Diabetes and obesity rates soar to 'shocking' levels!!!!!!
Hi all, today I come to talk about a story that talks about the alarming numbers of diabetes and obesity affecting people in the UK,,
According to figures released in the news concerns the number of people with diabetes has increased by 150,000 in the last year and one in 20 adults in the UK now has the status of obese, according to data from the organization against obesity and poor nutrition
The organization described the figures as staggering and calls on the government internalized more on the subject to take action on it, because it affects a large part of the British population.
There are some risk factors that are directly related to type 2 diabetes and obesity, these are the sedentary lifestyle and poor diet, where over 90% of diabetics (2.5 million people in the UK) have diabetes type two, so in my opinion are bad lifestyles that are promoting these conditions.
Another thing I found alarming are figures showing that about 2.8 million persons 17 and older suffer from diabetes, this is because since they are children practice a sedentary lifestyle and poor diet.
Risk factors for diabetes are overweight have forty years and have close relatives with diabetes ... have wide or larger waist. The symptoms follow this problem include frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, blurred vision, increased thirst and fatigue.
Compared to the United States the figures are even more alarming because the centers of disease control and prevention suggest that diabetes may prevail and increase between one and five years
In conclusion are healthy lifestyles that hinder the increase of these diseases, so a healthy lifestyle, encourage exercise and good nutrition is the best option to take if you want to avoid these diseases.
That's it for today, I hope I have given objective and useful information to the knowledge of each person who reads it.

DEALING WITH STRESS
Hello everybody, today I want to talk you about of a topic very important for our Chilean society in these days: the “Dealing of Stress”.
According to studies by School of Psychology, in partnership with Synovate Chile, conducted a survey that sought to measure the stress level present in all Chileans. The sample, nationally representative, revealed that one in four Chilean has a high stress level, and 27 percent of the population had collapsed to handle difficult situations.
This situation is very preoccupying, because we as health professionals are in charge of dealing stress.
Stress is defined as the consequence of the failure of an organism to respond appropriately to emotional or physical threats, whether actual or imagined. Stress symptoms commonly include a state of alarm and adrenaline production, short-term resistance as a coping mechanism, and exhaustion, as well as irritability, muscular tension, inability to concentrate and a variety of physiological reactions such as headache and elevated heart rate.
Among the causes of stress are: physiological, these causes are related to diseases and injuries of the body, psychological vulnerability is related to emotional and cognitive, social and environmental.
Some consequences of ongoing stress can generate anxiety states ending blocking the functioning of cognitive processes, i.e., our mental clarity.
Recurrent concern, for example, can invade our sleep and stay awake most of the night, and fears that are imposed on all other thoughts are able to distract us from what we are doing.
The central feature of the reaction that causes us stress is uncertainty, an uncertainty that triggers an alert to confirm the possibility of a threat.
But there are different ways or methods to address the problem of stress. There are stress management techniques: massages, leisure activities, relaxation exercises, opt for alternative medicine such as yoga, etc.
Well, is this all for day…….Goodbye.
