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

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.

Is My Cell Phone Dangerous To My Health? What You Don’t Know About Electromagnetic Fields Radiation

It’s hard to ignore a headline like Salon’s “Your cell phone is killing you”: it’s exactly the kind of worry that clickbait wet dreams are made of. Basically everyone cares about not being dead, and basically everyone has a cell phone. Cell phones, amongst other devices and the power grid itself, generate electromagnetic fields (EMF) which emit electromagnetic radiation (EMR). What’s the actual evidence that EMR is dangerous?

Because it would be unethical to experiment on humans directly, the evidence cited in “Your cellphone is killing you” comes from natural experiments — times when people were, in the course of their ordinary lives, exposed to different amounts of electromagnetic radiation. The evidence, though provisional, is disturbing: EMR (as from cellphone usage or living near a power line) seems to correlate with increased incidence of cancer, infertility, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

Per our article on medical conspiracies, 20 percent of Americans believe that the government has full knowledge that cell phones can cause cancer, but they’re not taking action because large corporations won’t let them. So it doesn’t take much for the media to rile everyone up over this again. It’s true that the Federal Communications Commission last year “officially opened an inquiry into whether U.S. standards need to be updated to protect people from cell phone radiation,” and that this action was somewhat delayed — but no surprise there, because the government is slow at everything.

Dr. Blank, the author of “Your cellphone is killing you,” is a real academic scientist, not a conspiracy theorist. He is right to worry that Big Electronic’s commercial interests are conflicting with research-based public safety recommendations. I’m glad that Dr. Blank and his esteemed colleagues are hard at work figuring out this corner of the natural world. But as a private individual who has virtually no control over industry or government, I have a difficult time getting overly excited about what EMR might potentially do to me, maybe, after decades of exposure.

7 Essential Vitamins You Need After Age 40

If you are a man over 40, you need adequate amounts of vitamins A, C, D, E, K, and the B-complex vitamins to help maintain optimal health. Your body needs them for proper organ and muscle growth, digestion and nerve function. If you take nutritional supplements, read labels to make sure that they do not provide more than the Institute of Medicine’s established tolerable upper limits, or ULs, to ensure safety and maximum benefits.

Think of vitamins and nutrients as an army that will fight off age-related ailments. And the best way to build this army is by eating a healthy, well-rounded diet, says Kristin Kirkpatrick, MS, RD, manager of wellness nutrition programs at the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute. While it’s always important to eat well, it becomes especially essential around age 40 because that’s when the rules start to change, she says.

“Your body probably isn’t working the same way at 40-plus as it was at 20,” she says. Muscle mass starts to deteriorate, we’re much more likely to put on weight, menopause may (or may soon) start, and risk of chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes begins to increase—which means your battle plan needs to start looking a little different.

One solution is getting enough of the right vitamins and nutrients, which is possible through healthy eating—and food sources are typically (but not always) a better bet than supplements because they’re better absorbed, Kirkpatrick says. Below are the key nutrients to look out for and the best ways to get them. Read the rest of this entry
