Eating Well And Diet

The well-being of the body is through diet. Physical health is a prerequisite for balanced diet.
The saying "you have to eat to live and not live to eat" is a dietary truth:
=> Proof of this is that people who eat too much or eat poorly, have all kinds of problems: cholesterol, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, skin problems, etc. ;
=> when we eat poorly, the risks to our health are many, but in industrialized countries, people run more risk because of the excess rather than the wants. Obesity is also steadily increasing.

The balance on our plate: eat well, what is it?

Eating well everything in reasonable quantities
It sounds simplistic. Yet, we have all that is good for our health without necessarily having to resort to substitutes, drugs, and other capsules, although some people can use it for reasons relating to:
=> age;
=> fragility (disease);
=> or a temporary condition (pregnancy, lactation).
The key to a healthy adult, is:
=> Know compose his meal of the day according to the standards of dietetics: that is to say, in accordance with the quantities of protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals essential to our daily balance.
=> Limit excesses: eating too much, eating too fast, jump one or more meals, drink too much alcohol and too little water...
=> Do not make too restrictive diets: beware of plans that inherently eliminate all fats and all sugars (which harm respectively in skin elasticity and functioning of the brain that needs glucose). Diets should always be followed by a registered dietitian or a doctor and must remain exceptional.

Eating well and emotional balance

Eating well is not just to please our bodies, stay physically healthy and keep the line.
Eating well is also:
=> run your taste buds and take pleasure in tasting flavors;
=> a social process that allows us to maintain relationship with friends or with family and closer it over a meal;
=> a moment of relaxation after a hard day: hence the importance of smelling and tasting dishes in a moment of serenity while ignoring our problems and family and social conflicts;
=> eat slowly and take your time. Do not eat in a hurry. By eating slowly, in a quiet environment:
=> taking time to chew food you get faster at a satiety state;
=> conversely: swallow without chewing does not stall us enough and we eat twice as much.
Body well-being in its environment
The body well-being requires an adequate nutrition that is to say, a kitchen respecting the DIET rules and is rich in essential nutrients and essential vitamins for our balance.This healthy food life can be supplemented by natural methods such as phytotherapy or aromatherapy. Indeed, plants and essential oils have natural beneficial properties to humans and can enable them to achieve well-being.
Habitat and decoration are now considered as important elements to our well-being. Organize the house under the rules of health program or add plants to clean up the atmosphere while leaving plenty of room to light, may be means to achieve it.
To be well in its environment, specialists can be found:
=> Dietician: his role is to provide advice on nutrition;
=> Naturopath: advices on different aspects of lifestyle in order to restore a balance;
=> Herbalist: doctors by plants;
=> Therapist: his role is to avoid stress, depression, overwork...

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is one of the "soft" medicines. This therapy of essential oils is very popular in recent years.


However, given the diversity of oils, it is however not easy to find.

What are essential oils ?

Essential oils are volatile and odorous substances derived from plants and collected by different extraction processes. Their origin dates back far enough and is appearing in 1937 the first book "Aromatherapy".

Today, the use of essential oils is as common as herbal medicine and we find it under the term phyto­aromatherapy, a combined use of species and plants.

Therapeutics use of essential oils

Essential oils can be used internally or externally. They can also be released into the air we breathe.

Whatever the chosen route of administration, it should follow the use precautions and use an essential oil that has been kept or stored in optimal conditions.

The absorption of essential oil into the body may be used by internal or external use. These are the first two therapeutic indications which are then subdivided as appropriate.

Indications and cons­indications are often briefly listed on the product label: also, do not hesitate to ask the advice of a specialist, if something does not seem clear to you.

The use of plant essences is subject to some use precautions. Once you know the dosage and that you know what are the modes of administration for a particular type of treatment, you should carefully read the indications and possible cons­indications of species that have been recommended.

Essential oils are fragrant substances from plants. These odorous substances, in liquid form, are volatile. Evaporation of this liquid can return to the odor state without a trace. Essential oils are obtained by different extraction processes.

The various names of essential oils

In liquid form, we encounter various names such as vegetable oils, essential oils, volatile oils, aromatic oils, rectors and aromas spirits. All these names describe the same product.

Note: in the literary use, technical or commercial, we most often employ the terms "essential oils" and "plant oils".

Composition of essential oils



A set of components into play in each essential oil in varying proportions depending on the type of involved oil:

* Terpenes,

* Ketones,

* Lactones,

* Esters,

* Phenols.

Although they have a fatty and oily touch, essential oils are not fat. Moreover, they do not contain fatty acids or vitamins, or minerals.

States of essential oils

Essential oils are not all alike. It will be necessary to know how to differentiate essential oils, depending on whether they are:

* artificial or synthetic,

* rectified oils,

* deterpenated oils,

* reconstituted oils or semi­synthesis.

Aromatherapy history

First steps

We could trace the emergence of essential oils to about 4500 BC. AD What is certain is that at that time, we became interested in the healing properties of plants and the use of balms and aromas.

First appearance of the term "aromatherapy"

RM Gatefossé examines the medicinal use of plants but his grades will emerge in 1937, when Dr.

Foveau de Courmelles decide to preface his book and publish it under the term "aromatherapy".

Interest in the use of plant oils, for therapeutic purposes, has mainly increased since 1945.

Aromatherapy, herbal medicine, phyto­aromatherapy

If aromatherapy refers exclusively to therapeutics by essential oils, herbal therapy refers to therapeutics by plants (decoctions, infusions, maceration, local application of plasters, etc.).

Since 1940, the craze for the use of plants in all its forms has caused an increase in these two therapeutics simultaneously, showing the concept of phyto­aromatherapy.

What is Allergy ?

An allergy is an abnormal reaction of the body against a foreign substance called an allergen. For most subjects, this substance does not cause trouble but in an allergic person can be responsible for various more or less serious phenomenons.

Awareness, essential first step

For developing an allergy, it is essential that the first contact between the allergen and the subject's body took place. This is called sensitization. Then, at each new encounter of the allergen and the body occurs as a consequence an allergic manifestation.

The mechanism of allergy

Normal function of the immune system
In humans, the immune system plays the role of "gatekeeper" and defends the body against external attacks. It is able to recognize antigens or markers of foreign substances to the body that lie on the surface of particles or micro-organisms. In response to the attack, the immune system produces antibodies and white blood cells capable of coming into contact with these antigens and destroy micro-organisms that carry them.
The role of immune system in allergies
In allergy, the immune system responds abnormally and exaggerated to a harmless foreign substance to the body.
In the case of allergy, the antigen is called allergen. This antigen is usually well tolerated by most of the population.However, people with allergies, the immune system will produce antibodies and white blood cells against this antigen that mistakenly considers dangerous.
A substance completely harmless for some, can cause an allergic reaction in a person said sensitized.
Allergy is a reaction inadequate, excessive and pathologic of immune system.

Allergy, a pathology increasingly frequent

Allergy is a pathology becoming more and more common. Nearly 20 % of the European population is allergic to at least one substance.
Allergy, a family origin
The risk of becoming allergic is based on family history, and we consider :
> a risk of 12.5 to 15 % if neither parent is allergic
> a risk of 25 to 40 % if one parent is allergic
> a risk of 50 to 65 % if the 2 parents are allergic
> a risk of 75 % if the 2 parents + a member of the immediate family is allergic
Allergy increasingly common in industrialized countries
Allergy is a phenomenon that affects mainly the industrialized countries.
Several explanations are suggested:
> greater diversification of food consumption with more exotic products, prepared foods with preservatives and food additives potentially allergenic.
> Air pollution also participates in sensitization to allergens (allergenic airborne particles).
