TO FEED WELL

To feed well makes it possible to be maintained in good health, to work effectively and to avoid the transmission of certain anomalies to our children.

To develop harmoniously and enjoy one of a sufficient energy, our organism needs a good food balance, i.e. a daily contribution necessary and sufficient including/understanding 40 to 60 % of glucids, 20 to 30 % of lipids, 10 to 15 % of proteins, water of course, mineral salts and the vitamins.

The beginning of the troubles
An excess of fat consumption will lead to a unattractive catch of weight, the flabby tissues, the flabby tissues concentrating in certain areas of the body, caricaturing the silhouette and destroying with blow on the guns of the beauty!!!

Apart from this inesthetism, health is threatened by these greasy deposits which thread inside the blood vessels and prepare with patience and tenacity of serious troubles, such as the infarct of the myocardium, the cerebral vascular accidents or arteritis of the lower limbs.

The enemy number 1
The provider of such disasters, hided at the bottom of the fat, ...
... is not other than the illustrated cholesterol.

It is however an essential substance at the organism in normal quantity; without him, there cannot be correct cellular development, certain hormonal substances thus as well as biliary salts useful for digestion cannot be produced.

Therefore, all the problem is that of the cholesterol excess which must before be very fought by an adapted food.

Recall of chemistry
The continuation of our remarks can appear unpleasing but will clarify of a new day (for some) the medical terms useful for the comprehension of the things.

First recall
Fat or lipids that we ingest are mainly composed of fatty acids. The fatty acids in question are of two types:
- saturated fatty acids, of animal origin, solids at ambient temperature, rich in cholesterol.
- Unsaturated fatty acids, from vegetable origin, liquids at ambient temperature and deprived of cholesterol.

Second recall
Normally insoluble fats in blood will circulate while binding to proteins, one calls them the lipoproteins. The HDL (High Density Lipoproteins) will transport the cholesterol along the arterial wall towards the liver and the intestine. They are thus protective.

Conversely, the LDL (Low Density Lipoproteins) will allow the transport of the cholesterol towards the wall arterial: DANGER.

Third recall
TRIGLYCERIDES: these substances are also lipids which circulate in blood. It was thought a long time that the triglycerides do not represent a particular danger.
But currently of many scientific investigations showed a very frequent relation between the cardiovascular accidents and the rise in the rate of triglycerides in blood.

One consider that a rate higher than 2g/liter is dangerous. This anomaly meets especially at the obese ones and the alcoholics ones.

It reacts very well to the diet which will be based obviously on hunting for animal fat but especially on the suppression of simple sugars.

Thanks to these some explanations, we are persuaded that the words cholesterol and triglycerides as well as initials LDL and HDL do not have any more secret for you.

Let us pass to practical work by observing the three blood analysis who will follow:
Analyze 1: a patient without cholesterol anomaly. No the comment.... it is perfect
Analyze 2: the same patient before a diet
Analyze 3: the same patient but after a diet correctly followed after 3 months.

The comparison of these documents is limpid:
- total cholesterol passed from 2,70 g/l to 2,0 g/l.
- bad cholesterol (LDL) fell of 2,09 g/l with 1,36 g/l well below the maximum threshold of 1,60 g/l.
- Even the excessive uric acid did not resist to this diet!

Our prime objective is thus obtained at the end of 4 months... but, it is necessary to persevere.

Notice for people who love mathematics.
The level of cholesterol, triglycerides and the HDL are measurable in blood.
Conversely, the rate of bad cholesterol (LDL), which cannot appear on result of an analysis of laboratory, does not measure themselves but is calculated.

LDL = Cholesterol - HDL - triglycerids/5

The LDL must be lower than 1,60 gram per liter.

Checking:
1st analysis:
LDL = 2,70 - 0.47 - 0,84/5 = 2,09
2nd analysis:
LDL = 2,01 - 0.47 - 0.85/5 = 1,36

What it was necessary to show!!!
