Different types of milk

Milk is an important source of protein, calcium and vitamin A. There are different types according to their treatment to make it fit for consumption:

The natural one that has not been treated. Marketing is prohibited. If taken, must be boiled twice, at least.

The certificate, which must be consumed in 24 hours, which is derived from farming and, although it has not been heat-treated, has gone through a rigorous control.

The sanitized has been subjected to a temperature that destroys pathogens and must be consumed in 36 hours.

The pasteurized, usually as concentrated milk, need not be boiled, but should be consumed within four days.

The sterile, having been treated at high temperature increases the time consumption of three to six months, and when you remove the water, becomes evaporated milk.

Dairy products fortify teeth

While calcium teeth used for training, this is not its only component; other minerals that exist in smaller proportions involved in its structure.

For all these reasons, today we speak more mineralization of teeth, that calcification of the same. Either way, a diet low in calcium acts negatively on dental health.

For example, cheese, is one of the best ways to get calcium, and one of the most beneficial foods for your teeth. Some cheeses can be very effective in reducing tooth decay, according to some research, the kind of cheese "cheddar" parked helps the remineralization of the tooth surface, and stops development of incipient caries.

In addition, it has also concluded that the cheese helps to rebuild these areas that have begun the process of decay under the action of acids, generated by bacteria that lie on the surface of the teeth to come into contact with food.

Moreover, calcium is important in the diets of pregnant women. The baby's teeth begin to develop between the third and sixth month of pregnancy. And to do this, you need 400 milligrams of calcium in the diet of the mother. If calcium intake is insufficient, the ore will be extracted from the bones of pregnant mothers and not their teeth.

During childhood calcium fortified oral health and also helps build strong jaws, teeth resistant to decay and above all, very healthy gums.

This kind of food, also contains protein, magnesium, phosphorus or a large number of vitamins. Those who have no cholesterol or overweight can consume whole milk products in moderation. While those who follow diets low in calories, have the opportunity to choose those low-fat or directly descremados.

Why analyses are fasting?

Being fasting is desirable to avoid interference that can cause food in identifying the various chemical parameters.
Most ios analysis require prior fasting ranging between eight and ten hours.

The food intake alters blood levels of glucose, albumin, Phosphates, triglycerides and urea; hormones such as insulin and calcilonina, v enzyme transaminase or as phosphatases.
For example, a high-fat meal causes a lurbidez serum that affects the measurement method in the laboratory.

Basically there is an increase of albumin, calcium and phosphorus, and reduce urea, bilirubin and sodium, among others.

How much calcium children need?

Calcium is an essential element: a part of the bones, plays an important role in the smooth muscle tone and the excitability of nerves ios and intervenes in some metabolic processes.

In the first few months does not usually miss. Among the first day and six months of life, the baby needs 400 mg per day, but this amount is provided by breast milk or formula.

From the sixth month until the first year, needs the increase to 600 mg and the baby gets smoothly with two shots of milk and cereals with papillas.

Between one and ten years
Since the year until the tenth birthday, the diet must provide 800 mg of calcium per day.

How do you get?
They provide 140 mg the following dishes: An individual flan, 2 balls of ice cream, a dessert ladle of milk or mousse, 1 yogurt, petit suisse 3, 5 egg yolks, 100 grams of dried figs, a dish tureen vegetables, a dish plenty of spinach beet or broccoli, 1 / 2 cup beaten cocoa, 1 / 2 ration of white sauce, 1 slice of pizza, cheeseburger 1.

They provide 250 mg: A glass of milk, 100 grams of fresh cheese, 30 grams of cheese or feta cheese 30 g Ball, 20 almonds, 100 grams of milk chocolate and sugar, 1 bream or sole medium-sized. Two food in the first group and two of the second covering the need of calcium daily.

Although calcium is essential, we must not atiborrar to small food containing it. An excess of this element can inhibit the absorption of other minerals also important to the agency.

The care of the teeth in the pregnancy

During the pregnancy, the future mom is exposed to important hormone changes because the placenta produces high quantities of estrogen and corpus luteum hormone that in turn, you affect to the oral tissues.

For example, one of the buccal consequences in this period is the gingivitis, as well as the famous tumor of the pregnancy that he/she appear in many women.

Not it is true the hypothesis that globally it was managed and you are still many they assure, that in this period the calcium of the denture is deleted, loosening the dental pieces. The calcium is present in the teeth in a crystalline stable form that don't allow that you incorporate to the systemic flow to cover a demand of calcium. Although you are not a loss of skeletal calcium in the pregnancy, the bony quality of those who are pregnant is not the same one that those that he are not, being much bigger that of last o'clock.

The dental cavity not necessarily increases during the pregnancy, although the increases of the intake dietaria of carbohydrates to cover the energy demands can generate a risk bigger than cavity in a pregnant woman or, in the period of nursing when having bigger quantity of appropriate substrate for the organisms cariogénicos.

The appropriate carefulness of the health and the mother's nutrition during the pregnancy, they can have significant effects on the oral health of herself, and of the boy to be born. In societies with economic severe difficulties, the maternal malnutrition has had consequences like the later malformation of enamel in the children, well-known as odontoclasia.

The mother's illness and the environmental exhibition can be in the boy's deformations congenital craneofaciales. The ullage of maternal appropriate pregnancy care predisposes the women a premature childbirth and to underweight babies when being born.

The pregnant ones with illness significant priodontal, they can have more susceptibility to give birth underweight babies when being born that the mothers with a healthy periodoncio. These babies, they can be susceptible to disturbances of the qualification and dental development; and ulterior late eruption.

The formation of the teeth in the fetus, it can be affected by different causes. When recommending preventative measures and to take a boarding proactivo in the initial stages of the pregnancy, the professional odontologists can guarantee a better result so much in health for the future mom like your son stops.

Kidney Stones

The kidney stones in fact are not formed in the kidney, but in the urinary channels. They are due to the precipitation you usually substantiates existing cristaloides in the urination in oversaturation state.

When the size of the crystalline precipitate concretions is very petty, forming a powder epsecie that you edimenta in the excreted urination, we have the calls "sands." If the crystalline masses form concretions of more size, they are described as stones or calculations.

According to your chemical composition, the calculations are usually: of oxalates, of uric acid or of phosphates and carbonates.

The stone formation can be due to many lawsuits. You are sometimes about general illnesses, of metabolic type that you/they give place to an urinary excessive deletion of certain substances, facilitating your precipitation. This mechanism can appraise it in the trend to the dormación of calculations that exist in the drop and in the hyperparathyroidism. In other occasions, the calculations taducen a stasis urinal or infections of the urinary channels; in these cases they are of phosphates and carbonates. Finally, the sour urinations facilitate the precipitation of the uric acid and of your salts (urates) and of the calcium oxalate.

The treatment of the urinary calculations will be, in general, physician. You will only be indebted the surgical intervention when a calculation located in the uréter puts in hazard to the kidney, or when they are responsible for haemorrhages or of relapsing infections.

The diet will depend on the chemical composition of the calculations. In the uric acid calculations, they will be prohibited the liver, the kidney, the pig and the alcohol; and the diets will be recommended in fruits and vegetables; these patients alkaline (bicarbonatadas) waters will also ingest, to diminish the acidity of the urination and with it to increase the solubility of the urates. In the trend to the oxalic stone formation, the spinaches are outlawed, beets, dry figs, paprika, cocoa and you will combat the hiperacedéz. To avoid the excessive deletion of calcium for the urination, you will decrease the ingestion of milk and derivates (cheese, curd, butter, etc.); they will also be prohibited the alkaline ones, to avoid the precipitation of the calcium, and vitamin D won't be administered, because you favor the absorption from the ion calcium to level of the intestine, with what your rate rises in blood and in urination.

Osteoporosis

The substance intercelular, fundamentally of the bony tissue, of protean nature, you are impregnated of calcic salts. To they owe it the bones your hardness. In circumstances of normality, this protean substance is totally saturated of citric salts, in such a way that we can say that in the normal bone it doesn't fit" more calcium.

As much in the osteoporosis as in the osteomalacia, the total quantity of existing calcium in the bones is below the normal one. But the mechanism that produce this deficit is different in both syndromes.

In the osteoporosis a decrease of the protean substance exists fundamentally of the bone. The bony trabéculas is usually impregnated of calcic salts, but they are thinner. The decrease of the quantity of calcium of the bone is due to the decrease of the fundamental substance that retain it. In the bone osteopórtico, like in the normal bone, you don't fit more calcium; but in that, the total quantity of calcium is diminished, to be inferior to the normal one the volume of the bony tissue.

Outwardly the osteoporotic bones are accustomed to being of normal, but given morphology the fine of your constituent trabéculas, they are very brittle. The most important consequences in the osteoporosis are the spontaneous fractures or caused by minimum traumatisms, and the deformations and levelings of the vertebras.

The trend to the fractures of the old men, especially of the neck of the femur, and the decreases of stature, with appearance of kyphosis that are observed in the same ones, they are due to osteosporosis (senile osteosporosis).

Another lawsuit of osteoporosis is the one that one observes in the male hipogonadal. The sexual masculine hormone is indispensable in the formation of the protean fundamental substance of the bone. The ullage of secretion of this hormone, for castration or for illness of the testicles, you drive to serious osteosporosis.

They also give place to osteoporosis the excesses of hormones cortisónicas. These hormones have, in the bone, a counteraction to that of the androgens (sexual masculine hormones): they impoverish the bone of protean substance. A hiperproducción of hormonal substances of share cortisónica exists on the part of the adrenal ones in the Cushing syndrome. Important osteoporosis can also appear, with fractures to minimum traumatisms, in subject to those that, to suffer bronchial asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, etc., they are administered drugs cortisónicos in excessive quantity and during too prolonged time. Given this hazard, the treatment with these medicines debit side to always be controlled by the physician.
