For Biological Medicine, these are questions that it aims to answer from a holistic and positive approach, that is, by working on for health and disease prevention.
Dr. Mariano Bueno, medical director of Biosalud Day Hospital, has been practising medicine with this vision for more than 30 years and defines health as "the harmonious state of all the functions of all the organs and tissues of the human body, mind and soul, in relation to the environment". That is why he speaks of Integral Health The aim is to promote Total Health and to promote the active role of people in maintaining their good health.
The constitution with which we are born characterises us on a psychological and physical level and with some pathological tendencies that we can identify and correct to prevent disease.
According to Biological Medicine, three parameters can curb these tendencies and prevent the onset of disease, the pillars of our healthThe main objectives are: pH balance, control of oxidative stress and the proper functioning of detoxification mechanisms.
pH balance
In order to maintain health, it is necessary to keep the balance between acidity and alkalinity. This regulation can be altered by food or pollutants, which cause an excess of free radicals and thus further acidification. The healthy balance tends to be somewhat alkaline, a pH of between 7.35 and 7.45.
Excess acidity irritates tissues and prevents absorption of minerals. It is in the urine that we can measure the level of acidity and see whether or not our body is eliminating the amount of acid needed to maintain balance.
Why is it important to control this pH balance? Some chemical reactions of the bodyIn fact, many enzymes, including many enzymes, function properly at a balanced pH and function erratically if this balance is disturbed.
Control of oxidative stress
The first question to ask is what is oxidative stress? Normal bodily functions such as food metabolism or respiration produce free radicals under normal conditions. However, tobacco consumption, excessive meat consumption or environmental pollution produce an oxidative stress. excess free radicals which, over the years, accelerate cell oxidation and thus lead to apoptosis, or cell death.
A good example is found in the skin, when free radicals attack the connective cells of collagen, the skin loses elasticity, one of the main causes of skin elasticity. symptoms of ageing mobile phone.
Detoxification mechanisms
Proper liver function is essential for purify toxins of the blood. This organ filters the harmful substances we ingest and eliminates them, either through bile, through the digestive system, or through the blood that is filtered in the kidneys and expelled in the urine.
When acidification, cellular oxidation or a high level of toxicity is present, the charge or genetic predisposition The immune system is activated and an ideal "breeding ground" for infections and chronic diseases is produced. In fact, chronic disease requires years in which all three parameters have been altered.
From this perspective, at Biosalud Day Hospital we have developed the Prevent programme for the maintenance of health, a treatment plan that aims at stabilising these health parameters, with innovative techniques and also, through the food.
