CMG: NATIONAL DAY OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS.

The importance of optimal nutrition status for the quality of life of patients.

The power is a basic need that all people have to maintain the vital functions of our body and to perform our daily activities.
Knowing the recommendations of a balanced diet can help MS patients improve their quality of life.
To be healthy your diet should provide enough energy to replace daily and help keep your weight balanced weight, providing variety in the different food groups that provide vitamins and minerals.

Daily
should consume 4-6 servings of starchy foods (vegetables, potatoes, cereals and cereal products such as bread), 5 servings of fruit and vegetables, 2-3 servings of dairy, 2 servings of meat (meat, fish , eggs), 3-5 servings of vegetable fat and water (about 1.5-2 liters).

Very occasionally, and if there are no other diseases that contraindicate can eat fatty meats, sausages, sugar, pastries, butter and sweet treats.

Multiple sclerosis is a risk factor for malnutrition in the patient since the evolution of the disease goes through stages where there is difficulty or inability to swallow (dysphagia).

To this we add other risk factors that may be associated and accelerate the process of malnutrition and anorexia (appetite loss), oral problems (ulcers, parts shortages, infections, complications with the prosthesis), polypharmacy, loss of autonomy, restrictive therapeutic diets (no salt, ..), etc.

monitoring of nutritional status from the onset may help delay the onset of malnutrition states that favor a worse course of illness.

weight loss the patient's condition worsens and increases the risk of suffering falls, pressure ulcers or decubitus and the emergence of various infections.

On the contrary, an excessive weight gain due to a disordered diet leads to the development of obesity associated with mobility problems, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, etc.

One of the most frequent complications related to the act of feeding of this disease and worsens the patient's nutritional status is the emergence of changes in the process of swallowing, dysphagia.
Dysphagia is any alteration of the swallowing process, from placement of food in the mouth until it reaches the esophagus and its subsequent passage into the stomach. The fatal consequences that entails are malnutrition, dehydration and respiratory illnesses such as aspiration (may cause death.)

When dysphagia prevents proper nutrition is necessary for the medical team assess the possibility of feeding through a nasogastric tube or gastrostomy (feeding artificial).
This form of artificial administration of food is usually quite safe because the complications are not severe, though not free of problems, especially if not handled with care or monitoring is inappropriate. Occasionally mechanical problems, gastrointestinal, metabolic, infectious and psychological, so it resorts to its establishment only if it is really necessary.

Some useful tips in case of dysphagia:

• To facilitate the opening of the mouth can be covered using small, preferably touches spoon and apply ice and massage the jaw.
• To encourage chewing the tongue can be pressed to shed at the time of placing food in the mouth, squeezing the base of the chin with your finger to stimulate the start of chewing and manipulation, easy to chew soft foods , purees and creams develop and use a bottle or reeds for food and drink always be active sucking reflex.
• If you want you can use commercial ground texture modified. Provide optimum hygiene and are perfect nutritionally speaking. They are easy to prepare.
• To enhance swallowing and prevent choking change the consistency, tilt your head down at the moment and switch to swallow a bolus of solid and a liquid to facilitate the passage of food.
• It is advisable to drink cold water or soft drinks before and during the meal to trigger the swallowing reflex.
• Use thickeners for commercial liquids and gels.

CMG: FOOD SANA

Celiac disease is an intolerance food permanent gluten produces atrophy of the villi of the intestine and leads to malabsorption of all nutrients.

Gluten is a protein found in all cereals (wheat, barley, rye, buckwheat, kamut, triticale and oats) and their derivatives, excluding rice and corn.

The most common symptoms are loss of appetite and weight, chronic diarrhea, bloating, iron deficiency anemia, mood changes and growth delay in children .

Sometimes these symptoms are atypical or even be absent, hamper the diagnosis of the disease.

The presence of serological markers (antigliadin, endomysial and / or transglutaminase) higher in the active phase of the disease, ie when the patient is eating gluten, and its disappearance after eliminated from the diet is a factor biological supports the diagnosis, but not a sufficient criterion. Definitive diagnosis is essential to intestinal biopsy and pathological study of a sample obtained at the duodenal mucosa.

The only treatment to prevent atrophy of the villi is to follow a diet strict gluten-free for life (no drug treatment, at least for now). When gluten-free diet is repaired villous injury and provided not eat again remains in good condition.

From the time of diagnosis must eliminate all foods that contain gluten security: bread and wheat flour, barley, rye, oats or triticale, muffins, pies, cakes and other pastries, cookies, cakes and pastries, Italian pastas such as macaroni, noodles and wheat semolina, milk and malt beverages, manufactured goods in which they appear flours with gluten in any form (starches, modified starches, starch, flour and protein), fermented drinks from grain, beer, barley water, some liquor, etc.

Gluten is a plant protein that can be replaced by others, both from plant sources (nuts, beans, rice and maize) and animal origin (meat, fish, eggs and dairy), so its exclusion Lifetime does not have to be linked to a nutritional deficiency.

The celiac can keep the balance of your diet is not complicated. To do this you should eat fresh food in moderate amounts as vegetables, meat, eggs, fish, fruits, vegetables, tubers, fats (olive oil and seeds), sugar (honey, table sugar, jam, ...), gluten-free cereal products, always following the pyramid healthy eating.

COELIACS MANIFESTO FOR WORLD AIDS DAY 2009

December 1 Day commemorating the World Day of AIDS , where we remember those who have been affected by this pandemic , and those who are absent, and make a call on the current situation in our country.

Today we have a very different picture from years ago, where despair has now become an expectation and desire of life. But this has not enabled this disease be let over a thousand people a year in our country, and produced nearly three thousand new diagnoses each year.

Worldwide there are 33 million people living with HIV and AIDS, with over 50% women aged 15 to 49 years. These figures demonstrate the feminization of the pandemic, women require special attention. Note that this phenomenon is not confined only to developing countries.

just one year are more than 2.7 million new infections and two million people die from this cause. In sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 70% of these deaths, but in Eastern Europe and Asia have, today, the fastest growth.

45% of new HIV infections affect young people between 15 and 24, and not being able to diminish, but increases the transmission from mothers to children although there are tools to control this transmission .

Today we are faced with potential developments which mark a hopeful future in cancer treatments, but there are still people for whom these new opportunities are almost inaccessible, either because the evolution of the disease has generated a significant physical impairment or in a situation of exclusion and social marginalization hinders them equal access.

witnessing great progress in pharmacological theory allows people living with HIV and AIDS develop their lives and enable their full integration into society, but unfortunately find themselves in a tense climate where prejudice, stigma and discrimination associated with HIV undermine their chances of access to full citizenship.

Today we remember that continues to assist settled violation of fundamental rights of people affected by HIV and AIDS, which sometimes breaks the opportunity to access basic social rights such as social services, health, educational, labor, and leisure participation and as equal access to housing or purchase insurance for the simple fact of living with HIV pathology that is still attached to behaviors not well seen or outside of the normally established.

It is therefore necessary to consider the precise and prevention policies and actions to be developed from a holistic sense, where you contemplate differences of each person. Being a transsexual or homosexual, be deprived of liberty, as a person dependent on drugs or prostitution; be on the threshold of poverty or a woman, to concentrate on those people more vulnerable, since this gives them a double discrimination where their rights are measured by their social or personal.

"never get to make a difference if we consider AIDS in isolation," said Michel Sidibe during his first meeting as Executive Director of UNAIDS in Geneva. Work experience gained during these years we can say that the promotion and protection of human rights are a key factor in preventing HIV transmission and reduce the effects of AIDS, being necessary to protect the dignity of people affected and to achieve public health goals mainly consisting of reducing vulnerability to HIV infection and mitigate the negative effects of the pandemic on the social, family and work. Human rights and public health share the common goal of promoting and protecting the health and welfare of the people by ensuring access to equal services, information, education and training and knowledge of their rights. Therefore, the UNAIDS theme this year is Universal Access and Human Rights.

From entities that make up the citizen's movement working in the field of HIV / AIDS believe that society has to make a difference, but a change driven by women and men, from groups, from the media and those with political responsibility. The actions taken from each of these sectors can feed back and enrich each other, and from the synergy generated relations of peace, mutual understanding and respect for differences, so that these in turn influence the collective gaining access to greater levels of respect, involvement and commitment.

believe that people with political responsibility must continue to undertake initiatives and improving health and social actions designed to alleviate this situation, with the entities we work every day in the field of HIV and AIDS, and therefore know reality directly.

appreciate that the role of media is essential and continuing involvement is essential to help get our message globally, with a dimension linked to the enjoyment of social rights.

For this reason, this change necessary and a priority value has to be aimed to respect, healthy dialogue and tolerance towards greater involvement as part of the solution of a problem, a joint commitment basis from knowledge of a reality ever more palpable and near those most disadvantaged sectors where HIV / AIDS act with greater virulence. After nearly 30 years of death, pain and suffering we must continue to act decisively with keys more comprehensive and humane. We demand equal treatment where discrimination has no place and will not continue breaking the Rights of Persons affected.

For us it is essential to an inclusive and cohesive society, that enables an awareness of where everyone forward.
