Home Enteral Nutrition Therapy: interface between human right to adequate food and food security and nutrition Resumo A terapia nutricional enteral domiciliar (TNED) é uma modalidade de atenção à saúde e nutrição realizada no domicílio, que busca a preservação do vínculo familiar aliada ao cuidado multidisciplinar, principalmente nutricional. A TNED é importante, pois converge para os princípios de segurança alimentar e nutricional (SAN); pelo ato de não comer pela boca, o indivíduo por vezes é acometido pela piora do quadro de SAN em sua família/domicílio. Tendo a alimentação significado social e cultural, as necessidades do paciente e de sua família não podem ser ignoradas nas situações em que exista a demanda pelo uso da TNED. Há de se buscar atendê-los na sua integralidade, considerando os princípios que a SAN contempla: quantidade, qualidade, diversidade, acesso aos alimentos, de modo permanente, pautado no Direito Humano à Alimentação Adequada (DHAA).
O sistema imunitário é o sistema de defesa do corpo humano, e é constituído por uma complexa rede de células e moléculas dispersas por todo o organismo. Este sistema tem importante relação com a nutrição pois há interação entre a ingestão adequada de nutrientes, o aumento no estresse oxidativo e a ocorrência de processos infecciosos, com depleção imunitária. Esse artigo trata-se de revisão de literatura colocando em destaque os principais nutrientes que agem em benefício do sistema imunitário: ferro, vitamina A, vitamina C, vitamina E, vitamina D e zinco, e destaca sua relação com o sistema imunitário.

ABSTRACT Aims:To nutritionally analyze diets published in a women's magazine and compare them with current dietary recommendations for macronutrient and micronutrient intake by adult women. Methods: Twenty-four issues published in 2013 and 2014 by women's magazine with the largest circulation in that period were selected, and the weight-loss diets therein were assessed. The nutritional composition was calculated by the Avanutri ® software and compared with the current recommendations from the Institute of Medicine for macronutrients and micronutrients. The diets were divided into two groups: large caloric restriction (≤ 1,100 kcal) and slight caloric restriction (> 1,100 kcal).Results: Twenty diets were analyzed, with an average caloric value of 1,227.83±261.54 kcal. All diets were deficient in vitamin D (mean of 2.09±1.16, folic acid (mean of 109.26±41.19), iron (mean of 11.35±3.06), calcium (mean of 532.23±133.56), and zinc (mean of 4.23±2.11). When both groups were compared, diets with large caloric restriction had lower concentrations of vitamin C (p=0.011), iron (p=0.051), calcium (p=0.022), and zinc (p=0.033). Most diets contained the recommended amount of macronutrients, but all of them were lacking in fibers. Most diets with inappropriate amounts of macronutrients and micronutrients were in the large caloric restriction group. Conclusions: Most diets had a deficient supply of energy and nutrients, especially vitamins and minerals that are important for women of childbearing age. Diets with large caloric restriction often contained inappropriate nutritional values. This result reinforces the importance that diets be individualized and monitored by a qualified professional.
Anxiety is one of the most common symptoms associated with the modern lifestyle. In contrast, there is an increase in the search for integrative and complementary practices such as herbal medicine to alleviate the symptoms associated with anxiety. Thus, this article aims to list the most used herbal medicines in the treatment of anxiety. This is a literature review of the last 18 years, where it was researched about the functioning and application of herbal medicines and their beneficial effects for health promotion, especially in anxiety. Carminative herbal remedies include valerian (Valeriana officinalis), mint (Mentha) and chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), orange blossom (Citrus X sinensis), lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) and lemongrass (Cymbopogoncitratus). acute pains and sedatives, including passion fruit (Passiflora edulis), and in cases of insomnia include also white hawthorn (Crataeguslaevigata), and hops (Humuluslupulus). In relation to bioactive compounds, the use of fermented foods, essential oils - especially omega 3 flavonoids, have been shown to be potential alternative treatments for anxiety.
Food insecurity and obesity in adults:What is the relationship? ABSTRACTObesity is a multifactorial disease that has, among other relevant issues, inadequate food. Food insecurity is proposed as the mismatch of supply in quality, quantity and diversity. Therefore, the aim of this study was that obesity and food insecurity are closely linked. Method: This study is a literature review. The works exhibited here have shown that women are more prone to develop obesity, as well as food insecurity. Some felt the question income as a variable of interest, and obtained correlation with obesity and food insecurity. Therefore, the conclusion was that there is an association between food insecurity and obesity, so that the increased supply of unhealthy foods and / or access to these foods can enlarge the increase in body weight, and lead to obesity frame.
Resumo: Buscou-se analisar o efeito de alguns fitoterápicos na prevenção e tratamento de doenças cardiovasculares, em especial na hipertensão arterial sistêmica. Foi realizado uma revisão de literatura na biblioteca virtual LILACS, Scielo, Google Acadêmico, e Pubmed, referentes aos anos de 1990 a 2016. Foram encontrados e descritos 5 fitoterápicos. A fitoterapia é muito utilizada, porém muito sem fundos científicos, desta forma mais estudos são necessários para comprovação da eficiência dos mesmos.Palavras-chave: Fitoterapia, Prevenção De Doenças, Hipertensão. The Herbal use in Reducing and Tratament of HypertensionAbstract: To examine the effect of some herbal remedies in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, especially in hypertension. We performed a literature review in the virtual library LILACS, Scielo, Google Scholar and Pubmed for the years 1990 to 2016. Results and Discussion: found and described 5 herbal medicines. The herbal medicine is widely used but many without scientific backgrounds, thus more studies are needed to prove the efficiency. Devido à alta prevalência de hipertensão e doenças cardíacas, a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), tem estimulado o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas que priorizam a utilização de plantas medicinais no tratamento de doenças, e enfatiza a necessidade de novas pesquisas feitas com plantas e produtos naturais (MARMITT et al., 2016).
The term “gut-brain axis” has been widely used in the study of communication between the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system, a vital relationship for the maintenance of homeostasis and whose imbalance can result in changes in the response to stress and in behavior. This review aims to present and discuss the findings of studies about the gut-brain axis and the possible relationship between intestinal dysbiosis and mental disorders. The guiding question was: "How can intestinal health affect the brain and its functioning?" Of fifty articles found, seven were selected to integrate this review, all published in English. The findings of all articles discussed in this review demonstrate a direct and significant impact of the intestinal microbiota on the central nervous system, observing behaviors related to anxiety, depression and stress in the face of changes in the microbiota.
