Benefits of evening primrose oil for health Evening primrose oil is being studied is being studied as a way to treat problems related to premature aging, the appearance of acne and eczema, heart disease, children with hyperactivity, symptoms that occur with menopause and help regulate weight, among other conditions. As you can see, evening primrose oil is very beneficial for health, and is widely recommended by herbalists to treat various diseases naturally. Summary of the benefits of evening primrose oil • Evening primrose oil is rich in omega 6 fatty acids, linoleic acid and gamma linolenic acid (GLA) • Omega 6 fatty acids are beneficial to treat PMS, for this reason many women choose to implement the use of evening primrose oil at the time of their period or during menopause. • GLA is essential for the production of certain hormones that regulate many bodily functions such as blood pressure, promoting healthy skin, improving oxygen metabolism, and the reproductive cycle. • Although the body can produce GLA directly into linoleic acid, this is sometimes not efficient, so evening primrose oil may be of benefit. • The fatty acids are important nutrients like vitamins and minerals, but not everyone can be produced by the body and essential fatty acids must be supplied in food or a supplement. • Evening primrose oil is suitable for vegetarians, vegans, and people with Candida and yeast sensitivities. • Relieve joint pain and inflammation from rheumatoid arthritis. It is beneficial for joint pain The use of evening primrose oil and also the use of other sources that provide GLA contribute to reducing joint pain and inflammation. According to studies, in just 6 months, signs of reduction in inflammation caused by rheumatoid arthritis were shown. Prevent nerve damage from diabetes Other research has shown that evening primrose oil may prevent and even reverse damage to the nerves caused by neuropathy, which is a diabetes-related condition. According to this study, the numbness along with the loss of sensation that people with diabetic neuropathy usually present were reduced after the use of evening primrose oil. Reduce symptoms of eczema The eczema or atopic dermatitis may occur if the body has problems with fat GLA. Incorporating evening primrose oil can help to level out the necessary GLA fats that can help treat skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and other similar problems. Evening primrose oil can also help treat other skin problems such as acne. Fight the damage of multiple sclerosis The essential fatty acids present in evening primrose oil can help reduce the inflammation produced by multiple sclerosis. Fatty acids can also contribute to healthy nerve development if consumed constantly (always consult a specialist before following any recommendation).

Description: The human being needs the necessary nutrients so that in this way the human body satisfactorily fulfills all the activities in which it performs. These nutrients can be acquired through foods that contain them or supplements purchased in capsules form stores. The vitamin C, is a water-soluble vitamin, required for normal growth and development of humans. Water-soluble means that it dissolves in water, and leaves the body through urine, which means that a constant supply of it is necessary for a balanced diet. Benefits of vitamin C Vitamin C is necessary for the growth and repair of tissues, ligaments, tendons and blood vessels, repair and maintain bones, proper healing and help the absorption of iron. The human body is unable to produce vitamin C on its own, nor does it store it, so it is extremely important to include many foods that contain it. It is important to note that this vitamin has been the wild card for centuries to treat the famous common cold, but what foods and drinks contain it? We will name them below. Strawberries Strawberries are red fruits that are easy to find in any supermarket, they contain an excessive amount of vitamin C. In addition, they are high in fiber and antioxidants, reduce stress and protect the heart from unwanted cholesterol. A single serving satisfies the body's daily need for vitamin C. Citric fruits All fruits that are citrus have a high content of vitamin C, orange, grapefruit, lemon, mandarin. A glass of orange juice contains 93mg of vitamin C. Although these foods are the ones that are considered to have the most amount of vitamin C and the most acquired by people, they are not the ones that contain the maximum amount of the vitamin. Papaya The milky or papaya, has a high content of vitamin C, a single serving of this fruit satisfies 100% of the daily dose. Paprika You would not have imagined it right? Well yes, paprika is another food that has a great load of vitamin C. Not only that, thanks to the beneficial they are, they have been studied. They have cardio-protective benefits, it has also been shown to prevent ocular cataracts, blood clots and risks of heart attacks or embolisms. Broccoli Raw or cooked, it has a high content of vitamin C, in fact, a single tree has 90mg. It has multiple nutritional and fibrous benefits; it is also widely used for detoxification due to its properties. Tomatoes Have you ever wondered what benefit that divine salad with a lot of tomato brings you? Well, thanks to the information provided below, your salad will look increasingly red. Tomatoes contain a large amount of vitamin C, only a serving of 100 grams contains 100mg of vitamin C, this is equivalent to 170% of our daily requirements. Cauliflower Not all foods that are colorful contain high amounts of vitamin C, cauliflower has large amounts of it. Just one cup of cauliflower contains approximately 46mg of vitamin C, in addition to containing dietary fiber, folate, and lots of vitamin K. Below we will provide two recipes for making juices that have a high content of vitamin C, these will powerfully raise the defenses. Juice number 1 Ingredients: • 3 oranges. • 2 lemons. • 3 tablespoons of honey. Preparation Wash the oranges and lemon perfectly. Extract the juice from the fruits. Empty them into a glass and sweeten with honey. It is important to consume it often in cold seasons, in small sips.

Description: There is a lot of talk lately about the antinutrients in legumes and their benefits and here we tell you which are the myths and which are the truths. Legumes, a food group that includes lentils, chickpeas, beans, peas, beans, beans, lima beans, soybeans, and even peanuts (which are legumes, not nuts as is often thought) have been surrounded by some myths against for many years. Many of these myths have been losing strength, in turn, with the promotion of vegetarian and vegan diets, which require a multitude of plant proteins as an alternative to animal proteins, and these proteins usually come precisely from legumes. Among these myths is its high content of " antinutrients ", substances that prevent the proper absorption of other nutrients necessary for the body, especially minerals. Likewise, legumes have been shown to contain high amounts of substances derived from plants that, in excess, can be toxic to the human body (although, as we already know, all excesses are harmful). As the ancient physician Paracelsus said "Nothing is poison and everything is poison: the difference is in the dose”. Today we will review some of these myths, and also the well-known benefits of legumes for general health, including their high protein content, although their biological value compared to animal proteins is lower because the latter do contain all the essential amino acids and the No vegetable proteins, although they can always be supplemented with the consumption of whole grains. Legume antinutrients and toxicity: myths and misunderstandings To begin with, we know that legumes contain a high number of lectins, a type of protein that depending on the dose can be toxic to the human body, and also phytates or phytic acid, which are known as "antinutrients" due to difficulty in absorbing other nutrients. In fact, paleolithic diets tend to avoid legumes precisely in order to avoid these two components, based on studies such as the one published in the British Journal of Nutrition in 2000, where lectins were linked to inflammatory diseases, or another work published in the BMC Endocrine Disorders in 2005, where lectins were linked to resistance to leptin, one of the hormones related to appetite and whose malfunction increases the risk of obesity. However, these works suffered from a certain lack of data. The truth is that we currently know little about lectins. We know that they are proteins that bind specifically to sugars and that they are found in high amounts in plants (and therefore also in legumes, seeds and nuts). What is known is that excess consumption is toxic to humans, something that also happens with other substances. What we also know is that, if food is cooked with lectins for 10 minutes at 100ºC, these proteins are denatured, that is, they lose their function and therefore their toxicity, as the study published in Methods in Molecular Medicine suggested in 1998. Therefore, fear of excess lectins makes no sense, because our diet today involves cooking legumes during this time and even longer. On the other hand, we have phytic acid, the "antinutrient”, which is also found in legumes, nuts, seeds and plants in general. In fact, legumes would not be the foods with the highest amount of this substance, as nuts also contain it in high amounts. In theory, phytates are capable of binding to minerals (calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium) and preventing their proper intestinal absorption during digestion, as well as hindering the activity of certain proteins at the body level. In their case, these compounds do not lose their function when subjected to high temperatures such as lectins, nor does it seem that the previous soaking of legumes affects them. In the case of phytates, based on what we know so far, there is nothing to do. However, the current diet is able to compensate for this effect. In fact, studies carried out in this regard in individuals with a normal diet have not detected mineral deficiencies even though there were phytates in the diet, which would imply that large amounts of this antinutrient are necessary to have detrimental effects on health, as suggested by the published study in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research in 2009. The problem of phytates would become important in environments where malnutrition rages, and where mineral deficiencies are important: if there are already deficiencies of basic vitamins and minerals, phytates, still in small amounts, can aggravate the problem. The known real benefits of legumes Now that we have made it clear that the "damages" of legumes are not as they told us, let's see what real benefits these foods have, in addition to being a fairly inexpensive food today. On the one hand, in addition to the well-known contribution of vegetable proteins (from 20% of its content in the case of chickpeas, up to 36% in the case of soybeans), legumes have been shown to possess a significant amount of nutrients, such as suggested a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition in 2012, focusing on chickpeas, which contain unsaturated fatty acids, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and especially potassium, in addition to the aforementioned plant proteins. On the other hand, the frequent consumption of legumes has also been shown to improve cardiovascular parameters, especially reducing total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol or "bad cholesterol" (although it is a misnomer), improving HDL cholesterol parameters or "Good cholesterol", and improving blood glucose control, as suggested by several studies, such as another work published in the British Journal of Nutrition also in 2012. Likewise, a large amount of fiber has also been detected along with vegetable proteins in legumes, which enhances satiety and helps keep the risk of obesity at bay, again suggested by several studies published in 2012 in the British Journal of Nutrition. In addition, some later systemic reviews have even linked the consumption of legumes with an improvement in blood pressure, such as the research published in the American Journal of Hypertension in 2013. Finally, some authors have suggested some anticancer potential in these foods, but their conclusions are very preliminary and modest in this regard, so that benefit should not be taken into account at this time. Eating a low-fat, plant-based diet may help give the immune system a boost. The immune system relies on white blood cells that produce antibodies to combat bacteria, viruses, and other invaders. Vegetarians have been shown to have more effective white blood cells when compared to nonvegetarians, due to a high intake of vitamins and low intake of fat. Delta-8 THC Gummies

Description: Although acai, quinoa, chia, or the legendary avocado berries are viewed as all-powerful foods, they do not work miracles by themselves. During the last years, where the already known as Western Diet has dominated in an unstoppable way the countries of the first world or, worth the redundancy, Western countries, there have also been those who have seen the opportunity and taken the opportunity to advertise certain foods as something beyond of the earthly. They are known as "superfoods", those with nutritional properties that almost seem from another planet. Or at least, that's how they are usually advertised by those who earn the most money with them. Taking into account that we live in a society where it is much easier to eat poorly than to eat well, where it is cheaper to buy fast food than to prepare a tasty and healthy dish composed of vegetables, whole grains, quality proteins and healthy fats, the truth is that there are many sides to attack unsuspecting buyers with "superfoods" that are intended to replace others much easier to acquire: whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, olive oil, lean meats, fish ... Today we will talk about a few of These "superfoods", and how it is easier to get their almighty nutritional properties through other more affordable alternatives, both economically and due to geographical proximity. But beware, taking down their misleading advertising does not mean that they are not nutritionally very interesting (quite the opposite), but that they have probably been given excessive publicity. The most popular alleged superfoods under review Here is a review of some of the foods that have been presented the most times as superfoods in recent times. Acai berries The acai berries are a fruit whose nutritional property Most notable is set antioxidants (anthocyanins, polyphenols), and contain vitamins A, C, E, group B and other interesting nutrients such as fiber, fatty acids omega-3, omega -6 and omega-9 and phosphorus, magnesium and potassium. We cannot deny that it is a very interesting food nutritionally, since it can provide benefits at the digestive level (thanks to its antioxidants and fiber), at the cardiovascular level (due to its anti-inflammatory properties), and at the metabolic level. However, like everything in life, nothing is magical. Acai berries are a fairly complete type of fruit, but by itself it is not capable of improving the body if the rest of the diet leaves much to be desired. In addition, they are still relatively difficult to find, and therefore their price shoots up. Regarding its vitamins, kiwi for example has three times as much vitamin C as acai berries; Although it is true that its fiber content is remarkable (almost 9 grams per 100 g of Acai berries), other foods such as nuts (walnuts or hazelnuts) have a similar amount. As we mentioned at the beginning, it is a very interesting food, but not miraculous. Chia seeds Chia seeds are another of the complete foods of the moment, also striking for its exotic origin (Mexico and Guatemala, a bit far from Spain). At the time it stood out among the ancient Aztecs for its nutritional complexity, and in fact, as with Acai berries, it stands out in many ways: antioxidants (flavonoids), B vitamins, calcium, iron, fiber (almost 30 g of fiber for each 100 g of seeds), proteins (23% protein in its composition) and fats such as omega-3s. It seems like another almighty food, and in fact few substances can overshadow it, but again its properties have been exaggerated. Yes, it is true that it is rich in fiber and vegetable proteins, but the satiating capacity of these nutrients that theoretically should give chia seeds sufficient potential to improve the metabolic profile of individuals, and help them lose weight, have not scientifically proven. The slimming power of which these seeds tend to boast is debatable, although it does seem that they can contribute to weight loss if a proper diet is carried out (but not by themselves). Also, although it is not common to consume 100 g of seeds at once, if we go overboard with their consumption it is possible to suffer intestinal discomfort due to its high and concentrated amount of fiber. And, finally, it should be remembered that these seeds have a high caloric density (almost 500 kcal per 100 g), so not all are advantages, and they should not be abused. Quinoa Quinoa, a food known as pseudocereal because of its great resemblance to these, is actually a seed whose origin is also found in South America, specifically in the Andes mountain range. In fact, in this area of the planet, quinoa is a food very well integrated into the typical diet of its inhabitants. As with chia seeds, quinoa stands out for its high content of antioxidants (flavonoids), fiber (15 g per 100 g), vegetable proteins (16 g per 100 g) and omega-3 and omega-6 fats. In addition, it also contains micronutrients such as vitamins B and E, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iron and zinc, reaching almost half or more of the daily needs of these nutrients by consuming only 100 g of this product. Or almost 100% in the case of iron. Quinoa has shown to have multiple benefits at the cardiometabolic level, but it also has some other drawbacks, and its price, although it has been decreasing over the years, is still a bit excessive. As with legumes, quinoa also contains lectins or "antinutrients," as well as saporins (which have been linked to some anticancer potential, but have also been shown to cause gastrointestinal problems in some individuals). For its part, although its high content of vegetable proteins stands out, nuts. They have a similar amount (for every 100 g of nuts or hazelnuts there are between 12 g and 14 g of protein), and even legumes have more (between 20 g and 24 g of protein in chickpeas, beans, peas and lentils). Avocado Avocado is one of the most interesting fruits of the moment, also from Mexico and Central America. Although for years doctors have advised against its consumption, along with coconut, due to its high fat content, little by little this recommendation is falling on deaf ears. Today we know that fat is not the problem, but the bad lifestyle in general. Avocado stands out for its high content of healthy fats, such as oleic acid, omega-3 fats, fiber (2.5 g per 100 g), potassium, magnesium and vitamins B and E, as well as antioxidants of course. Therefore, avocado has shown potential benefits to reduce satiety, improve muscle function and even help improve blood cholesterol (and not the other way around as previously believed). However, as with any food, avocado also has its drawbacks. Currently in our country, although it is already cultivated, it continues to have a high price; Its caloric density must also be taken into account (around 200 kcal for each standard piece), and its protein content is rather low. Yes, it is a very interesting food at a nutritional level, and in fact taking an avocado a day is highly recommended in terms of cholesterol and weight loss (its satiating power leaves no doubt in the studies), but it should not be abused of its consumption, nor should we make the mistake that eating avocado alone will help us. It should be consumed together with a healthy diet in general, because it is not a miracle product. Soy Finally, we have the well-known soy, a multifunctional food especially in vegan individuals. From the soy drink to the now popular textured soybeans, this is a legume with great nutritional value. Soy stands out, as with some of the previous foods, for its high content of antioxidants, vegetable proteins (35 g per 100 g, and up to 50 g if it is textured soy), fiber (22 g per 100 g), fats healthy and micronutrients such as vitamins of group B, vitamins A and E. Likewise, it also stands out for its potassium, calcium and phosphorus content. Therefore, soy stands out along with avocado and other foods rich in healthy fats for its potential to improve cardiovascular risk and its satiating potential. However, soy has its drawbacks. In excess or abuse, the estrogens in soy have been shown to improve the health of women (even improving the symptoms of menopause), but in men it can have a negative effect; It can even cause hormonal alterations in women if there is an excess. While the safety of soy as such seems clear, supplements derived from it are less clear. Therefore, we can lead to the conclusion that both soybeans and the rest of the foods discussed today are very interesting at a nutritional level, nobody doubts that. However, they are not miraculous on their own, nor in the company of others. They can improve the nutritional profile of a good basic diet, but nothing more. Neuropathy can present with many differing symptoms, including numbness, pain of different types, weakness, or loss of balance, depending on the type of nerve involved. Because the autonomic nerves control bodily functions that we do not consciously think of, such as heart rate, digestion, and emptying of the bowel and bladder, autonomic neuropathy manifests with symptoms affecting the loss of control of these functions. Symptoms may include problems with blood pressure, voiding, passage of stools (diarrhea, or constipation), heart rate, or sweating. Nerve Control 911

Description: Who doesn't want hormonal balance, glowing skin, and a perfectly functioning reproductive system? All women would like that and more, and eating certain nutrient-dense foods helps balance hormones. Like it or not, hormones control our mood, digestion, energy, libido, metabolism, and how our skin looks. If we do not eat food with the nutrients we need, our body cannot produce hormones properly or maintain hormonal balance, since it does not have the basic elements to do so. What you are eating is either helping hormone production or causing unpredictable imbalances. The human body needs a balance of all three macronutrients, carbohydrates, proteins, and especially fat. The fat is one of the most important elements in hormonal balance. For years, we have been told that fat free is good, while cholesterol and saturated fat are bad. This is a dangerous lie. Healthy fat is the raw material we need to produce and maintain proper hormonal function. Here's why: Hormones are produced using certain fatty acids and cholesterol, so if we're lacking in these nutrients, hormonal problems arise simply because the body doesn't have the nutrients it needs to make them. Our body needs certain fats for the reconstruction of cells and the stabilization of hormones. This is especially important for the female reproductive system. Foods to balance hormones Basing your meals on clean protein, healthy fats for hormonal balance, antioxidant-rich vegetables, and healing herbs will help your body thrive. Choose a food from each category for an easy meal to balance your hormones and clean your skin. 1. Clean protein • Soaked or sprouted nuts • Beans • Seeds • Quinoa • Lentils If you are not a vegetarian, try to incorporate the egg and meat (red and white meat, chicken and fish) from free range animals, that is, organic. 2. Healthy fats for hormonal balance The coconut oil (and all healthy coconut products). It contains lauric acid, which is very functional in healing the skin and extremely beneficial for hormonal production. It also kills bad bacteria and viruses in the body, provides a quick source of energy, is easy to digest, and speeds up metabolism. Avocados / Avocado They are rich in healthy fat that helps our body absorb and use nutrients. They are also packed with fiber, potassium, magnesium, vitamin E, B vitamins, and folate - essential for maintaining hormonal balance in the body. Raw butter / ghee Provides a rich source of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K2. These nutrients are fundamental bases for hormonal production. Butter provides large amounts of short and medium chain fatty acids, which support immune function, increase metabolism, and have antimicrobial properties, meaning that they fight bad bacteria and viruses in the body. Nuts and seeds Nuts and seeds, olives and olive oil, fermented cod liver oil, hemp seed oil, flax seed oil, and fermented dairy products of organic origin (from free range animals). 3. Vegetables rich in antioxidants that balance hormones 1. Look for anything dark green: asparagus, broccoli, spinach, kale / kale, sprouts, cucumbers, kale, coriander, etc. 2. Go for brightly colored veggies: green, red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, red cabbage, red / white onion, tomatoes, and carrots. 3. Don't overlook starchy vegetables: sweet potatoes, yucca, beets, artichokes, squash, and turnips. 4. Healing with herbs and spices to balance hormones • cinnamon • turmeric • peppers • cumin • Garlic • ginger • bruise If your body has the nutrients it needs to be in hormonal balance, it will be. You will experience glowing skin, stable moods, fertility, and constant energy. Our bodies have an incredible ability to heal and be in balance, when given the nutrients they need to thrive. In neuropathic pain, the nerve that was the mere messenger of pain now becomes the actual source. Narcotic pain relievers don't often help and even when they do, they should not be used as a long term solution. Fortunately there are other options. Certain drugs that were originally developed to treat depression and seizure disorders also damp down inappropriate or excessive pain signaling in the nerves. NerveRejuv

Description: We talked about what to eat to ski and snowboard and how we should eat to enjoy our days in the snow to the fullest. A few days ago, we reviewed what we should eat before and after exercising, but if there is a sport par excellence typical of the dates we are in and that many of you will probably take advantage of to practice it in the next Easter holidays, it is skiing. That is why we are going to dedicate a special post to talk about what to eat to ski and snowboard and, in general, to everything we should eat to fully enjoy our days in the snow. Unlike other sports, when it comes to skiing, the normal thing is that we are talking about very intense and long days, because as normally we do not have the opportunity to enjoy the snow more than a few days a year, when we go We usually spend most of the day on the slopes, which is a significant energy expenditure for which we have to be well prepared. What to eat to ski and snowboard: The days before In the days before skiing, it is advisable to follow a diet rich in carbohydrates to have good glycogen reserves. The best diet for these days is to eat pasta, potatoes or rice accompanied by lean proteins such as fish, chicken, turkey or rabbit. It is also advised to take fruits and vegetables to increase minerals and vitamins. As examples of recipes to prepare before a vacation in the snow we can mention the light rabbit stew with artichokes, the chicken breast with mandarin sauce or the very easy baked fish. Once we get to the snow and, during the days we are there, it will be normal to get up early to take advantage of the hours of more light on the slopes, but the rush should not prevent us from making a good breakfast in which we will include carbohydrates (bread wholemeal, cereals, fruit ...), lean proteins (milk, yogurt, low-fat cheese, ham, eggs, ...) and some "good" fats (extra virgin olive oil, nuts, ...) What to eat for skiing: The best food to take to the slopes To avoid wasting time going down to eat at the station, it is important to know what is the best food to take to the ski slopes that allows us to have enough energy throughout the day. Talking about take-out food to the ski slopes, the most appropriate thing to do is bring small portions of food that provide us with energy the moment we begin to notice symptoms of fatigue. When this happens, you have to take a break –every hour or an hour and a half of activity- and eat some solid and energetic food that contains carbohydrates such as cookies, ounces of chocolate, energy bars, bread with seeds and nuts, juices, bananas or other fruits, energy drinks that combine juice and milk, etc. With this we can continue to maintain the exercise rhythm without fatigue. It is also very important to hydrate well by drinking water or juices at least every hour. What to eat for skiing and snowboarding: After the day in the snow Soups are recommended, as they comfort and help regain body temperature and fluids lost during the day. Carbohydrates are also necessary to replenish glycogen and lean proteins for muscle recovery. It is important to eat well, but not to have a too large dinner that causes heavy digestion and prevents us from resting properly at night. Do you like snow sports? Do you have any more recommendations on what to eat for skiing? Many people swear by body cleanse and detox products that help refresh and revitalize their bodies. These products and behaviors help rid the body of toxins to improve how people feel. What some may not know, however, is that you can do the same thing with your teeth!

With so many different options to choose from, we will focus on four that are simple to implement in your daily routines that will help detox your mouth from harmful toxins and chemicals.

Description: Do we really know what a balanced diet consists of? We tell you what it is and what foods should be included to have a healthy diet. May 15, Food Revolution Day is celebrated, an initiative promoted for a few years by the British chef Jamie Oliver that has spread throughout the world and with which it is intended to promote access to nutrition education for the entire population, starting with the schools. These campaigns arise as a measure to fight against the increase in recent years of health problems related to an incorrect diet. The objective of this year's campaign is precisely to ask that there be a compulsory subject in schools to teach us to eat in a balanced way and taking care of our health. Although it seems that we all know what a balanced diet is - after we put it into practice it is another matter -, sometimes it is heard that if this person or another has started to eat better, more balanced. Or even, even in the nutritionists' consultations, you hear “if I don't eat that bad either”. In all cases, if you do a little research, what you are really doing is eating a little more vegetable and, many times, eating less bread. Conclusion, we are not so clear about what a balanced diet is. So, we are going to put some clarity on the matter and tell in a summarized way what a balanced diet consists of. What is a balanced diet? The first thing to clarify, what is "diet "? Diet is usually understood to be a special way of eating to lose weight. To understand this concept in this way is wrong. If we have to give a definition of walking around the house and that we all understand, diet is the food that each one eats. That is to say that with diet we do not understand something special, but simply what we eat; you don't have to chase forcibly lose weight. On the other hand, we can put a surname to the concept of "diet", for example, a hypocaloric diet, which is telling us that it is a diet that has certain characteristics and that it is used to lose weight. Another example would be the astringent diet, which due to its characteristics is what we use to control diarrhea. Once we are clear about the concept of "diet" we are going to put the surname that concerns us today, balanced. The balanced diet is one that is capable of meeting the individual's nutrient needs. That is to say, it is the one that will not produce any disease "due to lack of" either in the short, medium or long term. But, in addition, the balanced diet supposes an adequate contribution of energy, carbohydrates, proteins and fats, that is why a balanced diet can also be called balanced. Now some may think, "then a hypercaloric diet, is it balanced?" The answer is that it may or may not be, it all depends on the composition of the diet. The first thing to clarify is what is understood by hypercaloric: by hypercaloric we understand that it is one that has certain characteristics and contributes a certain number of kilocalories. As for whether they are balanced or not, we will explain it to you with an example: Let us suppose the case of a person who is obese. Normally, these people have a low intake of fruit and / or vegetables and a high intake of simple carbohydrates (sugar, for example), because they usually drink soft drinks regularly or other beverages that have a high sugar content. They also frequently consume pastries (mainly industrial) and tend to abuse fatty foods and foods, such as cold cuts, fried foods ... This makes their diet hypercaloric but, in addition, provides them with less vitamins and minerals than a balanced diet, hence They may have some deficiency diseases due to a lack of one or more minerals and / or due to a lack of one or more vitamins. In other words, in this case, the hypercaloric diet is not balanced. What foods should a balanced diet include? According to nutrition experts, the calories ingested throughout the day should come from: • Carbohydrates: 50-55%. They must come mainly from whole grains, fruits, legumes and vegetables. • Fat: 30-35%. The consumption of extra virgin olive oil is recommended, due to its content in monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid). It should also include foods rich in omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, necessary, among other things, for the proper functioning of the brain and which are present in oily fish and nuts. • Proteins: 10-15%. It is recommended to maintain a balance between animal protein sources (meat, fish, eggs) and vegetables (legumes, cereals, nuts). Regarding the number of daily meals, nutritionists recommend having 3 main meals and 2-3 snacks.

Thus, eating salads every day helps to eliminate excess fluids and is beneficial in case of hypertension, fluid retention and oliguria (low urine production).

Description: One of the fundamental aspects of a nutritious lifestyle is to maximize your body's ability to digest and assimilate nutrients. Consuming meals in food combinations that promote optimal digestion allows your body to use nutrients to fuel biochemical reactions that promote health and well-being, rather than creating inflammation, a weakened intestinal wall from poor food absorption, and an open door to infection and disease. 10 Food Combinations to Improve Digestion 1. Protein and non-starchy vegetables 2. If you are not a vegetarian - Organic Chicken and Kale Salad 3. Wild salmon with bell peppers and steamed onions 4. Starchy grains / vegetables and non-starchy vegetables 5. Brown rice with sauteed vegetables 6. Sweet potato and asparagus 7. Non-starchy vegetables and oils 8. Avocado / Avocado and salad 9. Olive oil or coconut oil in steamed vegetables 10. Only one type of fruit each time you eat them Do not combine meat with carbohydrates For example, animal foods need an acidic environment to fully digest, while carbohydrate-rich foods need an alkaline environment to digest. When these foods are eaten together, such as a steak and potatoes, the protein and carbohydrates will create a neutral environment in which both protein and carbohydrates are not fully or properly digested. Improper digestion can lead to digestive upset, food allergies, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, toxicity, and more. Soak legumes like beans and lentils to break down cellulose for better digestion Knowing that protein and grain / carbohydrate combinations lead to poor digestion, you can see how lentils and beans get a bad rap for being difficult to digest. This is in part due to certain sugars in the grains that produce gas. Also, enzyme inhibitors are present to prevent the bean from growing as a plant. Soaking beans, lentils, nuts, and grains overnight, or at least for a few hours, will break down some of the cellulose, break down the gas-causing sugars, and inactivate the enzyme inhibitors, which will improve your digestion. If you want to improve it even more, put the seeds / grains / legumes to germinate for one or two days will initiate the growth of the plant, the increase of the enzymes and the nutrient content. Eating properly ensures a better gut, which in turn improves overall health Improving digestive health is key to any nutritious lifestyle. Look at it this way: 70% of your immune system is in the gut and 95% of serotonin is produced in the gastrointestinal tract. The gastrointestinal system clearly plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of the body. Combining food, digestive enzymes, healing the intestinal wall with supporting nutrients, avoiding depleting foods like alcohol and refined sugars, reducing exposure to toxin and food allergies, and taking specific supportive supplements digestive system, it can transform your body and give you the health and wellness you've been looking for. If you’ve had diabetes for any length of time at all, you’ve probably seen lists of the signs and symptoms of high blood sugar dozens of times. Doctors and diabetes educators hand them out.

Description: Vitamin D, which can be acquired through exposure to sunlight or supplements, is recognized as a crucial component for maintaining optimal health. The lack of vitamin D can cause depression among other ailments. Lack of vitamin D can cause depression and hormonal problems Most people know that vitamin D is important for good bone health. However, many times they don't realize that vitamin D is also essential for many other functions that keep us strong and healthy. For example, vitamin D plays an important role in supporting immune and hormonal health. In fact, several studies have shown that there is a clear correlation between a lack of vitamin D and an increased development of diseases. Vitamin D has been shown to be particularly important for people with health problems such as: • Osteoporosis • Weakened immune function • Cardiovascular problems • Blood sugar problems • Chronic fatigue • Depression • Thyroiditis • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) • Other diseases related to inflammation. • Uterine fibroid tumors • Fibromyalgia Additionally, vitamin D has a direct positive effect on the hormonal balance in the body. Vitamin D interacts with the parathyroid hormone, which is responsible for regulating calcium in the body. A vitamin D deficiency can lead to abnormal parathyroid hormone production, which can eventually lead to hormonal imbalance. Vitamin D also affects the pituitary gland, which is responsible for regulating many different hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. A study published in "Brain Pathology" found that vitamin D is essential in regulating the growth of pituitary cells. This is important because if pituitary cells grow abnormally, pituitary tumors can form, often resulting in hormonal imbalance and eventually disease. The study indicates that this vitamin could help treat some pituitary tumors and that in some cases it could help prevent a pituitary hormonal imbalance. Avoid vitamin D deficiency It is clear that vitamin D is essential for our health. But how do we know if we are getting enough vitamin D? The surprising reality is that most people today have very little. Many people are deficient in vitamin D and don't even know it. The most natural way to get vitamin D is by exposing your bare skin to sunlight (ultraviolet B rays). This can be very quick and easy, particularly in the summer. You don't need to tan or burn your skin to get vitamin D. You only need to expose your skin for about half the time before it starts to turn pink and burn. The amount of vitamin D produced from sunlight depends on the time of day, the part of the world you are in, and the color of your skin. The more skin you expose, the more vitamin D you will receive. You can also get vitamin D by taking supplements. This is a good way to get more vitamin D if you can't get enough sunlight or are concerned about exposing your skin. Vitamin D3 is the best type of supplement you can take. It comes in several different forms, such as tablets and capsules. The reality is that most of us do not have time or live in a place where the climate does not allow us to expose our skin all year round. Even if we had time to be outside, most people hesitate, considering the evidence associated with sun exposure and skin cancer or premature aging. Who is at risk? Teenagers. Today's teens are also getting less and less direct exposure to sunlight. Puberty is a very critical time since at this stage up to half of the bone mass that will be needed for adulthood begins to accumulate, and vitamin D helps ensure that people have the calcium levels in the blood that are necessary for this important process. African Americans. African Americans are at the highest risk of vitamin D deficiency because dark skin needs 5 to 10 times more sunlight than Caucasian skin to produce the same amount of the vitamin. One study found that 42 percent of African American women in the US are deficient in vitamin D. Older adults. Older adults can also be at particularly high risk. After age 50, minimum vitamin D needs double because the body is less able to produce its own vitamin D. In a report published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society in February 2004, researchers at the University of Basel in Switzerland found that elderly women who took a vitamin D supplement with calcium for three months reduced their risk of deficiency by 49% compared to consuming calcium alone. Those who experience rapid weight loss. It's probably obvious that extreme dieting or stress can lead to poor nutrition. Diet can reduce total calories or nutrient sources, while stress can cause loss of appetite or unhealthy eating habits. The problem in both circumstances is that they can lead to bone loss due to lack of vitamin D and other nutrients. Loss of energy often equates to loss of mass, including that of bone. In this situation, the ideal is to take a vitamin D supplement that also supports bone health. What about the diet to gain vitamin D? Unfortunately, you cannot get all the vitamin D you need from diet alone. Unlike other vitamins, there are surprisingly few foods that are high enough in vitamin D to actually maintain the levels that most of us need. Eggs, some types of fish, and fortified foods contain small amounts of vitamin D, but for the most part, we need to supplement unless we can expose our bodies to enough sunlight to generate sufficient levels of vitamin D. Check your vitamin D levels Whether you are considering vitamin D supplementation as a preventive measure, or adding it to a treatment plan, it is always a good idea to have a blood test to measure your vitamin D levels. Ideal amounts would be between 40 -80 mg. If you have been told you have prediabetes, or you are newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, by decreasing your weight by about 10% which is no more than 10-15 lbs for many people you may be able to reverse your diabetes, putting it into remission, or putting off developing it at all.
