Biking Concept Can Fill a Water Bottle From Thin Air Every Hour
November 14, 2014 at 2:30:00 PM by Ramy Zabarah | 30 Comments

Forget constantly stopping to refill your water bottle on long bike rides. This designer has come up with a new way to quench your thirst on the go.

Kristof Retezár, a student at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, Austria, has invented a little thing called Fontus, which he calls a "self-filling water bottle for your bicycle."
According to Retezár, "This device collects the moisture contained in the air, condenses it and stores it as safe drinking water." It's powered by solar energy and can yield up to half a liter of water per hour if you're riding in the right amount of sunlight.

Retezár says he was motivated by the idea of bringing clean drinking water to those who have little or no access to it and must rely on bicycles as a primary source of transportation, The revolutionary idea is in the running for a James Dyson award.

Now take my money, Kristof.

Top Ten Things To Eat And Drink For Cyclists
.-.-.-.-.-.


10 alimentos imprescindibles para la pérdida de peso
Básicos para tu dieta, da igual la distancia.
Lo que tiene que estar en la lista de la compra de cualquier corredor que quiera perder peso, con independencia de la distancia que corra.

1) AGUACATES

Proporcionan grasa buena que te llenará y que es una buena sustituta de la mayonesa en los bocadillos. También tienen propiedades antiinflamatorias.

2) BAYAS

Están repletas de fibra, que te ayudan a sentirte saciado, y de antioxidantes que ayudan a reparar tejido.

3) VERDURAS CONGELADAS

No se estropean y aguantan mucho en el congelador, así que no tienes la excusa de tener que comerte una pizza en lugar de comer sano. Utilízalas en los revueltos o mezcladas con quínoa.

4) YOGUR GRIEGO

El yogur natural tiene mucha proteína y un sabor que (casi) podría sustituir al helado.


5) VERDURAS DE HOJA VERDE

Contienen gran cantidad de vitamina C, potasio y fibra en muy pocas calorías.


6) TERNERA SIN GRASA

La carne roja tiene altos contenidos de proteína y hierro, un nutriente importante para los corredores. Entre los cortes sin grasa puedes escoger entre ternera, lomo o solomillo.


7) MANTECAS DE FRUTOS SECOS

Sí, tienen un alto contenido en grasas. Pero se trata de grasa buena y proporcionan además proteína. Acompáñalas con algo de fruta y no te la comas a cucharadas.


8) PALOMITAS

¿Quieres darte un capricho que no te haga sentirte culpable? Elige las palomitas. Son integrales, así que no estás tirando por la borda todo el trabajo que estás haciendo.


9) QUINOA

Este cereal integral es rico en carbohidratos y proteína (lo que significa que no tendrás hambre a los 15 minutos de comer, como sí pasa con el arroz).


10) SALMÓN

Este pescado graso es rico en ácidos antiinflamatorios Omega 3 y proporciona además una gran cantidad de proteína.

EnteroMedics' Maestro System has become the first obesity device to be approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in ten years. The device, which the company compares to a pacemaker, is designed to block signals in the nervous system to reduce feelings of hunger.

Obesity is, excuse the phrasing, a growing problem across the world. It is estimated that one third of Americans are clinically obese. While eating less is may present the simplest and most obvious solution for many, combating obesity or stimulating weight loss, especially in the morbidly obese, is not a linear problem. Often it is simply not practicable or effective for those treating obese patients to recommend diet and exercise, and more drastic treatments such bariatric surgery are too invasive for some patients or may have other adverse effects.

The now FDA approved Maestro System, which has been in use in Australia since mid-2011, is implanted via an outpatient procedure. By applying electrical pulses in what EnteroMedics calls VBLOC vagal blocking therapy, it is designed to interfere with signals between the stomach and the brain along the vagus nerve, which regulates the digestive system. Like other approaches to suppressing appetite , the desired result is to decrease feelings of hunger or induce a sense of satiety. The implanted system is connected to a battery which must be regularly recharged by the patient.

The Maestro System is implanted in a short outpatient procedure
"VBLOC Therapy offers an entirely new approach to the treatment of obesity," says Scott Shikora, MD, FACS, EnteroMedics’ Chief Consulting Medical Officer. "By blocking signals along the nerves that connect the brain and stomach, VBLOC to reduces feelings of hunger and promotes earlier feelings of fullness, which can help people with obesity reduce the number of calories consumed and promote safe, healthy and durable weight loss."

The procedure is fully reversible and non-invasive and, according to the company, the system allows patients to "lose weight without lifestyle compromises," it is not designed to suit everyone who needs to shed a few pounds. EnteroMedics specifies that the device is "for the treatment of adult patients with obesity who have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 40 to 45 kg/m2, or a BMI of at least 35 to 39.9 kg/m2 with a related health condition such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol levels, and who have tried to lose weight in a supervised weight management program within the past five years."

While clinical trials showed that the device is effective, the FDA notes in its pre-approval report that the trial patients lost 8.5 percent of their excess weight compared to those implanted with a sham device, falling short of the 10 percent requirement. Despite this the FDA has approved the device, which will only be implanted at specially chosen clinics by surgeons who have undergone both implant and explant certification.

The same paper also noted that in longer term weight loss patients it is important that lifestyle and diet habits are also changed, along with any use of a device.
