Yin and Yang in the diet what was missing

Yin and Yang in the diet what was missing

|

Yin under the name of “ natural medicine ” hide a number of therapies and pseudosciences more varied, and the reader I have by an Orthodox of medical science, closed to any other idea, quite the opposite. Phytotherapy (herbal use) has been the basis of Pharmacology and plants such as the Cup or digital from which Digitalis is extracted are so powerful and effective as the modern drugs against tachycardia, is more for a long time the only treatment that had. Traditional Chinese medicine uses acupuncture to stimulate the network of “ meridians ”, that today we know that they correspond with the nervous system, etc. etc.

Well, one thing is science and pseudoscience is another thing. Science is that food (and all organic matter) consists of four large groups of molecules: carbohydrates (or sugar), lipids (or FAT), proteins and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). Pseudoscience is that foods are divided into hot and cold according to the theory of yin and the yan. Worse yet, is pre-scientific, inaccurate and furthermore leads to confusion. No doubt increasingly think it need to be a bit of self-regulation in the blogs, especially if it’s health and nutrition topics. see the reason of because it makes no sense this

teoría:

there are a number of Yin foods containing cold energy and contrarestra effect Yang: vegetables, vegetables, juices of fruit, milk, yogurt, products sugary among others.

Also, Yang foods provide energy hot or warm and contrarestan to the first: thus works to achieve the balance. Meat, fish, eggs, spicy spices, nuts, seeds and grains, e.g.

Aside as of “ contain energy ” (is by all known matter is energy, E = mc2), speaking of example the egg, according to this theory, would be a hot food, which offset the cold, and the yogurt would instead be cold. By coincidence that both are of animal origin, rich in protein, and cholesterol or fats, i.e. no differences “ existential ”, and not to mention already that in a State of depression or sadness has to take food “ hot ”, where it is well known that a little bit of chocolate (food cold) may be a good stimulant for our brainlike other products sugary.

Anyway, the problem comes when you use reference source a portal on alchemy, and no Pubmed or Medlina.

Previously on your health: enamel erosion and acidic beverages (I)

Enamel we have already mentioned the damage that the phosphoric acid causes in our teeth, but acidic beverages sugar also plays an important role, in erode the enamel. When the dental plaque of our teeth absorbs sugar foods and meals, secrete acids that are eaten enamel.

“ If you are taking sugary foods, the acidity of the dental plaque will enhance precipitously ”

people also sometimes the situation deteriorates with juice concentrates and drinks cold, mantendiendolos to enjoy the refreshing taste exposed their teeth to sugar and acidic beverages.

“ Causes more damage when you take a large amount of drink and also her keep the mouth to enjoy its flavor ”

Other factors also contribute to the erosion of tooth, including medications such as aspirin, as well as diseases such as acid reflux or disordered eating, where there is vomiting chronic that exponent to the tooth to the harmful acids gastric.

Researchers believe that the increase of enamel erosion is also related to not take enough fluoride to be many people disregard the public water fluoridated in benefit of bottled water, which does not contain fluorine, as well as soft drinks and fruit juices.

“ The fluor help strengthen enamel and erosion attacks him, I don’t understand why people avoid public water with fluoride and then use Paste teeth or mouthwash with fluor ”

And we can not forget that until that has happened half an hour later take drinks with sodas or juices not should be cleaned their teeth, because it will be even more damaging enamel.

“ To the brushing removes microscopic layer of enamel which could recover with your saliva minerals. There is an equilibrium constant in our mouth and saliva is our first line of Defense. If someone has a good saliva, can help to repair the damage ”

Acupuncture for chronic back pain

Acupuncture for chronic back pain

|

Acupuncture according to a recent study conducted by the Group of the Centre of health for health studies in Seattle, any type of acupuncture, passing or not through the skin, help to treat the chronic back pain in adult patients. Surprising this study has not resided in discovering their analgesic characteristics, but acupuncture not through the skin is as effective as the traditional acupuncture.

Is known back pain is a chronic problem of modern health in the societies and is the main cause for which patients come to acupuncture when traditional medical therapies aren’t effective. Already existed previous studies in which acupuncture showed as a viable option, but its reliability had been placed in discussion. this study instead explored more than 600 adults with chronic pain of back with 4 different therapies: acupuncture individualized, standardized, the simulated (or not penetrating) and traditional acupuncture. In the Sham acupuncture group practitioners used dental sticks in tubes (to hide them from view) and stimulated traditional pressure points without crossing the skin

once made 10 sessions for 7 weeks, patients felt an improvement in their symptoms, remain the same in the four treatments. In turn, decreased the need for these use medication that year and the next, because almost 2/3 of these were taking medication, such as analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (such as ibuprofen).

As we have already mentioned, the surprise has been that Sham acupuncture would give the same results, seem to apply to the treatment would not be necessary to pass through the skin nor use needle. by who?, the question remains unanswered and brings more doubts about the mechanism of action of acupuncture. Is possible that the acupuncture “ surface ” also stimulates a series of physiological processes that result in analgesia, although also it might be a case of placebo.

“ They can stimulate pressure points, with needles, electricity, even with laser light at different frequencies. Pressing these points is one of the characteristics of the Japanese art of stimulation, especially for persons age or weak constitution. This could be explained as two different methods have the same effect ”

researchers underline that not knowing which is a mechanism of action, does not mean that no works, provided that it has shown that it actually works.

Loss of vision some foods might avoid it

Loss of vision some foods might avoid it

Loss A new study suggests that adults of age with diets rich in citrus fruits, green leaves and oil of fish, but of low glycaemic index, could reduce the risk of suffering the loss of common vision due to age, i.e., macular degeneration, the leading cause in the U.S. suffer loss of vision.

This degeneration slowly damages the macula, the part of the retina of the eye where it “ reflect ” the images and affects more than 1 million Americans, especially from the age of 65. A series of studies which have been studied more than 4000 people suggest that nutrients such as the antioxidant luteínicios, vitamin C and vitamin E may protect against this degeneration. researchers have discovered that patients who tended to take fish rich in fatty acids omega 3 or food with vitamin C, E, zinc, lutein or carotenes, had lower risk for this loss of vision. Both the lutein and the carotenes are vegetable pigments act as antioxidentes, and found in foods such as broccoli, spinach and other green leafy vegetables and eggs.

The level of blood sugar is associated with the Index Glycemic (IG) of food, which may eventually increase the damage to the macula. Foods of high GI foods such as bread and potatoes, while the IG would lentils, vegetables, yogurt and high fiber foods that prevent sugar to increase “ coup ” in the blood.

This is due to excess sugar interacts with other molecules, such as fats and proteins, to create radical free, which can damage cells and cause various diseases as degeneration macular. That is why that antioxidants could be so effective in systems already something damaged by the passage of time.

We must concentrate the greater part of carbohydrates of the day in the morning (and avoid fats, cheeses and whole milk), but if possible, we should avoid to make them simple sugars, it is better to take a fresh juice and some natural Compote with toast, than a coffee with much sugar and jam.
