ADVANCED NUTRITION

Nutritional prevention is essential to avoid many diseases, which silently rob years from our lives, such as being overweight, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, cardiovascular, , and neurodegenerative diseases, etc. For this reason, we believe Nutrition is one of the fundament cornerstones of Neolife’s Follow-up Programs. 

The food you eat can be the most powerful form of medicine, or the slowest form of poison

(Ann Wigmore)

At Neolife, advanced nutrition is prescribed as part of our programs, whenever it is needed, for those individuals who: 

·       Suffer from a nutritional pathology (obesity, overweight, diabetes, high cholesterol, etc.).

·       Have poor eating habits and want to change them to achieve permanent results.

·       Have tried in the past and on multiple occasions to go on a diet without success or have gone on 'rebound' diets.

·       Have had or are having problems losing weight and notice that with age, it gets even harder.

·       Understand the importance of prevention and want to learn how to nourish themselves, to stay young and age more slowly, achieving good habits aimed at healthy aging.

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF A POOR DIET ON OUR BODY?

The nutrient deficiencies and imbalances that accompany an inadequate diet, include modular factors of sustained inflammation, resulting in chronic non-communicable diseases. Good level of nutrition is one of the main determinants of an individual’s health. 

Although more research and clinical trials, associating food and dietary components in the cause and protection from these diseases , making healthy food choices, together with healthy lifestyle habits, are the biggest modifiable determinants in the risk of suffering from these diseases. 

AN EXCESS OF UNHEALTHY NUTRIENTS

The Western diet is characterized by diets rich in processed foods , in food products like –processed meats, pastries, sweets, snacks–, the use of poor quality vegetable oils, and a high daily consumption of sugar and sugary drinks, added salt, and a regular consumption of sugary drinks and alcohol. The high amount of energy and low nutrient density in this unhealthy diet results in a higher risk of various pathologies.

DEFICIENCY OF HEALTHY NUTRIENTS

Numerous studies have shown that diets poor in whole grains, fish, and,plant-based foods, –like those that contain fruits, vegetables, nuts, dried fruits, and legumes–, increase the risk of diseases. The Mediterranean diet includes these foods, and there is ample evidence that this type of diet lowers cardiometabolic risk factors.

DISEASES AND NUTRITION

In short, it is safe to say that a poor diet and habits have a direct impact on the higher incidence of disease. 

So, for example, each daily serving of processed meat is associated with a 42% higher risk of coronary heart disease or a a higher consumption of alcohol is associated with higher cardiovascular risk . It also causes reflux and has been shown to have a direct irritant effect on the esophageal mucosa, compromising its function and increasing the risk of various types of cancer, such as esophageal and stomach cancers.

By contrast, evidence shows that whole-grain cereals may protect against insulin resistance and the development of type 2 diabetes, with a reduction of   32% in terms of risk of suffering from these diseases, or that the consumption of fruit also appears to be associated with a reduction in gastric cancer. 

WE CAN’T CHOOSE OUR AGE, BUT WE CAN CHOOSE HOW WE AGE.

SEARCH FOR RESULTS WITH 'NO EXPIRATION DATE'

Everyday actions and habits count, and the modification of long-lasting habits – is the key to avoid ‘rebound diets’, from which we should all flee.

CONTINUOUS MONITORING

Our team of medical, nutritional, and exercise experts identifies each individual’s situation and implements a customized medical and nutritional follow-up, which is adjusted based on the patient’s progress and the goals set.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY AND PERSONALIZED CLIENT-CENTERED WORK

As we age, it becomes increasingly harder to maintain or lose weight. This has a physiological explanation: there is a metabolic and hormonal imbalance ( perimenopause and menopause in women and andropause in men) . Doctors and nutritionists work to monitor and mitigate these effects while modifying nutritional habits.

PROTOCOLS BACKED BY DECADES OF MEDICAL EXPERIENCE AND EVIDENCE

We owe our success rate to the application of scientifically endorsed protocols and Neolife’s remarkable experience in the science of antiaging, nutrition and medicine, which allows our professionals to acquire knowledge with a clearly preventive and wellness-enhancing purpose.

RESULTS OF NEOLIFE PROGRAMS ON BIOMARKERS ASSOCIATED WITH NUTRITION

Some examples of altered biomarkers, which we manage to revert in our patients through adequate nutrition, are:

EXCESO DE NUTRIENTES INSANOS VS. ENFERMEDADES

  • CONSUMO CÁRNICO PROCESADO: estudios demuestran que un exceso es promotor de diferentes tipos de cáncer: gástrico, colorrectal, pulmonar, mama y vesical. Cada ración diaria de carne procesada se asocia con un 42% más de riesgo de enfermedad coronaria. También contribuye al incremento del riesgo de desarrollar diabetes, particularmente tipo 2.
  • REFRESCOS Y BEBIDAS AZUCARADAS: su alto consumo aumenta el riesgo de mortalidad general; en concreto, aumenta el riesgo de cáncer, el riesgo cardiovascular, de diabetes mellitus, de insulino-resistencia y de obesidad, así como la disfunción de neuronas implicadas en la memoria y un empeoramiento de los síntomas de la esclerosis múltiple.
  • GRASAS TRANS: estudios han descrito una relación entre su consumo y el desarrollo de cáncer de mama, colon y próstata, de enfermedades coronarias y arterosclerosis y de diabetes tipo 2 (sobre todo en sujetos sedentarios), así como una disminución en la absorción del calcio de la dieta.
  • EXCESO EN EL CONSUMO DE SAL: diferentes estudios han propuesto el incremento del consumo de sal como un posible factor de riesgo para el desarrollo de carcinoma gástrico y renal, de ictus o de accidentes cerebrovasculares.
  • ALCOHOL: el alcohol es la bebida más implicada en diversas patologías. A mayor consumo de alcohol, mayor riesgo cardiovascular y de ocasionar reflujo; también se ha demostrado un efecto irritante directo sobre la mucosa esofágica, comprometiendo su función e incrementado el riesgo de varios tipos cáncer, como de esófago y estómago. Además interfiere en el metabolismo del calcio y la velocidad de pérdida de masa ósea se acelera en personas con alto consumo de alcohol.
  • HIDRATOS DE CARBONO REFINADOS: se ha demostrado en sujetos sedentarios su efecto en el aumento de los picos de las curvas de glucemia, perjudicando la tolerancia a la glucosa y la modificación de la secreción de las hormonas insulina y glucagón, favoreciendo un mayor riesgo de diabetes tipo 2.

DÉFICIT DE NUTRIENTES SALUDABLES VS. ENFERMEDADES

  • FRUTAS, VERDURAS Y HORTALIZAS: son ricas en fibra, carotenoides, vitaminas, minerales y fitoquímicos, todas ellas sustancias potencialmente anticarcinogénicas. Las dietas ricas en frutas, verduras y hortalizas se asocian de manera inversa con el riesgo de cáncer de cabeza y cuello, tiroides, hepático, esofágico, mama y próstata. El consumo de frutas parece estar relacionado también con una reducción del cáncer gástrico. Además aportan beneficios demostrados sobre las enfermedades cardiovasculares y producen de manera indirecta una menor incidencia de diabetes mellitus.
  • CEREALES INTEGRALES: varios meta-análisis sugieren que la fibra dietética contenida en este grupo de alimentos puede prevenir el cáncer gástrico y reducir el cáncer colorrectal. También mejora el perfil lipídico y la tensión arterial, con disminución de la mortalidad cardiovascular, y pueden constituir un elemento protector contra la resistencia a la insulina y el desarrollo de diabetes tipo 2, con una reducción del 32% de riesgo.
  • LEGUMBRES Y FRUTOS SECOS SIN PROCESAR: el consumo habitual de legumbres y frutos secos sin procesar contiene sustancias con potenciales efectos anticancerígenos, asociados con una disminución de la incidencia de adenoma, carcinomas colorrectales y posiblemente de mama, así como una reducción del colesterol sérico total y de la fracción LDL del mismo y unas menores cifras de tensión arterial y enfermedad coronaria.
  • PESCADOS: los pescados son ricos en grasas saludables, como las omega-3, y han demostrado mecanismos importantes en la progresión tumoral, disminuyendo el riesgo de cáncer de mama, hepático y mieloma múltiple. Además, aumentan la sensibilidad a la insulina, contribuyendo a mejorar el control glucémico.
  • ACEITE VIRGEN EXTRA: recientes estudios ponen de manifiesto los efectos beneficiosos del aceite de oliva virgen extra como la grasa de referencia para el consumo, gracias a que sus componentes tienen efectos antiinflamatorios, que atenúan la progresión de la formación de tumores, como el colorrectal, en comparación con otros aceites de semillas, los cuales son prooxidantes y favorecen su aparición.

EXCESS OF UNHEALTHY NUTRIENTS VS. DISEASES

  • PROCESSED CANCER CONSUMPTION: studies show that an excess is a promoter of different types of cancer: gastric, colorectal, lung, breast and bladder cancer. Each daily serving of processed meat is associated with a 42% increased risk of coronary heart disease. It also contributes to the increased risk of developing diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes.
  • SOFT DRINKS AND SWEETENED BEVERAGES: its high consumption increases the risk of general mortality; in particular, it increases the risk of cancer, cardiovascular risk, diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance and obesity, as well as the dysfunction of neurons involved in memory and a worsening of the symptoms of multiple sclerosis.
  • TRANS FATS: studies have described a relationship between their consumption and the development of breast, colon and prostate cancer, coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes (especially in sedentary subjects), as well as a decrease in the absorption of calcium from the
  • EXCESS IN SALT CONSUMPTION: different studies have proposed increased salt consumption as a possible risk factor for the development of gastric and renal carcinoma, stroke or cerebrovascular accidents.
  • ALCOHOL: alcohol is the beverage most implicated in various pathologies. The higher the alcohol consumption, the greater the risk of cardiovascular disease and reflux; it has also been shown to have a direct irritant effect on the esophageal mucosa, compromising its function and increasing the risk of various types of cancer, such as esophageal and stomach cancer. It also interferes with calcium metabolism and the rate of bone loss is accelerated in people with high alcohol consumption.
  • REFINED CARBON HYDRATES: it has been demonstrated in sedentary subjects their effect in increasing the peaks of glycemia curves, impairing glucose tolerance and modifying the secretion of the insulin

DEFICIT OF HEALTHY NUTRIENTS VS. DISEASES

  • FRUIT, VEGETABLES AND VEGETABLES: are rich in fiber, carotenoids, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals, all of which are potentially anticarcinogenic substances. Diets rich in fruits, vegetables and greens are inversely associated with the risk of head and neck, thyroid, liver, esophageal, breast and prostate cancers. Fruit consumption also appears to be associated with a reduction in gastric cancer. They also have proven benefits for cardiovascular disease and indirectly lead to a lower incidence of diabetes.
  • WHOLE CEREALS: several meta-analyses suggest that the dietary fiber contained in this food group may prevent gastric cancer and reduce colorectal cancer. It also improves the lipid profile and blood pressure, with a decrease in cardiovascular mortality, and may be a protective element against insulin resistance and the development of type 2 diabetes, with a 32% reduction in risk.
  • LEGUMES AND UNPROCESSED NUTS AND DRIED FRUITS: regular consumption of legumes and unprocessed nuts contains substances with potential anticarcinogenic effects, associated with a decrease in the incidence of adenoma, colorectal and possibly breast carcinomas, as well as a reduction in total serum cholesterol and its LDL fraction and lower blood pressure and coronary heart disease.
  • FISH: fish are rich in healthy fats, such as omega-3, and have demonstrated important mechanisms in tumor progression, decreasing the risk of breast cancer, liver cancer and multiple myeloma. In addition, they increase insulin sensitivity, helping to improve glycemic control.
  • EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL: recent studies have shown the beneficial effects of extra virgin olive oil as the reference fat for consumption, thanks to the fact that its components have anti-inflammatory effects, which attenuate the progression of tumor formation, such as colorectal cancer, compared to other seed oils, which are prooxidants and favor their appearance.
