Spinach Prevent Gall Stones
Perhaps only a few of us who care for gallstones. Yet, each person will almost certainly experience it and it is not impossible to get a gallstone problems in one day.
Gallstone formation is one of the major abnormalities that arise in the bladder and bile ducts. Gallstones occur due to chemical changes in the bile someone. Gallstones are formed from the deposition of cholesterol, pigment bilirubin and calcium salts are hardened, but most of the gall-bladder stones are formed from cholesterol.
In the gall bladder, stones can cause inflammation called acute colestitis, this is because of gallstone fragments in the bile ducts that causes pain. The stones of the gallbladder can be related in the liver and bile ducts, thus stopping the flow of bile into the digestive tract.
Although gallbladder disease rarely show symptoms, the situation could get worse torture. If someone is suffering from gallstones, the symptoms that may arise is the attack when a high-fat meal. Stone blocking the flow of bile will cause acute pain on the right side of the abdomen and towards the back, between the shoulder and the front chest.
According to a recent study in the United States, the formation of gallstones can actually be reduced by consumption of foods containing magnesium. Type of magnesium-rich foods include fish, dried almonds, spinach, avocado, banana, raisins and cashews.
A study of the role of magnesium reduce the risk of stone formation bile. To consumption magnesium in recent years due to the relative decline of food processing too long.
Lack of magnesium has long been known to increase levels of triglycerides and lower good cholesterol (HDL) in blood, which triggers both the risk of gallstone formation. However, until now the effects or long-term effects of magnesium on the risk of gallstone formation in humans is unknown depth.
For that reason, the research conducted by analyzing data of 42,705 men aged 40 to 75 years. These men watched their development from the year 986 until 2002 and they also surveyed every two years to find a new disease cases, including gall bladder disease. The researchers gathered information about the intake of magnesium through a questionnaire sent to semikuantitatif participants every four years. During the monitoring period, the researchers recorded about 2195 men diagnosed with gallstone disease.
Research shows, participants who obtained the highest magnesium intake had a reduced risk of gallstones up to 33 percent than those who received the lowest magnesium intake. Decreased risk was also seen when the researchers considered only contain magnesium intake without supplementation.
Of many research, it appears that a healthy diet, which prioritizes vegetables, fiber, complex carbohydrates and magnesium intake, will reduce the risk of symptomatic gallstones. A healthy diet can also help in preventing a person other than gallstone disease.

When Vitamins Turn Against Himself
If you do not possess the minimum knowledge about the properties of the vitamins and the risk they represent, or if taken in excess, health may be at serious risk.
Taking vitamins is not an issue as simple as that. It is not close to the drugstore and buy a dozen bottles with labels indicating the benefits of vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and so on. and hundreds of combinations of these with minerals. Before embarking on this crusade, which can be a lot of damage to the body, it is best to consult a specialist and follow his instructions.
Multiplicity of values
Let’s talk about multivitamins: in principle, and before thinking about getting dependent jars of colors, people should be aware that as healthy for your body is eating a balanced diet with all the energy requirements demanded daily activity. But if the idea is to choose a multivitamin, research has determined that, in the case of pregnant women, folic acid prevents birth defects. Consumed by anyone else, helps to maintain low levels of amino acids (often associated to heart disease) in the body. If someone wants to take a daily multivitamin, it is best to choose one that provides 100 to 150% of the values required vitamin A to E, including, of course, folic acid.
Do you hate milk?
To prevent diseases like osteoporosis in adulthood (especially women), people should consume calcium from children. The problem is that not everyone likes milk, and there are those who reject derivatives such as cheese, yogurt or butter, for example. These are cases that is necessary to consume vitamin D which helps maintain calcium levels that demand for fortified skeleton.
Over the years, the human body loses its ability to create vitamin D, a process that is declining and reaches a critical point, upon reaching the fifth decade. The best way to supplement the deficiency is to consume a calcium supplement daily with an addition of 200 IU of vitamin D.
Cold all the time
Those who live sneezing and a handkerchief in her hand because of frequent colds, are likely to have deficiencies in vitamin E. Those whose families have a history of heart disease, should be alert and guide its sails toward the consumption of this vitamin. But what is the correct way to take it? The expert answers: “The recommendation is to consume daily 30 IU. A multivitamin usually does not give anyone that amount, so we must take an extra vitamin E pill to achieve a higher percentage to set. Recent studies show that doses of 300 to 600 IU per day, greatly reducing the chance of heart attacks. ”
Do not overreach
Citrus fruits like oranges, are carriers of vitamin C but if it is one of those people who stay away from fruits (mistake), then you should consider taking a daily tablet containing vitamin. “The recommended daily intake is 60 mg but now, after findings from recent studies, it was determined that the body needs more than that so you can reduce the risk of developing lung cancer, stomach or colon. It is best to consume 250 mg vitamin C per day, not worth taking more because the rest will be evacuated by the body. Moreover, it is known that higher doses harm the DNA. ”
What about minerals?
Vitamins and minerals go hand in hand. So it is worth a brush of information. According to the consulting nutritionist, minerals such as selenium, iron and potassium, are needed to prevent some diseases.
“The risk of lung cancer, colon and prostate, is reduced significantly if the person consumes per day at least 200 mg of selenium. Several multivitamin supplement a small amount of this mineral, but for good measure, it is good to acquire an additional cost without being overstated because more than 800 mg daily can cause nausea, vomiting, fatigue and hair loss. As for iron, multivitamins typically provide 18 mg (good) but, for example, pregnant or lactating require more. If we speak of potassium in people with high blood pressure need more potassium than a multivitamin provides. In this case, it is ideal to take two additional 500-mg pills a day. ”
Before you head to consume a multivitamin or vitamins alone it is best to consult a doctor or nutritionist for mixtures of supplements taken daily that add up to more than 600 IU can cause headaches, kidney stones, calcification of heart valves and fatigue. The best in any case is not self-medicate.
