Esta é das perguntas que mais me fazem na consulta. A resposta, sem ser simples, não é difícil.
As principais causas da obesidade são, a hipernutrição, o sedentarismo e o stress. Noutro dia, falaremos da genética e da microbiota.
Se se dedicarem a contabilizar exatamente tudo o que consomem (comida e bebida), ao longo de 24h, aperceberão-se que ingerem muito mais calorias do que pensam e que, a maior parte delas, é consumida fora das refeições principais.
O álcool, principalmente em contextos sociais, é um desses exemplos, visto ser muito calórico.
Também é importante ter em conta que, realizar 30 ou 40 minutos de exercício físico diário, não compensa uma vida muito sedentária, não sendo suficiente para que haja diminuição do peso pretendido. Adicionalmente, o stress activa determinados mecanismos que alteram a produção e função dos neurotransmisores, facilitando o aumento de peso e volume.
Não se engane a si próprio, tenha noção de tudo o que ingere e do exercício real que pratica.
What to eat or with whom to eat? Today we are not going to talk about food but about who to eat with and where. In this autumn time, except for this weekend, we should enjoy the terraces. The temperature is still inviting and sharing the table with family and friends, with people we feel good about, is much more than just hanging out, it's health! When we are well, happy or we are with people we like to be with, our hormonal and immune system works much better, in the end the body and mind are one. Live with due care. Try to be happy and have positive thoughts. Have a fantastic weekend.
Gluten, casein and intestinal absorption: our intestine has the important mission of allowing us to absorb nutrients and thus be able to feed us. But it also has the mission of preventing toxic or inappropriate molecules, due to their complexity, from being absorbed. Recent studies indicate that both gluten and casein in dairy products can hinder this mission and the selective ability to absorb food, so as an adult, it is recommended to reduce the intake of these nutrients.
Vitamin D is so important that it is known as Hormone D.
The main functions of vitamin D are:
• Strengthening of bones and teeth (best known function), as it promotes increased absorption and transport of calcium and phosphorus to the bones.
• Diabetes Control, as it works to maintain the health of the pancreas, producing insulin, the hormone that regulates blood glucose levels.
• Improvement of the immune system, preventing bacterial and viral infections.
• Reduction of inflammation in the body, as it reduces the production of inflammatory substances. Consequently, there is a greater control of autoimmune diseases, such as Psoriasis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, among others.
• Prevention of diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, some types of cancer (breast, prostate, colorectal and kidney cancer), due to the effect that vitamin D has on controlling cell death and reducing the formation and proliferation of malignant cells.
• Improved cardiovascular health, as it lowers blood pressure and the risk of other cardiovascular diseases.
• Muscle strengthening, participating in the process of muscle formation and being linked to greater muscle strength and agility.
• Antioxidant effect, being able to prevent premature aging, since it reduces the damage caused to cells by free radicals.
• Helps the body in the slimming process.
Like all other supplements, Vitamin D should only be recommended under medical supervision.
Have a fantastic weekend, consuming fish and egg yolks, the best sources of vitamin D, and sunbathing, moderately, in order to transform it into its active form (☀️)
