Tequila could help you lose weight shots!

Everything seems to indicate that the quintessential party drink, Tequila, could be the key to help you get rid of those extra kilos ? A group of scientists conducted an investigation through which they have discovered that the sugar present in the agave, the plant from which tequila is derived, can assist in the process of burning calories.Learn how it works.

To lose a few kilos, could tequila be the help you need? Let's see it!

Losing weight or maintaining a healthy weight is something that many people have difficulties with, one of them is the fact that alcohol consumption sabotages efforts of exercise and diet, but thanks to recent research at least one drink could have the opposite effect and instead, help achieve the desired goals.

The sugars found in the agave , the plant that produces tequila, could reduce blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes and help obese people lose weight, researchers say.

It is treated specifically of a type of natural sugar called agavines, which comes from the agave plant and is used in the elaboration of tequila.Mexican researchers from the National Polytechnic Institute have detected that these sugars (which are not the same as in the syrup of agave, more commonly known) are no digeri bles and do not raise blood sugar .

Tequila could help you lose weight shots!

The specialists found that this particular type of sugar triggers a set of chemical activity and production of hormones that order the brain to stop eat. In addition to this incredible characteristic, experts say that the hormone also makes food last longer in the stomach, thus increasing the feeling of being satisfied.

In this new investigation, The team of scientists fed some mice on a standard diet and added agavins to some of their water.They discovered that mice that consumed agavins ate less in general and had lower blood glucose levels.

The effects were stronger than those of other artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and agave syrup.mice that consumed agavins also produced a hormone called GLP-1 that keeps the stomach full longer and produces insulin, another reason why it could be beneficial for people with diabetes and weight problems.

"This puts agavines in a tremendous position for consumption by obese and diabetic people.We believe that agavins have great potential as a light sweetener ", the scientists pointed out.

The research was presented at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in Dallas.

There could be a planet like our Earth at 16 light years ...

Since 1992, when the first extrasolar planets, or exoplanets (planets outside the solar system) were detected, 1,288 planetary systems have been discovered, with some 2,030 celestial objects that could be considered as planets.Most of these objects are closer to Jupiter than to Earth, both in terms of size and composition, as they are usually gaseous, like the four great planets of our solar system. The search for planets outside our planetary system is oriented to an eventual identification of objects similar to Earth, both by location and size and composition, and we may be about to find one at a relatively close distance. There could be a planet like our Earth 16 light years away... A team of astronomers coordinated by Suman Satyal , of The University of Texas is studying a planetary system of the state Gliese 832 , a red dwarf with half the size of our sun, located 16 light years away and with two planets orbiting it: Gliese 832b , a giant Jupiter-like gas; and Gli...

The paper do you really know how it's done?

How paper is made is a question that unfortunately we almost never ask ourselves.First, because of the interesting history behind it, and then because of the current manufacturing process, extremely polluting and terrible for the environment. Paper is an object so present in our lives that we rarely take it into account.Here we offer you some information about its history and its elaboration. Paper do you really know how it is done?

Making papyrus.On the right, an ancient papyrus, probably from the Book of the Dead. In the European Middle Ages what was used was the parchment , skins of lamb or g...

Mike Brennan, the man who could write but not read

Recently the psychiatrist and neuroscience researcher at Yale University, Daniel Barron, published an article in the journal Scientific American that could well be the plot of a novel science and political fiction, because it involves a Basque neurologist, Colombian guerrillas, an American hospital technician and more neurologists.A story that begins with Mike Brennan, a man who could write but not read. Mike Brennan , the man who could write but not read Mike Brennan is not the real name of a cardiology technician, that one morning in 2010, meeting in the hospital where he worked, he opened the newspaper and realized that could not decipher the words in front of him .Thanks to the fact that he was aware of his background-he was hypertensive-and probably also to his work environment, he knew immediately that he must be suffering some kind of accident cerebrovascular, so aba He donated his office and headed directly to the emergency room, where he was evaluated and it was dete...

What is the Big Bang theory?

What is the age of the earth? What are black holes like? Can you travel through them? There are many times that in Science Daily Online we have asked ourselves about the universe.This time we want to talk to you about the origin of it, about the Big Bang theory . The expression " Big Bang " means Big Bang.About 15 billion years ago there would have been a huge explosion that released enough matter to originate the Universe . According to this theory, everything that exists was ever concentrated on a smaller point in dimensions than an atom and, when the explosion , I release an impressive amount of energy .As of this initial explosion, the Universe began to cool and expand, until ten million more years later they would have cooled enough to consent to the formation of atoms that later joined, thus forming the first s galaxies. Via Lactea photographed from the United Kingdom From this possible revelation, it is estimated that when the Universe complete...
