obesity and diabetes

2005-09-05T22:07:00.000-04:00

Scientists know that obesity is a key player in the development of type 2 diabetes, but exactly how excess weight causes the disease isn't clear.

While trying to answer that question, Harvard University researchers have discovered a new pathway that sets in motion a series of reactions that leads to the development of insulin resistance, a precursor of type 2 diabetes, a new study reports.

The researchers found that obesity causes stress in a system of cellular membranes called endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which in turn causes the endoplasmic reticulum to suppress the signals of insulin receptors, which then leads to insulin resistance.

Endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes found inside cells. Study author Dr. Gokhan Hotamisligil, a professor of genetics and metabolism at Harvard School of Public Health, said endoplasmic reticulum is "really the synthetic machine of the cell." It is responsible for processing proteins and fats.

Results of the study appear in the Oct. 15 issue of the journal Science.

Vitamin for Healthy Heart

2005-09-04T21:37:00.000-04:00

Heart disease or cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a general term for any disease of the heart (cardio) and blood vessels (vascular). This includes atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, heart attack or myocardial infarction, stroke, hypertension and congestive heart failure. CVD, though the number one cause of death in the United States, is not a natural occurrence of aging. The most important indicator of CVD is cholesterol levels. Many nutritional supplements can help regulate cholesterol levels. Foremost is the antioxidants, namely vitamin E, which protects the body from free radicals that damage the lining of the blood vessels, alter LDL-cholesterol and increase the build up of fat along the walls of the blood vessels. Nutrient intake has been shown to effect LDL (bad) and HDL (good) cholesterol levels in the body. In addition, inclusion of omega-3 fatty acid-rich fish may also protect against CVD. A diet that contains the B vitamins, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, selenium, zinc and an extra dose of antioxidants including vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene along with regular exercise will help in the prevention and treatment of heart disease.

Do you need Vitamin B12 ??

2005-09-01T20:01:00.000-04:00

If you are experiencing numbness in certain parts of body and developing fatigue , i bet you are lacking vitamin B12, read more about Vitmain B12 deficiency :

Vitamin B12 Deficiency Symptoms

A deficiency of vitamin B12 may cause pernicious (destructive) anaemia. It may lead to a poor appetite and retardation of growth in children, chronic fatigue, a sore mouth, a feeling of numbness or stiffness, loss of mental energy, and difficulty in concentration.

Deficiency of vitamin B12 affects every cell in the body, but is most severely felt in the tissues where the cells normally divide rapidly, as in the blood forming tissues of the bone marrow and in the gastro-intestinal tract. The nervous system is also affected and this may lead to degeneration of nerve fibres in the spinal cord and peripheral nerves.

Vitamin B12 - Cyanocobalamin Benefits

2005-09-01T19:59:00.000-04:00

Vitamin B12 Benefits:

Like vitamin B6, vitamin B12 is essential for the production and regeneration of red blood cells. It is also needed for the proper functioning of the central nervous system. It improves concentration, memory, and balance, and relieves irritability. Vitamin B12 is necessary for proper utilisation of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins for body building. It promotes growth and increases appetite in children. This vitamin is also involved in many vital metabolic ,and enzymatic processes, including the metabolism of folic acid. If the immune cells made in the bone marrow are to mature into active disease-fighters, a sufficient quantity of vitamin B12 and folic acid are necessary.

Symptoms of Sinus

2005-08-15T20:08:00.000-04:00

Symptoms of sinus congestion and sinus infection (Acute sinusitis):

Pain and facial tenderness around the eyes, forehead or cheeks are a common sinus symptoms and possible sinus infection. Eye pain may occur as a sinus symptom. Teeth pain is quite common as sinus symptoms and may include congestion and sinus infection. Pain in the roof of the mouth is one of a list of not so common sinus symptoms. Sinus headaches originating at the center forehead, temples or cheekbones, including sinus congestion and nasal congestion, with or without yellow or green nasal discharge are standard sinus symptoms and may include sinus infection. Individuals with sinus symptoms may develop sinus bad breath, and sinus cough especially at night when lying down slows drainage.

Constant sinus drainage at the back of the throat, which is also common on the list of sinus symptoms, often comes with congestion and sinus infection. A tickling sinus cough caused by constant drainage may occur, and of course sore throat are both sinus symptoms synonymous with sinus congestion and sinus infection. Lethargy fever is not a common symptom of sinus congestion and sinus infection, but does occur as sinus symptoms in some cases.

But there are some natural treatement available called nasal wash ...

sinus or Sinusitis

2005-08-15T20:05:00.000-04:00

what is Sinus ?

The sinuses are four pairs of hollow spaces in the bones of the face lined with mucous membranes and connected to the nose. The sinuses allow air to flow freely within the spaces in and out of the nose. Small hairs in the sinuses (cilia) regularly help move mucous out through the nose. When the small openings from the nose to the sinus cavities (sinus ostia) are blocked, or when too much mucous is produced, inflammation can occur within sinus cavities and cause sinus symptoms and acute sinusitis.

vertigo symptoms

2005-08-15T19:37:00.000-04:00

Vertigo is a type of dizziness that's characterized by the sensation of spinning. It's sometimes referred to as a hallucination of motion. Imagine what it would feel like to be placed suddenly on a roller coaster that won't stop, and you begin to understand the alarming symptom of vertigo.

A fairly common cause of vertigo is labyrinthitis (explanation below). This type of vertigo may occur after a flu-like illness, severe ear infection, or may have no clear cause. It's usually self-limited, meaning it goes away all by itself. But it may intermittently reappear over weeks to months. Bouts of vertigo are commonly treated with meclizine (Antivert).

Vertigo can also result from other vestibular (balance center) disorders. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is thought to be caused by tiny loose particles floating freely in the fluid (endolymph) of the vestibular system. Meniere's disease is a chronic condition that causes vertigo associated with ringing or roaring and progressive hearing loss in the affected ear(s). Other causes of vertigo include vestibular neuronitis (inflammation of the vestibular nerves), and post traumatic vertigo which may occur after an injury to the head involving the inner ear structures. Sometimes vertigo may be a symptom of a more serious underlying illness such as a stroke or tumor.

So, anyone with the symptom of vertigo should be seen immediately by a doctor in order to determine the cause. If you can't get in by appointment, then obtain a ride to your local emergency room. They're well equipped to do the required initial evaluation, and provide relief from the unpleasant symptoms, regardless of one's ability to pay. Don't drive or operate machinery until cleared by your physician.

CGF or Chlorella Growth Factor

2005-08-01T19:43:00.000-04:00

One of chlorella's unique properties is a phytonutrient called C.G.F. (Chlorella Growth Factor). C.G.F. is a nucleotide-peptide complex found in the nucleus of the chlorella cell. Much research on C.G.F.'s involvement in intravital cells to maintain health has been presented from specialists of the field. The nucleic acids produce new chlorella cells in the process of its growth, and control division, growth and production of cells. C.G.F. is considered to be the most valuable component in chlorella.

Chlorella

2005-08-01T19:42:00.000-04:00

Chlorella has been on earth since the pre-Cambrian period over 2 billion years. It is the first known form of plant life with a true nucleus. This is demonstrated by chlorella fossil excavated from a stratum from the pre-Cambrian period. It is a spherical, unicellular, freshwater green alga, and every 20 to 24 hours it divides four times.

Chlorella is very small, only 3 to 8 micrometers in diameter. It appeared before the public only in the end of the 19th century. Its name comes from "chlor" which means green in Greek, and "ella" which means a small thing in Latin.

Throughout its two-billion-year history (that is 1000 times as long as that of humankind) on this planet, chlorella has survived every convulsion of nature because of its tough outer cell wall protecting its genetic integrity and its rapid reproductive ability. The oxygen that exists on earth was generated from sunshine, water and carbonic acid gas that algae like chlorella produced with their highly photosynthetic capacity. At the same time, they produced various fundamental nutrients that multicellular organisms (generated in later period) needed to support life.

With its capacity for photosynthesis that is several tens of times higher than that of other plants, chlorella produces an amazingly large amount of protein that is about 38 times that of soy beans, and about 55 times that of rice. Another characteristic is its copious yet well-balanced amounts of 8 essential amino acids, as well as vitamins and minerals.

There are many species of chlorella, but only Chlorella pyrenoidosa (SUN CHLORELLA strain) was found to be rich in nutrients. In Japan it was studied as a possible "dream food" in response to the food shortage that resulted after defeat in the war. Later studies have brought many people to use it as a health food.

Sun Chlorella - Nature's Super Food

Chlorella is second only to Spirulina in food Value. It is an extremely concentrated source of nutrition and complements Spirulina well. TeamUp cracks the cell walls of its chlorella to make the nutrients more digestible and available.

Chlorella is a whole food that is rich in nutrients such as protein, enzymes, vitamins, rninerals, and, of course, chlorophyll. It contains vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, C, E, and K, as well as beta-carotene, biotin, choline, essential fatty acids, folic acid, inositol, niacin, and pantothenic acid. Chlorelia is used to improve bowel function, stimulate the growth of healthful bacteria, and regulate cholesterol. It improves immune function, has potent anti-viral and anti-tumor activity, and can repair DNA. It possesses a unique group of substances that may help repair dam- aged organs and tissues. This sub- stance is called Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF). In addition, the materials in chlorella;s cell wall may have the capacity to promote normal peristalsis and to absorb intestinal poisons.

Health Benefits of Green Tea

2005-07-21T22:00:00.000-04:00

There are four primary polyphenols in green tea and they are often collectively referred to as catechins.

Powerful antioxidants, catechins have been shown in recent studies to fight viruses, slow aging, and have a beneficial effect on health. Clinical tests have shown that catechins destroy free radicals and have far-reaching positive effects on the entire body.

Free radicals are highly reactive molecules and fragments of molecules that can damage the body at the cellular level leaving the body susceptible to cancer, heart disease, and many other degenerative diseases.

Green tea antioxidants have been shown to lower cholesterol.

For information on green tea and its effect on weight loss please click here- weight loss benefits of green tea.

EGCG is a potent antioxidant.

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), an antioxidant found in green tea, is at least 100 more times more effective than vitamin C and 25 times more effective than vitamin E at protecting cells and DNA from damage believed to be linked to cancer, heart disease and other serious illnesses. This antioxidant has twice the benefits of resveratrol, found in red wine.

Special Benefits of Green Tea
Reduces high blood pressure. Drinking green tea represses angiotensin II which leads to high blood pressure.

Lowers blood sugar. Green tea polyphenols and polysaccharides are effective in lowering blood sugar.

Fights cancer. There have been many studies that have shown that green tea catechins are effective at preventing cancer.

Green tea also boosts the immune system because of its high concentrations of polyphenols and flavenoids.

Citizens of Uji and Shizuoka, where we get our teas (and where most green tea in Japan is harvested) have among the lowest rates of cancer in the world. They drink more high quality green tea, per capita, than residents of any other region in Japan.

High grade green teas contain more polyphenols than ordinary teas. They are also delicious!

Unfermented green tea leaves are the least processed form of tea. Drinking green tea from 100% quality tea leaves is the most natural way to gain these health benefits.

what causes Migraines

2005-07-13T19:39:00.000-04:00

Doctors have different theories about the causes of migraines and headaches. Most doctors agree, however, that they have multiple causes and that it is important to do a thorough examination if you have recurring headaches.

Here are a few of the most common causes:

• Stress and tension are high up on the list of culprits. Stress causes the muscles in the neck and head to tense up, thereby constricting blood flow to the brain
• Migraine may be preceded by a spasm of the arteries leading to the brain, once again diminishing blood flow to the brain
• Hormonal fluctuations may cause headache or migraine. This may also be linked to the contraceptive pill
• Buildup of toxins and poor liver functioning can also be responsible, reducing the body's ability to eliminate toxins from the diet or the environment
• Certain foods may trigger migraine in susceptible people. The most common are chocolate, cheese, nuts, alcohol and MSG
• Low blood sugar levels and dehydration can also bring on headache, especially if you have skipped a meal.

Personally i feel taking natural drugs wouldn't cause any side effects, one should try authentic herbal drugs for any particular disorder/disease. Problem is how and where to get authentic herbal drugs.

Loose 14 Pounds in 12 Weeks

2005-07-05T11:45:00.000-04:00

Eat and loose weight

It's easy. It's simple. And it tastes good. Eat light yogurt daily as part of your weight loss plan, and you could lose an average of 14 pounds in just 12 weeks.

That's the word from researchers at the University of Tennessee who have found that people who included Yoplait Light as part of their weight loss plan lost significantly more weight compared to others who simply reduced the number of calories.

Specifically, this is what the yogurt eaters lost during the 12-week study:

22 percent more weight for an average weight loss of 14 pounds.
66 percent more body fat.
81 percent more trunkal (or stomach) fat.

How does yogurt do this? It appears to fuel the body's fat-burning ability, which in turn makes it easier to lose fat and maintain lean muscle.

The study: Led by Michael Zemel, a professor of nutrition, the research team studied the impact of adding yogurt to a reduced-calorie diet among 34 healthy, but obese, adults. They were randomly assigned to one of two diet groups. The first group consumed about 1,100 mg of calcium each day, including three servings of Yoplait Light yogurt, while the other group ate a low-calcium diet with only one serving of dairy a day. The second group is a reflection of the typical American diet, which is low in calcium. Participants were given individualized diet plans that were about 500 less calories fewer than they typically ate. Weekly measurements of body weight and blood pressure were taken.

The results: "Not only did yogurt help the study participants lose more weight--the average weight loss was 14 pounds--they were about twice as effective at maintaining lean muscle mass," Zemel said in a news release announcing the findings. "This is a critical issue when dieting. You want to lose fat, not muscle. Muscle helps burn calories, but it is often compromised during weight loss." The calcium helped the dieters lose more than an inch around their waist.

More important, they lost weight were it counts the most--in their tummies. Stomach fat is the most dangerous kind of fat, creating a higher risk for heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and some types of cancer.

"The moral of the calcium story is to not dump dairy when you're dieting," Zemel explained in the news release. "Not only is it critical to keep your calcium levels high so you won't lose bone density, but also it will help you maintain your muscle mass and increase your fat loss. A diet rich in low-fat dairy foods, like yogurt, can help make your weight loss efforts easier."

How much dairy should you eat each day? Zemel recommends three servings of fat-free and low-fat foods.The study findings were published in the International Journal of Obesity

Burn calories

2005-07-03T18:21:00.000-04:00

if you think that you don't have time to exercise? Try some of these tricks for burning more calories during the day.

15 Ways to Sneak in Walking Time

1. Elevate Yourself
Take the escalator--but climb the stairs while you ride. You'll get there faster and use your muscles while you're at it. Just 5 minutes of stair climbing burns 144 calories.

2. It's a Trip
Instead of piling items on the stairs so you can take them upstairs at once, take them one at a time.

3. Stand Tall
When cooling your heels while waiting in a doctor's office, drugstore, or airport, stay on your feet--standing burns 36 more calories per hour than sitting.

4. Leave Excuses at Home
Rake leaves instead of using a leaf blower: You'll burn 50 more calories every half hour.

5. Elbow Grease
Scrub your floors more often. Putting some elbow grease into cleaning floors is more intense than vacuuming--and it makes your floors look better to boot.

6. Hubba Bubba
Chew sugarless Gum. Research has found that the action of jaw muscles alone burns about 11 calories an hour.

7. Scrubbing Bubbles
Wash your car by hand instead of taking it through the automatic carwash. You'll burn an extra 280 calories in an hour.

8. Game Time
Play with the kids. Impromptu games of basketball, touch football, or tag--or just jumping rope or throwing a ball--will help you use energy and set a good example of active play for the children. Calories burned: 80 to 137 every 10 minutes.

Hydroderm

2005-07-02T13:07:00.000-04:00

When skin ages, its collagen molecules break down, which leads to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. Most anti-wrinkle cosmetics only contain partial proteins or hydrolyzed collagen particles because collagen molecules are too large to enter the skin through conventional lotions.

To solve this problem, Hydroderm researchers developed the patented Collagen Infusion Delivery System contained in the Fast Acting Wrinkle Reducer. This breakthrough formula delivers full, intact collagen molecules into the epidermis, reducing wrinkles and creating a healthier glow. The Wrinkle Reducer also contains a natural concentrate of selected proteins called Vyo-Serum that produces an immediate tightening effect for additional lift and vitality.

Obesity and smoking speed up Aging

2005-06-27T21:02:00.000-04:00

Obesity and smoking speed up aging, researchers said on Tuesday.

They showed that people who smoke cigarettes or are obese have shorter telomeres, the caps on chromosomes that prevent them from fraying, which makes them biologically older than their non-smoking, leaner counterparts.
“Our findings suggest that obesity and cigarette smoking accelerate human aging,” said Dr. Tim Spector, of St. Thomas’ Hospital in London.

Telomeres shorten each time a cell divides. The loss is associated with aging which is why telomeres are thought to hold the secrets of youth and the aging process.Shorter telomeres As telomeres get smaller, the chromosomes can become unstable and increase the risk of mutation.

“Obesity and cigarettes cause oxidative stress to increase and this cumulative damage over time causes the loss of these telomeres, which we believe is a marker of accelerative aging and accounts for why these people get heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis and other age-related disease,” Spector told a news conference.

Oxidative stress is damage to cells and DNA caused by free radicals — charged particles found in the environment and produced by processes in the body.

Spector and scientists at the University of Medicine and Dentistry in New Jersey compared telomere length from blood samples of 1,122 British women between the ages of 18 and 76.

Nearly 120 of them were obese, 531 had never smoked, 203 were smokers and 369 had quit. The research is published in The Lancet medical journal.

The scientists found a decrease in telomere length that corresponded to the more obese the women were and the amount of cigarettes they had smoked.

There was a difference between being obese and lean which corresponded to 8.8 years of aging. Being a current or ex-smoker equated to about 4.6 years and smoking a pack a day for 40 years corresponded to 7.4 years of aging.

“Our results emphasize the potential wide-ranging effects of the two most important preventable exposures in developed countries — cigarettes and obesity,” the researchers said in the journal.

Obesity, which affects about 300 million people worldwide, increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke and other illnesses.

Researchers have shown that cigarette smokers die on average 10 years earlier than non-smokers but that kicking the habit can halve the risk. Smoking is a leading cause of lung cancer and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. It also increases the risk of heart disease.

Facts about Omega 3

2005-06-26T22:11:00.000-04:00

Before start taking any Omega3 you need to make sure that Omega3 you are taking is right type for you. I will try to cover few of the facts you should know :

Recently, there has been considerable publicity about the benefits of Omega 3's, most of which is true and some of which is not.

There is no doubt that Omega 3's can not only help your heart and joints but it will also help your brain. Most people are aware of this, but do the benefits of Omega 3's apply across the board for all types of Omega 3's? There are now many Companies in the world market today trying to capitalize on the Omega 3 'boom' with such a wide range of products and so many claims that it is hard for the consumer to sift out fact from fiction.

The purpose of today's article is to try and concisely as possible give you the facts about Omega 3.

I will try to explain the most important ones by dealing with each of them individually.

1.Why you should take Omega 3?

Your prime objective for consuming Omega 3 should be to get DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) into your body. The scientific evidence supporting the benefits of DHA is now overwhelming. It is much more important than EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) which is the major Omega 3 component of most fish oils.

The explanation as to why DHA is the most important substance, is somewhat technical and not possible to explain in an article such as this. However, if you would like to read a straightforward scientific paper on it, I would suggest that you review a paper by Lloyd A. Horrocks and Young K. Yeo. To access this paper please

Slowing down Aging is a possibility

2005-06-26T22:07:00.000-04:00

Though death is still as inevitable as taxes, future generations may age more slowly and live significantly longer. Here are five scientists in the vanguard of research, offering new insights into the biochemistry of aging—and opening the door for life-lengthening drugs. Their approaches vary, but they share the belief that the human life span is not fixed.

why you need DHA and EPA ?

2005-06-24T17:07:00.000-04:00

The Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids make up two families of fats that are absolutely essential to human life. These essential fatty acids are important because they form important components of our cell membranes. They also regulate the body’s use of cholesterol and the production of substances that regulate nearly all other bodily processes.

Most of the processed foods and vegetable oils we consume today have high amounts of Omega-6. But these oils have very little Omega-3. Today nutritional science is validating more and more healthful benefits that Omega-3 fatty acids can have on the human mind and body. Omega-3 fatty acids in their long-chain forms, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are both found almost exclusively in deep, cold water fish. EPA is needed to create health-promoting prostaglandins that support cardiovascular health and cell membranes throughout the body. DHA is vital for a healthy brain, eyes and reproductive system. *

The body works best when the two types of fatty acids are combined in the right proportions. Because there is evidence that people in industrialized nations have a disproportionately high intake of Omega-6 fatty acids, it is suggested that we reduce our intake of Omega-6 and increase our intake of Omega-3. Daily supplementation with Coromega and reduced intake of Omega-6 fatty acids is a great way to seek a balance of these essential nutrients.

secrets of Vitamin D for your health

2005-06-23T21:48:00.000-04:00

Vitamin D plays a much larger role in regulating health, than simply promising strong bones. Researchers from around the globe have discovered that getting the recommended daily vitamin D intake could help reduce plaguing health risks such as MS and diabetes.

Ordinarily, a vitamin is an essential element the body cannot create on its own; however, it is possible for people to create all the vitamin D they need from a cholesterol-like precursor.

For adults, the recommended amount of international units (IU) of vitamin D per day should be between 200 to 600 IU, though most people don’t even come close to that. During the summer months that goal is easily reached, as the human body can generate up to 12,000 IU of vitamin D from only half an hour of sun exposure. However, during winter months, the daily intake people derive from food and sun exposure falls way below the recommended amount.

Further, people who live farther from the equator find it extremely difficult to get enough sun to maintain sufficient blood concentrations of the vitamin.

By running tests, researchers attempted to discover the myriad of benefits vitamin D has to offer.

They found that the vitamin helps regulate cell growth, immunity and energy metabolism. It also could possibly serve as a model for drugs that might tame a range of stubborn, hard to treat diseases.

Benefits of Vitamin D Include:

* Protection against multiple sclerosis (MS)
* Prevention of diabetes
* Signals colon, breast and prostate cells to stop growing and eventually succumb to programmed cell death

One common concern linked to not getting enough vitamin D is leg weakness. According to studies, people who had higher readings of vitamin D also had greater thigh strength. Researchers conducted deficiency studies and found that with a daily vitamin D intake of at least 400 IU, a woman’s risk of being injured in a fall was decreased by 20 percent.

Another group of researchers who linked vitamin D to immune benefits found that subjects given the lowest amount of vitamin D intake were 25 percent more likely to experience tooth-gum detachment than subjects given the highest intake of the vitamin.

Fish oil protects against Alzheimer's disease

2005-06-14T18:54:00.000-04:00

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. High levels of the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are found in the more active areas of the brain including the cerebral cortex, mitochondria, synaptosomes, and synaptic vesicles. At least one epidemiologic study has shown that patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) have significantly lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their plasma phospholipids than do age-matched controls. Researchers at the Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center now report that older people can reduce their risk of developing AD by increasing their intake of fish and fish oil (DHA).
