Dietary principles of naturopathy
Naturopathy promotes consuming foods in their natural and unprocessed forms. It emphasizes eating a diet that is 80% alkaline (from fruits and vegetables) and 20% acidic (from proteins and carbohydrates). The document outlines the concepts of diet in naturopathy, including eliminative, soothing, and constructive diets used in naturopathic treatment plans. It also discusses general rules for healthy living, basic principles of diet therapy, foods to avoid, and foods that are beneficial to health according to naturopathic principles.
The principles of food combining
This document discusses the principles of food combining. It defines what is considered a fruit versus a vegetable from both culinary and botanical perspectives. It also discusses digestion factors like pH levels that impact how different foods are broken down. The key idea is that food combining is important because foods digest at different rates and require different digestive environments, so they should be eaten together in complementary groups. E.G. White statements encourage returning to God's original diet of natural plant foods and avoiding combining too many different foods at once to aid proper digestion.

This can help reduce blood sugar and insulin levels and cause significant weight loss, especially from the abdominal area. To enter ketosis, one must limit net carbs to 20-50 grams per day by eating foods low in carbs like meat, fish, eggs, non-starchy vegetables, nuts and seeds, and high-fat dairy while avoiding foods high in carbs like grains, fruits, legumes, and sugar. Benefits of a keto diet include reduced appetite, weight loss, improved cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and reduced risk

Weight Loss
1) Losing weight is important for older women's health as being overweight can lead to diabetes, reduced lifespan, organ damage, and some cancers.
2) During menopause, estrogen levels decrease making it easier for older women to lose weight compared to younger women. However, metabolism also slows with age.
3) To lose weight safely, older women should eat a diet of moderate calories with plenty of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates while being physically active and monitoring their progress.
Losing weight is harmful for older women
1) Losing weight is important for older women's health as being overweight can lead to diabetes, reduce life expectancy, and interfere with organ function.
2) While metabolism slows with age, older women can still lose weight by reducing daily calorie intake slightly and preparing home-cooked meals.
3) Physical activity should include light exercise like walking while limiting high-impact activities, and protein intake with meals helps maintain muscle mass during weight loss.

Sprouts
Sprouted seeds are completely natural and are known as “whole foods” because they contain both protein and fiber as well as valuable minerals and vitamins.
Processed foods
Processed foods have been altered from their natural state for safety reasons (e.g. pasteurization) and for convenience (e.g. fast foods and boxed meals). The methods used for processing foods include canning, freezing, refrigeration, dehydration, and aseptic processing.
Processed foods lead to many chronic diseases and health conditions that are currently plaguing the nation.
Food changes
The foods we eat provide the necessary nutrients to the body. These nutrients enable the cells in the body to function, and are essential for growth and good health. The adage, “You are what you eat,” is a perfect way to describe the relationship between food and health.
Cell structure and food balance
Fermentation is the chemical transformation of organic substances into simpler compounds with the help of enzymes and complex organic catalysts. These enzymes and organic catalysts are produced by microorganisms such as bacteria, molds, and yeasts.
Enzymes break down complex organic molecules into smaller compounds and nutrients.
Gluten and food substitutes
Gluten is protein found in foods like bread, pasta, noodles, cookies, fried vegetables, and many more. If you are intolerant to gluten, your body creates antibodies.
To bake or to broil
Most people are aware that there is a difference between fried, baked, boiled, or grilled foods. However, few recognize the nutritional value of foods based on the method used to prepare them.

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.share - Lions, tigers, AI and health misinformation, oh my!.pptx

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Food combining
- 1. Food Combining Food combining refers to the combination of foods that are compatible with each other in terms of digestive chemistry. Food combining is a basic component of optimal nutrition because it allows the body to digest and utilize the nutrients in our foods to their fullest extent. Foods require different digestion. Mixing the wrong foods can lead to stomach upset, gas, bloating, and other digestive ails. Food combination is based on the theory that easy digestion is generated by combining foods that have the same digestion time. Also, different foods need different digestive enzymes to digest the food. Some acid based enzymes and some alkaline based enzymes are needed to digest food properly. However, if both come into contact at the same time, they neutralize each other and stop digestion. DON’TS OF FOOD COMBINING Carbohydrate foods and acid foods should not be eaten at the same meal. Bread, rice, and potatoes should not be taken with lemons, pineapples, tomatoes, or any other sour fruits. Fruit acids prevent carbohydrate digestion and cause fermentation. Do not eat two concentrated proteins together. Avoid meat and eggs, cheese and eggs, cheese and nuts, and nuts and meat combinations. Each protein requires different digestive juices and different times for digestion.
- 2. Acid fruits and proteins should not be eaten at the same time. Oranges, lemons and pineapples should not be eaten with meat, eggs, etc. Do not eat concentrated protein and carbohydrates at the same meal. Nuts, meat, eggs, cheese with potatoes, as well as bread and cereals should be avoided. Starch and sugars should not be combined. Honey and other sweeteners don’t mix with cereals and potatoes. Sugar with cereal ferments the food in the digestive tract. Melons cannot be combined with any other foods. This is because melons decompose very easily. Avoid desserts, especially after meals. Desserts eaten after meals digest and, ultimately, ferment because bacteria turn them into alcohols and acetic acid. Drink water only before meals. Drinking water during meals or soon after meals will dilute the digestive juices. Fats and oils cannot be combined with proteins. If you want to stay healthy and reduce the risk of various health problems like cancer, inflammation, and indigestion problems, beware of how food combinations impact digestion for optimal health and nutrition! ____________________________________________________________ ___________ Dr. Fred Bisci is an organic and raw food nutritionist with over 40 years of experience helping people improve longevity and reduce the risk of diet related illnesses.
