Salt: more adverse effects

Salt: more adverse effects

In a healthy person ratio consumed and excreted salt is a key mechanism for the regulation of extracellular volume. Thus, while reducing average daily salt intake from 10 to 5 g of mass loss due to reduction of extracellular volume is 1,0 - 1,5 kg. In pathology, accompanied by edema (heart failure, cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome, etc.), the severity of the latter can be in varying degrees, regulate by limiting salt intake. This simple therapeutic method doctors often overlook. It turned out that the intake of salt is more correlated with the incidence of stroke than high blood pressure (BP). The exact mechanisms of this phenomenon is unknown, but it is shown that restriction of salt intake leads to a decrease in the density of the artery walls. Obtained data showing a definite relationship of cardiovascular disease and gastric cancer. The common factor in this case can serve as salt intake. Moreover, we show that salt contributes to the emergence and progression of left ventricular hypertrophy to a greater extent than the increase in blood pressure. In contrast, restriction of salt intake leads to regression of this pathology. Excessive salt intake contributes to the speedy development of decompensation of renal function in patients with kidney disease. Interesting evidence that restricting salt intake by patients with bronchial asthma, reduces mortality from this disease, softens his expression, reduces the need to use bronchodilators. The basis of this effect is the impact of salt on the smooth muscle not only arterial but also the bronchial wall. Found another very important relationship: the higher the salt intake, the more calcium excreted in the urine. It also increases the concentration of parathyroid hormone in the blood and excretion of hydroxyproline, indicating that the mobilization of calcium from bones. The study, which included postmenopausal women, found a decrease of bone density of the femoral neck among patients whose daily salt intake exceeded 90 mmol (1 g = 16 mmol). Currently, in most Western countries, the recommended intake of salt is 5 g / day. However, the implementation of these recommendations is resisted by the manufacturers of ready food products. And yet, these products are a major source of salt consumed by the population. Source: Adapted from Antonios TFT, MacGregor GA. Salt - more adverse effects. Lancet 1996; 348:25.

Body mass index

Body mass index

Body mass index - a highly sensitive indicator of compliance with food energy needs of the organism. In the absence of such compliance as a result of excessive or insufficient food intake comes obesity or emaciation, that in both cases is a serious health disorder. The same effect can occur at low or high physical activity without corresponding changes in the energy potential of the diet. In such situations, the previously normal diet or becoming overweight, or underweight with all the ensuing consequences. In this regard every human being, he is predisposed to obesity or not, should systematically control their weight, know its optimum performance. Must be weighed in the morning, after using the toilet, an empty stomach, with no clothes or in the same light clothing. For this purpose, suitable scales. Weighing results are compared with the ideal or recommended maximum permissible norm. Ideal norm is a person's weight in 25-30 years. In those years, ending physical development, and if by that time there was any wrongdoing in the diet, or serious illness, the mass of the human body is the most appropriate standard for comparison in future. Most avtoritetnyeuchenye in food hygiene believe that a healthy lifestyle massamozhet (or rather, should) continue to age 60 without any changes. The recommended body weight for men and women aged 25-30 years is shown in table number 1. There are some simple ways to samoorientatsii. The greatest recognition and dissemination has refined the formula Brock, which is calculated according to a normal body weight when normosthenic chest: M = growth - 100 with an increase up to 165 cm M = growth-105 with an increase in 166-175 cm M = growth-110 with an increase of more than 175 cm with a narrow chest (asthenic body type) is considered the norm reduction thus obtained values ??up to 10%, with wide (hypersthenics) - corresponding to its increase (but not more than 10%). Use of this recommendation allows for some deviations from the values ??of ideal body weight. For example, at height 175 cm for normostenikov it will be 175-105 = 70 kg, for asthenics - 63 kg (- 10%), and for hypersthenics 77 kg (+10%). The same values ??as defined in Table 1, up to normostenikov 71.7 kg (the difference at 1.7 kg), asthenics 65.3 (difference at 2.3 kg), hypersthenics 77.8 kg (the difference in 0.8 kg). The recommended body weight for men and women aged 25-30 years,

Pregnancy and childbirth behind! What's next?

Pregnancy and childbirth behind! What's next?

The family was born babe-a happiness that is not comparable to anything else. You were waiting for him, read books on pregnancy and childbirth, regularly attending antenatal clinics and fulfilled all the prescriptions of the doctor-in short, doing all that is necessary for your unborn baby. And then, finally, the baby was born. Greeting sms fly from all directions, mobile phones, reported the happy-digit 3100.51sm. And then suddenly appeared the first emotion: For some reason the child is not brought to feed, and if brought, the baby does not take the breast. The first question to the pediatrician: why? What's the baby? Why others are fed, and I still do not. Often in response to hear a little understandable words: immaturity, birth stress, hypoxia, at least get an explanation of what to do. And then you find yourself at home. One on one. And all that is written in books is not quite true or not true. Child little sleep and lots of screaming, bad takes the breast. He has a bad chair, and frequent regurgitation. Questions whether enough milk and when it is necessary to provide supplementary feeding, how to select feeds, and what has caused the emergence of diathesis occur in virtually all new mothers. And of course, countless tips girlfriends and grandmothers after each sleepless nights, tears of ignorance and helplessness, rather typical pattern. But is there a different? Yes, all the rarer and rarer. If your child behaves the way I described, if the diagnosis of fetal hypoxia rang while you were pregnant, a neurologist at the first visit clinics diagnosed posthypoxic entsefelopatii, do not rush to buy diakarb and medicine with citral. Think about whether you want to give birth to a child medication, and if a child appeared in 2-3 months diathesis and with the birth of a bad chair - not necessarily to treat him Claritin and zaditenom. Think about the quality of their milk, about what you eat and whether you have it. Or better treat dysbiosis expectant mother, and not to treat dysbiosis child endless courses of bifidum-bacterinum. All this not only possible but necessary. After correctly chosen food of the mother during breastfeeding, taking into account its individual characteristics, time treated dysbacteriosis expectant mother, as well as determining the level of tissue hypoxia and the degree of immaturity of your baby using simple analysis - it is the prevention of many problems the first year of life. And the path does not scare you words such as immaturity and hypoxia. This is just a state associated with a deteriorating environment and the level of health of the expectant mother fortunately, fairly easy to correct. Several complexes of vitamins, appointed in certain periods of life, allow a few days to turn the barometer called "your baby's health" with a mark of "cloudy" to mark "clear." Thousands of mothers are already familiar with this technique. They see the results and happy to share their experiences with other parents of the same "problem" children.

Crushed walnuts grind with a decoction of nettles (1 / 4 cup of broth at 25 g nuts) and garlic (to taste). Mix everything, add lemon juice or vinegar, sour cream. Another variety of salads with nettles has a different basis, they nettle is additive. As the basis of these salads are used vegetables - cabbage, carrots, cucumbers. 1.
