The aversion to new foods can be measured by the Food Neophobia Scale, developed by psychologists Patricia Pliner and Karen Hobden, in 1992 and consists of ten phrases that the subject must rank as one to seven is more or less agree what they said.

For example: "I am always trying new foods and different", "I am afraid to eat things that I have not eaten before" or "ethnic foods look too weird to eat." The neófobos food not only prove less new plates, but they get less pleasure to try them ... although they like.

This has led to the team of specialists such as Robert A. Frank, of the University of Cincinnati, USA, to determine that what they are looking really fans of all is to try to meet their continuing search for new developments in the field of food, as do all other fields of vetch.

It is not unusual for the group of neofílicos especially appreciate the spicy, meat and alcoholic beverages, while the supporters of neófobos are more casual platito of Swiss. Carried to an extreme, the neofobia food can cause serious damage to health.

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the world after 35 years. Within these, acute myocardial infarction occupies a prominent place.

We offer advice to the principal, since childhood, can prevent this serious problem.

- Childhood obesity for example, must be treated with equal or greater concern than in adults. Like them, is also seeing children in cases of Type II diabetes, cholesterol and hypertension. Not corrected them in due course, there will be havoc on the future of small.
Today we are facing a global epidemic of obesity, and people have not taken a real awareness about the seriousness of this matter.
With the proper treatment of obesity, most of the time everything is normalized, while not necessary to continue with many of the medications.

- Hypertension is another important point. Eating a healthy and proper diets in which the predominant vegetable and fruits, milk, lean red or white meat, water, and the practice of aerobic exercise (such as walking, swimming or biking), favored treatment asymptomatic disease.

- Diabetes. We refer to the non-insulin dependent diabetes, or adult, which we began to see from the approximately 50 years of age, and also associated with obesity.
The pancreas is an organ that secretes a hormone called insulin, to which among other things, encourages the entry of carbohydrates to the body's cells. But the capital of insulin that owns the pancreas is not infinite and over time can manifest itself with impaired fasting glycemia, helping to determine a state of pre-diabetes or insulin resistance.
This is due to make a proper diet and of course, exercise.

- Cholesterol. The high cholesterol levels, is without doubt one of the most terrible risk factors. Such as diabetes, but is seen in obese patients, can also be seen in patients with normal weight or thin people on. Here is a basic diet low in fat and physical exercise, in addition to the medication which, of course, provide the doctor.

Hamburgers nutritious?

Better than a hamburger?
A diet of sandwiches, according to experts, is more varied and balanced one based on 'burgers' or sandwiches.

• Specialists have warned repeatedly of the drawbacks associated with abuse of hamburgers. These provide a great feeling
satiety, but its effect happens very soon because of its high fat content coupled with its high energy.

• The bread is more like a hamburger bun that at a normal sandwich and, therefore, also has a higher fat content.

• The sandwiches, sandwiches made with bread mold, are more caloric, even if they have nutritional properties similar to those of normal bread. Its main drawback is the padding, which can not be as varied that it would be necessary given the small size and its weakness.

• According to nutrólogos, a balanced diet should be between 10 and 15 percent protein, 30 to 35 per cent fat and 55 or 60 percent of carbohydrates. This ratio is not met in the case of hamburgers or sandwiches, but in the sandwiches, since they can refill almost all products.

• If we have to eat many days' sandwich ', the chances of them allow us to alternative way to keep the nutritional balance needed for health. To avoid shortages of vegetables or sugar can accompany them with a good salad or a dessert.

What should eat the diabetic?

The daily diet is a vital aspect for controlling diabetes. British partnership against diabetes, as well as other international health agencies, have reached the consensus to recommend the following points to prevent or control diabetes as the case may be:

• Avoid at all costs the simple sugar. In other words, stop eating foods such as chocolates, candies, cakes and soft drinks.

• Reduce salt consumption.

• Alimentato frequently with foods rich in fiber such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

• Eat lean cut of meat (no fat), chicken and fish. Besides bean, peas, beans and chickpeas.
As you may have noticed, the above recommendations are the same for a diabetic than for a healthy person, this is because these items represent the basis of a healthy diet.

The practice of physical exercise is also largely beneficial for the diabetic, because it appears that the level of sugar in their blood tend to be controlled better and be burned to reduce a larger number of calories. However, you must always do so under the supervision of a physician than those submitted for sudden changes in levels of blood sugar and results for the year are counterproductive.

We recommend blood tests conducted on a regular basis during adulthood (every two to five years), to monitor levels of blood sugar, and to take any anomaly in the letters before they present diabetes.

Recalls that it can begin as a simple hypoglycemia (abnormally low levels of blood sugar) which indicates that there is a problem in controlling sugar in the body and insulin secretion. Correcting time, it is feasible to spend more years without being present or without diabetes who never actually do so.

If you do not want to be a vegetarian, you can still eating red meat cuts in fat-free, skinless chicken and fish preference. But be sure to do enough aerobic exercise to remove harmful substances from your body.

How long you take.
The rule indicates that we need the same number of months alimentándote healthy, that the years you were consuming junk food. For example, if you eat foods high in cholesterol for ten years, you need ten months leading to a healthy diet combined aerobic exercise to recover.

Diet of pregnant hypertensive

There, as in the case of diabetes, hypertension prior to pregnancy and other "induced" by him (toxemia hypertensive or pre-eclampsia).

In either case, the dietary supplement is only a general therapeutic measures, which usually consist of rest and the administration of antihypertensive drugs allowed during pregnancy.

Just as diuretics are contraindicated by the imbalances that determines its use in the fetus, nor salt should be excluded entirely from the diet, since none of these measures can prevent the aggravation of a poorly controlled hypertension.
It shows all natural foods, which should not be added to table salt, prioritize the use of those with low sodium in his replacement.

In no way is totally exclude foods containing sodium in its composition, as a minimum contribution is even necessary.
The bread and certain mineral waters have a high sodium content, as well as cold cuts, canned (including candy), pizzas and sausages.

If you want to further reduce calorie intake, the sugar substitute that can be used is the aspartano or pure saccharine, as cyclamates are always combined in the form of sodium cyclamate.

Diet of pregnant diabetic

There is a particular clinical form of diabetes, known as "gestational", which is one that first occurs during pregnancy.

These are women, unsuspected of contracting this disease, which usually give birth to babies with great weight and a higher incidence of fetal perinatal mortality (towards the end of pregnancy and in the first days of life).

So important is this problem of modern obstetrics, from different forums of scientific opinion has suggested the desirability of conducting an "overload test glucose" to all pregnant women to average the second trimester of pregnancy.
If it is a known diabetic, the criteria for treatment (especially dietary measures) and monitoring, are similar.

In cases where a positive result, diet therapy is indicated for the immediate treatment as a fundamental element of this evil.
It should indicate regimes no more than 1,800 calories daily, or just over half of what is normally administered to a pregnant. And split into six daily meals input from these caloñas to avoid abrupt changes of dosajes blood sugar.

Of course, in any way, be included sugars in the diet of pregnant diabetic. There is no contraindication for some synthetic sweeteners (saccharin or cyclamates) or natural (aspartano).

The diet should not contain more than 50 per cent contribution of carbohydrates, complemented by a moderate physical exercise and not obtained the expected reduction in blood glucose (blood sugar), should begin treatment with insulin in early . If controlled properly, can lead to diabetic pregnant term and give birth to a normal baby.

The family history of diabetes, babies born large and perinatal deaths, are signals to suspect the possible presence of this disease.

Quality of food in pregnancy

It is important to take into account the quality of food. Protein, minerals (especially calcium, iron, magnesium and fluoride) and some vitamin complex, as folic acid and vitamins A, B12, C, D and others, must be present in the daily diet.

This is sufficient if it makes, in addition, 60 grams of protein and at least not less than 2,000 calories in total. Milk, ideally should not participate in amounts less than half a litre every day. Of course you can offset this amount including yogurts, cheeses and other food preparations containing it (flan, ice cream, etc.).. The dairy bring a bit of everything: calories, protein and calcium, among other nutritional elements.

While along the pregnancy Theory increases in the caloric requirement, is no less true that the activity decreases significantly by the largest volume it occupies the abdomen, particularly the position to be taken to offset the imbalance that the weight of pregnancy produces in front of the spine and fatigue by not being able to sleep comfortably and having to charge slopes greater weight to become accustomed. As a result, since practical purposes, it is sufficient to maintain the same diet without variants for nine months.

Vomiting may affect the first quarter producing a low weight when they are very frequent and intense-which only affects a minority portion of the total pregnant women.

In most cases, by their quantity, are not sufficient to determine a malnutrition. Given the doubt, always imposing the immediate consultation of the obstetrician. Fraction diet in six meals a day helps to control vomiting.
