A new cause of obesity linked to an abnormality on chromosome 16 has been highlighted. It explains about 1% of cases. These works are a collaboration between the Lille team (1) Professor Philippe Froguel, a researcher at the CNRS, associated closely with colleagues at Imperial College London and University Hospital Center of Vaud in Lausanne and ten other groups European research. They will be published Thursday, February 4 in the journal Nature. They open new perspectives for targeted preventive treatment.

The international team focused on the role played by the absence of a small fragment of chromosome 16 in the onset of a severe form of obesity. This anomaly more accurately called “microdeletion” (loss of a fraction of chromosome) causes the deletion of thirty different genes in this region. Researchers have discovered that this microdeletion, absent in most individuals, is quite common among the obese. They believe that the risk of developing severe obesity is greater than 5.000% for individuals carrying a deletion of chromosome 16. “If the identity of the genes responsible for obesity remains to be determined, it is likely that these genes play a role in brain development,” they note, because this chromosomal region is known to be linked to development of schizophrenia and autism, two diseases often complicated by obesity. These results also confirm the link between obesity and neuropsychiatric diseases.

But “obesity is multifactorial origin,” say the authors of that work. “It involves several genes, becoming better known, and environmental factors. Even if the increase in the number of overweight people has societal causes are easily identified (sedentary, food …), heredity plays a crucial role in determining the weight and the onset of obesity. Recent studies have revealed the involvement of thirty genes that increase the risk of obesity so low or moderate (increase of only 10 to 50% per gene).

Recognize and understand their mistakes food.

o Situation 1: no breakfast.
o Scenario 2: dinner too rich in calories.
o Situation 3: skipping meals voluntarily or involuntarily.

Situation 1: no breakfast.

The main reasons given are:

* 1. no time.
* 2. Not hungry.

1. Lack of time is not a valid reason. You can always find. Everything depends on the importance you attach to this breakfast. If you admit that it is important to you, you’ll find the time that you need.

But suppose, since we are here to speak specifically, you are totally overwhelmed (e) in the morning. What time ‘t grant you? 10 minutes? 5 minutes? 5 minutes without running. In these conditions it ‘s not here to make breakfast in bed, but’ s power and if possible to find pleasure. Read the rest of this entry »

Some 55% of women and 30% of men complain of heaviness in the legs late in the day. If we add hemorrhoids and pelvic pain in women, one realizes that the venous insufficiency a big part of us.

Heavy legs, night cramps, marbling, spontaneous bruises may be early signs then appear edema and varicosities. Varicose veins, they relate almost 60% of the population. Our sedentary lifestyle, and changes in our diet (poverty in fiber, vitamin E) only serve these disorders.

Subsequently, trophic disorders associated with edema develop: changes in pigmentation, dermatitis, eczema and more serious varicose ulcers related to defective healing in poor oxygenation of tissues and accumulation of toxins.
Contributory factors.

Physical inactivity.

• Overweight.
• Constipation.
• Pregnancies.
• Hormonal treatments.
• Disorders of the dorsal and lumbar static.
• Standing or prolonged sitting, trampling
