holiday syndrome

postganglionic syndrome

"Sina female" An Interview with Dr. West Wood

2010-2-5

Spring has finally arrived, it will be inviting guests gifts, feast carnival, and even through the night indulgence. You will start day and night, "a little more than 4": eat more, drink more, smoked more, sleep more, moving less, become excessive eating, personal impermanence, forget crafts. If you eat lots of sugar and starch foods, fried foods, alcohol and tobacco and coffee intake of toxins and heat surplus, while the nutrition and lack of exercise, you may be a "holiday (after) syndrome", including "a comprehensive fatigue disease "," metabolic syndrome "or" anxiety syndrome "and so on.

fatigue syndrome

Many people have this kind of experience, usually to go to work feeling fortunate to have a weekend or holidays feel more tired. In the past years of eating junk food, I will astringent eye headache, backache, listlessness, unresponsiveness. This phenomenon usually have, but during weekends or holidays often become more obvious or serious.

This is a strange phenomenon: Why you do not do manual labor, but back pain, whole body fatigue? Why, when you rest or relax, but feel even more tired than usual at work then?

It turned out that we have long sat in the office, the lack of aerobic exercise, the body's oxygen supply shortage, muscle cells can not be sugar-burning, not anaerobic glycolysis occurred burning the sugar, producing lactic acid, resulting in muscle soreness. Coupled with modern office is usually sealed, indoor oxygen scarcity; the modern diet contains large amounts of sugar and starch, into the body are the formation of glucose, lactic acid inside the muscles doubled. When a large number of sugar into the brain to form lactic acid, you will feel a headache astringent eye, irritability, unresponsiveness.

The reason why you feel more tired when at rest, because rest of your exercise less, while the intake of sugar and starch may be more, which might be formed in the body work more than usual, lactic acid accumulation.

To understand this truth, eliminating festivals fatigue syndrome is very simple, the key is little more than sugar, oxygen, eat less hyperactivity, specific points are as follows:

First
A 24-hour window you need to ensure that ventilation, whether home or office, whether in summer or winter, the winter can be opened smaller;

Second,
Do not eat or less sugar and starch, diet with fish, meat, eggs, raw vegetables, fruits and nuts such as a green light foods mainly carbs;

Third,
Eat no more than Qicheng eat each day, eat two to three meals a day, eat, or eat snacks (fruit, except);

Fourth,
Doing aerobic exercise per day 1-2 hours or more, in motion an active rest, be able to walk without driving a car, be able to climb stairs without elevators, doing low-carbon pioneers, cross-carbs organic life;

Fifth
Multi-dimensional multi-vitamin mineral supplement, coenzyme Q10 and grape seed extract and other antioxidants;

Sixth
Do not sit a long time to maintain a relaxed position, if necessary, to do massage therapy and sauna hyperthermia.

metabolic syndrome

Many people in peacetime to overeating, indigestion, abdominal distension, diarrhea or constipation, falling into the future likely to translate into obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, high blood sugar, fatty liver, alcohol liver disease or gout. These issues are called "metabolic syndrome", they may further develop into diabetes, heart disease, stroke, or fatal chronic diseases such as cirrhosis of the liver. There is no doubt that these issues in the festival will become more prominent and severe. If in the North for the New Year, heart attacks and strokes, and death will be a marked increase in the opportunity.

Why is there digestive problems and metabolic barrier? We usually think this is a result of eating and drinking, lavish meals are to blame. However, this argument does not explain why some people eat and drink while some others will not? My research found that if your diet which contains a considerable amount of sugar and starch, especially sugar, rice, wheat flour and other "three white food", you will be significant fluctuations in blood sugar, low blood sugar when hungry unbearable, sharp drink binge eating. If only one person to eat meat, and his blood glucose and appetite will be very stable, few catties a day, eating meat, eating and drinking does not occur; if he has to eat meat they eat rice, he would eat, when to eat meat more than the individual and more meat, there eat too much. A person is only sugar and starch, eat too much may also occur. Experiments show that a person eats 20 pounds a day or more can be sugar.

Wine is a variant of sugar, that is the product of fermentation of sugar. Anaerobic glycolysis generates lactic acid and sugar, like sugar, fermented into wine is carried out in the anaerobic condition. With different sugar and fat, alcohol can not be used by muscle cells only in the liver, and entirely by the liver for metabolism. Wine will not only hurt the liver, but will also damage the stomach, intestines and pancreas, consumption of vitamins minerals, especially vitamin B family. So, you better not drinking, if the drink, choose a natural brewed wine, such as wine, rice wine (rice wine) or beer.

Therefore, the feast at the table is not a problem, eating and drinking is a problem, the problem is the source of sugar, starch and alcohol. In the eyes of chemists, starch is also a sugar alcohol is a variant of sugar, so they are essentially sugar. A few years ago, I have an interview at the Beijing TV Station said, "We are in a 'sugar era', including sugar, starch, food and wine, is facing a 'sugar disease', including overeating, obesity, '3 Gao ', diabetes, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. "

How to control the diet in order to avoid eating and drinking do? Combination of carbs theory of organic raw food diet and longevity of the elderly, I have summed up the following dietary control 10 Dafa:

1, increasing raw food, cooked less. Raw vegetables as possible.

2, increasing the natural (or organic) whole foods, less common processed food products.

3, an increase of meat, vegetables, fruits and nuts carbs green light (and tubers and coarse grains such as yellow food), reducing sugar and flour and rice and other carbs red light foods.

4, reducing common vegetable oils and condiments, choose cold-pressed, the crude olive oil, camellia oil, linseed oil and natural crude salt.

5, reducing the number of meal times and snacks a day, two to three meals a day, do not eat, or eat snacks (fruit exception).

6, drink plenty of water, drink less, or drink beverages. Remember, the healthiest drink is water.

7, the first drink after a meal; eat fruit and vegetables after a meal; eat raw, after eating cooked.

8, Qi Cheng eat meal to eat no more than, four hours before going to bed at night do not eat or eat something in the morning to get up within 1-2 hours after eating or eat something.

9, do not drink or less alcohol, drink choice wine, rice wine (rice wine) or beer. If 125 ml cup, white wine a day not more than 1 cup wine or rice wine no more than 4 cups per day, no more than 8 cups of beer. Before eating, after drinking, drinking wine slowly.

10
Nutritional supplement chromium films in order to stabilize blood sugar and control appetite, taking L-carnitine in order to accelerate fat burning and weight lipid-lowering intake of milk thistle extract in order to hangover, detoxification, and nourish the liver.

Of course, knowing is one thing, so that is another matter. I have found that most people usually very reasonable, but in "food coloring" in front often become unreasonable. Compared with the ordinary people, long-lived people eat more moderate colors. In the long-lived people, the centenarians diet is more modest, and therefore live longer. For example, the elderly in Bama Yao Wei Bo The new longevity 114 years old, he's eating habits is as follows:

Three meals a day, every meal freeze-frame in the "seven parts saturated" state, on, and never over-eat. Every day, never change. Chinese New Year, where Yao families have the custom of eating supper, but he never does not participate, even if it is a big New Year's Eve, people eat supper waiting for the arrival of the New Year, he is still the elderly afflicted by terrible to sleep he felt. ( "Ecological longevity America", 2006 edition, p. 86)

Anxiety Syndrome

Many people do not want to go to work after the holiday, fear of re-face of the tremendous work pressure, there can not concentrate, anxiety, or insomnia. Why some people can quickly adjust the state of calm under pressure, while others do not? We usually think that this is because each person's personality is different and a priori decision. And I have found that it is not. A person's character and temperament, and his living environment, especially closely related to diet. In the United States to eat junk food, I would frequent insomnia, afraid to face the stress, mood is very unstable, very bad temper. Use of carbs organic raw food and nutritional supplements, I can fell down asleep, one's sleep, mood and temperament has become more stable and began to like to do a public speech, and the more listeners the more enjoyable.

Nutritionists found that excessive intake of sugar or starch will give you irritability, mood swings; a lack of vitamin especially vitamin C, you will be afraid of contacts, not the face of pressure; the lack of minerals, especially calcium and magnesium You will be nervous; the absence of melatonin hormone, you will sleep. Serotonin is the raw material for manufacture of melatonin, tryptophan is the raw material for manufacture of serotonin. Protein-rich foods rich in tryptophan, especially almonds, peanuts, soybeans, oysters, and tuna fish.

In order to eliminate anxiety and insomnia, adjust the "jet lag", or to improve sleep, you can directly add tryptophan derivatives - 5 - hydroxy tryptophan, but should also take Fish Oil (DHA), vitamin B family, vitamin C , calcium, magnesium and other nutrients as well as the products of nitrogen oxide (NO), for example, carbs nutritional NO10. If the tryptophan effect is limited, you can take Valerian roots extracts. Valerian, also known as sleeping grass in Europe, there is a natural sedative effect. If the role of tryptophan and valerian roots are limited, can be directly taking melatonin.

dry season the Spring Festival How to skin care

"Jiankangzhiyou" An Interview with Dr. West Wood
2009 years, January 22

How to dry season the Spring Festival skin care
Spring came, and also gave rise to a "dry spring," the troubles. Spring, dry climate, coupled with the vagaries of the weather, the body of water likely to be lost, resulting in the body metabolism and other physiological disorders, sparking occurs irritability, throat astringent eye, lips and other dry dry spring, "lit" symptom . In the office, the computer pre-professional women seem more susceptible to "Spring dry" effect, leading to dry skin prone to acne, loss of appetite, feelings of irritability. So what better way to quickly resolve this spring, dry spring has brought all kinds of problems? (Please stand to answer about nutrition problems)

1,
Spring dry because if any of them get angry with the human body nutritional deficiencies related to it? What is causing it? Which nutritional deficiencies or inappropriate will be easier to trigger the spring dry women do?

Dr. Nishiki: "Spring dry get angry," including dry skin, scalp increased bleeding nose and throat discomfort, the following main reasons:

A.
Outdoor air humidity in winter and spring, significant decline, especially in the north, such as Beijing, the air humidity from the summer peak of around 80%, down to the lowest point in winter and spring about 20%. The most appropriate body and skin moisture is estimated at more than 45%.

B.
Indoor air humidity generally lower than outdoors, especially in rooms with heating equipment, such as heating, stoves or electric heaters and so on.

C.
In the winter and spring seasons, especially in the north, fresh fruit and vegetables supply and consumption has decreased, so the body of water, vitamins (especially vitamin B and vitamin family C) and high-quality fats (such as DHA) decrease the reserve.

D.
Girls than boys in general love of clean, wash their hands, the skin moisture evaporation and lose any more.

2
Lit the symptoms of dry spring could be nursed back to health through nutrition, to resolve, such as what kind of added nutrients, or what food there could be a goal of women in terms of efficacy among the dry?

Dr. Nishiki: In the winter and spring, we particularly need to add a variety of vitamins, minerals and deep sea fish oil to prevent and cure "lit Zhangdou" to protect skin and hair. For example, to add high-dose vitamin C can be reduced and treatment of epistaxis, high-quality deep sea fish oil supplement can make the skin moist and smooth.

In fact, the winter and spring is also a high incidence of cardio-cerebral vascular diseases and mortality is highest in the season to complement the high-quality multi-vitamin mineral and deep sea fish oil is a very effective control measures.

3
And what about women in terms of practical convenience, it can be to eliminate from the diet nutrition, the impact of dry spring (such as soup spectrum, recipes of food means food or drink, etc.)?

Dr. Nishiki: In the winter and spring, you need to drinking eight cups a day (in summer 10 cups). Remember, no drinks are not a substitute for water. To control the irritating drinks, including coffee, cola, tea and wine, as they are diuretic dehydrating agent, you have a drink, you may urine cups.

Fruit and vegetable juice drinks with the best, we must now squeezed and drunk with dregs to drink. Of course, it is best to eat fresh fruit at the same time, and raw vegetables every day for more than 3-5 times. Types of fruits and vegetables to be rich, do not forget the carrots, apples and broccoli. If for work or travel too busy, you can directly take a comprehensive fruit and vegetable powder. Remember, to choose the vacuum freeze-dried raw fruit and vegetable powder, with no more than 40 degrees of water flushes the clothing.

In the winter and spring, you can also drink soup, especially the soup and bone soup, can afford to add some natural flower glue (dried fish dart). However, the heating time should not cook too long, to avoid the overnight and less water distribution, or nutrient loss is very serious.

Also, do not or reduce smoking, it will make your body loss of moisture and vitamins to make your nasopharynx and skin more dry.

4
In resolving the spring dry, maintenance physical and psychological, what other suggestions you have provided to the majority of professional women reference?

Dr. Nishiki: In addition to adjustment of diet and nutritional supplements in the winter and spring seasons, can be installed in indoor air humidifier, conditions can also be sauna. Remember, do not bathe and wash their hands too frequently, clean, wear gloves and wet hands as soon dry. As the in vivo difference in temperature and humidity, your skin contact with more water, water evaporation and loss of the more, the skin more dry. In fact, the effect of skin care moisturizing cream is very limited, to avoid the evaporation of water is more effective and safe, and save money.

In addition, daily exercise outdoors under the sun for more than half an hour, can promote blood circulation and metabolism. This will not only help maintain shape and physique, but also can improve skin and mood. Because the smooth circulation of blood can nourish the skin to absorb the moisture carried by the blood and nutrition. Sunshine servant in vivo secretion of serotonin will increase, aerobic exercise can promote the synthesis of endorphins, which make you excited and happy. my recent play Sina micro-Bo, cool, very trendy.

Chinese New Year food words

Westwood Dr.

Northern Winter Festival:
Toxins and more than heat, nutrition and lack of exercise!

Spring has finally arrived, it will be inviting guests gifts, feast carnival, sleeping indulgence. You will start day and night, "a little more than 4": eat more, drink more, smoked more, sleep more, moving less. If you eat lots of sugary foods, fried foods, alcohol and tobacco and coffee intake of toxins and heat surplus, while the lack of nutrition and exercise. Finally, you may begin to fluctuations in blood sugar, weight gain, energy decline, glory can not afford.

Scientists have discovered that people at festivals, especially during the winter holidays, more likely to be obese and more prone to "three highs" (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood cholesterol) and easier to increase the diabetes, heart attacks and strokes. Science diet and healthy weight loss can reduce the three-high, to prevent heart disease and stroke. So, you festive than usual in winter than in summer even more the need to control weight, nutritional supplements, management of health!

Easier in winter than in summer there are four main reasons for obesity: increased appetite, increased sleep, decreased metabolism, exercise less, namely, "two by two by." In winter, you not only likely to be obese, but also prone to three high, heart disease and stroke.

Obesity and three people with high blood viscosity, decreased sexual function. -Carbs diet and can let you down three high glory resurgence.
