PREVENTION ( )CON TU MUNDOAND TREATMENT 51Diabetes is a chronic and irreversible metabolic condition thatoccurs when the pancreas does not produce insulin or producestoo little (type 1), or when the body becomes insulin resistant andcannot use it efficiently (type 2). Type 2 diabetes is generally asso-ciated with physical inactivity and a poor diet. Insulin is the hormo-ne responsible for bringing glucose from food to the cells, where itis transformed into energy that the body needs. If this cycle doesnot occur as it normally should, sugar accumulates in the blooduntil it reaches levels that are harmful to your health, dehydratingyour cells and leaving your body without fuel.FOOD ALTERNATIVES TOINCLUDE IN YOUR DIET► Black, green or stuffed olives.► Walnut butter, almond butter or peanut butter without added sugar.► Different varieties of nuts such as pistachios, macadamias, peanuts, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts and almonds.► Non-starchy vegetables such as chard, artichokes, eggplant, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, spinach, mushrooms, palm hearts and radishes.► Fruits such as dates, raspberries, figs, kiwis, strawberries, mandarins and mangoes.► Apricots, plums, peaches and cherries – either fresh or dried.► Other vegetables such as celery, alfalfa or soybean sprouts, pumpkin, onion, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumber, peppers of all kinds, leeks and tomatoes.► Unsweetened ready-to-consume grains, as well as bran or oat flour or flakes. Quinoa, rice, rye and whole barley are also recommended.

We have to do away with those patterns; this is why we have children who are alone – as they have barriers that are imposed upon them from home. They must be spontaneous, and parents must therefore allow children to have other spaces to spend time with their friends from school.”54

This is why it is common forthem to bring objects to their mouths andexplore them with it.HOW TO FOSTER FINE MOTOR SKILLSParents can attend workshops on how todevelop fine motor skills. While theseare beneficial and recommended, physi-cians recommend parents take time eachday to practice them. That is why thesetypes of activities help create bonds bet-ween parents and children, especially ifthis is done through play, as this is theway children interact. “When parentsbecome involved in play they createimportant emotional bonds. This is whydeveloping fine motor skills should notbe seen as a task, but something thathappens naturally through play. Itdoesn’t have to be very complicated,”the doctor concludes 57

YCOOUNRTWU OMRULNDDO( ) )little giantsFOSTERING FINE MOTORSKILLS AT EVERY STAGE Age one: children can build towers with big blocks, play with toys that make sounds, turn the pages of a cardboard book, and use both hands to hold and drink from a cup. Age two: children can hold stress balls, open and close containers with lids that pop off, roll and push objects, undress and eat alone or with little help. Age three: children can plant seeds of different sizes (which helps develop their ability to pinch with their fingers), open and close containers with screw caps, and take off their shirt, pants or shoes on their own. Age four: children can put play-dough in specific areas, place clothing pins around a piece of cardboard, and button and unbutton. Age five: children can use pencils and watercolors, use droppers, tie knots, and undress and get dressed all on their own.

According to Iván Arroyave, orthopedic MEDICAL ADVISOR IVÁN ARROYAVE - Orthopedic Doctor and Foot Surgeon doctor and foot surgeon, it is impossible to generalize the perfect shoe for everybody, “The foot’s structure is not designed to bear heavy loads. It is designed to distribute them. The sole of the feet can bear up to seven times a person’s body weight which is why shoes made with rigid materials that are not very ergonomic can cause pain in the heel, knee or back – for example. This is why it is important to know how to choose well.” In general, using inappropriate shoes that do not fit a person’s needs, can get their bones and muscles out of balance and make them overwork. They can also cause ham- mer, claw, and mallet toes, bunions, corns, overlapping toes and posture problems.MAKING YOUR CHOICE A GOOD EXPERIENCEOur expert gives a few general recommendations to keep in mind when purchasing footwear:1.

MEDICAL ADVISOR ALEJANDRO CASAS Pneumologist Some of the main risk factors that contribute to the onset of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) include smoking, being over 40 years old, having been exposed to wood and tobacco smoke, dust and other toxic gases (environmental pollu- tants), or having a history of tuberculo- sis. Previously known as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, COPD is a group of respiratory conditions that reduce air- flow to the lungs. “In Colombia, about 10 of every 100 people over age 40 have this condition.
