Things You Didn’t Know About Hydrogen Water

These days, Hydrogen water is on the list of the biggest trends. Just like alkaline water, this water type offers a lot of health benefits.  Hydrogen water comes with some very interesting studies that have already been carried out and this is what makes it so widely acceptable.

So, What Is Hydrogen Water?

Hydrogen water is simply pure water with extra hydrogen molecules added to it. Hydrogen (H2) is the most abundant molecule in the universe. It’s an odourless, colourless, and tasteless gas. But only in 2007 did a team in Japan discover that inhaled hydrogen gas could act as an antioxidant and protect the brain from free radicals, find more information at myhicalmaids(dot)com. This sparked the interest in its potential health benefits worldwide and led to some breakthrough research.

The Complete and Powerful Colon and Body Cleanser

What is Colon or Colorectal Cancer?

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in both men and women, but mostly overlooked by everybody. Although it is slightly more common in men, 1 in every 24 women will be diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer at some point in her life.

The colon is part of the digestive system responsible in bringing waste materials from the small intestines to the rectum. It absorbs sodium and water from the waste after food passes through the intestines and then the waste is ready to be expulsed from your body. For the colon to perform its function effectively, it needs to be healthy otherwise negative impacts will be evident in food digestion and different other body processes that are essential. When toxins reach the colon from unhealthy drugs and foods, it may become clogged making it harder for it to function effectively. It is here that most people start experiencing bowel movement difficulties.

Here the 3 powerful methods that can help detoxify the whole body:

  • REFLEXOLOGY
  • DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS
  • FOOT PADS

The Overlooked Disease – Obesity in Children

New born children are all pretty, they have soft, pinkish skin, and they are chubby. There was a time when people believed that a fat child was a healthy child because they were born like this. While in the womb they accumulate a certain amount of fat to maintain their body temperature. For some reason or another someone decided that children should be chubby instead of thin.

This is not true, chubby or fat is not healthy, in fact it is dangerous.

 

Obesity in children is one of the fastest growing diseases worldwide today. Being an overweight child can contribute to many other health issues. Diseases, such as Hypertension and Diabetes, have been directly linked to Obesity. Other disorders, like Hypothyroidism and Asthma can also contribute to Obesity in children. If their thyroid gland is not functioning correctly, then their overall body functioning will be decreased. A Read the rest of this entry

How to Live Longer, Look Younger and Healthier

There are no right models yet a few models are helpful. At the end of the day, nothing is firm in science. Our comprehension develops constantly, and with that our general surroundings advances too. What’s more, I am not really saying that developing our understanding methods we see more. At some point we basically arrive at a point where we understand that we don’t get anything. What’s more, those can be essential focuses as they cause us to return to nuts and bolts and start from the very beginning once more.

So ageing, extending life and improving health (and looks!) at an old age… It seems science has gone right back to basics on this one. And there is one simple principle that emerges time and again with every study on longevity:

EAT LESS

Presently, there are two principle approaches to eating less. Assume you choose lessening your caloric admission down to X calories every day. (NB: I don’t have the foggiest idea the amount X ought to be for you – that will rely upon body weight, physical effort, and so forth.) One approach to eat those X calories day by day is appropriate them all through the whole day over incessant yet little bit dinners. On the other hand, you can eat a similar measure of calories during a 8 hour window (for example eat less yet greater suppers) and quick for 16 hours. The last system is called discontinuous fasting and the logical writing right now says that that is the best approach, in the event that you need to live more, look better and feel more advantageous.

What you should know about Diabetes and Liver Disease

Diabetes is a serious metabolic disorder and it has reached epidemic proportions globally. This disease happens as a result of insulin resistance in the body.

A recent study at Université de Genève says that insulin imbalance may not be the only reason behind diabetes. Researchers say that obesity also promotes resistance to insulin and is major risk factor.

According to them, the liver can also contribute to the onset of this disease by producing a significant amount of glucose outside of any hormonal signal. And, if a person is obese, this excess production of glucose may cause type 2 diabetes.

The Journal of Biological Chemistry published this study.

FATTY LIVER CAN ALSO CAUSE DIABETES: STUDY

Glucose levels in blood are regulated by two antagonistic hormones. The hormone insulin lowers blood glucose level and the hormone glucagon increases it. The liver regulates blood sugar levels by producing and redistributing glucose under the influence of these two hormones. Obese people are at risk of developing insulin resistance and they also have a tendency to accumulate fat in liver cells. Fat in the liver gives rise to fatty liver disease. This causes an alteration in the morphology and structure of mitochondria, the cells energy sources. Researchers say that these changes can have an effect on mitochondrial function. In the study, they sought to find a connection between liver cell mitochondria, obesity and diabetes. They focused on a protein called OPA1 which maintains the structure of mitochondria.

GOUT: What to Eat, What to Avoid, How to Prevent

Gout is a type of arthritis that involves sudden pain, swelling and inflammation of the joints. It happens when there is too much uric acid in the blood, causing it to deposit in the joints as crystals. Nearly half of gout cases affect the big toes, while other cases affect the fingers, wrists, knees and heels.

Gout symptoms or “attacks” occur when there is too much uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is a waste product made by the body when it digests certain foods. When uric acid levels are high, crystals of it can accumulate in your joints. This process triggers swelling, inflammation and intense pain. Gout attacks typically occur at night and last 3–10 days.

Most people who have the condition experience these symptoms because their bodies can’t remove the excess uric acid efficiently. This lets uric acid accumulate, crystallize and settle in the joints.

If you have gout, certain foods may trigger an attack by raising your uric acid levels. Trigger foods are commonly high in purines, a substance found naturally in foods. When you digest purines, your body makes uric acid as a waste product. Read the rest of this entry
