Palencia, who following being a plastic surgeon with 20 years of experience, realized that his patients were physically transformed, but there was a lack of change in mentality and information regarding what it means to eat healthy, which makes them change their lifestyle and the results are seen.
He highlighted that many of these patients fell into anxiety and eating errors by not changing their lifestyle.
“An example is that our parents taught us from a young age that bread with butter and cheese was healthy. The consumption of chocolate drinks. And this is not really healthy food.”
It’s how the plastic surgeon comes to lifestyle medicine. “I became interested in my patients and my family and began to specialize.”
The doctor expressed that there are 62 million diabetics in Latin America in the world, which sets off the alarms of the Health Organization (WHO) and gives birth to this specialty in medicine.
After research, in 2008 this specialty “Lifestyle Medicine” was born and there are medical societies and international federations that offer tools to doctors from other specialties, to treat and reverse these diseases such as autoimmune diseases, high blood pressure, obesity, cancer, type 2 diabetes, among others.
“These doctors are prepared to influence patients and change their lifestyle. Yes, it is true that these diseases have a genetic component, but 70% has to do with what is done.”
According to the specialist, the solution “eat less and move more” since it is regarding reversing these diseases. It is reversing the habits that are brought from children inherited by parents because they are diseases of NOT KNOWING.
Although the solution to these diseases is not so easy and not all of them can be reversed. The cure is slow and many will only get better.
He assured that the reversal process can last 2 or 4 weeks and up to 6 months or a year, depending on the case.
Dr. Palencia revealed the five keys that lifestyle medicine offers to live better: 1 Healthy eating, physical activity, assertive stress management, adequate rest, and living in a harmonious environment.
When approaching the patient, the Dr. explained that they work hand in hand with the treating specialist, either the Endocrinologist in the case of diabetes or the Oncologist in the case of cancer. Likewise the Cardiologist in case of hypertension. As well as with the family environment, which is essential.
Likewise, he referred to the four enemies that are fought in the lifestyle
The four enemies that must be fought, according to lifestyle medicine, are:
1-The food industry (it is only interested in selling), 2-Pharmaceutical industry (it is there to keep customers, not to cure diseases), 3-Light products industry (they sell supposedly healthy products and they are full of addictive substances) and 4-the ego ( keeps us with wrong beliefs), there are four villains, according to the health professional.
The call is to increase the level of consciousness since there are 8 types of hunger: Thirst and it is confused with appetite, empty stomach, hunger for variety, hunger for hypoglycemia, emotional hunger, among the first.
The doctor also invited the community in general to visit the wellness cafe next to the Aurora center.
