Different consequences of the diets

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

There are many diets that are intended for healthy adults and promising a more or less imminent “destruction” of extra pounds. And some of them really help to lose weight for several weeks or months and don’t cause much harm to the health.
Such diets are good for weight loss before or after the holidays or other similar circumstances. However many nutritionists don’t advise to get involved in the diets for more than a month.
The thing is that the constant “dieting” as self-restraint in the diet and deprivation of the body most of the various vitamins and minerals that the human body gets only a balanced and varied diet can lead to serious negative consequences.
Moreover, similar effects can be observed not only for the body, but also for human health. That’s too much commitment to the various diets leads to problems with digestive system, diseases of the teeth and gums and so on, up to serious eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia.
Nutritionists insist on a balanced diet of people in particular – people with excess weight. And, of course, you need to do sport.
Without exercise, virtually any attempt to lose weight, is doomed to failure, which is important for both sexes and all ages.
If there is extra weight for no apparent reason and does not go away, It is also recommended to be diagnosed on the various diseases that can have similar symptoms.

Scientists from University of Indiana in Bloomington (Minnesota, the USA), having investigated 276 twins of a male, have found out that the Mediterranean diet is capable to reduce risk of development of diseases of heart even in the presence of genetic predisposition.

The Mediterranean style of a food is based on the use of fish, vegetables, fruit, cereals, sour-milk products, low-fat meat, olive oil and an alcohol small amount. Till now was considered that such diet is extremely useful to health as reduces in an organism level of “bad” cholesterol.

Results of work of the American experts have shown that at the men eating on-sredizemnomorski, variability of a warm rhythm (heart rate variability, HRV) above, than at adhering to the western style of a food. Variability of a warm rhythm represents change in time intervals between two consecutive reductions of heart. The it is less HRV, the above risk of occurrence of a coronary (ischemic) heart trouble and sudden death.

But not all so is unequivocal. Employees of University of Rochester in New York assert that the Mediterranean diet is useful not all. As they said, some patients, suffering heart attacks, are carriers of special genetic mutations; in their blood the considerable quantity high density (“good” cholesterol) which destroys unhealthy transfats in the eaten food contains. Besides, at them it is a lot of fiber CRP causing inflammatory processes in an organism. Because of a unique set of genes high density it is transformed to “bad” cholesterol, therefore at such patients the Mediterranean diet can raise risks of occurrence still bigger heart troubles.
