💛 El páncreas: el órgano silencioso que regula tu vida
La mayoría de la gente no sabe qué hace su páncreas…
pero este órgano controla más de lo que te imaginas:
✨ Regula el azúcar en la sangre (insulina/glucagón)
✨ Produce enzimas para digerir lo que comes
✨ Influye en tu metabolismo y tu peso
✨ Ayuda a regular hormonas importantes
✨ Afecta tu energía, tu digestión y hasta tu peso corporal
El problema es que MUCHA gente vive con el páncreas agotado:
✔️ estrés
✔️ mala alimentación
✔️ exceso de azúcar
✔️ inflamación
✔️ sedentarismo
Todo eso lo fatiga.
💡 Si cuidas tu páncreas, tu cuerpo entero se equilibra.

Until recently, the options for treating chronic kidney disease have been limited to dialysis or a kidney transplant. In labs around the world, new drugs are expanding that horizon. Once focused on managing decline, kidney care is now about preserving—and in some cases, improving—function, as scientists examine whether this chronic disease may become curable: https://on.natgeo.com/48otzoc

Instead of destroying cancer cells with drugs or radiation, scientists in South Korea have found a way to push them back into behaving like normal healthy cells. The work focused on colon cancer, where researchers noticed that during tumor development there is a delicate tipping point. At this stage, some cells act normal while others begin to turn cancerous, and both exist in an unstable mix. By studying this process closely, they were able to find a molecular switch that can flip cancer cells back toward their healthy state.

To understand this better, the team tracked how genes switch on and off as cells progress from healthy to malignant. They built a computer model of these changes and used it to identify key regulators that hold the power to control cell identity. When they activated this switch in lab experiments, cancer cells lost many of their aggressive traits and began to function more like normal colon cells. They grew more slowly, looked healthier under the microscope, and showed less of the destructive behavior typical of tumors.

This discovery is still at an early stage and has not yet been tested in people. The approach also seems to work only at the right moment before cancer cells fully lock into their malignant state. Even so, it offers a new way of thinking about treatment, shifting the focus from killing cancer to restoring cell health.

🌿 ¿Qué tiene que ver el nervio vago con la digestión?
Muchísimo.
El nervio vago es el “interruptor” que activa el sistema digestivo.
Cuando el vago está funcionando bien:
✔️ Tu estómago produce ácido y enzimas
✔️ Tus intestinos se mueven correctamente
✔️ Se reduce la inflamación
✔️ Hay buena absorción de nutrientes
Cuando el vago está “apagado” o estresado:
❌ Digestión lenta
❌ Hinchazón
❌ Reflujo
❌ Estreñimiento o diarrea
❌ Sensación de n**o en la panza
Porque el nervio vago le dice al cuerpo:
“No podemos digerir si estamos tensos, ansiosos o inflamados.” Dr. Carlos Ponce 956-542-1531.

Looking for a new way to relax? This online suggestion might shock you—literally.

A new wave of wellness gadgets promises that a tiny jolt of electricity to the vagus nerve can help reduce stress and improve sleep. There’s some science behind the social media sensation—similar methods have been used to treat epilepsy in the past—but researchers are still determining whether these new devices can truly deliver: https://on.natgeo.com/47SNeeE
