Metabolisme

Mange danskere har problemer med stofskiftet. Det giver en række symptomer, som kan afhjælpes med de gode råd i denne bog af to danske eksperter. Er du træt og drænet for energi? Har du kun overskud til at gøre det mest nødvendige, og har du svært ved at overskue tingene og bliver let ked af det? Føles dit hoved som en candyfloss, kan du ikke huske fra næse til mund, og har du svært ved at koncentrere dig? Har du fået vægtproblemer, og er din hud blevet slap og løs, og håret tyndt og skørt? Er dine muskler trætte og ømme? Har man flere af disse ubehagelige symptomer, kan det være et tegn på, at stofskiftet er i ubalance. Denne bog hjælper med at gå bagom symptomerne og finde årsagen. Den forklarer, hvordan man bliver diagnosticeret, og hvor man får hjælp og vejledning. Men ikke mindst beskriver den, hvad man selv helt konkret kan gøre for at få stofskiftet tilbage i balance igen. Få styr på dit stofskifte giver i otte trin viden, inspiration og konkrete værktøjer til at sammensætte og gennemføre en individuelt tilpasset behandlingsstrategi, så man igen kan få energi og overskud i hverdagen. Bogen bygger på anerkendt evidens- og erfaringsbaseret forskning med den nyeste viden og er fyldt med inspiration, eksempler, tests og øvelser. Den henvender sig til alle, uandet om man har højt eller lavt stofskifte, er diagnosticeret eller blot har en fornemmelse af, at stofskiftet er ude af balance. Bogens behandlingsstrategi tager udgangspunkt i naturlig behandling, men bygger bro til konventionel behandling og kan således kombineres med stofskiftemedicin.

Balance i stofskiftet beskriver de særlige personlighedstræk, som er i spil ved stofskifteproblemer, og forklarer, hvordan de skaber en kronisk indre stress, som ødelægger stofskiftet. Epigenetikken viser nemlig, at vores gener i høj grad aktiveres og reguleres som følge af det miljø, vi skaber i vores celler. Og vores personlighed i form af vores tanker og følelser spiller en stor rolle for dette miljø. Kort sagt, vi er vores egen genteknolog og kan påvirke vores genetiske udtryk, som bestemmer, om vi bliver syge eller raske. Når du ændrer de negative tanker og følelser, som stresser dig, og erstatter dem med støttende tanker og overbevisninger, så begynder du at aktivere dine sundhedsfremmende gener. I bogen får du viden og værktøjer, som hjælper dig til at droppe en ødelæggende stofskiftepersonlighed og erstatte den med en ny og selvhelbredende personlighed. Endelig kan du forstå årsagen til de symptomer, der giver dig for højt eller for lavt stofskifte, og pludselig kan du gøre noget ved det, så hverdagen igen bliver overkommelig.

Fordøjelsen er ikke et emne, vi taler højt om – men det burde vi måske, når nu 1,5 millioner danskere går rundt med fordøjelsesproblemer. Blandt andet har op mod hver anden kvinde kronisk oppustet mave, og hver femte henvendelse til lægen drejer sig om mavesmerter.Alle, der har prøvet det, kan skrive under på, at vrøvl med maven går ud over ens generelle velbefindende. Heldigvis er det ret nemt at få identificeret éns personlige maveproblem og få gjort noget ved det – én gang for alle. Og det tager kun seks uger!I Sund mave sådan! tager læge Søs Wollesen læserne med på en guidet tur gennem hele fordøjelsessystemet, og hun giver løsninger og lindring, uanset om man bøvler med hård, løs, stresset eller oppustet mave. Hun fortæller også, hvilken mad og drikke, der skaber ravage i fordøjelsen og hvilken, der understøtter en sund mave og et stærkt immunforsvar.Ud over nyttige oversigter og informative bokse indeholder bogen en 6 ugers kur, som læserne kan følge for at få en mave i balance. Til inspiration er der bag i bogen en lang stribe mavevenlige madopskrifter. God appetit – og rigtig god fordøjelse!

Lægen Carsten Vagn-Hansen, i mange år praktiserende læge og berømt i det ganske land som Radiodoktoren, beskriver i denne bog menneskets fordøjelseskanal "fra mund til bund". Hvert stadium på madens vej fra munden, gennem spiserøret, mavesækken og ud i tarmene beskrives. Undervejs beskrives også lever, galdeblære og bugspytkirtel. Der fortælles om, hvilke sygdomme de forskellige organer kan blive ramt af, og hvordan man kan lindre og afhjælpe dem. Forfatteren kommer med mange gode råd og forslag til, hvordan man holder sig rask og netop undgår disse sygdomme, ikke mindst ved at sørge for at få en sund kost. Kostens betydning og vigtigheden af en god madkultur fremhæves. Bogen er skrevet i et ligefremt sprog og er forsynet med et grundigt stikordsregister, så læserne hurtigt kan finde frem til lige netop det organ eller den sygdom, de er interesseret i.

At tabe sig er ligesom at låne penge i banken –Det skal betales tilbage med renter!Hvis du er enig… så vil denne bog give dig mange AHA-øjeblikke og for altid ændre dit syn på krop og vægt. Din krop er den egentlige chef. Den har alle kort på hånden, for den kontrollerer dit fedtstofskifte såvel som mange af dine andre grundlæggende overlevelsesfunktioner i et lillebitte område nederst i hjernen, ’dyrehjernen’. Hvis du behøver mere søvn, vil den gøre dig træt. Hvis du behøver mere ilt, vil den give dig lyst til at trække vejret hurtigere. Og hvis du behøver mere fedt, vil den gøre dig sulten. Så enkelt er det! Så glem alt om, at du ”bare skal begrænse kalorierne og sørge for motion” for at tabe dig. Din krop har nemlig visse indbyggede genetiske overlevelsesprogrammer, som er designet til at tvinge dig til enten at blive tykkere eller tyndere, hver gang den føler, at dette vil hjælpe med til at holde dig i live. Jon Gabriel kalder disse programmer: ’FAT-programmer’ – Famine And Temperature (hungersnød og temperatur). Din krop kan blive narret til at aktivere FAT-programmerne, selv om du ikke behøver at lagre yderligere fedt. Det gode er, at du også på samme måde kan narre kroppen til det modsatte – at forbrænde fedt.Så snart du forstår og identificerer problemerne, og du begynder at tage hånd om dem, ændrer alt sig.

Maintaining an ideal weight throughout life is the most beneficial thing someone can do for their body. A healthy body and ideal weight can be achieved with proper nutrition and lifestyle, starting from childhood and even infancy. Therefore, it is important for those raising children to be conscious of this issue and to be good role models and guides for their children by exhibiting the healthiest lifestyle habits. We know that it is almost impossible to remove excess fat tissue acquired during childhood from the body at later ages. Body fat accumulation is usually evaluated by body mass index (BMI), which is calculated using weight and height proportions. BMI is an effective and useful tool for both people and healthcare professionals to track body fat percentage. However, when monitoring body fat with BMI special adjustments need to be made in children, the elderly, different genders, and individuals with high muscle mass. This book provides a comprehensive overview of BMI as a screening measure.

The endocrine system is a complex network of glands and organs in our bodies that produce and release hormones. These hormones serve as chemical messengers, controlling various bodily functions and maintaining overall homeostasis. As students delving into the field of internal medicine, understanding the intricacies of the endocrine system is crucial, as it plays a significant role in diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions.The main players in the endocrine system are the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, and reproductive glands. Each of these glands produces specific hormones that regulate different bodily functions. For instance, the thyroid gland secretes hormones that control metabolism, while the adrenal glands produce cortisol and adrenaline, which help manage stress responses.The hypothalamus, located in the brain, serves as the master regulator of the endocrine system. It sends signals to the pituitary gland, which in turn controls the other glands. This intricate communication system ensures that hormone levels remain balanced throughout the body.When the endocrine system malfunctions, it can lead to various disorders. For instance, diabetes, a condition characterized by high blood sugar levels, occurs when the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin or when the body becomes resistant to its effects. Another common disorder is hypothyroidism, which arises when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones, resulting in fatigue, weight gain, and sluggish metabolism.As students of internal medicine, it is crucial to understand how to diagnose and treat endocrine disorders. Physicians use a combination of blood tests, imaging techniques, and patient history to assess hormone levels and identify any abnormalities. Treatment options typically involve hormone replacement therapy, medications, or lifestyle changes.Studying the endocrine system also opens up opportunities for further exploration in specialized areas such as reproductive endocrinology, which focuses on hormonal disorders related to fertility and pregnancy, and endocrine oncology, which deals with hormone-related cancers.

This book addresses and dissects the roles and crosstalk mechanisms for the 48 human nuclear receptors (NR) in human health and disease. After a State-of-the-Art introduction by an undisputed and celebrated field leader to provide an overview of the field and its significance, chapters are organized into six sections. The first three sections discuss NR roles in Reproduction & Development, Metabolism and Central Systems. These present to the reader our current understanding of NR signaling in the development and functioning of the reproductive system; the roles in the regulation of energy metabolism; and how NR signaling is more widely integrated into systemic functions from calcium flux to circadian rhythm. The subsequent three sections dissect how aberrant NR functions drive Cancer; how new insights into Genomic Interaction are helping to reveal how NR disruption drives disease; and finally, how Translational Efforts are exploiting this understanding from developing novel NR ligands to establishing how underlying genetic variation impacts NR function. Within these sections the chapters also illustrate emerging understanding of how the epigenome and non-coding genome combine to regulate NR function and impact dysfunction. Increasingly these insights cross-fertilize over cell and disease boundaries and it is unsurprising that NR are being explored in novel and new arenas such as the context of neurological disorders and depression. Thus, there is wide scope for re-purposing of licensed drugs and development of new NR-targeting therapies for a host of conditions and diseases. This unique book brings together many of the leading figures in NR research from across the globe, to discuss emerging roles and their implications for human health and disease. It summarizes the state of the art and shows signposts for future research to further shape this influential field.
