Zinc Deficiency Linked to Prostate Enlargement - 0 views

  •  
    (NaturalNews) Zinc is an integral part of the male hormonal system, and a primary part of the semen. It plays a major role in the production of sperm. Studies also reveal that Zinc Deficiency may be a cause of Prostate Enlargement.\n\nAs men age into their 50s and older, there is a natural decline in zinc. A zinc deficiency can lead to prostate enlargement, as well as a number of other male problems including impotency. This is because the prostate tissues are highly dependent on zinc to maintain its health and integrity. Zinc increases sperm count and sperm motility. High zinc levels also mean lower levels of estrogen and prolactin thereby reducing the risk of prostate disease.

  •  
    NaturalNews) Researchers from Oxford University and the University of British Columbia have discovered that Vitamin D deficiency affects a section of the human genome already linked with multiple sclerosis (MS) risk, adding further weight to theories that this vitamin deficiency might play a role in development of the disease.

Vitamin K2 and coronary plaque - Wellsphere - 0 views

  •  
    The vitamin K2 story, though still preliminary, is becoming increasingly interesting from the perspective of CT heart score reduction. The origin of this concept came from some unexpected observations. One, the observation that osteoporosis (lack of bone calcium that leads to fractures) arises from deficiency of vitamin K2. Two, deficiency of K2 leads to unrestrained calcium deposition in animal models, leading to heart attack in just weeks.

  •  
    A diet deficient in omega 3 fats is known to cause impaired vision both in animals and people. That is because omega 3 fats are essential for the functioning of the nerve tissues in the brain and since the retina is an extension of the brain, it goes without saying that a deficiency of omega 3 fatty acids will have an effect in the way we see things.

The Heart Scan Blog: Cheese and vitamin K2 - 0 views

  •  
    If you've been following the Track Your Plaque conversation, you know that, contrary to prevailing opinion among many cardiologists, there is an emerging notion that coronary calcification is an active process, a true part of the disease. Vitamin D3 is an important aspect of this question. So is vitamin K2. Not to be confused with K1 that plays a role in blood coagulation, K2 has an important role in calcium metabolism. Thus, vitmain K2 deficiency is related to osteoporosis and to coronary calcification.

Vitamin and Mineral Supplements - 0 views

  •  
    In today's fast paced world, we sometimes do not eat a proper diet all of the time. Even celebrity Chef's like Jamie Oliver is highlighting this issue. He is presently going round to schools and towns trying to teach people how to cook healthy food. On one of his shows on Discovery Channel, he was at this town that had this one parent whose three year old child has never had a nutritious home cooked meal. On a Bill Cosby's Show "Kids Say The Darndest Things", when he asked a kid who cooks his meals at home the kid answers "Pizza Hut". Sad but true. Nowadays since both parents are working to make ends meet, they often resort to fast food to fill their family's tummies. Same goes with us, to keep up with the rat race we just pop whatever we can get into our tummies. So in order to acquire sufficient vitamins to help your body overcome nutritional deficiencies to function properly, you should compensate with natural vitamin supplements. Vitamins are organic components in food that are needed in very small amounts for growth and for maintaining good health. Growing up as a skinny kid, my parents made sure I had my Vitamin Supplements. They tried everything to get some flesh on this bag of bones. Then a doctor told them not too worries as long as I'm a healthy kid. I still took multivitamins. Nowadays I take a herbal supplement called spirulina. So far I have found Spirulina to be good for me; it helps to keep my toxins in my body to a minimum. I don't feel very tired in the morning.
