However, with the right information, you can find the perfect ally for your wellness sessions. In 2023, a study revealed that 78% of regular practitioners consider their mat an essential investment for their practice. Let’s discover the key criteria for selecting the ideal mat to accompany you in your quest for well-being and balance.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Yomad Yogom Totem Khaki Warrior Posture Yoga Mat</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">When considering which size yoga mat to choose , keep in mind that thickness plays a crucial role in your comfort. For beginners or those with sensitive joints, a mat between 10 and 15 mm thick is ideal. It provides extra cushioning, which is particularly appreciated during Pilates floor <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>exercises</strong></span></a>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">More experienced practitioners may want to consider thinner mats, between 4 and 8 mm. These allow for a better connection with the floor, which is essential for certain balancing postures in yoga. The Yomad yoga mat from Yogom , with its 8 mm thickness, offers an excellent compromise between comfort and stability, making it ideal for a mixed yoga-Pilates practice.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Size, weight and practicality: find the right balance</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The standard dimensions of a yoga mat are generally 180 cm x 60 cm. However, if you are taller than 1.80 m, do not hesitate to opt for a longer mat (200 cm or more) to ensure your comfort in all postures.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The weight of the mat is a factor that shouldn’t be overlooked, especially if you’re an active woman between the ages of 20 and 60 who regularly transports her equipment. A heavy mat offers more stability but can be difficult to move. Conversely, a lightweight mat makes it easier to transport but can shift during use.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I recommend considering your frequency of use and your practice habits. If you alternate between studio and home practice, a lightweight mat with good grip will be your best ally.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Yogom yoga and Pilates mat: the right compromise between comfort and grip!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Yogom Yomad yoga mat is a piece of equipment designed to provide comfort and performance to all yoga practitioners. Measuring 183 cm long and 61 cm wide, it adapts to all body types and practices.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">With a generous 8mm thickness, this mat provides excellent cushioning, protecting joints while maintaining a good connection to the floor. Its TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) surface ensures excellent grip, even during the most dynamic movements, allowing for safe yoga sessions.</p><p>The post <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/which-yoga-mat-should-i-choose-for-pilates-as-well/" target="_blank">WHICH YOGA MAT SHOULD I CHOOSE FOR PILATES AS WELL?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/" target="_blank">https://healthdiettips.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://healthdiettips.com/which-yoga-mat-should-i-choose-for-pilates-as-well/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>TRT or Testosterone Replacement Therapy – Health and Bodybuilding</title> <link>https://healthdiettips.com/trt-or-testosterone-replacement-therapy-health-and-bodybuilding/</link> <comments>https://healthdiettips.com/trt-or-testosterone-replacement-therapy-health-and-bodybuilding/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 15 Feb 2025 07:42:47 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[therapy]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://healthdiettips.com/?p=168</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>16 ViewsTRT, or more commonly known as Testosterone Replacement Therapy or Androgen Replacement Therapy, has been popularized in recent years in France in the bodybuilding community, particularly among anabolic steroid…</p><p>The post <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/trt-or-testosterone-replacement-therapy-health-and-bodybuilding/" target="_blank">TRT or Testosterone Replacement Therapy - Health and Bodybuilding</a> first appeared on <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/" target="_blank">https://healthdiettips.com</a>.</p>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='epvc-post-count'><span class='epvc-eye'></span> <span class="epvc-count"> 16</span><span class='epvc-label'> Views</span></div><p style="text-align: justify;">TRT, or more commonly known as Testosterone <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Replacement Therapy</strong></span></a> or Androgen Replacement Therapy, has been popularized in recent years in France in the bodybuilding community, particularly among anabolic steroid users, even though it is fundamentally a health-oriented practice.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">What is this ?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">This practice, which is basically entirely medical and not performance or bodybuilding oriented, is very popular in the United States where health policy is completely different from that in France.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In fact, TRT is primarily used in the medical field to compensate for low testosterone levels that can occur with age (after age 40). This is called andropause.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As in women (menopause), over time natural hormone production decreases and this can cause problems, particularly erectile dysfunction but also mood swings, as well as increased fat gain and a decrease in muscle mass.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is therefore common across the Atlantic to compensate for this with a weekly medical prescription for testosterone at a reasonable dosage. This simply allows optimal levels to be achieved for health (after consulting an endocrinologist).</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">A diverted medical practice</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">In other cases, TRT may be prescribed for younger patients in cases of hormonal dysfunction, such as low testosterone levels, leading to problems that interfere with the patient’s daily life.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">But it has become increasingly popular for non-medical and sometimes illegal uses over the years, particularly in the sports world, particularly bodybuilding.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Between two anabolic steroid cycles to maintain levels and gains (avoid a relaunch).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Indeed, TRT depending on the dosage and your baseline natural testosterone levels can help you achieve some of these goals.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">But it is not without risks if it is not medically supervised.</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">We will return to these different points in more detail throughout the article, but first, a quick physiological reminder.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Why and how does testosterone decrease?</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">All of this is part of a completely natural process that comes over the years:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As you age, your testicles produce less testosterone naturally and therefore your hypothalamus (part of the brain, located below the thalamus, which plays a vital role in regulating vital functions) produces less gonadotropin-releasing hormone (a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that stimulates the activity and hormonal secretion of the gonads – ovaries and testicles).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This decrease means that your pituitary gland (hypophysis = small gland the size of a grape, 7 to 8 mm in diameter located at the base of the brain) produces less luteinizing hormone (it is part of the gonadotropins: it controls, with other hormones, the sexual glands (gonads), in this case the ovaries in women and the testicles in men).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This gradual decline often does not (initially) cause any noticeable symptoms. But over time and as the years pass, it becomes significant and triggers:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Please note: if you have already used anabolic steroids or testosterone without medical advice, then wait until you read the end of the article to form your own opinion on your personal situation.</p><p>The post <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/trt-or-testosterone-replacement-therapy-health-and-bodybuilding/" target="_blank">TRT or Testosterone Replacement Therapy - Health and Bodybuilding</a> first appeared on <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/" target="_blank">https://healthdiettips.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://healthdiettips.com/trt-or-testosterone-replacement-therapy-health-and-bodybuilding/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Which yoga mat should I buy for Ashtanga?</title> <link>https://healthdiettips.com/which-yoga-mat-should-i-buy-for-ashtanga/</link> <comments>https://healthdiettips.com/which-yoga-mat-should-i-buy-for-ashtanga/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 07 Feb 2025 06:51:05 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Exercise]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://healthdiettips.com/?p=165</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>13 ViewsAshtanga yoga is a very physical practice!

It’s a dynamic yoga whose postures work in series. But which yoga mat should you buy for Ashtanga? Here you’ll find a definition of Ashtanga followed by our advice to help you choose the right mat for this type of yoga .</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">What is Ashtanga yoga?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Translated from Sanskrit, the term “<a href="https://healthdiettips.com/"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Ashtanga yoga</span></strong></a>” literally means “the eight limbs of yoga.” These eight limbs were originally described in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, one of the founding texts of yoga, which establishes the principles that every yogi should strive to follow.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When learning this yoga, you must master each posture in a series before moving on to the next.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The first series begins with ten sun salutations (five A and five B), continues with a series of standing yoga positions (warrior, trikonasana, etc.) and ends with a series of inversions and seated postures, interspersed with vinyasa.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">A typical Ashtanga yoga class is divided like this:</h2><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Mantras</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Sun Salutations (Urdhva Vriksasana, Uttanasana A, Uttanasana B, Chaturanga Dandasana, Urdhva-Mukha-Shvanasana, Adho-Mukha-Shvanasana, Uttanasana A, Uttanasana B, Urdhva Vriksasana, Samasthiti)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Standing postures or fundamental positions</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Finishing sequence with the all-important Savasana (one of the most important aspects of a yoga practice). Savasana guides practitioners towards Samadhi, one of Patanjali’s eight limbs.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To whet your appetite, here is an Ashtanga Yoga class (1st series), taught by an excellent teacher, Caroline Boulinguez:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you’ve taken this class, you’ve probably realized that it’s a difficult yoga style, so we recommend not starting with Ashtanga if you’re new to yoga. It takes many years to master each series, so patience is essential!</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Which yoga mat should I buy to practice Ashtanga?</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">We know from experience that choosing a comfortable, non-slip yoga mat can be a daunting task. Here are a few criteria to help you navigate the multitude of options on the market.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">What material should you choose for an Ashtanga mat?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">PVC is the least slip-resistant material available, so we don’t recommend plastic for this demanding practice. As soon as you start sweating, your mat risks turning into an ice rink, as PVC leaves perspiration on the surface.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">We recommend a yoga mat made of cork and natural rubber.</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Rubber provides excellent grip on the floor, and you’ll need it. There’s a lot of jumping involved in Ashtanga, and you risk slipping during your transitions if you don’t have a non-slip mat. Latex also provides good cushioning, which will relieve your joints, especially your knees, which can be fragile.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In certain balancing postures, such as Sirsasana (headstand) or tree pose, rubber will be of great help to you because of the stability it offers.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The cork surface will adhere to your feet and hands: the more you sweat, the more grip your yoga mat will have: perfect, right?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">We often sweat a lot during an Ashtanga class, slipping will disrupt your practice and put strain on your already overworked joints and tendons.It is also a soft and warm material that will be able to accompany you throughout your progress.</p><p>The post <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/which-yoga-mat-should-i-buy-for-ashtanga/" target="_blank">Which yoga mat should I buy for Ashtanga?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/" target="_blank">https://healthdiettips.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://healthdiettips.com/which-yoga-mat-should-i-buy-for-ashtanga/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Where to find iron for an anti-hair loss diet?</title> <link>https://healthdiettips.com/where-to-find-iron-for-an-anti-hair-loss-diet/</link> <comments>https://healthdiettips.com/where-to-find-iron-for-an-anti-hair-loss-diet/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 15 Jan 2025 06:45:44 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Hair Care]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://healthdiettips.com/?p=162</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>17 ViewsIn this article, I would like to talk to you about anti-hair loss nutrition .

That is to say, I would like to present to you both: the essential nutrients for the good health of our hair and the most nutritious foods to meet these needs .</p><p style="text-align: justify;">There are many causes of hair loss or alopecia , including diet . A diet that is too poor, not very varied or highly processed (industrial food), certain low-calorie or very restrictive diets, as well as vegetarian or vegan diets can lead to nutritional deficiencies .</p><p style="text-align: justify;">These deficiencies can cause hair loss and can also impact hormonal balance (which can be an additional cause of hair loss).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Remember that there are several causes of hair loss and that we will only discuss dietary causes here . When faced with abnormal hair loss, it is always advisable to identify the cause of the problem before doing anything.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you experience hair loss, do not hesitate to make an appointment with a naturopath , in addition to your conventional medical monitoring.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">MAKE AN APPOINTMENT</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">First and foremost, try to eat a balanced and varied diet . Don’t neglect any food category.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Depending on your deficiencies, it will be interesting to include more foods rich in the deficient micronutrient(s) and/or to use a supplement .</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I always encourage you to seek support from your favorite naturopath or doctor.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Here are the main nutrients that will be part of an anti-hair loss diet.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">For details of nutritional recommendations by micronutrient and by type of population (child, adult, pregnant woman, etc.), I recommend this article from the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety (ANSES).</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Nutrients for hair loss</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Iron is a mineral essential to our good health: it contributes in particular to the transport and use of oxygen, good thyroid health , good immunity and the health of our hair.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">We must distinguish between 2 types of iron:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">non-heme iron which is present in most foods, regardless of their origin, animal or vegetable (e.g. lentils or parsley).</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Recommended dietary intake of iron:</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The Population Nutritional Reference Intake (PNI) for zinc for an adult woman is 11 to 16 mg/day (depending on the abundance of her menstrual periods).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Some people have greater needs, for example: pregnant women, people with significant blood loss (heavy periods, various bleeding) or intestinal malabsorption.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Where to find iron for an anti-hair loss diet?</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The foods richest in iron are: red meat, black pudding or offal, certain seafood and legumes (e.g. lentils) but also fresh parsley (4.7 mg/100g) and cocoa.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Legumes are good, but be careful with sensitive intestines, which have difficulty digesting them.</p><p>The post <a

class='epvc-label'> Views</span></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The abdominal wall is made up of muscles , connective tissues , and fascia (membrane surrounding muscles, tissues, and organs) that hold internal organs in place and provide structural support.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://healthdiettips.com/"><strong>Abdominal wall hernias</strong></a></span> can occur in different areas of the abdomen, including:</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">RISK FACTORS AND SYMPTOMS OF ABDOMINAL WALL HERNIAS</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Various risk factors can contribute to the development of an abdominal wall hernia.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Congenital weakness : Some people are born with a weak abdominal wall, making them more likely to develop a hernia later in life.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Intense physical exertion : Abdominal overpressure due to intense physical activity, chronic coughing, constipation, or lifting heavy objects can put excessive pressure on the abdominal wall and contribute to the formation of a hernia.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Previous abdominal surgery : People who have had previous abdominal surgery may develop a hernia at the site of the surgical incision due to weak scar tissue.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Obesity : Excess weight and increased intra-abdominal pressure associated with obesity can increase the risk of developing an abdominal hernia .</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Common symptoms of an abdominal wall hernia may include a visible or palpable bulge or bulge in the affected area. The hernia is sometimes painful , especially when subjected to pressure or physical exertion .</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Treatment of abdominal wall hernias usually involves regular monitoring if the hernia is small and asymptomatic . However, in cases where the hernia is painful, large, or likely to cause complications, surgery may be necessary to repair the abdominal wall and return the tissues or internal organs to their normal position.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is important to consult a healthcare professional if you suspect an abdominal wall hernia to receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment recommendations. Treatment options may vary depending on the size, location, and symptoms of the hernia, as well as the patient’s medical history.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">WHY IS ABDOMINAL HERNIA SURGERY NECESSARY?</h2><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Here are some common reasons why surgery may be recommended:</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Risk of complications : Abdominal wall hernias can cause potentially serious complications. For example, an incarcerated or strangulated hernia, meaning the herniated tissues or organs are trapped and cannot be replaced within the abdominal cavity. This can lead to intestinal obstruction or impaired blood flow to the herniated tissues, requiring emergency surgery.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">These symptoms are often more pronounced during physical exertion, coughing, or prolonged standing.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hernia size : Larger hernias generally have a higher risk of complications and are less likely to reduce spontaneously or be corrected by non-surgical methods.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Demanding physical or occupational activities : Physical or occupational activities that cause increased intra-abdominal pressure (lifting heavy objects, intense exercise, etc.) can become problematic for the hernia.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is important to note that each case is unique and the decision to undergo surgery should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional, taking into account your symptoms, medical history, and individual preferences. An abdominal wall specialist will be able to assess your specific condition and recommend the appropriate treatment .</p><p>The post <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/the-different-types-of-abdominal-wall-hernia/" target="_blank">THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ABDOMINAL WALL HERNIA</a> first appeared on <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/" target="_blank">https://healthdiettips.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://healthdiettips.com/the-different-types-of-abdominal-wall-hernia/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Foods to avoid when you have back pain</title> <link>https://healthdiettips.com/foods-to-avoid-when-you-have-back-pain/</link> <comments>https://healthdiettips.com/foods-to-avoid-when-you-have-back-pain/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 27 Nov 2024 06:25:14 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Health]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://healthdiettips.com/?p=155</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>11 ViewsConsuming sugar, even in excessive amounts, can cause the body to release certain regulating hormones, which promote inflammation.

Sugar is present in the form of sucrose (white sugar, molasses, honey) but also in our food, most often in hidden form because it is an excellent preservative in addition to being a flavor enhancer. Avoid sodas, colas, alcoholic beverages, but also confectionery, cakes, candies, as well as mayonnaise, ketchup, and sauces of all kinds.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Cooked fats can cause localized fatty adhesions, particularly on the back: the deep skin tissue ends up sticking to the underlying muscle, forming a block. Avoid all margarines, cooked butter, and heated saturated oils (sunflower oil, palm oil). Meats rich in saturated fatty acids (red meat, cold cuts), as well as pastries and Viennese pastries, will have the same effect. Whenever possible, favor vegetable oils that are labeled “first cold-pressed”: they have not been heated during their manufacture, which guarantees their nutritional quality (preservation of omega 3, 6, and 9).</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Foods to prioritize in case of back pain</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Contractures, aches and <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>pains and back pain</strong></span></a> can be caused by an overly acidifying diet : a diet rich in animal proteins, dairy products, cereals and refined .</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A simple solution is to drink enough water, accompanied by freshly squeezed lemon juice: this will increase elimination and reduce acidity. Our body is made up of 70% water and therefore beneficial for many of our organs, our metabolism, but also our muscles: drinking enough can already help the discs of the spine, made partly of water, as well as making some of our movements more flexible. Drinking also helps eliminate toxins accumulated in the body, sometimes sources of pain due to the accumulation of lactic or uric acid.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Natural anti-inflammatories in food</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Inflammation is a key component of back pain. Our diet is made up of a wide variety of foods that can help regenerate the body, provided they are of good quality. Be wary of ready-made foods, which are most often made from processed raw materials, loaded with preservatives and chemicals but nutritionally devoid. Fruits and vegetables, thanks to the vitamins and numerous antioxidants they contain, have strong anti-inflammatory properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Quercetin is a flavonoid, found mainly in the peel of oranges, grapefruit, apples, red and yellow onions, broccoli, black tea and black grape juice: it is a very powerful antioxidant with strong anti-inflammatory properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Blackcurrant, cranberry, strawberry, and cherry berries also contain anti-inflammatory phytochemicals called proanthocyanidins. Research has shown that cherry extract can fight inflammation ten times better than aspirin.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dark chocolate, with a 70% cocoa content, has proven itself as a first-class anti-inflammatory due to the presence of flavonoids which act on the mechanisms of inflammation, namely cytokines, eicosanoids and nitric oxide.</p><p>The post <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/foods-to-avoid-when-you-have-back-pain/" target="_blank">Foods to avoid when you have back pain</a> first appeared on <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/" target="_blank">https://healthdiettips.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://healthdiettips.com/foods-to-avoid-when-you-have-back-pain/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Modern methods of hernia treatment – what you need to know?</title> <link>https://healthdiettips.com/modern-methods-of-hernia-treatment-what-you-need-to-know/</link> <comments>https://healthdiettips.com/modern-methods-of-hernia-treatment-what-you-need-to-know/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 15 Nov 2024 06:16:52 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Treatment]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://healthdiettips.com/?p=152</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>13 ViewsFor a hernia to occur, two factors must be present: a significant weakening of the natural integumentary wall (muscles, fascia, or other anatomical structures) and an increase in intra-abdominal…</p><p>The post <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/modern-methods-of-hernia-treatment-what-you-need-to-know/" target="_blank">Modern methods of hernia treatment – what you need to know?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/" target="_blank">https://healthdiettips.com</a>.</p>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='epvc-post-count'><span class='epvc-eye'></span> <span class="epvc-count"> 13</span><span class='epvc-label'> Views</span></div><p style="text-align: justify;">For a hernia to occur, two factors must be present: a significant weakening of the natural integumentary wall (muscles, fascia, or other anatomical structures) and an increase in intra-abdominal pressure (pregnancy, chronic constipation, intense physical labor). The most common hernias are inguinal, umbilical, white line, and femoral. which the patient feels as deep pain and a pulling sensation at the site of the hernia. There is usually also a lump that can be felt under the fingers. <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>A hernia</strong></span></a> can also occur at the postoperative scar after abdominal or gynecological surgery, which occurs as a result of excessive and too rapid loading on the site after surgery or as a result of postoperative complications, such as infections of the postoperative wound and around the stoma.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Another serious problem is internal hernias: inter-loop hernias or hiatal hernias, where the natural opening in the diaphragm through which the esophagus passes from the chest to the abdominal cavity is significantly stretched, allowing the stomach to rise towards the chest, causing severe gastric discomfort.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If proper measures are not taken in hernia treatment , the patient may also begin to experience breathing problems and disturbances in the functioning of internal organs.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Types of hernia:</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Inguinal hernias (2/3 of all hernias) are caused by fragments of abdominal organs exiting through the inguinal canal, which can even lead to the development of a scrotal hernia in men.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A hernia of the linea alba most often occurs during pregnancy or abdominal obesity. It is caused by significant relaxation of the tendon sheath of the rectus abdominis muscles. The operation is best performed during a reduction abdominoplasty (removal of the skin’s fatty fold), as the traces of the hernia repair are then invisible.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hiatal hernia is the most common internal hernia. Laparoscopic treatment is the method of choice. The traditional, open method is technically very difficult and carries a huge risk of serious complications and a long recovery. The laparoscopic method, performed by an experienced specialist, minimizes the surgical risk and reduces the recovery period to several days.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Traditional methods of treating hernias</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Traditional methods primarily include so-called open surgeries. During these, the surgeon incises the hernia site and then repairs the defect in the muscle wall or other covering causing the hernia to form.</p><p>The post <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/modern-methods-of-hernia-treatment-what-you-need-to-know/" target="_blank">Modern methods of hernia treatment – what you need to know?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/" target="_blank">https://healthdiettips.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://healthdiettips.com/modern-methods-of-hernia-treatment-what-you-need-to-know/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>How to prevent hair loss?</title> <link>https://healthdiettips.com/how-to-prevent-hair-loss/</link> <comments>https://healthdiettips.com/how-to-prevent-hair-loss/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 11 Oct 2024 06:09:15 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Hair Care]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://healthdiettips.com/?p=149</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>20 ViewsHair loss is not inevitable!

But did you know that what you put on your plate can also have a direct impact on your spine and muscles?<span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://healthdiettips.com/"> A healthy diet</a></strong></span> doesn’t just help you avoid excess weight: it also plays a key role in preventing back pain and musculoskeletal disorders. And when combined with chiropractic care, it can really make a difference.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">How Diet Affects Your Back</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Your spine isn’t just a pile of bones. It’s supported by muscles, spinal discs, and joints, all of which require specific nutrients to stay strong and flexible. Here are the most important ones:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Calcium and vitamin D: Essential for strong bones. A deficiency increases the risk of osteoporosis and therefore vertebral fractures. They are found in almonds, green vegetables, and oily fish. (Hannan et al., 2000)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Proteins: They maintain the muscle mass that supports the back, but in excess, they can acidify the body and weaken bones. The ideal? Focus on plant sources like legumes. (Bonjour, 2011)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Omega-3s: Found in fish, nuts, and seeds, they reduce inflammation, a key factor in chronic back pain. (Calder, 2006)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Antioxidants: These fight oxidative stress, which damages tissues and worsens pain. Eat berries, green vegetables, and turmeric. (Pérez-Torres et al., 2017)</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Link between nutrition and musculoskeletal disorders</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">If you suffer from chronic pain or muscle tension, your diet can be a valuable ally. Here are some guidelines to follow:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Manage inflammation: A diet high in sugar and processed foods promotes inflammation and therefore pain. Conversely, an anti-inflammatory diet can alleviate the symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders .</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Preserve your muscles: good hydration, a sufficient intake of magnesium (almonds, dark chocolate, bananas) and B vitamins (whole grains, eggs) help to reduce muscle tension.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Why combine diet and chiropractic care?</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Diet alone isn’t always enough. That’s where chiropractic comes in. A good chiropractor doesn’t just manipulate your back; they also help you adopt a lifestyle that protects your spine.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Spinal adjustments help restore joint alignment and mobility.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Postural advice avoids bad positions that create unnecessary tension.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dietary recommendations can be tailored to suit your needs to strengthen your back from the inside out.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Conclusion</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Eating healthy isn’t just about your figure or digestion. It’s also a powerful way to prevent back pain and musculoskeletal disorders. So, are you ready to take care of your spine with your next meal?</p><p>The post <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/diet-and-vertebrae-why-does-eating-well-protect-your-back/" target="_blank">Diet and vertebrae: Why does eating well protect your back?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://healthdiettips.com/" target="_blank">https://healthdiettips.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://healthdiettips.com/diet-and-vertebrae-why-does-eating-well-protect-your-back/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel></rss> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
