The World Health Day this year focuses on the safety of health facilities and the preparation of health personnel serving in emergency situations. In previous years, to protect health from climate change, international health security and the health workforce crisis.
Although these are fundamental issues to save lives, they show the current trend in health care. This is more about the care of diseases once they appear, instead of seeking and promoting a "state of complete physical, mental and social, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" in people, such as the Organization World Health Organization (WHO) defines 'health'.
The latest WHO report revived the primary health care after decades of silence for the business models of healthcare. The conservative revolution of the eighties became fundamental social rights such as health and education into a commodity.
Thirty years ago, several countries signed the Declaration of Alma Ata to recognize health as a human right and not a luxury. However, neoliberal provision was interpreted as a "poor" health care, plus an idea "utopian". They considered only covered the first level of attention and was a threat to the doctors, as if the protagonist of health were the doctors, drugs or diseases, not people - and its environment - that have been altered the organic balance.
Primary care does not restrict freedom of people with high incomes in rich countries to recruit care and private insurance. In the U.S., this "fear" has scuppered efforts to carry out a health reform that meets the people who have no health coverage, which now reaches 50 million.
Since many of the causes of ill health are outside the scope of medicine, primary care seeks a broad social approach to ensure fairness in access to services and the efficient use of resources. In the words of WHO director Margaret Chan, "offers a way to organize the whole health care, from households to hospitals, where prevention is as important as cure, and in which resources invested rationally in the different levels of care. "
The discrediting of the neoliberal model by the crisis will be brought out models closer to patient health. It is possible to decrease public health costs due to excessive demand for drugs without being translated into improved welfare of people. In Spain, a primary care model for older people to relieve the emergency services collapsed.
The mortality rate in Iran has fallen while life expectancy has risen from 63 to 71 years due to "health houses" that serve 1,500 people. The Family Health Program in Brazil provides quality care to families at home, in clinics and hospitals.
In addition to person-centered services, WHO proposes three guidelines for countries in health: universal coverage, healthy public policies and spaces where people can express their needs.
Efficiency and equity of health services depend to a large extent, universal access to health care, according to the needs of people and regardless of their economic capacity. More than a "cost", primary care and health is an investment for families and communities. Less often have to fight against diseases that prevent them from attending school, helping in the fields or in trade. Health is an investment against poverty.
Although health systems worldwide are weakened at this juncture, perhaps the current crisis an opportunity to reaffirm health as a right for all people and as a pillar of the welfare state.
Analysis of the film "Super Size Me" Under the Perspective of Health Psychology
ANALYSIS OF THE FILM "SUPER SIZE ME" UNDER THE PERSPECTIVE OF HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY
After several demands knowledge of American girls to McDonald's, Morgan Spurlock directs and stars in a film that reflects on fast food and cheap, but very dangerous and bad for health.
Through an experiment conducted by Morgan, which is that their diet consists, for 30 continuous days, solely from the food offered this chain, aims to demonstrate that such diets are a risk behaviors to health has severe consequences for it.
Two risk behaviors: behaviors that lead to an increase in a chance of getting a particular disease, whether physical or psychological.
Ø Mc Donald's Diet: Base your diet exclusively in this type of fast food
Or continue with the experiment despite being sick
Two health behaviors:
Ø Case Institute of Appleton Central Alternative. Natural Diet Owens.
Ø The case of newyorquino: Walk instead use transport
According to the different explanatory theoretical models that form the structure of analysis of health psychology, there are various reasons that people put into practice certain health behaviors or risk.
Some models are based on the assumption that attitudes and beliefs are the main determinants of behavior-Models and Theories Expectancy-Value Health Beliefs, Theory of reasoned action and planned behavior, and protective motivation theory. These models are based on two types of cognitions: subjective probability that a behavior will lead to obtaining the expected results and evaluating the results of the action.
On the other hand, those theoretical models that emphasize self-regulation: the perception of personal efficacy to perform an action that generates expectations that allow us to anticipate the expected results, the mechanism by which the body will regulate itself. Speakers mechanisms such as persuasion, social comparison or modeling-models and theories of self-regulation of behavior: model of precaution adoption process, a process of action for health and social action theory.
RISK BEHAVIOR
1. McDonald's Diet: base your diet solely on this type of fast food
The protagonist of the film, despite being shown by different studies and to believe or strongly suspect that performing a diet based on products offered by fast food companies is an unhealthy behavior, decides to conduct an experiment, putting the importance of the outcome is going to get, to demonstrate empirically that their hypothesis is true, to your health.
The conduct of basing your diet on fast food chain McDonald's is a risk behavior.
It is clearly a risk behavior and because, as we see throughout the documentary, Morgan consulted various specialists and they'll confirm him showing all the consequences that may result in this type of diet, such as hypertension, liver problems , elevated triglycerides, heart disease, weight gain, increased cholesterol, malaise, stroke, gallbladder disease, adult diabetes, insulin resistance, decreased fertility, etc.. Nevertheless, he decides to perform the behavior and feeding for 30 days exclusively with this type of food. The level of repetition of behavior tends to raise, significantly, the level of risk associated.
The susceptibility of the protagonist (Model of health beliefs), of coronary disease because of their behavior is very low. Morgan makes an underestimation of risk involved in this conduct to overestimate their health and physical strength, when the start of the experiment.
As discussed, visiting several doctors specializing in General Medicine, Cardiology, Endocrinology and Nutrition to conduct a control before, during and after (a fact that could be considered a particular health behavior, should it cease its attitude and follow the guidelines and recommendations of your doctor).
And since the results obtained are in good physical health, their self-perception is strong and healthy person and this takes precedence over the warnings that undertaken by different doctors.
Consider that your body (perceived self-efficacy) may counteract the effects of an unhealthy diet. Not perceived as a certain probability of being affected by the consequences of such diets and therefore does not cease his experiment. As there is a low gravity and low susceptibility of contracting any of the diseases cited above, the protagonist needs a key to be intense action to stop behaviors. The most important event that will trigger this action is warning doctors about the consequences and the perception that, as the days pass, the public health indices in the controls will get worse. This could touch off at a given moment the process of appropriate health behavior.
Moreover, in this risky behavior, we can clearly see how Morgan's behavior is under volitional control (Theory of Reasoned Action, to influence personal and social factors). The player acts on his intention to carry out the experiment and not on the consequences of his conduct, despite all the warning and informational stimuli it receives.
At Morgan influence, therefore, to perform the behavior, perceptions of risk to the possible consequences of their behavior, their willingness to perform this behavior, outcome expectations and perceived self-efficacy.
Another case, similar to Morgan but that is not an experiment but a pattern is the case of Don Gorska, usually eat an average of 2 / 3 Big Mac (a type of hamburger that McDonald's offers) per day, making that 90% of their solid diet is based on this type of food. It is a clear case of conduct of health risk.
2. Continue with the experiment despite being sick
From day 18 of experiment, Morgan began to feel increasingly worse.
In the control of that week, Dr. Dary M. Isaacs makes the usual checks and the results are not good. Cholesterol levels reveal much higher, the liver is inflamed, is turning into a fatty liver. The levels generally are rising alarmingly. This causes fatigue, lethargy, depression, etc.. The doctor warns him that can have liver failure and may be irreversible.
His advice as a physician immediately abandon the experiment because it is causing a disease itself. The doctor expressed his despair at not being able to convince it to abandon its risk attitude: "... my advice as a doctor is you have to leave, you're crushing the liver ... if the pain begins to radiate to the jaw and arm, is an immediate threat of death and ...".( Dary M. Isaacs - General Medicine).
Around him, his mother, his girlfriend, also advised him to stop the diet. The consequences of an unhealthy diet are already popping up: "... I could not imagine that this experiment would be so dangerous girlfriend ..."( Morgan)" ... I know, the doctor did not imagine that something could happen. .. "(Morgan).
Morgan, despite evidence that their social environment (the team doctor and his family) he is showing very clearly the signs (high levels in the analysis) and symptoms (malaise and depression) that have emerged are sufficiently significant as to begin immediate health behavior, which would be the immediate abandonment of the diet and the beginning of a cleansing diet not sufficiently appreciate the threat and, again, provides an assessment of their skills (perceived self-efficacy) , which is the overvaluation of physical strength. Morgan decides to continue the experiment with the justification that in 12 days you are not sick as much as possible to avoid irreversible. We are clearly at risk behavior.
Referring to Bishop model, whereby all individuals are going to take an active role with respect to adopting an attitude of responsibility for decisions about their health, promoting the adoption of these personal responsibilities in the case of the behavior of Morgan to continue with the experiment even though his health is beginning to be seriously affected, argue that Bishop is a clear irresponsibility of the individual with respect to their health. Morgan has taken an active role in regard to their health but against it rather than promote it.
Health Behavior
1. Case Institute of Appleton Central Alternative. Natural Diet Owens
In this case, the Central Institute Alternative Appleton, whose students have behavior problems and major faults of class attendance.
Greg Brethawer, Dean of the Institute, to try to alleviate these problems, instead of using an iron discipline decides to intervene by applying a healthy diet program and it comes in contact with the company "Natural Owens" of Manitovic (Wisconsin).
This company supports food preparation healthy food without preservatives or dyes, whose method of preparation is cooking in the oven, and are not used in any fried foods.
Another strategy that the institute is launching the institute is removal of vending machines, candy, etc..
A few months later, they have begun to see the results of this health behavior in significant improvements in students of the institution in regard to good behavior, children are more focused, the teachers indicate better performance of their students, and There's less violence in the classroom.
This behavior can be considered as health carries out actions in favor of obtaining a healthy state. Here we would apply the model perfectly Bishop, in the sense of taking an active role by adopting a pattern of conduct with regard to food that promotes a healthy state.
Moreover, the decision taken by the school head will influence the students repeat this pattern of conduct in their personal environment, with a high probability that these students develop a healthy lifestyle, having experienced the positive consequences that flow from it, reducing the risk factors of contracting diseases such as obesity, which is also one of the first consequences of an unbalanced diet.
2. The case of newyorquino: Walk instead of using transport
60% of Americans do not exercise regularly. There have been studies that have confirmed this, having shown that the average daily steps of an American is between 2500-3000 steps per day (1.6 mi.). People come and go drive to work, take the car for shopping, for taking the kids to school, etc..
The case of newyorquinos is different. Most of them will walk everywhere: to work, park, shop, etc.. Do not have a car or, if they do, prefer not to because the big city. They perform an average of 7 / 8 kms. a day walking.
It is, in my opinion, clear health behavior, since there is widespread evidence that physical exercise is necessary for good overall health, and if you can not perform regular exercise-such as swimming, cycling or any sport, there is nothing better than walking, which can be a perfect substitute.
As in the previous case, the individual is taking an active role towards their health, perhaps this time influenced by other factors, such as it is a bit problematic to use the car in New York, congestion, lack of parking, etc., but after all, is a behavior that promotes the good health and can offset other behaviors that are not as healthy as we have seen in the documentary, since the vast majority of the citizens Americans are very frequent to include in your diet and fast food too often.
After several demands knowledge of American girls to McDonald's, Morgan Spurlock directs and stars in a film that reflects on fast food and cheap, but very dangerous and bad for health.
Through an experiment conducted by Morgan, which is that their diet consists, for 30 continuous days, solely from the food offered this chain, aims to demonstrate that such diets are a risk behaviors to health has severe consequences for it.

The Health Hazards Of Stress
With tension rising for men and women, stress is taking a cost in physical health. Stress can throw many unexpected ways!
Stress is a normal physical response to a threat or danger as a protective mechanism. It helps you stay focused, energetic, alert and even save your life in emergency situations.
But your body does not distinguish between her physical and physiological stress! React strongly to a discussion with your boss or spouse, job insecurity, an overloaded schedule, or financial difficulties.
If you have the feeling of being overwhelmed with problems, the stress response in your body is to be "ON" all the time and can seriously undermine their physical and emotional well being.
Chronic stress disrupts every system in the body. It weakens the immune system, gives free rein havoc on sleep patterns and metabolic function, blood pressure and increases the risk of stroke.
Do any of these are common, but did you know that stress can cause other physical symptoms? It accelerates the aging process, cause gastrointestinal unrest and cause teeth-grinding and grip, also known as bruxism.
The grinding and clenching happens to most during sleep, but may also be present during the day. Not fully understand all the causes but stress has been clearly established as an important factor in bruxism.
Stress-induced problems such as bruxism ongoing effects even after the stress has passed. Bruxism can seriously damage the muscles and nerves of the jaw, and has been identified as an underlying cause of headaches.
Signs and symptoms of bruxism may include:
Polishing of teeth or grip, which can be quite loud enough to wake your partner
Worn tooth enamel exposing the inside of your tooth, tooth sensitivity increasing
Pain or tightness in jaw muscles of the jaw
Ear pain due to severe muscle contractions of the jaw
Headache
Chronic Facial Pain
Chewed tissue inside of your cheek
Psychological factors that cause bruxism:
Anxiety, stress.
Suppressed anger and frustration.
Aggressive personality type, competitive and hyperactive.
Manage stress levels can prevent unhealthy effects snowball over his body. For example, if you worry about losing their jobs and their stress is through the roof, this can cause bruxism. His bruxism can cause interruptions to sleep routines, which in turn can affect your metabolism and emotional health, making you gain weight and feel emotionally sensitive or depressed. It's all related!
You can use the exercise and natural remedies to help cope with daily stress and anxiety.
Certain natural ingredients can help support your nervous system and help you manage your stress levels. For example, Kalium phosphate is a homeopathic tonic and nerve food. Used regularly it helps to relieve the effects of stress, worry and stress.

Ritalin: Drug Control
What is Attention Disorder (with or without hyperactivity)?
For many laboratories are using this illness (for many invented in order to bring a drug to control the total population), and beginning to create addicts from very early ages. He begins to tell you about this drug, one of the most dangerous to human freedom, precisely because legal. Remember the book "1984", "Brave New World" and the film "The Matrix". All this may be happening today in front of your nose!
Methylphenidate (MFD) is a psychostimulant, better known by the brand name Ritalin (in Hispanic countries: Ritalin). The MFD has existed for over 60 years. However, it gained special notoriety from the nineties. This was due to the spread of the diagnosis of attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADHD) in children and adults, a phenomenon linked to the prescription of the MFD, the drug of choice for this treatment. For example, Concerta (one of many brands of MFD) reached in the U.S.. UU. sales volumes in excess of $ 839 million in 2005.
Both the diagnosis and drug have been challenged, even by appealing to ethical principles, ideological or religious. Such rejection has been attributed to moral panic of the non-specialist audience to the concept of drug treatment in children, or a belief (often unfounded) about the consequences. The subject occupied the mass media, speaking figures of psychoanalysis and psychiatry. This was the case of Scientology, a religious cult with interference in scientific matters.
Criticism of ADHD and methylphenidate become, often from a rejection of the general concept of neurobiological dysfunction and neurochemical assumptions underlying the practice of contemporary psychiatry.
Ciba Pharmaceutical Company (precursor to Novartis) pitched the product to market in 1955 with the name Ritalin. Since its inception, was used in a number of indications. The Physician's Desk Reference, 1957, stated further that he was "listed in chronic fatigue and lethargic and depressive states, including those associated with tranquilizing agents and other drugs, perturbed senile behavior, psychoneurosis and psychosis associated with depression."
In the early sixties, he popularized the use of the MFD to treat children with ADHD syndrome known then as "hyperactivity" or "minimal brain dysfunction (MBD). In those years, Ritalin could also growing popularity because of newspaper endorsements on their current use among celebrities from the worlds of politics and science, such as astronaut Buzz Aldrin, and the mathematician Paul Erdos.
In 1969, the Church of Scientology, founded the so-called Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR). A few months later, he would begin an open campaign, using the mass media, as opposed to psychiatric medication in general, and Ritalin in particular.
In 1971, the International Convention on Psychotropic Substances included the MFD in Schedule II.
MFD is currently the most commonly prescribed medication to treat ADHD around the world. According to estimates, over 75% of prescriptions for children are made to MFD, this disorder being about four times more common among boys than among girls. Production and prescription of MFD grew significantly in the nineties, especially in the United States, to the extent that the diagnosis of ADHD became better understood and more widespread acceptance within the medical and mental health.
Some of the best-known opponents are Peter Breggin, Thomas Armstrong, Fred Baughman and journalist Thom Hartmann, famous for his "theory of the farmer and the hunter" to characterize ADHD. They argue that neurobiological characteristics observed are not necessarily pathological origin, and express concern about the behavioral changes associated with the use of stimulants.
The estimated gross value of annual output of MFD in 2005, will at least seventeen times corresponding to 1990, according to the projected figures for the current year in the U.S.. UU., Passing in that span of less than 2 tons to over 30. The MFD is currently under international control the psychotropic drug most widely distributed in the legal circuit. It has become one of the most profitable manufacturing for the pharmaceutical industrial complex. The revenue from the market for ADHD drugs, including the MFD and its rivals, reached only in the U.S.. UU. values higher than the 3,100 million. Note that the annual gross domestic product of about 50 countries would be below these figures.

Some of the best-known opponents are Peter Breggin, Thomas Armstrong, Fred Baughman and journalist Thom Hartmann, famous for his "theory of the farmer and the hunter" to characterize ADHD. They argue that neurobiological characteristics observed are not necessarily pathological origin, and express concern about the behavioral changes associated with the use of stimulants.
The estimated gross value of annual output of MFD in 2005, will at least seventeen times corresponding to 1990, according to the projected figures for the current year in the U.S.. UU., Passing in that span of less than 2 tons to over 30. The MFD is currently under international control the psychotropic drug most widely distributed in the legal circuit. It has become one of the most profitable manufacturing for the pharmaceutical industrial complex. The revenue from the market for ADHD drugs, including the MFD and its rivals, reached only in the U.S.. UU. values higher than the 3,100 million. Note that the annual gross domestic product of about 50 countries would be below these figures.
Meet the Incredible Power of Subliminal Motivation
The processes of organization of the primary stimuli in forms function not only at the level of what our attention focuses. The concepts of figure and ground, in real situations are not as simple as teaching in a diagram. In one of the figures he pays more attention and is perceived consciously. But even the fund consists of an indefinite number of secondary figures, of which we are not consciously aware of, and enter our system through so-called "collateral channels. These are called subliminal stimuli.
Subliminal messages (sub-liminal: below the threshold) are those who access our cognitive system without our conscious awareness of this happening, and so can operate on the structures of behavior and personality with much higher levels of effectiveness .
Already in the fourth century A.C. the Greek philosopher Democritus said that "there is much more noticeable than we can consciously perceive. Plato, Aristotle and Leibniz recognized equivalent phenomena. That is, it is a misconception that there is only perception that what is conscious.
The first experiment showed that a message broadcast to the back of consciousness could, and indeed had, measurable effect on behavior, was conducted by James Vicary in 1956 in Fort Lee, a suburb of New York. In a cinema screening the film Picnic. With the help of a stroboscopic projector Vicary "bombed" the screen with a slide that read "Drink Coca-Cola - Hungry? - Eat popcorn. In that film, for a week, there was an increase in sales of Coca-Cola's 18.1% and 57.5% in popcorn.

When reading a newspaper or website pay little attention to advertisements, a few milliseconds and a glancing blow. But that is sufficient to achieve the desired effect: the message enters our informational system.
Experiment Wolitzky & Klein (1966) In 1966 psychologists Wolitzky & Klein showed a group of experimental subjects-a figure disguised by a duck-shaped contours of the dominant perceptual figure-a tree branch. The cloaked figure strongly influenced other later images submitted to such subjects, even when describing the stimulus showed no evidence of conscious awareness of it, even after several exposures.
The hidden or scribbled figures that do not exceed the threshold of consciousness, imply that the gestalt process of organization affects the sensory input at a point beyond that to which this information has access to (selective inattention).
The creators of advertising know this and apply it in their ads. Camouflaged stimuli for various portions of the ad knowing that will be effective in dreams (Poetzl effect), or at any subsequent time.
Another phenomenon that causes subliminal stimuli is "perceptual defense" (the stimulus acts as a subliminal supraliminal). We propose that everything that attacks the conscience and ethical system with negative emotional implications, is ignored by the mind. Human beings have the ability to block information when it opposes their conscious values. This information, however, evokes feelings and desires and draws attention to things that consciousness is not aware.

The evil of the century: Back Pain and Tips or musculoskeletal injuries
1 - Incidence
In 1996 the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working interviewed a representative sample of 1000 workers in the labor force in each Member State of the European Union
The survey shows that:
- Health problems related to work most frequently cited are:
- The back pain (30% of workers)
- Stress (28% of workers)
- Muscle pains in arms and legs (17% of workers)
- Work in low-designed favors that 45% of workers adopt awkward working postures.
- The work is becoming more intense and the pace is accelerating.
- 37% of workers have short, repetitive tasks.
- The computer has become an important place at work, 38% of workers it serves.
- Only 32% of employees say they have followed a training course offered by your company during the preceding twelve months
1.2-For what is produced
Barring more complex cases such as cancer and inflammatory and other diseases and traumatic injury causes direct acute, musculoskeletal injuries are due to progressive overload of various anatomical structures that react with pain to it.
Indicated in a very condensed various parameters, each individually may represent a risk factor which can provoke decompensation musculoskeletal injuries.
- Organization: If the work is not well organized (shifts, hours) may be the cause of increased physical and mental fatigue of the worker with greater tension in the same state.
- The person prior technical, individual characteristics such as excessive overweight, previous musculoskeletal disorders and outside activities (housework) and use of leisure time (sedentary, physical activity and / or sport disproportionate).
- The task or work: this is one of the most important aspects to consider labor as a risk factor, especially if forced to develop a strong force, dangerous positions and prolonged repetition of the gestures of the worker.
- The team: as a table, chairs, miscellaneous tools and utensils, must be adapted to the anthropometric characteristics of the worker. It must also provide adequate support for handling charges when necessary.
- The environment: both physical (heat, temperature, noise) and psychic (relationships with peers, superiors).
- Weather: The is needed to perform various work tasks.
3 - How is prevented
According to the above, the prevention of Back Pain and Tips will be aimed at the reduction to the extent possible risk factors analyzed. From a practical standpoint, we recommend the training through a school program aimed at SKELETAL MUSCLE-risk self-assessment with consequent formation for prevention.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): Reflections
It is very topical. Until about two years ago was scarcely known in our country. Today there is no agency or entity who prides himself, not to try one or more occasions in the issue.
· Terminological aspects. As very rightly said Jose Maria Pemán: "If people speaking means speaking well is better understood. It applies perfectly to the concept of CSR, because although everyone knows its definition, its practical application becomes sometimes different meanings.
or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the oldest chronological definition. It was first employed to positively differentiate those companies that maintained a position in business ethics, as opposed to a series of scandals by some. As its name suggests, should refer to those which by their nature high productivity can be considered corporate. It is a term that may persist over time given its implementation at international level (Corporative Social Responsibility - CSR).
or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) which is a form will be most used. It is specifically proposed by the Spanish Ministry of Labor in its actions for its implementation (Expert Forum, Subcommittee of the House of Representatives).
or similar meaning are used with other terms which can sometimes lead to confusion: Sustainability, Ethics, Excellence, Best Practices, Transparency ...
· Its application is selective. That is, despite the "democratization" of the name, is considered to supplement mainly to large and medium enterprises. Although SMEs have been incorporated into this concept, official aid is still very low.
· There are many groups barely involved. They included:
or The Body as a public company despite its impressive feature of community service. Is sparsely involved in CSR. Perhaps the large number of workers usually employed and poor motivation to get in many cases.
or both public and private, those devoted to health care and education.
or those with high accident rates.
• recognition of partial aspects. There is general agreement in recognizing socially responsible companies that comply with any of the parameters: social action, environmental management, fiscal transparency, use of a high rate of immigrant labor and reconciling family life ... Although it has a large value such shares, further details of the cases in which compliance with various parameters.
CSR: Proposal
From all the above, it is clear that they could submit various proposals, but the availability of space only allows me to highlight the following:
Integrate Health Management as important parameter of CSR:
At the level of so-called Inner Dimension of Social Responsibility, highlights two concepts that directly affect the health of workers.
- Quality of Employment. Although it is an aspect that is particularly affected by social agents, temporary, discrimination and lack of reconciliation among others, have their impact on health.
- Working Conditions. Here it that the impact on health is very evident. The derivatives of the organization and monotony of work, pace, intensity, time, low motivation, and the existence of non-ergonomic conditions, ie, an environment not suitable for the person not to harm their health (light, sound, tools furniture) are called emerging risk Ergonomic-Skeletal Muscle (back pain and arms), Psychosocial and lately he has added another threat: obesity. The proposed actions to avoid these risks are:
Risk and Prevention: although since 1995 there is a law for the prevention, this is still more devoted to security, given the high rate of fatalities suffered by the country.
or Health Promotion: is of vital importance in the adoption of healthy habits not only at work but in any condition.
In both cases, a special requirement for the company to be considered socially responsible is that prevention goes beyond the law.
Final Comment
To make a success of the adoption of health parameters is necessary for the company to talk about comprehensive health management. That is, must exist between the Occupational Health and Public Health, not forgetting the School Health.
An example is the postural problems presented by children-as primarily by poor ergonomics (backpacks, furniture). How can be prevented in adults Back Pain (the most frequent abnormality worldwide after the flu) if not prevented at school?

How to treat acne
INTRODUCTION
Acne is a bacterial infection under the skin that usually occurs in adolescence as we know and has multiple causes, including hormonal.
It begins with an overproduction of oil by the sebaceous glands, but this fact is not directly related to excessive fat intake. Rather it is due to hormonal or psychosomatic causes (sometimes associated with stress) that trigger the action of all glands
It is true that once the process is ongoing acne properties some foods can trigger the onset of pimples. This association is unclear and is very specific to each individual. Each person must be tested and knowing your own body to know how they affect where certain foods like chocolate, toxins included in many packaged products such as potato chips, etc ... Yet we must realize that the food itself or cause or cure acne, you can simply activate or contribute to fighting.
TREATMENTS
Treating this skin condition can be hormonal, antibiotic or bactericidal. There are many medications that treat this condition and some with some really serious side effects that should be seriously considered before starting. Our recommendation goes to consult several specialists and well read the prospectuses of the drugs, which in some cases irreversibly affect the liver.
For this reason, natural treatments, which will ultimately have more permanent effects and are equally effective in all cases, are the most recommended to treat acne.
Very aggressive treatment with medications, in addition to sometimes severe side effects, have a rebound effect that makes the time of treatment can stop a process appears more serious than that attempted cure. Natural treatments are slower but have this rebound effect.
ALOE VERA AND ACNE
Aloe vera has ingested antibiotics and bactericidal effects acting especially in the skin. Its effects are visible during the first two weeks, however in cases where the infection is deep-rooted in inner layers of the skin, may seem to get worse, because the infection goes out and there is an outbreak of times that the existing one.
The application of aloe gel on the grain itself is astringent and disinfectant, so dry and cure the grain to avoid worsening.
It is important to clean the skin as it can spread the infection.

Sun protection
INTRODUCTION
In recent years, awareness campaigns have succeeded in changing the habits of many citizens. Currently there are few people who do not take preventive measures before sun exposure. But fashion tan requires extreme precautions are not always able to perform in all situations. It is important to know that are particularly harmful sunburns before age 18.
It is true that children, especially infants, should avoid sun exposure. But the fact remains that teenagers should exercise extreme application of sunscreen to avoid sunburn, redness or erythema, which will have lifelong consequences if they come to produce regularly or gravity.
Another habit that we have not managed to introduce is to apply sunscreen when we go outside to the street. Especially in Mediterranean countries the sun for us from the spring in any tour, and that many times we lower our guard. It would be especially appropriate to protect the face from the first rays of spring, because aging, blemishes and wrinkles are directly related to the exposure of our skin to sunlight.
The consequences of making sun protection as something trivial, ranging from premature aging to the carcinoma. Today, no scientist doubts the need to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and of course the need for protection with filters, even in brown skin or used to the sun.
SIDE EFFECTS OF THE SUN
UVA and UVB rays, and producing a pigment in the current fashion is associated with a flattering look and, if abused have effects that are not at all beneficial to health:
Skin spots, wrinkles, and ultimately superficial skin cancer and tumors. In the long term UVB rays are absorbed by DNA and cause alterations in the genome. UVA rays are also absorbed and converted into free radicals, which alter the genetic material and saturate the skin's defensive systems. Therefore abuse aging and sun produces particularly sensitive or lengthy cases, skin cancer
According to several clinical studies, use a sunscreen 15 during the first 18 years can reduce up to 78% the risk of skin cancer.
HOW Broncos?, ADVICE
Whenever our skin is exposed to sunlight must be protected. With hats, clothing (light shirts, long pants), sunglasses, and sunscreen creams containing reliable.
We must free ourselves from the obsession with tanning, especially by the tan faster. And if you have teenage children, raising their awareness of the absolute necessity of sun protection. The quick tan always has a risk, because exposure to sunlight, as we know, must be gradual, never for more than 20 consecutive minutes, preferably in motion, never during midday (between 11 and 15 hours), with special care at first.
It is always necessary to use maximum protection sunscreens to top (from 15) and reapply every two hours.
For optimum results the use of a sunscreen, you need to follow four basic rules:
• Apply the sunscreen at home, never at the beach or the pool.
• Doing well on dry skin.
• Apply 30 minutes before sun exposure.
• Be generous in quantity.
Follow these rules, will also be necessary to consider the following recommendations:
1. Some people are used to cool the skin with water for sun exposure. It is not recommended, undermine the effectiveness of the protection factor and not hydrates the skin. The water should be ingested to be effective, and hydrate the skin should use a cream that contains moisturizing factors such as aloe vera.
2. On the beach should not be used alcoholic perfume or cologne containing plant essences, because they are photosensitive. Scented sun milks are also not advisable.
3. Use protection if it is cloudy.
Protection Factor and sun cream with Aloe Vera
Caution is necessary when choosing the sunscreen.
Protection and sunscreen
We look at quality assurance. The ISO 9001:2000 is a system of quality assurance. There are agencies that show how to test the efficacy of sun protection: The quality creams should be subject to determination of sun protection factor as COLIPA methodology, European governing protective factors, and FDA, American Association governing factors protection. Another precaution is to be protected from both UVA and the UVB, the label must specify the protection against UVB or UVA include the symbol with **** in a circle.
Other components
Another important condition to be met by a good sunscreen is moisturizing. During sun exposure the skin inevitably becomes dry and this effect should be countered with a component hydrated. In this sense we believe that Aloe Vera is a major factor. In addition to moisturize the skin naturally and very effective, aloe vera increases up to 8 times the production of the cells responsible for natural collagen, protecting from the harmful effects and has envejecedores sun exposure.
Particularly important is the cream used on the face. The facial skin is very sensitive to the sun, and the effects of long exposure are not positive: wrinkles, spots, premature aging. So the wisest recommendation is to avoid where possible the direct incidence of sunlight on the face. Because exposure is inevitable in any case, we must protect especially with a cream that contains active ingredients that prevent aging (coenzyme Q10, Vitamin E, Retinol, etc ...)
THE SUN AND CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
It has been shown that burns during childhood and adolescence, when the skin is less protected by natural defenses, create skin damage that appears later in adulthood and establish a greater predisposition to the development of major skin problems. It is important to teach children sun protection from small, because the effects of solar radiation are cumulative and irreversible. You must use special protection for children, is hypoallergenic and with a strong sunscreen.
Tips for children and adolescents:
• Do not expose children to the sun before age 3.
• Use a sunscreen especially for children.
• We need to renew the product regularly (every hour).
• portege's good head and body caps t-shirts if they are skinned and sensitive.
• Beber mucha agua.
• Raise awareness among teenagers and older children and remain vigilant until age 18.
AFTER THE SUN. ALOE VERA
One of the most spectacular and effective applications of aloe vera on burns of the skin. Whoever has witnessed or experienced in himself the healing effect of aloe vera gel on a burn will probably be forever consuming this plant. Applying aloe vera gel on your skin burned, you may not be reached although the burn blister is severe. The skin cell regeneration in these cases is so spectacular that in a few hours the effects of the burn away completely and punishment is a mere redness.
So the most suitable composition of a post-sun cream must surely be very rich in aloe vera gel. If it also contains menthol produces a cooling effect very pleasant and helpful. Aloe Vera regenerates damaged skin, red or sunburned. By preventing blisters, peeling of the epidermis, or the sunspot time irreversible.
MYTHS ABOUT SUN PROTECTION
It is false that:
• Sun lamps produce no negative effects. The reality is that UV RAYS EMITTED BY SOLAR LIGHTS ARE ALL THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF SUNLIGHT: PREMATURE AGING, SKIN SPOTS, increases the risk of developing skin cancer.
• Apply several layers of sunscreen increases its effectiveness. The truth is that sunscreens EFFECTIVENESS ARE INDICATING IN YOUR PACKAGE, REGARDLESS OF THE LAYERS THAT APPLY.
• Protection 15 is sufficient to protect against adverse effects. While it is true that protection 15 is sufficient to protect the face, or NORMAL ADULT SKINS ARE ADVISED TO USE STRONGER PROTECTION IN CHILDREN OR WHITE SKIN, SENSITIVE, freckled or not used to the SOL.
In recent years, awareness campaigns have succeeded in changing the habits of many citizens. Currently there are few people who do not take preventive measures before sun exposure. But fashion tan requires extreme precautions are not always able to perform in all situations. It is important to know that are particularly harmful sunburns before age 18.

Protection Factor and sun cream with Aloe Vera
Caution is necessary when choosing the sunscreen.
Protection and sunscreen
We look at quality assurance. The ISO 9001:2000 is a system of quality assurance. There are agencies that show how to test the efficacy of sun protection: The quality creams should be subject to determination of sun protection factor as COLIPA methodology, European governing protective factors, and FDA, American Association governing factors protection. Another precaution is to be protected from both UVA and the UVB, the label must specify the protection against UVB or UVA include the symbol with **** in a circle.
Other components
Another important condition to be met by a good sunscreen is moisturizing. During sun exposure the skin inevitably becomes dry and this effect should be countered with a component hydrated. In this sense we believe that Aloe Vera is a major factor. In addition to moisturize the skin naturally and very effective, aloe vera increases up to 8 times the production of the cells responsible for natural collagen, protecting from the harmful effects and has envejecedores sun exposure.
Particularly important is the cream used on the face. The facial skin is very sensitive to the sun, and the effects of long exposure are not positive: wrinkles, spots, premature aging. So the wisest recommendation is to avoid where possible the direct incidence of sunlight on the face. Because exposure is inevitable in any case, we must protect especially with a cream that contains active ingredients that prevent aging (coenzyme Q10, Vitamin E, Retinol, etc ...)
THE SUN AND CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
It has been shown that burns during childhood and adolescence, when the skin is less protected by natural defenses, create skin damage that appears later in adulthood and establish a greater predisposition to the development of major skin problems. It is important to teach children sun protection from small, because the effects of solar radiation are cumulative and irreversible. You must use special protection for children, is hypoallergenic and with a strong sunscreen.
Tips for children and adolescents:
• Do not expose children to the sun before age 3.
• Use a sunscreen especially for children.
• We need to renew the product regularly (every hour).
• portege's good head and body caps t-shirts if they are skinned and sensitive.
• Beber mucha agua.
• Raise awareness among teenagers and older children and remain vigilant until age 18.
AFTER THE SUN. ALOE VERA
One of the most spectacular and effective applications of aloe vera on burns of the skin. Whoever has witnessed or experienced in himself the healing effect of aloe vera gel on a burn will probably be forever consuming this plant. Applying aloe vera gel on your skin burned, you may not be reached although the burn blister is severe. The skin cell regeneration in these cases is so spectacular that in a few hours the effects of the burn away completely and punishment is a mere redness.
So the most suitable composition of a post-sun cream must surely be very rich in aloe vera gel. If it also contains menthol produces a cooling effect very pleasant and helpful. Aloe Vera regenerates damaged skin, red or sunburned. By preventing blisters, peeling of the epidermis, or the sunspot time irreversible.
MYTHS ABOUT SUN PROTECTION
It is false that:
• Sun lamps produce no negative effects. The reality is that UV RAYS EMITTED BY SOLAR LIGHTS ARE ALL THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF SUNLIGHT: PREMATURE AGING, SKIN SPOTS, increases the risk of developing skin cancer.
• Apply several layers of sunscreen increases its effectiveness. The truth is that sunscreens EFFECTIVENESS ARE INDICATING IN YOUR PACKAGE, REGARDLESS OF THE LAYERS THAT APPLY.
• Protection 15 is sufficient to protect against adverse effects. While it is true that protection 15 is sufficient to protect the face, or NORMAL ADULT SKINS ARE ADVISED TO USE STRONGER PROTECTION IN CHILDREN OR WHITE SKIN, SENSITIVE, freckled or not used to the SOL.
