Beyond mammography: Discover medical thermography.

Breast Cancer Week is the perfect time to talk about new tools in early detection. Do you know medical thermography?

This non-invasive imaging technique uses infrared cameras to detect temperature variations in breast tissues.

Why is it important?
Because a tumor, even in its early stages, can alter blood circulation and generate thermal changes.

What advantages does thermography have over other tests?

Does not use radiation: It is completely safe and can be done frequently.
Detects early changes: It can identify alterations much earlier than other tests.

Complements other techniques: It does not replace mammography, but it can be an excellent complement.

Medical thermography is not a diagnosis, but a screening tool. If any abnormality is detected, it is necessary to perform complementary tests to confirm or rule out the presence of a tumor.

Why talk about this during Breast Cancer Week?
Because early detection is key to increasing the chances of successful treatment.

By knowing the different screening options, we can make informed decisions about our health.

Feeding hope: Did you know that what you eat can influence your health and well-being?

During Breast Cancer Week, we want to talk about a powerful ally: conscious eating. Why is it so important?

Strengthen your immune system: A diet rich in nutrients helps your body fight diseases.

Reduces inflammation: Many foods have anti-inflammatory properties that can help prevent the development of cancer cells. Improve your energy: A balanced diet will give you the vitality you need to face everyday life.

What can you include in your diet?

Fruits and vegetables: They are a source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Whole grains: Provide fiber and slow-release energy.

Legumes: rich in protein and fiber. Seeds and nuts: They contain healthy fats and antioxidants.

Fish: An excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. Cook at home: Allows you to control ingredients and portions.

Limit processed foods: They are high in added sugars, saturated fats and sodium.

A healthy diet is only part of the equation. It is also important to maintain an active lifestyle, get enough sleep and have regular check-ups.

And although leading a healthy life is essential, it is a multifactorial disease, both genetic predisposition and emotional factors.

Remember that health is a journey and Human nature is infinite.

This is why a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach is important.

Do you feel like your mind needs a break?

Traditional Chinese Medicine offers us ancient tools to cultivate optimal mental health. ⁣TCM believes that our mental health is closely linked to the flow of vital energy, or Qi, through our meridians.

Just like a river needs to flow unhindered, our Qi must circulate freely to keep us balanced and in harmony.⁣

How does Qi imbalance affect our mental health?⁣ ⁣

Stress and anxiety: Excess worry can stagnate Qi and generate tension in the body.⁣ ⁣ Depression: Lack of vital energy can manifest itself in feelings of sadness and apathy.⁣ ⁣ Insomnia: Sleep difficulties are often a sign of emotional imbalance.⁣ ⁣

TCM offers a variety of treatments to restore balance and promote mental health:⁣ ⁣
Acupuncture: By inserting fine needles into specific points on the body, the flow of Qi is stimulated and symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression are relieved.⁣ ⁣

Phytotherapy: Chinese medicinal herbs have calming and toning properties that help balance emotions.⁣ ⁣

Tuina: This therapeutic massage relaxes muscles, releases tension and harmonizes the flow of energy.⁣ ⁣ Moxibustion: Applying gentle heat to acupuncture points helps warm and tone Qi.⁣ ⁣

Tai chi and Qi gong: These gentle practices combine movement, breathing and meditation to cultivate inner calm and improve mental health.⁣ ⁣
How can you incorporate TCM into your daily routine?⁣ ⁣
Meditation: Dedicate a few minutes a day to practice meditation and connect with your inner self.

Healthy eating: A balanced diet rich in fresh foods provides the necessary energy for your body and mind.

Regular exercise: Physical activity helps release endorphins, hormones that improve mood.

Enough rest: Make sure you get the necessary hours of sleep for your body and mind to recover. Connection with nature: Spending time outdoors helps you reduce stress and feel more connected to yourself.

TCM teaches us that mental health is a journey, not a destination.

By combining traditional treatments with a healthy lifestyle, we can cultivate a calm mind and a balanced body.
