Posted by kiki | March 6th, 2010 in Bone Health | No Comments »

bone healthThis feeding is associated with lower bone mineral density, but no cause for clinical concern. The association between vegetarian diets and bone mineral density is controversial.

The debate centers on the possibility that this type of food results in a lower bone mass, as some studies, compared to other investigations that have found no statistical significance in this relationship.

The issue concerned because BMD is the strongest and most consistent predictor of fractures associated with osteoporosis.

In Western countries, a considerable proportion of the population has adopted a vegetarian diet that includes foods not found in traditional diets as the best for the formation and growth of bones.

The quality and quantity of ingested nutrients (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin D, A, K) and the consumption of other dietary elements that promote or hinder the absorption of minerals that nourish the bone, have a significant imprint on health marrow.

These factors add up to each individual’s genetic predisposition to develop bone disorders.

The latest review on the possible association between diet and bone mineral density, a controversial issue, is a meta-analysis conducted by the Bone and Mineral Research Program Garvan Institute of Medical Research, picked up this October in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

General Information of Allergy

Posted by kiki | March 4th, 2010 in Allergy | No Comments »

allergyWhat is Allergy?

An allergy is an exaggerated response of our organism, when in contact with certain substances from outside. Substances capable of causing an allergic reaction are called allergens or simply allergens.

How do you get?

The immune response is of great importance but sometimes causes serious problems:

In organ transplants (kidney, heart, lung …) our immune system identifies the new organ as foreign and try to put in place to combat it, if not the rejection medications are given to reduce this response (called immunosuppressants).

Sometimes confuses the immune system components of our body with foreign elements and starts a reaction against them leading to the autoimmune diseases (many rheumatic conditions are the origin).

Sometimes it produces an immune response in the presence of harmless substances to the body, which are usually tolerated by it. This overreaction is called allergy and the substances are allergens that trigger. The potential allergens are very numerous and may contact us through various means:

The air we breathe: plant pollens, house dust, fungi, animal hair … Food: fish, eggs, nuts, … Drugs: penicillin, aspirin, … Insect stings, bites, … Skin contact: cosmetics, industrial products …

Allergic Reactions and Effects to Mosquito Bites

Posted by kiki | March 2nd, 2010 in Allergy | No Comments »

mosquito bites

No summer without mosquitoes, but fortunately, unlike what happens with the stings of bees and wasps, generalized allergic reactions caused by mosquito bites are quite rare in Spain.

The male mosquito is a vegetarian and does not sting. In contrast, the female needs blood, so itchy. In doing so, leave saliva on your skin and think that is what causes the allergic reaction. Given the mosquito bite, your body has immediate and delayed reactions.

Within minutes of the bite usually appears as reddened skin, a few hours later gives way to a bump (papule) that is very itchy and disappears, usually within one or two days. If repeated bites can appear a very itchy rash that results in an acute prurigo or papular urticaria, which is very common in children.

In some cases, blistering may occur in the skin and may even anaphylactic shock. To protect ourselves from mosquito bites we should wear clothes that cover arms and legs, avoid places with lots of mosquitoes, put mesh nets on windows and using repellents and insecticides.
