95% of Spaniards do not eat the five daily pieces of fruit, vegetables or vegetables recommended by doctors. Little by little, Spanish households are abandoning the Mediterranean Diet. It eats worse and often adopts diets that can compromise health. This change in eating habits may result in cellular inflammation - silent inflation- which is at the origin of many chronic diseases, because it alters the body's hormonal mechanisms and activates genes
The excessive consumption of certain saturated and trans fats, the imbalance between the intake of Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids, the high consumption of refined carbohydrates, the low consumption of anti-inflammatory polyphenols and the imbalance of the intestinal microbiota can trigger this inflammatory response, which is silent because it is continuous and does not cause pain.
However, cellular inflammation is behind diseases such as obesity, Type2 diabetes, vascular problems, certain types of cancer, metabolic syndrome, allergies, depression, and anxiety, some neurological diseases and all processes completed in “itis”.
Anti-inflammatory nutrition
According to the Doctor of Pharmacy Irene Santacruzdietitian and nutritionist SYNLAB, “correct anti-inflammatory nutrition helps prevent diseases, promotes mental clarity and performance, improves the physical appearance, activates metabolism – less weight, feeling of satiety and more energy – and has an anti-aging effect.”
Anti-inflammatory nutrition is based on the control -in each meal- of carbohydrates, the type of fats -moderating the consumption of saturated fats and avoiding trans- and getting the balance of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. In addition, it should be very rich in vegetables and fruits of many colors -polifenoles-, consuming between 8 and 10 rations of 100 grams a day. It is completed with the intake of a lot of dietary prebiotic fiber, legumes, nuts and with the control of abdominal fat.
“Mediators who control inflammation in the immune system, known as eicosanoids, come biochemically from dietary fats: essential fatty acids,” says the doctor. “The trans fats of the diet must be removed, the consumption of meat must be controlled, the use of extra virgin olive oil, the consumption of olives, avocados and nuts, and fish and other sea products, avoiding those that offer the greatest presence of contaminants such as swordfish, shark, red tuna and lucio. As for milk, it is best to consume fermented derivatives such as yogurts, Kéfir, cheese, etc.”
Know what fats are eaten
The intake of fats relates almost always to overweight but, in fact, its consumption is essential to the health. In addition to being a source of energy, fats have a fundamental role in the composition and functionality of cell membranes, they participate in the formation of essential hormones and vitamins of the organism and play a fundamental role in regulating the concentrations of blood lipids and their transport molecules, lipoproteins.
The main sources of fat in the human diet are vegetable oils and animal fats, although they are also present in nuts, cereals and legumes.
The Grass Acid Profile of SYNLAB lets you know what type of fats are ingested through the usual diet as well as the degree of silent inflammation suffered. The test, based on a blood test, evaluates the four families of fatty acids – saturated, trans, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated – whose balance in consumption is essential to preserving health.
Bad fats
Several scientific studies indicate that trans fatty acids from partially hydrogenated vegetable oils increase risk factors and cardiovascular accidents. In addition, consumption of these fats has been associated with increased risk of death from coronary disease and sudden cardiac death as well as increased risk of metabolic syndrome or diabetes. This type of fat can be found mainly in baked foods such as cookies, industrial pastry, snacks, pre-cooked foods, fried products such as fries or other snacks, along with ice creams, creams and smoothies.
At present, not all types of harmful fats are reflected in the labels of the products consumed, so they may involuntarily ingest unhealthy fats without being fully aware.
The test Food fats lets you know the types of fat that are included in the diet and the degree of silent inflammation that is suffered, a first step to be able to customize the nutrition to achieve a balance between the different fats and, in the long term, to be able to prevent chronic diseases. The test analyzes the different types of fatty acids in the membrane of erythrocytes and its result is representative of fat consumption for the last three months.
The test is indicated for people of any age who want to customize their diet to optimize their health. It is also recommended for patients with inflammatory diseases, cardiovascular problems, dyslipemias, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, etc., as well as in patients with mood, behavioral disorders or who suffer cognitive deficits.
