In the past five years, techniques have been widely available in major medical centers, to the point that some begin to operate without opening the abdomen.

When used for weight loss treatment to surgical method, is supposed to be morbidly obese, which attempts failed more conservative treatments. Surgical treatment is to affect some part of the digestive tract both to give satiety, as to hinder the absorption of certain foods. Read the rest of this entry »

Today there are more than 65 diseases caused by toxic digestive system, and more than 50 million annual visits to the doctor for gastrointestinal problems.
Which estitiquez constipation problems and more serious than we think, 8 of the women suffer from these problems, and constipation in pregnancy more common.

But constipation is a relative term, with a pattern of highly variable intestine from one person to another.
The intestine absorbs water as a waste product generated from digested food. Muscle contractions in the large intestine known as peristalsis, the process of pushing the stool to the rectum. By the time stool reaches the rectum has been, is solid because most of the water has been absorbed.

Obesity and overweight are linked to the existence of an energy imbalance: we eat too much, too fatty, too sweet, while our physical activity and therefore our energy needs have decreased.

It is a metabolic disorder because the body can not properly control blood sugar in the blood, either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or because the cells become insulin resistant or unable to absorb it.
What is insulin? It is a hormone produced by the pancreas, responsible for regulating the level of glucose or sugar in the bloodstream. After a meal of carbohydrates pass through the liver, which stores some of them for later use and frees the other hand into the bloodstream as glucose for immediate use by the body’s organs, muscle fibers and blood cells. When blood sugar increases, the pancreas releases insulin, which promotes glucose uptake by body tissues. Why do we say there is diabetes? Because this process glucose is broken and instead of being absorbed as a nutrient, it accumulates in the bloodstream. The normal glucose level is 65 to 110 mg. per 100 dl. blood. The blood glucose of diabetes can be 3 times higher.
