system is represented by a lower energy consumption,perfectly adjusted for high performances.Another similar system is named GIS(Geographic Information System).”GIS use geographical coordinates of various locations on the planet, store them in special tables in order to be analyzed.This program is very useful in many fields: transportation, real estate, planning, public safety, ecology, environmental protection, environmental events.” – http://www.mygreentreasure.com/2009/04/gis-environmental-monitoring-system/
Solar powered nano-sensors: “The sensors are contained in self-contained boxes which could be placed where needed. The devices are tiny carbon tubes with a diameter of a few millionths of a millimeter, which will be covered with hair-like sensing modules. This unique structure increases the sensitivity of the detector, since it increases the exposed surface area. The energy-efficient sensors will be powered by a new kind of solar cell developed in Australia by Dyesol that would transmit data to monitoring stations using radio or a UMTS system.” – www.ecofriend.org
Electromagnetic People Killer.Mobile Phone.
The mobile phones, called also cellular phones, are an integrating part of modern telecommunications, which offer the possibility of maintaining the continual communication without affecting the movement liberty.In many countries, more than half of the population uses mobile phones and the market develops fast.The prognosis shows that in 2009 will be, in the entire world, 1,9 bilion of surscribers of the mobile telephony services.Because of this reason it was necessary the installation of an increased number of basis station.The basis stations are radio antennas of low power that communicate with the users apparatus.At the beginning of 2000, they were about 2000 basis stations functioning in Great Britain and about 82.000 locations destined to the cellular telephony in the United States, each location including one or more basis stations.
On the pollution effects due to the mobile telephones were made numerous studies, the results of recent studies regarding the effects of the exposure to the electromagnetic fields of radio frequency (RF) on human beings are supplied by the World Health Organization, the Royal Society of Canada and by a committee of experts in Great Britain.
The RF fields get in the tissues exposed to depths that depend on frequency – until 1 cm at the frequencies used by mobile phones.The RF energy is absorbed in the body and produces tissues heating which is dispersed normally through the thermo adjustment mechanism of the body.All the proved effects of the exposure to RF are clearly connected to the heating.While the RF energy can interact with alive tissues at low levels to produce a significant heating, none of the studies did not put into evidence the unwanted effects on health at exposure levels under the authorized limits through international directives.
More studies on animals exposed to the RF fields similar to these emitted by the mobile phones have not found any proof that RF produce or favor brain tumors.While a study made in 1997 revealed the increase of the rate at which the lymphomas were developed at the mice genetically modified, the implications of this result on health are still ambiguous.Nowadays there are running more studies to confirm this observation and to determine any revelance to human cancer.Three epidemologic recent studies have not found any convincing proof of the increase of cancer risk or any other disease along with the use of the mobile phones.
EcoloBlue Atmospheric Water Generator Able to Absorb Humidity From Air
We all know that water is a basic element in our life, an essential element,( without water we could not live.Even the human body consists of 80-90% water). Water is everywhere in the ground,in plants,in the air.Yes, in the air! The air around us has different levels of humidity depending on our location. This water from the air is now used in producing clean drinking water.GIS Environmental Monitoring System
GIS (Geographic Information System) represents a new method of environmental monitoring.This system is a combination of hardware and software that can store and analyze any environment data.Also, this system allows the management of environmental data according to their location on earth.GIS can store data according to their geographical location, and has many methods of management that may help solve environmental worldwide problems.
GIS use geographical coordinates of various locations on the planet, store them in special tables in order to be analyzed.This program is very useful in many fields: transportation, real estate, planning, public safety, ecology, environmental protection, environmental events.
GIS also has in its structure a series of intelligent maps,presenting geographical areas with all characteristics for a specified time period.
Sea Sheels Could Reduce Water Pollution
Until now water pollution and water purification represented a big problem that could be solved only through advanced technologies that require lots of money and time.A new discovery shows that water can be purified with some more “cheap” materials, natural materials, like sea shells.
This thing seems to be impossible, but science is in a continuous evolution and more things that 10 years ago were impossible, now can be made easier and one of the reasons is because environmental pollution motivates people to react and create ways to “defend”.This project could save many lives in the cheapest way possible.Sea sheels have some special characteristics that allow some exchange of substances between them and toxic metals from water.
“The shells are made of aragonite, a form of calcium carbonate (CACO3) that readily swaps out its calcium atoms in favor of heavy metals, locking them into a solid form. The shells are naturally basic, too — when dissolved they have a pH of 8.3.” -http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2009/04/27/shells-metals-water.html

What is Called as Being Sustainable?
The adjective “sustainable” is associated with different terms included under the generous concept – sustainable development.These terms are used in literature, not in a unitary way, so the present text is far from being exhausting.
a)Sustainable system.
To understand the terms in a systemic conception, the concept of “sustainable system” is firstly defined, as the system that survives in a specified period.The sustainable system fulfils the expected life-time, however, no system has an infinite life-time.Thus, the sustainability of systems becomes a matter of predicting a set of surviving conditions for a specified finite time.
b)Sustainable society.
The end of the XX-th century was characterised by the recognition of the trilemma generated by a harmonisation of the economic growth, a distribution of resources and preservation of the environment.A society living in a harmony with nature and with itself is frequently called sustainable society.
c)Sustainable environment.
Sustainable environment – the resources are able to sustain life, health and the development within acceptable limits, on the one hand, and to regenerate itself, on the other one.
d)Sustainable future.
Healthy environment, economic prosperity and social justice, simultaneously responding the purpose of ensuring the well-being and the quality of life for the present and future generations, describe, what is called “sustainable future“.The crucial element to reach this future is education.
The Earth Day is Celebrated in 170 Countries
Tomorrow will be celebrated “The Earth Day” in 170 countries by people who will support this holiday by many ecological actions.This holiday dates from 1970 after the legislative actions of Gaylord Nelson.He showed dissatisfaction about political class which have paid too little attention on projects related to environment protection.After 20 years from these events this holiday was known in 140 countries.The purpose of this holidays is to remember that protecting natural resources, the biosphere and people health is one of the priorities of the development and maintenance in a good state of our planet.New Robotic Legs Help People Walk
Japan is one of the countries with a great capacity to invent devices who help people in everyday activities.Honda just launched Tuesday in New York a new device that helps old people at movement.This product is for old people or anyone who has movement difficulties.This “Robolegs” device has the ability to maintain balance and calculate the force with makes the moves, depending on the body weight.Robolegs could become famous, being similar to the ASIMO robot, and could reach to a big sale process, because many peoples that you can see every day have such problems … which can be solved using these robotic legs.
