Salt, Modern Threat To Health

Particular salts are molecules formed by binding of complementary electrical charges ions. />Electrolytes are dissolved in water, fulfilling important functions in the body, such as establishing the electrical impulses of the nervous system and help absorb nutrients.Excessive consumption of salt is definitely a factor for hypertension. Both have increased dramatically in the past 30 years in the United States, bringing the average intake to 4,000 milligrams a day, twice the recommended, and 110 million Americans considered hypertensive or pre-hypertensive.The evils of hypertensionAlthough salt intake is not the only cause of hypertension, it is the principal. Other factors are the cause overeating, animal protein, smoking and drinking. Is also more likely if you have a family history, and often is linked to kidney problems, thyroid, hormonal dysfunction, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, nervous tension.High blood pressure can damage the nervous system, headaches, dizziness, insomnia, shoulder problems, heart problems and constipation. It is estimated that by simply reducing salt intake by half could save up to 1.5 trillion dollars in twenty years in medical expenses.Salt is the problem.Reducing salt intake is an extremely easy task. Over two thirds of our intake comes from processed foods, especially cheese, ham, dressing, bread and pastries. If we consume these products or produce at home, and if we become aware of the damage that salt generated in our body, we can prevent hypertension.Another part of the problem is that it is not only large amounts of salt in processed foods, but salt is processed to make it the worst quality of salt: sodio.La chloride salt is naturally rich in other minerals such as magnesium and potassium, which help the body maintain a balance of blood pressure.Meet sodium salt is not: sea salt and other healthy varieties for youAlso, table salt chemicals are added to moisten least bleach, iodine and fluorine (read about avoiding fluoride in your toothpaste), making it more harmful to health.Where does the sodium we consumeAccording to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, about 10 percent of the sodium we consume comes from water and food. Distilled water that many companies offer, low-sodium, trace minerals, it is actually harmful to health. Take two or three liters of this water, but helps eliminate excess sodium, decompensation and minerals from the body takes to multiply their kidneys work.Another 10 percent is added when we eat and when cooked, although the average varies greatly according to the habits of each person. Just one teaspoon of table salt contains all the sodium we consume in a day. Still cooking at home, many people exceed this amount in each dish.The main source of salt in modern American diet, about 77 percent comes from processed foods, many of which ingest them when we eat away from home.Sodium chloride is used in meats to prevent the formation of bacteria, and to generate texture sausages. (Read more about additives harmful to health).Much salt is enoughSalt consumption varies depending on the person and the physical, environmental and diet. A macrobiotic person has no need to add salt to your food. If anything uses it to create balance in a dish, use unrefined sea salt.Salt intake also varies according to season and food. On a diet of spring, for example, you need a little salt, but we need to use more in winter.In general, the sodium we consume should be between 500 and 2,400 milligrams per day.However, there food market exceeding this limit in a single portion. For example, some fries with ranch dressing averaged 4.890 milligrams sodium. A bagel from Dunkin Donut's salt, 4.520 milligrams. A burger Swanson goes up to 5.410 milligrams. And the list could be endless.If a single food exceed the salt we eat all day, how much salt accumulates with the rest of our food?SolutionsThese three tips are basic to life again low in sodium and free of health hazards associated with high blood pressure.

    
The first step is to avoid processed foods as much as possible. Especially cold meats, cheeses and pastries.
    
Use salt substitutes home, untreated sea salt (Celtic salt is an excellent choice), potassium-containing salt diet eliminating tender. At first find the food bland, but after a week you will find that things really have taste: desintoxicarás your palate.
    
Finally, try to use other ingredients instead of salt to enhance the flavor of your food. Many spices can replace the salt and give interesting flavors to your meals. Experiment with cilantro, marjoram, pepper, basil, sage, parsley, rosemary, nutmeg, tarragon, cumin ...

Pet Health Tip#36- Skin Tumors in Dogs


There are several types of skin tumors that affect dogs.  Most of these are benign.  However, there are also some malignant tumors that can affect dogs.
The benign tumors are usually slow growing, soft, and free moving; meaning that you can grasp them and move them around under the skin.  Benign tumors include: skin tags, warts, moles, and lipomas.  The skin tags, warts, and moles look similar to the ones we get.  They are unsightly, but harmless.  Lipomas are fatty tumors that are very slow growing and soft.  They are very common in older, overweight dogs.  They typically don’t cause any problems unless they are located in an area that restricts movement; such as under a front limb.
The most common malignant tumors that are found under the skin are Mast Cell Tumors and Osteosarcomas.  Both of these tumors are usually fast growing, hard, and attached to the tissue under the skin.
Mast Cell tumors are very common and can be found in all breeds.  However, Boxers, Beagles, and Boston Terriers are the breeds most commonly affected.  These tumors can be found anywhere on the body, but are often found on the limbs.  They can change shape and size very rapidly.  These tumors are made up of cells that the body uses to respond to inflammation and allergies.  These tumors can release high amounts of the cells into the dogs body and cause damage to the internal organs.  Some mast cells remain localized, but others can metastasize to other regions of the body.  It is very important to have these tumors removed and sent for a biopsy to determine the malignancy and risk to the dog’s overall health.
Osteosarcomas are bone tumors.  These tumors are highly malignant.  They are most commonly seen at the elbow, wrist, or shoulder.  However, any bone can be affected.  Limping on the affected limb is usually the first symptom.  However, often times the tumor isn’t noticed until it become visible.  At the point that it is visible, there is a 90% chance that it has already metastasized to another area of the body, usually the lungs.  Treatment of osteosarcoma is very aggressive and usually involves chemotherapy or radiation.
In conclusion, although there are many types of skin tumors that are benign, it is important to have all tumors examined by your veterinarian, so that treatment of malignant tumors can begin as soon as possible.

Pet Health Tip #35- "Fatty Liver Disease in Cats"

Fatty liver, also known as hepatic lipidosis, is the most common liver disease in cats.  When the body is in starvation mode, it quickly shifts fat cells to the liver.  It does this so that the liver can convert the fat into lipoproteins for energy.  However, the cat’s liver is not very good at converting these fat cells.  So, the fat accumulates in the liver.  As the fat builds up, the liver starts to lose its ability to function. 
The liver has many jobs in the body.  These include: detoxification, protein synthesis, and the production of chemicals used in digestion.  The liver also helps break down red blood cells and produces clotting factors to aid in blood clotting.  Because of its many jobs, when the liver starts to fail, you will see several symptoms.
Hepatic lipidosis is usually caused by a cat’s loss of appetite.  This can be caused by illness (such as diabetes or kidney disease), stress, extreme diet restrictions by owners, or being lost.
The most obvious symptom is yellowing of the eyes and mucous membranes.  This is referred to as jaundice in people, but is referred to as icterus in animals.  Other symptoms include: anorexia, vomiting, lethargy, neurologic symptoms, and depression.
Treatment will often require hospitalization and includes: fluid therapy, diet changes, and mineral supplements.
The most important treatment is prevention by paying close attention to your cat’s eating habits.  If your cat loses its appetite, it is important to discover the underlying cause and get it treated before the liver starts to deteriorate.  Hepatic lipidosis can be life threatening, so the earlier treatment is started, the higher chance of your cat’s liver recovering.

Pet Health Tip #34- Liver disease in dogs


There are a wide range of causes of liver disease in dogs.  The most common causes are:

Bacterial infection
Viral Infection- Most common in unvaccinated puppies
Toxins-Most common are insecticides and arsenic
Drugs- Most common are NSAIDS used to treat arthritis
Tumors

Early symptoms of liver disease include: weight loss, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, and increased thirst.  In most cases, if the underlying cause of the liver damage is found and treated during this early stage, then the liver will heal and return to normal function.

Symptoms of liver failure include: icterus (yellowing of the eyes or gums), ascites (fluid accumulation in the abdomen), spontaneous bleeding, and neurologic symptoms (disorientation, head-pressing, dullness, and seizures).  Once the liver has advanced to the stage of liver failure, the chances of regaining liver function are very slim.  However, many dogs can survive with treatment, such as IV fluids, medications, and a special diet.

The most important factor in liver disease is to prevent the underlying causes by having your puppy properly vaccinated, keeping your pet away from potential toxins, and using therapeutic drugs according to your veterinarian’s instructions.  Additionally, if you suspect that your pet has been exposed to toxins or has overdosed on NSAIDS, it is important to seek treatment as early as possible.

Food for Pregnant Women

The diet for a pregnant woman should be, above all, more nutritious. Although we know that the baby will cause imbalances in the complex maternal nutritional spectrum, people commonly believe this is solved simply by eating more or taking multivitamins.
But a woman carrying a baby and a mother who breastfeeds her child, just get an overload of carbohydrates or dietary supplement if you have no control over the quality of the food they eat.
Most important nutrientsIn the early months of pregnancy, nutrients for baby's cognitive development are essential. Therefore, mainly folic acid and Omega 3 should be present in the daily diet of all fertile women, and that a deficiency in these and other nutrients before the results of a pregnancy test can have irreversible consequences.
It is important to know the nutrients and natural remedies recommended for pregnant women as well as those that can be dangerous for the baby or the mother during pregnancy.
Nutrients that have more impact on the health of the child and the mother are:

    
proteins
    
iron
    
iodine
    
zinc
    
copper
    
selenium
    
fatty acids
    
vitamin A
    
B complex
The Omega 3 stands out as an essential nutrient in the welfare of the mother, since the development of the baby's neurological system, it is absorbed through the placenta, and can deplete the mother, leading to osteoporosis, cholesterol and other diseases. Today, Omega 3 consumption has decreased significantly, partly because marine pollution (known on other toxic elements in your diet)
Food habits during pregnancy
Here I present some general tips on how to be your diet during pregnancy:

    
More variety than quantity. The more variety of vegetables and fruits you consume, the more likely you are to cover the entire spectrum nutrition your baby needs. Seven servings of fruits and vegetables with five different colors usually cover all the daily nutritional needs.
    

 Your line is not the most important. Is it possible to live without losing a pregnancy figure and not take months and months to get healthy? Absolutely, but this should not be your first target. Do not exercise that may endanger your health or the baby, or follow restrictive diets can cause you malnutrition.
    
 

Eat as natural as possible. In a world full of chemicals and processed foods, it is best that you offer to your baby and your body whole foods, organic, fresh and local.
   

 Avoid drastic life changes. Find the best way to quit smoking and alcohol, but do not change your eating habits drastically vegetarian or macrobiotic diets, or will give up soon. Try to follow a progressive plan with plenty of nutrients, and you can handle nine months.
    
 

Kitchen with various techniques. Foods lose or profit depending on how they are cooked. Use different techniques to the same foods, sauces, soups, raw, boiled, fried, baked, fried, pressed, pickled, fermented ...
    
 

Prepare your desserts. Pregnancy is a time when many women prefer sweet foods. Avoid sugar overdose and conservatives who are in the food prepared and lean for fruit and homemade desserts.
   

 Take care of the quality of the fat you eat. Fats are very important, but they should be of the best quality fats to prevent cholesterol and other consequences of a poor diet. We recommend eating 30 to 40 grams (6-8 teaspoons) of fat per day. Also be sure to avoid trans fats.
   

 Preferred vegetable protein for animal feed, which is easier to digest. May your pulse amount is equal to or greater than that of meat you eat.
     
Searching alternative sources of calcium. Calcium is recommended during pregnancy, but prevents the cow milk rich in casein and lactose, which is the source of calcium healthier. Try to use other sources of this nutrient, such as almonds, sesame seeds, spinach, broccoli, kale or sardines.
   

 Control your weight. Typically, a pregnant woman gains weight. That's healthy and you should not seek help or alarmed when it happens. You should expect your weight increase of the sig. form:
        
At the end of the first quarter, between half a kilo and two kilos
        
From 4 to 9 months, between one and two kilos each month

    
A woman of normal weight should gain between 11 and 16 kilos throughout pregnancy. If she has weight problems, this range will vary and pregnancy should be supervised by a physician.

What to eat in each group
Then I present the foods recommended for a woman who does not have health problems or weight. Special considerations must be taken into account for women who suffer from diabetes, hypertension or other condition.
For further reference, a fruit cup may refer to a half cup if dehydrated. In the case of vegetables, green leaves are minimum recommendations and can be eaten without restriction.

Pet Health Tip#33- Seizures


Seizures in pets can be caused by a number of underlying issues.  The most common causes are:

Idiopathic Epilepsy
Kidney Failure
Liver Failure
Toxins- Insecticides, chocolate, and antifreeze
Brain Tumors
Heat Stroke
Encephalitis- Inflammation of the brain usually caused by an infection such as Distemper
Hyperglycemia

There are several types of seizures.  A grand mal seizure usually begins with a period of altered behavior such as staring, restlessness, and crying out.  This is followed by the symptoms we usually associate with seizures, such as loss of consciousness, paddling, urinating, and defecating.  This part of the seizure usually only lasts 1-2 minutes.  It is followed by a period of confusion and incoordination.
Seizures can also be localized in the brain and cause a more localized reaction such as muscle twitching, blinking, and chomping.

Diagnosis is often made based on historical information, such as exposure to toxins, age of the animals, recent illness, etc.  Blood work will also be done to check for liver function, kidney function, and blood sugar levels.
During the seizure, the first impulse is to reach out and comfort your pet by talking to him and petting him.  However, it is best to turn out the lights, keep quiet, and not to touch him.  Sensory input can prolong the seizure.  This includes the period of disorientation that follows the main part of the seizure.  Once the seizure has ended, it is important to get your pet to a veterinary for a diagnosis.
Treatment is usually based on treating the underlying problem.  For epilepsy, the treatment is based on the frequency and severity of the seizures.  It is important to keep track of when seizures occur and how long they last.
