ANCORA LA BERBERINA: CONFIRM

of VLADIMIRO PIGEONS

While witnessing a continuous repetition of standardized protocols for certain diseases, from’ Another witness a constant proliferation of data and publications that seem to confirm that the natural substances are not only far less dangerous than some drugs, but we also see how often certain active ingredients extracted from plants are able to direct our body to a natural balance and delaying, often avoiding, potential risks of disease. It 's the case of berberine, who recently confirmed a synergistic action with milk thistle in improving the lipid profile, reduce hepatic steatosis and especially reduce insulin resistance. With two natural and safe herbal extracts in practice we can intervene in three directions at once without danger. The study, all Italian, carried out at the University of Pavia was carried out by a team of researchers (Derosa G , Bonaventura A , Bianchi L , Novel D , D’Angelo A , And Fogari , Maffioli P) have demonstrated that the synergistic action of these two plants.  

POWER – CONSUMPTION OF SALT AND BLOOD PRESSURE

the recommended daily consumption of salt in normotensive subjects should be less than 2300 mg / day. In fact, the normal population consumes around 3400 mg / day. A low-salt diet ( low salt content) in the order of 1500 mg / day to conduct 30 gg. generates , average , o7z1cb 3 a 7 o7z1cb. Obviously they are not taken into consideration in patients with hypertension drug treatment. There are no studies of large dimensions which demonstrate that a reduction of the consumption of salt reduces the risk of myocardial infarction. Over the years there have made various studies with correlation between salt intake and cardiovascular events that gave different results in percentage but also in indication. Recall that a normally functioning kidney adapts to significant contributions of salt while maintaining a constant blood pressure. We have not, however, a uniform response in all individuals. Some do not show any effect on systolic blood pressure while others are more affected after taking sodium.

CONCLUSIONS:

An analysis of the various studies available, we can say that reducing salt intake can reduce systolic blood pressure in both normotensive patients and in those with hypertension. However, there is now a direct demonstration that the magnitude of this reduction leads to a decrease in cardiovascular mortality.

LACTOSE INTOLERANCE – TEST Geneticists

COS’E’?

Lactose is the natural sugar content in each type of milk. As children, the enzyme lactase makes it digestible by splitting it into two simple sugars , with the growth we are witnessing a gradual reduction of the enzyme up to the total lack. Lactose intolerance , the most common enzymatic intolerance , ( suffers the 70% the world's population) , is therefore the inability to digest milk sugar. Before being used by the body shall be split lactose into glucose and galactose by the enzyme lactase; on the contrary a deficiency of this enzyme causes the lactose not hydrolyzed , they can not be digested , reaches the colon exerting an osmotic effect resulting in bacterial fermentation of sugar and lactic acid formation. The wing lactose intolerance may occur with nausea , swelling , flatulence , tiredness , headache , joint pain , cutaneous manifestations , abdominal cramps and diarrhea. The symptomatology is dose dependent , therefore the greater will be the amount of lactose ingested and will be more obvious symptoms.

WHY’ TEST THE GENETIC?

Up to now check for lactose intolerance, the BTH test that committed the patient for several hours before the test and during addition to the fact that drugs , comorbidities , smoke could lead to false positives or negatives. Unlike the genetic test results to be non-invasive and rapid execution by presenting some results about the risk of developing lactose intolerance. Be aware of her genetic predisposition to certain diseases allows for adequate and timely changes in their lifestyle or to establish effective preventive measures.

DIAGNOSIS AND GENETICS

Were detected in the lactase gene (map locus 2q21) two different polymorphisms responsible for the persistence of enzymatic : -13910T>C , 22018A>G: in the human species , as well as in all mammals , the genes for the digestion of milk are synthesized immediately after weaning , these mutations, therefore, constitute a selective advantage due to which their holder keeps the lactase gene being able to assimilate lactose into adulthood , Unfortunately, only a small part of the population is a carrier , In fact, the majority of individuals , is lactose intolerant unknowingly continuing to hire him with serious consequences on their health.

THE GENETIC TEST

Genetic testing is carried out using a sample of saliva and requires no preparation in the days before the results are available within 7 days. Let us remember that even though Milk and dairy products are the only natural source of lactose, this is often added to prepared foods. People with very low tolerance for lactose should know about these products.
