What are the different uses that can be given to canamo?

To begin, we will say that hemp seeds are considered a superfood.In them are the 9 amino acids that our organism needs to manufacture quality proteins and, in addition, they are very easy to digest, also providing a large amount of omega-3 and 6.

Physically, these seeds are small and taste like sunflower seeds.The ancient Chinese used them as food and medicine.Although today they are not used too much and their use as food is not frequent, if they It knows its high nutritional content.

The nutritional power of hemp seeds also includes a large contribution of devitamins and enzymes and has hardly any sugar, starch or fatty acids, as a whole it is very beneficial for the health of The whole family, including children.

How do we differentiate marijuana from cannabis?

What are the different uses that can be given to canamo?

Cannabis and marijuana belong to the same family, Cannabis.Sativa.L, but both have enough differentiating features to be considered as two different varieties.Also, these differences have been It has been accentuated because the sides have been cultivated for very different purposes.While with the hemp, what is sought is to obtain raw material, such as oil, fiber, cellulose, oil…, in the case of marijuana, its cultivation has been enhanced for purposes Psychoactive, trying to increase the levels of THC.

On how we can differentiate the hemp from marijuana, we can attend to sumorphology, the use that is given to the plant and its composition, since in the hemp the levels THC are really low.

As for its physical appearance, it should be noted that the hemp used for obtaining fiber are the highest between 2 and 5 meters, with a very long stem and large internodal spaces, with very little internal branching of the hollow stem or po Colenoso and it is cultivated very densely, with very little space between the plants.

Marijuana, on the other hand, is cultivated leaving more space between plants, has a greater lateral branching and its flowers are abundant and bulky.The idea is that produces large buds if seed, since male plants are removed to prevent pollination.

The hemp as raw material

What are the different uses that can be given to canamo?

The hemp for industrial purposes is a more interesting alternative from the point of view of a renewable source of raw materials, a sustainable alternative that takes care of the planet and that, in addition, is extremely useful at an industrial and nutritional level.The structure of the hemp has been domesticated for thousands of years to take full advantage of this plant , in order to be able to produce fibers, cellulose and oil, to which they can Let's give a wide variety of uses, such as concave-made clothing or sturdy hemp ropes.

As we have said before if we pay attention to its morphology, the hemp is higher than marijuana, and its stems are usually be less thick and hollow.However, this morphology also changes depending on the use that will be given, which may be for the obtaining of fiber, seeds, oils, paper, bases of fleshy materials...

Main uses of canamo

What are the different uses that can be given to canamo?

The hemp has multiple possibilities of use, as we have already seen.We will gather in this section some of its main uses.

As a food product, the seeds and hemp oil are very beneficial for human consumption because of its high nutritional value.Even in addition to the properties that we have already noted, they can be r used in the treatment of some ailments, such as arthritis, neurodermatitis and syndromepremenstrual because of its gamma-linoleic acid content.

The hemp in industrial production as a base element for obtaining raw material, can be processed to obtain innumerable products, such as elbiodiesel, cosmetics, soap, paints and varnishes.

This vegetable product is also used to make cellulose and plastic biodegradable.They use the stem and the bark.It is a totally renewable and environmentally friendly material, it makes it extremely attractive considering the serious environmental problem we have for the massive use of plastics and petroleum derivatives.

The fiber of the hemp is very resistant and can be used in textile products, such as clothing and canvases, as well as in the ropes and construction materials, obtained fully recyclable and biodegradable products.In this sense, the resistance and durability that we It provides the fiber of canamo can not be compared to that offered by any other natural fiber, so the canamo ropes have been sidoutilized for thousands of years in the boats, due to its high resistance to deterioration due to sea salt and its durability.

Today, among the ecological currents, we bet on textile products defibra de canamo, a more respectful alternative than cotton, because this last one A large amount of pesticides is present.In the tissues, the hemp also has many advantages, because due to its porosity they can be taken quite easily and natural dyes can be used to do so, completing an ecological process for the production of garments.Multinationals, such as the popular Nike brand, have marketed lines of hemp textile products and have achieved great success.

The use of natural fibers derived from hemp does not end here, but rather by stagnating the land to synthetics in other areas, such as in the mobile sector, where they offer the same performance and have a greater resistance in case of impact.Other sectors that are interested in natural fibers are the aerospace industry because with them, and due to their low levels detoxicity, the risks of smoke poisoning in case of fire are reduced.

The hemp grows faster than trees procure more paper , up to three and four more times per hectare and year, so it represents a first line of defense for the preservation of forests and their biodiversity.

The «man of the hole», the loneliest person in the world

We would love to be able to show you a photograph of his face, and that his face will speak for itself before all the suffering experienced, and the sensation that today, must house his heart. However , the man who is considered the loneliest person in the world , is very elusive and nobody can communicate with him because we don't know what language he speaks. We are in the Amazon rainforest, specifically in the state of Rondonia and in a region of Tanaru, where time and modernity have wanted to go through the savagery of who thinks he is owner and lord to change an entire ecosystem, a whole way of life, and steal each of the rights of the Indians of the wonderful Amazon rainforest. Let's talk today of a story that, without a doubt, should invite us to reflect. The man with the hole, the last of his people As explained to us from the National Foundation of the Indian (FUNAI) to this day there are many tribes that continue to inhabit the Amazon rainforest wi

The mystery of prehistoric giant mushrooms

Imagine a primitive scenario , halfway between fantasy and mystery.It is a time where Earth has only two continents: Euramerica , to the north, and Gondwana , to the south.Imagine now that you are walking on a soil almost devoid of vegetation, there are hardly any plants, and your steps explode in the thicket of a rocky stage, where they stand... The authentic giants of the Earth: the prototaxites.These giant mushrooms were like strange mastiffs that could reach almost 8 meters.The higher the height, the greater the possibility of escaping their spores, and hence their sovereignty In these scenarios of Silurico and Devonico , almost 420 million years ago... But, what were they? Trees, bushes? ...The prototaxites were fungi.If you have felt a chill or have been stung by curiosity, do not hesitate to know more about these creatures worthy of appearing in the "Lost World" of Jules Verne.

3 Psychological experiments that went too far

Scientific knowledge and its tactics, as we conceive them today, has evolved throughout history, but in this long road, based on experimentation, not everything has been successful even leading to true tragedies as happened in the following psychological experiments. 3 Psychological experiments that went too far Little Albert The first of these rugged experiments is the one that took It was conducted in 1920 and was directed by Dr. John B.Watson of Johns Hopkins University, which sought to certify the Classic Conditioning by which the behavior of a subject through “learning by association”.That said it does not sound bad at all but to prove this theory, Dr.Watson used a baby of only 11 months, who like any baby did not have prejudices with animals, which scared again and again with strong metal strokes at the same time that showed an animal until totally traumatize the child, that after the experiment, he suffered a phobia towards anything that had hair.

Why does the sound of dripping water make you want to urinate?

The water dripping noise , that soft and more or less rhythmic sound, even a soft tap water jet , is an excellent motivator for the bladder .In some cases it is very practical, but in others it can be a huge problem. But what makes us react like this when we hear the water? Why do we feel like urinating when we hear it? In this article you will find out. How the urine control mechanism works When people urinate, urine goes from the bladder to the urethra through narrow ducts.This current is controlled by the sphincters, some muscles that act as brakes on these tubes, so that they do not reach the urethra (as if they were a tap that opens and closes). The first of these muscles, the internal sphincter, is in the upper part of the urethra, next to the bladder, and they are automatically controlled by our nervous system.When our bladder is full, a message is sent to the internal sphincter , telling him to relax and open the floodgates.But so that the urine does not escape

What are telluric currents? Do they affect people?

Telluric currents .You may have heard of them on occasion, and may even, that every time you hear this term you cannot avoid relating it to esoteric or science-fiction subjects.You have read for example "The Foucault Pendulum" by Umberto Eco , you will remember the original way this theme appeared in his unforgettable novel. Three intellectuals, Belbo, Casaubon and Diotallevi, devise a supposed plan to dominate the world.In what way? Through the use of telluric currents, however, his plan is clouded by the presence of a scholar, of a distinguished Hermeticist named Aglie , who was, nothing more and nothing less, than the incarnation of the legendary count of Saint-Germain, which we already talked about in Science Daily Online. Leaving aside its esoteric connotation, it is worth knowing by way of curiosity, which are telluric currents and all the associated tradition to them.You will find it incredible! The telluric currents of our planet We will explain it in a si
