Diet low in carbohydrates and sweet single chain carbohydrates for long chain such as whole grains and rice to excess sugar that characterizes diabetes.
Iron and vitamin C, iron deficiency anemia. Foods rich in iron are meat, fish, offal and iron with less healthy but are nuts, legumes, grains, grapes, spinach, watercress, and strawberries. Vitamin C helps iron absorption so you can accompany food of oranges, kiwis and squeeze lemon juice over meat and fish. Read the rest of this entry »

Interpreting Blood Test: The Analytics
- Erythrocytes: Also called red blood cell are the cell corpuscles that carry oxygen through the bloodstream to your cells need to breathe. Inside contain hemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen and gives blood its red color.
When the hemoglobin concentration decreases anemia appear, the most frequent in the population because they are called iron deficiency due to iron deficiency, since this mineral is part of the hemoglobin molecule. Iron is transported by plasma transferrin and deposited in tissues as ferritin.
Ferritin values tell us how much iron is deposited in the body and when it falls, is a good parameter to assess iron deficiency anemia.
- Hematocrit: The percentage of erythrocytes in total blood volume. It is a good indicator for assessing anemia. Read the rest of this entry »

Dangers of Being Overweight in Old Age
Obesity and overweight are defined as excessive body energy reserves, mainly as fat, although it is known that in both cases the health is at risk, older adults increases the risk. This may be the time to take action to prevent future problems, do not you think?
Increased body fat is always manifested by weight gain, but this does not mean that all people who weigh more than what is considered normal to be obese. To find anthropometric indicators have been established as weight, height, thickness of skin folds and circumferences (waist and hip).
However, body mass index (BMI) is a medical tool that determines how much a person has exceeded the reserves of energy as fat. For BMI, divide the number of its weight in kilograms by the result of his height squared, if the shunt is less than 24.9 kg/m2 your weight is normal, if it goes from 25 to 29.9 kg/m2 means overweight. On the other hand, obesity is defined in three classes: the first corresponds to a BMI between 30 and 34.9 kg/m2, second, or risk, 35 to 39.9 kg/m2 and the latter in the sounding the alarm of danger, the index exceeds 40.

For example, it suffices to say that 61% of American adults have some degree of overweight, while in Germany half of its population is under the same circumstances.
For obvious reasons, the current prevention campaigns emphasize undesirable consequences of overweight such as heart attack (death of tissue in heart and brain by blockage or rupture of blood vessels), diabetes (accumulation of glucose in the blood due to complete or partial impairment secretion and insulin action) and cancer (uncontrolled multiplication of abnormal cells that form tumors), but it is noteworthy that many experts also emphasize the impact that obesity has on the behavior and emotions of the sufferer and even stress that psychological factors are decisive for many people resist treatment or abandon it shortly after starting.

Cord Blood and the CD34+ Stem Cells as the Major Component from Blood Transplantation Procedure
There are many factors that may interrupt your life. One of them is disease. Since a long time ago, diseases have become the natural opponent of human. When human grows and develops his own world, any type of disease also grows its ability. Luckily, the human is able to create better and newer cure for these diseases, one of them is through blood transplantation method as well as regenerative medicine.
These two procedures however, require the same stem cell types to be successfully performed. You as a human, have your chance to suffer the blood disease. Your effort to provide your own stem cells begins when you are about to give birth to your baby, when placenta and cord blood come with it. Cord Blood is full of CD34+ stem cells, the one that can cure leukemia. Stem cells work by transforming itself to replace any blood cells, red or white, and starts to fight the disease.

Cinnamon to Control Blood Sugar
A new study by the Department of Agriculture of the United States found that cinnamon can reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease. This study consisted of 22 obese people with irregular glucose levels, making them candidates for developing diabetes.
When blood sugar is too high, the body produces a large amount of insulin, which is also called the hunger hormone. The excess cells resist insulin and the person ends with a high blood sugar and insulin, a condition known as insulin resistance.
This condition can affect people with normal weight, but is very rare, mostly suffer from those who are overweight. According to the National Repository of Diabetes, people who suffer from insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes developed in 10 years but lost in 5 to 7% by weight. People with this condition are also at increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
