Kale Nutrition And 9 Amazing Benefits For Health Start From Prevent Cancer Up To Helps Pregnant Women

Kale nutrition can be said to be almost complete, such as a source of vitamins and minerals. Therefore, kale able to provide many health benefits start from good for skin health up to prevent cancer. Kale also called borecole, is from the Brassica family of vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli and kailan. When consumed regularly, these dark green vegetables, touted able to shield the body from cancer and lowering cholesterol. Beside rich in minerals, kale is also full of antioxidant vitamins A, C and K. Carotenoids and flavonoids are antioxidants that have been proven effective in warding off cancer. Hence, some people call kale as the healthiest vegetable on earth.



In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, mentioned taking antioxidant vitamin K can reduce the risk of death from cancer. Vitamin K can also be found in spinach, kailan, and also cheese. Vitamin K is very good for maintaining body functions, ranging from preventing blood clotting, antioxidant activity, to bone health. However, excess vitamin K can also have a negative impact on some people. Patients who are taking anticoagulant drugs (freezing) should avoid vegetables kale, due to its content of vitamin K can interfere with drug action. Before we discuss about all kale benefits for health, read kale nutritive value based on USDA Nutrient data base below.

Peroxisome proliferator activated receptors and your ticker

Everyone knows by now that having diabetes raises the risk for heart disease in various forms. Wouldnt it be interesting to understand the biological reasons for this connection? Well, it turns out that various factors seem to be relevant, and one of them involves a variety of paths that all pass through the territory of a rather interesting protein called PPAR-γ.

Not only is PPAR-γ implicated in processes related to both diabetes and heart disease, but it turns out that some drugs used to control diabetes also affect the risk of heart disease – because of PPAR-γ.

Well begin the discussion by looking at recent research on how PPAR-γ affects heart function.

First, of course, we should explain what a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor is. The name is somewhat off-putting, and nowadays most people just write PPAR. Its also a bit of a historical artifact, in that this class of proteins was first investigated in connections with peroxisomes, which are cellular organelles that participate in the metabolism of fatty acids. Thats an important clue right there, because if we are dealing with fat metabolism, there may well be connections with conditions such as obesity and cardiovascular disease.

It turns out that is only a part of what PPARs are connected with.

A PPAR is not a cell surface receptor. Instead it is a nuclear receptor, meaning that its a protein found in the interior of cells that (like a surface receptor) is activated when it connects with hormones and similar molecules. Such molecules that bind to a receptor are called ligands.

Initially, the ligands in question were known to cause proliferation of peroxisomes, but now many other kinds of ligands that activate PPARs have been identified.

Once a PPAR has been activated it can affect the expression of many different genes, because it acts as a transcription factor.

Three important PPARs are known: PPAR-α, PPAR-β (also called PPAR-δ), and PPAR-γ. Its the last of these well be concerned with here. In fact, PPAR-γ seems to affect many cellular processes related to metabolism and other things. Recent research that we may discuss another time (see here) has shown that there are about 5300 sites in the DNA of a fat cell that PPAR-γ can bind to, and hence potentially affect the expression of nearby genes. So its not surprising that PPAR-γ is involved in quite a lot of cellular business.

Incidentally, all three PPARs are produced from the same gene, with the variant forms being due to alternative splicing.

The research we want to highlight here deals with how PPAR-γ is linked with the daily rise and fall of heart rate and blood pressure. Such things that are part of the normal circadian rhythm, in animals, are usually regulated from the central nervous system. But that doesnt seem to be the only regulator:

What Makes The Heart Tick-tock (12/2/08)
Researchers have new evidence to show that the heart beats to its own drummer, according to a report in the December issue of the journal Cell Metabolism. Theyve uncovered some of the molecular circuitry within the cardiovascular system itself that controls the daily rise and fall of blood pressure and heart rate. The findings might also explain why commonly used diabetes drugs come with cardiovascular benefits, according to the researchers.

"This is the first study to demonstrate that a peripheral clock plays a role in the circadian rhythm of blood pressure and heart rate," said Tianxin Yang of the University of Utah and Salt Lake Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

While much progress has been made over the years in understanding the bodys master clock in the brain, the new study offers one of the first glimpses into the biological function of peripheral clocks in maintaining the circadian rhythms of tissues throughout the body, the researchers said.

There has already been reason to suspect that PPAR-γ is involved in this:
Earlier studies suggested a role for the nuclear receptor called peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) in clock function. PPAR-γ is perhaps best known as the molecular target for a class of widely prescribed and effective diabetes drugs called thiazolidinediones (TZDs), including rosiglitazone (trade name Avandia) and pioglitazone (trade name Actos). Those diabetes drugs are known to come with a side benefit: they have protective effects on the cardiovascular system.

The new research shows that the circadian variation in heart rate and blood pressure is disrupted simply by eliminating PPAR-γ from cardiovascular cells. The elimination was effected by working with two strains of mice in which suitable genes had been knocked out:
The researchers found that both knockout strains showed a significant reduction of circadian variations in blood pressure and heart rate. .... The mice also showed declines in variation of norepinephrine/epinephrine in their urine—a measure of activity of the sympathetic nervous system, which plays a key role in heart rate and blood pressure.

The animals had impairments in the rhythmicity of the major clock genes, including Bmal1, a transcription factor that controls the activity of other core clock components, they report. By treating the mice with the diabetes drug rosiglitazone, they were able to increase the activity of Bmal1 in the animals aortas, the largest artery of the body that issues blood from the heart, and further study showed that the core clock gene is directly controlled by PPAR-γ.

What, more precisely, is the role of PPAR-γ in affecting rhythmicity? Apparently the effect is indirect, due to its abillity to activate Bmal1, which is known to be an important clock protein. This is indicated because rosiglitazone seems to be able to compensate for missing PPAR-γ.

Interestingly, other recent research has shown that the sirtuin protein SIRT1 also affects Bmal1. (See here.) this may be significant, since SIRT1 has gene-silencing effects that depend on nutritional factors.

What other processes is PPAR-γ involved with? Better-known than its effect on cardiovascular circadian rhythm is its role in fatty acid storage and glucose metabolism, and hence its connection with diabetes. But well have to look at that another time.

benefits and functions of vitamin


Vitamins are a group of organic amine compounds which have vital functions in the metabolism of living things. Vitamins can not be produced by the body, and if living things (humans, animals and plants) vitamin deficiency, then adversely affect the bodys metabolism and growth and are vulnerable to disease.
Vitamin derived from the Latin: vita (life) and amine / amine refers to an organic group having a nitrogen atom (N), because at first vitamin considered so.

Whooping Cough Can Cause Death Know The Symptoms And How To Prevent

Whooping cough, or also known as "pertussis" is one of the contagious diseases to watch out for. Typically, whooping cough begins with mild respiratory symptoms such as coughing, sneezing and nasal secretions come out continuously (catarrhal stage), and then after 1 week to 2 weeks followed by the continuous cough but followed a period in which there is a pause cough (paroxysmal stage). 



Dr. Manny Alvarez, health practitioners from New York University School of Medicine, explains, whooping cough is very contagious through bacterial infection that causes coughing and inflammation of the respiratory organs of the upper part. The disease spread from person to person through coughing or sneezing, activities that spread the bacteria into the air.

The disease is generally difficult to diagnose early, because the early symptoms are often mild and are similar to the flu. In some people, these infections can lead to pneumonia (lung inflammation), even in severe cases, whooping cough can cause death.

Symptoms and signs of whooping cough 
  1. Chest feels cold, loss of appetite, coughing at night, sneezing, lethargy, and eye infections. 
  2. After 7-14 days, the cough becomes more severe and rapidly repeated, accompanied by thick phlegm. 
  3. Every cough ends with a squeaky voice, and sometimes accompanied by vomiting. 
  4. During coughing attacks, patients face looks bluish red. 
  5. In infants, the cough attack can cause the baby not breathing periodically, lack of oxygen, and metabolic disorders.


According to the Mayo Clinics health site, deaths from whooping cough is rare, but the case is most commonly found in infants and toddlers. Nevertheless, there are actually many ways to prevent whooping cough. One of the most effective for the prevention of the disease is through the administration of DPT vaccine. Vaccines to prevent bacterial infections Bordetella pertussis, the cause of whooping cough, has been around since the 70s.

Ironically, in recent years the prevalence of whooping cough have increased. In England, in 2010 there are 421 recorded cases of whooping cough, while in 2011 there were 1,040 cases.

According to Alvarez, this is because not all vaccines have a permanent effect. Acquired immunity from the vaccine tends to weaken over time. This means that, despite getting vaccinated as toddlers, a person may be exposed to whooping cough in adolescence or adulthood. Because of that, he said, vaccination needs to be repeated to reduce the transmission rate.

Dr Mary Ramsay, head of vaccinations at the Health Protection Agency (HPA), said that the effectiveness of a vaccine to protect whooping cough is very good, but the disease is highly contagious and can spread rapidly, therefore, parents should ensure their children are vaccinated so they are protected from the whooping cough disease.

Heart Disease Symptoms and How to Overcome It

Understanding of heart disease, heart attack, symptoms of heart disease, heart disease traits, how to prevent and how to treat heart disease.

Heart disease is a condition that causes the heart can not carry out their duties properly. These include a weak heart muscle (congenital abnormalities) and or the existence of a gap between the right atrium and left the porch, because of incomplete formation of a separate layer between the platform when the patient is still in the womb. This causes the blood clean and dirty blood is mixed.

Understanding of heart disease and heart attacks are different. If A heart attack is a condition that causes heart was not functioning. This condition usually occurs suddenly, and often called heart failure. Causes of heart failure vary, but usually the main cause is impaired blood supply to heart muscles, because the blood vessels that normally drain blood to the heart muscles are blocked or hardened, either because of fat and cholesterol, or because the substance chemical substances such as excessive use of drugs that contain Phenol Propano Alanine (ppa) are mostly found in drugs such as Decolgen, and nicotine. (Source: wikipedia).

However, heart disease is one disease that dangerous and cause a lot of death to the sufferer. Not infrequently, the patient is too late to know that he was suffering from heart disease so its too late for diatasai. For that, knowing the symptoms of heart disease or trait you need to know in order to be done immediately follow the treatment as soon as possible.

Symptoms of heart disease (source: wikipedia) 
  1. Pain. If the muscles are not getting enough blood (a condition called ischemia), then the inadequate oxygen and the metabolism of excessive causing cramps or spasms. Angina is a feeling of tightness in the chest or squeezing chest feeling, which arises when the heart muscle not getting enough blood. The type and severity of pain or discomfort varies in each person. Some people experience a lack of blood flow could not feel any pain at all (a condition called silent ischemia).
  2. Shortness of breath is a symptom commonly found in heart failure. Shortness is a result of the entry of fluid into the cavity of the air in the lungs (pulmonary congestion or pulmonary edema).
  3. Fatigue or tiredness. If the heart is not pumping effectively, blood flow to the muscles during activity will be reduced, causing the patient to feel weak and tired. These symptoms are often mild. To overcome this, the patient usually is gradually reducing its activity or thought these symptoms as part of aging.
  4. Palpitations (heart palpitations)
  5. dizziness & fainting. Decreased blood flow due to rate or abnormal heart rhythm or because of poor pumping ability, can cause dizziness and fainting.

Other sources (vivanews.com) said the typical symptoms of heart disease as follows:
  1. Sudden pain in the chest behind the breastbone or as chest tightness.
  2. Chest pain can be repeated a few minutes (20 minutes or more).
  3. The pain can be a pressure in the chest, and neck as if choking, causing cold sweat
  4. Suddenly passed out, but could come back unconscious. This occurs because there is disturbance of heart rhythm
  5. Feel like stomach ulcers, but had not previously been suffering from stomach disorder

In some people, symptoms can be similar to normal colds. If you experience symptoms similar to those mentioned above, do not hesitate to contact your doctor immediately in order to get proper medical care.

Tips Preventing heart disease 
  1. A healthy diet, Avoid foods that contain fat and high cholesterol. Also avoid foods with high sugar content such as soft drinks, for example.
  2. quit smoking, In the pack of cigarettes already explained that "Smoking can cause cancer, heart attacks, impotence, and disturbances of pregnancy and the fetus".
  3. Avoid stress, When someone is stressed, the body will release the hormone cortisol, which can cause the blood vessels become stiff.
  4. Reduce excess weight (obesity), Obesity has a major risk of heart left atrial enlargement. This cardiac enlargement will increase the heart rate abnormalities, stroke, and death.
  5. Exercising regularly, Exercise such as walking or jogging can strengthen the heart and blood circulation throughout the body.
  6. Consumption of antioxidants, Antioxidants Important to Prevent Heart Disease. This can be obtained from a variety of vegetables, fruits, and drinking tea.
  7. Descent, If you have close relatives who have had heart attacks, you should start now to be more careful in maintaining the diet and lifestyle. Heart disease is not hereditary diseases, but if there is a family (parents, grandparents, siblings, uncles, aunts, etc.) who are suffering or have suffered from heart disease, you have risk factors for heart disease. So, need to watch out!
  8. etc.

How to cope with heart disease
In this world there is no better than the first drug prevention. So, as much as possible reduce or eliminate unhealthy lifestyle. Healthy lifestyle is a necessity if you want to avoid this disease.

However, there are some substances that are believed to be able to reduce or increase the risk of disease and heart attacks, among others: (source: wikipedia)
 
  1. Some researchers say that the substance allicin found in garlic may help maintain heart health. Research shows that by virtue substance allicin, the tension of blood vessels is reduced 72%. But some other researchers have also stated that there was no association between garlic to heart health. In a study conducted on 90 smokers body fat, European researchers found that the addition of garlic powder for 3 months showed no change in their cholesterol levels or some other signs of heart disease risk.

Siberian Russian Ginseng Eleuthero and Menopause


Siberian Ginseng is not actually called Ginseng at all in the modern scientific literature to avoid confusion and mix-up with real Ginseng (Panax Ginseng and American Ginseng). Eleutherococcus senticosus is only distantly related to the true ginseng species and possesses entirely different, unrelated chemical constituents. However, it is still called Russian or Siberian ginseng in the popular literature and public websites. The origin of this misnomer lies in the work of a Soviet scientist, Israel Brekhman, who believed that eleutherococcus has the same properties as ginseng, and popularized it as a less-expensive alternative herb.

According to Brekhman, eleutherococcus and ginseng are both adaptogens . This term refers to a hypothetical treatment defined as follows: An adaptogen should help the body adapt to stresses of various kinds, whether heat, cold, exertion, trauma, sleep deprivation, toxic exposure, radiation, infection, or psychological stress. Furthermore, an adaptogen should cause no side effects, be effective in treating a wide variety of illnesses, and help return an organism toward balance no matter what may have gone wrong.

Perhaps the only indisputable example of an adaptogen is a healthful lifestyle. By eating right, exercising regularly, and generally living a life of balance and moderation, you will increase your physical fitness and ability to resist illnesses of all types. Brekhman felt certain that both eleutherococcus and ginseng produced similarly universal benefits.

Eleuthero and Menopause Symptoms

Siberian Ginseng is known remedy to relieve menstrual disorders and menopausal symptoms. It may positively affect Hormone levels works to stabilize hormone levels and tone the large uterine muscle. Also eleuthero is used in much the same way to stimulate the endocrine gland and also assimilate vitamins and minerals.

As with other natural remedies, the effects of Siberian Ginseng can vary between individuals.  Diet, exercise, lifestyle and other medication all play a role in determining the effects of ginseng on an individual. However, Vanderbilt University has published results from years of research indicating the potential of Siberia Ginseng for women going through menopause.  Here are some of the ways ginseng is helping women.

* Relief from Hot Flashes. Between 60% and 85% of menopausal women experience hot flashes, some as often as 20 times a day!  These hot flashes are often accompanied by heart palpitations, anxiety, and vertigo. Scientific research shows that Siberian Ginseng offers relief to women suffering from hot flashes.  Physiologically, this happens because ginseng stimulates production of a hormone that can lower body temperature.
* Relief from insomnia. Although often used as a stimulant to battle fatigue, Siberian Ginseng can also serve the opposite role of fighting insomnia. Many menopausal women suffer from insomnia or interrupted sleep, often caused by nighttime hot flashes.  This lack of sleep can cause numerous other problems including irritability, lack of mental focus, poor memory, and general fatigue.
* Effects on Hormone Levels. Many symptoms of menopause are instigated by a sharp reduction in estrogen levels, leading many women to seek estrogen replacement therapy.  Reports indicate that Siberian ginseng might actually have many of the same properties as estrogen. 
* Mood Elevation.Numerous animal studies show that ginseng’s effects on the body result in an enhanced mood.  Studies on mid-aged women 40-60 years old also showed significant improvement in concentration, feelings of vitality, productivity, and mood.

Other Health Benefits

Siberian ginseng contains remarkable compounds that favorably affect the adrenal glands, the small glands that rest atop the kidneys and secrete stress-fighting hormones. Taking the herb is believed to boost the bodys capacity to handle physical stresses ranging from heat exposure to extreme exertion. Resistance to disease increases as well. So does ones overall energy level.

Specifically, Siberian ginseng may help to:

* Prevent stress-related illnesses. Several studies have shown that Siberian ginseng can increase a persons resistance to physical stresses. In a series of landmark Russian studies in the 1960s, 2,100 healthy adults (19 to 72 years old) given Siberian ginseng were shown to better handle stressful conditions. Specifically, they experienced an increased ability to perform physical labor, withstand motion sickness, and work with speed and precision despite being surrounded by noise. They could also proofread documents more accurately and more readily adapt to such physical stresses such as heat, high altitudes, and low-oxygen environments. Siberian ginseng may also help boost people’s immunity if their immune systems are already compromised. A study on women undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer found that in the 4 weeks after chemo treatment various measures of cellular immunity were improved.
* Relieve chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia. Because Siberian ginseng bolsters the adrenal glands, its worth trying to relieve the exhaustion and muscle pain associated with these energy-depleting conditions. A study of 96 chronic fatigue sufferers found that Siberian ginseng may be efficacious for people suffering from moderate CFS.
* Combat fatigue and restore energy. Siberian ginseng is popular for invigorating and fortifying the body. It appears to boost energy levels in people suffering from acute or constant exhaustion. Those recovering from an illness or weary from a heavy work schedule may also benefit from its energy-boosting and immune-enhancing powers.
* Increase male and female fertility and reduce male impotence. By supporting healthy uterine function, Siberian ginseng may be useful in preventing female infertility. Males may experience an increased sperm count (rotate it with Panax ginseng for this purpose). Animal studies indicate that the herb can even boost testosterone levels and thus help reverse certain cases of male impotence.
* Treat Alzheimers disease. Siberian ginseng may increase mental alertness, particularly in the early stages of this progressive disorder. The herbs ability to boost the transmission of nerve impulses may also enhance memory. A recent small randomized controlled study found that some aspects of mental and social functioning in the elderly improved after treatment with ginseng after only four weeks.
* Combat free-radical damage and some forms of cancer. Scientists have been able to show that Siberian ginseng has a cytotoxic (cell killing) effect on some cancer cell lines in laboratory studies. These preliminary results still need to be investigated in animal and human models, so the chances of seeing Siberian ginseng be touted as a effective cancer treatment is still years away.
* Increase resistance to colds and flu. Historically, the Chinese have found Siberian ginseng to be effective in suppressing colds and flu. The herbs immune-enhancing powers may play a role. Recent studies have found that Siberian ginseng is a helpful to ease upper respiratory tract infections and sinusitis.

Dosage

Human trials have not resulted in any significant side effects. Safety in pregnant or nursing women, young children, or people with severe liver or kidney disease is not known.

One report suggests that Eleutherococcus may alter the results of a test for the medication digoxin.

Best beauty cream formula for Skin Whitening and removing Pimples

When I had teen age acne, some one from family recommended me a very nice mixture of creams. It not only cleared my face but also improved my skin tone and lightened my color so i call it beauty cream formula. Its been 10 years now I am using it and referring it to almost all of my friends and relatives and rarely heard of any skin reaction. Thats the reason that right after covering the basics of skin care in my blog, I cant stop myself sharing this magical mixture instead of writing reviews about popular brands.




You will need following very commonly available creams:
  • Fair and lovely

  • Arche cream
 
  •  Stillmans Bleach cream
  • Stillmans Freckle cream

  • Betnovate cream

  •  Vitamin C Facial Radiance Capsules
  
  

Procedure:

Take a slightly bigger jar or used washed bottle such as the one shown below:
Add one big tube of Fair and lovely cream , one standard size Arche cream, one Stillmens bleach cream and one Stillmens freckle cream, half Betnovate cream (remaining half you can apply directly to your pimples if you have any in stead of wasting) and two capsules of Vitamin C Facial Radiance.
Mix them thoroughly with a plastic stirrer. The mixture does not look good might not merge completely and shows some pores never mind.
Take some amount in your palm and now you can mix this completely and apply to your face. It almost make a thick white mask.




Precaution: Betnovate will thin the skin over time if used regularly, making it more prone to breaking so I always recommend to add small portion of it only because its best for soaking pimples.

Best time to apply:
The best time is before going to bed and after cleansing you can apply this and have good beauty sleep. In the start you can lap the mixture fully over your face like you do with your bleach and sleep like this. If it suits you you can massage it fully before sleeping.


This is exactly how I was told and I used and found it real amazing. Now with in 10 years i have made some changes... thats up to you if you like you can add also...

There are many brands of Yoko creams available in the market you can also add them one , two or all what ever suits best.


All these creams are very cheap. The whole formula will cost you even less then 50$. Do give it a try. It a very small blog and am not being paid for any of the product i mentioned above nor I am selling anything. So if you are really looking for something that you can stick around for skin whitening and removing pimples......... do try this.
Just to be safe always apply on small portion of your wrist or back of the neck for some day regularly and see if your skin gives any reaction or anything. 

Good Luck....
