Garlic (Allium sativum L) and Its beneficial properties for health: A Review

Generally, chefs use garlic as an ingredient that enhances the sensory qualities of foods. However, recent studies have shown that garlic contains Sulphur compounds, which provide a health benefit. This review identifies and describes those constituents in garlic responsible for their anti-microbial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and in some cases anti-cancer properties. Also, this review reports the chemical and nutritional contents of garlic (Allium sativum L.) and shows its health benefits for humans. A large variability and diversity in the nutritional content of garlic was found in the literature, including functional properties (antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal, and immunological), and many health benefit components, such as antihypertensive, hypolipidemic, antiatherogenic, anticarcinogenic, antitumor, antiaggregant, fibrinolytic, immunomodulatory, and antianemic. Allicin and ajoene were identified among some of the compounds in garlic which are beneficial for human health. Quantity varies depending on bulb maturity and harvest location, and values range between approximately 1mg/g and 9mg/g for allicin and 0.12 mg/g to 0.22 mg/g of garlic oil macerate for ajoene

Inactivation of Coronaviruses in food industry: The use of inorganic and organic disinfectants, ozone, and UV radiation

Currently there is a worldwide pandemic due to Covid-19, which has caused a great impact on humanity in social, economic, psychological aspects and unfortunately on health. Due to the risk that food can also be a medium to cause virus diseases, the procedures in the food industry safety programs must be revised; and, to be more specific, to disinfect Covid-19. Some effective disinfectants that have been proved to inactivate the coronavirus are: chlorine dioxide, sodium hypochlorite, quaternary compound, ozone and UV-C (shortwave ultraviolet light). In this review, some treatments used to inactivate a virus, with an emphasis to the coronavirus family, and other influenza viruses, are reported. It has been concluded that the coronavirus could be inactivated using free chlorine solutions at 30 mg/L, sodium hypochlorite 0.25 %, or Chlorine Dioxide (99% purity) diluted at 1/2.5 relation. Also, alcohol is an effective disinfectant at concentrations of 62 to 71% of ethanol. With respect to the use of the quaternary compound, it can be used at concentrations of 0.10%. Ozone is another promising disinfectant to inactivate the coronavirus and Covid-19. Doses of ozone between 10 to 20 ppm for 10 to 15 minutes are recommended to inactivate the coronavirus with 3.5 log10 reductions. However, a warning should be reported to the use of high doses of exposure because it can be a risk to human health. UV-C can inactivate the coronavirus at a value of 67 J/m2 by 1 to 30 minutes of exposure.Currently there is a worldwide pandemic due to Covid-19, which has caused a great impact on humanity in social, economic, psychological aspects and unfortunately on health.

O futebol como programa esportivo para crianças com TEA no ensino fundamental

The difficulties that children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) experience to perform physical and sports exercises is a reality. This situation causes a low participation in physical and sports activities with their peers. The difficulties they present regarding motor skills hinder their participation in physical activities in groups, also causing less socialization within the sports context itself (Kruger, et al., 2019). Therefore, it is necessary to propose programs oriented to physical and sports practice, encouraging the participation in physical activities and increasing the social relations (Wong et al., 2015). With the intention of promoting sports for this group, a sports training program was designed based on pre-sports football games. The sessions managed to enhance children's physical and social skills in order to attain a general improvement in both skills, and thus transfer their capabilities and learning to other sports contexts. The purpose of this type of sports schools is to promote and encourage physical and sport activities for this group of people with ASD, as well as to prepare all children to participate in any type of sport. Sometimes, the lack of information regarding disability can lead to a rejection of people with disabilities by those responsible of directing sport practices, with the wrong intention of protecting them (González & Sosa, 2008). In order to measure the state of the art regarding sport leisure of children with ASD and the level of satisfaction reached under the sport training program, a questionnaire was distributed to the families of participants. The results obtained at the end of the research were positive, evidencing the need of promoting physical and sports activities as an alternative of leisure for people with ASD.Las dificultades que tienen los niños con Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) para realizar ejercicio físico y deportivo es una realidad. Esta situación provoca una baja participación en actividades físicas y deportivas con sus iguales. Los problemas que presentan a nivel motor dificultan la participación en actividades físicas grupales, provocando también un descenso en la socialización dentro del propio contexto deportivo (Kruger et al., 2019). Por ello es necesario proponer programas orientados a la práctica física y deportiva que favorezcan la participación en actividades físicas y un aumento de las relaciones sociales (Wong et al., 2015). Con la intención de promocionar el deporte para este colectivo se diseñó un programa de entrenamiento deportivo basado en juegos predeportivos de fútbol. Las sesiones sirvieron para potenciar las habilidades físicas y sociales con el fin de producir una mejora generalizada en ambas y, de esta forma, transferir sus capacidades y aprendizajes a otros contextos deportivos. La finalidad de este tipo de escuelas deportivas debe ser la de promover y fomentar la actividad física y deportiva para el colectivo de personas con TEA, además de preparar a todos los niños para que puedan participar en cualquier tipo de deporte. En ocasiones, la falta de información referente a la discapacidad puede provocar un rechazo hacia las personas con discapacidad por parte de los responsables encargados de dirigir la práctica deportiva, buscando la intención errónea de protegerles (González y Sosa, 2008). Para medir el estado de la cuestión referente al ocio deportivo de los niños con TEA y el nivel de satisfacción alcanzado con el programa de entrenamiento deportivo se administró un cuestionario a las familias de los participantes. Los resultados obtenidos al término de la investigación fueron positivos, lo que permitió justificar el impulso de la actividad física y deportiva como una alternativa de ocio para las personas con TEA.É uma realidade as dificuldades que meninos e meninas com Transtorno do Espectro do Autismo (TEA) têm para realizar exercícios físicos e esportes. Essa situação acarreta baixa participação em atividades físicas e esportivas com seus companheiros. Os problemas que apresentam no nível motor dificultam a participação em atividades físicas em grupo, causando também uma diminuição da socialização no próprio contexto esportivo (Kruger, et al., 2019). Portanto, é necessário propor programas voltados para a prática física e esportiva que favoreçam a participação em atividades físicas, bem como o incremento das relações sociais (Wong et al., 2015). Com o intuito de promover o esporte para esse grupo, foi elaborado um programa de treinamento esportivo baseado em jogos de futebol pré-esportivos. As sessões serviram para potencializar as aptidões físicas e sociais de forma a produzir uma melhoria geral em ambas e, dessa maneira, transferir as suas competências e aprendizagem para outros contextos esportivos. A finalidade desse tipo de esporte nas escolas deve ser a promoção e o incentivo à atividade física e esportiva do grupo de pessoas com TEA, além de preparar todas as crianças para que possam praticar qualquer tipo de esporte. Às vezes, a falta de informação sobre a deficiência pode causar uma rejeição por parte dos responsáveis pelo direcionamento da prática esportiva, às pessoas com deficiência, buscando a intenção equivocada de protegê-los (González e Sosa, 2008). Para mensurar o estado da arte em relação ao lazer esportivo de meninos e meninas com TEA e o nível de satisfação atingido com o programa de treinamento esportivo, foi aplicado um questionário às famílias dos participantes. Os resultados obtidos ao final da pesquisa foram positivos, o que permitiu justificar a promoção da atividade física e esportiva como alternativa de lazer para pessoas com TEA
