Important Nutrient Diet

November 17, 2017 By Nemira Leave a Comment

Important Nutrient Diet

Nutrients from diet give the body energy, building substances, and tools to protect from invaders. An important nutrient diet is a diet that is full of essential nutrients. Without the proper nutrients, the body would starve, would be sluggish, and not be able to function at its full potential.

The Western diet is full of processed and missing substances. Sugar, heated oils, white flour, meat with antibiotics, and the lack of vegetables, minerals, proteins, and vitamins throw the body out the balance.

We see results in the street or on airplanes when people cannot fit in the seat.

We May Miss These Nutrients In Our Diet


Individuals who consume a typical American diet can miss these vital nutrients:

  Calcium


I read that calcium is abundant in a modern diet. However, we do not get calcium from authentic sources such as almonds, bok choy, canned salmon with bones, broccoli rabe, broccoli, white beans, and tofu. Most of us choose fast food such as pizza or hamburgers, where calcium does not absorb efficiently.

We get a full array of vitamins, enzymes, and fibers by eating calcium-rich vegetables. Processed calcium does not bring any good to the body because it is in a synthetic form, not as Nature created.

Fiber


Fiber comes from raw food or is slightly cooked. The body benefits from fiber because it stimulates the immune system, lowers blood pressure, helps lose weight, helps move bowels, and fights inflammation.

Good sources of fibers are legume, nuts, whole grains, seeds, fruits, and vegetables. It is recommended to get at least 20 to 30 grams of fiber daily.

 Magnesium


Over eighty percent of American people are deficient in magnesium. It means plenty of problems with the nervous system, heart, muscle, energy production, and body metabolism. Over sixty-five conditions require magnesium.

Why do we not get enough magnesium from food? The soil is depleted. Farmers do not mineralize it. Plants and animals do not get magnesium from the land. The human being who stands at the end of a chain is left without vital minerals, not just magnesium.

 Potassium


Potassium is a missing nutrient in the diet of Americans. Only 2 percent get the required dosage of potassium: 4700 mg per day.

Bananas, leafy greens, potatoes, legumes, and salmon are rich in potassium.

  Vitamin B 12


Vitamin B12 diminishes with age. People can sense fatigue, anemia, loss of appetite, constipation, and weight loss.

Excellent sources of vitamin B12 are fish, beef, cheese, milk, eggs, and yogurt.

 Conclusion


The Western diet is poorly equipped with nutrients such as enzymes, vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fiber. It means that individuals will experience the consequences of deficiencies. Do we need to wait for it?

It is better to find the right prevention tools and use them to protect the most precious assets: health and peace of mind.

You can read more about supplementation here. We do not get nutrients from food. What we get is only a part of the whole balanced diet. We need to give all the essential nutrients to the body. It is possible with the help of dietary supplements.

What Is Inflammation In The Body?

November 12, 2017 By Nemira Leave a Comment

What is inflammation in the body? Inflammation is a common root of many chronic diseases. Oxidative stress influences the beginnings of inflammation.

 Types of Inflammation 


Types of inflammation are:

  • Normal inflammation
  • Abnormal inflammation

   Normal Inflammation 


Healthy inflammation occurs when the body’s healing system reacts to a localized attack or injury. The process happens in one area. It starts here, is maintained, and is finished with healing here.

Inflammation could happen when a sudden injury to the skin from impact or burn affects a particular area.

Some changes occur together one by one. The heat and redness show the influx of blood to the affected area. The swelling happens because small blood vessels allow plasma to go to tissues. The pain follows. The immune system participates in the healing process. It takes time, but the inflammation disappears when the problem resolves. We can be disappointed when we have pain and redness or swelling. Fortunately, it takes a short time and a restricted area of inflammation.

  Abnormal Inflammation 


Abnormal inflammation differs in space and time. When healthy inflammation starts in one place and ends simultaneously, abnormal inflammation can attack the whole body.

What is worst is that inflammation lets the immune system attack all cells. These powerful immune killer cells go after affected cells and healthy ones.

How Do They Work These Killers Cells?


The immune system has the best army in the world.  Immune cells have different tasks in the body and act according to the situation. Some enzymes could destroy cell walls and digest the vital components of cells and tissues.

Usually, when healthy inflammation occurs, the body able to control the process. It deals with the consequences of impact or invasion in one place. When healing ends, the body stops the control over the inflammation process because there is no need to take care of it.

 What Is Wrong With Abnormal Inflammation?


The body does not control the abnormal inflammation. It spreads over all tissues and does not quit easily. The immune system participates in healing. Unfortunately, it could lead to autoimmune disorders when it does not get the command from the body on what to target and when to stop.

 What Does It Mean?


Autoimmune disorders occur when the immune system attacks cells without a difference. Sick or healthy cells suffer from powerful killer cells. It can lead to:

  •  Discomfort
  •  Disability
  •  Failure of organs
  •  Irreparable damage to essential structures

For example,  type I diabetes is autoimmune from the start:

  •   The immune system starts abnormal attack triggered by unknown cause
  •  The beginning is early in life
  • Insulin-producing cells in pancreas  destroyed

Rheumatic fever, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus are autoimmune disorders.

 What Does Trigger Autoimmune Reactions?


There are some origins, such as:

  •  Infection
  •  Toxic injury
  •  Stress
  •  Environmental issues such as air, water, food pollution

 New Findings  Are Of Causes Of Disorders


Dr. Andrew Weil states that doctors have a consensus about the triggers of some diseases.  Asthma, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer’s, ALS, and Parkinson’s disease have components of abnormal inflammation.

Irritable bowel syndrome(IBS) can start from microinflammation. It can be seen just with a microscope examining damage to the GI tract tissue.

Previously, other triggers were to blame. For example, cholesterol was responsible for atherosclerosis. Now doctors think that the damage was done at first by inflammation. Later on, cholesterol deposits can be a response to protect damaged areas covering defects.

First, abnormal inflammation occurs. Second, the body attempts to heal affected areas.

  Regulation of Inflammatory Process


Before digging into this inflammation topic, I thought hormones are primarily for growth and fertility. Nope. Hormones take a respectable place in our body’s metabolism.

 What Does Control Mechanisms of Inflammation?


Prostaglandins and leukotrienes were responsible for the control of the inflammation process. Hormones work synergetically. Imagine a swinging pendulum. When you do not move it, the swing stays in one place. The balance was achieved.  Hormones work in the same way in the body. They interact and make sure what processes would not go wild.

Some of the hormones increase inflammatory activity; some of them dampen it. These hormones must be in equilibrium.

Interestingly, the same hormones which increase inflammation can trigger cells to proliferate. Other hormones that decrease inflammation can cease the abnormous division of cells.

What Does It Mean?


It means that disrupted balance in the hormonal activity can trigger inflammation and lead to nasty diseases.

 Is Here An Escape From This Misery?


Yes, it is. Education is the first thing that would help us make the right choices. Second, a fit lifestyle is a way to avoid significant problems and consequences from it.

Do you see a connection here?

According to Dr. Andrew Weil:

 food choices we make can determine whether we are in a pro-inflammatory state or an anti-inflammatory one.

Hormones are prostaglandins and leukotrienes synthesized in the body.  The body uses polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), essential nutrients. We do not make these vital nutrients. We must get them from food.

There two types of PUFAs:

  • Omega-3 fatty acids
  • Omega-6 fatty acids

The demand for these fatty acids is a constant and vital one.

Hormones made from omega-6 acids intensify inflammation, and hormones produced from omega-3 fatty acids downregulate it.

  Sources  Of Fatty Acids


Omega-6 fatty acids come from the fat of grass-fed animals, oil-rich seeds, and vegetable oils extracted from them.

Omega-3 fatty acids found in :

  • Leafy greens
  • Walnuts
  • Flax seeds
  • Hemp
  • Soy oils
  • Canola oils
  • Sea vegetables
  • Salmon
  • Sardines
  • Herring
  • Mackerel
  • Black Cod
  • Bluefish
  • Fat from grass-fed animals

Nutritionists think that the balance between the consumption of omega-6 and omega-3 was stable in the past. When processed food takes over, especially in Western countries, this balance is disrupted.

You know about the fattening of animals and birds with hormones and antibiotics, keeping them in confined places. Vegetable oils heated. Snack foods provide omega-6 fatty acids. There is no place for omega-3. So what, you would ask?

Omega-3 fatty acids dampen inflammation. Period. If you do not get enough of these acids, your body cannot produce the right hormones that regulate inflammation. Do you see how it goes? It is a chain reaction. One thing leads to another.

Processed food disrupts the balance of hormones. It leads to inflammation. Inflammation is the root of diseases. No fun? Yes, I agree.

Again, there are words from Dr.Andrew Weil:

 In a nutshell: you can reduce the risks of abnormal inflammation and diseases associated with it and shift your body from a pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory state by increasing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids, decreasing your intake of omega-6 fatty acids, and excluding from your diet the kinds of fat known to promote inflammation.

 Are Fats Only To Blame For Inflammation?


I am sorry, but carbohydrates are responsible for inflammation too.

The chemical reaction’s name is glycation, when proteins and sugar react. Glycation produces pro-inflammatory compounds. They are called advanced glycation end products (AGEs).

For me, it correlates with aging. AGEs promote inflammation through the deformation of proteins, cross-linking them.

The glycation could be measured. Doctors check blood levels looking for hemoglobin AIC. It is a form of glycated hemoglobin.

To know the numbers of glycation is essential. This process affects proteins and generates AGEs.

 Do We Need To Be Afraid Of Glycation?

Typically people have low levels because the body’s defense mechanisms protect us.

How To Choose Wisely Carbohydrate Sources?


Learn about the glycemic index and glycemic load

  • Eat foods with a low glycemic index and glycemic load. Change snack foods with whole grains, beans, sweet potatoes, and other vegetables. Eat more temperate fruits compared with tropical fruits such as pineapple, mango, or papaya.
  • Consume less processed food
  • Avoid fast food
  • Eat fewer products made with flour of any kind
  • Skip products made with high -fructose syrup.

 Conclusion


Healthy inflammation benefits the body. At the time of impact, the body pulls all helpers and starts to take care of the confined area at a particular time. When consequences of injury or invasion are removed, inflammation disappears.

Abnormal inflammation occurs when the body can not control the immune system, and defense mechanisms start to attack its cells.

The quality and origin of diet have a strong influence on inflammation evolution.  Watching the menu and changing lifestyles could enormously impact the quality of our lives.

If you have questions or would like to leave a comment, I would be glad to answer it.

Are Best Antioxidant Supplements?

November 10, 2017 By Nemira Leave a Comment

Are Best Antioxidant Supplements

Are the best antioxidant supplements on the market? Yes, doctors recommend antioxidants as the prevention against free radicals avoiding sudden aging and deterioration of body systems. Some of the antioxidants come with diet.

Before talking about antioxidants, it would be good to start with oxidation.

 What Is the Heck the Oxidation?


You know that atoms or molecules have electrons that spin in orbit around the nucleus. It is a natural process. Unfortunately, some agents such as oxygen or chlorine can strip an electron from the atom. These molecules or atoms become defective and useless. Cells die and vanish. It is the reason why aging occurs. It does not matter what it is: the human or metal.

You see how iron rusts. It does not take a long time to turn metal into corroded metal.

Oxidative stress happens when natural and artificial radiation affects cells. Free radicals begin to form when electrons are stripped from atoms. These free electrons search for prey because they cannot be unattached. They bombard new molecules taking the next particle. This process starts the chain reaction. Without defense systems such as antioxidants, the body would suffer intensely.

  Antioxidants: What Is It?


Nature has natural defense mechanisms against oxidation. Photosynthesis is one of the protective ways. However, it counts just for plants. How about humans?

We are lucky that we have these barriers:

  •  Physical barriers which contain free radicals in their places of production within cells
  •   Enzymes which neutralize reactive oxygen species(ROS)
  •   Substances from the diet such as vitamins C and E. These vitamins can donate electrons to free radicals, stopping them from harming cells.
  •  Repair mechanisms which help fix  damage from the oxidation  of DNA, proteins, and membranes
  •  Master control genes which are activated when the body is in need.

Antioxidants help the body to repair and detoxify after attacks of free radicals. The speed of metabolism plays a role in the number of free radicals and oxidative stress. When slow metabolism, the slow is the production of free radicals.

We can help ourselves take an appropriate diet full of antioxidants such as enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients.

 The Best Antioxidant Supplements


The market is full of claims that this or this supplement will make miracles. I prefer advice from scientists and doctors. Let’s check out what do they offer for us :

  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin E
  • Beta-carotene
  • Green tea extracts
  • Curcumin
  • Pycnogenol
  • Indole-3-carbinol (I-3-C)
  • Juvenon
  • Co-Q-10 (coenzyme Q or ubiquinone)
  • Alpha-lipoic acid
  • Resveratrol

These antioxidants are supported by science and used to protect from free radicals and oxidative stress.

Okay, let’s start to check closer to these antioxidant supplements.

 Vitamin C


What does vitamin C?

  •  Strengthens blood vessels
  •  Helps heal wounds
  •  Increases resistance to invaders
  •  Helps maintain production of collagen
  • Aids for healthy gums

Vitamin C is famous and is praised as an effective antioxidant. Unfortunately, our bodies do not produce vitamin C. We must get it from the diet. However, how much vegetables and fruits can you consume during the day? Vitamin C supplements would solve this problem.

There is some of history about vitamin C. The scientist, who discovered vitamin C and got the Nobel prize, was Albert Szent Gyorgii. He finds out that ascorbic acid or vitamin C does not have the same active properties when it is stripped to the one formula. Proteins, enzymes, and minerals surround ascorbic acid in nature. Think about citrus fruit. You do not consume just ascorbic acid. You eat the whole fruit which is full of various nutrients. This composition gives us benefits.

Unfortunately, the discovery of Albert Szent was adopted by companies. They started to produce vitamin C synthetically. The difference between vitamin C from whole food and synthesized vitamin C is enormous.

Decide for yourself. Pharma companies use hydrogenated corn sugar, usually from GMO plants, affected with acetone. As I know, acetone is used for the removal of nail polish.

The company Grown By Nature produces vitamin C from organic citrus fruit concentrate.

Do you see a difference? Organic components are friendly to our bodies. Chemicals are chemicals, nothing more.

 Vitamin E


What does vitamin E?

  •  Protects red cells from oxidation
  •  Participates in the immune system
  •  Protects cell membranes from free radicals

Vitamin E does stop the attack on reactive oxygen species. Without protection, oxygen could go inside the cell through membrane or fat. You would ask what is about fat? Lipid molecules react with reactive lipid radicals to form stable products.

Interestingly, vitamin E has many forms. Vitamin E belongs to a group of compounds. They include both tocopherols and tocotrienols.

Dr. Andrew Weil recommends the dose of vitamin E to be 80 to 160 milligrams of the whole complex.

Vitamin E must consist of tocopherols and tocotrienols because it provides the benefits from Nature. In nature, you can find the complex of vitamin E. It includes eight molecules: alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta tocotrienols.

 Beta- Carotene


Beta-carotene is a precursor for vitamin A. However, it is not advisable to use it alone because it can work as a pro-oxidant and increase cancer risks for some people, such as smokers and ex-smokers.

Beta-carotene must be in the multivitamin of high quality together with alpha-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin, lycopene, and others.

 Green Tea Extracts


Green tea is known thousands of years ago. It originated in China but now green tea spread in the whole world. Asia produces green tea too.

Are Best Antioxidants Supplements?

Green tea contains phytochemicals. They consist of polyphenols and caffeine.

Polyphenols contain:

  • Epigallocatechin gallate ( EGCG)
  • Epicatechin gallate
  • Epicatechins
  • Flavanols

These constituents act as antioxidants, anticarcinogens, anti-inflammatory, and anti-radiation agents.

Green tea contains flavonoids. They are:

  • Kaempferol
  • Quercetin
  • Myricetin

Active ingredients in green tea act as antioxidants.

 Curcumin


Curcumin is the main constituent of turmeric in the ginger family. It is widely used in Asia kitchen but now starting with Timothy Ferris morning habits continents enjoy benefits of turmeric tea and turmeric supplements.

Turmeric has a beneficial effect on Alzheimer’s. Individuals who live in rural India have one of the lowest rates of this disease globally.

When looking for turmeric supplements, pick organic because fresh products without chemicals work best.

 Pycnogenol


Pycnogenol is the product of the bark of the pine tree. It is a French maritime pine bark extract. Pycnogenol is a combination of natural and robust antioxidants.

Pycnogenol contains active bioflavonoids. According to manufacturers, Pycnogenol fights free radicals, which are a reason for deterioration and aging.

Bioflavonoids help the immune system stay strong.

 Indole-3-carbinol


Indole-3- carbinol or I-3-C  is found in cabbage family vegetables. I-3-C is a phytonutrient. This antioxidant can help reduce breast cancer risk. It happens by influencing estrogen metabolism.

Cabbages, kale, or Brussels sprouts are tasty. However, it is better to take supplements. We can not eat so many vegetables and get the required amount of I-3-C to prevent cancer.

Supplements from health stores can help solve it. Dr. Andrew Weil recommends I-3-C for women to use as a dietary supplement.

  Juvenon


     Juvenon is a product created by Bruce Ames, a professor of biochemistry and microbiology at the University of California, Berkeley. He is an expert on the causes and prevention of cancer.

Bruce Ames discovered that rats fed with dietary supplements such as alpha-lipoic acid(ALA) and acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) become energetic, and their brain functioned better. Rats looked like young animals.

You would think that the fountain of youth was discovered? Who knows, but Bruce Ames established his company, and the product is called Juvenon.

The secret is in the enzymes which help mitochondria produce energy. Besides it, it decreases insulin resistance and helps to deal with complications of diabetes, such as peripheral neuropathy.

 Co-Q-10


The body produces coenzyme Q. It acts as an antioxidant and can increase oxygen usage at the cellular level.

Coenzyme Q increases the function of heart muscle cells.

Dr. Andrew Weil recommends it for cancer, diabetes, and gum disease patients. Sixty milligrams per day of the newest coenzyme Q is the recommended dose from Dr. Andrew Weil.

Caution: when you look for the supplement, you need to see how much active ingredient is in it. Bioavailability is essential because when the active ingredient is absorbed by 99 percent, we get most of the benefits.

I would compare it with juice. Would you like to have a glass of 100 percent orange juice or diluted with water and full of artificial sugar?

  Alpha-lipoic Acid


Alpha-lipoic acid has few benefits. It helps:

  •  Decrease insulin resistance
  •  Increase the body’s antioxidant defenses

Individuals can benefit from alpha-lipoic acid if they complain about metabolic syndromes such as HDL cholesterol, the tendency to get fat around the abdomen area, or high blood pressure.

ALA is a dietary supplement. Starting from 100 milligrams a day and taking up to 400 milligrams a day is recommended dose by Dr. Andrew Weil.

 Resveratrol


Resveratrol is a natural antioxidant found in the skin of grapes. Researchers found out that grapes produced more resveratrol when they grow under stressful conditions. Cold, rain, lack of nutrients, attacks of fungi create an unpleasant environment for grapes. Luckily, grapes survive and have significant amounts of resveratrol in their skins.

Researchers discovered a gene called daf-2. This gene seems to be a master regulator of many other genes which deal with metabolism and defense.

Later on, the gene called sir-2, which mediates the response to restrictions of calories, was discovered.  When living beings eat less, they live longer and have increased body defense. Scientists looked for a substance that could activate gene sir-2 without starvation. This material is resveratrol, the component from grape skins in the red wine. Resveratrol was responsible for the health benefits of red wine.

 My recommended antioxidants:

  • Vitamin C: www.grownbynature.com.
  • Vitamin E: www.grownbynature.com
  • Beta-carotene: from Solaray
  • Green tea extracts: from True Veda
  • Curcumin: from True Veda
  • Pycnogenol: from Horphag Research
  • Indole-3-carbinol: by Thorne Research
  • Juvenon: by Juvenon
  • Coenzyme Q: by www.grownbynature.com
  • Alpha-lipoic -acid: by Now
  • Resveratrol: by Now

   Conclusion


Antioxidants play a role in our well-being. Being healthy is not a privilege; it is a necessity. We must be robust to enjoy life, help others, and create a better environment for ourselves and our children.

Antioxidants do not harm. They protect us from toxins, pollution, stress, and invaders such as bacteria. The immune system does not mind if we help her deal with the burden of civilization, such as radiation, inadequate nutrition, and stress.

Taking antioxidants for our wellbeing will provide the body with nutrients vital for the metabolism, defense, and immune systems.

Why Are Organic Products The Best Choice?

November 4, 2017 By Nemira Leave a Comment

Why are organic products the best choice? Organic products have more nutrients than products containing chemicals, preservatives, antibiotics, and heavy metals.

You would scratch your head and would tell that your grandparents lived till 90 or 100. They did pretty well because they were agile, skinny, and busy until the end.

It is a different deal. Why? Generations before us lived in a cleaner environment, ate nutritious food. Farmers grew production without many chemicals as nowadays. Chemicals penetrate soil from spraying it using airplanes and machines. Nobody walks with a bucket of the horse manure to help strawberries grow delicious berries.

I was shocked when I saw that strawberries are cut with the knife. These berries do not melt in the mouth when they come from farms. Did you pay attention that you must wash fruits before using?

It is the same as on cigarettes package: general surgeon warns about the danger of smoking. It is the same with production, which is infested with antibiotics and various chemicals.

 Artificial Ingredients in Food


You see that soda drinks, candies, or cakes are colorful. Do you think that these dyes are natural? Nope. For example, there are aniline dyes.

  • Amaranth (red)
  • Bordeaux(brown)
  • Orange I (yellow)
  • Guinea Green (dark green)
  • Naphthol (yellow)
  • Tartrazine (yellow)

These artificial colors derived from compounding various chemicals. For example, guinea green becomes a dye when chloroform reacts with benzene and aluminum chloride.

What is it, benzene? Benzene is from the distillation of coal. Motor fuel, the solvent for resins, rubber contains benzene. Are you the machine?

Chloroform puts people to sleep. Unfortunately, it triggers gastroenteritis.

Aluminum chloride is produced from heating aluminum with chlorine. Oil refineries used it for cracking oils. The usage of aluminum is dangerous because it correlates with Alzheimer’s disease, loss of energy, skin problems, constipation, and nausea.

I wonder who needs aluminum in their food? Unfortunately, you will not find answers on the packaged food and drinks. It tastes good, smells nice.

  Artificial Flavors


There are some of the artificial flavors.

  •  Caramel
  •  Citric Acid
  •  Cochineal
  •  Coca
  •  Cola
  •  Corn Starch
  •  Corn Syrup
  •  Dextrose
  •  Glucose
  •  Potassium Chloride
  •  Potassium Phosphate
  •  Sodium Citrate
  •  Saccharin
  •  Sodium Phosphate
  •  Salt
  •  Sugar

What do you think where these substances in products go? They spread in your body, making the impact on you. Do you need these chemicals? Do they protect you? One good reason that I see that we can be better preserved after end and stay like mummies from Egypt forever and ever.

 Why  Are Chemicals Not The Best Choice?


First, chemicals are unnatural to a body. We do not need heavy metals, preservatives, and antibiotics. A great show was on the Public Radio  Fresh Air show when  Maryn McKenna, the author of the book             Big Chicken: The Improbable Story How  Antibiotics Created Modern Farming,  presented her findings of the usage of antibiotics in the poultry industry.

Plenty of dangers are lurking in the chicken meat. One of them is the resistance to antibiotics. You heard about the struggle in hospitals when medical personnel fight with bacteria. Unfortunately, stronger brands of harmful bacteria come out and show us who is here a host.

Plenty of people go to heaven because these bacteria force them to give up. Antibiotics do not help survive.

You would ask why? I can understand you because antibiotics suppose to fight harmful bacteria and virus, kick them out from invaded territories. Sorry, it is not a case. Antibiotics do harm everything because they kill good bacteria in the intestine. Consequences are not pleasant. The body becomes resistant to antibiotics too.

The microbiome is the second brain, according to scientists. I agree with them because when I feast on chocolate, I crave more and cannot think clearly. That is too much, is too much.

Chocolate is not antibiotics but the sugary thing which spoils terrible bacteria and gives lousy life for the friendly community of bacteria.

Can you see where do I go with my rant about chocolate and chemicals? I want to show you that organic food cannot harm you as conventional food does.

  Take Care of Organic Food


Usually, organic food is clean of additives, preservatives, fillers. It is non-GMO. It means that animals and plants give you food in the same form as Nature created them.

There exist some dangers, such as preparation and handling of material. However, the primary source of organic food is good because it is free of chemicals.

Ways to Contaminate Organic Food


You would ask, what do I mean about handling and preparation of organic food?

For example, you bought from the farmers market fresh vegetables. You wash them with water from the tap. Most of the city water is contaminated with fluoride, antibiotics, heavy metals, and so on. You see that traces of chemicals will be on your plate. Sometimes people use a cutting board which was used for raw meat.

It is the same with meat. Wrong temperature, tools used to cut fish or cheese, later applied for chicken or visa versus, can trigger contamination.

Luckily we can learn how to handle food. However, we can not influence that is inside packaged food. It is one way how to escape this misery. It is a way to be informed and conscious of various choices.

 Benefits of Organic Food


  • Organic food has more minerals, vitamins, enzymes compared with processed food.
  • Organic food is free of chemicals, preservatives, and fillers.
  • Organic food replenishes, balances and fulfill the body with vital nutrients
  • Organic food does not harm
  • Organic food gives energy
  • Organic food helps stay fit without gaining weight

   Conclusion 


Organic food is the best choice to prevent disorders. Consuming food free of chemicals gives the body support and building materials for metabolism. The immune system can better protect us from various invaders. We do not have chemicals inside.

Organic food is the best choice for those who won’t feel well and lead meaningful lives.

What do you think about? I would be glad to answer your questions and hear your thoughts about organic food. Do you have something more on your mind? Spill out. It will leave space for other ideas.

Best Brands of Spirulina

September 24, 2017 By Nemira 2 Comments

Best Brands of Spirulina

The best Spirulina brands are those that use organic, low-temperature processed algae. Spirulina is a blue-green alga rich with nutrients,  which brings enormous benefits. Everybody who consumes Spirulina as a food supplement gets a tray of proteins, vitamins, minerals, pigments, enzymes, and amino acids.

The Process of Preparation of Spirulina Biomass


The biomass of Spirulina is gathered from the pond whenever algae grow enough to pick it. The light and temperature are essential to the quality of algae.

The process of harvest consists of

  • The culture transferred with a pump through PVC pipes
  • The Spirulina goes to the dedicated building
  • Here algae passed through a series of stainless-steel screens
  • Spirulina is rinsed and concentrated on the biomass
  • The filtrate left from the last filtration of algae is transferred back to the pond

Drying and Packaging of Spirulina


Spirulina is gathered from pounds. For example, the production facility Earthrise picks up to 3 metric tons of green-blue algae. Imagine what it could be if these algae would stay longer at the hot temperature without proper drying?

Drying


The economical solution to dry Spirulina is with the spray dryer. A freeze dryer would ensure better quality, but costs would rise immediately.

Spirulina droplets go to the drying room, where water evaporates fast enough without harming algae constituents.

The quick spray drying method guarantees that nutrients in Spirulina remain intact. There is no place for bacteria and molds.

Packaging


The dry powder is weighed and sealed using the vacuum to ensure the quality of Spirulina. Oxygen-barrier bags are used to provide the activity of nutrients. Containers are placed in cardboard boxes and fixed with tape. Labels on bags show the packaging time, weight, and lot numbers.

Safety measures are taken for the biochemical composition to ensure cross-contamination. These bags can stay up to four years without change.

The Assurance of Safety


All operations, such as receiving of biomass, inspection, packaging, segregation, preparation, process, and product storage, are conducted according to safety rules and sanitation principles.

The quality director is responsible for approving and rejecting raw materials, packaging materials, and final products. Laboratories are used for testing the quality of Spirulina.

The consistent quality of Spirulina is ensured by chemical and physical analysis of algae powder. The excellent management of operations, documented and revised, ensures the product’s quality, composition, and safety.

Best Brands of Spirulina 


The best Spirulina brands are organic and produced using ethical manufacturing practices(cGMPs). These practices are promulgated under the United States Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. These laws ensure that methods and controls at facilities used for manufacturing Spirulina are safe for consumption. Spirulina is prepared and packaged under strict sanitary conditions.

The best brands of Spirulina are from Now Foods, OMG!, Earthrise, Nutrex Hawaii. These brands are organic, non-GMO, and certified using labs.

Do you have a favorite brand of Spirulina? It would be great to hear from you. If you are interested in voicing your opinion, please comment below.

Why Nutrition Is Important to Health?

July 16, 2017 By Nemira Leave a Comment

Why is nutrition essential to health? There are no such questions because, as a veterinarian, I know what animals would starve without good quality hay and grains. They would not give excellent quality milk, meat, and eggs. Unfortunately, humans are supposed to be more competent than animals, but we behave as beings who follow instincts.

Why Nutrition Is Important to Health?

You would tell me that it is not valid. How would you explain that over 70 percent of the USA  people are obese? This beautiful country with the best technologies and achievements in most areas has fat people. These people do not jump for joy that they are overweight. I can bet that they suffer from low self-esteem and many issues associated with weight.

Do We Need to Blame Somebody?

Do we need to blame anyone? Of course, we can. However, it would be a waste of time and blame never fixed problems.

 What Can We Do?


  • Identify problem
  • Educate yourselves
  • Find ways how to solve the problem

Sounds Simple?

You know this was saying that everything that is genial is simple. We do not need to finish college to learn how junk food and a sedentary lifestyle affect our income, self-esteem, and quality of life.

Why Nutrition Is Important to Health?

You know that car every year and at the time when the sticker on your window shows the expiration needs maintenance. You know when your dog or cat goes to the vet.

How About You?


How about you? Who takes care of you? Do not tell me that you do not have time or money for it. You will have time and money when something unpleasant happens. Nobody is left alone to deal with serious health problems.

However, why do we need to reach the state of our healthy being when we can not change the outcome without drastic tools?

You would think that I talk in riddles. Maybe I’m not too fond of mentioning names of disorders. I know that prevention works for everybody willing to take their fates into their hands.

Why do we need to leave somebody our problems to solve?

Earl Nightingale, a famous writer and broadcaster, said that one difference between horses and human being is that we have brains. Unfortunately, most of us follow routines and instincts.

 Why does it happen?


We do not think. We do not use our brain in the way that it would bring us solutions, ideas, and advice on how to love lives in the way we would like to live.

First, most of us react to the stimulus. Smells good; let’s take a bite. It is crunchy; let’s eat more. It is cozy; let’s sleep longer and watch a movie or video game again. Somebody cuts in front of our car; let’s boil over and show them who the road’s ruler is. In this case, I am guilty too.

 Why Is Nutrition Important to Health?


The body is given to us the asset to perform various tasks. I speak in more technical terms, not in spiritual, but the body is a unique tool.

The body requires maintenance and superior care if we expect to perform in our lives in the best way possible.

Cells use nutrients for replenishing, strengthening, and balancing organs, tissues, and whole systems inside us.

How do you imagine it can be done beneficial way if we provide the body with processed food, sugary drinks, and zero movements?

Why Nutrition Is Important to Health?

Sooner or later, cells in the body will rebel without vital nutrients and become sluggish, fatty, and unhappy. It is an exaggeration, but if you know something about gardening, tomatoes planted in the sand do not grow. Potatoes do not give results produced on the asphalt. It simply dies.

Our bodies are resilient. We can overcome many obstacles without proper nutrition and exercise.

We are not tomatoes or potatoes. However, we will be if we do not take care of our health in the first place.

Can you buy health? Yes and no. It takes your precious time    ( you will not buy time, never), drains your money, and relationships with everybody.

Who will care for your relatives, family, cat, or dog? Who will be happy seeing you in a situation where you never could be if you would love yourself?

What Does the Right Nutrition?


The proper nutrition gives us vitality, energy, and the ability to live lives in the way we would like. Obesity does not occur in people who provide the body with minerals, vitamins, proteins, enzymes, and fats. Obesity does not happen for people who choose stairs instead of the elevator and walk for at least twenty minutes.

 Exceptions


Sylvia Tara, Ph.D., correctly analyzed obesity problems in her book The Secret Life of Fat. She gives many causes why people can not get rid of additional pounds, why it is so challenging to shed pounds when you were skinny before the birth of children or accidental encounter with the rooster.

Why Nutrition Is Important to Health?

There are exceptions, but it is not the norm for people to be in the 70 percent of the USA population as obese individuals.

 The Role of Right Nutrition


You would tell that pizza can serve as a nutritious food. Nope. Processed food does not have enzymes which are essential factors in the body’s metabolism. The body is an interconnected universe where the sneezing of Killer cells echoes to the rest of the immune system army.

If something goes wrong, the body is the kingdom with rules, laws, and consequences. Vital nutrients do not reach cells, calcium overflows cells and accumulates in the blood, and the calcification of tissues occurs. Beautiful bumps under the skin surface, sometimes in breasts too. We can be so scared because nobody likes suspicious signs inside or outside our bodies.

We would run to the health professional with the plea to help. It would be great if somebody knew how to test magnesium levels. Unfortunately, it does not happen so often.

Dr. Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D. Her book, The Magnesium Miracle explains the tricks of calcium and how magnesium deficiency can bring nightmares to our lives.

It looks simple, is not? We take magnesium, and problems disappear. Nope.

First, not so many of us know about the importance of magnesium. Second, it is not easy to believe that deficiency of minerals can bring turmoils to our lives.

It is the reason that prevention is the key to our well-being.

We prevent bodies from deficient nutrients by giving the right dietary supplements.

Can we get nutrients from food? Yes, some of them, yes, but not all amount. If we want to be in the best shape possible, we must take care of our body with the proper nutrition and supplements.

 Can I Offer Something Special?


Yes, I can. One of the reasons I started this website is my wish to share information about products that work and enrich our well-being.

We lead stressful lives, especially in the main cities. The lack of nature, simple contact with neighbors, organic food, peace, and enough time for recovery from daily tasks take a toll on us.

Most of us can not escape it. Why? Jobs, mortgages, family ties, and unpaid student loans keep us in the same circle adding stress and tiredness.

We need to sustain good health anytime. When you are healthy, you take it for granted. However, why wait till something happens? Let’s support us with the proper nutrition and the best dietary supplements.

Can I offer something unique? Yes. You read about it on my blog about these products. These dietary supplements give the body everything to maintain a healthy status.

 How to Achieve The Best Outcome to Our Bodies?


Why Nutrition Is Important to Health?

The best result will be when we consider ourselves as unique and valuable human beings. We do not need to be productive and eat caviar. Organic food made from scratch, saving the low temperature of all enzymes, vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements, and an active lifestyle can keep us on track. Volunteering, reading, and a positive attitude can change our lives. You can try. What will you lose? Your life can turn hundreds of degrees around, and you will wonder where you have been. Read the story of Rafael Zuniga here. If he can change his life around, you are no exception.

I would be glad to hear from you about your experience regarding proper nutrition.

Rejuvelac Nutrients

July 9, 2017 By Nemira 6 Comments

Rejuvelac nutrients provide value to people. Rejuvelac is a fermented drink. It is easy to make, tasty to drink, and we feel like we do not have any problem.

What Is Rejuvelac?


Rejuvelac is the slightly fermented liquid, barley made from grains, grown without chemicals. Wheat is high; it barely fits too. Rejuvelac is a lightly fermented liquid full of enzymes, B vitamin complex, vitamins C, E, and D.

According to Ann Wigmore, the founder of the renowned Hippocrates Health Insitute, Rejuvelac contains a high level of enzymes.

What are enzymes?


Enzymes are protein compounds and participate in all biological activities. Enzymes are sensitive substances. If we cook food at over 118 Fahrenheit, natural enzymes are destroyed. It means that prepared food will be digested longer and not give good quality as raw food.

Coffee, soda drinks such as cola, robust spices, and tea block natural digestion from the beginning. Cold drinks, sugar, and bleached flour interfere with the successful digestion process.

 Benefits of Rejuvelac


  • Rejuvelac prevents the oxidation of food when it is blended. Usually, oxidation occurs inside the body when as part of digestion. When oxygen reacts with blended food, oxidation outside of the body spoils nutrients. In this way, a mixed diet can lose benefits.
  • Rejuvelac contains inside vital force from sprouts. To make Rejuvelac, you must soak wheat berries till they start to grow. In this process, wheat berries release the energy needed for sprouts. With these sprouting forces, an enormous amount of vitamins and minerals are released, which helps the growth of the sprout.
  • Rejuvelac is a fermented drink. During fermentation, proteins, starches, and fats are broken into compounds called predigested foods. It makes digestion light for the body. Food assimilation occurs without additional effort and energy.
  • Rejuvelac can be called living food; if you think about all the vital nutrients in the full potency because nothing is destroyed by heat, time, and chemicals, you will see the bigger picture.
Rejuvelac Benefits

This picture shows how we can improve the quality of diet with minimal expenses and time. Rejuvelac is not fancy and expensive food, and there is no cutting in pieces of vegetables or meat; it is just a fermented drink full of goodies, so crucial to our bodies.

When digestion goes smoothly, all nutrients are used for body metabolism—no additional waste or deposits as fat. We are full of energy and strength.

Consuming living foods let us forgive processed food. The body knows what is good for us.

 Ann Wigmore’s  Recipe for Rejuvelac 



Tools for Rejuvelac


  • Clean, full-mouth glass jar. The size is one or half of the gallon.
  • A piece of nylon mesh or cheesecloth
  • Soft wheat berries
  • Rubber band
  • The process

Preparation


  • Fill the jar one-fourth full of wheat berries
  • Cover the mouth of the jar with the nylon mesh or cheesecloth
  • Secure the mesh with a durable rubber band
  • Fill the pot with filtered or spring water
  • Soak wheat berries for eight-ten hours
  • Drain them
  • Rinse them
  • Drain again
  • Place the hat at the angle to drain seeds continuously
  • Make sure what seeds would get enough ventilation

Sprouting stage

  • Wheat berries start to sprout
  • Rinse wheat berries twice or three times a day during sproutingRejuvelac Benefits
  • After two days, Rinse sprouted wheat berries for the last time
  • Drain off cleaning water
  • Fill the jar to the top with spring or filtered water
  • Allow soaking sprouts for forty-eight hours
  • After forty- eight hours, the first batch is Rejuvelac

The Usage of Rejuvelac

  • Pour the liquid into another jar for immediate use
  • Keep in the refrigerator to slow down the fermentation process
  • Refill the first jar with berries inside with filtered or spring water. It is the same jar where you sprouted the first batch of Rejuvelac.
  • Soak sprouts twenty-four hours
  • Pour off the second batch of Rejuvelac.
  • Fill the jar with the same sprouts with spring or filtered water for the last batch of Rejuvelac.
  • After three batches, Ann Wigmore offers to feed berries to birds.

Characteristics of Rejuvelac

Rejuvelac, at best, is a cloudy, light yellow liquid with a tart, lemonade flavor. If fermentation is too long, the taste can be sour. You can see tiny bubbles because fermentation consistently occurs. Great Rejuvelac is lightly carbonated. It can be the layer of white foam on the top of Rejuvelac.

Keeping conditions

Rejuvelac can be held in the refrigerator for a few days or as long as the taste is pleasant for you. It is best to drink Rejuvelac between meals, avoiding dilution of stomach acid.

Did you try Rejuvelac? For me, Rejuvelac slightly resembles RnA drops from Dr. Carolyn Dean. I would be glad to hear from you. Please leave a comment below.

RnA Drops From Dr.Carolyn Dean

July 8, 2017 By Nemira 2 Comments

RnA Drops from Dr. Carolyn Dean

Rna Drops from Dr.Carolyn Dean is a unique and slightly mysterious product. RnA Drops benefits are enormous in the same way as the rest of the Total Body Reset bundle products. Dr.Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D., counts RnA Drops as the most fantastic product. Okay, let’s dig more in-depth about these RnA Drops.

What are RnA Drops?


RnA Drops are a food-based product. These RnA Drops are made from barley sprouts. Besides, it is a non-gluten product. RnA Drops are made similar to homeopathic products—the resonance with previous batches. For example, if you pick the 129 batches, it will contain all 128 previous generations. It gives qualities of previous batches and strengthens the last one.

How Did It Start?

Dr. Carolyn Dean introduced the water purifier grown from grains 40 years ago. Twenty-five years ago, Dr.Carolyn Dean got the formula from the owner. I see coincidences between RnA Drops and Rejuvelac from Ann Wigmore, the founder of Hippocrates Health Insitute. Why? Rejuvelac is a liquid made from sprouted grains.

Later on, Dr.Carolyn Dean and her team started the Living Water project. It resonates with Rejuvelac because it is a slightly fermented drink. Rejuvelax contains enzymes, friendly bacteria, B-complex vitamins, and vitamins C and E.  However, I think it is excellent when so many healthy options could make a difference in people’s lives.

Working on the Living Water project, Dr. Carolyn Dean saw that workers around the project felt more energetic. RnA Drops were discovered coincidentally as the byproduct of the project.

Prepare Yourself for the Jaw-Dropping


The iCell is the main ingredient in RnA Drops. At first, it can sound not very clear because it is not easy for some of us to grasp how the iCell was discovered. Fortunately, this discovery is unique that Dr. Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D., and her team applied for the USA patent. You can read below the unique qualities of iCell:

1. The iCell shall change how the human body assimilates nutrition.

2. The iCell shall modify the body’s means of replicating healthy cells.

3. The iCell shall alter the way hydrogen is processed through photosynthesis.

4. The isolated iCell has unlimited potential for enhancement of living matter.

5. The iCell is the crucial building block of Super Trihydrogen (#U.S. 61/403,432), which creates the new stable chemical C122 H197 098 (Insulinose) (#U.S. 61/461,082).

6. The iCell is key to enhancing amino acids within the human lipid system and creating stable new amino acids.

In the patent, these qualities are described as claims. Anyway, it shows how RnA Drops stands out from other products. iCell is newly-created and harvested from sprouted barley grain or other grains. I want to present here an abstract about iCell from the USA Patent Application:

The iCell is a newly-created cell that is incubated and harvested using sprouted barley grain (or other gluten grains) along with clover seeds, pepper seeds, alfalfa water, and a live yeast sponge. An electrical current is used to stimulate the curing process to solidify the iCell in a contained field. The iCell is a consistently-propagated cell that allows nutrition to be more completely utilized in the human body. This nutrition represented by Cellionose and enhanced amino acids allows for the creation of healthy cells throughout the body. The iCell is identified as a new cellular organism whose properties have been encountered randomly throughout humanity’s history. This patent outlines the production of consistently-propagated cells. At a cellular level the iCell has far-reaching applications including water reclamation, water desalination, human hydration, and unique polypeptide bonding creating new amino acids. ICells have a direct correlation with the measurable potential for hydrogen. The iCell is responsible for providing information to affect the body’s DNA via RNA.

RnA Drops from Dr. Carolyn Dean

Are you confused? If you are, think about all the things we use and do not understand how they work.  For example, radio waves. Can you catch them? How about gravity and atomic energy? There are so many fascinating things around us. We do not dig deeper because we do not have enough knowledge of it. Maybe we are content with what we use and do not need to know what it is, except that it works and brings enormous benefits.

What Do RnA Drops?


RnA Drops from Dr. Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D. work in slightly mysterious ways. Of course, it depends on how you look at things that can not be touched or measured physically.

RnA Drops give information to RNA, our RNA. The data from RnA Drops affect DNR through the improved function of chromosome 14. This process allows the body to replicate perfect cells.

How is it done? We need to leave it for scientists and doctors with over 40 years of experience. Of course, if you are curious about it, you can read Dr. Carolyn Dean’s blogs, articles, and e-books.

 Benefits of RnA Drops


  • RnA Drops contain phosphorus
  • RnA Drops have prebiotic and probiotic effects
  • RnA Drops boost energy
  • RnA Drops balance blood sugars
  • RnA Drops help to adjust appetite
  • RnA Drops aid in controlling craving impulses for alcohol, tobacco, sugar
  • RnA Drops improve hair, skin, and mood conditions
  • RnA Drops help to improve chronic conditions within 90 days using the dose of 15 drops 2x daily
RnA Drops from Dr.Carolyn Dean

According to Dr. Carolyn Dean, RnA Drops are ” capable of elevating the health status of the whole body by creating perfect cells.” These new cells are active, complete, and without genetic effects.

Conclusion


RnA Drops are natural, food-based, and organic products made from grain sprouts. It offers benefits without side effects. Using this excellent product, you would give yourself peace of mind. The feedback from customers is only positive. Individuals have used this product for over six years and are happy about it. According to Dr. Caroly Dean, RnA Drops are the expression of Future Medicine.

How about you? Did you hear about Dr.Carolyn Dean’s products? You can read about them more here.

I used the material from websites, blogs, and answers from the fabulous RnAReset team for this blog.

Magnesium for Obesity

July 8, 2017 By Nemira Leave a Comment

Magnesium for obesity is a vital mineral. Sufficient magnesium can make a difference in people’s lives. Unfortunately, obese individuals lack magnesium.

 How does it happen?


Magnesium for Obesity

The Diet of fat people consists of fried foods, cakes, baked, and processed foods. Sugary drinks add weight to places where fat is undesirable. Diet without nutrients such as minerals, vitamins, enzymes, and amino acids is a junk diet. We eat food that depletes magnesium and other minerals. This food builds up fat but does not provide building blocks and materials for the body’s metabolism.

How Does Magnesium Help for Obesity?


Magnesium, together with vitamin B -complex, activate enzymes. These enzymes control

  • Digestion
  • Absorption
  • Utilization of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

What do you think if the body does not have enough magnesium? How are these enzymes supposed to work? It is the same as expecting a car to drive a hundred miles with a few ounces of gasoline.

Of course, the body and car are entirely different. However, some of us treat our collections like the mechanism, where one detail can be changed with others. Sorry, it does not work in this way.

I can imagine that people would like to solve all problems by pushing one button, pill, or buying lottery tickets. I know what it is the lack of information.

Magnesium and vitamin B-complex are energy nutrients. When they are efficient, the body can not properly utilize food. Obesity, hypoglycemia, and anxiety attacks can occur.

  Why do people crave food?


Magnesium for Obesity

People reach for junk food again and again when the body misses vital nutrients. The body knows what it needs. However, they can not tell or ask us for help. When we torture bodies with junk food, the body stops behaving and rewards us with additional pounds and various disorders. No fun, but that it can do? Empty calories from junk food build up weight for us, but the body craves nutrients again.

It is a vicious cycle when we do not give the body what it needs. The body, until organic, needs nutrients for functioning. We eat more and more.  Junk food does not have nutrients. Junk food is just a ballast, nothing more. Obesity takes over. We are not happy. Maybe happiness visits during the process of eating, but later on, it disappears.

The Lack of Magnesium leads to Diabetes


Obese people have problems. These problems are limited movement, low self-esteem, the lack of cute clothes, lousy attitude from strangers, etc.

Besides it, diabetes can creep in. How does it happen?  Magnesium is friends with insulin. Magnesium lets insulin usher glucose to the cell. Imagine the situation when you want to go to prom with your girlfriend, but your parents do not permit you. You can be mad or stump feet, but you will not go.

Magnesium for Obesity

In this case with magnesium, if there are not enough magnesium, glucose and insulin levels will become elevated. The excess glucose is stored as fat. Can you imagine?  When levels of insulin are too high, diabetes can occur.

When magnesium is efficient, can you see connections between junk food, magnesium, and consequences?

Of course, there are more factors, such as genetics and viruses( read Sylvia Tara, the Ph.D.  book  The Secret Life of Fat), but the lack of magnesium throws the body off balance.

 Do Not Worry; be Happy


I know what is easier to tell but not accomplish tasks, especially if it requires discipline. Obese people experience stress over time. The stress hormone cortisol suppresses the metabolism. The body wants to keep all fat just in case something happens. However, this shutdown does not let lose pounds.

Is it a Solution?


Yes, it is. First, magnesium makes miracles. This mineral relaxes enzymes to perform their job efficiently. In this way, the body can utilize food without adding it as fat. Sounds great? Everything is simple if we look for the correct information. Magnesium helps deal with stress too.

There are plenty of magnesium supplements. Magnesium citrate is one of the best for looking for price and benefits.

However, ReMag, the liquid pick-ionic magnesium, gives the body everything it needs. ReMag is 100 percent absorbable. It goes straight to the cell. When I hold the ReMag solution in my mouth, magnesium travels directly to the body: no laxative effects, no additional parts, just pure magnesium. You can read more about ReMag here.

The Magnesium Importance

July 4, 2017 By Nemira Leave a Comment

The magnesium importance is enormous. Magnesium deficiency is a common situation and brings unpleasant and harmful results to our bodies. The body does not produce magnesium. This mineral reaches us with diet. Unfortunately, plants and animals do not get magnesium from the soil in quantities beneficial for our well-being.

What Is Magnesium?


Magnesium is a mineral found in Earth’s crust, eight by abundance. Our bodies have 4-6 tsp or 20-28 g or 2 oz of magnesium. Magnesium resides in nature with a joint account with other elements. Magnesium makes combinations with sulfur, carbon, with calcium.

  • Magnesium plus sulfur will be Epsom salts.
  • Magnesium with carbon will be magnesium carbonate.
  • Magnesium with calcium will be dolomite.

Magnesium is an alkaline mineral that neutralizes acids.

Why Is Magnesium So Important?


Magnesium participates as the cofactor in enzymes reactions. Enzymes run the body’s metabolism. Without enzymes, our body would shut down.

Magnesium regulates calcium flow to the cell and out of the cell. The calcium does not know when to go to the cell and when to move out. The magnesium is smarter. This mineral pushes calcium to go into the cell when the cell needs it — magnesium ushers calcium out of the cell when the cell is content with the amount of calcium. Of course, the magnesium does not work as a doorman in the building. It is a complicated mechanism. However, everybody who wants to dig deeper regarding details of the body’s metabolism can take chemistry and biology courses and check Dr. Carolyn Dean’s website: www.drcarolyndean.com.

 Magnesium and Calcium Relationship


We need twice the amount of magnesium compared with calcium. Unfortunately, people think they will scatter to pieces without enormous amounts of calcium. They take supplements and eat food where calcium is a common component.

Interestingly, calcium does not dissolve in the bloodstream or water. You whisk calcium hundreds of times, but it still is visible as white flakes. Only magnesium can make calcium disappear.

Previously I wondered why some individuals have bumps under the skin. It is not painful, but it is a bump. Who needs it?

The short story is that calcium without sufficient magnesium deposits in tissues. Later on, we have problems with blood vessels, breast tissues, etc. Uh!

 Magnesium for Active Individuals


The Magnesium Importance

Magnesium helps athletes and everybody who exercises. Magnesium relaxes muscles and helps prevent lactic acid build-up after a strenuous workout.

Calcium contracts muscles. Magnesium relaxes. Without sufficient magnesium, we would have cramps, twitches, migraines, headaches, anxiety, and depression. Tissues of muscles are everywhere in the body. It can be a tiny thread of muscle cells, but they require magnesium too.

 Breathing With Magnesium 


Magnesium aids asthma patients. We have small muscles in the airways. When the asthma attack occurs, airways spasm and do not let air inside. It is a terrible situation. Magnesium participates in relaxing muscles and eases symptoms of asthma.

 Love your Heart


Magnesium is anti-inflammatory. Magnesium deficiency leads to various problems, such as autoimmune and heart disorders. Heart disease is one number of murders between men and women—steroids used for a long time prompt heart disease. Of course, genetics and lifestyle influence adverse outcomes, but the usage of magnesium can change situations immensely. Do not believe me? Please read Dr.Carolyn Dean’s book The Magnesium Miracle.

No to  Headaches


Previously, I knew that magnesium works because I experienced positive effects twenty years ago when one guy bothered me till I got a headache. It was just 20 minutes conversation because we met accidentally and went in the same direction. I excused myself and visited a pharmacy. It was a nice coincidence because I got rid of this talker and have been introduced to the healing effects of magnesium. My headache disappeared after twenty minutes. It was magnesium citrate.

Okay, it is enough personal experience. Let’s check what Dr. Carolyn Dean mentions in her book, The Magnesium Miracle.

 How about Statins?


Yes, Magnesium is a natural statin. Magnesium aids balance enzyme that makes cholesterol. Can you imagine what happens when we do not get magnesium with food? From where can magnesium come? The best way is to get 100 percent of absorbed liquid magnesium.

 Happy Golden Years with MagnesiumThe Magnesium Importance


Magnesium helps prevent aging consequences such as irritation, extreme emotions, dizziness, fatigue, headaches, the sensation of a lump in the throat, anxiety, and light-headedness. Most seniors do not get whole nutrition in the same way as adults.  Dr.Jean Durlach, a magnesium expert from France, pointed out that these previously mentioned symptoms happen when magnesium is deficient.

 Do not Worry; be Happy


Depression touches millions of people. Chemicals used for relieving symptoms have plenty of side effects that can fill a long list. Okay, I am a veterinarian, and I know that prevention is the key to well-being. In China, the best doctor is a person who does not have such patients. How about it?

According to Dr. Carolyn Dean, studies reported that only 40 percent of antidepressants could work. Uh! Magnesium participates in serotonin release and uptake. You know that serotonin is a brain neurotransmitter that makes us feel good.

When stress depletes magnesium, depression can occur.

Conclusion


Magnesium is an essential mineral that is vital for body metabolism. Sufficient magnesium provides body support. The body functions and performs smoothly when it does not lack crucial minerals. However, we do not get enough magnesium with food. Most magnesium supplements have laxative effects. For some people, it is okay; for sensitive bodies, it can be a burden.

ReMag is a liquid magnesium formula that absorbs 100 percent and goes straight to the cell. There is no laxative effect. You could read about ReMag more here.
