The myth of the Loose Skin?

6:02 AM |

Have noticed how when people who are overweight lose lots of weight in a short period of time, they seem to have leftover loose skin which seems sinking fins and stay forever?


I am not really overweight, but I have twins in 2001.I'm very petite (4?11?, started probably around 100 pounds at the beginning of pregnancy) for what I got extreeeeeeemely stretched towards the final.después, while I lost 70 pounds that I purchased, which still had this huge fold of skin in my belly has never disappeared in 6 years.


At least I really thought it was mostly skin.Everyone has said.


Now that I am cleaning up my diet and work more, I have been wondering if this tab "skin" would always be all?.Casi everyone that I was referring to said yes, unless the surgery (which is not an option for me).


How depressing.?


And then a few days ago came through this article:


The myth of the Loose Skin


That much sense to me and gave me boy esperanza.El really sounds as he knows what he is talking about.Basically, the essence of the article is that the skin is thinner than paper.By what all "loose skin" is not really fair skin but a layer of fat.And fat can be undone in with proper diet and exercise! Y will fit the piel.Por it, read it and tell me what kids think. sure it gave me hope for my "twin skin" problem!

Knowledge is progress

1:18 AM | ,

Monday 26 February, the Center for Science in the public interest (CSPI) held a conference press to highlight several chain restaurants that offer single-course menu items each loaded with 2,000 calories or more. In the March edition of the Healthletter nutrition action, the article entitled X-treme eating: more lenient menus entice Diners to Pig Out? detailed content of calories and fat of these dishes. Many contained on one day more than two days of fat and calorie requirement. Director Executive of CSPI Michael Jacobson is pushing for the city, State and federal laws that require information from nutrition on chain restaurant menus.


 In response to this report, Philadelphia City Councilman Blondell Reynolds Brown (pictured left) proposed a chain that require measuring restaurants operating within the city to provide information of nutrition for its menu items. Required information includes calorie, fat, carbohydrate carbon and sodium."The proposal has been praised by CSPI, as well as by Sara Solomon Temple University for research on obesity and Education Center.""Knowledge, if not power, unless progress is," ? said Solomon, as regards the fight against the epidemic of obesity.


Said Councilman Brown, "consumers want to know". And by all indications, it is absolutely right. Customers who were interviewed on the street by the affiliate WPVI Philly ABC News seemed to support its new proposal unconditionally.As came out to restaurants in the chain, they were asked if you know the calorie dishes would affect how they order. are you A young woman in Ridley Park, said, "if I knew what was in the food items and the intake of calories, would change my mind"? "Absolutely."


A reporter WPVI placed calls to members of the Philadelphia restaurant industry.Not received any response.(I imagine that the restorers are all occupied in contact with the NRA: no, not people of the International Federation of restaurants - to know what should be its colectiva.También response pistol I suppose that his answer will have much more to do with welfare benefits of its restaurants to health and well-being of its customers.)


Do you think? do you support a labeled menu proposal if your city representative suggested that?

History notes favourably Grand Junction, Colorado, saying that the community is "one of lowest cost the country markets"but"However, has some of the highest scores of quality of care for Medicare."


Since then, as the writing of two researchers on a piece of perspective which had just been published online in the New England Journal of medicine, "many reporters have made the pilgrimage to this Mecca of low-cost, trying to explain why health there is cheaper than in other places in the United States."


Obviously, some things about the community, such as "nature of the small town" and "relatively homogeneous racial makeup," not can only be taken by other areas looking for their own costs of health, Thomas Bodenheimer, of the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine of excellence in primary care and David West, Center and hold a hospitalist in the Hospital St. Mary of Grand Junction write.


But, they write, "seven interrelated functions" that can help explain the lower costs of Grand Junction could more easily be transferido.Aqu? is identified:

Well organized and tiered services: St Mary is only tertiary care hospital in the region and is fed by smaller hospitals "not providing expensive Interventional Services", such as cardiac procedures.


Limits on supply of expensive resources:St. Mary "has maintained its number of beds and expensive equipment to reasonable levels."


Payment documents of primary care for hospital of visita:This enhances the continuity of care, and the authors say, helps reduce the possibility of unnecessary hospital readmissions.


Robust care, end of his vida:Non-profit Hospice area also provides palliative care, doctors learn to speak instructions in advance with the patients and the public learns about the options at the end of his life.

Herbal medicine: an ounce of prevention

7:15 AM | , , ,

In recent years the issue of Alternative Healing has taken the medical world by storm. A 2004 Government survey concluded that more than one-third of adults use some form of alternative medicine and healing. Many of those who use alternative therapies not them even discuss their practitioners.One facet traditional healthcare this growing interest is medicine herbal. While that may seem "fashion" for some, medicine herbal has existed for thousands of years.In indeed, many of the medications pharmaceutical relatives that we use today were created originally "natural" ingredients. Drugs like opium (from poppies), aspirin (Willow bark), Digitalis (from Foxglove) and quinine (tree cinchona.)Herbal medicine is the use of botanists (plants), either individually or in combination to prevent and treat certain ailments and native to different geographical locations illnesses.People have long used plants and extracts of plants to cure specific maladies.Sometimes referred to as "folk" medicine, he is generally recognized that there are three schools research one may continue with regards to the history of these treatments.There is the study of medicines based on Greek, Roman and medieval sources used largely by the schools of thought Westerners, Ayurveda comes from India and eastern medicine Herbal Chinese tradition. Rather than separation, these different schools of thought provide common division.It is located at the rate of that ancient peoples used plants that were native to your geographic location, which provides sound reasoning as to why different schools of thought exist.All three of these modalities at the same time including philosophical and spiritual, together with the scientific knowledge that existed, within a specific time frame.In aspects, the study that found a third of Americans used alternative therapies, the same number of surveyed showed an increase in dramatic results in more than 60% when "prayer" was included in the mix.Ayurveda, loosely translated into "knowledge of life", is the ancient Indian medicine system. Dating back to more than 6,000 years, medicine practiced not only Ayurvedic medicine herbal, but some of the first surgeries as inoculation.Over age that Ayurvedic medicine became increasingly more symptomatic as opposed to treating the root cause of disease, which was originally in the strengthening of the immune system.With all our achievements in the field of medicine, is interesting that physicians are still treating "effect" instead of "cause".the old adage that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" could not be more true. This is especially true when it comes natural remedies.Nothing composition of a plant told us in what way would be used best. There are more than half a million known herbs that could be used as possible remedies.Chinese herbalist professionals have over 2,000 herbs that are readily available in their remedies pharmacies.Herbal around of the balloon in the strength of the very mild and gentle remedies that are used as food, are potential poisons when taken in the use of the wrong remedies dose.Folk herbal is familiar to all of us in some way or another. This is because the herbal remedies are learned by that are passed from generation to generation.Unfortunately this hearsay is what feeds the wrath of the scientific community and their disdain.But by dismissing generations of experience and observation, is actually the traditional scientific community is losing this wisdom.In recently, attitudes towards the traditional remedies and herbs have changed for the better below. Many medical schools now offer studies in complementary medicine alongside traditional medical courses.It only a matter of time before medical herbal goes on to form part of a practice more holistic healthcare.Copyright 2005 ?

A recent report by Aberdeen scientists presented preliminary data that suggest the concentration of sperm of men seen in his clinic had decreased by 29% over the past 14 years.British fertility society (January 5, 2004)


Chemicals and pollutants POPs) disrupt the endocrine system of standard plastics, every day is known to cause reproductive damage as documented in the book of Theo Colborn "Our stolen future".


Damage caused by exposure to common as alcohol, pesticides, chemicals in food, semen has been linked to reduced intelligence and child behavior disorders.


Known risk factors to lower sperm quality include


≫ the habit of smoking
> alcohol consumption
> stress Chronicle
≫ the nutritional deficiencies.


Also you may want to exclude congenital factors and health such as prostatitis and diabetes can affect sperm production conditions.


Pollution is to steal our future, and there is very little anyone can do to evitarlos.No there may be a lot you can do to reduce your exposure to persistent environmental toxins.


But there are clear measures you can take to reduce the impact of environmental contaminants and toxins in the body.


It can prevent, and to some extent, repair the damage caused to his body, for a better lifestyle and nutrition.


These are some of the antioxidants and nutritional therapies that proved to be beneficial in the treatment of male infertility and improve the sperm motility of sperm morphology.

> arginine
> zinc
> selenium
> vitamin B - 12
> vitamin C
> vitamin E
> glutathione
> Coenzyme Q10


Studies show that antioxidant supplements - glutathione in particular - can improve the quality of the semen and possibly increase your chances of conceiving.


If you smoke, drink, is exposed to radiation, stress, chemical products, pesticides or take medicines or drugs (such as sulfasalazine, ketoconazole, azulfidine, anabolic steroids, marijuana) that affect fertility, consider taking a supplement of antioxidants to reverse some of the damage.


Why are they important antioxidants for sperm quality?


Mammalian sperm are coated by rich in fatty acids poliinsaturados.estos membrane fatty acids are extremely susceptible to oxidative damage from free radicals or species (ROS) reactive oxygen through a process called lipid peroxidation (LPO).


Lipid peroxidation damaged esperma.Se cell membrane believes that the key mechanism of damage induced by ROS sperm and leads to


> motility of sperm loss
> abnormal sperm morphology
> reduced oocyte penetration capacity
> infertility


To protect damage sperm, the body depends on powerful antioxidant in the body such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and Glutathione peroxidase/reductase (GPX/GRD) enzymes.


Seminal plasma and sperm have several antioxidant enzymes - glutathione reductase, Glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase.


Certain amount of all antioxidant enzymes, which can protect sperm oxidative attack, are also made by the epididymis during storage.


The enzyme Glutathione peroxidase/reductase play a central role in the defense against oxidative damage in human sperm.


What is glutathione for fertility and sperm quality important?


A decrease in the levels of reduced Glutathione (GSH) during the production of sperm is known to disrupt the integrity of the membrane of sperm due to increased oxidative stress.


Sperm intracellular glutathione levels are known to be decreased in certain populations of men infértiles.En versus a control group, infertile men in all groups had significantly higher levels of ROS and lower levels of total antioxidants.


There is strong clinical evidence to show that men diagnosed with infertility have high levels of oxidative stress which may impair the quality of your sperm.


In some groups, higher levels of ROS was associated with lower sperm counts and defective sperm cells structure, while lower levels of antioxidants correlated with reduced sperm movement.


Previous tests also showed that oxidative stress can reduce the life expectancy of a sperm, their motility and its ability to penetrate the cell egg or oocyte.


Up to 40% of men with unexplained male infertility have higher levels of radical activity on their bodies.


Since men with high levels of ROS are less likely to diesel induce pregnancy than men with low levels, the researchers recommend that treatment to infertile men should include strategies to reduce oxidative stress and improve the quality of sperm.


How can help glutathione in the treatment of infertility?


Glutathione is not only vital for the antioxidant defenses of sperm, but selenium and Glutathione in spermatids - which becomes a structural protein in the mid-piece of mature sperm enzyme are essential for the formation of "Phospholipid hydroperoxide Glutathione peroxidase".


When any substance is poor, can lead to instability in the mid-piece of sperm, resulting in defective motility.


Scavengers of radical free - such as glutathione - to restore the structure and function of poly-unsaturated acids fatty (PUFA), in the cell membrane, can be used to deal with these cases.


In a cross-over twenty infertile men double-blind study, glutathione treatment led to a statistically significant improvement in the quality of sperm.


The study in question men in whom the sperm quality was poor due to one-sided varicocele or inflammation of genital tract germ - free two conditions that indicate ROS or other toxic compounds as causal factors.


Glutathione treatment was also found to have a statistically significant positive effect on sperm motility (in particular forward motility) and sperm morphology.


The findings of these studies indicate that glutathione therapy could represent a potential therapeutic tool in cases where the ROS or exposure to toxins is the likely cause of infertility.

Arthritis pain relief: questions to ask your health services provider

8:41 PM | , , , , ,

A great place to begin taking charge of you arthritis pain relief and prevention planning is by making an appointment with your healthcare provider and finding out more about your condition and treatment options. Make sure to jot down questions ahead of time, and take them along in your journal or notebook, armed with a pencil to fill in his or her replies. Some questions to begin with may be centered around these:1. Do I have a form of arthritis? If not, what is wrong & what do I do next? 2. If so, which type is it? And what can I expect short-term and long-term? 3. What pain relief treatments are available? Which have side who & what are they? 4. What self-care solutions do you advise? 5.Are there any limitations I should know about; special dietary issues, special activities to avoid, i.e. any OTC meds to NOT mix, etc.? 6 What resources do you have to help with my diet and exercise planning? 7. What other arthritic and other health resources do you have for my family and me? When you take in your questions, also take in a description of your symptoms so that your doctor can help better understand your situation and health.Make sure to note: Where you have pain (same joint both limbs?)

The international bestseller, Blink, Malcolm Gladwell explains how researchers studying mente-lectura using body language and facial expressions found old advice cliché to smile when you feel down really works.Just move the facial muscles in a happier position can really contribution you mentally and emotionally, say the researchers, who are finally beginning to understand and accept the link between the mind and body. Other research has found simply recalling anger episode depresses the immune system for up to seven hours - but an episode of compassion feeling or care improves the immune system to approximately the same amount of happy time.A outlook towards life appears to trigger the release of endorphins. Endorphins relax the cardiovascular system and Cytokines, the alert that immune to provide care in the detection of abnormalities as cells.Even cancer although comprise the physiological own emotions still have not been identified, some researchers suspect that a small portion of the brain called the insular cortex can be the key. The insular cortex regulates the autonomic nervous system that controls the automatic functions of our body, such as breathing the heartbeat and blood pressure. Also plays a role in the higher brain functions and helps process of anger, fear, joy, happiness and sexual arousal.When to the insular cortex is stimulated by long periods of time, you can change the heart rate and blood pressure and cause even a type of damage to the heart muscle that is similar to sudden cardiac death. Its not surprising that sadness, anger and other negative emotions can cause a malfunction of the insular cortex.Whatever then happens in these six inches between your ears, one thing is certain. Optimism, laughter, love and other positive emotions can counteract harms many at any age, even in the early 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and beyond! research has shown that positive attributes such as reliability, confidence, agreeableness, and openness are associated with an increase of two to four years of life expectancy. Let ' s explore some advice for the development of a better perspective on its world.Listen carefully to yourself. If you same downward since childhood, throughout life negative subliminal message can take its toll becoming you a pessimist. Spend a week writing phrases used in his "talk." It is likely that you will find to repeat that a dozen more or less phrases over and over again that reinforce that negative image. If you know of them, you can change elementos.Si that a problem has not been resolved to continue to plague him and will revive the negative emotions linked to that issue again and again. Write a letter of spending about 20 minutes a day for four days and write about what you feel. Forget the grammar, punctuation and so on. No one else will see it, but you and you can throw it when finished. Once you start typing, don't stop until elapsed time. This exercise will help you organize your thoughts and get them out of your system. At the end of the four days most people feel much better about themselves.Seek to new challenges and opportunities. Always have something that is a goal just above the horizon. When you begin to close the gap and reach that objective, establish another and another. Keep in constant motion ahead.Try and make something new each week or month. Visit a Museum, go to the Zoo, go to a signature book or a Conference.

Glutathione - defense Your Brain Master antioxidant

11:11 AM | , , , ,


Free radicals and oxyradicals play an important role in the development and progression of many brain disorders such as brain injury, neurodegenerative disease, schizophrenia and Down syndrome.

Glutathione is the brain's master antioxidant and plays an important protective role in the brain.


According to Dr. Jimmy Gutman, "The brain is particularly susceptible to free radical attack because it generates more oxidative by-products per gram of tissue than any other organ."


Many neurological and psychiatric disease processes are characterized by... abnormalities in glutathione metabolism and antioxidant defenses."


Generation of reactive oxygen species (free radicals) and oxidative damage are an important cause of neuron (brain cell) death from brain injury.


Chemicals that cause toxicity to certain brain cells are known to decrease cerebral glutathione (GSH), making the cells more vulnerable to reactive oxygen species (ROS). (1)


On the other hand, over-expression of the glutathione peroxidase (GPX) enzyme potently decreases cell death from brain injury. (2)


Researchers at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh have found that males and females respond differently to brain injury. (3)


In animal models, levels of glutathione remain constant in females who have suffered a brain injury, but drop by as much as 80 percent in males with the same injury.


When glutathione levels drop, brain cells die much more quickly. This suggests that boys with brain injuries may require different life-saving treatments than girls.


N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), a precursor of glutathione, already approved for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat people who have overdosed on acetaminophen, may be an effective treatment for brain injury in boys whose brains are deprived of oxygen.


Genetics researchers have found that the glutathione S-transferase gene controls the onset of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease and determines, not if we get these diseases, but when. (4)


The glutathione S-transferase gene has previously been linked to the risk for Parkinson's disease among people who used pesticides.


A previous article covered the importance of glutathione in Parkinson's Disease.


Free radicals and oxidative damage in neurons is known to be a primary cause of degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease.


Amyloid-? peptide (A?) accumulation in senile plaques, a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD), has been implicated in neuronal degeneration.


Amyloid plaques encroaching on the brain increase the production of free radicals, or oxidative stress. Antioxidants, such as vitamin C and E "mop up" the damaging free radicals.


Glutathione (GSH) precursors can prevent death of brain cells induced by amyloid plaques in Alzhiemer's disease, while substances that deplete GSH increase cell death. (5)


Evidence has been piling up over the link between the amount of an amino acid called homocysteine in the blood and the chance of developing Alzheimer's.


For people not genetically predisposed to developing Alzheimer's, cholesterol and homocysteine, largely caused by an unhealthy lifestyle, are the core causal factors.


Welsh GP, Andrew McCaddon, showed that the more homocysteine that patients with Alzheimer's had, the worse their mental performance, and the worse their "cognitive impairment," the less they had of the antioxidant glutathione. (6)



Glutathione and Mood Disorders


Studies have found that the mood stabilizing drug, valproate, used to treat epilepsy and bi-polar disorder, regulates expression of the genes that make glutathione-S-transferase (GST).


In addition, chronic treatment with lithium, another commonly prescribed mood stabilizer used in treating manic-depression, also increased levels of GST.


These findings led researchers to conclude that glutathione S-transferase may be a novel target for mood stabilizing drugs. (7)



Alcohol Consumption and Glutathione


Alcohol abuse is known to impair memory and other brain functions and increase brain cell death. A new study in rats has shown that alchol consumption causes fewer new brain cells to form and results in greater cell death. (8)


But rats that were fed alcohol along with Ebselen - a glutathione peroxidase mimic that acts as a free radical scavenger - showed no similar reduction in brain-cell formation and no increase in cell death.



Substances that Boost Glutathione Levels and Protect Brain Cells


Taking glutathione itself as a supplement does not boost cellular glutathione levels, since it breaks down in the digestive tract before it reaches the cells.


However, intravenous glutathione therapy and glutathione precursors or dietary supplements are effective in boosting intracellular levels of glutathione.


Intravenous Glutathione Injections: Intravenous glutathione injections have been shown to produce amazing and rapid results, in patients with Parkinson's disease. Following even a single dosage of intravenous glutathione, many of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease rapidly improve, often in as little as 15 minutes.


Glutathione Precursors: In the Alzheimer's study conducted by Welsh GP, Andrew McCaddon, adding the glutathione precursor, N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) to a protocol that lowered homocysteine levels by simple supplementation with B12 and folate, resulted in prompt, striking, and sustained clinical improvement in nearly all the patients. (9)


Cucurmin (turmeric): Studies have shown that the Indian curry spice, cucurmin, has neuroprotective effects because of its ability to induce the enzyme, hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1), which protects neurons exposed to oxidant stress. Treatment of brain cells called astrocytes, with curcumin, increases expression of HO-1 protein as well as glutathione S-transferase. (10)


Ebselen: Ebselen is a glutathione peroxidase mimic and potent synthetic antioxidant that acts as a neuroprotective agent and an inhibitor of free-radical induced apoptosis (cell death). It can protect brain cells from the neuro-toxic effects of alcohol consumption. (8)


Undenatured Whey Protein: Undenatured whey protein provides glutathione precursors, has been shown to raise intracellular glutathione levels in clinical trials, and has anecdotally been reported to improve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

New findings on the role of glutathione in cancer

5:33 AM | , ,


Cancer cells and normal cells are known to respond differently to nutrients and drugs that affect the State of glutathione.


Numerous studies have shown that the tumor cells have elevated levels of glutathione, which confers resistance to chemotherapy drugs.


One of the challenges of cancer treatment is how exhausted glutathione, tumour cells in order to make them more vulnerable to the effects of chemotherapy drugs while at the same time allowing normal cells to relatively are unaffected by chemotherapy drugs.


A number of new discoveries that take into consideration the role of glutathione in ways that promote programmed cell death (apoptosis) in cancer cells have been.


A German study reported Glutathione (GSH) plays a key role in the cell mechanisms that result in cell death.The study found that apoptosis-resistant cancer cells had higher levels of GSH intracellular.


Depletion of glutathione in these tumor cells makes them more vulnerable to the effects of drugs against cancer gene that promotes apoptosis (CD95 or APO-1/FAS). The researchers concluded that the resistance of apoptosis in tumor cells depends at least in part, intracellular GSH levels.(1)


Another study conducted in Spain, the researchers found that it lowers the concentration of the GSH may be appropriate not only for the effectiveness of chemotherapy, but also lead a fairly quick mechanism and direct apoptosis in tumor cells.(2)


On the premise that expresses the enzyme glutathione-S-transferase in high levels in many tumors, Fox Chase Cancer Center in Pennsylvania, researchers went on to design a novel prodrug (PABA/NO).


Glutathione-s-transferase in tumor cells turns lethal PABA/NO nitric, resulting in the death cell tumor oxide.The prodrug has shown anti-tumor effects in animal model for human ovarian cancer.(3)


The fourth study, Polish researchers found that ingestion of selenium supplementation is beneficial, as an element of support in chemotherapy.(4)


Selenium is a cofactor of the enzyme Glutathione peroxidase GSH-P (x) and was found to greatly increase the activity of GSH-P (x) in patients receiving the supplement.


Previous clinical study by the same investigators recommended selenium in ovarian cancer patients undergoing multidrug chemotherapy.(5)


Another interesting study by researchers at Texas showed that your chances of surviving a type of brain cancer, called primary malignant glioma, could depend on the type of glutathione-s-transferase (GST) gene who were born with.


You have a combination of a two specific variants of GST (germline GSTP1 * A / * A and GSTM1 null genotype) grant an advantage of survival in certain types of brain cancers but also comes with an increased risk of adverse events associated with chemotherapy. (6)


There is compelling evidence to suggest a crucial role for glutathione and Glutathione target in the prevention and treatment of cancer metabolism substances.


Undenatured whey protein is a natural foods that are known to selectively deplete your glutathione, cancer cells making them more susceptible to such cancer radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments.

Results are a change of colour that can last up to approximately seven days.Here here are some tips to not get the most benefit from its protective self-tanners products.Since solar protection outdoors most lotions are of widely, is the best time to use self-tanners overnight to bed.If done previously, allow a minimum of two hours and test for staining before put again in your regular clothes. Use aerosol or products containing extra color formula above at night, or when you have more time for "dry" after applying.1. Choose what you want to use for tanning lines, whether it be a suit in bathroom or underwear. Choose the ropa vieja, especially without nylon and unmissable clothing.2.

The facts about glutathione and Parkinson's disease

8:00 PM | , , , ,


Parkinson disease (PD), a devastating disease occurs in one out of 100 people over age 65.


It is a slowly progressive disease of the nervous system that causes progressive destruction of the cells (neurons) brain in an area of the brain called the substance negra.La death usually occurs as a result of secondary complications such as infection.


One of the mechanisms known to destroy nerve cells is the damage caused by free radicals or reactive species oxygen - destructive molecules produced by the oxidation of the neurotransmitter dopamine.


The role of dopamine


SUBSTANTIA cells use dopamine - a chemical Messenger between brain and nerve cells - to communicate with cells in other region of the brain called the striated.


When nigral cells are lost, dopamine fall nigral, resulting in a decrease of striatal dopamine levels.


Typical symptoms of PD - deficiencies of motor function characterized by muscle rigidity, jerky, rhythmic movements of sleep - tremors are the result of low levels of striatal dopamine.


Most of dopaminergic, which are used to treat the PD, drugs are aimed to temporarily replacement or imitating dopamine.Improve some symptoms, but does not restore the normal function of the brain, or stop the destruction of brain cells.


Dopaminergic drugs are generally effective in the first place to reduce many of the symptoms of PD, but eventually lose its effect.


Also cause serious side effects because overstimulate the nerve cells elsewhere in the body and cause confusion, hallucinations, nausea and fluctuations in the movement of limbs.


The role of antioxidants


When dopaminergic neurons are lost in the course of Parkinson's disease, increases the metabolism of dopamine - which in turn increases the formation of highly neurotoxic hydroxyl radicals.


Radical scavenging free more important in the cells of the black substance is powerful antioxidant brain, glutathione levels of glutathione in PD patients are low.


And as it ages, lowers levels of glutathione in substantia dopaminergic neurons.This seems to accelerate cell death and advance the progression of the PD.


At least 80 percent of substantia cells are lost before the symptoms of Parkinson's disease become aparente.Por that, it is essential to protect or maintain these cells under oxidative stress.


How to help the glutathione in Parkinson's disease?


Several factors explain why the glutathione is so beneficial in Parkinson's disease.


1. The glutathione increases the sensitivity of the brain to dopamina.Por what although glutathione does not raise the levels of dopamine, allows dopamine in the brain to be more effective.


2 Powerful antioxidant activity of glutathione protects brain damage from free radicals.


3. An even more intriguing glutathione benefit lies in its ability of powerful detoxification.


Its a well known fact that most Parkinson's patients are deficient in its ability to detoxify the chemicals they are exposed.


The unfortunate few hosting a hereditary defect in their process of detoxification risk a much greater brain damaging effects of a wide range of toxins.


Glutathione is one of the most important of the h?gado.La detoxification system components glutathione therapy is one of the most effective techniques to improve liver and brain detoxification.


Glutathione treatment significantly improved including difficulties with stiffness Parkinson's symptoms, walking, movement, coordination, and the discurso.Se has noted a marked reduction of tremor, as well as a decrease in depression.


Glutathione and N-n - acetyl-L-cysteine (a precursor to glutathione) have proved to be very effective in protecting nerves in substantia destroyed by oxidative stress.


Therapy of glutathione in Parkinson's disease


The practical problem in increasing levels of glutathione is taking glutathione itself as a supplement increases not cellular, glutathione levels since glutathione decomposes into the digestive tract soon reaches the cells.


However, glutathione intravenous therapy glutathione precursors and bearing are effective in increasing intracellular levels of glutathione.


Intravenous therapy of glutathione:


Glutathione intravenous injections have shown amazing fast results.


Dr. David Perlmutter, a pioneer in this therapy, has developed a protocol used in Perlmutter Health Centre for administering intravenous glutathione for Parkinson's patients.


In the wake of even a single dose of intravenous glutathione - often in just 15 minutes - the ability to walk, turn around and move his arms is almost completely restored.


Glutathione precursor:


Dietary antioxidants and supplements that increase cellular glutathione, such as NAC, alpha lipoic acid pycnogenol grass silymarin (milk thistle), are effective to restore normal function.


N-n - acetyl-cysteine (NAC) and a-denatured, whey protein offers both classic, increase production of glutathione and help the Detox body glutathione precursors.


Other nutritional supplements help detoxification process including selenium, vitamin E and c

7 Ways to the conquest of acne

2:27 PM |


Copyright © 2005 Priya ShahReports show more 90 per cent of all adolescents and nearly 25 percent of all adults who suffer from Acne at some point. Acne affects men and women around the world, regardless of the nationality.The more effective methods to combat acne include a combination of prevention and skincare.Here better are some of the ways that you can use to prevent and treat acne: regular exercise can help combat acne by combat negative stress levels that can come from negative self-esteem and depression. But avoid the use of lycra tight and exercise nylon suits. These synthetic fabrics tend to trap body heat and moisture, creating an ideal environment for bacteria to grow. Clean linen cotton or blends natural loose stick, and save their equipment for sports and teams.
To avoid irritations of the skin and pore obstruction that may contribute to acne, use products with the tag "noncomedogenic" or "oil free". Opt for "hypo-allergenic" perfumes and cosmetics to prevent skin irritation and allergic reactions. Derived from coal, tar cream of carmine and heavy flush can cause facial reactions.Shimmering colors contain a scaly mineral called mica which can cause skin irritations and clog pores.Use a lip gloss with a matte finish to less clogging poro.El brightness, content, then more and more Acne can clog pores.
Studies have shown that you diet does not play a role in the cause or the treatment of acne. However, what is best for your body is best for your skin.Therefore, make sure that getting enough vitamins, minerals and supplements that have been known and recommended for preventing and helping to conquer acné.estos breakouts include: vitamin A or retinol (high doses are toxic) multivitamin vitamin B ComplexVitamin C vitamin-CarnitineZinc A quality brand name probably have the best vitamins and minerals you need to help with acne prevention. Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day and good and healthy dietary food decisions.
Hormones (or lack of them) during the later years - especially for women - can play a role in outbreaks of acne and prevention. A recent study showed that around 50 per cent of women have acne, hormonal acne, problems during the week before their menstruation.Treatment-aka options include topical retinoids, oral antibiotics and teen years benzoyl peroxide. For adult oral contraceptives or hormonal birth control pills and the hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be useful to women, combined with treatments topical or systemic, prescription or over-the-counter products and medications.Avoid harsh scrubbing or over-washing, since this can cause irritation of the skin may or may on oil production to replace what is washed, clogged pores in the process. Use products with ingredients of gentle exfoliation and ignore products that contain alcohol.
Some of the most popular in the market that can prevent acne products include: shaving benzoyl PeroxideProactiv ® SolutionSalicylic AcidRetinoidsAntibioticsOral ContraceptivesAnti-AndrogensIsotretinoin (Accutane) really is an excellent way of exfoliating or remove dead to help to prevent skin and dissemination of acne rather than leaving the remains to clog the pores. And for some cases of acne light already in process, shaving can help rid inflammatory and black points of the face. Do not shave areas are infected or sore. Use a shaving for sensitive skin cream. Shave with a sharp knife. Use soft swipes instead of strong pressure and go with the flow, or "grain".Single-edged blade is better than a double-blade knife.Electric razors not can shave as near of the skin, but help with prevention of acne and other skin breakouts and outbreaks better.Stress includes external and internal stressors.External stressors are those that threaten the ability of your skin to heal, as oily makeup and excess of internal and anxiety, fear, low self-esteem, depression and a range of other emotions internalized, sol.Estresantes can trigger chemical reactions inside of your body that can give rise to outbreaks of acne and other skin irritations.To combat internal stress and prevent acne problems, get plenty of rest and sleep. try to keep the schedules habituales.Tenga hand a checklist of "Stuff You calm" for times stressful, as reading a book, resting, listen to music, taking a walk, leaving an ice cream cone, etc.

Sources of food Boost glutathione Naturally

9:51 AM | , , ,


Glutathione levels not can grow to a clinically beneficial point by oral ingestion of a single dose of glutathione.(1) This is because it is manufactured glutathione inside of the cell, its forerunner, glycine, glutamate, cystine amino acids.


Thus sources of food or supplements that increase glutathione must provide glutathione precursors or improve production by some other means.


The manufacture of glutathione in cells is limited by the levels of its pioneering sulfur-containing amino acid, cysteine.


Cysteine - as free amino - acid is potentially toxic and spontaneously catabolized or destroyed in the gastrointestinal tract and plasma sangu?neo.Sin however, when it is present as a dipeptide cysteine-cysteine, cystine called, is more stable than cysteine.


Consuming foods rich in sulfur-containing amino acids can help boost glutathione levels.Here are some sources of food and dietary supplements to help increase glutathione levels naturally.

N-N - acetyl-cysteine (NAC)

Deriving the amino acid L-cysteine and acts as a precursor to glutathione. NAC is quickly metabolized in glutathione, once enters the cuerpo.Se has shown on numerous scientific studies and clinical trials to promote intracellular glutathione production and is approved by the FDA for the treatment of overdose of accetaminophen. Due to the mucolytic action of glutathione, NAC (Mucomyst brand name) is commonly used in the treatment of lung disease such as cystic fibrosis, bronchitis and asthma.

Silymarin milk thistle

Thistle dairy is a powerful antioxidant and supports the liver to prevent the depletion of glutathione. Silymarin is the active compound of thistle milkman. It is a natural detoxifier liver and protects the liver from many common industry such as carbon tetrachloride and agents toxins such as alcohol.

Alpha Lipoic Acid

Naturally made in the cells of the body as a by-product of energy release, ALA increases levels of glutathione stability, and is a natural antioxidant with free radical scavenging abilities.It has the ability to regenerate oxidized antioxidants such as vitamin C and E and helps to make them more potentes.ALA is also known for its ability to increase the absorption of glucose and may help prevent damage cellular that accompanies the diabetes.También complications has a protective effect on the brain.

Asparagus is a leading source of glutathione. food such as avocado, spinach and Broccoli (2) are also known to increase levels of glutathione. raw eggs, garlic and beef processed fresh contains high levels of sulfur-containing amino acids and helps it to maintain optimal glutathione levels.

Undenatured serum protein isolate

Whey protein contains proteins such as Alpha-lactalbumin, which is rich in amino acids that contain sulfur.Heating or pasteurisation destroys delicate disulfide bonds that give their bioactivity of these proteins.Undenatured whey protein is a product of not heated that he preserves bioactive amino acids as cystine.It has been shown in numerous scientific studies and clinical trials to optimize the levels of glutathione.

Curcumin (turmeric)

Treatment of the cells of the brain called astrocytes, with the spice of Indian curry, Curcumin (turmeric) was found to increase the expression of the glutathione S-transferase and protect nerve cells exposed to oxidant stress.(3)

Balloon Flower root

Found Changkil (CKS) saponins isolated from the roots of Chinese medicinal herbs, Platycodon grandiflorum a. DC (Campanulaceae), commonly called Balloon Flower Root "or" Jie Geng, to increase the content of intracellular Glutathione (GSH) and significantly reduce oxidative damage to the cells of the liver, minimize death and cell lipid peroxidation.(4)

Selenium

Selenium is a cofactor for the enzyme glutathione peroxidasa.Suplementos selenium have become popular as some studies suggest that they may play a role in decreasing the risk of certain cancers and on how the immune system and the role of gland tiroides.Sin however, too much selenium can cause some toxicity including gastrointestinal upset, brittle nails, hair loss and mild neurological damage.

Sources of food to Naturally Boost glutathione

5:16 AM | , , ,

Copyright © 2004 Priya ShahGlutathione, the body ' s master antioxidant and detoxifier, is one of the 14 "Superfoods" listed in SuperFoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life, co-authored by Dr Steven Pratt.Glutathione levels cannot be increased to a clinically beneficial extent by ingesting to single dose of glutathione orally.(1) This is because glutathione is manufactured inside the cell, from its precursor amino acids, glycine, glutamate and cystine.

Executive food sources or supplements that increase glutathione must either provide the precursors of glutathione, or enhance its production by some other means.

The manufacture of glutathione in cells is limited by the levels of its pioneering sulfur-containing amino acid, cysteine.Cysteine - as a free amino acid – is potentially toxic and is spontaneously catabolized or destroyed in the gastrointestinal tract and blood plasma. However, when it is present as a cysteine-cysteine dipeptide, called cystine, it is more stable than cysteine.Consuming foods rich in sulfur-containing amino acids can help boost glutathione levels. Here are some food sources and dietary supplements that help boost glutathione levels naturally.
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC)

It is derived from the amino acid L-Cysteine, and acts as a precursor of glutathione. NAC is quickly metabolized into glutathione eleven it enters the body.It has been proven in numerous scientific studies and clinical trials, to boost intracellular production of glutathione, and is approved by the FDA for treatment of accetaminophen overdose.Because of glutathione ' s action, mucolytic NAC (brand name Mucomyst) is commonly used in the treatment of lung diseases like cystic fibrosis, bronchitis and asthma.

Milk Thistle, Silymarin

Milk thistle is a powerful antioxidant and supports the liver by preventing the depletion of glutathione.Silymarin is the active compound of milk thistle. It is a natural liver detoxifier and protects the liver from many industrial toxins such as carbon tetrachloride, and more common agents like alcohol.

Alpha Lipoic Acid

Made naturally in body cells as a by-product of energy release, ALA increases the levels of intra-cellular glutathione, and is to natural antioxidant with free radical scavenging abilities. It has the ability to regenerate oxidized antioxidants like Vitamin C and E and helps to make them more potent. ALA is also known for its ability to enhance glucose uptake and may help prevent the cellular damage accompanying the complications of diabetes.It also has a protective effect in the brain.

Natural Foods That Boost Glutathione Levels

Asparagus is a leading source of glutathione. Foods like broccoli (2), advocate and spinach are also known to boost glutathione levels.Raw eggs, garlic and fresh unprocessed meats contain high levels of sulfur-containing amino acids and help to maintain optimal glutathione levels.

Undenatured Whey Protein Isolate

W hey protein contains proteins like alpha-lactalbumin which is is rich in sulfur-containing amino acids. Heating or pasteurization destroys the delicate disulphide bonds that give these proteins their bioactivity. Undenatured whey protein is a non-heated product that preserves bioactive amino acids like cystine. It has been shown in numerous scientific studies and clinical trials to optimize glutathione levels.

Curcumin (Turmeric)

Treatment of brain cells called astrocytes, with the Indian curry spice, curcumin (turmeric) has been found to increase expression of the glutathione S - transferase and protect neurons exposed to oxidant stress.(3)

Balloon Flower Root

Changkil saponins (CKS) isolated from the roots of the Chinese herbal medicine, Platycodon grandiflorum a. DC (Campanulaceae), commonly called Balloon Flower Root or Jie Geng, have been found to increase intracellular glutathione (GSH) content and significantly reduces oxidative injury to liver cells, minimise cell death and lipid peroxidation.(4)

Selenium

Selenium is a co-factor for the enzyme glutathione peroxidase.Selenium supplements have become popular because some studies suggest they may play to role in decreasing the risk of certain cancers, and in how the immune system and the thyroid gland function.However, too much selenium can cause some toxic effects including gastrointestinal upset, titled nails, hair loss and mild nerve damage.

Is 90% of its vitamins goes down the toilet?

12:06 AM | ,


If you live in the USA it is likely that you have been exposed to advertising suggesting that 90% of the vitamin tablets that you are taking are going down the toilet. Because these claims are so wide-spread I feel that is appropriate to address the issue of bio-availability and sort out the fact from the fiction.


Is this claim true or not? The answer is not a definitive yes or not because there is no benchmark given in which to base the claim on.I ' ll try to explain.


Supplements are a bit like cars. For example, at one end of the spectrum you may have a Russian Lada built which are cheap, utilitarian and very unreliable (at least they used to be) and cost a few thousand dollars or you may have to Rolls Royce which is the ultimate in luxury motoring and full and will set you back around to half million dollars. There is no comparison between the two vehicles.


The same principle applies to supplements


You can buy cheap supplements at the supermarket and what you get is a product which is manufactured to a price. This means that the cheapest possible ingredients are used as well as the cheapest excipients which bind the ingredients together. To give you an idea of just how big the difference of ingredient costs can be I will quote an example of one nutrient...Beta Carotene.


The overwhelming majority of manufacturers use synthetic beta carotene (even those producing the more expensive brands).The cost of synthetic beta carotene to a manufacturer is around $ 60 per kilo.


However, the 98% natural pure crystalline beta carotene that we use in our Total Balance costs over $ 2,400 per kilo.


The same differences can apply with Vitamin B12 which is generally 3% pure and costs $ 340 per pound versus the 99% pure that we use at $ 12,000 per kg. The differences do not stop at the active ingredient level but can also apply to the excipients as well.Some cheaper excipients bind the ingredients together so well that after swallowing the tablet a large proportion of it passes right through your system and does indeed end up in the toilet.


To make matters worse those ingredients that are released are done so in the stomach and are largely destroyed by your stomach acids.When using these types of cheap supplements as the 'yard stick' the statement of 90% of the supplement ending up down the toilet is indeed true...


But, that is like trying to compare apples with oranges...


The difference between some supplements are as great as the example given earlier about the engine vehicles, not only in the quality of the ingredients used but also the delivery system employed or in most cases the lack of it.When I am talking about a delivery system I am referring to how the active ingredients get into your blood stream where they are needed to do their work.


There are only four effective ways in which nutrients can get into your blood stream.


1 By injection.


2 Through the mucous membranes of the mouth. (Only some nutrients)


3 Via the lining of the walls of the upper intestine.(female/54).


4 Via the lining of the walls of the colon.


The methods which are used are as follows:


1 Injection with a hypodermic syringe... practical only via to physician or clinic. B12 injections for example.


2 Through the mucous membranes of the mouth by a sublingual tablet or liquid.Note: This has limitations because many nutrients cannot be absorbed through these membranes.(However, for those ingredients that can be absorbed it is a very good method which is why we use it for our male and female sex rejuvenator products.)


3 Via the lining of the walls of the upper intestine.(female/54).This is how our Total Balance is defined through the use of a special delivery system within the excipients.


4 Via the lining of the colon walls using suppositories which are prescription items and do not apply to supplements.


Sadly the overwhelming majority of supplements do not have any 'delivery' system.They are simply made into a tablet or capsule and if they dissolve within a reasonable time in water that ' s OK... but, because of this solubility the majority of the active ingredients are destroyed by the stomach acids.As a result only about 10-15% of the active ingredients actually get into the blood stream.


This number is what is considered to be the bio-availability of the product is quite standard for average supplements as percentage. In comparison the bio-availability of our balance sheet total is around 80%.


Why don ' t all supplements have higher bio-availability?


This can be summed up in two words... cost and know-how.It is surprising how few supplement companies have the technical know-how to incorporate effective delivery systems into their products.And, often the will to spend the extra money in production costs.


OK, so you may now be thinking to yourself... what about these companies that are 'knocking' ordinary supplements... are their products as bio-available as they claim?


The short answer is NO!I ' ll expand on this:


The companies that are making these claims are generally those that are selling liquid supplements.Sublingual Not liquids because as I mentioned earlier that is not practical for many nutrients and certainly not for a general health supplement.The liquid products that are being sold are taken by drinking straight or mixing with water.Many of the companies selling these products are multi level marketing companies and rely more on hype than good science to sell their products.


So, what happens when you drink these products?


Very simply the greatest bulk of the nutrients are destroyed by the stomach acids which mean that the bio-availability of these liquids is not greater than an ordinary capsule which dissolves quickly in the stomach.Granted there are no tablet remains to pass through your digestive system intact but the greatest percentage of the active ingredients of the liquids are destroyed in the stomach.


Unfortunately these companies take advantage of the fact that people do not understand the principles behind the bio-availability and as such can manipulate their presentation to make it appear that the efficacy of their product is much higher than it is in reality.


Just a final comment on these liquid products!Many of them are very weak.If you are currently using them or considering doing so, make sure you find out the amount of ACTIVE ingredient per dose and what the ingredients are.As a consumer you are entitled to know that, so ask for it and if you don ' t get the information you can be sure that the potency is very low and you should avoid it as your money is better spent elsewhere.Some of these products are little more than water with a few nutrients thrown in.

Glutathione for a healthy pregnancy

7:02 PM | , ,


Innate parents all the dream of a healthy pregnancy and baby.


But the modern environment and diet is deficient in many factors essential to the health of the mother and fetus. One such factor is antioxidant.


The role of antioxidants as folic acid in the prevention of spina bifida and cleft palate birth defects is well known.Now included in all pre-natal vitamin supplements.


But often overlooked the role of antioxidants such as glutathione and vitamin E in pregnancy.


Glutathione is master antioxidant the cuerpo.Ayuda regenerating stores other antioxidants such as vitamin C and e.


It also protects the mother and the fetus from the harmful effects of free radicals and oxidative stress.


Many of the complications of pregnancy and birth defects have been linked oxidative stress, free radicals damage and levels lower glutathione in the mother and fetus.


Lifestyle and environmental factors are known to cause oxidative stress and lower levels of glutathione - resulting in miscarriage in pregnancy, abortion, and birth defects.


Some of the known (causing birth defects) teratogenic in pregnancy include:


or radiation
or pesticides and pollutants POPs)
or air pollution
or heavy metals (mercury, cadmium, arsenic)
or vinyl chloride
or Acryonitrile
or excess oxygen (hyperoxia)
or Anti-psychotic and antiepileptic drugs (AEDs)
or thalidomide
or the cigarette smoke
consumption of alcohol (ethanol)


Maternal health increase free radicals and causing birth defects factors include:


or diabetes
or Pre-eclampsia
or infection and inflammation


Numerous studies have shown Glutathione (GSH), vitamin C and E are crucial in the development and growth of the fetus, maintenance of a healthy pregnancy - and even before pregnancy, fertility and conception.


Glutathione and other antioxidants attenuate oxidative stress in pregnant women with inflammation or maternal conditions like diabetes and pre-eclampsia and babies at risk for cystic fibrosis.


Glutathione precursors and antioxidant supplementation may reduce the incidence of birth defects and protect maternal and fetal harmful and possibly fatal consequences of pregnancy complications.


Glutathione (GSH) also prevents or minimizes stress oxidative that occurs during the process of birth and employment.


Perinatal or birth asphyxia/hypoxia (deprivation of oxygen supply to the brain) in preterm birth and labour can lead to cerebral palsy, syndrome, respiratory distress, irreversible brain damage and permanent neurological impairments and intellectual.


Administration of the precursor to glutathione, N-N - acetyl-cysteine (NAC), the mother pregnant partially prevents oxidative stress during birth in preterm infants.


Currently, the American College of obstetrics and gynaecology informs all pregnant women to take a prenatal vitamin containing antioxidants.


In addition, advise to eat as many fruits and fresh vegetables, the best sources of antioxidant protection.


Read a detailed references on the role of glutathione in pregnancy.
