Straw was piled up and burned by people, causing smoldering smoke to spread everywhere, spreading to the highway. Photo: Le Phu/ Newspaper As part of the series of events “Air pollution and our responsibilities”, the Science and Development Newspaper of Spark Magazine in collaboration with the Center for Living and Learning for the environment, the community (Live and Learn), the Internet. The Vietnam Clean Air Network (VCAP) organized an online seminar on the topic “Straw burning: Don’t waste gold and lessons from the community”. This is an opportunity for experts and businesses to share about applying local solutions to reuse straw, the challenges faced when completely ending burning straw in the field. Master Nguyen Thi Yen, Department of Agricultural Microbiology, Center for Organic Agriculture (Vietnam Agricultural Academy) said: In the winter-spring crop of 2021, there are at least 6 suburban districts of Hanoi (Soc Son, Dan Phuong) , Thanh Oai, Chuong My, Dong Anh, Ba Vi) with more than 1,000 hectares of fields applying straw treatment solutions to replace burning. Activities such as training the core group of farmers; deploying communication through online and group channels; technical guidance, practice handling solutions; Budget support for localities, cooperatives, farmers to access probiotics or collect straw has been implemented… Since then, many models and initiatives have been encouraged to be implemented such as: Association Women in Soc Son district process rice straw into organic fertilizer, Dan Phuong District Farmers’ Union distributes bio-products, Ba Vi district farmers collect straw and mill straw to make fodder for cattle… Ms. Truong Thi Thanh Nhan, Vice Chairwoman of the Women’s Union of Soc Son district, said that the collection of recycled straw into microbial fertilizer was implemented in Duc Hoa and Xuan Thu communes. In addition to propaganda to raise awareness for farmers, the District Women’s Union also helps households collect rice straw and compost 60 mounds (2 quintals of straw/mound), process it into micro-fertilizer, contributing to reducing reduce the burning of straw. Mr. Nguyen Tuong Hung, Director of Pho Hien Machine Co., Ltd. shared that the company is currently processing rice straw by using a straw roll machine in combination with a local plow to collect straw; technical support and consumption of the output straw. The advantage of the straw rolling machine is that it has a reasonable price, only about 5-10 million / machine. Harvest time is from 1-2 days after reaping and before plowing, yield from 1.5-3 ha/shift/hour. The straw roll has a diameter of 50cm, a width of 70cm, weighs from 12-14 kg, easy to carry, transport… At the seminar, the speakers and businesses answered some questions from readers related to the reuse of straw. The experts discussed and proposed some solutions using different technologies to continue using rice straw, increasing the value of straw in agriculture; can be applied from large scale for enterprises, cooperatives to small farmers. According to statistics from the Hanoi Department of Natural Resources and Environment, it is estimated that each year, the city generates over 1 million tons of rice straw and agricultural by-products. In which, the amount of straw burned in the field is about 352,000 tons (accounting for 33.7%). The burning of rice straw produces CO gas – a very toxic gas that can be deadly, and at the same time causes smoke and dust affecting road and air traffic safety in the area. In addition, according to experts, the nutrient content in straw ash is very low, so it has no effect on soil improvement.

High-end restaurants often limit serving food delivered at home because the shipping process more or less affects the quality and appearance of the dish. However, the Covid-19 epidemic has changed the situation. Luxury restaurants also have to change their home delivery business to meet the needs of diners during the epidemic season. If you want to have a hearty meal at home as good as a restaurant, you can refer to the quality food delivery addresses below. If you are on the eat clean diet, you can choose this address to order nutritious food. Green Garden’s healthy menu is quite diverse, suitable for lunches of office workers working from home. I used to order lunch at this restaurant which consisted of pan-seared salmon with lemon butter sauce, chia seeds cooked with milk and fresh fruit. 2 servings meet my criteria of being quick and nutritious for lunch. The main dish has a sweet salmon part, mixed with a rich, aromatic lemon butter sauce that drowns out the fishy taste of the fish. The meal is neatly arranged in a paper box, the sauce is also kept separately, the green vegetables including cauliflower, collard greens, lettuce, cowpea are neatly trimmed, not crushed. The hot portion causes the container to collect moisture during transportation, but does not affect the taste of the dish. After finishing the main course, I enjoyed a dessert with chia seeds cooked with milk and fresh fruit. Before delivering the food, the restaurant told me to put the chia seeds cooked with milk in the refrigerator before enjoying. The fragrant milk is balanced by the refreshing fruit taste. The pieces of fruit are carefully cut into circles, just eaten. This is my favorite part about this dish because many places often cut the fruit into squares that are quite difficult to eat. This dessert is also placed in a paper box with a silicone lid carefully, to avoid spillage during transportation. Before the epidemic broke out again, I had the opportunity to go to this restaurant and enjoy Vietnamese dishes with strange variations. Anan Saigon is the right address for those who are looking for new flavors through familiar dishes. The menu here includes dishes that sound both strange and familiar such as wagyu beef fried rice, snail pizza, tuna tacos, one-shot vermicelli, vegetarian spring rolls… The restaurant’s dishes are carefully prepared from the start to decorate before serving diners. Therefore, when switching to delivery, restaurant owners are also concerned when the packaging and transportation process can affect the beautiful dishes. This restaurant in the top of Asia’s best still serves home delivery to adapt to the pandemic situation. The meals are neatly arranged in styrofoam boxes, the lid of the box is often marked with good wishes sent to diners. Most of the items on the menu have delivery and apply many promotions to attract diners. From May 28, Quince restaurant also announced that it will stop accepting customers to dine in, only selling takeout or online orders. This restaurant is an ideal place for diners who love European food. The typical culinary style here is that the dishes are grilled on a wood stove. The last time I went to Quince, I enjoyed the tuna foie gras. The dish has a rather strange taste, is a contrasting combination of grilled fatty foie gras, mixed with the smell of smoke from firewood and a piece of fresh tuna that is toasted through the surface. The menu here is diverse, home delivery dishes are included in the restaurant’s monthly fixed menu, ranging from 200,000 VND to more than 1 million VND. The food here is suitable for a hearty party held at home. You can order BBQ lobster, avocado salad, BBQ cauliflower, lamb tenderloin with spicy muhammara sauce… to enjoy with your loved ones. If you love the taste of Mediterranean dishes, you can order food at Amun with dishes made from sheep or beef. In addition to Mediterranean-style dishes, this restaurant also has typical Moroccan lamb stew worth trying. The dishes at Amun are also suitable for a luxurious dinner with the family. You can order Amun beef short rib (beef ribs stewed in wine with mashed potatoes), Mediterranean charcoal grilled lamb skewers or charcoal grilled composite skewers. The restaurant only accepts shipping orders at the latest until 22:30 on weekdays. This restaurant specializes in hand-crafted dishes with fresh ingredients, preserving the flavors of traditional Italy. Pasta Fresca’s signature dish is the noodles. Diners can enjoy traditional Tuscan maremmani pici, black linguine, and cappelletti pasta. The dishes here are all meticulously prepared by Italian chefs. Last house dinner, I ordered smoke salmon salad (smoked tuna salad), fries topped with rosemary Parmigiano cheese, Australian steak BBQ with pita bread for 3 people. Because the transportation from Thao Dien to my house is about 7 km, the distance is quite long, so the potato part is a bit soft, but the taste is still guaranteed. The meal I ordered is subject to the promotion of free pizza margherita.

Burning rice straw often does not burn into flames, so there are many harmful gases in the smoke such as CO, CO2, SO2, NO2. Exhaust all toxic gas In 2020, the Hanoi People’s Committee issued Directive No. 15/CT-UBND on strengthening state management measures for the illegal burning of straw, crop by-products and other wastes in order to minimize the negative impact on the city environment. Prof. Dr. Hoang Xuan Co, Hanoi National University, said that now there are many researches and solutions to treat rice straw and limit post-harvest burning. However, the solutions need to be thoroughly researched, scientific and feasible. To solve the problem that needs to be studied to the end, we have had many studies such as converting tablets to burn, making mushrooms, and making manure. But the most basic is how to organize, where is the funding? Accordingly, from January 1, 2021, 100% of rice straw and crop by-products generated will be collected, reused or treated to meet environmental technical requirements; No more burning of straw, crop by-products and domestic solid waste in contravention of regulations in the city. However, at the beginning of June is the spring rice harvest of 2021, in many fields of the city, farmers continue to repeat the situation of burning straw. Typically in Soc Son district, people in communes: Phu Lo, Mai Dinh, Phu Cuong, Thanh Xuan, Tien Duoc… burn rice straw near Noi Bai International Airport, affecting the visibility of aircraft when taking off. , landing. Every year, the Northern Airport Authority must send an official dispatch to Soc Son district to take measures to prevent this situation. The Hanoi Department of Natural Resources and Environment said that the rate of burning straw in the spring crop is about 20%, higher than that of the crop. However, the actual number in districts is much larger such as: Thuong Tin, Thanh Oai accounted for 50%, Thach That 45%, Chuong My 37%, Thanh Tri 33%, Me Linh 30%, Soc Son 25. %… This situation not only causes traffic insecurity but also creates dust, smoke, greenhouse gas emissions, heat causing serious environmental pollution… Environmental experts analyze, burning rice straw often does not burn. As a result, the smoke contains many small dust particles and produces many harmful gases such as CO, CO2, SO2, NO2, affecting people’s health and increasing air pollution in the burning area as well as in the burning area. surrounding areas. Let straw not be a burden to the environment Prof. Dr. Pham Van Toan, Deputy Director of the Vietnam Institute of Agricultural Sciences (VAAS), shared that in the past, rice straw was considered a multi-purpose by-product for Vietnamese farmers (using for cooking, roofing, animal feed, etc.). But when the farming industry thrives, rice production is increasing, the annual source of rice straw generated in Vietnam is very large (estimated at about 50 million tons/year), then the straw is redundant and becomes waste to be treated. According to the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Vietnam currently burns more than 20 million tons of rice straw each year. Many localities have promoted the application of mechanization (straw roll machine) in the collection and transportation of straw. It is recommended that the application of biological products to treat rice straw after harvest into organic fertilizer for agriculture, contributing to minimizing environmental pollution. Facing the uncontrolled burning of straw in suburban districts, in the two years 2017 – 2018, Hanoi Department of Natural Resources and Environment introduced to 19 districts in the city a model of using bio-products. Learn to process rice straw into organic fertilizer, and at the same time support 50% of the cost of probiotics for farmers. Dan Phuong district (Hanoi) has an area of ​​​​about 2,500 hectares of rice cultivation. Every year, it has to process 37.5 thousand tons of rice straw and agricultural by-products. After 3 years of implementing the model “Field without burning straw”, using biological products to compost straw into organic fertilizer in 9 communes for growing crops, until now, the situation of burning straw The field is almost nonexistent. According to Mr. Thieu Van Son – Chairman of Dan Phuong District Farmers’ Association, this solution brings “dual” benefits of both improving crop productivity and protecting people’s health. But unfortunately, after a short pilot period and narrow scope, the project ended, the localities were not interested in communicating about the long-term benefits to farmers, so the straw returned to the reluctant treatment. is dried, burned. Strictly handle the act of burning straw in violation of regulations The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has just sent a written request to the People’s Committees of the provinces and cities to direct the Departments of Natural Resources and Environment, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Department of Information and Communications, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism; People’s Committees of districts, towns and cities organize propaganda and mobilization to prevent people from spontaneously burning waste, burning rice straw and agricultural by-products after harvesting crops; assigned Farmers and Women’s Unions, Youth Union to organize for members, union members and farmer households to sign a commitment not to burn rice straw in the field. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment also suggested that provinces and cities need to develop projects and tasks to guide farmers to implement measures to maximize collection, treatment and thorough processing of by-products, post-harvested rice straw into useful products. At the same time, direct the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, the Environmental Police, and local authorities at district, ward, and commune levels to strengthen inspection and strictly handle the improper burning of waste and agricultural by-products after harvest; direct Traffic Inspectors and Traffic Police to inspect and strictly handle vehicles carrying soil, stones, construction materials, and daily-life solid waste that are not covered, causing environmental pollution.

Greece has deployed a vaccine against Covid-19 and hopes to vaccinate most of its people by the end of June. (Source: Travel Blog) After months of lockdown, Greece this week will also reopen its museums, including the Acropolis museum, which displays famous sculptures from Greek antiquity. After officially reopening, foreign tourists will be allowed to visit Greece if they have had the Covid-19 vaccine or tested negative for Covid-19. Travel between regions, including islands, will also be allowed for those who test negative or have had a Covid-19 vaccine. Greece has deployed a vaccine against Covid-19 and hopes to vaccinate most of its people by the end of June. The Greek government said that with the implementation of Covid-19 vaccination and rapid testing as well as warmer weather for outdoor activities, tourists can travel and relax safely in the land. this country. In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic causing international tourism to slow down in 2020, the Greek tourism industry experienced its worst year ever, receiving only 7 million visitors compared to a record number. record 33 million visitors in 2019.

“Logically, minimizing exposure will help reduce harm.” To date, health authorities have argued that the FDA’s decision only allows the product to be designated “reduced exposure”, but that does not prove that heated tobacco products reduce the risk of disease to the health of the user. use. In addition, there have also been some medical experts who have made statements that contradict the FDA’s decision, saying that the product is not different from cigarettes. According to official information from the FDA, studies on heated tobacco have demonstrated that the aerosols produced by these products still contain high levels of harmful and potentially harmful ingredients, including: formaldehyde, acrolein, carbon monoxide; NNN and NNK (substances related to diseases caused by tobacco smoke) but significantly lower than the currently circulating combustible cigarettes. Specifically, depending on the type of substance, the average concentration in aerosol gas will be reduced from 55% to 99% compared to the smoke of cigarettes. The FDA declares a heated tobacco product to be marketed in the United States as a risk-modified tobacco product. At the same time, the FDA also said that in the process of reviewing the records, FDA has consulted users. The results showed that users also found that the risk of using these products was lower than that of smoking cigarettes. However, they are also fully aware that using this heated tobacco product carries a higher risk than quitting smoking or using nicotine replacement products. PGS.TS.BS. Tran Van Ngoc – Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Respiratory Association said that, logically, minimizing exposure will help reduce harm. Assoc. Dr. Le Van Quang, Director of Central K Hospital also stated: “From the oncologist’s perspective, when a patient smokes, the greater the amount of carcinogens exposed, the higher the cancer risk. And for cigarettes, one thing is important: nicotine is not the cause of cancer caused by smoking, but the cause of cancer is the molecules in the smoke created by the combustion of cigarettes. leaves”. Heated cigarettes: Young people are many times harder to access than cigarettes The US FDA is a reputable health authority in the US as well as globally. Accordingly, protecting the young generation and people’s health is the top goal of FDA. Therefore, allowing a single heated tobacco product to be allowed access to the US market shows that they have done thorough research and considered carefully before making a decision. Not only in the US, but in countries where this product is allowed to be sold, it is almost impossible for young people to access the product. In order to make a purchase, the buyer must go through a background check to ensure that the buyer is a smoker and is of legal age of majority in the country of origin. At the same time, although allowing this tobacco product to be commercialized, FDA also requires manufacturers to regularly update their sales and trade processes to ensure control of young people’s access to the product. This product is at its lowest. Meanwhile, compared to heated cigarettes, young people can easily buy cigarettes anywhere with as cheap as giving. FDA representative, Dr. Priscilla Callahan-Lyon, confirmed that the FDA has carefully studied the issue of the product’s impact on young people. Accordingly, in terms of appearance, a heated cigarette is a rather large set of equipment, difficult to conceal and is not cheap, must be used with its own custom cigarette, and this product also does not contain attractive aromas. young. Not only in the US, but in countries that allow the circulation of heated cigarettes, the level of impact of this product on young people or new users is almost under control. Despite accounting for 85% of global sales of heated cigarettes, only 0.1% of middle and high school students in Japan use heated cigarettes daily, which is only one-fifth of the total. percentage of students smoking burned cigarettes. It is worth noting that the number of students using heated cigarettes is the same group of students who have used cigarettes before. According to an independent study of 7,000 teenagers in Germany, the number of people aged 12-17 who used a heated tobacco product in the 30 days before the survey was almost zero. One study Another independent study of more than 11,000 teenagers aged 11-15 years old in Switzerland also found that less than 2% had ever used heated tobacco, while the number of people who smoked lit cigarettes in this same age range increased. to over 33%. Regulating heated tobacco: No violation of the FCTC . Framework Convention In a seminar held recently, Ms. Tran Thi Trang, Deputy Director of the Legal Department, Ministry of Health said: “The Ministry of Health proposes not to allow the import and sale of e-cigarette products, heated cigarettes because these products are addictive, harmful to health, and cannot be piloted for people’s health.” If according to the above argument, invisibly, cigarettes – the product with the highest level of addiction and harm to the health of users and the community – becomes a product that is protected exclusively and consumers. no longer have the right to choose harm reduction products. “Smokers don’t deserve to die just because they don’t know about less harmful nicotine products,” said Cliff Douglas, director of the University of Michigan’s Tobacco Research Network and former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. American Cancer Society (ACS) Tobacco Control Policy, former Advisory Counsel on Tobacco Control Policy to the US Surgeon General. Meanwhile, the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) of the World Health Organization (WHO) also recognizes heated tobacco as a tobacco product. Therefore, if Vietnam manages heated tobacco like the current tobacco control law in the host country, it is also completely consistent with what the Framework Convention has stipulated. Lawyer Phan Hoang Lam, Law Firm DT LAW. On the other hand, Lawyer (LS) Phan Hoang Lam, DT LAW Law Firm said that: The Law on Prevention and Control of Tobacco Harms 2012 defines “tobacco is a product produced from all or part of tobacco ingredients, processed in the form of cigarettes, cigars, tobacco, pipe tobacco or other forms”. On this basis, heated tobacco is considered “tobacco” because it contains tobacco leaf ingredients, consistent with the concept of “tobacco” under the current legal provisions of Vietnam. Therefore, this drug should absolutely be regulated by Vietnam’s Drug Prevention and Control Law. According to LS Lam, in order to manage smokeless tobacco products more effectively, Vietnam needs to consider international scientific bases to evaluate and compare the level of harm to health of tobacco. smokeless compared to burned cigarettes. At the same time, with the function of State management, in order to create free and fair competition among manufacturers and products and protect the interests of consumers, protect public health, regulatory agencies The state should immediately come up with a plan to build a legal corridor for the production, circulation and control of these products.

Accordingly, heated tobacco products are designated as tobacco products that reduce exposure to harmful substances to the body compared to cigarettes. This decision of the FDA is also a response to some concerns of governments around the world about the ability of products to reduce harm. In addition, other concerns were also answered by experts. The risk is lower than with cigarettes, higher than that of quitting To date, health authorities are concerned that the FDA’s decision to only allow products to be designated “reduced exposure” does not prove that heated tobacco products reduce the risk of disease to human health. use.

Need a plan to build a legal corridor According to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) of the World Health Organization (WHO), which Vietnam has acceded to and entered into force in March 2005, in the definition under article 1, item (f) published on the website of the Foundation for Prevention of Tobacco Harms (Vinacosh) also clearly states: “tobacco products” means products which are wholly or partly derived from tobacco materials manufactured to for sucking, sucking, chewing or inhaling. The 8th Conference of the Parties (COP8) held by WHO at the end of 2018 also once again reiterated that heated tobacco is recognized as a tobacco product. From this definition and the COP8 guidelines, it can be seen that whether according to the definition of the 2012 Law on Drugs and Prevention of Vietnam, or within the definition of the WHO Framework Convention on FCTC 2005, heated tobacco is a products must be subject to the control of the current Law on Drug Prevention and Control. Lawyer Phan Hoang Lam, Law Firm DT LAW On the other hand, lawyer Phan Hoang Lam, DT LAW Law Firm, said that the Law on Prevention of Tobacco Harms 2012 defines “Tobacco is a product manufactured from all or part of medicinal ingredients. leaves, processed in the form of cigarettes, cigars, tobacco, pipe tobacco or other forms”.

Blue light is the cause of rapid skin aging. Image source: Internet In daily life, blue light penetrates the skin and causes cell damage, and accelerates the aging process. Even brief exposures of less than 60 minutes can cause skin aging. Smoke Besides affecting health, smoking is not good for the skin as the habit causes the amount of oxygen to the cells to decrease. The obvious consequence is wrinkles around the mouth and eye area. Some other factors that are affected when you smoke include elasticity, skin texture, restorative function and pore size. Unhealthy diet Bad eating habits can stimulate oxidative stress in the body due to harmful free radicals. An unhealthy diet can lead to skin damage, wrinkles and even cancer. Consuming nutrient-rich foods like green vegetables and seasonal foods helps maintain youthfulness and fight the aging process. Irregular sleep Irregular sleep is also a factor that promotes the aging process. A person must have a good night’s sleep lasting 6-8 hours per night. Improper sleep patterns can cause dark circles under the eyes and affect health. Lack of sleep can depress mental alertness and lead to premature aging. Use face wipes Aside from washing technique, the way you dry your skin afterwards is also a factor in causing aging skin. Facial wipes can help you remove dirt and excess oil left on your skin after washing your face. However, using a face towel is not necessarily a good habit. When using a face towel, many people have a habit of having a strong impact on the skin. “Rubbing the skin can cause low-grade inflammation. Over time, this can cause skin pigmentation. Even rubbing will promote premature wrinkles,” says dermatologist Joshua Zeichner at Glamor. Therefore, experts recommend drying your skin with a soft towel. Or, better yet, get rid of the towel altogether. Rachel Nazarian, a dermatologist in Schweiger, New York, says: “Air-drying is the best method. It’s a simple way to prevent any irritation, inflammation and signs of aging.”

Using eel to make pate is not common in Vietnam. According to the traditional way of processing, eel is often stir-fried, braised with banana or cooked in porridge, soup… At Esta Eatery, eel is processed into a premium smoked pate. At first glance, the dish has an unusual form, consisting of a monochromatic milk-brown pate, accompanied by 3 slices of sourdough bread. However, smoked eel pate has always been a “superstar” on this restaurant’s menu since the first days of opening. “Currently, there is no second restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City serving this eel pate”, chef Francis Thuan introduced the dish. Eel pate is the first item on the restaurant’s menu. The dish has a modern Asian flavor when using local ingredients, applying European cooking methods. The Vietnamese flavor embodied in this dish is Phu Yen field eel meat, a cross between European cuisines through pate making and smoking techniques. This type of eel is caught wild, gives firmer and sweeter meat than conventional farmed eel. In addition to Phu Yen eel, the restaurant also uses eel caught in Nam Cat Tien. Referring to eel, most diners will think of traditional Vietnamese dishes. On the other hand, pate is a dish of French origin, usually made from pork, beef or foie gras. It is the use of pure Vietnamese ingredients to make French dishes that makes eel pate so special. Upgrading a familiar eel dish to a premium version depends a lot on the choice of ingredients. Wild-caught eels give fresh meat quality, hunting, and sweeter taste than farmed eels. In turn, the eel size is not uniform. The fat will give more meat and fat, the meat flavor is stronger. To make pate, in addition to the main ingredients, eel, there are also sour cream, olive oil, tare sauce, wasabi, wild pepper, foie gras and sourdough bread. Chef Thuan shared that foie gras is the highlight, marking the perfection of this eel pate. Originally, the eel pate recipe did not include foie gras. After 6 months of serving diners, the chef added wild pepper foie gras ingredients. This ingredient adds the missing greasy taste of the dish. At the same time, the use of foie gras represents the culinary intersection of modern fusion cuisine. Foie gras is grated to ensure that the eel pate retains the dominant flavor. The chef of Esta restaurant shared that the work of creating dishes is not standardized, so it is difficult to give a specific reason why adding this ingredient or removing another ingredient in a dish. “Creativity sometimes lies in the moment when suddenly thinking of an ingredient and forming a new dish at that moment,” said chef Francis Thuan. Making delicious food is like building a house. There are drawings with creative ideas, but the house is beautiful and good or not depends much on the construction process. Cooking is the same. The finished product is perfect, the taste conquers diners thanks largely to the processing stage. The process of making eel pate is the most elaborate in the smoking part. Before each batch of pate comes out of the oven, the eel is smoked for 4 hours. The smoking technique creates a distinctive flavor for this dish. When smoked at low temperature, eel will retain moisture, eel meat is soft, succulent, fragrant with typical smoked aroma. Before smoking, eels are carefully cleaned. Raw eel is very viscous, if not processed carefully, it will have a fishy smell, affecting the quality. The chef uses white salt to rub all over the eel, then rinse with lemon juice. The remaining oil is flushed 4-5 times until completely clean. While chatting with me, the chef shoveled charcoal to heat the oven. Because it is an open kitchen, the wood stove is designed to ensure that no smoke enters the dining area. When the oven reaches the right temperature, the chef arranges the eels about 40 cm long on a metal tray. The tray is placed about 2 hands away from the charcoal, the fire is adjusted just enough for the eel to cook slowly from the inside out. The oven is covered so that the smoke does not escape, sticking to the eel meat. After 4 hours of smoking, the chef carefully filters the eel meat. The small filtered eel meat is pureed with sour cream, fish sauce, pepper and lemon juice. The finished product is a smooth, creamy, milky-white pate. Pate is placed in a light brown ceramic bowl, almost the same color as the dish, making the portion less prominent. The chef uses a spoon to make a small circular groove in the middle of the pate, then put wasabi, olive oil, tare sauce in. These condiments are hidden by a layer of grated foie gras on top. The complete dish is served with a basket of crispy hot and sour bread. The complete appetizer to diners has a simple form. “It is only when the tip of your tongue tells you that this dish is not ordinary, when you bite into a slice of hot bread spread with pate, you will understand why eel pate holds the star position in the restaurant,” said the chef. Francis Thuan describes the taste of eel pate. The highlight of the dish lies in the spices hidden in the soft pate layer. Roll a piece of pate, diners will see a layer of tare sauce overflowing, along with wasabi and olive oil. The appearance of these two ingredients in the pate by Chef Thuan is inspired by the taste of Japanese eel sushi. “It sounds unrelated, but I separate ingredients such as eel, wasabi, tare sauce of Japanese eel sushi and combine them into pate,” said Mr. Thuan. When eaten with bread, diners will clearly feel the pungent taste of wasabi, the salty taste of the brown sauce similar to soy sauce. There is another spicy taste that makes you numb the tip of your tongue, which is wild pepper soaked in grated foie gras. This seasoning helps foie gras reduce fat, suitable for Vietnamese taste. Each dish that arrives at the table will be carefully introduced to the ingredients and how to enjoy. Following the chef’s instructions, I rolled the pate from the middle so that the spices flowed out evenly on both sides. I used a knife to get the pate, not forgetting to mix it with the seasoning. Holding a slice of hot sourdough bread from the basket, I spread the pate evenly on the cake, slowly enjoying the dish. From the first bite, I felt many layers of flavors. The crispy bread is blended with the soft, fatty pate, in which there is also the salty taste of tare sauce, the taste of olive oil clinging to the tip of the tongue, the spicy aroma of wasabi and wild pepper. The aftertaste that lingers in the throat is a distinct smoked smell. After having this appetizer, the chef suggested I drink a glass of riesling (white grape wine). I can’t figure out how to look at it, that’s how I think about this dish. When I first heard the name, I imagined the fishy smell of the eel that I had eaten before, so I didn’t expect much. Moreover, the food looks really unimpressive, if not boring. However, the taste surprised me after using all 3 slices of bread with eel pate. The fishy taste of the eel is no longer due to being carefully prepared, mixed with spices to increase the smell. If you are afraid to enjoy eel in the traditional way, eel pate served with sourdough bread served at Esta restaurant is a combination worth experiencing.

Remember when I was a kid, remember the first time my mother taught me and my sisters how to make a fire to cook rice. In the countryside that day, starting a fire was very simple, just a little dry straw, a piece of rubber band or a little bagasse is enough. Firewood is collected around the house, stacked and interwoven, leaving a space for the fire to enter; There are times when lighting the fire first and then arranging the firewood around. The fire burned, my sisters and I happily clapped their hands in excitement. Small round eyes looked curiously at the burning sticks. The gray-white smoke followed the slits of the tree trunks flying in all directions, piercing the eyes and noses of the children who were staring at them, stinging. Yet we were still laughing and joking, using our hands to “slash” the smoke like real warriors. I remember the most days when it was raining, when the firewood was wet, my sisters and I blew the stove and coughed because of the smoke. Or on summer days, when the southwest wind blows strongly, the fire is blown to one side by the wind, the rice cooker on the stove has a ripe day. For a long time we were attached to the wood stove, with the smell of kitchen smoke. When I remember those days when I was a child, my heart feels happy again… The strong aroma of the kitchen smoke lingers here and there. From the small kitchen, that smoke followed the wind up to the dark thatched roof, crept through each wall of earth, ran to the back of the house, and flew straight to the sky with many unique shapes. In our imagination, it is sometimes a flying dragon, sometimes a leaf in the wind, or a rope stretching up to the blue clouds… There are afternoons we are busy chasing in the fields, the smell of smoke The kitchen mixed with the aroma of food made us children stop, inhale, and then hug our hungry stomachs and run straight home. In the minds of the children, the smoke from the kitchen was rising and it was time for lunch. Grilled dishes in charcoal are always attractive to any child, are the favorite dishes of children in the countryside, and arouse curiosity for children in the city today. Sometimes it’s just a hastily dug sweet potato in the garden or a cashew nut that has just been picked from the tree, immediately put in the embers on the stove, buried in the gray ash and wait. The faint aroma follows the smoke into each cell, evoking each sense, making people irresistible. Hold the potato and just poke it out from the coal stove, blow it and eat it, hot and fragrant. Memories of a small day suddenly came back so clearly and warmly. For those who grew up in the countryside, the fire is also a place of peace and a place to return to. My mother often said: “On the first day of the year, what can be forgotten, but must not forget to light a fire to warm the house, it will bring good things to us”. And that was also the first thing my father did on New Year’s Day, no matter how many years passed. My sister and I sat around the fire with our hands warmed. The strong scent of kitchen smoke wrapped us again, interspersed with children’s stories. That lovely image keeps reminding me… In modern life, the wood stove, coal stove has gradually been replaced by gas stove, electric stove. The corner of the kitchen is also clean now, no longer black on the walls, and no soot flying around. I was also reeling in society, seeming to have forgotten the smell of smoke rising from the branches of the trees. Suddenly I realized how long I had rushed through the best memories. I am grateful and grateful for the habit of cooking water every morning with my parents’ dear wood stove so that today, I can smell the smoke from the kitchen. Even though my eyes sting because of the smoke, I still feel as happy as celebrating. Apparently, it’s been a long time since I’ve had time for myself, with my mother, back to the peaceful countryside that raised me up. And to return to my childhood days with the light, fragrant smoke in the morning… MAKEUP

Especially the meat has the smell of smoke. The smoke bursts into the nose like mustard. But it is not pungent, not harsh, not spicy, not as strong as mustard. Bacon also has high antibacterial and antiseptic properties. Especially low in calories, very beneficial for health. Meat while hanging upstairs in the kitchen. During the traditional Lunar New Year holidays, my hometown’s family members all by themselves slaughter pigs for Tet. Pig New Year is given special pampering, only give it about 50 kg, no more. The people below are called swine ounces. And the Tay people call it mu ot. The meat is divided to pack banh chung, make offerings to ancestors, cook a feast to treat relatives, brothers, and friends … The extra meat is filled with hot, full of stalks, full of rice (cuoi xoi is a household item made of woven bamboo of the Tay people). Just looking at it, my eyes felt full. The oldest descendants learn according to the elders, making the meat dishes hanging from the kitchen for smoking, used to store food gradually, it seems that is the main thing. The smoked pork steak is prepared in a traditional way. The sliced ​​meat was larger, cut twice as thick as the machiner’s hand, and left as long as possible. Each piece of meat weighs about 2 to 5 pounds. To make up for a long time it loses. After seasoning with white wine, mix with refined salt, especially crushed mountain ginger. Wait for the meat to infuse spices, it will turn from white, to yellow, then tie it up to the pole, hang under the kitchen attic. Just like that. It’s easy. Anyone can do it. Then string the meat to hang on the pole. The wrong dangling meat is like a loofah. Visitors come to visit the house, always remember to lower their heads, otherwise they will touch the flesh. In the early days of hanging, the meat gave off a fishy smell, stinking, sour, stubborn … but it was attractive to men. Especially men or alcohol. The stinging smell evokes irresistible cravings. The smoked kitchen guard is a great invention of our Tay fathers. The elders told them to do so, to prevent natural disasters, storms, flash floods … suddenly crashed. In case someone in the house suddenly came to visit and so on and so forth. The owner does not have to roll up his pants and hats to the market to buy food for guests. It means that a hundred things suddenly appear, so you need to anticipate and prepare. In the remote mountainous areas, the pigs suck, half a day away from the market. In the past, there was no refrigerator in the house, the transportation was very complicated, the traffic was not convenient like in the plain and in the city. People only need less than an hour to get enough. Even at midnight, there is also someone to serve to take home. Long-smoked steaks never worry about spoilage or rotting. This meat is very strange, there is how much water and tissue is automatically squeezed out by the fire smoke, leaving only genuine lean fat meat. The meat is solid. The bacon from my hometown is different from the birch bacon of a western lady. They still have to keep the meat and fish in the refrigerator there. That means that bacon is not much different from fresh meat. Probably people smoke through the speakers to take the smoke as an example. Or to get the smell of promete … Of course, its shelf life is only a few or four months is the train theater. Saying that, I do not mean to disparage Tay for not knowing how to do like the Tay. Because of their ecological environment, they are different from themselves. Their criteria for enjoying food are also different from mine. They differ completely from each other in every way, especially in terms of inhalation and intake. Smoked meat when it is processed into a dish. And the smoked meat of the Tay’s kitchen, just using a knife to cut each slice from the pole to bring it down. Wash thoroughly with water to wash the rice, scrub it clean and dust, then slice it thinly, fry it with fresh garlic. Food will smell like grilled grass, it has the effect of lowering fat in the liver and blood sugar, lowering blood pressure. If sauteed with lemongrass leaves, it can cure cough and phlegm. If stir-fried with star fruit will aid digestion, lose weight, increase eyesight, and supplement protein. If fried with bamboo shoots will prevent cancer, anti-inflammation, good for the heart … In short, the ancestors of the Tày – Nung people knew how to rationalize daily food with medicinal plants, planted in the home garden, available in the forest. It means you want everything you want. Want to scoop at any time. Not fiddly with prelude, time consuming. What else. Like that but dysentery. Therefore, the body of the Tay-Nung boy is like a statue of David coming out. All men are tall, strong, muscular, and have few diseases. Up to this twenty-first century, but still smoked kitchen guard pork is still hanging in the house. Although many people, many families have bought new curved fridges, which are Samsung, Sharp, Hitachi, Pansonic, LG … gleaming with rows of fresh and delicious food for the whole week and month without having to worry about carrying. market lane. But let me say honestly, food no matter how fresh it is, but keeping them in the refrigerator is like embalming the quintessence of heaven and earth. It is against the law of nature. Capturing the tastes of consumers, many private establishments in Cao Bang have automatically organized mass production of smoked kitchen guard pig market, which is of commercial nature, no longer follow small seasons. flat like before again. They spend money to build an oven completely. Every oven was as big as a fourth grade house. They smoked it with charcoal and bagasse which was produced locally. Tens of tons of meat per day are licensed for release. Bagasse smoke becomes “special treatment” energy used to smoke meat. And it seems that only the Tay – Nung people can bring into play this sweet and fragrant smoke effect. The modern smoked pork also seems to be somewhat “gentle”, “in uniform” than the seniors. They are no longer “harsh” rushing into the nose like the smoke of firewood stewed by her. The Cao Bang bacon that goes with any kind of rice is strangely juicy. Remember when eating, need to chew thoroughly. Chew like to go for a walk to watch fish. While chewing while listening to the root of my teeth, fresh water is pouring out. Sweet gradually sweetened to the ears. But the best is eaten with sticky sticky rice phjng (bee sticky rice). The oldest, delicious sticky sticky rice variety remains only at Ngoc Con, Chongqing. When the sticky rice was poured out of the mouth and put it in the bowl, the cloudy white smoke immediately jumped up, covering the meat smoke. Smoke fell into the smoke like a hundred years to meet again. They immediately shut their eyes shut together. They hugged each other panting. They twisted tangerines to bite each other. They clasped together like this time was their last love. Today’s smoked kitchen guard has become a specialty brand of Cao Bang cuisine. Smoked meat is carefully and carefully preserved by the establishment’s owner, packed with cellophane, and vacuum-aspirated. One can take it anywhere, give it to anyone, any season. Bacon is ready to serve all subjects, restaurants …

A day of bad air pollution recorded in New Delhi in January 2021 – Photo: AFP Chiang Rai is one of Thailand’s most beautiful provinces, with undulating hills, forests, elephant camps and top quality agricultural products. At the northernmost point of Chiang Rai is the confluence of the majestic Mekong River, which flows down from China and the Ruak River. Located on a nearby mountain slope, Anantara Golden Triangle Resort is one of a number of 5-star resorts attracting hikers, elephant lovers and landscape lovers. However, last week, only a few rooms here had guests staying. According to Nikkei Aisa, it was not the Covid-19 epidemic, but the haze in the dry season every year, making the scenery not only lose its breathtaking appearance but also toxic. The concentration of PM2.5 – fine dust with a diameter of less than 2.5 μm in the air – measured here on April 4 is nearly 400 micrograms / m3 of air, nearly 40 times higher than the safety level of the group. World Health Organization (WHO). Tourists wearing masks in Chiang Mai, Thailand in April 2019. For at least 15 years, this region has recorded many days with the highest PM2.5 in the world. Dust covered the northern provinces of Thailand. For at least the past 15 years, Chiang Mai, the neighboring province of Chiang Rai, has seen many days with the highest PM2.5 in the world. Unlike many parts of Asia, the air pollution crisis in northern Thailand was not caused by factories, cheap fuels and transportation, but from fires caused by intentional burning and burning agricultural by-products. “ENTRANCE DAY” OF ASIA Thailand’s green north, which has no industrial zones, is now at the heart of the global air pollution crisis. As recommended by the World Health Organization, the safe level of PM2.5 concentrations averaged 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air annually. Currently, however, less than 8% of the world’s population can breathe that safe atmosphere. And nowhere in the world has this index worse than Asia. According to the Swiss air quality technology firm IQAir, in the ranking of the worst air pollution cities in the world last year, the top 148 cities were all in the Asia-Pacific region. Thailand’s city of Chiang Rai was covered in smoke from forest fires and straw burning in 2019 – Photo: Getty Images According to a study published in the Journal of Cardiology Research in 2015, the air pollution death rate has caused nearly 8.8 million deaths globally, of which nearly 6.5 million are in Europe. ASIAN. This is becoming one of the most serious public health risks globally, even more so than cigarettes. In terms of health threats, the response to air pollution and the Covid-19 epidemic is completely different. Because, while a huge public budget is allocated to control the spread of the disease, addressing air pollution has remained largely flat. However, the annual number of deaths due to dust is many times higher than that of the more than 300,000 deaths caused by the Covid-19 pandemic last year in Asia, according to data compiled on worldometers.info. For many years, health agencies have raised the alarm about air quality in Asia. China’s so-called “doomsday atmosphere” has set off a decade of alarming about the serious health effects of air pollution. This situation has gradually improved thanks to strict Beijing measures. Bangladesh, India and Pakistan are now replacing China with the worst air quality in the world. “The world has turned its back on cigarettes, but now it has to deal with ‘new cigarettes’ – the toxic air that billions of people breathe every day,” World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said. “No country, rich or poor, can escape air pollution. This is a silent public health emergency.” A coal-fired power plant of Huaneng Shandong Rui Group is owned by the Chinese government in Sahiwal, Pakistan – Photo: Getty Images One of the reasons that Asia is hit hard by air pollution is its high population density. Top 4 countries with the most population density in the world have 3 Asian representatives: China, India and Indonesia. The total population of these three countries is 3.1 billion, accounting for about 39.2% of the global population. INDONESIA: SWEETS In Indonesia, fires caused by forest clearing are the cause of serious pollution. Seven out of 10 ASEAN countries were affected by haze caused by burning fires in Indonesia, according to a Greenpeace report. In particular, Singapore and Malaysia were most affected. The report, released after two decades of research, says the haze “causes widespread health problems including lung and cardiovascular disease”. In 2015, scientists at Harvard and Columbia Universities (USA) estimated that haze caused about 100,000 premature deaths in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. According to estimates of the World Bank (WB), the haze caused more than 16 billion USD in damage to the Indonesian economy. In February, Mr. Mohammad Mahfud MD, Indonesia’s Security Minister, said the total area affected by forest fires last year was nearly 300,000 hectares. This figure, although improved compared to 2019, is still 5 times larger than the area of ​​the capital Jakarta. In 2019, about 1.6 million hectares of forests in Indonesia were burned, leaving at least 900,000 people with respiratory problems. Economic loss of the eight affected provinces is 5.2 billion USD. INDIA AND PAKISTAN: GENERAL POINT OF CONTAMINATION According to IQAir 2020, in terms of PM2.5 fine dust concentration, the air quality in the Indian city of Delhi has improved by about 15% compared to 2019 thanks to nationwide blockade measures to prevent Covid-19 epidemics. . However, this is still the city with the worst pollution levels in the world. By 2020, air pollution is estimated to have killed some 54,000 people in the Indian capital, causing $ 8.1 billion in damages – or 13 percent of Delhi’s GDP, according to Greenpeace and IQAir. The (avoidable) air pollution deaths in Mumbai and Bangalore cities are 25,000 and 12,000, respectively. Smoke enveloped the Indian Gate in New Delhi on December 25, 2018 – Photo: Nikkei Asia India has 22 representatives in the top 30 most polluted cities in the world. Despite improving over the past few years, the country’s air pollution remains at a “dangerously high level”, according to a Greenpeace report. The annual average PM2.5 concentration of Delhi is 84.1 micrograms / m3 of air. For comparison, Beijing’s figures are 37.5, Seoul 20.9, Paris 12.2 and London 9.6. India and Pakistan have something in common about pollution: Vehicle dust. IQAir ranks Pakistan as the second most polluted country in the world and is estimated that about 20% of deaths in the country are related to air pollution. Malik Amin Aslam, Pakistan’s climate change minister, said 40 percent of the haze in the country was caused by vehicle emissions. Some other causes are industrial emissions and crop burning around the Lahore region and the border in India. “In Pakistan, the use of dirty fuels has exacerbated air pollution,” said Ahmad Rafay Alam, environmental lawyer at Lahore and Yale World Fellow. To mitigate the air pollution crisis, the Pakistani government has set a target to increase the sales of electric vehicles to about 30% of total vehicle sales by 2020, while also requiring the import of only fuels that meet Euro-V standards. . However, Mr. Ahmad Rafay Alam said that the fuel and electric vehicle import policy exists only on paper because the government has not taken practical steps to implement them. VIETNAM: THE PRICE OF GROWTH? According to GlobalData’s forecast, Vietnam is the most growing economy in ASEAN with real GDP growth of 8.5% this year. However, with this growth, concerns about the environment are increasing. According to a Q&M survey of nearly 800 people aged 18-49, 79% of respondents said that air pollution is their biggest environmental concern. 84% consider environmental problems to be more serious in 2020. According to official data, Vietnam lost about 10.8-13.2 billion USD per year due to air pollution. The Global Alliance for Health and Pollution estimated 50,232 people died from air pollution in Vietnam in 2017. Motorcyclists in Hanoi, Vietnam in 2019. In a recent survey, 79% of Vietnamese respondents said that air pollution is their biggest environmental concern – Photo: EPA PM2.5 concentrations around Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City hit a particularly high level in November and December 2020. Facing this situation, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has directed the local government to install an additional air monitoring system. Last January, the Prime Minister also issued a directive on air pollution control. The government recommends that people close windows, wear outdoor masks and wash their noses with salt water for both the young and the elderly. CHINA: DETERMINATION MEASURES China is ranked 14th out of 106 countries for IQAir’s 2020 air pollution level. However, this ranking has improved significantly compared to previous years when the country’s average PM2.5 concentration fell from 41.2 micrograms / m3 of air in 2018 to 34.7 last year (albeit still). 3 times the WHO safety standard). Over the past few years, China has taken drastic measures at the government level to clean up the atmosphere. Last year, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced a carbon neutral goal by 2060. Last January, China’s National Energy Administration was warned by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment for its negligence in controlling coal production. This is a rare reprimand in China’s state agencies. According to Nikkei Asia, China only really started to tackle its air pollution problem drastically in 2013, when coal could meet two-thirds of domestic electricity demand. China currently leads the world in solar power development at a significantly reduced cost relative to the world. The country’s electric vehicle and battery sectors also lead the world. Drastic measures by China in recent years include relocating polluting old factories. Earlier last year, 46 factories in Hebei province, near Beijing, were relocated to reduce industrial pollution, especially from steel, cement and glass production. The Forbidden City in Beijing was covered in smog in 2018 – Photo: Nikkei Asia However, not all solutions to China’s air pollution are environmentally friendly. The country’s push to build hydroelectricity to reduce coal use has raised environmental concerns in many Southeast Asian countries.

Slow throttle response is the most common sign on turbocharged engines. This is caused by a suspended exhaust, i.e. always open or a vehicle with a fuel delivery problem.

When the turbo doesn’t accelerate as quickly as before then the first issue to consider is the turbocharger. Likewise, when the turbo has trouble maintaining its speed or is unable to reach a certain speed threshold, it is possible that the turbocharger is faulty.

Slow throttle response is the most common sign on turbocharged engines

1. Increase fuel consumption

Another benefit of using turbochargers is increased fuel economy, so if you notice a significant increase in your vehicle’s fuel consumption, you have to bring your garage to the test. This symptom can be caused by a variety of problems including a leak in the turbo causing raw fuel to flow into the exhaust.

1. Excessive exhaust fumes

A turbocharger reduces emissions which means it also significantly reduces the amount of exhaust fumes emitted from the exhaust on both petrol and diesel engines.

When the amount of smoke is generated too much even when the engine has warmed up, it could be a sign of a broken turbo, namely a crack in the case or worn seals.

This causes fuel to leak into the exhaust system, significantly increasing the amount of smoke released from the vehicle’s exhaust (or exhaust). Blue smoke may indicate a worn or worn valve seal or piston ring.

When the smoke is generated too much even when the engine has warmed up, it could be a sign of a broken turbo

1. Loud shout

The turbocharged engine actually works quieter because it reduces the sound of the intake air. However, if you hear a loud screech coming from the engine compartment, it is a sign that the turbocharged engine is not working properly.

Generally the louder the noise, the greater the damage, the problems that cause this noise such as: damage to the fan blade, vacuum leak, damage to the divider valve or poor ECU Remap.

1. Check the engine lights

On most modern cars, the computer system will detect turbo damage. According to maintenance care experience, this is the first sign that a car’s turbocharger is having problems.

The role of collagen in the skin

Collagen is a fibrous protein that accounts for about 30% of the protein in the body, accounting for 70% of the skin structure. The collagen fibers are long and thin, intertwined, creating a collagen network. The collagen network is the foundation of the skin. Collagen plays a role in connecting skin cells, stimulating the metabolism of skin cells, creating elasticity, firmness for the skin, and healing wounds. Therefore, collagen is the main ingredient that helps firm, smooth skin, is the deciding factor for the beauty of the skin. In the skin, collagen is most concentrated in the dermis.

As collagen is deficient due to degradation over time, the collagen fibers under the skin degrade in both quantity and quality, and the skin faces an unrestrained decline. Because at this time, the skin’s frame is weakened, the resistance is poor, wrinkles appear, the skin is sagging, the folds and sagging are worse.

Collagen depletion is a natural process in the body. After the age of 25, the amount of collagen in the body is reduced in two trends:

Quantity reduction: Every year, the amount of collagen decreases by 1%. By the age of 30, the amount of collagen is significantly deficient. This causes the amount of collagen to decrease gradually, the collagen network structure becomes loose and weak. The skin begins to show signs old.

Loss of quality: Due to the degeneration of collagen fibers over time: Being stretched, flaky and broken makes the skin no longer able to maintain firmness, elasticity, and smoothness. Skin becomes dull, dry. Collagen reduction in each year is calculated as follows: After age 25: Skin has a shortage of collagen 1.5%; after the age of 30, there is a 15% shortage of collagen; After age 40, there is a lack of 30% of collagen and 45% of the amount of collagen after the age of 50.

Stress, stress reduces the natural collagen production.

What factors reduce collagen?

Age: Typically, collagen production begins to decline by about 1% per year, from the moment you begin your late teenage years. Depending on the person, this phase can start sooner or later.

Damage by UV rays: Many studies show that up to 90% of skin aging is caused by the sun and only 10% due to factors inside the body. The sun’s UV rays can damage the skin, depleting the collagen in the skin. UV exposure can damage collagen through a variety of mechanisms, including damaging the DNA of collagen-producing cells, as well as promoting the production of free radicals that directly affect collagen. collagen in the skin.

Smoking: Smoking cigarettes can cause many negative health effects, including accelerating premature aging. Smoking cigarettes can reduce the amount of oxygen reaching tissues, making them unable to regenerate, becoming damaged and dying. This can lead to premature wrinkle formation.

Inflammatory diet: Inflammation is one of the main “enemies” of tissues in the body, including collagen-derived connective tissue. Inflammatory diet is a diet high in sugar, simple carbohydrates, processed foods … that can stimulate the immune system, promote inflammation in the body. In particular, the high sugar content in the body causes collagen in the skin to harden, break open, weaken the skin, promote premature aging.

Stress, stress, insomnia: Excessive stress can trigger inflammation, reducing the body’s ability to naturally produce collagen. Stress also increases the hormone cortisol, which in turn contributes to reducing collagen production nature.

Genetics: Genetics is an important factor that can determine how much collagen the body breaks down and rebuilds. Therefore, if your grandparents, your parents keep beautiful, youthful skin for a long time, it is very likely that you will also inherit this.

How to supplement collagen? Skin Care

Facial massage: This is a simple yet effective way. Every day you perform a facial massage for about 10-15 minutes can stimulate collagen production and enhance blood circulation,

Use moisturizers for the skin: Natural home masks such as aloe vera mask, honey mask and egg yolk can be used to keep skin clean, firm and soft.

Lifestyle changes

Quit smoking and eat less sugar.

Protect your skin from the effects of UV rays: When on the street, you should use a hat, sunglasses, a mask, and a sunscreen to protect your skin, use sunscreen even when it is not sunny.

Enhance physical exercise to exercise sports: Exercise facilitates blood circulation, more deeply, brightens skin, radiant and even color. Regular exercise will help slow down the aging process as it promotes collagen production.

When the skin is full, collagen will become firm and youthful.

Recover collagen with food

Choose foods rich in vitamin C: Natural collagen supplement with fruits such as oranges, lemons, blueberries, and grapefruit provide your body with a plentiful amount of vitamin C. This is considered to be a powerful antioxidant that both removes harmful free radicals, stimulates the body to produce collagen, maintains skin elasticity and prevents skin aging. effective skin. Vitamin C is a key ingredient in the formation of collagen. If the body lacks vitamin C, the amino acids cannot connect to make collagen.

Dark green vegetables help replenish collagen: Dark green vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, asparagus, broccoli … contain many vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that help prevent Harmful free radicals, improve the skin’s resistance and stimulate the body to increase collagen production effectively.

Red fruits and vegetables: These foods are rich in the antioxidant active ingredient lycopene. This substance both acts as a natural sunscreen and helps stimulate the body to increase collagen production effectively. Therefore, you should increase your intake of red vegetables such as bell peppers, tomatoes, strawberries, carrots, berries, watermelon …

In addition, avocado, cowpea, soybeans, garlic … are very effective collagen recovery foods.

– My children, my kids … – There was a woman rushing to the gate of a burning house, screaming lost her voice and then collapsed.

The three-storey house, with a fairly solid door system, right now, smoke and fire are gushing out from the windows.

Suddenly a young man slipped past everyone, quickly climbed the fence, broke into a 3-storey house, neighbors looked up at the encouragement: “Mommy … fighting …”. Fire smoke is still hazy, the taps are still pouring. Germs see fire burning in the face, dark smoke. Regardless, Mam still aggressively ran up the stairs. When she reached the third floor, she kicked the door of the room where she was crying, rushing in.

She was about 7 or 8 years old, shaking, crying, rubbing her eyes with her hand. Quickly cut, Germ ran back, grabbed her tightly, then turned down the fire and smoke. While running, because of the haze, Mam accidentally bumped into an iron door that was heated by the fire, and her flesh burned. When she got outside, just put her down, she fell down and lost consciousness.

The person who took Mam to the hospital was Vuong, the police of the Phuc Xuan street area. Seeing Mam lying motionless on the emergency bed, her flesh smudged with smoke, the burns were red, and the skin that was wrinkled looked pitiful. Mam’s chest rose and fell, sometimes light and irregular, he must be having a hard time breathing, suddenly in Vuong a surge of pity. For Vuong, acting bravely, despite the danger of rushing into the fire to save people is a great surprise. Vuong could not explain, a person who was always taciturn like M was committed like that.

Illustrated by: Le Tri Dung

The woman who was the mother of the child who had just been rescued by Mam went into the emergency room, she knelt at her feet, trembling:

– My mother and daughter have been grateful for a lifetime.

At the same time, Mr. Man’s father Man panicked and ran into:

– Baby … Are you okay …

Vuong comforted Mr. Man:

– Probably okay, man.

At this time, Vuong’s heart was filled with mixed thoughts. The image of Sam more than half a year ago when he arrived at the ward police station to submit the papers to the re-education camp appeared once again in front of Vuong’s eyes …

*

Germ said, not speaking but pleading:

– I will do it again … Yes, I promise I will do it again … just ask for one thing … don’t tell anyone I was in jail, especially my dad …

Vuong, the area police of Phuc Xuan street, looked at Mam with serious eyes:

– We believe in your promise for the time being, and will not inform who you have to go to prison yet … But anyway I have to tell you, you just came back from darkness, then live so that you don’t get smeared. . Be an honest person.

Saying that, but in fact Vuong couldn’t believe it. Many people who make mistakes when they get out of prison have promised to become kind people, but among them, many “horse used to the old way” broke the law. But anyway, he refused to say that it was acceptable for him to go to jail. Maybe he feels ashamed, and ashamed for his mistakes. Maybe letting no one know his guilt will make him live better. The point is to watch closely, and if there is anything to help him pay his salary, he must be ready to do it.

Leaving the ward police headquarters, Mam waited until the street lights along Phuc Xuan street came on and went home. Mr. Man opened his mouth, rolled his eyes, when he saw that his son had been missing for more than three years, now suddenly present in front of him. His body was shaking, his hands and feet were worn out, and it took him a long time before he could speak:

– Germ … is it Germ?

Drowsiness and motionlessness. Only tears flowed faintly on his face. At night during the dinner, Mam told her father:

– Your story for the past few years is long and not good, so you should never ask me, where did you go in the past few years, what did you do. – Then Frightened: – If only once, I ask about it, I will leave again, but this time I went.

Mr. Man stammered:

– Yeah! … I didn’t ask … I never asked.

Mr. Man sighed. I heard the sigh of my father, but my heart felt iron.

In the 12th grade, she often dropped out of school, dunked into the bar, smoked cigarettes, drank alcohol, then became addicted to gambling, especially football betting … She kept slipping down the path that had no way out. .

Everyday, Mr. Man pushes the pedicab away from early morning. He went to the station to stop at Song market, whoever rented something would carry it. Just struggling, sunny days as well as rainy days, not much income. Mr. Man was reserved, worked hard, and could do whatever money he could to nurture and take care of Mam. I am asking for money for school, asking for money to contribute to the school, class, or other miscellaneous, Mr. Man has all responded. He did not expect that these amounts, Sam were burned into the restaurant, or betting football …

More and more the pleasures increasingly wrapped Mam. You must have money for whatever you play. She also knows that her father makes money by riding a pedicab so he doesn’t have much money. I always lie to ask for money until my father has money left! Want to play must have money. Want money to make money. At the right time, Binh, a friend in a gang, invited Mam to go to the border to work as a hired laborer. She did not think much, clicked her tongue, hid her father, and dropped out of school to follow Binh.

Three days, he did not see the son of Mr. Man as someone who lost his soul. Where does it go? With whom? What? Or where did it die in an accident. Where are you baby? I have only one child. The day the mother gives birth is also the day the child is orphaned. In front of the mother’s grave, I promised to stay there to raise my children … I have grown up, but my instinct tells me that I am not yet wise … One year, two years, three years … waiting for me, tears are gone. Mr. Man is like a shadow every day. On the occasion of the spring festival, when the New Year comes, when people are gathered together, tears are still flowing out of his eyes. He thought bitterly that, for him, with his house, there might never be spring.

He had intended to place the altar to worship it, but he thought he knew how to make it in detail, it couldn’t be helped.

Sam was introduced to another friend by Binh. This guy introduced Germ to his big brother. After watching his face, looking at his physical strength, that singer accepted Mam as a ten thousand.

The trips of smuggling goods from the other side of the border are both arduous and arduous and very adventurous and risky. Not only evading the strict supervision and inspection of the Border Guard, the Market Control force, but also have to deal with the thieves and robbers in border areas. However, it was more interesting to Sam, and more excited, he made quite a bit of money. With a lot of money, she was satisfied with her hobbies, alcohol, gambling. When she was a teenager, she added a game of fun with the children, increasing her excitement.

During a run and chase of the Border Guards, Mam used a support tool to fight back fiercely. In the end, Mam was knocked down and had to pay the price for the crime with a three-year prison sentence.

Phuc Xuan Street, the area in charge of Vuong, is an average neighborhood in terms of both area and population. Yet, there was a time when Phuc Xuan became a “hot spot” of the city. Drugs, theft, gambling are sneaky, fighting at each other, hiring and hiring, causing disorder and security publicity and often. Ward police have had many plans to restore order.

The best option, proposed by Captain Vuong, Phuc Xuan Street Area Police to Lieutenant Colonel Khang, the ward police chief, is to touch the subjects from their own families, to do so must be closely coordinated. close to political organizations of the neighborhood, such as Branches, Fronts, Women, Youth Union, and Veterans.

For many days, Vuong and Uncle Sanh, the Head of the Residential Division, Uncle Nam, the Secretary of the Street City, together review and classify the subjects, then go down the area, go into each house, from campaigning, to persuading. , combining both flexibility and toughness. Gradually order and security were positive.

Outstanding cases such as drugs, theft, gambling, rental debt collection, are gradually decreasing. With the subjects returning to their localities from prison, Vuong always closely followed and helped them mentally, stabilized their thoughts, mobilized the streets to create favorable conditions for them to do business, have income, and have no time. idle time to play bawdy and lame.

With Mầm, it is almost an exception. She wanted to keep her past hidden, even from her biological father. At first, Vuong intended to take the case of Mam to the street, for everyone to supervise. After many nights of thinking and consulting with Lieutenant Colonel Khang, Vuong finally decided to respect Mam’s opinions and aspirations, because Vuong thinks that people still think about their “dignity” when they think about their “dignity”.

In the early days, Mam once asked Vuong:

– Out of prison, no job, what do you know to do to live here?

To tell Vuong, that question of Mam was difficult. Know which job he is suitable for? Is it possible to make a supplement? How about loading and unloading? That day, Vuong abandoned the question without answering Mam. But a few days later, when consulting with the leader of the street group, he met Sam:

– Can you ride a motorbike taxi?

Concerned for a moment, then said:

– Yes! I can do it.

Vuong again said:

– The environment is complicated. Easy to stumble …

Vuong didn’t finish speaking, and Mam hurriedly said:

– Believe me.

– Yes! I believe you.

Vuong kept a close watch on him, and in addition to himself, Vuong asked many people to quietly observe him. Of course, for a year, Vuong never heard anyone complaining about Mam. Even the hands of “brothers and sisters” in the motorbike parking lot also said: “It does not fight, robs customers, does not force or threatens to make money, it even gives customers to us”. Once again, by chance Vuong met Mam in Ho May Xay. Seeing his expression getting better, Vuong asked:

– What’s that pho?

She boasted cheerfully:

– Today I drove two Western kids to Tam Coc, I worked as a tour guide.

Vuong was surprised:

– You know English?

– Yes! From the day I got back, I taught myself online, my hometown is a tourist destination, so English is very important. Now I work as a guide, Tay loves it, it gives me an extra 50 dollars.

Once, Vuong saw that a couple was very luxurious, took a car to the ward police office to meet him to ask about Mam. At first, Vuong was a bit hesitant, or was it that Mam was causing something. But all of Vuong’s concerns were immediately answered. It turned out that the couple came to find Mam’s house to thank and give thanks.

Not that that afternoon, on the bus ride, by accident, Mam discovered a student lying on the side of the road. Thought it was sunny, the boy came home from school and rested under a tree, and she had been driving for a long time, but it seemed like her instinct told him something was wrong. Germ immediately turned the car back. The boy lay unconscious, breathing heavily, and his skin was pale. The boy had a crush, and without hesitation, she asked someone to stop watching, picked him up, hugged him behind, and drove to the nearby clinic.

Then Mam stayed there, waiting for the boy to be resuscitated. When the boy’s parents go to Mam. The couple told Vuong that at first they were so frantic that they did not know who Mam was, and did not know that Mam was the one who took their children to the infirmary. Only after regaining consciousness, the nurses here said again, they knew it was a motorbike taxi driver. When they searched and asked for a long time, they found out that the person with the motorcycle’s name was Mam in Phuc Xuan street.

In mind, Vuong was very happy. Germ has escaped the darkness. He is slowly rebuilding his life step by step. But at no time Vuong is subjective, he is still every day every week, observing, caring about Sam as if he cared about a brother of his own.

Vuong realizes that, Mum gives up all the pleasures and pleasures that lead to the most extreme years of a person’s life. She told her father to buy a motorbike to practice motorbike taxi. Actually, Mam has made progress. He did not associate with bad guys, did not fight and undermined the security of the residential area. No one complained of people in the street, reflecting any negative of Mam.

*

At this time, after the fire on Phuc Xuan street, in the hospital watching the doctors treat the burns on her body, Vuong saw that she sometimes twitched, her limbs twitching, probably because of too much pain. . After more than an hour, the wound was bandaged. Vuong and some villagers in Phuc Xuan street took Mam to the patient’s room. Lying on a stretcher, Mam quietly asked Vuong:

– Is the baby burned?

Vuong told Mam to rest assured, she did not build anything. Hearing that, a smile suddenly appeared on Mam’s thick, dry lips. Happy and satisfied smile. As for Vuong, when looking at that smile, he suddenly realized that spring seemed to be returning to Mam. A happy ending for the Mam family and the whole society. The re-education camp has been the land to successfully bend a tree for life.

As noted by the World Health Organization, tobacco is the main cause of deaths worldwide, and is the leading cause of disease that can actually be prevented. Every year, tobacco lives nearly 8 million people around the world, including more than 5 million who have been and are smoking, 1 million of them innocent – they are passive smokers.

Prof. Luong Ngoc Khue (Director General of The Medical Examination and Treatment Management Department, Ministry of Health, as well as Director of the Tobacco Harm Prevention Fund) shared that Vietnam has 33 million people who do not smoke but regularly inhale smoke at home and more than 5 million non-smoking adults regularly inhale smoke in the workplace. These figures are enough to show how dangerous the horrific harm of passive smoking is.

The percentage of patients with lung cancer who smoke is 96.8%. Diseases and premature death from tobacco use account for 12% of the total burden of disease in Vietnam.

Tobacco is the main cause of deaths worldwide, and is the leading cause of disease that can actually be prevented.

Diseases directly caused by tobacco use such as stroke, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer are the leading causes of death in both men and women. Tobacco causes 25 different diseases but in general, tobacco causes 90% of lung cancer cases, 75% of chronic obstructive pulmonary cases and 25% of isotonic heart disease cases.

Speaking about the harmful effects of tobacco, Former Minister of Health Nguyen Thi Kim Tien cited that 90% of the more than 600,000 people with lung cancer annually in the world are smokers. Smoking is also the cause of 75% of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.

Obviously, smoking is very harmful to health. But it is worth mentioning here that smoking not only harms the person who directly smokes, but is also dangerous for those who do not smoke but accidentally have to inhale the smoke released by others. In particular, there are cases where the victims are extremely tragic women and children. They may be wives, children of smokers so that when the heartbreak happens, the husband, the father, even regrets, can not be saved.

Children who inhale tobacco smoke (passive smoking) are subjected to

the most severe consequences

According to information from the Tobacco Harm Prevention Fund (Ministry of Health), globally, it is estimated that every year up to 165,000 children die before the age of 5 from lower respiratory tract infections caused by passive smoking.

It is estimated that up to 165,000 children die before the age of 5 from lower respiratory tract infections caused by passive smoking.

Representatives of the Tobacco Harm Prevention Fund said that children who smoke passive cigarettes are at risk of developing asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis, respiratory infections … In addition, children who inhale second-line smoke may suffer health consequences in adulthood such as an increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease due to frequent lower respiratory tract infections. Babies exposed to toxins in smoke from the time they are in the womb will experience delayed development of lung function.

Ass. Dr. Nguyen Tien Dung (former Head of Pediatrics Department, Hospital Bach Mai) added that there is a fact that children admitted to hospital due to respiratory diseases with parents smoking cigarettes are much higher than children whose parents do not have this behavior.

“Young children are the most affected when there are smokers in the house.”, the expert asserts.

He voiced a profound warning to children with parents who smoke cigarettes the increased risk of sudden infant death, an increased risk of children with acute asthma and asthma. When you smoke, your smoking smoke increases the risk of asthma exacerbated, increasing the risk of chronic otitis in children. If you smoke, that risk doubles. If both parents smoke together, the risk increases even more.

Pregnant women who inhale tobacco smoke face a range of risks

Tobacco smoke contains up to 7,000 types of chemicals. Among these, there are more than 70 types of chemicals that are toxic to humans, leading to cancers, with typical ingredients such as nicotine, carbon monoxide, cyanide, lead … If the mother actively or actively inhales tobacco smoke, these toxic substances can follow the blood and transmit it to the fetus.

For pregnant women, passive smoking can cause still life and miscarriage. When pregnant women inhale tobacco smoke, nicotine and other toxic substances will pass through the lungs into your bloodstream and go directly to the baby. This can cause risks such as fetal developmental delay, increased risk of premature birth, causing brain and lung damage to the fetus, increasing the risk of still life…

It is worth mentioning that pregnant women often have weaker-than-normal resistance. Whether accidentally or intentionally exposed to tobacco smoke causes serious effects on the mother and fetus, which can lead to thyroid problems, premature amniotic rupture.

Therefore, preventing the effects of tobacco smoke on pregnant mothers is necessary to protect the health of both the mother and the fetus. Pregnant women should avoid going to crowded places as well as family members also actively eliminate smoke when there are pregnant women.
