Modern Health Therapy

In addition to versatile and delicious, this small fruit has shown its qualities to stop the onslaught of harmful bacteria and circulatory disease, which is why nutrition experts recommend that part of our diet.

It is very likely to have encountered them in the supermarket and they are not taken the slightest appreciation, which is justifiable because few people know its existence. Perhaps you have tried in a salad, or as part of a dessert of nuts and not been repaired even in its name. We speak of cranberry fruit is now “fashionable” because of its nutritional attributes, which directly affect the health of our body.

This berry red or blue-black is native to Asia and Europe, and can be seen in the wild on roadsides. It grows in wetlands and in some cases can be found at 1,500 meters altitude. In recent years, the cranberry was first cultivated in an organized fashion in many parts of the world, including Argentina, New Zealand, Australia, Spain, France and Holland, among others. However, international kings are the United States and Canada, covering 90% of total production. (more…)

Summer and spring are two most awaited seasons. Maybe you have been waiting for summer because you have a plan with some friends. Even though these seasons are comfortable enough and full of joyful, sometimes you cannot predict what would happen. During this time, the plants grow a lot and their pollen spreads easily in the air. For some people who do not have allergies over this component, it is not a big problem; but it is different with those who have allergies.

Pollen may cause a body disorder called hay fever. Mostly, the medical world knows it as seasonal allergies. In the UK area, there are about 15 million people suffer hay fever each year. The fever happens when your internal immune system detects pollen as harmful substance or virus and it begins to produce antibodies called histamine that affects your tissue surface. After that, certain symptoms such as sneezing and runny nose begin to appear.

Even though it does not give you a major impact, hay fever can slow your productivity. So, in order to reduce this allergy effect, you have to take medication such as the one from Benadryl. Besides medication, you can also have prevention over the allergy by installing an air purifier to filter any pollen from your house. This way, you can minimize your chance of having hay fever.

The methods for treating hyperhidrosis are manifold, ranging from chemicals to surgery:

Aluminum chloride. Present in nearly all deodorants on the market for its astringent effect that causes the skin to dry. Its pharmacologically (when used for drug development) is stronger and is applied directly to the area to be treated should be covered with polyethylene film (it is recommended to apply before bedtime) to withdraw in the morning; often irritating, it is suggested to take place a light application of the product in any part of the arm (sensitization test) to see if your skin can handle it.

Iontophoresis. Using special equipment is pre-treated drug entering the body part, using electric current, the intention is to nullify the action of the sweat glands. The initial period provided for between 10 and 20 sessions, and two more maintenance. (more…)

The main purpose of sweating is to regulate body temperature, but when it becomes excessive, which is known as hyperhidrosis, can be uncomfortable, but also harmful to health. What can you do?

Everyone knows that the human body requires water for virtually all tasks, is to expand the idea think that in a newborn 90% of total body mass is liquid, a percentage that is declining into adulthood , which reaches 30%.

Renew daily amount of water required to drink a certain extent (ideally, be at least 2 liters), and the throw out urine and sweat. Through the latter excrete about half a liter of water per day, an effect known as transpiration, which occurs even when not practice exercise, it is clear that to do this last or when the temperature rises, the loss is greater.

It is advisable to take antibiotics with calcium supplements

It was also found that calcium, taken as supplements or as part of the mineral-rich foods inhibits iron absorption if both are ingested together. It is for this reason that in case of anemia, we recommend consuming the iron supplement on an empty stomach and not during breakfast if they drink milk or derivatives.

Orange juice

Orange juice is a food rich in vitamin C, a nutrient that increases the absorption of iron supplements for medical treatment of anemia, such as ferrous sulfate. The objective is to jointly take iron with vitamin C rich foods, which may well be fasting orange juice, kiwi, tangerines or water with lemon juice. This ensures that the body’s iron stores are replenished faster. (more…)

In the second case, we have especially the interaction of alcohol (and, therefore, of all alcoholic drinks) with many drugs, especially with most of those that act on the nervous system, in fact, the alcohol interacts with a large part of the prescription medications (analgesics, anticoagulants, antihypertensives, antihistamines …).

We must also mention the effect of simultaneous ingestion of food and medicine, to modify its absorption and, consequently, their action. Stresses in this regard, the milk and dairy products, which reduce the absorption of certain antibiotics (tetracycline), which is a sample of milk to prevent gastrointestinal irritation due to some drugs, is not always appropriate.

In other cases there are foods that increase the absorption of drugs to levels that can be harmful, although the latter is less common. (more…)

Drug-food interaction is little known and disclosed. This arises because it is generally believed that, when food products are consumed daily, it is unlikely to influence the effects of drugs, but…

Certain medications should be taken only with water, others should never be mixed with milk or dairy products, some have to be ingested with food and it is even better to take other fasting or on an empty stomach.

Should carefully follow the prospectus, as it can alter or even eliminate the effectiveness of the medication as to what foods or drinks with you. (more…)

The free radical is an atom of O2 (oxygen) with 7 electrons (stable oxygen atom has 8 electrons and becomes unstable when it loses 1 electron), lacking the electron, is borrowed from the cell membrane and thus produces a radical more open giving rise to a chain reaction.
This chain reaction is combated with the action of antioxidants, which neutralize oxygen atoms.

For neutralization, there are endogenous and exogenous antioxidants:
- The are endogenous enzymes (proteins) with antioxidant capacity not consumed by reacting with free radicals and are dependent on their cofactors such as copper, iron, zinc, magnesium and selenium.
- The exogenous from the diet, unlike the enzymes are consumed by reacting with free radicals, and must be replaced. (more…)

Free radicals are highly reactive molecules, and the consequence of these reactions produces a disruption in the cell membranes of our body. This disorder is lethal to the cell.

They are produced in most body cells through the cell’s own metabolism and also by the action of toxic agents.

There are two types of free radicals:

Interns:
very intense exercise,
Stress,
own metabolism. (more…)
