This #NewVision of #man recognizes the implicate order of our #universe in which each #person, each #cell, each #molecule, and each #electron are part of this efficient order and #energy harmony. #Premilife
#EnergyMedicine: the basis of the states of health and disease at the levels and the relationship of energy that each person has with their environment since everything in the universe are related to an energy network.
#NuclearInteractions are also responsible for a whole range of processes that occur in all #matter with #AtomicOrganization and, therefore, also in #man. #Premilife Dr.Ricardo Kotliroff
Strong #NuclearEnergy is the force that forces #AtomicNuclei to remain united.That is to the quarks to each other and the neutrons and protons, these remain glued because the #StrongNuclear interaction forces them to it
The nuclei of the #atoms are formed by #protons and #neutrons, and these in turn by smaller #particles called #quarks. #Premilife Dr.Ricardo Kotliroff
All #LivingBeings are made up of #atoms. Without them, #life would not exist as we know it. #Premilife Dr.Ricardo Kotliroff
Every day we exchange matter and energy with our environment to #StayAlive. Throughout our lives from birth to death for the normal functioning of all our #VitalProcesses we need a supply and a constant balance of energy
We’re focusing on the energy of the body, and the energies of disease. #Premilife Dr.Ricardo Kotliroff
If you are a researcher, you are trying to figure out what the question is as well as what the answer is. Edward Witten
There was a long history of speculation that in quantum gravity, unlike Einstein’s classical theory, it might be possible for the topology of spacetime to change. Edward Witten
In string theory, the ‘Mind of God’ is cosmic music resonating in 11-dimensional hyperspace. Michio Kaku
In string theory, all particles are vibrations on a tiny rubber band; physics is the harmonies on the string; chemistry is the melodies we play on vibrating strings; the universe is a symphony of strings. Michio Kaku
The universe, according to quantum physics, has no single past, or history. The fact that the past takes no definite form means that observations you make on a system in the present affect its past.” – Stephen Hawking
#QuantumBiology refers to applications of #QuantumMechanics and theoretical chemistry to biological objects and problems. Example of #QuantumPhenomena in #BiologicalSystems is the conversion of #ChemicalEnergy into motion
The intermediate level, the chords and tempos, has to do with how the biochemistry and biophysics are organized, arranged, played out in space and time to produce a creature who grows and divides and is. Ursula Goodenough
The biochemistry and biophysics are the notes required for life; they conspire, collectively, to generate the real unit of life, the organism. Ursula Goodenough
The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth. Niels Bohr
Your theory is crazy, but it’s not crazy enough to be true. Niels Bohr
Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real. Niels Bohr
No, no, you’re not thinking; you’re just being logical. Niels Bohr
Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself its own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it. Niels Bohr
Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe. Erwin Schrodinger
What we observe as material bodies and forces are nothing but shapes and variations in the structure of space. Erwin Schrodinger
I think I am intrigued by paradoxes. If something seems to be a paradox, it has something deeper, something worth exploring. Roger Penrose
Sometimes it’s the detours which turn out to be the fruitful ideas. Roger Penrose
The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless. Steven Weinberg
String theory-We know a lot of things, but what we don’t know is a lot more. Edward Witten
Spreading out the particle into a string is a step in the direction of making everything we’re familiar with fuzzy. You enter a completely new world where things aren’t at all what you’re used to. Edward Witten
If I take the theory, as we have it now, I would conclude that extra dimensions really exist. They’re part of nature. We don’t really know how big they are yet, but we hope to explore that in various ways. Edward Witten
But the beauty of Einstein’s equations, for example, is just as real to anyone who’s experienced it as the beauty of music. We’ve learned in the 20th century that the equations that work have inner harmony. Edward Witten
As for the forces, electromagnetism, and gravity, we experience in everyday life. But the weak and strong forces are beyond our ordinary experience. Edward Witten
String theory is an attempt at a deeper description of nature by thinking of an elementary particle not as a little point but as a little loop of vibrating string. Edward Witten
“Quantum physics tells us that no matter how thorough our observation of the present, the (unobserved) past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities.” Stephen Hawking,
“The atoms or elementary particles themselves are not real; they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather than one of things or facts.” – Werner Heisenberg
“Not only does God play dice but… he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.” – Stephen Hawking
Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts. Albert Einstein
Education is not the learning of facts, it’s rather the training of the mind to think. Albert Einstein
What is right is not always popular, and what is popular is not always right. Albert Einstein
A human being is part of a whole called by us the universe. Albert Einstein
A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. Albert Einstein
In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. Albert Einstein
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex… It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. Albert Einstein
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. Albert Einstein
Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. Albert Einstein
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. Albert Einstein
“I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.” Albert Einstein
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” Albert Einstein
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” Albert Einstein
“In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” Albert Einstein
“Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.” Albert Einstein
״I want to know how energy builds and allows life in your genes, molecules, mind, and spirit.״ – Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
It is my dream that Chinese medicine will help us conquer life-threatening diseases worldwide and that people across the globe will enjoy its benefits for health promotion. Tu Youyou
The question is not whether but how do the actions of a given gene influence some interesting aspect of behavior. Jeffrey C. Hall
One sometimes finds what one is not looking for. Alexander Fleming
The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas. Linus Pauling
Knowing how to calculate something is not the same as understanding it. Frank Wilczek
For me, the study of these laws is inseparable from a love of Nature in all its manifestations. Murray Gell-Mann
If you don’t make mistakes, you’re not working on hard enough problems. And that’s a big mistake. Frank Wilczek
Sometimes the probabilities are very close to certainties, but they’re never really certainties. Murray Gell-Mann
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. Albert Einstein
“I have not yet lost a feeling of wonder, and of delight, that this delicate motion should reside in all the things around us, revealing itself only to him who looks for it.” – Edward M. Purcell
“I am one of those who think, like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries.” – Marie Curie
Our society, in which reigns an eager desire for riches and luxury, does not understand the value of science. It does not realize that science is the most precious part of its moral patrimony. – Marie Curie
We live in a world where the distinction between true and false appears to become increasingly blurred by the manipulation of facts, by the exploitation of uncritical minds and the pollution of the language. Arne Tiselius
Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different. – Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. World Health Organization

#ChildObesity prevention – Parents should offer them a #HealthyDiet and encouraging them to practice #SportsActivities to rule out any future disease related to an #overweight condition #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The #prevention of #obesity is a simple task and consists basically in the consumption of a balanced and #HealthyDiet and frequent #PhysicalActivity. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The prevention of obesity is an important issue to prevent the incidence of this disease to continue spreading worldwide. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In treatment for #ObeseElderly, #PhysicalActivity should not be demanding and should be adapted to the person’s fitness condition. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In #treatment for #ObeseElderly, the patient’s #nutrition should be optimized through the consumption of #HealthierFoods and the elimination of junk or #HarmfulFood. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In treatment for #ObeseElderly, it is preferable to increase #PhysicalActivity than restricting #diet. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Increased waist diameter in #OlderAdults, may predict the risk of diseases, such as #diabetes, #hypertension, and #Coronary #HeartDisease, and the risk of #EarlyMortality #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Obesity can cause many complications in older adults, depending on the amount of body fat and its distribution in the body. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Obesity in older people can also be produced by lower levels of androgens, growth hormones, and cytokines. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#BodyFat increases with age and #MuscleMass are lost during life, mainly due to the lack of #PhysicalActivity. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#ElderlyAdults are another group in which treatment against #obesity is carried out differently due to their #PhysicalConditions. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#ChildhoodObesity – It is necessary for the general #population and the #schools to implement and participate in programs that inform them to fight the #disease. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
On a public #health level, prevention of #ChildhoodObesity is not only an issue that should only involve the child’s #family. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#ChildhoodObesity – #PhysicalActivity should be promoted in the form of games, sports, and outdoor activities, which are more fun for the little ones than a more formal #ExercisePlan. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Childhood #obesity treatments focus primarily on #prevention, rather than a #WeightLoss plan. The #diet should be modified and changed to one in which fresh and #HealthyFoods are abundant #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Musculoskeletal complications, #SleepApnea, #InsulinResistance, the risk of respiratory, cardiovascular, hepatic, metabolic diseases at an early age can increase if obesity occurs from childhood. #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
At #birth #obesity and #maternal #prenatal #smoking contribute to the onset of the #disease as these alter the #WeightRegulation in the child. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Obesity treatment aims: Reduce metabolic and #cardiovascular risk factors-Modify harmful #EatingHabits-Avoid weight oscillations- Restore #PsychosomaticBalance-Improve functional capacity and quality of life #Premilife
#WeightLoss is the main goal of a treatment for obesity, as reducing body fat levels can increase the quality of life, health, well-being, and prevent complications such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. #Premilife
#SleepApnea, #BreathingDifficulty, and #PsychologicalFactors, such as #SelfEsteem, are highly influenced by #WeightLoss. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The likelihood of severe complications due to #overweight or #obesity depends directly on the total amount of #fat, the way it is distributed, and from the total #MuscleMass. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In #obese #children, it is important to improve #family dynamics to improve #motivation and #cooperation. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In children with #MorbidObesity, alterations in #EatingBehavior with loss of control and #SomaticDisorders increase. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Anxiety is observed in 55% of the cases of chronic #obesity and is accompanied in the majority of the #patients of the same #maternal #pathology. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In children (between) 5 and 16 years old, chronic #obesity is associated with #DefiantNegativist disorder in both sexes and #DepressiveDisorder in males; #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Emotional and #psychosocial consequences of #obesity in children can lead to social isolation and a negative #BodyImage, causing #anxiety, #depression, and failing grades. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Among #emotional and #psychosocial consequences of #obesity, children must face greater #discrimination, #rejection, #teasing, and #harassment from other #children. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Another factor in patients with #schizophrenia is the #NegativeSymptoms of the #disease such as flat affect and lack of satisfaction in daily life that leads to inactivity and to the development of obesity #Premilife
Adiposity in the abdominal area, which is intimately related to the #MetabolicSyndrome and favors abnormalities in #CortisolRegulation is observed in schizophrenic patients #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
Among 42-60% of patients with schizophrenia are overweight or obese. #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
#AtypicalAntipsychotics produce obesity because it attenuates the function of glucose transporter function, producing elevations of the surrounding glucose and insulin-compensating hypersecretion #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
Atypical antipsychotics produce obesity through the following mechanisms- By the dopaminergic antagonistic action that induces weight gain #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
Atypical antipsychotics produce obesity altering the function of the lateral area of the hypothalamus which is vital for regulating body weight through its muscarinic and histaminergic action (H1)#Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
Atypical antipsychotics produce obesity through the following mechanisms. Because of its sedative effects that would cause a decrease in physical activity #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
#Obesity is present in #Mental illnesses such as #schizophrenia where there is an increased risk of being developed due to the side effects of psychotropic substances like #AtypicalAntipsychotics #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
#NightEating Syndrome-It has been determined this #syndrome is more frequent in #women, covering 66% of the cases, being manifested in average from 39 years old. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#NightEating Syndrome-Those patients who suffer from severe #obesity are more likely to suffer from this #disorder. Sometimes the phenomenon is caused by the consumption of certain #drugs such as #zolpidem. #Premilife
#NightEating Syndrome- #Insomnia, difficulty #FallingAsleep, or frequent discontinuation of sleep is accompanied by #NocturnalHyperphagia; the need to eat awakens you and you can’t sleep if you don’t eat. #Premilife
#NightEating Syndrome-Those who present this syndrome usually consume about 35% of their total daily calories after dinner or during the late hours of the night, with only 10% being caloric intake before dinner#Premilife
#NightEating Syndrome- Night intake can also occur when waking up at night, being a #conscious phenomenon, as the person remembers #eating at those hours. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#NightEating Syndrome-occurs in approximately 10% of #obese people, who begin treatment for the #disease or a special #DietaryRegimen. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#NightEating Syndrome-You can even not eat lunch and not feel very #hungry until the afternoon. After dinner, among 25-59% of the cases, an excessive #FoodIntake episode occurs. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#NightEating Syndrome-Morning anorexia manifests as fasting or poorly ingested intake in the morning due to the alteration of the biological rhythm, which delays the appearance of appetite #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#NightEating Syndrome-occurs when there is anorexia during the morning hours, nocturnal hyperphagia and insomnia with a modification of the neuroendocrine pattern of the #Hypothalamic #Pituitary #Adrenal Axis #Premilife
#BingeEating episodes-A negative affect is dominant. These binge-eating episodes are usually presented at least once a week for mild cases, between 8 and 13 times per week in severe cases. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#BingeEating episodes-#Eat when you are alone until you feel unpleasantly full and then experiencing feelings of #frustration, #shame, and #displeasure with yourself. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
There has been a described relationship between #BingeEating disorder and the consumption of certain substances, like #drugs and #alcohol. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
There has been a described relationship between #BingeEating disorder and some types of #PersonalityDisorders, such as #BorderlinePersonality disorder, avoidant and #ObsessiveCompulsive disorder #Premilife
There has been a described relationship between #BingeEating disorder and others, such as #bipolarity, #depression and #anxiety #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obese people with #BingeEating disorder may present greater psychiatric symptomatology, such as low self-esteem, body image distortion, #depression, high impulsiveness, and perfectionism.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#BingeEating disorder-Besides deterioration in the quality of life, there is an increased risk of #anxiety, #morbidity, #SocialMaladaptation, #overweight, and #mortality. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#BingeEating disorder-In the long term, an individual may develop a negative #self-evaluation because he or she can’t control his or her actions. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#BingeEating disorder can be caused by #FoodRestriction, #boredom, #stress, and #NegativeFeelings, among others. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#BingeEating disorder is characterized mainly by the sudden manifestation of #CompulsiveImpulses oriented at #FoodIntake and no presence of #behaviors that allow compensating such fact. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Other disorders, such as anorexia and bulimia, present, unlike Binge Eating Disorder, compensatory #behaviors, such as #fasting, excessive #PhysicalExercise or self-induction of #vomiting #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#BingeEating Disorder-The #prevalence of this #disorder is 1-3% and may increase 10-20% in #obese people who start a #diet plan or regime to #LoseWeight. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Binge Eating Disorder-It is the compulsive consumption of large quantities of food in a short time, you may feel a sense of loss of control and after intake, a feeling of deep remorse and regret#Premilife Dr.#R.Kotliroff
The obese, which often can be judged, discriminated, and taken as an unattractive person, without security and without will, causing them to develop a negative #BodyImage and alterations in their behavior #Premilife
Regarding the level of #meaning, society’s current preoccupation with #physical appearance and having the perfect #body can negatively affect the #obese #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
During #development and #growth, a #mother who #overfeeds her #child, not considering its real #needs can cause and derive in a lack of knowledge of the #BodyImage and #identity in the child.#Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
On a content level, the obese often have difficulty in perceiving, nominating, and discriminating among feelings mainly hunger and satiety as food acquires an attractive value that can substitute other emotions#Premilife
Regarding form schema, #obese individuals suffer from underestimation, meaning they consider their proportions as inferior to those of others. #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
#SelfEsteem, which is the valorative #feeling of our #being, is considerably related to the #perception of the #BodyImage an #individual has about itself. #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
#Body content corresponds to those #physical and #psychological #perceptions we have of ourselves, also encompasses our ability to establish #relationships with #people, whether it be #friendly or #affective. #Premilife
Obese people, in terms of body schema, have some concern and dissatisfaction with their physical appearance, altering their own perception, so that it underestimates how their own body is perceived. #Premilife
These three spheres – form, content, and meaning,- are closely related to how an individual perceives its #BodyImage, something much more conflictive in #obese individuals.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The classical dimensions and forms of the #HumanBeing constitute the reference from which a person can compare its own #BodyImage. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#BodyImage #perception can be defined as the #conscious and #unconscious representation of the body, on the level of #form, #content, and #meaning. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
A distorted #BodyImage is a #PsychologicalDisorder that can affect the person by making it subjectively believe its #body looks different from what it really is. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Among #PsychologicalAlterations frequently found in #obese people, we can include those related to the #perception of #BodyImage and #EatingDisorders. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In emotional #EatingBehavior, hyperphagia is a pathological form of defense when exposed to #PsychologicalStress, especially in #ImmaturePersonalities with #DepressiveTraits and #anxiety. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity is one of the most common #SocialStigmas that present high #psychopathology and #psychiatric comorbidity that can be the cause or complications derived from it. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff

#HumanBody-The fundamental characteristic was #ambivalence. The body can have a #SymbolicValue defined as #beautiful, or horrible and impure #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Throughout history, the perception of the reality of the #HumanBody and its symbolic and moral value has changed between different cultures. The fundamental characteristic was ambivalence. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#LowCaloric diets are not effective as a treatment for obesity, individuals often regain their #LostWeight, because they feel #guilty, embarrassed, and criticized for their failure they develop other #psychopathologies
In some #ObesePeople, following magic or very #LowCaloric diets as a desperate measure to #LoseWeight has generated #PsychologicalProblems, such as #anxiety, depression, weakness, nervousness, and irritability. #Premilife
#SocialPressure is one of the main problems the #obese face and can trigger related #psychopathies. Developing #PsychologicalProblems will depend on their #MedicalHistory and their previous #conflicts. #Premilife
The perception of #obesity by the current society which demands certain #BeautyStandards can cause problems in #relationships with others, obstacles in job search and looking for a romantic partner #DrRicardoKotliroff
The perception of obesity by current society, which demands certain beauty standards, can cause self-esteem problems in the obese #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Although no #PersonalityDisorder has been directly related to #obesity the obese may develop #PsychologicalProblems capable of affecting quality of life and #InterpersonalRelationships. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#FoodAddiction. From the obese’s perspective of #FoodDependence, the #obese person will constantly deny or ignore the negative effects of that #addiction.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Family and #SocioculturalFactors influence early #addiction to #food. According to this model, from the obese’s perspective of #FoodDependence, it forms a part of its (lifestyle).#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity #AddictivePersonality: #Food, in this case, can become an element that generates #dependency, and obesity in a person who is unaware of its own limits in terms of food.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The #AddictivePersonality is one that not only has a physical and chemical need, but also an #EmotionalState related to #ChemicalFactors connected to the feelings and #BiologicalNeeds of each individual. #Premilife
Some authors have dared to talk about an #AddictivePersonality associated with obesity, by finding common factors in obese people, similar to those found in addicts and patients with chronic diseases.#DrRicardoKotliroff
The obese use food in response to different emotions they suffer during the day. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#EatingDisorders tells us how the #obese have a hard time identifying their own #emotions, making it difficult to differentiate #hunger from #satiety or other emotions. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity does not affect the personality nor does it generate associated disorders, it can affect other #psychological elements, not related to a particular #personality and related to other psychic structures.#Premilife
Multiple studies, however, have identified 3-10 #personality subtypes among #obese individuals, without a unique personality type or #PersonalityDisorder related specifically to it. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The diversity of #personality profiles among the patients that suffer from #obesity has also been an obstacle when assessing the #PsychologicalFactors that influence them. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
There are no #PsychologicalDisorders directly related to #obesity, but many obese people often develop #psychopathies, such as feelings of #inferiority, #depression, and #anxiety. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Psychology is an important area in the life of every #HumanBeing, and it must be considered in all #MedicalTreatments, especially in complex and #ChronicDiseases. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The treatment of obesity is not excluded from the psychological and social consequences the patient suffers. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
It has been concluded that #obesity can reduce at least 2-4 years of the #AverageLife, while severe obesity can decrease it by up to 10 years.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff

#Obesity. What contributes to #obesity? Some causes have their origin in the interaction of certain psychological factors, such as stress, tension, anxiety, sadness, and depression. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
What contributes to #obesity? On a biological level, some manifest on how to recognize “when the food we eat is sufficient” and we stop eating if this fails we don’t feel satiated and we continue to eat unnecessarily.
#Obesity. The results of clinical treatments carried out in obese patients during the last 30 years have evidenced #obesity can be considered a #ChronicDisease, of multifactorial origin. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity. The main characteristic of #obesity is the excessive accumulation of #fat and #adipose #tissue in the #body. Obesity can have different origins or causes. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity. The number of #calories a person needs to stay #healthy varies depending on #age, #gender, #metabolic rate, and frequency of #PhysicalActivity. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Overconsumption of unhealthy foods over a long period is one of the main reasons a person can develop #obesity. When we eat too many #calories, the #body stores them in the form of #fats. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity. A combination of a sedentary lifestyle, excessive consumption of hypercaloric foods, pathological behavior, and genetic predisposition are the main causes. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity. The severity of obesity as a disease has been increasing in recent decades, due to genetic and environmental factors, among others. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity. Since ancient times the main objective of medicine has been to understand and cure the diseases that ail humanity. Obesity is a disease that dates back to very remote eras. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff

#SugarAddiction – A great benefit of curing sugar addiction is that it reduces your chances of suffering from #DiabetesMellitus. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – Many experts claim that more than half of the cancers that are diagnosed can be completely prevented. If you eliminate refined sugars from your daily meal plan. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Catenin is a protein involved in the formation and growth rate of cancer cells, only depends on blood sugar levels. More sugar leads to more catenin and accelerated development of cancer. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
When any of those #cancer cells protected by lactate reaches the blood or #LymphaticSystem, it will travel through them to another organ where the tumor will form a new colony and it will do a #metastasis. #Premilife
With the blocked #ImmuneSystem, the neighboring murdered healthy cells, its tendency to reproduce the cancer cell turned immortal and we have an exponential cancerous cell development #Premilife
Lactate surrounds #cancer cells with an acidic shield that acts as a barrier against the cells of the ImmuneSystem, especially the NK cells powerful lymphocytes that dedicate to neutralize cancer cells #Premilife
Discarded lactic acid elevates the PH that surrounds the tumor dissolves the healthy #CellsMembranes and acts as an #apoptosis activator of healthy cells which allows the #tumor to have more room to grow. #Premilife
#SugarAddiction – Oxygen is a potent growth inhibitor, therefore, functioning and obtaining oxygen-free energy by means of glucose allows cancer cells to reproduce rapidly. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – Huge amounts of glucose are required for the #cancer cell to get the same amount of energy through glycolysis, as with the common respiratory process in the mitochondria. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – Apoptosis is also known as programmed cell death, regulates the process by which a cell commits suicide. A cancerous cell is obviously not interested in this function #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction -The mitochondria control other processes, among which apoptosis is found, also known as programmed cell death, which regulates the process by which a cell commits suicide #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff

The development of an #insulin inhibitor is investigated for use in #cancer treatment protocols. It was observed that experimental #MammaryTumors regress in the absence of #insulin. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
About 80% of all #cancers #mutate and mimic the effect of #insulin. This may be the reason that #cancer and #diabetes rates seem to increase at the same rate. #Premilife #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – Researchers at the Harvard Medical School #Cancer Center found that 80% of all cancers #mutate and mimic the effect of #insulin.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction-#Cancer #cells make use of the #hormone #insulin to grow so the more #sugar you get the more insulin you have and the more you grow, the more cancer spreads and multiplies. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Cancer – Increase in insulin production that has been linked in some cases to the development of #PancreaticCancer. Pancreas cancerous cells love sugar. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
When you consume #sugars, your body produces #insulin to control your #blood sugar levels. But overloading the body with sugar can cause problems with the regulation of #PancreaticInsulin. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – The relationship between #sugar and #cancer are produced by the relationship between sugar and #catenin #protein. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – The relationship between sugar and cancer are produced by interactions such as the role of sugar providing energy to the cancer cell. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff

#SugarAddiction – A great benefit that you will get by curing your sugar addiction is that it reduces the risk of certain cancers #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – When the #body and #brain have continuous sugar peaks in the #blood due to a sugar diet, this changes your brain chemistry and can lead to serious depression and anxiety. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – When the #body and #brain have continuous #sugar peaks in the #blood due to a sugar diet, the body becomes insensitive to #insulin and insulin becomes less effective. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – The #brain needs a constant chemical supply in a delicate balance, including glucose and insulin. When sugars enter the body, insulin opens the cells for sugars to enter. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Older adults who drank more than four servings of #SoftDrinks a day were 30% more likely to be diagnosed with depression than those who drank unsweetened water, coffee, or tea #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff

#SugarAddiction-Obesity is one of the main risk factors for high blood pressure. This makes your heart and your circulatory system make an excessive effort and the need to work harder. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction-A benefit of curing sugar addiction is lower blood pressure #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction-Food labels contain information on the number of calories and the amount of sugar they have. Reading them will help you make healthy choices when grocery shopping.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction-Remember that each gram of sugar gives you 4 kcal and to know the amount we consume, we will have to multiply each gram of free sugar by 4 in the food we eat throughout the day.#Premilife
#SugarAddiction- WHO-Adults and children who consume less than 5% of daily calories of “free sugars”, about 25 grams of sugar per day or six teaspoons, would have additional health benefits.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction- WHO-Adults and children who consume less than 10% of daily calories of “free sugars” directly reduces the risk of suffering from associated diseases, such as diabetes or heart disease.#Premilife
#SugarAddiction- World Health Organization-Scientific evidence shows that adults and children who consume less than 10% of daily calories in the form of “free sugars” are more likely to have a normal weight #Premilife
#SugarAddiction-The calories that must be consumed daily vary from person to person and depend on many factors such as age, gender, physical activity, and basal metabolism of each person.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction-The more you drink sugar-sweetened beverages, the higher your sugar intake, which can put you at risk of gaining weight and becoming obese.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction-You may have thought that some drinks: fruit, sports energy and soft drinks, sweetened tea, are perfectly healthy but sugar-sweetened beverages are the main source of sugar in most countries.#Premilife Dr
#SugarAddiction-Most of the free sugar we consume is found in processed and manufactured products such as cakes, cookies, donuts, thick syrups such as those added to canned fruits, soft drinks, and more. #Premilife
#SugarAddiction- Too much #sugar can take its toll. The most obvious effect is #WeightGain. A large amount of energy without enough activity causes your body to store the rest as fat.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction-You can consume a little without doing anything good or bad to the body, but too much #sugar can take its toll. The most obvious effect is #WeightGain. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction-The survival instinct of our ancestors was focused on high-calorie #foods for #energy. #Fats and #sugars are ideal for this, that’s why we all love eating them.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction-Too much sugar also makes your insulin levels rise, which regulates the internal sugar balance. This causes your metabolism to slow. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction-Added sugar only provides empty calories without any real nutritional value, in addition to a flavor and reaction that makes our brain always crave more. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction-Free sugars are present everywhere. Refined foods with added sugars provide calories, but they don’t have vitamins, minerals, or fiber.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction- Many people consume sugar as a regular part of their diet in all countries. You may be one of those people. If you are, you should consider reducing your consumption. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction- The #brain transformations in sugar addiction is identical to brain transformations observed in #drug #addicts and #alcohol addicts. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction is responsible for the failure of most #diets. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction-Tolerance. This cycle of sugar cravings worsens as the addiction progresses and with it, obesity and its associated diseases worsen.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction-Tolerance. With time, the #cravings become stronger and force you to increase the amount of #food and soft drinks you consume to achieve the sensation of pleasure. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction. Tolerance means you now need more stimulus to achieve the same feeling of pleasure This translates into a behavior where you want more and more of what causes the addiction, whether it’s sugar or alcohol
#Sugar Addiction. As the dopamine released by sugar stimulation binds to its receptor called Dopamine 2 it causes reactions that bombard you with sensations of pleasure and satisfaction#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In the brain is a reward center, when you eat processed foods or drinks that are delicious because they are full of added sugar that sugar reaches the brain’s reward center and stimulates the cells to release dopamine.
#Sugar Addiction. The neurotransmitter dopamine plays a critical factor in all types of addiction, whether it be drugs, alcohol, or even food addiction due to sugar. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction. Sugar is a new drug, and research has shown that sugar can be as addictive as cocaine. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction. Large producers in the food industry replaced fats – their taste and nutritional qualities – with processed sugar. Since then, sugar consumption has skyrocketed#Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction. Its predominance dates from the seventies when the food industry was forced to replace malicious fats, once regarded as the sole culprits of obesity and several health problems, with sugar #Premilife
#Sugar Addiction. From breakfast cereals to salad dressing, from bread loaves to the ketchup for your fries, it is both amazing and terrifying how much of it is everywhere! #Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction. That ingredient can be sinister and addictive, but it is always present in our diet. #Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction. We usually don’t stop to think about what our #food contains, but we should. In many of our meals, one ingredient is often in excess. We are talking about sugar #Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
With good attention to medical and nutritional needs, it is possible for individuals with #ProgressiveSupranuclear Palsy to live a decade or more after the first symptoms of the disease.#Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
#ProgressiveSupranuclear Palsy – The most common #complications are #choking and #pneumonia, #HeadInjury, and #fractures caused by falls. #Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
Differential diagnosis,#ProgressiveSupranuclear Palsy and strokes, Many lacunar strokes in the basal ganglia and deep white matter can look like PSP; however, this disorder is nondegenerative and grows more gradually.
People with progressive supranuclear palsy show build-up of the abnormal protein tau in affected brain cells, while people with Parkinson’s disease show build-up of a different protein known as alpha-synuclein #Premilife
Although people with Parkinson’s disease benefit from the drug levodopa, people with #ProgressiveSupranuclear Palsy respond minimally and only briefly to this drug. #Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
Tremors are common in individuals with Parkinson but is rare in #ProgressiveSupranuclear Palsy . #Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
There are similarities between #ProgressiveSupranuclear Palsy and Parkinson disease you should take note of, including beginning in late middle age, slow movement, and rigidity of muscles. #Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
Eye movements are not normal in #ProgressiveSupranuclear Palsy but close to normal in #Parkinson disease. #Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
Speech and swallowing difficulties are much more common and severe in #ProgressiveSupranuclear Palsy than in Parkinson’s disease and it shows up earlier in the course of the disease.#Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
People with #ProgressiveSupranuclear Palsy usually stand straight at times and even tilt their heads backward, though they tend to fall backward. This is known as axial rigidity. #Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
Both #ProgressiveSupranuclear Palsy and the disease of #Parkinson cause rigidity, difficulty in movement, and clumsiness, but progressive supranuclear palsy is more rapidly progressive as compared to that of Parkinson.
The only proven risk for #ProgressiveSupranuclear Palsy is age. The condition typically affects people around the age of 60 and it does not affect people under the age of 40.
#ProgressiveSupranuclear Palsy Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is usually done to out rule other illness. In advanced cases, Magnetic Resonance Imaging shows a characteristic reduction in midbrain size#Premilife
Another possible cause of #ProgressiveSupranuclear palsy is cellular damage caused by free radicals, reactive molecules produced by all cells during the process which food is changed into energy in the body. #Premilife
#PSP causes-possibility is that exposure to some unknown substance, a chemical in the food, air, or water can slowly damage some certain vulnerable areas of the brain#Premilife #Dr.RicardoKotliroff

The accumulation of tau puts # PSPin a group of disorders called the tauopathies, which also includes other disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, corticobasal degeneration, and some forms of frontotemporal degeneration.
#PSP-The hallmark of this disease is the accumulation of abnormal deposits of the protein tau in nerve cells in the brain, an abnormally phosphorylated tau protein so the cells do not work properly and die. #Premilife
#PSP-There is a central theory in many #NeurodegenerativeDiseases that once the unusual aggregates of #proteins like #tau form in a #cell, they can affect a linked cell to also form the protein clumps. #Premilife
#ProgressiveSupranuclear palsy, Genetic, Microtubules help cells maintain their shape, help in cell division, and are important for the transport of materials within cells and to transmit information to other nerve cells.
#ProgressiveSupranuclear palsy, Genetic, Protein tau is linked with microtubules, the structures that support a nerve cell’s long processes that transmit information to other nerve cells. #Premilife #Dr.RicardoKotliroff
#ProgressiveSupranuclear palsy Genetic cause from a change in the MAPT gene, which gives faulty instructions for making tau to the nerve cell. Tau proteins are proteins that control or stabilize microtubules in the cell

A diet rich in fatty acids and omega-3 such as Japanese food or incorporating fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, prickly pear, and herring into the diet may decrease the risk of developing #MacularDegeneration.
Studies based on the prevalence of result have come up with the suggestion that cataract surgery increases the progression of #MacularDegeneration, but is hard to know the difference between causation and association.
Many epidemiological studies have come up with the suggestion that cataract surgery increases the progression of #MacularDegeneration. #Premilife-Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
The effect of cataract surgery on #MacularDegenerationis more controversial and the outcome of the different research is not consistent. #Premilife-Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
#MacularDegeneration-Obesity linked to #MacularDegeneration risk may be via indirect effects on changes in zeaxanthin and lutein status and metabolism. #Premilife-Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
#MacularDegeneration-Usually, the lens focuses all the colors in the same convergence point; there is a situation called chromatic aberration where there is a dispersion of colors. #Premilife-Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
#MacularDegeneration-Lutein and zeaxanthin may prevent eye disease because they absorb damaging blue light, as it has an oxidative photo effect that damages the macula. #Premilife-Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
#MacularDegeneration-The physiologic changes described in obesity may lead to high destruction and a lowered circulatory delivery of zeaxanthin and lutein to the macula. #Premilife-Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
#MacularDegeneration-Lutein and zeaxanthin are two major carotenoids found in the human macula and retina. They are the macula pigments and are five times more concentrated in the macula than in the peripheral retina.
#MacularDegeneration-Obesity causes inflammation. Inflammation is intended to eliminate foreign or damaged material and to signal to other cells that there is a danger so they can initiate a broader immune response.
#MacularDegeneration-In obesity changes in the levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, and cholesterol affect the macula negatively. #Premilife-Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
#MacularDegeneration-Oxidative stress is a disturbance in the balance between the production of reactive oxygen species, which are free radicals, and antioxidant defenses. #Premilife-Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff

#MacularDegeneration-Many studies have shown that high blood pressure is associated with a reduced choroidal flow of blood and disturbed vascular homeostasis in these patients. #Premilife-Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
There is an involvement of hypertension in #MacularDegeneration on the other hand there is no data that successful management of hypertension and antihypertensive medication have a positive effect on its clinical outcome
#MacularDegeneration is surrounded by abnormal #neovascularization, to which #angiotensin II and #GrowthFactors make a big contribution. #Premilife-Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
The involvement of hypertension in the pathogenesis of # MacularDegeneration has been well treated in literature since its first appearance. #Premilife-#DrRicardoKotliroff

Smoking has also been revealed to lower #macular pigment optical density, which projects the levels of the protective #carotenoids, zeaxanthin, and lutein in the macular #retina. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
Smoking may lower the #choroidal flow of blood in the #eye and promote #ischemia, #hypoxia, and #micro-infarctions, all of which may inflate the susceptibility of the #macula to degenerative changes. #Premilife
#MacularDegeneration reflects compiled oxidative damage in the retina. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
Although the mechanism of action and the pathogenesis of smoking on the eye are not clear enough, the risk of having #Macular Degeneration in smokers may involve more than one mechanism#Premilife-Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
There was evidence that ex-smokers had a decreased risk having of #Macular Degeneration, suggesting reversibility of effect. #Premilife-Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
A demonstration of dose-response verified the risk of having #Macular Degeneration doubles as the intensity of smoking increases.
Though it depends on the type of #Macular Degeneration, the risk of current-smokers having the disease is two or three times the risk for never-smokers. #Premilife-Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff

#MacularDegeneration, In our body, #proteins have a central role in the normal function, structure, and regulation of all #biological process.#Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
When we have a mutant gene, the protein coded by this gene is defective, and the set of processes that the protein controls is now pathological,these pathological processes lead to the development of macular degeneration.
Single nucleotide polymorphisms are the most common genetic error in #MacularDegeneration. Errors are changes of a single nucleotide at a particular position in the DNA strand, for example, thymine instead of cytosine.
In #MacularDegeneration, the contribution support for #genetics is incontrovertible and it comes from both classical #epidemiological and twin studies and gene-mapping studies. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
#MacularDegeneration . The #Gen encodes a functional product, #proteins for example. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
#MacularDegeneration The gen is the molecular information unit of genetic inheritance, and they occupy a fixed position in the chromosomes that we call locus. Premilife-Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
DNA contains our genetic code and is found in the cell nucleus and the mitochondria of each cell of our organism where it is organized into structures called chromosomes. Premilife-Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff

A sudden visual loss in patients with exudative #MacularDegeneration occurs at the time of pigment epithelial or sensory retinal detachment or hemorrhage from a subretinal neovascular membrane. Premilife Dr. R.Kotliroff
Wet #MacularDegeneration normally affects one eye at a time; hence symptoms of wet #MacularDegeneration are at times unilateral. #Premilife – Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
Shallow color and #vision are not affected; however, the patient may legally become #blind (< 20/200 vision) in the affected eye, especially if the #MACULARDEGENERATION is not treated.
#MacularDegeneration, #visual distortion is usually the first symptom, such as #scotoma which is a central #blind spot, or #metamorphopsia which means curving of straight lines. #Premilife – Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
Quick #VisionLoss, normally over days to weeks, is frequent in Wet #MACULARDEGENERATION. #Premilife – Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
Wet #MacularDegeneration. The exudative form accounts for about 90% of all cases of legal blindness due to this disorder. #Premilife – Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
Wet #MacularDegeneration. In exudative degeneration, the #visual loss is of more rapid onset and greater severity, and the two #eyes are frequently affected sequentially over a period of a few years. #Premilife
Dry #MacularDegeneration In tasks where the distinction of fine details is essential as in reading, handling, or face recognition, more light is needed. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
In dry #MacularDegeneration Straight lines are distorted and appear bent. Loss of visual acuity and sensitivity to the contrast between objects is lost. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
In dry #MacularDegeneration the loss of central #vision happens over the years and is not painful; many patients hold on to vision enough to drive and read. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
Wet #MACULARDEGENERATION happens when new, abnormal #BloodVessels develop under the #retina in a process called #choroidal #neovascularization, i.e., the formation of a new abnormal #vessel#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
One-third of wet #MacularDegeneration patients present geographic atrophy. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
As #MacularDegeneration progresses, we see atrophic degeneration with severe thinning of the #retina, death of cells in the retinal pigmentum epithelium, severe thickening of the #Bruch’s membrane and #arteriosclerosis
#MacularDegeneration. If we analyze the composition of the drusen, we found an accumulation of lipoproteins and lipids, complement, inflammatory proteins, and amyloids, among others. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
Soft #drusen are associated with the development of exudative age-related #MacularDegeneration.. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
#MacularDegeneration. A more serious form is when soft drusen appear. They look like large white spots, are confluent, paler, and lead to a thinner retina called geographic atrophy. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
#MacularDegeneration. The compilation of more catabolites or waste products from the cones and rods leads to larger, hard drusen #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
#MacularDegeneration. There are different types of drusen. When there are few waste products, the drusen form small white dots that do not affect the vision. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
#MacularDegeneration. The retinal pigment epithelium plays a vital role in keeping the photoreceptors – cones and rods- healthy and functioning correctly. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
The pigment epithelium of the retina and the Bruch’s membrane are barriers that maintain the integrity between the choroid and the retina and allow the flow of chemicals to photoreceptors and disposal of waste products.
Arteriosclerosis is a vascular alteration where the arteries harden, lose elasticity, and increase in thickness. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
As in the rest of the body’s organs, older people will have changes in the #eyes related to aging. Among these changes we find arteriosclerosis in the blood vessels of the choroidal region #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
The precursor of #MacularDegeneration is age-related #maculopathy, of which the hallmark is the development of retinal #drusen that, while not the cause, increase the risk of #MacularDegeneration.
Although both types Dry and Wet #MacularDegeneration are progressive and usually bilateral, they differ in manifestations, prognosis, and management. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
Wet, also known as neovascular or exudative: Wet MACULAR DEGENERATION happens in about 15% of people. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
About 85% of people with #MacularDegeneration only have the dry form; it’s the most common and the least severe, and it will develop more slowly. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
Age-related #MacularDegeneration includes a broad spectrum of clinical and pathological findings that can be classified into two groups, #Dry and #WetMacular Degeneration.
The #visual system detects and interprets information from visible light to build a representation of the #environment. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
The #visual system in synthesis is a part of the central #NervousSystem centered on giving organisms the ability to process visual detail and enables the formation of many non-image photo response features. #Premilife
Vision is the ability to interpret light waves from the sun and are in the visible spectrum for us or between violet light 400 nanometers to red light 800 nanometers-a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum #Premilife
In #MacularDegeneration, anatomical structures that allow #vision are damaged. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
Macular degeneration is a multifactorial disease. It’s caused by the sum of the interaction of many #genes and non-genetic factors. This leads to a process that causes the #neurodegeneration of the #macula. #Premilife
In the United States alone, #MACULARDEGENERATION afflicts almost 10 million individuals-twice the number of #Alzheimer’s disease patients and roughly equal to the total number of all #cancer patients together. #Premilife
Age #MacularDegeneration is the most common cause of irreversible central loss of #vision in elderly patients. #Premilife-Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
Age-related #MacularDegeneration causes the deterioration of the #macula, which is the small central area of the #retina that controls the acuity of visuals and causes #VisionLoss affecting the quality of life. Premilife
#MacularDegeneration. Your ability to read is determined by how healthy the macula is, as well as your ability to recognizing faces, watching television, driving or using a computer. #Premilfe. Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
#MacularHoles and # MacularDegeneration are two different and distinct conditions. No relationship exists between the two diseases, although they have similar symptoms.
#MacularDegeneration is a condition that affects the tissues under the #retina, while a #MacularHole requires damage from within the eye, at the junction between the vitreous and the retina itself.
MacularHoles and Age-related #MacularDegenerations are two different and distinct conditions. #Premilife – Dr Ricardo Kotliroff
# MacularHole, people may notice that reading and performing other routine tasks with the affected eye becomes hard.#Premilife. Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
In the early stage of a # MacularHole, people may notice a slight distortion or blurriness in their straight-ahead vision. Straight lines or objects look wavy or bent.
# MacularHoles show up slowly over time, so you may not see signs until your vision is affected. Premilife Dr.Ricardo Kotliroff
The most common sign of # MacularHole is a slow decline in the central vision of the affected eye The length to which vision is affected depends on the location and size of the macular hole, and the stage of its progress.
#MacularHole signs are: Difficulty in detail tasks like reading, Blurred central #vision, Distorted, wavy vision, Central #blind spot or gray area.
#Proliferative #DiabeticRetinopathy. The new blood vessel may leak blood into the vitreous, clouding the vision. #Premilife-Dr.Ricardo #Kotliroff
#Proliferative DiabeticRetinopathy is a more advanced form of the #disease. At this point, new weak blood vessels grow in the #retina and into the #vitreous, the gel-like fluid that fills the back of the eye.
#Hypertensive #retinopathy. Funduscopic examination reveals arteriolar constriction, #vascular wall changes, #arteriovenous nicking, cotton-wool spots, yellow hard exudates, flame-shaped hemorrhages, and optic disk edema.
#MacularHole secondary to Hypertensive retinopathy that is at retinal vascular risk triggered by hypertension.
#MacularHole secondary to Lightning strike injury #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#MacularHole secondary to High #myopia coupled with posterior #staphyloma, Staphyloma is a protrusion of the #sclera or #cornea, usually lined with uveal tissue, due to #inflammation.
#MacularHole secondary to #BestDisease.#Premilife Dr.Ricardo #Kotliroff
# BestDisease affects only the #eyes, so is not triggered by or linked to a problem or disease in other parts your #body. #Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
# BestDisease might make this central #vision distorted or blurry and, over a period of time, it may trigger a blank patch in your vision’s center. #Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
#BestDisease affects the vision you use when looking directly at something, for instance when you’re looking at photos, reading, or watching TV. #Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
#BestDisease triggers problems with your central #vision but does not lead to absolute loss of #sight and is painless. #Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
#Best’s #Disease can begin to trigger changes at the back of the #eye between the ages of 3 to 15, although it does not affect your #vision until later in #life. #Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
#Best’s #Disease is a #genetic disease. You are born with this and have an #autosomal-dominant inheritance characterized by the subretinal compilation of egg-yellowish material in the #macular area.
#Epiretinal #membrane. These membranes are formed by a semi-translucent fibrous material that covers the #macula in the foveal and perifoveal areas making vision difficult. It is also known as a #MacularPucker.
#Epiretinal #membrane. These form in the back of the #eye in response to changes in the #vitreous humor or, more uncommonly, #diabetes. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#MacularHole secondary to #Retinal #detachment, happens when #subretinal fluid piles up in the potential space between the #neurosensory #retina and the underlying retinal pigment epithelium.
#MacularHole secondarily induced by a pathological process: In the developed world, #cystoid #macular #edema is the leading cause of the loss of central #vision.
Cystoid #macular edema is a painless disorder which affects the central macula or retina. The loss of vision is due to the damage caused to the photoreceptors by the accumulation of fluid and the thickening of the retina.
#MacularHole due to #Vitreomacular traction syndrome. This is a #vision-threatening condition and can trigger signs ranging from lowered and blurry #vision to distorted and blacked-out central vision. #Premilife
Trauma-related #macular #holes are suspected to be linked to the transmission of concussive force in a contrecoup manner, which leads to the immediate rupture of the #macula at its thinnest point.
#MacularHole secondarily induced by a pathological process: The initially published description of a #macular #hole by Herman Knapp in 1869 was of one in a previously traumatized #eye. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
A #MacularHole can immediately form after blunt #trauma.#Premilife Dr.#R.Kotliroff
Although the precise #pathogenesis of an idiopathic #macular #hole is still speculative, evidence postulates that abnormal tractional forces of the #vitreous on the #macula are directly responsible.
No evidence has confirmed associations for #SystemicDisorders as a cause for idiopathic #MacularHoles formation. Initial studies implicated #hypertension, #CardiovascularDisease, and prior hysterectomy as possible dangers
As you age, the vitreous degenerate, as a result, it begins to slowly shrink moving away from the surface of the retina. If the traction force is strong enough it triggers a retinal tear or breaks creating a macular hole.
The #climax incidence of #idiopathic #macular #hole development is in the 7th decade of life, and women are more affected than men. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The majority of #macular #holes are #idiopathic, meaning they occur in #eyes that have no past #ocular #pathology. It’s typically related to the #vitreous #aging process. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
If there is a #macular #hole in one eye, there is a 10-15 percent probability a macular hole will develop in your other #eye over your lifetime. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
A #macular #hole can trigger distorted central #vision and general unclear vision. As this hole increases, a #blind or #dark spot appears in your central vision. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The macula gives the bright, central vision you need for driving, reading, and seeing clearly. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In many ways, the human #eye works like a digital camera: The #cornea is primarily concentrated by light – which is the clear front part of the eye that acts like a camera #lens. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Because of its central importance in the #VisualProcess, the #macular #hole leads to a loss of our #visual capacity. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The activity of each #eye is wonderful. They react and adjust according to the amount of light that enters them at every moment with which we will construct an interpretation of the #visual reality surrounding us.

When you know how to insert #energy in your #body, your body can beat any #disease you have and let you feel stronger and greater. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
“There is one thing that makes everything on the universe to exist, and this one thing can beat any disease in your body – this one thing is called ENERGY.” – Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
You can’t create #energy. The energy exists all the time and everywhere. The question you need to ask is “how do I insert the energy in my #body?” And that is exactly what we are doing here in the #BodyChargers movement!
We need to insert #energy into the system to stop the process of disintegration and to keep the #body functioning at the level of normal #health. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Every closed #physical system loses its #energy from the moment it is #created until it fades and crumbles and becomes part of the still world again. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
WE FOLLOW THE #UNIVERSE LAW. What we are doing, are based on facts! #Premilife
Our success is happening right now, day after day. It’s happening through the kind of process we like to call #Body Charging. #Premilife
This power is the #ENERGY. We give our #body this energy in the form of #homeopathic treatments with our special #formula. #Premilife
We use a different method, a unique method. We understand what is the power of everything, including the power in our #body. We use this power to defeat #diseases no matter which disease it is. #Premilife
#Body chargers remember the formula: Balanced Energy + Human Body = A healthy and strong body and a body free of #diseases. #Premilife
For #body chargers, even THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT. We understand the power of #energy on our #body. We discover the #health formula. We know how to utilize new opportunities. #Premilife
Body chargers are DOING THINGS RIGHT. We give our body what it needs in the form of drinking (water), eating, breathing and exercising properly. We use the right treatment → We use the energetic #treatment. #Premilife
#Body chargers have the POWER. We don’t rely on lack. We don’t let others or things to write our fate, we write our own fate alone. #Premilife
#Body chargers are UNIQUE. We have a unique mindset. We use a unique method to #heal. We try new things.#Premilife
#Body chargers are FIGHTERS. We don’t let the #diseases control our #lives. We will fight until we win. For us, loss is not an option at all. #Premilife
#Body chargers are #healthier people. Energy is life. #Premilife
#Body chargers are SMART. We know that #knowledge is power. We know that to beat our enemies, we need to know them well, so we learn before we act. #Premilife
I am a body charger. I love to live and live the life. Energy is Life. #Premilife
I am a body charger. I take responsibility in my life. Energy is Life. #Premilife

Being chronically #ill-You can’t dwell on questions like. ‘Why is this happening to me?’ or ‘What if it gets worse? Dealing with the cycle of ‘good days’ and ‘bad days’.

If you suffer from #anxiety or #stress, they can progress into #insomnia, full-on #depression, tension #headaches, and chronic #pain conditions.

We choose a #homeopathic approach by its compatibility with other #treatments. #Premilife’s homeopathic remedies are used along with prescribed medications because they will not interact #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Our formulas are based on #Genetics, #MolecularBiology, #Chemistry, #EnergeticMedicine, and #QuantumPhysics along with the knowledge of how #diseases are caused in the first place. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Our #knowledge extends to both #biological and #psychiatric aspects and also looks at how various #environmental factors might affect a person’s #symptoms. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Homeopathic formulas-We acquire this knowledge from the fields of #Genetics, #Molecular #Biology, #Chemistry, #Energetic Medicine, and #Quantum Physics, as well as from the #symptoms of a disease itself. #Premilife
#Homeopathy works by lessening the severity of the #symptoms and by enabling the #body to do its own #healing work. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Homeopathic #therapy is an effective and natural way to combat #diseases. The history of its use dates back over 200 years. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
I started creating #homeopathic #remedies that came from the same basic idea as #acupuncture and use the #energy laws’ of #health and #disease to develop those formulas. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
How do you provide plants with the #energy they need? By the #sun! How do you provide your cell phone with the energy it needs? By a charger! And how do you provide your #body with the energy it needs? #Premilife
Just think about your #body like a plant, if you wish your plant to grow, you need to provide the #energy it needs. Without solar energy, it would just #die! #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff

“Every disease can be understood, resisted and defeated; life has more power than death.” -Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff

#Cigarette #smoking, #lethargy, excessive #drinking, and poor #diet all boost your chances of developing a chronic “noncommunicable” #disease.
#Cardiovascular illness, #cancer, #respiratory illness, and #diabetes are responsible for over 80% of all noncommunicable premature deaths. That’s a LOT. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The most common cause of #death is #cardiovascular illness. That alone kills just short of eighteen million people annually. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
“Noncommunicable” diseases are responsible for over 41 million deaths every year.
Having various levels of #physical contact with an #ill person can be enough to spread an #illness. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Pretty much all #human #diseases are the result of your choices and #genetic makeup interacting with your #environment. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
One of the biggest challenges ahead for science is to understand better how genes factor into more complex inherited illnesses, like cancer, diabetes, asthma, and mental diseases. #DrRicardoKotliroff
Pretty much all #human #diseases are the result of your #genetic makeup interacting with your #environment.
Some #people carry #genetic factors that confer #resistance or #susceptibility o to a certain #disorder in a particular #environment.
The #interaction between the #environmental stimulus and the #genetic factors is what results in the #disease.
“The #environment can influence the way the #genes of your #DNA work or are expressed, that is why the greatest of follies is to sacrifice your #health for profits that destroy the #environment.” – Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
“There are some choices that are worse than the disease, remember that prevention is better than cure.” – Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
“#Genes or #environment aren’t #destiny they interact with your #choices.” – Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
We take into consideration the #gene-environment interactions in patients with chronic communicable and non-communicable #diseases and the impact they have in the normal #human #biology.
Chronically #sick patients will often make a strong and determined effort to understand their #illness better. Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the #truth.
#Physical #illness and #mental response are strongly connected. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
We want to bring ALL OF YOU back from your #disease giving YOU the best possible chance of #recovery or #improvement. You deserve it! Your #life is important. You only get to #live it once!
There are #positive and #negative #CopingStrategies to deal with the demands that the #illness places on you.
Generally speaking, the more important or personally valuable the lost function or #body part is to you, the more serious the #illness is in your #mind.
A #healthy, #active, #confident #person is more likely to see #illness as an urgent #threat than someone with an #unhealthy #lifestyle, and less to lose.
How you manage your personal #relationships is vitally important when you’re chronically #ill. You as much as anybody in the entire #universe, deserve #love and #affection.
A #depressed person is less likely to #survive #cancer than someone who isn’t depressed. These are #facts.
Studies of #BreastCancer survivors shown that those who take a fighting spirit in their battle against the #disease live longer and recover better.
#Depression and #anxiety will change your #behavior as a #person. It will affect how you view yourself. And, as such, it will affect how your #treatment progresses.
Intense #stresses and #anxieties can affect your #heart. That’s why people who are too #stressed suffer from #HeartAttacks.
#People dealing with #emotional trauma can often turn to #alcohol or #drugs to numb the #pain.
#Depression or #anxiety response can impact both #recovery and #rehabilitation.
Several features of #illness can aggravate your #stress levels such as the pain or the limitations that illness can place on your life stopping you from doing your hobbies or socializing#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
All of us have felt the impact of #stress at some point in our #lives. Being told you’re severely #ill is, obviously, #stressful.
The most common #emotional responses to severe #illness are #depression, #grief, #shame, #anger, #guilt, and #anxiety.
Some may view #illness as a #threat. It’s something that’s come to #attack you and steal from you.
Some people process #illness in much the same way they process #grief. They experience a sense of #loss – either #real or #symbolic – and they act in accordance with that #feeling.
#Self-esteem and #self-confidence suffer badly with #illness.
Some view #illness as a #punishment or #redemption. They feel like they ‘deserve’ to be ill. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Control your’s own #mind. We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Some view serious #illness as a personal challenge to overcome and others as a #gain or #relief. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The three core aspects of #illness from a #psychological point of view are what the illness #means to you, how you respond to that illness #emotionally, and what methods you used to cope. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
When you’re told you’re seriously ill, your #life changes. #Fear creeps in. The soul is a picture of your body. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Emotional and #psychological responses can impact the outcomes of #illness. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Every aspect of how you react to your #illness – even how you #think about it – shapes the way your #body deals with it. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
How a #patient responds #mentally to #diagnosis has a clear impact on their #physical prospects of #recovery. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
There is no such thing as a purely #physical #illness. Every physical illness also affects the #mind. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
When the frequency of #EnergyTreatments are appropriate to the frequency of the body’s energy- it is possible to reach the highest level of #physical, #mental and #emotional #health. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Studies that demonstrate the presence of #nanoparticle aggregates of the #homeopathic original #substances.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Energetic #medicine is the next frontier that must be conquered by #scientific thinking in #medicine. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Homeopathy restores #health through their contribution to the #energy of the #patient. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
A #therapeutic system is #homeopathy, which consists of administering #substances in infinitesimal doses, diluted and #energized. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
All #diseases live by stealing #energy from the #body. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The #bodies of all #organisms have great #healing powers that activate and confront every #disease.
Our #bodies are powerful #healers. The #energy of our body cures #diseases.
There are certain rules to follow to maintain your health and when #health is not respected, that leaves a door open for the #disease. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Healing is based on our #energy and this is a quality of all #nature. He who enjoys good #health is rich, though he knows it not. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Every #being has an #energetic state in which his #health is completely normal. In the best conditions, our #bodies can keep the #disease away. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The energy, if we have enough, helps keep #health under control and cures diseases. #Health is your greatest gift, is the condition of wisdom and its sign is cheerfulness.
The #energy and the organism are inseparable. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Energy is not something that can be touched, but it circulates through the #body of each #organism. It connects with an organism and gives it #life. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Creating #energy balance in #life is very important to maintain good #health and eliminate any form of #disease. Energy is #life. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The interruption of the #energy supply to the #brain #synapses leads to #diseases of the #NervousSystem, such as #Alzheimer’s disease and #Parkinson’s disease. Energy is #life. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Blocking the flow of #energy or losing your energy level can also be caused by #emotional damage such as #sadness, #stress, #anguish, #fear, #trauma, #anger, and #negative thoughts. Energy is #life
If is not enough #energy to sustain #life, there will not be living #matter, that is what is known as #death. Energy is Life. #DrRicardoKotliroff #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
When #energy is reduced altered or blocked the result is the process of #aging and the development of #diseases. #Premilife Dr. #Ricardo Lotliroff
The #energy of a person is transformed throughout #life, if you manage to maintain your #balance, this is expressed as #health. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Sources of #energy are obtained entering in contact with the sun, through #consciousness in #life, and positive #thinking. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Energy builds vitality. Vitality shows not only in the ability to persist but in the ability to start over. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
All #foods are a source of #energy, but some contain more energy than others. No #disease that can be treated by #diet should be treated with any other means – #Maimonides
Since #psyche and #matter are part of a single world and are in continuous contact with each other – therefore they are two different aspects of one thing – #Energy. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In the #HumanBeing #WeakNuclear interactions are produced that are inherent to all the #ElementaryParticles – evidenced through the detection of 200,000 disintegrations/minute.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In the #HumanBeing, electromagnetic interactions occur that are the main responsible for the multiple #BiochemicalReactions that characterize primarily #life. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The #HumanBody is an #ElectromagneticField. It is a body of energy, and the vision we have of it is only a representation that our #brain makes of the signals received by our #PerceptualApparatus. #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
#Gravity tells #muscles and #bones how #strong they should be. In a #zero-gravity #environment, muscles quickly #atrophy because the #body perceives that it does not need them. #Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
We have four types of forces or #FundamentalEnergies of interaction in #nature, the #Gravitational, the #Electromagnetic, the Weak Nuclear and the Strong Nuclear that are the basis of #matter and allow #life.#Premilife
All #LivingBeings need #energy to #grow, #move, #think and perform any other activity. You are #creating yourself all the time. Add energy to your #body. #Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
Man is #energy, everything that happens in the #human being is the result of actions and interactions between levels of organization of #matter with different #energy. #Premilife Dr. #RicardoKotliroff
We exist in a constant #wave of #energy and #matter that is used by each of us to help us maintain a balance with the #environment, only so we can lead a long #life, #healthy and free of #diseases.
We are not only objects in the universe, but a system of subtle #energies in a perfect balance with the universe that surrounds us since the universe itself as well as exists as an energetic whole.
“Health is the best gift that life gives you and is the basis on which all your #happiness and well-being depends.” -#DrRicardoKotliroff
Throughout our lives, from #birth to #death, for the normal functioning of all our #VitalProcesses, we need a supply and a constant balance of #energy. Take care of your #body with #PremilifeTreatments.
Every day, we exchange #matter and #energy with our environment to #stayalive. The greatest #wealth is #health. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
We can describe the natural processes that occur in our #bodies as a function of the #energy changes that occur within it. #Premilife treatment support the #body #energy
Successful #treatments target the root problem. We’re looking to treat the cause of the #disease, and the disease’s ability to change your #body and #mind.
