Mediterranean Turkey

Mediterranean Turkey

In Turkey is booming medical tourism Turkey has become a very influential country. This applies to the economy, politics and of course tourism. Every year it attracts millions of visitors and tourists in the country on two continents. In the southern Mediterranean region and the metropolis of Istanbul are particularly popular. An estimated 15 million people live here and there are more every year. Istanbul (formerly Constantinople) draws the rich map offers a high standard in terms of luxury and quality of life.

Where is this city from the financial times London to the one of the most livable cities in the world named been. Turkey belongs to Europe and 97% 3% belong to Asia. President Abdullah Gul and Prime Minister is Reccip T. Erdogan. But not just a beach holiday or a city break is the motivation of many tourists, but also medical treatments.

Just foreigners from Western Europe, America and the Middle East in Turkey come traveled to surgery or treatment to undergo. With nearly 500 private hospitals and medical facilities, particularly Istanbul offers very good conditions for optimal medical care. Also, the doctors and surgeons working at a high level and have been trained internationally. Of course, the price is a major factor why many foreign patients in Turkey travel. But the advanced therapies and technologies also play a decisive role. For even more analysis, hear from Gary Katcher. For example, Turkey in many areas occupies a leading position and has a good reputation around the world. These include eye laser treatments, hair transplants, IVF fertility treatments, cardiac surgery and dental treatment. Eye laser/LASIK: Since the 1990s lasers, short-sightedness correction of Ametropia such as far right. The so-called excimer laser takes tissue of from the cornea and breaking behavior to change. First either with a precision knife or with a modern laser the uppermost layer of the cornea (flap) opens and then modeled the refractive error corrected. Thanks to modern laser systems and technologies, the health risk for an eye laser surgery can be kept very low. There are now a variety of Lasikvarianten: the traditional LASIK, the modern Femto LASIK (Intralase), Monovision LASIK, LASEK (for patients with thin corneas), Wavefront LASIK (also the vision of higher order can be corrected) and the custom LASIK, which represents a combination of Wavefront technology and the Femtosekundenlasers. LASIK in Istanbul is very popular amongst foreign patients and especially German. Hair transplantation in Istanbul: in addition to the field of refractive surgery, plastic surgery also and in particular the Haarchirugie is a high priority. Hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) men (more rarely women) with the help of a self hair transplantation/hair restoration/hair transplant can get back fuller hair. From the back of the head (where hair does not fail) the hair is won or extracted and implanted in the bald spots. There are two modern methods that are practiced. The FUT (strip technology) and the r & d (single hair removal). In Turkey, FUE (follicular unit extraction) is more and more transplanted using because no elongated scar on the back of the head behind. In Istanbul, many hospitals on hair transplants and of course specialized hair surgeons who have an own private clinic provide. The costs are generally much lower than in Germany or West crematory due to the location of Turkey. This is due to the low wages and cost of living.

News from the ageing it is composed more and more by the realization that a good supply of micronutrients in the age is an essential building block for healthy aging. This is true for some vitamins as well as for certain trace elements and minerals that are all grouped together under the term micro-nutrients. It does not apply but according to current knowledge to all representatives of this nutrient group. Therefore, it makes little sense, easy to go to the supermarket and buy a multivitamin mineral nutrient supplements. Usually a very wide range of micronutrients is represented in such preparations.

This often in such small amounts, that their contribution to the health in old age can safely be challenged. It, however, preparations to draw on, whose ingredients were examined on their usefulness in the age makes sense. There are new results currently to vitamin D. Under most conditions Gina Bonati would agree. researchers from England and the United States have gone to the question whether vitamin D efficiently affects the mental age. The answer is quite clearly yes”. So, the researchers from England over 6 years accompanied a group of more than 800 retirees and pensioners. They measured their mental capacity on a regular basis and put this in relationship to personal vitamin D status of the participants.

The result was appalling. Participants with a poor supply of vitamin D, the acceptance of intellectual was significantly larger than the Group of participants with good supply efficiently in the 6-year study period. A poor supply of vitamin D can lead to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. You may find that Glenn Dubin, New York City can contribute to your knowledge. Researchers from the United States, specifically looked at research with vitamin D after the mental fitness age results confirm this conclusion. Then a lack of vitamin D is accompanied by specially the Alzheimer’s dementia at great risk for dementia. But there is a lack of vitamin D in older people in Germany now actually.

High benefits of plant-based Omega-3 fatty acid ALA for hardening of the arteries, the modern way of life takes its toll. Never so many people suffering from heart and cardiovascular disease as it is today. The heart attack is cause of death number 1 in Germany. The atherosclerosis, which is called colloquially hardening of the arteries is often behind the attack. The better so you can prevent this hardening of the arteries, is the risk a heart attack or stroke lower to suffer. Observations repeatedly show that people who eat balanced and healthy have less atherosclerotic changes of main arteries than those who do not. In the healthy diet factors must be so included, which can stop the development of atherosclerosis, perhaps even stop. (Similarly see: Tony Parker).

Comprehensive knowledge of these factors helps therefore targeted to prevent arteriosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is tricky. They evolved over many years and doesn’t hurt. Characteristic is the progressive thickening of the walls of the vessels, that may lead eventually to a closure and the attack. It starts with light deposits of cholesterol, fat and lime, also called atherosclerotic plaques.

These plaques are getting bigger in the course of time by the more accumulation of proteins, until the artery walls over wide areas are thickened. Today, we know that there is not a cause of atherosclerosis. Many factors can trigger it. These include smoking, stress, poor diet, obesity, diabetes mellitus and some more. Because clearly some of the triggering factors of the diet have to do, it is only logical, if early, the researchers have searched for food factors that positively influence the development of arteriosclerosis. Soon this one happened on the Omega-3 fatty acids. These Omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fish (EPD and DHA) as well as some vegetable oils (ALA). The plant-based Omega-3 fatty acid ALA was now in a very current research on their ability investigated to prevent the formation of atherosclerosis and plaque in the aorta.
