One of the characteristics is that they feel guilty, anxiety and lose of mental
control for eaten in excess. They used to fast or eat less food, but in a short
time they came back into their binge.
Some examples of this behaviour aren´t healthy, like threw up, laxative
abuse, the use of hot baths or sauna´s to lose corporal liquid; make excessive
exercise, smoke to satisfy the appetite, limit or avoid the food, take pills to
lose weight and limit the consumption of liquids. These food disorders and
other behaviour to lose weight can cause health problems in a short or long
period like dental erosion, healthy deficiency, menstrual irregularities, low
bones density, dehydration and heat of stress. The renal failures, like renal
Stone or insufficiency renal.
Psychology problems
The bulimia used to show it with a big feeling of emotional insecurity and
some serious problems in the self-esteem, directly with the appearance or
weight.
Treatment
The treatment is more effective in the first stages of the progress in this
disorder, but, the bulimia used to hide easily, the treatment and diagnosis
doesn´t used to show it until the problem has become in a permanent
ingredient in the life of the patient.
The doctor Sabine Naessén, from Karolinska College, discovered that some
women with this disease has a hormonal unbalance which means an
overproduction of testosterone. To treat them, the use of a contraceptive
pill contains estrogen, which shows the reduction of the bulimia symptoms.
Of course it has to make more studies to decide the efficiency to this
treatment. It´s possible to recover of this disorder if the person can take
the decision of change and fight. (It´s a mental illness)
Conclusion
I think this illness can be avoided if people don´t care about the thoughts
of another people. You only have to like you, like you are.

DIABETES
Diabetes is a disease in which the glucose (sugar) levels in the blood are very
high.
Glucose comes from the foods you eat. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose
enter cells to supply them with energy.
In type 2 diabetes, the most common, the body does not produce or use insulin
properly.
Over time, too much glucose in the blood can cause serious problems. It can
damage eyes, kidneys and nerves. Diabetes can also cause heart disease,
stroke, and the need to amputate a limb. Pregnant women can also develop
diabetes, called gestational diabetes.
A blood test can show if you have diabetes. A type of test, the A1c, can also
check how you are managing your diabetes. Exercise, weight control and
respecting the meal plan can help control diabetes. You should also check your
blood glucose level and, if you have a prescription, take medication.
-Vegan diet:
-
In February of last year, a Navalcarnero inmate
claimed through his lawyer a vegan diet because
they were only offering him the vegetarian, which
includes products of animal origin. The Prison
Surveillance Court agreed with him, and even
established "timely medical controls" to monitor
his health. This decision of the court was based
on Article 226 of the Penitentiary Regulation that
regulates the prisoners' diet, according to which
the medical demands of the inmate population
must be respected and, "as far as possible," the
personal and religious convictions in terms of
food. Religious convictions are also a reason to
adapt the diets of prisoners, as in the case of
Muslims: 10% of inmates in Spanish prisons
follow a Halal diet or are respectful of Islamic law.
It is estimated that in Spain an average of 3.78
euros per prisoner per day is spent for the
maintenance of their diet, although it depends on
the centre and this figure changes three days a
year on certain dates such as Christmas, which
doubles to offer a special menu.
MALNUTRITION
END OF LIFE
José Andrés González Castellano
Introduction
Malnutrition refers to deficiencies, excesses or imbalances in a person’s intake
of energy and/or nutrients. The term malnutrition covers 2 broad groups of
conditions. One is ‘undernutrition’—which includes stunting (low height for
age), wasting (low weight for height), underweight (low weight for age) and
micronutrient deficiencies or insufficiencies (a lack of important vitamins and
minerals). The other is overweight, obesity and diet-related noncommunicable
diseases (such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer).
What are the consequences of malnutrition?
Malnutrition affects people in every country. Around 1.9 billion adults worldwide are
overweight, while 462 million are underweight. An estimated 41 million children under the
age of 5 years are overweight or obese, while some 159 million are stunted and 50 million
are wasted. Adding to this burden are the 528 million or 29% of women of reproductive age
around the world affected by anaemia, for which approximately half would be amenable to
iron supplementation.
Many families cannot afford or access enough nutritious foods like fresh fruit and vegetables,
legumes, meat and milk, while foods and drinks high in fat, sugar and salt are cheaper and
more readily available, leading to a rapid rise in the number of children and adults who are
overweight and obese, in poor as well as rich countries. It is quite common to find
undernutrition and overweight within the same community, household or even individual –
it is possible to be both overweight and micronutrient deficient, for example.
Research suggests that some of the most effective ways to prevent malnutrition
include providing iron, zinc and iodine pills, food supplements and nutrition
education to populations at risk of undernutrition.
. REGULATION SALTS
• Salt from kitchen and table, iodized salt, sea salt, celery
salt.
• Salted, smoked and cured meats.
• Smoked and dried fish, caviar.
• Sausages in general.
• Cheese in general (white and tender cheeses are
tolerable).
• Bread and biscotto with salt (except quantities less than
50gr).
• Olives.
• Envelope soup, instant purées, French fries.
• Packaged vegetable juice.
• Salty oleaginous fruits.
• Industrial pastry (cookies, pasta and cakes are foods rich
in salt).
• Butter or margarine with salt.
• Water with gas and carbonated beverages.
• Savoury condiments, mustards, pickled preserves,
sauces.
•Soups and broth tablets (except those without salt).
REGULATION SALTS
In general, besides having a different taste, they are not
convenient because they can raise potassium in case of
renal diseases or when they consume antihypertensive
medications.
Consequences:
The first changes in occurring in obese children are usually
emotional or psychological. Childhood obesity can also
lead to more serious and life-threatening symptoms, such as
diabetes, high blood pressure, gastro-vascular diseases,
sleep problems, cancer and other afflictions. Some of these
also include liver diseases, anorexia, skin infections, asthma
and other respiratory problems.
Obese children are generally teased by their peers.
Stereotypes abound and can lead to low self-esteem and
depression.
A child has metabolic syndrome when he has developed
three or more of the following problems:
-Abdominal obesity.
-Low HDL cholesterol.
-High triglycerides.
-High blood pressure or hypertension.
-Intolerance glucose.
Conclusion:
Children from childhood should have a balanced diet and
play sports.

SUPERFOODS
1
What are the superfoods
Superfoods are foods — mostly plant-based but also some fish and dairy — thought to be
nutritionally dense and thus good for one's health. Blueberries, salmon, kale and acai are just a
few examples of foods that have garnered the "superfood" label.
‘’Superfoods don't have their own food group," said Despina Hyde, a registered
dietician with the weight management program at New York University's Langone
Medical Center. "As a dietician, I think 'superfood' is more of a marketing term for
foods that have health benefits."
Consuming foods that are packed with nutrients (as many so-called superfoods
are) is certainly a good idea, Hyde told Live Science. But the key to a healthy diet
is to consume a variety of nutritious foods in the right quantities, she added.
Conclusion
I believe that superfoods are very nutritious foods but they must be accompanied
by other types of food, since they alone do not provide all the necessary nutrients
for the human body.

UNDERSTANDING
VEGANISM
Hafsa Achilyah
Abouri, 2SR.
INDEX
• What is Veganism?
-Environmental Protection
Health and Nutrition: Many people who turn vegan are first drawn to
it because of its tremendous long-term health benefits; and no, you
can't get a protein deficiency by being a healthy vegan since you can
get all the nutrients you need from a plant-based diet. All protein is
initially made by plants because only plants have the ability to take
nitrogen from the air, break those molecules apart and incorporate
that nitrogen into aminoacids and then make protein; any animal
protein is recycled plant protein. The only nutrient that you can't get
on a plant-based diet is vitamin B12; this vitamin it's not made by
plants neither by animals but by little microbes that blanket the earth
and because of the way we live in our sanitized world, unless you're
eating bacteria-contaminated foods, we need to get a source of B12
somewhere else, and the healthiest, cheapest and safest source are
vitamin B12 fortified foods or supplements.
To help understand why animal products are not healthy I'll explain
the health risks of consuming red and processed meats, poultry, fish,
eggs and dairy.
Red and processed meats: Eating these foods can cause
diabetes and cancer; shocking, right? Since children we have been told
that “we need meat for protein “and that its consumption is healthy,
but the WHO classifies processed meat as a Group One carcinogen,
the same group as cigarettes, asbestos and plutonium, and red meat
as a Group Two carcinogen.
The World Health Organization has also looked at over 800 studies
from 10 different countries finding a direct link to consuming
processed meat and cancer. The experts concluded that each 50-gram
portion of processed meat eaten daily increases the risk of colorectal
cancer by 18%. Moreover, these animal products can also cause
diabetes, but let's explain what diabetes is in the first place; Diabetes
is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose (sugar) is too high.
Sugar is a carbohydrate; this means that our body either stores it in
our muscles and our liver or burns it. The problem is that when we
consume to many saturated fats (only found in animal products) they
build up into the blood and cause insulin resistance, (insulin is a
hormone made by the pancreas that helps glucose get into your cells
to be used for energy) which means that the sugar can't get into your
cells where it belongs and so it stays in your blood. I like to call this
the “Diabetes Myth”, because most people think that this disease is
caused by sugar, when in reality it's animal products (saturated fats).
Poultry: The Food and Drug Administration has admitted that
chicken meat is filled with arsenic, a highly poisonous chemical that is
four times more toxic than mercury. The substance is given to chickens
for quicker weight gain and less feeding, and it also enhances the pink
colouring in raw meat. When ingested, arsenic can lead to skin, liver,
kidney, lung and bladder cancer. Many people swap red meats for
chicken in a bid to lower their cholesterol levels and be healthier, but
poultry can have the same impact on cholesterol as red meat. In the
U.S. about 97% of retail chicken breast is contaminated with
dangerous bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella.
Eggs: Eggs come from chicken menstruation and come out of their
cloaca; not so appetizing now, right? They sound disgusting and are
disgusting; about 60% of the calories in eggs are from fat (much of
which is saturated fat). Eggs are also loaded with cholesterol (about
200 miligrams for an average-size egg). That's more than double the
amount in a Big Mac and this fat and cholesterol contribute to heart
disease. Eating eggs has also been connected to developing certain
types of cancer such as colon, rectal and prostate. Eggs have never
been healthy, but 200 years ago they were “less unhealthy”. This is
because hens weren't feed so many antibiotics; back then an average
hen would produce around 12 eggs per year, today, chicken coops
produce 350 eggs per year; does this sound natural or healthy to you?
Dairy: I've found this article from the SaveInstitute that I think
explains very well the Milk Myth: “Cows milk is custom-designed for
calves but somehow, thanks to our creative ingenuity and perhaps
related to our ancient survival needs, we adopted the dubious habit
of drinking another specie's milk “.
” Like any other animal protein-rich food, milk is acidifying. Because
of this, it triggers a protective biological reaction to neutralize the
damaging acidic protein before it reaches the kidneys. The body is
designed for survival, so it sacrifices bone density to protect the
kidneys and urinary tract by using the most available source of acid
neutralizer found in the bones. So even though milk contains calcium,
our body ends up removing that mineral from our bones”.
This is just from one of the many articles and studies that talk about
the direct link between dairy and osteoporosois. It's also not very
difficult to understand that humans shouldn't consume dairy products
when approximately 65% of the human population is lactose
intolerant. It also doesn't seem like a coincidence that the countries
with the highest consumption of milk (the U.S., England. Finland and
Sweden) are also the countries with the highest rate of osteoporosis.

Morbid Obesity
Symptoms
The main symptom of morbid obesity is having a BMI of 35 or
higher and obesity-related health problems, such as diabetes or
hypertension. other symptoms are:
excess fat that is built up around the body
being easily winded
difficulty walking
trouble breathing
Complications
When a person is morbidly obese, they have an increased risk of developing
additional diseases and conditions. These related conditions can be
debilitating or even deadly and include:
heart disease
abnormal blood lipid counts
reproductive issues
Type 2 diabetes.
Conclusion
Sincerely, the best way to prevent obesity is through diet and
exercise. A healthful diet combined with regular, moderately
intense exercise is ideal.
