Diabetes
Insulin
Hormone responsible for the body use food properly.
Insulin is produced by beta cells of the pancreas and regulates the concentration of glucose in the blood. Specifically, it binds to a specific receptor on the cell membrane that stimulates the synthesis of glucose transporters, which facilitate the entry of this from the blood into cells.
The lack of production of this hormone by an alteration of the beta cells produce the so-called type I diabetes, called insulin-dependent diabetes (because without the administration of this hormone can not survive) or juvenile diabetes. On the contrary, there are situations in which there is resistance to the action of this hormone, which resulted in a type II diabetes.
Also called insulin preparation of the hormone drug, used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Read the rest of this entry »
All we know about sugar
According to recent studies in cardiology, women who perform some type of moderate physical activity should consume no more than six teaspoons of sugar a day, while men no more than nine.
Unfortunately, statistics show that women consume three times more and men, twice. If only a sweetened carbonated beverage of 296 ml is equivalent to eight tablespoons of sugar usually means that surpassed the recommended amount.

Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes mellitus is undoubtedly one of the health problems of greater importance in the world, with nearly 30 million diabetics in the world. In Europe alone, this figure exceeds the 10 million, of which more than one million live in Spain. It is also estimated that half of those affected are unaware of their situation by getting it in mild and that close to 40% of obese people have diabetes without knowing it.
The figures speak for themselves: Diabetes is the most serious endocrine problem of the twentieth century. In these pages, we deal with depth and severity of diabetes. In short, a condition in which the control diet is the cornerstone of treatment and in which food is directly involved. Example, type II diabetes (adult-onset diabetes), besides a genetic predisposition exists, is primarily due to dietary factors (obesity and industrialized food) and a too sedentary.
Diabetes mellitus is a disease that impairs the body to metabolize and efficiently use carbohydrates, proteins and fats. When we eat, food (especially carbohydrates and fruits) are converted into glucose. All body cells need glucose to live, but glucose can not enter cells without insulin. Insulin is produced in beta cells, which are located at the end of the pancreas.
For example, when we eat a piece of bread, once digested into glucose. Glucose circulates through the bloodstream to feed every body cell. The presence of glucose stimulates beta cells of the pancreas to release insulin. Insulin reaches every cell and acts like a key in their receivers, to open their doors and allow glucose to enter. If there is no insulin or the cell receptors do not function, glucose can not enter cells, and the affected person will suffer from nutrient deficiencies.
Benefits of Exercise for Children with Diabetes
Most diabetic children have type 1 diabetes, an immune system disorder that destroys cells in the pancreas that produce insulin.
Excess weight is generally not considered a risk factor for patients with type 1 diabetes, but recent research suggests that obesity can cause this faster. Moreover, those who have this type of diabetes and lead a sedentary lifestyle can become resistant to insulin and worsen their condition.
