L'intérêt de ce régime est évident : vous encourager à manger en grandes quantités de délicieux aliments riches en matières grasses, tels que du beurre, huile, du bacon, du steak et même des hamburgers sans pain. La clé de ce régime réside dans un apport très faible en glucides et une consommation élevée de graisses, de sorte que l'organisme est contraint de brûler les graisses stockées au lieu des glucides pour produire de l’énergie.

Le régime cétogène, ou keto diet, est-il néanmoins bon pour la santé ? Selon un rapport de l'American Heart Association (AHA), ce ne serait pas vraiment le cas. Il ferait en effet partie des régimes les plus malsains. Le rapport a classé les régimes les plus populaires en quatre catégories et le keto diet a été placé dans la quatrième, soit la moins bonne.

Pourquoi ? Car il restreint les groupes d'aliments considérés comme essentiels à une alimentation saine pour le cœur et qu'il favorise plutôt les sources riches en graisses saturées, fortement déconseillées sans parler qu'il encourage la dysmorphie( image fausse distortionnée d'un corps en santé)

LES BASES DU RÉGIME CÉTOGÈNE
Brûler des graisses est considéré comme un moyen idéal de perdre du poids. Selon Kristina Petersen, professeur de nutrition à la Texas Tech University, le régime cétogène consiste à consommer moins de 10 % des calories sous forme de glucides et plus de 70 % sous forme de graisses. Cela se traduit généralement par une grande quantité d'aliments d'origine animale et peu d'origine végétale.

D’après Maya Vadiveloo, professeur de nutrition et de sciences des aliments à l'université de Rhode Island, la perte de poids est la principale raison de l'adoption d’un régime cétogène. Ce dernier peut sembler intéressant pour les personnes qui cherchent à perdre du poids rapidement. Il est radical et plus aisé de supprimer complètement des groupes d'aliments entiers plutôt que de devoir penser aux différentes nuances que comportent les glucides complexes, ainsi qu’au contrôle approprié des portions. Cependant, ces restrictions qui peuvent permettre de perdre du poids à court terme sont difficilement tenables sur le long terme.

COMMENT CE RÉGIME FAVORISE-T-IL UNE PERTE DE POIDS ?
L'organisme stocke une certaine quantité de protéines, de graisses et de glucides qu'il utilise pour produire de l’énergie pendant les périodes de jeûne. Cet équilibre est rétabli chaque fois que vous mangez. Néanmoins, une fois que les glucides stockés, essentiels au fonctionnement du cerveau, sont épuisés, l'organisme peut créer des molécules appelées cétones à partir des graisses et les utiliser comme source d'énergie privilégiée.

Les cétones sont des substances chimiques produites par l'organisme lorsqu'il commence à désagréger les graisses pour obtenir de l'énergie. En présence de cétones, l'organisme passe à un état métabolique appelé cétose. Au début du régime, il arrive que l'on ressente une léthargie, une sécheresse de la bouche ou un malaise général, symptômes de la cétose surnommés « grippe cétogène ». Néanmoins, en règle générale, une fois que l'organisme s'est adapté, ces symptômes disparaissent.

Pour que l'organisme reste en état de cétose, l'apport en glucides doit être réduit à 10 %, ce qui signifie qu'il faut limiter l’ingestion d’un grand nombre de groupes d'aliments. Les céréales, les fruits, les légumes non amylacés, de nombreux produits laitiers et même certains fruits à coque contiennent des glucides, leur consommation doit donc être limitée. Pour atteindre ces objectifs nutritionnels, il est courant d’ingérer de grandes quantités de produits laitiers riches en matières grasses et des morceaux de viande plus gras.

Danger ou Effet Secondaire Sérieux

Bien qu’elle soit très à la mode depuis quelques années, la diète cétogène a ses inconvénients pour l’organisme. Selon certains chercheurs, elle est bénéfique pour le métabolisme, à condition d’être adoptée à court terme. Dans le cas contraire, le régime kéto devient dangereux pour l’organisme lorsqu’il est suivi plus d’une semaine. Pour le prouver, les spécialistes de l’université de Yale aux États-Unis ont soumis des souris à ce régime au-delà d’une semaine. Les petits rongeurs ont consommé plus de graisses sans les brûler. Ainsi, ils ont perdu leurs cellules T gamma delta et sont devenus sujets au diabète et à l’obésité.

Finalement, il s’avère que la réponse physiologique à ce type de régime est différente pour chacun. Certains sont ainsi plus sensibles au ratio sucre-graisse, alors que d’autres profitent d’un bon niveau de résistance qui leur permet de passer en cétose facilement. Alors, pour répondre à la question initiale de l’article, les spécialistes affirment que le régime cétogène n’est pas dangereux pour l’organisme, à condition d’être suivi à court terme.Évidemment, il est tout à fait possible de réduire vos apports en calories en adoptant un régime minceur et faible en glucides.

Toutefois, il n’y a aucun besoin de les diaboliser. Car comme vous le savez, supprimer de votre alimentation un certain groupe d’aliments importants a tendance à créer des effets indésirables comme de la frustration, des fringales et du grignotage. Vous priver de glucides, c’est donc une fausse bonne idée.

Intense debate surrounds the use of low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diets for the promotion of weight loss and avoidance of cardiovascular disease. The rationale behind these diets is that they promote fat oxidation and minimize the addition of glucose to proteins in the formation of adducts that trigge...

Insomnia nad Chinses medicine aka TUINA

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or both, leading to impaired daytime functioning. It can manifest as restless sleep, frequent waking during the night, and trouble returning to sleep once awake. Insomnia affects a person's overall health and quality of life, contributing to fatigue, mood disturbances, and decreased productivity. It's a condition that can be transient or chronic, with various underlying causes ranging from lifestyle factors to psychological stress.

How does TCM view Insomnia?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), insomnia is viewed as a symptom of an underlying imbalance within the body's energy system. Contrasting with the Western medical approach that often focuses on psychological and environmental factors, TCM sees insomnia as a manifestation of disharmony in Qi (vital energy), Blood, Yin, Yang, and organ systems. TCM practitioners aim to identify and correct these imbalances through holistic treatments, addressing the root causes of insomnia.

What is Tuina?

Tuina is a comprehensive system of bodywork or massage that involves the massage of the body’s soft tissues to balance the flow of energy, or “qi,” within the body. The term “Tui Na” literally translates to “push” and “lift and squeeze,” which accurately describes some of the many techniques employed during a Tuina session. This therapy combines various massage techniques, acupressure, and stretching movements to promote physical and energetic balance in the body.

Stress Reduction:

Tuina’s gentle and rhythmic techniques can help promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, and improve overall mental well-being. It can be a valuable tool in managing stress-related conditions like insomnia and depression.

Improved Circulation:

The manipulation of soft tissues and acupressure points in Tuina promotes better blood circulation and lymphatic flow. This can enhance the body’s ability to deliver nutrients and oxygen to cells while removing waste products.

How is Tuina Different From Regular Massage?

Because Tuina is based in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the approach is actually quite different from that of a massage therapist. While Tuina takes into account the importance of muscles, fascia, joints and bones, it is also centered around tending to the different meridians, organ systems, Qi and Blood that are foundational to TCM. Tuina practitioners intend to assess the qi of their client using their hands and diagnostic tools, and affect the flow and distribution of that qi during the session.

Conclusion

Whether you’re interested in acupuncture but still feeling hesitant about needles, seeking relief from chronic pain, or simply in need of a way to relax and unwind, Tuina (massage without needles) may be the TCM therapy for you.

The liver could play a big part in this picture

That is to say, the actual organ is part of the concept of the liver in TCM and is also the material foundation of the common parts

The liver in TCM, however, is not limited to the anatomical concept. It is a comprehensive system that consists of various factors including anatomy, logical reasoning, and philosophy, and involving multiple systems and organs; i.e., TCM uses a much broader definition of the liver compared to the Western medicine

Functions of the Liver
According to the Western medicine, with its numerous functions, the liver plays an important role in digestion, metabolism, detoxification, coagulation, and immune modulation.

In TCM, the function of the liver is different
The liver is in charge of dispersion and dredging: it is mainly responsible for the regulation of emotion, the promotion of digestion and absorption, the maintenance of the circulation of qi, blood, and body fluid, as well as the reproductive function.

The liver externally opens into the eyes, controls tendons, and manifests in the nails: by storing blood, the liver supports the normal functions of the eyes and nails.

The liver meridian is connected to the eyes, and the visual ability mainly relies on the nourishment of liver blood. Therefore, the eyes can reflect the function of the liver: insufficient liver blood may cause dry eyes and blurred vision; hyperactivity of the liver fire will lead to pain and swelling of the eyes.

TCM associates the liver with ill health, including allergies, through its relationship with stress. Because spring is the season of the liver, its influence on allergies is even more dominant. The liver is said to oversee the smooth flow of Qi in the body. If you’re busy and stressed, the liver Qi loses its healthy rhythm and your energy doesn’t flow well.

What can i do

Your diet should consist of whole foods.
Limit processed or junk foods.
Avoid cold foods that weaken spleen Qi.
These include frozen foods and cold drinks.
Dairy products cause dampness, which TCM believes can lead to mucus in the lungs and respiratory track. When excessive mucus accumulates in the system, allergens can become more severe.

Mildly sweet foods, such as grains, squashes and most fruit, are considered strengthening to the spleen Qi. Concentrated and refined sugars are thought to cause weakness and can lead to internal dampness.

Certain fruits, such as citrus, bananas and melons, are said to cause dampness and should be avoided during allergy season. On the other hand, cooking with aromatic warming spices, such as ginger, cinnamon, cumin and small amounts of cayenne pepper, warm the body, promote circulation and the discharge of mucus and phlegm. Specific healing foods, such as pears, are believed to strengthen the lungs, especially during autumn.

Lifestyle practices, such as exercise, stress reduction and restorative sleep, are healing pillars that support TCM-treatment outcomes. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5705481/

With the Nice Weather, How to prepare for Summer according to the TCM
Summer is a great time to continue or start Chinese medicine cares that are uplifting or tonifying for yang, qi, and blood. It is also a time when heat and fire patterns can be suffered in a more pointed or aggressive presentation.
When the Heart is in balance, it is a kind leader but out of balance, people may experience:

Insomnia
Palpitations
Red complexion
Excessive sweating
Irritability, anxiety, restlessness
Depression (too little joy) or mania (excess joy)
Speech problems: Excessive talking, inappropriate laughter, rapid speech, aphasia, stuttering

what should be the Summer Nutrition according to TCM

As an age old health model, Chinese medicine is generally not supportive of fad diets and health trends. Luckily for the foodies, it’s a medicine (and culture) that loves food and regular eating habits.

According to the book of Chinese Nutrition Therapy, the heat of summer “feeds on body fluids and harms yin. It is recommended to take in predominantly cooling, yin foods to disperse heat and build up body fluids. The bitter flavor corresponds to the fire phase, and mostly bitter–cool as well as bitter–cold foods in moderation should be consumed during the hot season.” In general, choose lighter foods to avoid indigestion (per the Heart’s relationship to the Small Intestine). Diet suggestions for summer include:

Fruit: Apple, lemon, kiwi, watermelon, orange, pear, pineapple, tangerine
Cooling foods: Cucumber, Belgian endive hearts, spinach, tomato, salads, yogurt, wheat, barley, fish, rabbit, mint, dill, cilantro

Drinks: Lots of water, watermelon juice, green tea (“it disperses summer heat and can expel toxins, cool the heart fire, calm the mind, remove heat from liver and gallbladder, and relieve stomach and lung.”)

Combos: Mint and Chrysanthemum both aid in cooling the body and skin and also mildly supports liver function. If you are feeling adventurous, you could combine these as a tea and add a pinch of honeysuckle to create a wonderful floral tea to keep you cool.

Avoid: Hot and dry foods such as coffee, excessively spicy foods, ice cold foods like ice cream since they cause the digestive system to slow down
As late summer, this would be an appropriate time to make fitting diet changes and support patients that choose to do cleanses.

Does it exists Groin Massage?
Groin massage is a therapeutic technique that involves applying pressure and manipulating the muscles and tissues surrounding the groin area.

This message is commonly utilized to alleviate pain and tension in the groin, hips, and inner thigh muscles. It can also help enhance flexibility, increase blood flow, and decrease the likelihood of injury.

Benefits of Groin Massage
Groin massage offers a variety of benefits for individuals experiencing pain, discomfort, or tension in the groin and hip area.

Some of the critical benefits of groin massage include the following:

Alleviating muscle tension
Through its capacity to release stress and stiffness in the groin and hip muscles, groin massage can foster relaxation and diminish muscle soreness.

Enhancing flexibility and range of motion
By mitigating tension and augmenting blood flow to the area, groin massage can expand flexibility and range of motion in the hip and groin muscles.

Mitigating pain
Groin massage is recognized for its potential to reduce pain related to sciatica, hip bursitis, and lower back pain.

Supporting muscle recovery
Individuals engaging in athletic or fitness activities can benefit from groin massage as it can bolster muscle recovery following strenuous workouts or injuries.

Amplifying circulation
Groin massage can heighten blood flow to the area, boosting the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles.

Reducing stress and anxiety
As with all massage types, groin massage can engender relaxation and curb stress and anxiety.

Techniques used in Groin Massage
Groin massage techniques involve applying pressure and manipulating the muscles and tissues in the groin and hip region to facilitate relaxation and alleviate pain.
Therapists may use manual techniques involving their hands, fingers, and occasionally elbows to apply targeted pressure on trigger points and areas of muscular tension.
Moreover, stretching techniques are also integral to groin massage, which can help enhance flexibility and range of motion.
Depending on the client’s requirements and preferences, the therapist may employ different stretching methods, such as gentle or active stretching.
The techniques utilized in groin massage may vary depending on the therapist’s training, experience, and the client’s specific needs. For example, some therapists may incorporate myofascial release techniques to loosen the tight fascia, while others may utilize trigger point therapy to target particular areas of pain.
Communication between the therapist and client during the massage is critical to ensure the client’s comfort and safety.
Who can Benefit from Groin Massage?
Groin massage can benefit many individuals who experience tension, pain, or discomfort in the groin and hip area.

Athletes, in particular, often find groin massage beneficial in promoting muscle recovery, improving flexibility and range of motion, and reducing the risk of injury.

Individuals who spend extended periods sitting, such as office workers or drivers, may also benefit from groin massage as they are prone to developing tight hip flexors and adductors.

Final Word
Groin massage is a valuable therapy that can alleviate tension, reduce pain, and enhance physical performance.

Promoting relaxation, improving circulation, and increasing flexibility can provide individuals with various physical and psychological benefits.

When seeking a professional for groin massage, it is vital to prioritize experience, and communication skill's manual therapist.

This case study analysis indicates that MFRT combined with PRT represents an effective therapeutic approach for the management of CP/CPPS, providing pain and urinary symptom relief superior to that of traditional therapy.

Benefits of Foot Massage and Reflexology
1. Promotes Better Sleep
The benefits of foot massage just before going to bed can help you sleep better. A soothing and relaxing foot massage will help the body unwind, improve blood circulation and relax the nerves. These in turn will encourage restful sleep.

There are certain acupuncture points on your feet that need to be massaged to promote sleep.

Sit upright with your foot in your lap.
Using your thumb, press in and around the large plantar pad of your big toe.
Do this for at least 1 minute on each of the big toes.
Next, massage the bottom of your feet for 10 minutes with warm coconut oil, olive oil or mustard oil.
2. Improves Blood Circulation
Due to sedentary lifestyles, most of us do not use the muscles of our feet properly. Also, improper footwear like tight shoes hamper normal circulation in the feet.

You can improve your blood circulation with 10 minutes of daily foot massage. This in turn will help transport oxygen to the body’s cells, which is essential for overall health. Needless to say, you also need to opt for proper and comfortable footwear.

Foot massage will also stimulate the lymphatic system and help prevent varicose veins.

Put any massage oil in your palm and rub it firmly on your foot for several minutes.
Then, stroke the foot gently but firmly from toes to ankle.
Finally, give a gentle massage to your lower leg also.
Repeat the same with the other foot.
3. Helps You Relax
After a long tiring day, the best way to relax is a soothing and relaxing foot massage, particularly after a long day of standing and walking around, when our feet tend to swell up.

Also, foot massage gives you energy by releasing any blockages that hold back energy and relieving symptoms of stress and fatigue.

Regular foot massage of 5 to 10 minutes before going to bed can improve feelings of general well-being. Always use warm oil for foot massage so that it easily penetrates deep in the skin. Also, use gentle yet firm strokes.

4. Fights Depression
Foot massage and reflexology can even help fight depression.

According to a 2010 study published in the Journal of Clinical Nursing, receiving soothing hand or foot massages after the death of a loved one can help a lot to deal with the stressful grieving period.

Foot massage provides consolation, helping people to balance the need to grieve and adapt to changes in life.

Certain points on the feet are helpful in alleviating depression symptoms.

For instance, the spot in the center of the big toe, the spot at the center of the ball of your foot or the ball of the foot located under the big toe are associated with emotional stability and mental health.

Massaging these points or applying pressure to them for a few minutes 2 or 3 times a day can help relieve symptoms of depression.

5. Relieves Aches and Pains
Reflexology can help treat different types of pains and aches, such as headaches, migraines, neck pain, lower and upper backaches.

For backaches, gently massage along the spinal reflex with your thumb, starting from the side of the toe to the ankle using small circular motions. Also, massage the soles and tops of your feet.

If you have neck pain, massage the toes as well as the joints that join the toes to the foot for 5 minutes firmly and soon the pain will vanish.

You can massage the whole ankle to reduce pain and swelling in the ankle and get relief from headaches and migraines.

To relieve thigh pain or lower back pain, apply pressure with your thumb between the outer ankle bone and the Achilles tendon for a few minutes.

6. Makes Feet Healthier
One easy way to keep your feet healthy and free from all kinds of foot problems is a regular foot massage. It helps stimulate the muscles around your feet, lessens stiffness and even reduces pain in the ankles or the heels.

Plus, a short 5-minute foot massage daily will make your ankles strong and flexible, thus preventing unpleasant ankle and foot injuries.

It has been found that massaging your feet with warm olive oil or coconut oil can give much relief from the pain and inflammation caused by foot tendonitis. Also, it is considered an excellent treatment for heel spurs.

It can even be beneficial to relieve the discomfort associated with burning feet sensation.

Apart from oil, you can also use a foot roller for foot massage. Roll the foot roller back and forth on the soles as well as over the top of your feet for a quick massage.

7. Alleviates Edema
Regular foot massage during pregnancy can help reduce the effects of edema, which is swelling in the feet and ankles due to fluid retention. This is very common during pregnancy, especially in the last trimester.

During pregnancy, do not do your own foot massage. It is recommended to get it done by a friend, partner or professional. In fact, it best to get it done by a qualified reflexologist.

Gently massage your foot, starting from the tips of your fingers all the way to your ankles. Massage the front as well as back of your feet.

noptimize /noptimize

A retrograde massage with some warm massage oil is considered highly beneficial. It is done by rubbing from the toes proximally, or toward the knee.

This encourages the fluid accumulated in the feet to return toward the kidneys, where it can be flushed out of the body.

Along with daily foot massage, try to keep your feet elevated whenever possible, take plenty of rest, wear comfortable shoes, drink plenty of water and eat well.

8. Eases PMS and Menopause Symptoms
Many women suffer from symptoms like feelings of sadness, irritability, insomnia, bloating, fatigue, headaches and mood swings during premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

These can be treated with daily foot massage. Even symptoms of menopause like hot flashes and depression can be effectively handled with regular foot massages.

To treat PMS and menopause symptoms, massage the Grandfather Grandson point. It is located on the inner foot, where the big toe meets the foot.

Massage this acupressure point with any warm massage oil and apply steady, firm pressure. Do it for a couple of minutes and then massage the entire feet as well as the legs.

Regular foot massage will surely show a decrease in hot flashes and improvement in sleep disturbances and mood changes.

9. Restless Leg Syndrome
Foot massage is also helpful in treating restless leg syndrome, a kind of neurological disorder. Restless leg syndrome can cause difficulty sleeping due to the unpleasant sensations like throbbing, pulling and the urge to move your legs.

Massage your feet with warm coconut oil to improve blood circulation, relax the nerves and help you sleep at night.

Start by massaging the heels and ankles of your foot with the fleshy portion of both your hands.
Then, massage in circular motions with gentle yet firm strokes, moving upward from the ankles.
Do this daily for 10 minutes before going to bed.
10. Lowers Blood Pressure
High blood pressure, also called HBP or hypertension, can be controlled with regular foot massage. Studies have also found that foot refloxology may help reduce systolic blood pressure and triglyceride.

To treat HBP, it is important to massage the solar plexus reflex. This reflex point can be easily located by squeezing each side of your foot. The hollow that forms is where the solar plexus point is.

Press this reflex point for a few seconds with your thumb and take a deep breath.
Release the thumb and breathe out.
Repeat on the other foot.
Do it twice a week for several weeks.
Also, massage your entire foot for 10 minutes 2 or 3 times a week to notice improved mood, less anxiety and lower blood pressure. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7512096/
