• Diet and nutrition

  Όταν κάποιος πρέπει να ακολουθήσει αντιφλεγμονώδη διατροφή για να επουλωθεί στομάχι και λεπτό έντερο από γαστρίτιδα και δωδεκαδακτυλιτιδα, μπορεί να φάει κατσικίσια φέτα; Έχω κόψει τη γλουτένη και τα γαλακτομικα 2 μήνες τώρα, είμαι χορτοφάγος, και έχω πολύ περιορισμένες επιλογές. Και αναρωτιόμουν ποια είδη γαλακτομικων είναι ασφαλή για μια τέτοια διατροφή. Ευχαριστώ.

  • Καλησπέρα σας. Η αλήθεια είναι ότι σε μια αντιφλεγμονώδη διατροφή το τυρί δεν βοηθάει.. άμα όμως αισθάνεστε μεγάλη στέρηση τότε το κατσικίσιο τυρί είναι η λιγότερο επιβαρυντική επιλογή για εσάς.

  hello, I have stretch marks and fat on my inner thighs and in general on my legs apart from my bulbs, while I'm underweight, I eat healthy, low fat and I exercise a lot with weights. why is this happening?

  • Stretch marks and localized fat can occur for various reasons, even if you're underweight and lead a healthy lifestyle. Here's a breakdown of possible factors:
    
    Stretch Marks
    Genetics: Your skin's elasticity and propensity for stretch marks can be largely genetic. If your parents had stretch marks, you might be more likely to develop them as well.
    Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormones, especially during puberty, pregnancy, or periods of rapid growth or muscle gain, can cause stretch marks.
    Rapid Changes in Body Composition: Even if you're underweight, rapid changes in muscle mass from weightlifting can... stretch the skin and lead to stretch marks.
    Skin Type: Some people have skin that is more prone to developing stretch marks due to lower collagen levels or other factors affecting skin elasticity.
    Localized Fat
    Genetics: Genetics play a significant role in where your body stores fat. Some people are predisposed to store more fat in their thighs or legs.
    Hormones: Hormones such as estrogen can influence fat distribution, leading to more fat being stored in the lower body for some people.
    Body Composition: Even with a low overall body fat percentage, it's possible to have stubborn areas of fat due to genetic and hormonal factors.
    Addressing the Concerns
    Stretch Marks:
    
    Topical Treatments: Products containing retinoids, hyaluronic acid, or centella asiatica may help reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
    Medical Treatments: Procedures like laser therapy, microdermabrasion, or microneedling can improve stretch mark appearance.
    Hydration and Nutrition: Keeping your skin well-hydrated and ensuring a diet rich in vitamins and minerals that support skin health (e.g., vitamins A, C, E, and zinc) can be beneficial.
    Localized Fat:
    
    Targeted Exercise: While you can't spot reduce fat, building muscle in the thighs through exercises like squats, lunges, and leg presses can help improve the appearance and tone of the area.
    Cardio: Incorporating cardiovascular exercise can help reduce overall body fat.
    Professional Guidance: A consultation with a fitness or nutrition professional can provide personalized advice based on your body composition and goals. Read more
