UN News Center that 8-10 September 2008 at the World Health Organization (WHO) in the UK, the city of Glasgow, is meeting the European Network for the Development of Physical Activity. Such meetings are held each year. The meeting will discuss such issues as the importance of race walking and walking for health.
The question arises from the fact that in Europe "raging" epidemic. In Western Europe, two thirds of the population has a low physical activity. Deaths from the consequences of sedentary lifestyles are already 10% of total deaths!
According to statistics, up to 80% fact: the juice can turn to poison, even an effective remedy
He even Fruit
Until now, the main enemies and the only drugs considered grapefruit juice. In 1991, a Canadian professor David Bailey all medical world discoveries: grapefruit juice is dangerous overdoses popular among hypertensive medication taken in normal doses. Is it? Perhaps. In the juice and found a substance margining, blocking the liver enzyme responsible for the neutralization of the drug in the body. As a result, the drug is slowly destroyed, with the admission of new doses of its increased concentration, because of what has evolved overdose.
Since then, scientists have found that more than 50 popular drugs from a variety of diseases, in combination with grapefruit juice are fulminating mixture. It was even reported a few deaths related to the «grapefruit» overdose. And now, all new drugs are tested for compatibility with the juice. But recently Professor Bailey made the team a new surprise. Even two surprises.
First - Grapefruit juice can cause not only overdoses, but also drugs, making their use ineffective. The first drug proved to from the popular allergy drug, marketed under the name of telfast. Imagine taking a fan of grapefruit medicine, allergy and he does not go away. To similar effect is already known results you margining.
It turns out that he can block another enzyme, which is no longer destroys the drugs, but rather, helps some of them come from the intestine into the bloodstream.
The second surprise even more shocking. Such negative effects may have not only grapefruit juice, and orange, apple, and possibly some other juices. They found a substance very similar to margining, and likewise, blocking absorption of some medicines from the digestive system. While these medications are not very much (see table), but they are quite popular and are used for serious illnesses. This means that their inefficiency can lead to tragic consequences - heart attacks, stroke and progression of cancer and infections, rejection of transplanted organs. But according to Professor Bailey, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Such drugs are more numerous.
The light at the end of the tunnel
- Panic on these findings, and most refuse juices, fruit or drugs is not necessary, - said Alexander Miller, a doctor, a dietician, a candidate of medical sciences. - First, you need to drink the medicine. Better for the use of simple water. Secondly, make time for administration of drugs and consumption of juice or fruit. Eat them for two hours before taking medications or within 2 hours after. And third, always prefers fruit juices - are useful.
And besides they are much less margining than in juices. This is due to the fact that margining mainly found in the skin and dried peel of citrus fruit, but in the flesh it is very small (see figure). When making juice, squeeze the fruit whole, and we only eat slices. And, therefore, the risk of negative influence of fruits on drugs is virtually non-existent.
And now, most unexpected - margining and close to the matter in moderate quantities we need. They belong to the so-called bioflavonoid and have a useful effect - lower cholesterol, protect against cancer, and even hinder the accumulation of fat in the body.
By the way
Milk and dairy products may neutralize the effect of several antibiotics tetracycline homology (ciprofloxacin, etc.) and (a means of thrush). The drugs penicillin and erythromycin in the number of spirit does not carry anything acidic (fruit, vegetables, pickles and other dishes with vinegar). For antidepressants need to renounce alcohol, cheese, chocolate, sausages, smoked sausages, beef, dishes from the liver of animals and poultry, meat, game and wild animals, rabbit, eggs, soy sauce, avocado, banana, drinks with when the patient early acquainted with his coronary heart disease, associated with low physical activity, smoking and unhealthy diet irrational.
On the job physically inactive 50% of the population of Europe. So, maybe this will be one way to rectify the situation, it is necessary in the working schedule to include exercise and, if possible, walk to work and back foot.
The meeting involved representatives of all members of the WHO European region, which brings together 53 States, Europe and Central Asia.
