Ιστορικά δεδομένα – ορολογία

Στις αρχές του 1900, οι ερευνητές-φυσιοδίφες P. Portier και C. Richet, σε μια περιήγησή τους σε κάποια τροπικά νησιά, διαπίστωσαν μια περίεργη ασθένεια των ιθαγενών που προκαλείτο από την επαφή τους με τις θαλάσσιες ανεμώνες και που πολλές φορές προκαλούσε και το θάνατο. Μελετώντας το φαινόμενο με θαλάσσιες ανεμώνες και στη συνέχεια με σκύλους, πρωτοπεριέγραψαν το 1902 –χρησιμοποιώντας ελληνικούς όρους– το φαινόμενο της «αναφυλαξίας», σαν αντίθετο της προ-φύλαξης του οργανισμού. Σήμερα ο όρος αναφυλαξία χρησιμοποιείται για αντιδράσεις που προκαλούν οξύ σοκ, σαν αποτέλεσμα της εισόδου αντιγόνου σε ένα ευαισθητοποιημένο οργανισμό.

Αργότερα, το 1906, ο C. Pirquet –χρησιμοποιώντας και αυτός ελληνικούς όρους– εισήγαγε τον όρο «αλλεργία» σαν πιο περιεκτικό όρο, που περιγράφει τα «άλλα έργα» της αντίδρασης αντιγόνου-αντισώματος στον οργανισμό (της ανοσολογικής απάντησης) και συγκεκριμένα όλες τις αντιδράσεις από απόψεως φυσιολογίας και παθολογίας, που μερικές από αυτές δεν περιλαμβάνονται στον όρο ευαισθητοποίηση.....

Οι χρόνιες ασθένειες που σχετίζονται με τη διατροφή έχουν φτάσει σε κρίσιμο σημείο στις ΗΠΑ

Σχεδόν ο μισός πληθυσμός έχει προδιαβήτη ή διαβήτη . Πάνω από το 40% είναι υπέρβαροι ή παχύσαρκοι . Ένας στους εννέα ανθρώπους άνω των 65 ετών πάσχει από τη νόσο του Αλτσχάιμερ, η ανάπτυξη της οποίας οι ερευνητές διερευνούν τον πιθανό ρόλο της διατροφής . Η κακή διατροφή συνδέεται επίσης με κακή ψυχική υγεία , καρδιαγγειακές παθήσεις και καρκίνο . Ήταν υπεύθυνος για σχεδόν 1 στους 5 θανάτους στις ΗΠΑ και αντιπροσώπευε πάνω από 140 δισεκατομμύρια δολάρια στις δαπάνες για την υγειονομική περίθαλψη των ΗΠΑ το 2016.

Αν και η αμερικανική μέση γίνεται μεγαλύτερη, η έρευνα δείχνει ότι το μικροβίωμα του εντέρου - τα βακτήρια που ζουν στο πεπτικό μας σύστημα - και τα τμήματα παραγωγής ενέργειας των κυττάρων, τα μιτοχόνδρια, παραμένουν πεινασμένα για θρεπτικά συστατικά που λείπουν από την αμερικανική διατροφή.

Είμαι γιατρός επιστήμονας και γαστρεντερολόγος που έχει περάσει πάνω από 20 χρόνια μελετώντας πώς τα τρόφιμα μπορούν να επηρεάσουν το μικροβίωμα του εντέρου και την υγεία ολόκληρου του σώματος. Η υπερεπεξεργασμένη τροφή που αποτελεί ένα αυξανόμενο μέρος της αμερικανικής διατροφής έχει αφαιρέσει ζωτικά θρεπτικά συστατικά από τα τρόφιμα. Η προσθήκη αυτών των θρεπτικών συστατικών μπορεί να είναι σημαντική για την υγεία εν μέρει τροφοδοτώντας το μικροβίωμα και τα μιτοχόνδρια που μετατρέπουν την τροφή σε καύσιμο.

Η υγεία σας είναι αυτό που τρώτε....

Massachusetts Celebrates George Demeter Day

Photos by AHEPA Brother Alex Mavradis

Ahepans representing Boston's Athens Chapter 24 joined Massachusetts State Senator Bruce Tarr, members of AHEPA Past Supreme President George Demeter's family, the National Association of Parliamentarians, and Consulate General of Greece in Boston Symeon Tegos, to commemorate the outstanding contributions of George Demeter during the Massachusetts State Senate session. Senator Tarr described Demeter's "dedication to the protection of the rights of individuals by ensuring an orderly process by which all organizations and deliberative bodies can make decisions" as vital. George Demeter, who served as Supreme President from 1923-24, is known as the first Greek American elected to serve in the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1932. He also authored Demeter’s Manual of Parliamentary Law and Procedure, a manual with parliamentary rules and procedures to prepare anyone seeking to become a certified parliamentarian. According to Boston newspaper accounts, the inclusion of Greek traditions in the annual Boston Marathon such as crowning the winners with a laurel wreath and presenting them a bronze medal from Athens was started, in part, by Demeter.
