Ergometer classes

The first "ergometer class" was introduced in Austria in early 2008.
8 of 28 pupils sit on an ergometer and follow the normal class. The devices have been equipped with a special table for writing. According to the plan each pupil spends 1 hour per school day on an ergometer.
The project was monitored by the University of Sports in Vienna (the last three publications here: http://institut-schmelz.univie.ac.at/abteilungen-arbeitsbereiche/sportpsychologie/team/bjoern-krenn/publikationen/ )

Since then the project widened and more schools in Austria are equipped with "ergometer classes".
Different reports in different media tell two things in common:
better concentration and less aggression.

Spices and Herbs for Cooking

Spices and herbs as alternative to sugar, salt and pepper

fit@bit organizes a presentation and discussion with Mag. pharm. Sabine Gauby.

• Development of flavor in the course of human history
  (Organ of taste: the tongue, different taste sensations and their meaning ...)

• Are chemical additives in our food necessary?
  What they do in the body?

• Sugar - civilization drug number 1 and its damaging effects to our body

• A short stroll through herbs from garden and wilderness and their use

Chemicals in fast food wrappers show up in human blood

Friday, January 06, 2012 by: David Gutierrez, staff writer

Toxic chemicals used to line fast food wrappers migrate easily into human blood, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Toronto and published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.

Oily foods such as fast food and microwave popcorn are regularly packaged in paper or cardboard coated with polyfluoroalkyl phosphate esters (PAPs), which prevent water or grease from leaking through the packaging. A prior study by the same research team confirmed that PAPs can migrate from packaging into food, and thereby be ingested. This is an issue of particular concern, because the body can metabolize PAPs into a highly toxic class of chemicals called perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCAs).

The most infamous PFCA is perflurooctanoic acid (PFOA, also known as C8) the active ingredient in Teflon. PFOA and other PFCAs have been linked to a wide variety of health problems including changes in cholesterol and sex hormones. They have produced tumors and even infant death in animal studies.

"PFOA used in non-stick pans (fast-food containers, carpets, furniture and a host of other everyday household products) accumulates in the umbilical cords of babies and is retarding their growth and brain development, according to two new studies published in the prestigious journal Environmental Health Perspectives (August 2007)," notes Andreas Moritz in the book Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation.

"Babies whose umbilical cords had the highest concentrations of PFOA were born lighter, thinner and with smaller head circumferences than others."

In the new study, researchers exposed rats to PAPs and confirmed that they were indeed metabolized into PFOA.

"This discovery is important because we would like to control human chemical exposure, but this is only possible if we understand the source of this exposure," researcher Scott Mabury said.

He noted that the findings refute attempts "to locate the blame for human exposure on environmental contamination that resulted from past chemical use rather than the chemicals that are currently in production."
