ANN LOUISE GITTLEMAN

Copper overload is an insidious but increasingly common nutritional problem. The author says that difficulty getting out of bed, midday slumps, mood swings, insomnia, and anxiety may be symptoms of a copper/zinc imbalance. She discovered this link after she encountered several patients in her nutritional practice--most of them women--who were not suffering from hypothyroidism, adrenal problems, or anemia (as she had suspected), but rather a mineral imbalance that was diagnosed after simple hair testing. Vegetarian diets, low-fat diets, and taking multivitamins--all ostensibly healthy moves--can make you more susceptible to copper overload. So do less-healthy activities, including drinking alcohol and coffee, taking cortisone, and being constantly stressed. (These activities sap the body of zinc, says Gittleman, jeopardizing the delicate zinc/copper homeostasis in the body.) Home tap water may also be overloaded with copper, and women are susceptible to absorbing copper from intrauterine devices. To remedy the overload, Gittleman outlines an easy plan for renewing health and increasing energy. She includes a questionnaire to help determine if copper overload may be a problem for you gives resources for hair analysis in case your doctor doesn't have one instructs on how to read a tissue-analysis report and outlines a sensible diet plan, including menus to keep the zinc/copper balance in check.

Este libro le va a descubrir la conexión existente entre un elevado nivel de cobre en nuestro organismo y la fatiga crónica. Es un descubrimiento todavía tan nuevo que sólo los más sofisticados tests clinicos incluyen el recuento de la tasa de cobre en nuestro organismo. Por lo tanto, es posible que Ud. haya pasado por las pruebas clinicas mas habituales para detectar las causas de su fatiga cronica y los resultados hayan sido negativos. El estres, el consumo excesivo de cafe, alcohol o azucar, algunos farmacos como las pildoras anticonceptivas o la cortisona, hacen que los niveles de cobre en nuestro cuerpo se disparen. Y con ello aparece un tipo de fatiga cronica que hasta ahora no respondia a tratamiento alguno. El cobre esta muy relacionado con los estrogenos, por ello las mujeres son mas propensas a tener este tipo de problema de salud. Y especialmente en la fase premenstrual del ciclo, que es cuando los niveles de cobre y estrogenos estan mas elevados. Una buena alimentacion, una dieta sana es y ha sido siempre la clave para mantener la salud y prevenir las enfermedades. Asi para evitar el exceso de cobre, su alimentacion deberia ofrecerle buenas reservas de estos tres nutrientes en especial: zinc, vitamina C y vitamina B6. Aprenda gracias a este libro a encontrar la energia perdida mediante una alimentacion adecuada que reequilibrara su organismo.
