Deficiency of Vitamin D an Effective Factor in Outbreak of MS
Deficiency of Vitamin “D”, an Effective Factor in Outbreak of MS (Multiple Sclerosis)
A veteran Neurologist Dr. Mo’tamed in an interview said: “Main cause behind outbreak of MS (Multiple Sclerosis) is not yet known accurately but environmental factors contribute to the outbreak of the disease, including affliction to some viruses or obesity and also in terms of food nourishment, deficiency of vitamin “D”, etc.”
He reiterated: “MS may be appeared in some countries especially Scandinavia which sun is rarely found due to its climatic conditions.” Deficiency of vitamin “D” in these countries is more prevalent. On the contrary, prevalence of MS is less in countries which are located near Equator and continental regions. In a study made on patients suffering MS (Multiple Sclerosis), it was found that these patients enjoy less estrogen level of vitamin “D”. For this purpose, vitamin “D” is recommended to patients suffering from MS.”
He further noted that vitamin “D” plays an important role in various mechanisms in different reactions in body and making brain white material is one of the main tasks of vitamin “D”.
Omega 3, Omega 6, and Safety of Athletes
Severe and tense physical activities are led to creation of unpleasant changes in safety parameters such as total leucocyte, lymphocytes count, etc. and these changes vary dependent on severity of sports activity and its duration. Generally speaking, heavy sports activities are followed up with increased oxidative stress, instigation of inflammatory system, and changes in bronchitis level and respiratory ways. In each of two aeration and anaerobic sports, production of active species of oxygen and nitrogen (RNOS) is increased. This oxidative stress causes weakness of body antioxidant defense and oxidation in body sensitive tissues. Hereunder are major complications of oxidative stress: disorder in production of muscular power, disorder in recovery after doing sports activity and finally, acute and chronic inflammation. The athletes who carry out heavy and severe sports exercises are diagnosed with upper respiratory system infections one and two weeks after doing exercise.
This state can be coincided with respiratory and bronchitis disorder which is known as Exercise Bronchitis (EIB).
Changes in Sports Activity
Most professional sportsmen and athletes face with severe pains during permanent and continuous exercises. Moreover, some amateur athletes also face with pain due to doing very heavy exercise. These chronic pains are the ache that athlete fells in each time of doing exercise especially doing continuous exercises. These pains are due to the pressures incurred to various body organs during exercise and cause athletes fail to continue exercise for a long period. Most athletes have to take anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen which have unknown complications. Moreover chronic pains, destruction of protein of muscular fibers during exercise will cause considerable slump in performance of athletes. Increased inflammatory state even intensifies protein destruction and causes postponement of recovery period of athletes.
To reduce inflammation, which is main origin of unwanted and inappropriate complications, suitable and proper nutritional strategies can be sought. Moreover soothing inflammation, pain and analysis of functional power will cause prevention of outbreak of these complications as well. With prescribing a balanced food diet for athlete and adding some nutrients, not only sports efficiency can be increased after doing sport activity, but also athlete can be immunized from complications of excessive consumption of anti-inflammatory drugs.
Omega 3 Fatty Acids, Reducing Inflammation
In general, this group of unsaturated fatty acids has anti-inflammatory properties. Several studies have shown that supplements such as Eco Zapentonic Acid (EPA) and Decoys Hexanonic acid (DHA) available in fatty fishes have increased their sports performance significantly.
Use of omega 3 by athletes cause increased metabolic and cardiovascular health.
Omega 3 and Methods of Improving Sports Performance
These fatty acids can enhance and improve performance of athletes: 1) increase of consumption of fat and reduce muscular analysis, 2) reducing effects of inflammation and production of inflammatory intermediates, 3) reducing trauma as a result of acceleration of improvement of ills and acceleration of reconstruction of muscles, 4) treatment and/or prevention of bronchitis as a result of sports activity, 5) reduction of cardiovascular diseases among athletes, 6) increase of contraction power of muscular fibers and reduction of hardness of muscles,.
If omega-3 fatty acids are added to diet of athlete sufficiently, the said objectives can be materialized.
Omega- 3 Resources
Consumption of fish, which is the important rich resources of omega- 3 fatty acids especially DHA, can control inflammation as a result of heavy sports exercise and its subsequent pain. Hereunder are regarded as the most important animal and herbal resources rich in omega- 3 fatty acids: fatty fish such as salmon, tuna fish, salmon, seed of cotton, oil of cotton seed, and vegetables with dark- green leaves, and canola oil
Omega-6 Fatty Acids and Inflammation-Yielding Fats
Unlike omega-3 fatty acids, omega- 6 fatty acids can cause increased inflammation, spasm, vascular contraction and thrombosis hike and also blood coagulation. Oxidative stress and inflammation created during exercise is intensified with the consumption of omega- 6 fatty acids.
Omega- 6 Resources
Hereunder are regarded as the most important resources for omega- 6 fatty acids: most herbal oils used in cooking such as sunflower, soya and cotton seed.
Best Ratio of Omega- 3 and Omega- 6
Value of receiving omega-6 fatty acid is 10 fold more than that of omega- 3 fatty acid. As mentioned in above, omega- 3 and omega-6 fatty acids have direct relationship with inflammation. It is obvious that these two unsaturated fatty acids should be taken into consideration in a healthy diet for athletes. Several studies have shown that ratio of omega- 3 fatty acids should be increased in order to reduce and control inflammation among athletes and also acceleration of muscular reconstruction after doing exercise and in return, consumption of omega- 6 should be decreased.
1:2 ratio is the best ratio of omega- 6 to omega- 3 fatty acids. For most athletes, general manual for consumption of omega- 3 fatty acid (DHA and EPA) is two gram/day. Therefore, athletes are better to increase consumption of fish species such as salmon, tuna fish, and herbal resources rich in omega -3. Since omega- 3 fatty acids are “unsaturated” and are more prone to oxidation, it is better to consume it with solution antioxidant supplements such as vitamin “E”.
