You know HIIT?

That's High Intensity Interval Training.
C'est exactement ce que que font aujourd'hui beaucoup de sportifs. Cela demande un peu de coaching pour trouver des exercices différentes afin de varier et d'éviter la lassitude. Les études les plus récentes montrent qu'en 20 minutes vous pouvez obtenir des résultats importants en terme de capacité à produire de l'énergie au niveau des muscles.
Pour le sportif c'est une meilleure performance
Pour le diabétique type 2 ou le patient en sur-poids c'est développer des muscles ayant une capacité à produire de l'énergie et donc à consommer des calories capacités que l'on sait dramatiquement affaiblies dans ces cas....

Autres questions à propos du régime paléo

• Question: Si on adaptait les recettes classiques de la cuisine francaise au Paleo, ca ferait quoi dans les grandes lignes? - diminution/elimination des desserts; - beurre >> huile d'olive avec cuisson basse temperature; - plus gros ratio de legumes vs. feculents; - vin: certains recommandent 2 verres par jour, ca fait beaucoup non?; - viandes blanches plutot que rouge, plus de poisson?
• 
  
  
  
  Dysnutrition Répond a ces questions
  
  1/ Attention Féculents est un fourre tout dangereux, Féculents = graines + légumineuses + racines
  Des trois seules les racines sont paléo! Les graines sont majoritairement avec gluten... Les légumineuses avec des antinutriments comme les lectines... Donc quelques patates douces quelques tranches d'igname mais uniquement pour ceux et celles qui ont une grosse activité physique. Pour les légumineuses outre les antinutriments elles contiennent des sucres peu digestes et surtout source de gaz et d'inconfort intestinal.
  
  2/ Vin deux verres par jour TOUS les jours c'est beaucoup, ajoutez de l'eau du Kéfir de fruit, du thé vert au gingembre le mâtin de la bière non filtrée, du cidre si vous supportez de préférence brut non pasteurisé. 
  3/ Viandes sauvages ou à l'herbe y compris les deux pattes mais "non processed" id est crues cuites à basse température ou séchées sans nitrate! Les viandes blanches ne sont pas à privilégier si vous avez accès à de la viande rouge sauvage à l'herbe ou à de petits animaux oubliés: lapin, cailles, pigeons, lièvre, faisans...
  Oui Fish and sea food as many as possible but wild!
  4/ Beurre tant que vous voulez de préférence cru à la motte, oui de l'huile d'olive mais plutôt des guacamoles... Et toujours l'huile ajoutée à la fin de la cuisson...
  
  5/ Desserts supprimés? Tout dépend les meilleurs fruits crus de la crème fraiche si vous aimez des infusions de menthe avec les pêches...

Vos questions que vous me posez sans cesse sur la paléo...

1/ Le maïs c'est paléo?

Non c'est une céréale donc ce n'est pas un aliment de l'ère paléolithique...

2/ Le calcium je le trouve où si je ne mange plus de produits laitiers?

Bizarre que vous souciiez du calcium et pas du magnésium du sélénium... Vous n'avez pas l'impression d  répéter une pub? Bon la salade ,le persil donc le jus de légumes, les algues contiennent un calcium très bien assimilable.
Mais surtout pensez os et non calcium. Donc pensez activité physique, soleil et vitamine D, protéines et oméga 3...

3/ Les fruits c'est sucré pourtant? 

Les fruits c'est plus de 95% d'eau...
http://www.apmh.asso.fr/articles/view_art_auteur/196

4/ Je ne peux manger de protéines le mâtin

Il faut essayer de jeûner jusqu'à avoir faim de protéines. Exemple un jour de non activité physique ne prendre que du thé vert et attendre d'avoir faim. Alors chercher une protéine qui vous fait envie et aller l'acheter. La manger le moins transformé possible. Un steak sel et poivre, une tranche de jambon cru,  un tartare de thon, des oeufs coque, des miettes de crabe... Compléter après avoir ingéré au moins 150g par une salade et un fruit, ou bien des oléagineux noix noisettes amandes.

5/ J'ai faim après mon repas paléo

Tout d'abord ce n'est pas mauvais signe de finir un repas non repus. Ensuite si c'est à la fin du repas augmentez les rations! Et sans complexe! Viande poisson et grandes salades à volonté. Si c'est 3h après il faut prendre un en cas d'oléagineux avec du thé vert. Noix noisettes amandes mais aussi pignons noix de macadamia, du Brésil...

6/ Si je mange gras je vais grossir?

On grossit quand on mange plus de calories que l'on en dépense. Mais il faut retenir que l'hormone qui stimule le plus le stockage de calories dans le tissu adipeux est l'insuline. Or l'insuline est sécrétée après l'ingestion des sucres qu'ils soient sucrés ou non (amidons). Donc diminuer l'ingestion de sucres freine la sécrétion d'insuline et dans un contexte d'abondance calorique et alimentaire diminue les signaux de stockage.
Donc manger des aliments entiers peu transformés, diminuer les laitages et supprimer les fromages très caloriques, diminuer les sucres et supprimer les amidons tout en mangeant des graisses animales et végétales  fait maigrir jusqu'au poids de forme...

Baldness and Vitamin D3

Vitamin-Boosted Stem Cells Show Promise in Curing Baldness

July 2012 — A team of researchers in Japan has discovered that VD₃, a super-active form of Vitamin D, boosts stem cells to enhance and maintain their ability to induce hair growth. This new study, reported in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine, builds upon previous studies that have demonstrated how dermal papilla cells (DPCs) can stimulate epithelial stem cells to become hair.

"We had already discovered how VD₃ increases the transforming growth factor TGF-ß₂ and alkali-phosphatase activity — two essential features of hair-inducing DPCs. This time we focused on VD₃'s therapeutic potency and values for hair regeneration," said Kotaro Yoshimura, M.D. "The results suggest that it may be useful in expanding human DPCs with good quality, and help establish a DPC transplantation therapy for growing hair."

Yoshimura and Noriyuki Aoi, M.D., both of the University of Tokyo (UT) School of Medicine, led scientists from UT, Osaka University and the Japan Science and Technology Agency in the investigation. After running more tests on how VD₃ affected another crucial element for hair growth called Wnt10b gene expression, they collected DPCs from volunteers who had undergone facelifts, incubated the DPCs with VD₃ and then grafted them onto hairless skin samples taken from rats.

"We found that treating the dermal papilla cells with VD₃ significantly enhanced the growth of new hair over that of the control group," Dr. Aoi said. "We also observed a better rate of maturation of the follicles. In other words, the hair grew thicker and lasted longer."

"This study may contribute to the development of a cell-based therapy for hair regeneration," said Anthony Atala, MD, Editor of STEM CELLS Translational Medicine and director of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine. "The research team shows the potential impact of vitamin D to boost the capacity of certain cells in the skin to form hair."

Depressive Symptoms and Suicidal Thoughts Among Former Users of Finasteride With Persistent Sexual Side Effects

Michael S. Irwig, MD

Objective: Finasteride, a commonly prescribed medication for male pattern hair loss, has recently been associated with persistent sexual side effects. In addition, depression has recently been added to the product labeling of Propecia (finasteride 1 mg). Finasteride reduces the levels of several neuroactive steroids linked to sexual function and depression. This study assesses depressive symptoms and suicidal thoughts in former users of finasteride who developed persistent sexual side effects despite the discontinuation of finasteride.

Method: In 2010–2011, former users of finasteride (n = 61) with persistent sexual side effects for ≥ 3 months were administered standardized interviews that gathered demographic information, medical and psychiatric histories, and information on medication use, sexual function, and alcohol consumption. All former users were otherwise healthy men with no baseline sexual dysfunction, chronic medical conditions, current or past psychiatric conditions, or use of oral prescription medications before or during finasteride use. A control group of men (n = 29), recruited from the community, had male pattern hair loss but had never used finasteride and denied any history of psychiatric conditions or use of psychiatric medications. The primary outcomes were the prevalence of depressive symptoms and the prevalence of suicidal thoughts as determined by the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II); all subjects self-administered this questionnaire at the time of the interview or up to 10 months later.

Results: Rates of depressive symptoms (BDI-II score ≥ 14) were significantly higher in the former finasteride users (75%; 46/61) as compared to the controls (10%; 3/29) (P < .0001). Moderate or severe depressive symptoms (BDI-II score ≥ 20) were present in 64% (39/61) of the finasteride group and 0% of the controls. Suicidal thoughts were present in 44% (27/61) of the former finasteride users and in 3% (1/29) of the controls (P < .0001).

Conclusions: Clinicians and potential users of finasteride should be aware of the potential risk of depressive symptoms and suicidal thoughts. The preliminary findings of this study warrant further research with controlled studies.

Energy expenditure: an explaining key of obesity?

Two examples of our trend to sprend less calories in the daily life:
Cold-induced thermogenesis
 Cold-induced thermogenesis is the production of heat in response to environmental temperatures
 below thermoneutrality. Cold-induced thermogenesis can be divided into two types: shivering
 thermogenesis and non-shivering thermogenesis. The thermoneutral zone (or the critical temperature)
 is the environmental temperature at which oxygen consumption and metabolic rate are lowest (IoM,
 2005). The relative contribution of cold-induced thermogenesis to TEE has decreased in recent
 decades due to the increase in time spent in enclosed and heated environments.
Thermic effect of food (TEF)
 Eating requires energy for the digestion, absorption, transport, interconversion, and deposition of
 nutrients. These metabolic processes increase REE, and their energy expenditure is known as the
 thermic effect of food (TEF). It should be noted that the muscular work required for eating is not part
 of TEF.

But it seems too simple...
Some are challenging our preconception that we spend less calories than hunter gatherers...

Individual comparisons of TEE and FFM.

Energy expenditure for Hadza hunter-gatherers (red circles) was similar to that of Westerners (gray[19]–[26]). Bolivian women farmers (blue open circles [13], [31]) had higher TEE than either Hadza or Western women. Trendlines are ordinary least squares regressions through Western men (solid line) and Western women (dashed line).

Population comparisons of TEE.

Energy expenditure among Hadza hunter-gatherers (red circles) was similar to populations in market economies; subsistence farming populations (Nigeria, Gambia, Bolivia; blue circles) had higher TEE than other groups. All non-Hadza data from[16] (Text S1). Each symbol is a single-sex population mean; male and female means are plotted separately for mixed-sex studies. Ordinary least squares regression lines are shown for all men (filled circles, solid line) and all women (open circles, dashed line). When controlling for body mass, men had higher TEE than women (F(162) = 86.75, p<0.001).

Le sel un autre exemple de la malbouffe hospitalière

Les menus hospitaliers sont très riches en sel et d'ailleurs aussi en sucres rapides. Pas vraiment approprié. Pourtant il serait facile d'externaliser la production et d'imposer au prestataire de respecter des critères simples, disponibles et recommandés par ailleurs sur les sites gouvernementaux de santé publique.
Citoyens faites ce que je ne fais pas et silence dans les rangs...
En attendant les changements diminuons les durées de séjour et en particulier augmentons le rapport entre ambulatoire et hospitalisation traditionnelle...

Can we predict premature deaths in humans?

It seems that a new model of prediction is more effficient than the older ones. And it's very simple it's body shape...
ABSI  is a body shape index
WC is waist circumference in meters
BMI is body mass index in kg
Height in meters.

"High ABSI may correspond to a greater fraction of visceral (abdominal) fat compared to peripheral tissue.
The World Health Organization ranks overweight and obesity as the fifth leading cause of death, behind high blood pressure, tobacco use, high blood glucose, and physical inactivity, and according to the organization, the prevalence of overweight and obesity is more than 50% of adult populations in high- and middle-income countries. The researchers cite National Institute of Health guidelines that put overweight and obesity as the second leading cause of preventable death in the United States, behind tobacco use."
Autors conclude:
"Body shape, as measured by ABSI, appears to be a substantial risk factor for premature mortality in the general population derivable from basic clinical measurements. ABSI expresses the excess risk from high WC in a convenient form that is complementary to BMI and to other known risk factors."

For sure it is less expensive and more efficient to measure these parameters than biological data about cholesterol and its subfractions.

Dysnutrition is becoming global...

Yes we have to improve our global impact, but a huge advancement has been made this year.

Unhealthy foods or unhealthy diets?

The debate is hot. Politicians raised taxes for fat foods on behalf that it will incentive people to consume healthy foods...
It's a myth. Fat is not the culprit.
The only pigouvian tax should be on the result and the risk of too much eating, it's a tax on heathcare insurance based on your weight.
Other taxes are only an excuse to raise money and put it in the abyss of public deficit.

"Money grubbing "Fat" and similar taxes are only excuses to raise money. EFSA has already said there are no good or bad foods; only good and bad diets. money raising is the only reason some people want nutrient profiles added to the Claims Regulation."

Perdre de la graisse et maintenir la dépense énergétique de base

Tel est le but de tout régime en particulier dans le cadre du surpoids, du syndrome métabolique et du diabète type 2.
Le régime pauvre en sucres (hydrates de carbone) est le mieux à même de maintenir la dépense énergétique totale ou de repos ce qui contribue à maintenir le poids voire à le faire diminuer lentement mais surement.

Lentils and lectins

"Lucretius said, “One man’s food is another man’s poison” and lectins give us part of the reason why. It is our individual genetic inheritances that determine how and to what degree lectins can affect us. Almost everybody has antibodies to some dietary lectins in their bloodstream. Many food allergies are actually immune system reactions to lectins."
