Medical Facts

Anemia is a disease associated with iron deficiency.

Iron is a very important mineral; it is the main component of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen and transports it to every cell in the body to perform certain functions. Iron deficiency leads to a health problem called anemia, which in some cases is related to not getting enough iron through the diet. Anemia causes rupture, causing the heart to pump more blood to compensate for the lack of oxygen, leading to an enlarged heart and other health problems. It is very important to keep iron levels at the right levels and this is done by adjusting your diet and in some cases the use of supplements should be added according to the doctor's recommendations. Also, iron needs double during pregnancy. Foods rich in iron include red meat, turkey, vegetables and green leaves, some types of dried fruits. The doctor will recommend the right diet for you.

If you are looking for a healthy weight, there must be a balance between the calories taken and those consumed

Diet is the key to maintaining a healthy weight. A healthy diet includes:

  • - consumption of at least 400 g per day or 5 portions of fruits and vegetables
  • - less than 10% of daily energy should come from sugars or less than 5% and for certain health needs
  • - the energy obtained from fats should not be more than 30% of which no more than 10% should be saturated fats and less than 1% should be from trans fats
  • - you should not consume more than 5 grams of salt per day to prevent hypertension and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Did you know that improper diet can cause you to look older?

This is because through the right diet you get the right proteins and vitamins that make you have a more beautiful skin, shiny and healthy hair and be more active and energetic. Also, if you don't get the right antioxidants found in a variety of fruits and vegetables, free radicals, some unstable molecules, will begin to destroy your body's cells and tissues. A healthy diet helps from the first stages of life in the proper growth and development of children and reduces the risk of developing a number of chronic diseases. Following a balanced diet improves longevity in adults as well as reduces the chances to experience obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and some types of cancer.

FAQ

1What is food intolerance?
Food intolerance occurs in situations where the body has difficulty digesting certain foods or food ingredients. Eating them can cause a number of discomforts such as stomach pain, nausea, irritable bowel syndrome, mouth ulcers and headaches. The most common types of food intolerance include intolerance to lactose and casein found in milk, and intolerance to gluten found in bread and some other baked goods.
2What causes a food intolerance?
A food intolerance can occur due to:
  • Lack of the enzyme needed to completely digest a certain food
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Sensitivity to a number of food additives
3What is a food allergy?
Food allergy is about a reaction of the immune system that occurs after eating a certain food. Eating just a very small amount of a food to which you are allergic can cause symptoms such as indigestion, swelling of the respiratory tract and skin rash. Food allergies are very dangerous because they can cause several life-threatening reactions: the inability to breathe can even cause death.
4How does food intolerance differ from food allergy?
An allergy affects the immune system and a small amount of food can cause symptoms, in some cases severe and life-threatening. Food intolerance affects only the digestive system, causing a series of concerns that affect the quality of life but are not as serious as in the case of allergy. In the case of intolerance, a small amount of the food to which you are intolerant can be consumed.
5What is celiac disease?
Celiac disease is a condition caused by eating gluten, a protein found in wheat and other grains. This disease has some characteristics of allergic diseases as it involves the immune system, which attacks the body's tissues after eating gluten. Symptoms include gastrointestinal problems such as bloating, diarrhea and abdominal pain; joint pain and headache. This disease requires a change in the diet you consume.
6What is a detox diet?
The detox diet eliminates toxins from the body, improving health and helping to lose weight. A detox diet involves a period of not eating, followed by a period of eating strictly only fruits, vegetables, and drinking water, fresh fruit juices, teas, and water.
7What is oxidative stress?
Oxidative stress occurs when your body has too many unstable molecules called free radicals, which require some antioxidants to eliminate them. Free radicals damage tissues and cells, proteins, your DNA and can lead to aging and health conditions such as diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. To fight free radicals, the diet must be rich in antioxidants.
