Fragile X syndrome

Fragile X syndrome

|

Fragile the Fragile X syndrome or Martin and Bell is a disease of congenital origin that produces retarded, being the second leading cause of mental retardation. The cause lies in the FMR1 gene, which is a mutation that inhibits the expression of this gene, turning it off.

people who suffer from this syndrome show a phenotype (i.e., an expression of the genetic defects) very characteristic:

* long face

* prominent front

* pronounced Chin

* Otoplasty

* large testes

these features add other pathologies as:

* mental retardation

* lax skin

* hyperactivity and attention problems

* flutter with arms

* limited eye contact

* joints hiperlaxas or hiperelásticas

transmission

to be a disease X-linked, men have a single pair always develop the disease, while women must possess this gene by double heading, which decreases the risk of this syndrome female, which usually tends to be the transmitter of disease. It is due to their genetic origin prenatal diagnosis is of great importance, namely the amniocentesis or even pre-implantacional diagnosis can prevent these mutations in the event that has previously been in a family or known carrier one of the people of the couple.

Hidden food sugar (II)

Hidden food sugar (II)

|

Hidden look at some examples of foods with hidden sugar we eat during the day without noticing (eroski data):

breakfast:

* 3 (20 g); 6,86 g sugar chocolate biscuits * 1 magdalena (60 g), 11, 5 g of sugar

mid-morning * 1 mini Croissant (40 g), 3 g sugar food

* 2 slices of pineapple in syrup (100 gr); 15.8 g of sugar

snack

* 1 can of coca-cola (339 ml); 32 g sugar * 2 healdo (100gr); 21 g sugar balls

dinner

* 2 tablespoons of sauce barbecue; 1.45 g sugar * 1 yogurt with fruit; 18.5 g sugar * 3 ounces white chocolate; 11,28 gr of sugar

TOTAL: 121,39 gr of sugar, i.e. 27 sugar lumps and without milk, or the spoonful of sugar to coffee, which would be another lump more roughly.

Council: is inevitable to have sugar, not only because it is a biological necessity and our evolution has set to fire in our brain and impulses; but because as we have shown there are sugars in almost all foods that take what to do? avoid industrial pastry wherever possible, is the more hidden sugar also has the syrup, it is much healthier to take a peach, therefore; more food not be processed, i.e. replaced the cereals with the muesli.

Alternative meals can be effective?

Alternative meals can be effective?

|

Alternative reaches the operation bikini, and as usual diets miracle multiply, as well as another series of remedies or products, even for sale in pharmacy, are really ineffective (and no other could be dangerous) and even desperate. In another post, we will analyse the effectiveness of the “ quemagrasas ” and “ debuggers ”, but let’s start with something easier, do serve something alternative meals?

These products tend to be rich in fiber and sweet taste (when not chocolate), take them between meals or to replace the lunch and snack, to be little content caloric. but they are satiating? can help perform a diet? the Spanish Association of Dietistas-Nutricionistas (AEDN) in a 2008 report and endorsed it: * they offer the same feeling of satiety than any food, but with fewer calories and more fiber.

* Immediately to take them, the desire to take a salty, sweet, tasty and fatty food declined more than with other foods

* in a balanced diet, can help to lose weight in a way as safe and effective than a conventional diet prepared for this purpose

No doubt is last assertion may be the most shocking or debatable, but the AEDN moved to any controversy, must be made more studies to determine its effectiveness and establish definitive conclusions, although already abundant clinical studies that emphasize their efficacy and safety in the loss of weight, as well as in the maintenance of the same.

Poor carbohydrate diets to lose weight

Poor carbohydrate diets to lose weight

|

Poor normally on a diet to lose weight is recommended to remove fat and reduce sugar as possible, moreover, among the fitness enthusiasts are hiperproteícas, poor diets, not to mention lacking in lipids (fats) and carbohydrates (sugars).

Recommended is that, from our diet, 50-55% of the energy come from carbohydrates, so if we make a diet poor in these 20-35%, our glycogen (the way in which we gather sugar) will end quickly. But to make glycogen in sugar that our brain can be used, it must “ burn ” in a process that we will lead inter alia to urinate much (glycogen accumulates with plenty of water, unlike the fat, who has barely). The loss of glycogen and urine causes therefore a loss of weight. If the diet too drags on, the Agency will create ketone bodies (as we have already explained earlier) so that the brain can survive.

Is true that this causes weight loss, cancel the appetite and eat fats, but nothing it is beneficial to health and that also cost us maintain this weight. Dietas-Nutricionistas Spanish Association He has evaluated several clinical trials in this regard, where carbohydrates were reduced to a minimum. You could Verify that these people who followed a low carbohydrate diet lost more weight during the first six months, that those who followed a calorie diet very low in fat. This difference however ceased to be significant to 12 months of the diet, so one could conclude that it is a useful method to lose weight in the short term, but not so for those who suffer from kidney disorders, high cholesterol, diabetes and osteoporosis.

Antioxidants not always so beneficial

Antioxidants not always so beneficial

Antioxidants the exercise helps to increase the sensitivity of insulin which is the cause of diabetes, but taking antioxidant supplements like vitamin C and E would disappear the benefits according to latest research.

Though we blame radicals accelerate aging and damage our cells, also is well known that exercise increases insulin sensitivity through free radicals that are created to do exercise. Apparently the muscle being stressed by exercise, free radicals free, vitamin C and E block. To block this effect, the benefits of the exercise to avoid diabetes would disappear according to the online magazine of Procedures of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States.

39 Young men, which about half were given vitamin C and E supplements, were studied. It was this group that showed no Studio no change in the resistance to insulin, while those who did not take them considerably increased resistance, but a month after you stop taking the supplements the sensitivity was restored to the same levels as the previous group.

“ if you are doing exercise to reduce the risk of diabetes, you should not take vitamin C and E, because you could be blocking some of the beneficial effects to prevent diabetes ” Dr. David l. Katz, director of the Center for preventive research at Yale University School of medicine

according to this researcher this study increases doubts about the benefits of taking antioxidant supplements, but not on the vitamins that people take on a regular basis through food.

“ Have believed that supplements of antioxidants, like vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene and more recently lycopeno and another, could prevent diseases as the common cancer cold, from the heart of diabetes problems. But today, virtually all the evidence points to opposite ” Dr. David l. Katz, director of the Center for preventive research at Yale University School of medicine
