ABSTRACT
La relación de los hábitos alimentarios con la salud y la enfermedad ha preocupado al hombre desde sus orígenes. El Organon de la medicina contiene los principios de la terapéutica homeopática, a manera de integrar, estudiar y conocer todo cuanto le afecta al enfermo tanto de su interior como de su medio para proveerle de la salud, con el objetivo de conservar la vida. El presente trabajo busca conocer la percepción de la población del municipio de Tultepec (Estado de México) sobre salud alimentaria y medidas de prevenciónde las enfermedades crónico-degenerativas. Se realizó un estudio de tipo exploratorio, y la muestra fue de n=80. Se aplicó una encuesta para conocer los hábitos dietéticos y los tipos de alimentos que se consumen frecuentemente, la ingesta de agua al día, el tipo de actividad física y los factores predisponentes parapadecer sobrepeso y obesidad, así como su relación con enfermedades crónicodegenerativas. Los resultados muestran que la población no tiene un concepto generalizado sobre salud alimentaria; las ideas son múltiples, dejando ver que existe un gran analfabetismo sobre hábitos alimentarios. Surge entonces la necesidad de poner límites, promover la actividad física, estimular pautas y conductas adecuadas para preservar la salud, basadas en el parágrafo 261 del Organon que dice que, tratándose de enfermedades crónicas, el régimen más apropiado consiste en eliminar todo lo que obstruya la recuperación, moral sin malicia, recreación intelectual, ejercicio activo al aire libre, alimentación y bebidas apropiadas y nutritivas.

The multidisciplinary Institutional Committee of experts in Systemic Arterial Hypertension from the National Institute of Cardiology [quot ]Ignacio Chávez[quot ] presents its update (2008) of [quot ]Guidelines and Recommendations[quot ] for the early detection, control, treatment and prevention of Hypertension. The boarding tries to be simple and realistic for all that physicians whom have to face the hypertensive population in their clinical practice. The information is based in the most recent scientific evidence. These guides are principally directed to hypertensive population of emergent countries like Mexico. It is emphasized preventive health measures, the importance of the no pharmacological actions, such as good nutrition, exercise and changes in life style, (which ideally it must begin from very early ages). [quot ]We suggest that the changes in the style of life must be vigorous, continuous and systematized, with a real reinforcing by part of all the organisms related to the health education for all population (federal and private social organisms). It is the most important way to confront and prevent this pandemic of chronic diseases[quot ]. In this new edition the authors amplifies the information and importance on the matter. The preventive cardiology must contribute in multidisciplinary entailment. Based mainly on national data and the international scientific publications, we developed our own system of classification and risk stratification for the carrying people with hypertension, Called HTM (Arterial Hypertension in Mexico) index. Its principal of purpose this index is to keep in mind that the current approach of hypertension must be always multidisciplinary. The institutional committee of experts reviewed with rigorous methodology under the principles of the evidence-based medicine, both, national and international medical literature, with the purpose of adapting the concepts and guidelines for a better control and treatment of hypertension in Mexico. This work group recognizes that hypertension is not an isolated disease; therefore its approach must be in the context of the prevalence and interaction with other cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, dislipidemia and smoking among others. The urgent necessity is emphasized to approach in a concatenated form the diverse cardiovascular risk factors, since independently of which they share common pathophysiological mechanisms, its suitable identification and cont
