Diet and lifestyle - Which professionals do you entrust with your health?

The collective need to re-enter in certain patterns and the equally widespread tendency to emulate the stereotypes of beauty-thinness proposed (and imposed) by the media, have meant that the term diet, from the Greek dìaita (= regime, style, standard of living ) as a correct, healthy and balanced diet indicator, it would definitely become synonymous with weight loss and weight loss.

In reality, as it is possible to deduce from the translation quoted above, the term diet has a fairly complex meaning that embodies the quality, quantity, manner, organization and management of human nutrition. Diet means food style and correlates directly to the lifestyle, therefore to the social level and, why not, to the ethnic, family and individual cultural level. Only by reflecting on the real vastness of the term is it possible to understand how equivocal it can be to associate simple slimming with it.

EVERYONE carries out a diet, but POCHI do it correctly and in a balanced way; in this regard it is opportune to highlight an obviousness that, even if it seems such, often manifests itself as a paradox. Using a simple metaphor, the health of a subject could be compared to a building, whose foundations are represented by the diet and the outer walls of the lifestyle ; although these components may appear to be two distinct structures, their relationship is absolutely essential. It follows that: if the balance between diet and lifestyle were to fail, overall health would pay for the consequences!

To prevent this from happening it is essential that the community is aware of its habits and that it receives adequate professional health care. Awareness is undoubtedly the first major step towards the prevention and maintenance of health, however, in some circumstances the external intervention of trained and qualified professionals is necessary. It follows that the professional service provided by the aforementioned figures, legally located and regulated (at least in theory), is useful / indispensable for improving the health status of the subjects in question.

But ... if it were not so?

Currently, the pathology that most affects the health of the citizens of industrialized countries is overweight ; it correlates to multiple metabolic dysfunctions and aggravates the joint discomforts, raising the costs of public health dramatically. In the specific case, the professionals involved in the correction of diet and lifestyle have the function of fighting the onset and maintenance of overweight, favoring their recovery and reducing health costs, but how?

1. Promoting the improvement of lifestyle through an increase in the level of overall physical activity and education in physical activity (desirable)
2. Correcting and reorganizing the diets of these subjects

In theory, reasoning is not a wrinkle, but in practice all of this happens only in part and the discrepancy between the expected result and the worn result is caused by:

1. Qualification to carry out at least professional figures in both areas mentioned above
2. Heterogeneity in the professional training of technicians / doctors in the national field

At this point, the question arises: what has the bad management / training of professionals to do with the misunderstanding between diet and weight loss or weight loss? Simple!

FIGHTING THE OVERWEIGHT THROUGH THE CORRECTION OF THE DIET AND OF THE LIFE STYLE IS FUNDAMENTAL IN THE PREVENTION OF METABOLIC AND ARTICULAR COMPLICATIONS AND IN THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE STATUS OF COLLECTIVE HEALTH ... BUT IT IS ALSO TRUE THAT THE WRONG EXERCISE OF THESE PROFESSIONS, CHARACTERIZED BY 'APPLICATION OF NON-HEALTHY PRINCIPLES AND DAMAGING TO THE SUBJECT OF THE SUBJECT, MAY BE:

• THE FAILURE OUTCOME OF THE SAME THERAPY AND CONSEQUENT RECOVERY OF THE PATHOLOGICAL STATE INITIATING THE CHRONICIZATION
• SIGNIFICANT EMOTIONAL DISCOMFORT / DEMOTIVATION THAT NEGATIVELY AFFECTS COMPLIANCE TO NEXT THERAPIES
• IN PATIENTS, TREND TO THE COGNITION OF UNFAIRED AND OFTEN CONTROPRODUCTIVE
• POSSIBLE SIDE / SIDE EFFECTS RELATED TO THE PERFORMANCE OF INCORRECT THERAPY.

So :

Diet + lifestyle = good health

Pathology + correct therapy = health improvement

But also...

Pathology + incorrect therapy = worsening of health!
