Tomar un litro y medio de agua por día ayuda a perder peso

Según la Sociedad Argentina de Nutrición, si a lo largo de un año se logra ingerir esa cantidad de líquido se puede llegar a adelgazar hasta 2,5 kilos

El agua es un aliado a la hora de querer bajar de peso. Según médicos de la Sociedad Argentina de Nutrición (SAN), quienes ayer presentaron un documento que apunta a desarrollar estrategias para mejorar la calidad de la ingesta de líquidos en nuestro país, tomar medio litro de agua por día ayuda a todo aquellos que quieran adelgazar.

El trabajo, que fue realizado por especialistas en nutrición, obesidad, hidratación y deporte, establece que el agua ayuda a reducir la ingesta de calorías innecesarias ya que genera una sensación de saciedad. Además, ayuda al aumento de la liberación de una sustancia llamada dopamina que está también ligada a esa misma sensación.

“Tomar agua es perder peso”, afirmó Mónica Katz, directora de la Carrera de Médico Nutricionista de la Universidad Favaloro e integrante de la SAN. “Si una persona tomara 1,5 litro de agua por día (incluidas las infusiones sin azúcar o con edulcorante), en un año quemaría 17.400 calorías, cifra que causaría una pérdida de 2,5 kilos, en el marco de una vida saludable, es decir una dieta equilibrada y actividad física”, sostiene la especialista.

Los especialistas aconsejan tomar 8 vasos diarios de líquido y aseguran que es mejor todavía si contiene gas y está fría ya que aumenta la sensación de saciedad y, si es baja su temperatura, obliga al cuerpo a utilizar energía para calentarla hasta los 37 grados del organismo, “lo que implica un gasto extra de 100 calorías”, señalan.

Un aspecto que destacan y preocupa a los especialistas es la poca ingesta de líquido por parte de los niños, en contraste con el consumo en exceso de azúcar. “Las gaseosas e infusiones con azúcar aportan el 14% de las calorías que ingieren los alumnos de escuelas bonaerenses. Debemos insistir en que los chicos tomen agua común”, sostiene Sergio Britos, director de la carrera de Nutrición de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata. Y exhorta a “las autoridades sanitarias, educativas y científicas así como la industria de alimentos, a tomar como política de Estado el desarrollo de un plan de educación alimentaria, incluyendo una hidratación saludable ”.

Nordic Walking Benefits, ADHD and Diet, Supplements and Cancer, Sources of Fiber

A Better Way To Walk: Nordic Walking Improves Quality of Life, Depression, and Functional Capacity SciTechDaily Reference: “Sustained Effects of Different Exercise Modalities on Physical and Mental Health in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: A Randomized ... Dietary Interventions for ADHD: Emerging Research and Considerations There has been increasing interest in the role that diet and supplements play in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, from patients and researchers alike. Diet is an important treatment approach to consider, as it is a lifestyle change rather than a medication. Additionally, at least 10% to 30% of children with ADHD are non-responsive to, or experience adverse effects from, ADHD medications.1 A dietary approach to ADHD can be complementary to a conventional pharmacological approach, giving patients and their families more options toward a personalized treatment plan. This article will examine current research about di

More People Are Microdosing for Mental Health. But Does It Work?

By Dana G Smith. Joseph started microdosing psychedelics five years ago to try to improve his mental health. “I was just kind of in this depression, in this rut,” he said. “I was unhappy and angry and agitated all the time, and it went against the way that I saw myself.” Depression and anxiety run in Joseph’s family, and he’d been prescribed Prozac as a kid. But when symptoms of depression returned in his early 30s, he didn’t want to go back to a prescription drug. Joseph, an Austin-based designer (he asked to withhold his full name, citing privacy concerns surrounding mental health issues and illegal drug use), came across research from Johns Hopkins University about psilocybin, the active ingredient in hallucinogenic, or “magic,” mushrooms. In a small study, full doses of the drug helped cancer patients cope with depression and anxiety. Then he read anecdotes of Silicon Valley influencers claiming increased energy from taking tiny doses of psychedelics. So he decided to start microdo

Exploring the Link Between Circadian Rhythms, Longevity, and Wearable Data: Insights and Future Directions

A recent study in NHANES 2011–2014 explores the potential connection between disruptions in circadian rhythms, measured using wearable devices, and their impact on health outcomes and longevity. The study analyzes data from 7,297 U.S. adults collected through wearable accelerometers as a novel digital biomarker for longevity. Five distinct clusters were identified based on activity profiles: "High activity," "Low activity," "Mild circadian rhythm (CR) disruption," "Severe CR disruption," and "Very low activity." The findings reveal that young adults with extreme circadian rhythm disturbance exhibit higher white blood cell counts and accelerated biological aging. Older adults with circadian disruption are associated with increased systemic inflammation indexes, advanced biological aging, and higher all-cause mortality risk. The research underscores the importance of circadian alignment for longevity at all ages and suggests that wearable
