“…The World Health Organization has declared 2.8 million people are dying each year as a result of obesity or overweight (WHO 2017). The prevalence of adult obesity is 11% globally and 35% in the USA makes this disorder a global epidemic (Alexander et al 2016).

Imbalance in metabolism can lead to many health complications, and obesity is one of the alarming ones in the new world. Modern lifestyle has reduced physical activity and increased intake of various processed, unhealthy, fattening, and fast food. Many approaches have been followed to reduce lipid absorption through the gastrointestinal tract, including herbal plants and drugs. However, due to the side effects associated with drugs, more researches have been navigating towards the discovery of natural substances to substitute synthetic ones. Natural substances have been isolated and identified to inhibit pancreatic lipase, a key enzyme of lipid metabolism; however, only a few have been tested in clinical studies. The aim of this review is to provide relevant information on natural substances derived from plants and algae that have the potential to be anti-obesity agents, with attention to some medicinal plants from Jordan. As a consequence of the information presented in this mini review, several natural compounds have demonstrated to reduce lipid metabolism and absorption, which makes them potential anti-obesity agents.

Background: Bariatric surgery has been an alternative when conservative methods of weight loss fail. Patients undergoing bariatric surgery have an increased risk of up to 6.5% of problems related to alcohol. Objetive: To review the literature about the changes on alcohol consumption in this public. Method: Database was accessed from June of 2015 to January of 2016 by searching “bariatric surgery” AND “alcoholism”, and their Portuguese equivalents. Science Direct, PubMed, Lilacs and Medline, besides manual search, were searched. To be included, the paper should have been published between 2005-2016 and related to bariatric surgery and alcoholism. Theses, dissertations, unpublished papers, case reports and theoretical studies were excluded. In 2005 there was only one review of change in alcohol metabolism in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. There were no publications in 2006. In 2007, only one study was published, and it did not meet the inclusion criteria. In 2010, there was an increase of 13% in publications and of 20% in 2012, reaching 40% in 2013. Conclusion: The prevalence and incidence of alcohol consumption in relation to the postoperative time was six months to three years with higher incidence in men. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass showed greater association with increased alcohol consumption during the postoperative period. This and other studies showed that the pattern of alcohol consumption is important to be faced as a problem in bariatric surgery follow-up.

“…De acordo com os últimos dados da Organização Mundial de Saúde (WHO), de 2014, 39% de homens e 40% de mulheres acima de 18 anos estavam acima do peso. O número de indivíduos adultos com sobrepeso vem crescendo mundialmente e já representava perto de dois bem como no desenvolvimento de resistência à insulina, diabetes mellitus tipo 2, doenças hepáticas e certos tipos de câncer(ALEXANDER et al, 2016;BOUTENS; STIENSTRA, 2016;CHABOT;STEFFENSEN;FARRELL, 2016). Além disso, alguns estudos relacionam a obesidade com efeitos cognitivos adversos (FRANCIS;STEVENSO, 2013;SHEFER, MARCUS, STERN; BOITARD et al, 2014) e o risco de demências, tais como a doença de Alzheimer (MILLER; SPENCER, 2014).3.5.2.…”
