Why you should juice everyday: Part 1

(Extraído de examiner.com)

By: Monica Sleeter

Juicing can save your life. In the United States, right now, the leading causes of death are heart disease and cancer. They have remained, according to the CDC, the first and second leading causes of death, respectively during the past 75 years. Chronic lower respiratory diseases and strokes followed with Alzheimer’s and diabetes also in the top 10 list of causes.

What do all these diseases have in common? What you put in your body! Scientific evidence supports that our health problems are related to a combination of nutritional deficiency and environmental toxicity.

The typical American diets of meat (beef, chicken, pork or fish) and a starch (potato, rice or pasta) leaves vegetables as an afterthought comprising of a side of this or that vegetable, or the occasional salad.

Americans, overall, are not getting the phytonutrients their bodies need; and while advances in technology, medicine and prevention have reduced the death rate percentage of cardiovascular deaths somewhat, cancer rates have increased. Yes, vegetables and fruits do matter. The quickest and most efficient way to ingest the FDA’s recommended six to seven servings of fruits and vegetables per day is to juice them.

What you eat and drink every day continuously has an impact on your overall health and your susceptibility to these and other diseases. In addition to vitamins and minerals that a person absorbs for their food and drinks, there are natural chemicals called Phytonutrients (or Phytochemicals) that though not essential to keeping you alive, because they are not yet classified as nutrients, they are key factors in the prevention of disease and in keeping your body working properly.

They are non-nutritive plant chemicals that contain protective, disease-preventing, compounds and are associated with the prevention and/or treatment of at least four of the leading causes of death in Western countries - cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension. They are involved in many processes including ones that help prevent cell damage, prevent cancer cell replication, and decrease cholesterol levels.

More than 25,000 phytonutrients are found in plant foods. The top five are Cartenoids, Ellagic acid, Flavonoids, Resveratrol and Glucosinolates.

  • Cartenoids are antioxidants that fight harmful free radicals that can hinder tissues anywhere in your body. Your body can convert these to Vitamin A, which is essential to keeping your immune system working properly. Cartenoids are found in yellow, orange and red colored fruits and vegetables. Spinach, kale and collards also contain carteroids.
  • Ellagic acid, found in berries and other plants, helps protect against cancer by causing cancer cells to die and may help your liver neutralize cancer-causing chemicals in your system.
  • Flavonoids (found in a variety of plant foods including apples, onions) help reduce people's risk of asthma, certain types of cancer, and coronary heart disease.
  • Resveratrol, found in grapes and red wines, acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Some research suggests that resveratrol might reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. And it may help extend people's life span.
  • Glucosinolates are found in cruciferous vegetables (think broccoli or cabbage). They turn into other chemicals during the cooking process and while you digest these foods. These, in turn, may help retard the growth of cancer.

In order for your body to get all these phytonutrients, you have to make fresh juice a part of your life. If you do not consume many fruits and vegetables, adding juice to your diet can be a different way to increase the consumption of these important plant foods and thereby improve your overall health and wellness.

Juicing provides a way to access digestive enzymes typically locked away in the fiber matrix of whole fruits and vegetables. Most commercial juices are processed and lacking in nutrition while freshly juiced fruits and vegetables are loaded with an abundance of vitamins, minerals and of course, the aforementioned phytonutrients.

Though some may argue that not consuming the insoluble fiber from vegetables and fruits by juicing is non-conducive to overall health, the soluble fiber does persist in the juice; and in removing the fibers and consuming fruits and vegetables in liquid form, nutrients are more quickly delivered to the body and allow individuals, who may have difficulty or simply don’t consume enough whole vegetables, the opportunity to reap the numerous benefits vegetables and their phytonutrients, have to offer.

Professor Gerard Anderson of John Hopkins University notes that close to 50 percent of the population in North America now suffers from at least one chronic disease, and many more suffer from more than one condition. The rate of increase in incidence of autoimmune and degenerative diseases is alarming, especially when one looks at the dramatic rate of increase of these diseases in children.

Instead of waiting to get sick and then desperately searching for a cure, prevent disease now, by juicing daily. Give your body the tools and nutrients it needs to remain well. Part two will include tips on the how's of juicing.

Foods that heal

(Extraído de sunstar.com.ph)

By Henrylito D. Tacio

DESPITE advance science and medical breakthroughs, diseases continue to take its toll on human beings. Every now and then, new diseases are reported; those that have been reported to be curtailed are staging a comeback.

For every medicine discovered, two new ailments emerge. But nature has provided us medicines that are not only safe but also affordable. They are available in our kitchens, gardens, or tables.

Take the lowly sayote (Sechium edule). The leaves and fruit have diuretic, cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory properties, and a tea made from the leaves has been used in the treatment of arteriosclerosis and hypertension, and to dissolve kidney stones.

Due to its purported cell-regenerative properties, it is believed as a contemporary legend that sayote caused the mummification of people from the Colombian town of San Bernardo who extensively consumed it. The very well preserved skin and flesh can be seen in the mummies today.

What is in a sayote fruit? Upon analysis, its edible portion per 100 grams gives 94 percent moisture, 19 percent calories, 0.4 gram protein, 0.1 gram fat, 4.9 grams carbohydrates, and 0.6 gram fiber. Also found in the fruit in small amounts are calcium, sodium, thiamine, vitamin A, riboflavin, ascorbic acid, and niacin.

Another food that can save a lot of people from starvation during bad times is sweet potato (called locally as "camote" but known in the science world as Ipomoea batatas).

Although perceived as a "poor man's food," it is the most nutritious food of all vegetables, according to the
Washington, D.C.-based Center for Science in the Public Interest.

American nutritionists found that camote has "almost twice the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A, 42 percent of the recommendation for vitamin C, and four times the recommended daily allowance for beta carotene."

Having high dietary fiber and low fat content, camote is suitable for diabetics because it helps stabilize blood sugar levels and lowers insulin resistance. Among the root vegetables, camote has the lowest glycemic index. As such, it causes only a small rise in blood glucose level.

The roots are not the only edible part of camote but also the leaves and tops. Nutritionists claim the leaves and tops contain high amounts of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber.

In a study by nutritionist Richard Baybutt of Kansas State University, it was reported that smokers exposed to benzoapyrene, a cancer-producing chemical in cigarettes, were deficient in vitamin A that contributed to lung inflammation and emphysema. Thus, the consumption of foods high in vitamin like camote is recommended to correct such deficiency.

After camote, there's potato. "The potato contains high quality protein and substantial amounts of essential vitamins, minerals, and trace elements," says Potatoes for the Developing World, published by the International Potato Center (CIP). "Raw cereals and beans yield substantially more energy than potatoes, but the difference is much less if comparisons are made on a cooked basis."

Potatoes are rich in several micronutrients, especially vitamin C - eaten with its skin, a single medium-sized potato of 150 grams provides nearly half the daily adult requirement (100 milligrams).

Not only that, the potato is a moderate source of iron, and its high vitamin C content promotes iron absorption. It is a good source of vitamins B1, B3 and B6 and minerals such as potassium, phosphorus and magnesium, and contains folate, pantothenic acid and riboflavin.

In most parts of the world, tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) is eaten freely, and its consumption is believed to benefit the heart among other things. It contains lycopene, one of the most powerful natural antioxidant which has been found to help prevent prostate cancer.

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is also a risk factor for cardiovascular problem. As such, scientists tried also to look into the beneficial effects of lycopene extracted from tomato in bringing down blood pressure. Researchers developed lycopene in soft gel capsules and found that eight weeks of daily intake of the said capsule was linked to a significant drop in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with mild to moderate hypertension. They assumed that the antihypertensive effect is a result of the antioxidant activity of the tomato extract.

Perhaps those who are getting older should eat a lot of tomatoes. A new compound discovered in tomato plants is 14 times higher than a well-known antioxidant which delays aging. Not only that, the powerful natural antioxidant is 4.5 times more potent than vitamin E and 10 times more potent than vitamin C.

Ampalaya (Momordica charantia) can be considered as nature’s answer to diabetes. Almost 100 studies have demonstrated the blood sugar lowering effect of this bitter fruit. Dr. A. Raman and Dr. C. Lau, who reviewed over 150 pre-clinical and clinical studies on ampalaya’s anti-diabetes properties and phytochemistry, concluded that, “Oral administration of fruit juice or seed powder (of bitter melon) causes a reduction in fasting blood glucose and improves glucose tolerance.”

In the Philippines, Dr. William Torres, former director of Bureau of Food and Drugs, came up with this conclusion after reviewing several studies done on ampalaya: "Ampalaya fruits, leaves, seeds and other parts, when used as dry powders, extracts, decoctions, fresh or cooled, have clearly demonstrated hypoglycemic activity."

Researchers have identified the key compounds present in ampalaya, notably polypeptide-P, a plant insulin found only in the ampalaya. Similar to animal insulin, polypeptide-P lowers elevated blood sugar levels.

Eggplant is a crop native to India, where it has been grown for thousands of years. The Chinese and Arabs grew eggplant as early as the ninth century, and it is said to have been introduced into Europe by the early invaders. British traders brought this vegetable to the London market from West Africa in the seventeenth century, calling it "Guinea squash."

Its scientific name, Solanum melongena, is derived from a 16th century Arabic term for one type of eggplant.

Today, different varieties of eggplant produce fruit of different size, shape and color, especially purple, green, or white. There are even orange varieties of eggplant.

Con medicina complementaria disminuye hasta en 100% uso de antidepresivos

(Extraído de andina.com.pe)

Lima, may. 06 (ANDINA). Cerca de 400 mil pacientes asegurados a nivel nacional mejoraron su calidad de vida en los últimos 15 años, gracias a los diversos tratamientos integrales que ofrece el Seguro Social de Salud (EsSalud) en el campo de la medicina complementaria, cuya aplicación permite disminuir hasta en 100% el uso de ansiolíticos y antidepresivos.

Martha Villar López, directora de Medicina Complementaria de EsSalud, recordó que este martes 7 de mayo este importante servicio cumplirá 15 años de labor ininterrumpida, en beneficio de miles de asegurados.

A propósito de este aniversario, hoy se inauguró la “Jornada Científica Nacional de Medicina Complementaria” en la sede central de EsSalud, con la participación de funcionarios del Seguro Social, y de representantes de universidades públicas y particulares del país y de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS).

El certamen académico fue inaugurado por la gerente central de Prestaciones de Salud de EsSalud, Ada Pastor, en el auditorio principal de la sede central.

La ceremonia contó con la presencia del representante de la OPS, Benjamín Puertas, quien a su turno expuso el tema “Medicina tradicional, alternativa y complementaria: presente y futuro”.

Igualmente, participó el gerente de Prestaciones Primarias de Salud de EsSalud, Julio César Medina Verástegui, quien ofreció las palabras de bienvenida a los asistentes; y  Martha Villar, quien trató el tema “Situación de la medicina complementaria en el país”. 

Este actividad –que comprende el desarrollo de paneles en materia de fitoterapia, acupuntura, medicina natural y medicina mente/cuerpo- se realizará hasta este martes 7 de mayo.

Atención integral

Villar explicó que el objetivo de medicina complementaria es brindar una atención integral e integrada, siendo el paciente un participante activo en la búsqueda y mantenimiento de su salud.

“El enfoque del paciente es global, ya que se trabaja su parte orgánica, psicoemocional, espiritual y social”, precisó.

Detalló que cuando un paciente llega a medicina complementaria, no solo se trata su problema, que puede ser algún tipo de dolencia o disfunción articular; también se evalúa su peso, su estilo de vida y su relación con la familia, ya que trabajamos mucho la parte espiritual, emocional y el soporte social que debe tener en la familia y en los amigos.

La actual Dirección de Medicina Complementaria de EsSalud nació un 7 de mayo de 1998, con la creación del programa respectivo. En sus inicios funcionó con 10 módulos de atención, cinco de los cuales se ubicaban en Lima y los otros cinco en Arequipa, Cusco, La Libertad, Pasco y Puno.

Según refirió Villar, entre los años 1998 y 2012 han sido atendidos un total de 383 mil 218 pacientes a nivel nacional.

En la actualidad, se cuenta con 51 locales de atención distribuidos en el país.

Así, se han implementado 25 redes asistenciales de EsSalud con 25 Centros de Atención de Medicina Complementaria (CAMEC), 25 Unidades de Medicina Complementaria (UMEC) a nivel nacional, mientras que una Unidad de Cuidados Paliativos de Medicina Complementaria se ubica en el Hospital Edgardo Rebagliati.

En ellos se tratan pacientes con males crónicos, como asma, hipertensión, diabetes; también con quemaduras y trastornos emocionales como la ansiedad y la depresión, además de patologías como obesidad, enfermedad acidopéptica, poliartrosis, dorsalgias, cefalea tensional, neuralgia del trigémino, entre otros.

Basada en un estudio, la doctora Villar hizo saber al respecto que se ha logrado disminuir en un 80% el consumo de analgésicos y hasta en un 60% el de medicamentos para el asma, en aquellos pacientes que recurren a la medicina complementaria.

“En el caso de ansiolíticos y antidepresivos, en el estudio se muestra que se logró disminuir el 100% de ellos”, destacó la especialista, quien refirió que “todos los años realizamos un seguimiento de la cantidad de medicamentos que se logra disminuir en los pacientes que acuden a Medicina Complementaria, siendo el promedio de 60 por ciento”.

Métodos

También indicó los métodos terapéuticos que se aplican en medicina complementaria:, como acupuntura, medicina natural (por ejemplo plantas medicinales, fitoterapia, arcillas); terapias manuales (como reflexología, quiropraxia); medicina energética (bioenergética) y medicina cuerpo-mente (como taichí, yoga, meditación). 

En otro momento, hizo saber que en el año 2012 los CAMEC y las UMEC atendieron a 47,513 asegurados; la acupuntura y la fitoterapia fueron los métodos más utilizados, y que el nivel de satisfacción del usuario fue del 91%.

Asimismo, la doctora Villar señaló que el diagnóstico con mayor prevalencia en los Camec y Umec fue la poliartrosis (25%), seguido de dorsalgias (14%), ansiedad (8%) y obesidad (8%).

Finalmente, resaltó que en marzo de este año la influyente cadena internacional de noticias CNN en Español difundió un documental destacando la importante labor que realiza EsSalud en el campo de la medicina complementaria.

'I Congreso Nacional de Semergen de Pacientes Crónicos'

(Extraído de europapress.es)

 

La homeopatía es una opción terapéutica complementaria que mejora la salud y la calidad de vida del paciente crónico

   La homeopatía es una opción terapéutica complementaria que "mejora la salud en general y la calidad de vida del paciente crónico", según han señalado algunos de los expertos que están participado este viernes en Valencia en el 'I Congreso Nacional de Semergen de Pacientes Crónicos'.

   Esta cita, que ha sido organizada por la Sociedad Española de Médicos de Atención Primaria, cuenta con el denominado aula 'El Medicamento Homeopático en la salud del paciente crónico', que está auspiciado por Boiron. En este espacio se aborda esta temática, que es "útil" en el abordaje multidisciplinar de las enfermedades crónicas, explican los expertos.

   En concreto, los tratamientos homeopáticos "pueden ayudar a reducir los síntomas asociados a estas patologías, además de tratar afecciones leves como resfriados, tos o gripes", indican. Todo ello "mejora el bienestar de los pacientes y hace que dispongan de más autonomía", afirman.

   A juicio de la médico de familia y diplomada en Terapéutica Homeopática, la doctora Lucrecia Borja Vila, la sintomatología asociada a la enfermedad "es la que realmente repercute sobre su bienestar". En este sentido, explica que, además de ayudar a prevenir y tratar posibles complicaciones o reagudizaciones, "contribuye a disminuir la intensidad y la frecuencia de los síntomas" e, incluso, a resolverlos "satisfactoriamente".

PUEDEN CONSUMIRSE CON OTROS FÁRMACOS

   Por otra parte, la experta sostiene que la gran ventaja de los medicamentos homeopáticos es su perfil de seguridad ya que, en general, "no se han descrito efectos secundarios relevantes asociados a su toma, ni interacciones medicamentosas". Por ello, subraya que son tratamientos "compatibles" con los tratamientos habituales que deben tomar estos pacientes.  

   Al respecto, Borja Vila indica que éste el principal motivo para su empleo, según señala el 'I Estudio sobre Conocimiento y Uso de la Homeopatía', "el 78 por ciento de los usuarios destacan que no se han descrito efectos secundarios relevantes asociados a su toma". Por su parte, un 44 por ciento destaca su eficacia y un 25 por ciento que pueden tomarse con otros fármacos o durante el embarazo.

   Por último, se observa que el 82 por ciento de los usuarios de la homeopatía se muestra satisfecho o muy satisfecho con los resultados obtenidos, lo que hace que el 87 por ciento la recomiende a sus familiares y amigos.

Homeopatía: El estudio del alma

(Extraído de laitman.es)

Pregunta: Yo sé que usted practicó la homeopatía. Conozco a algunos de sus pacientes que realmente fueron curados ¿Por qué eligió la homeopatía entre todos los otros métodos?

Respuesta: La homeopatía no se interponía en mi camino de hacer lo que es realmente importante. Además, este es un método mediante el cual puedes ayudarles a las personas, incluso con una sesión.

Pregunta: Es interesante que al hablar del efecto placebo, la mayoría de las personas le atribuyen esta categoría a la homeopatía. Dicen que se trata de píldoras que realmente no contienen ninguna sustancia activa.

Respuesta: En realidad no hay sustancias químicas en ella puesto que esto va más allá de la constante de Avogadro. En la medicina homeopática, existe el poder de la materia que esta abarca. Esto significa que es un poder real que va más allá de la materia y que, por el momento, no podemos definir.

En ella existen muchas de esas áreas que no podemos definir. Cuando la persona me observa de espaldas, por ejemplo, yo siento su mirada  ¿Pero cuál es el poder que está enfocado en mí? ¿De dónde surge, de sus ojos? Hay muchos de esos fenómenos en el mundo.

Si usamos la homeopatía correctamente, esta tiene mucha influencia. En realidad, en nuestros días cuando el cuerpo está contaminado con químicos, es una situación muy diferente de lo que fue al principio de la homeopatía. En el pasado, las personas solían tomar de tres a cinco potencias y eso era suficiente para causar un efecto en la persona. Hoy, sin embargo, potencias que son miles de veces más grandes no tienen ningún efecto en la persona.

La homeopatía es una ciencia muy compleja. Pienso que es más compleja que todas las otras ciencias médicas, dado que además es individual. Por supuesto no es alópata (un fenómeno que es atribuido al efecto predominante de un organismo sobre otro, mediante la extracción de sustancias químicas). Esta depende del hábitat de la persona, del entorno en el que vive, de su raza, y su nacionalidad. De hecho, todo esto debe estudiarse con respecto a su alma.

Pregunta: ¿Con el fin de elegir una medicina homeopática específica para una persona, quien la practica debe basarse no sólo en un cierto síntoma, como dolor de oídos por ejemplo, sino en la psicología del paciente en general?

Respuesta: Si, se toma en cuenta su componente espiritual interno, ya que éste muestra qué contrajo la persona y cómo puede neutralizarse. La homeopatía primitiva del tipo alópata cura al paciente con base en los síntomas externos, pero la cura real se realizada sólo con base en el mundo interno de la persona.
