SALUD Y BIENESTAR | Vie 29-05 | Bloq 2: Salud digestiva, microbiota y ejercicios para dolor de manos

We continue with a new edition of Health and Wellness with Brenda Uñate on Huarpe TV. At the start of this second segment, Brenda shares an important institutional announcement: in observance of National Organ Donation Day (May 30), the Ministry of Health, together with INISA (National Institute for Agrarian Health Research), will hold an open and participatory event in Parque de Mayo under the slogan "Solidarity and Love Save Lives," featuring sensory stations, games, and activities to raise awareness about transplantation and donation. Later, in observance of World Digestive Health Day (May 29), we are joined in the studio by renowned clinical gastroenterologist Dr. Sergio Montañés. The specialist explains why the digestive system is the cornerstone of our defenses (housing 70% of the immune system) and details the most common functional disorders that dominate current consultations due to the gut-brain axis, such as bloating, constipation, and abdominal pain. Dr. Montañés delves into the importance of the gut microbiota, the benefits of prebiotics, and the serious dangers of the indiscriminate use of antibiotics and antacids. He also provides the golden rules of nutrition (proper chewing, hydration, and avoiding ultra-processed foods) and reviews the key ages for preventive colon cancer screening. In the second part of the segment, our Fitness Flash features Melisa Herrera, a licensed kinesiologist and physiotherapist, who addresses a growing problem: hand and thumb pain caused by excessive cell phone use and repetitive daily movements. Melisa teaches us how to apply cryotherapy (immediate ice) and guides us step-by-step through a continuous and mindful routine of fun and strengthening exercises using resistance bands and household items (such as fruits or exercise balls), concluding with fundamental stretching techniques for the forearm and wrist. We close the segment with a great recommendation from the field of aesthetic medicine. Suggested On-Screen Graphics: DIGESTIVE HEALTH – The fundamental pillar that houses 70% of our defenses. DR.
