It owes its name to chemical compounds, which element is formed on all oxidation; +1 to + 6 [4,7,8]. Chromium is an element which, in the environment occurs in two forms as Cr (III) and Cr (VI) [4,5,6,8]. The role of the element in the human body primarily is seen in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and especially cholesterol levels [1]. Chromium as a chemical compound in the oxidation of Cr (III) is part of enzymes, ribonucleic acids, accelerates blood coagulation and also increases the activity of B-glucuronidase. The properties element plays a key role in the antioxidant during the synthesis of RNA and DNA immune response affects the synthesis of certain vitamins and hormones. In adult women for the correct standard daily intake of chromium with the diet I recognize the value of 25 µg in men 35 µg [7,8].

    Introduction: The World Health Organization (WHO) defines obesity as "abnormal or excessive accumulation of adipose tissue that poses a health risk". It results from the interdependencies between genetic, cultural, and socio-economic factors. The choice of therapy in the treatment of overweight and obesity depends on body mass index (BMI), individual predispositions, comorbidities and weight history. Among the treatment methods stand out, dietary modification, lifestyle changes, pharmacotherapy, and bariatric surgery. Each of these treatments can be used individually or as a combination treatment using knowledge of physiology. The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of overweight and obesity treatment using pharmacotherapy and lifestyle modification. Material and Methods: The research material was collected by searching databases with scientific articles about obesity, pharmacotherapy in obesity, the impact of lifestyle modifications, behavioral behavior, and physical activity on the reduction of body fat. The scientific database Pubmed and Web of Science were used. Research articles, systematic reviews and meta-analyses were included.  Summary Obesity is an epidemic of the 21st century, bringing with it several negative consequences. Prevention of the disease, quick diagnosis, and implementation of appropriate treatment to reduce unnecessary fat and excess weight are extremely important. Lifestyle change including dietary modification, physical activity and pharmacotherapy are promising treatments for overweight and obesity

    Malignant tumors are diseases occurring in any population in the world, characterized by a high mortality [1]. In the developed countries are the second cause of death after cardiovascular diseases. Among the risk factors for many cancers, distinguished tastes bad habits. A new trend in academic research on the effects of inadequate supply of selenium in the diet at risk of developing cancer, in particular carcinoma of the colon, lung or prostate cancer. The role of selenium, looking also for prevention against cardiovascular events. Cardiovascular disease 50 years of age are the biggest threat to his countrymen. CSO data show since 1992 that the participation of these diseases in the total number of deaths decreased from 52% to 45.6% in 2012. Selenium deficiency also affects, for example, the development of thyroid disease. Autoimmune thyroiditis, hypothyroidism or crop neutral. Deiodinase are selenoenzymes, which play an essential role in the metabolism of thyroid hormones. Deiodinase, type 1, 2 is involved in the process dejodacji thyroxine [T4] for the active company in the form of 3,3 ', 5-triiodothyronine [T3] [34]. Selenium is a trace element was discovered in 1817 by Swedish chemist Berzelius. Until 1957 was considered, for the root of the toxic effects. Selenium is a trace element belonging to the micro [17,18,19]. As a building block and a redox active enzymes, the cytochrome is involved in metabolic processes in the cell.
