Thyme oil can inhibit COX2 and suppress inflammation - 1 views

  •  
    "ScienceDaily (Jan. 13, 2010) - For those who do not drink, researchers have found that six essential oils -from thyme, clove, rose, eucalyptus, fennel and bergamot -- can suppress the inflammatory COX-2 enzyme, in a manner similar to resveratrol, the chemical linked with the health benefits of red wine. They also identified that the chemical carvacrol was primarily responsible for this suppressive activity."

A Balanced Diet - 12 views

  •  
    The amount of energy to be provided by a balanced diet for any person will depend on several factors: age, sex, body size, lifestyle, occupation, and the climate of the area he is in. The proportion of the various food classes in a diet is also not the same for different persons, due to varying physical and physiological requirements..

    Good info, thanks. I know that nutrition plays a great role, but why people still need to be on a diet to lose weight if they can just change their nutrition?
  •  
    Well, people go on a diet because they want to lose weight faster. Moreover, their bodies are not ready for immediate nutritional changes, and it is not good for their health. Following the diet, they prepare their guts for a new amount of food. I personally have just finished a 7-day cucumber-based diet https://betterme.world/articles/7-day-cucumber-based-diet/ and I'm more than happy with the result. But of course, nutritionists suggest that a lifestyle change is more efficient and healthy.

Try to eat in just one place at home - and one at work. Sit down at a table and don't read or watch TV. You will gradually weaken your wide range of eating triggers and only want to eat in the 'proper place'.

    amazing post

    Nutrition plays a great role. This is the first thing to pay attention to if you want to lose weight, keep fit, or just stay healthy. As for supplements and vitamins, I'm sure that it is better to do a blood test at first. Also, you can check info about them on the Online Pharmacy site https://www.canadadrugsdirect.com/online-pharmacy. Otherwise, address your doctor.

Blueberry juice enhances memory in older adults - Life Extension Update - 1 views

  •  
    In an article published online on January 4, 2010 in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Robert Krikorian of the University of Cincinnati, along with his colleagues from the US and Canadian Departments of Agriculture, report that consuming blueberry juice was associated with improvements in learning and memory in individuals with age-related memory decline. The trial enrolled five men and four women over the age of 70 who reported forgetfulness and memory lapses characteristic of early memory decline. Participants were given the equivalent of 2 to 2 ½ cups of a commercially available blueberry juice daily for 12 weeks. Cognitive assessments were conducted at the beginning of the study and during the final week of the trial. At the study's conclusion, learning and recall were improved, and depressive symptoms and glucose levels tended to be reduced. When subjects who received blueberry juice were compared with a demographically matched sample who received a placebo beverage in a companion trial, test scores for learning ability were significantly better.

Beyond Vegetarianism--Raw Food, Vegan, Fruitarian, Paleo Diets - 0 views

  •  
    The material presented on this site comes from individuals with years of hard-won experience either practicing alternative diets or observing those who do. As you'll find, no two writers will necessarily agree on all topics. A unifying theme, however, is the intent to squarely acknowledge and discuss the sometimes serious problems that can occur on alternative diets but often go unreported, and to go beyond the simplistic dogmas readily available elsewhere--in fact almost everywhere--to "explain them away." A sense of admirable idealism is often a motivating factor encouraging people to take responsibility for their own health and to explore different diets. However, the development of emotional attachments to philosophies underlying such diets can often end up becoming far more important for some individuals than the results they obtain--or fail to. One result has been widespread refusal in the alternative diet community to face health and behavioral problems that may arise on these diets. A common thread in what you'll read here is that a kind of subjective, "blinded naturalism" has become more or less endemic in the vegetarian, raw-food, and alternative diet movements, which can lead to serious health troubles.

Clin Endocrinol (Oxf). 2006 Nov;65(5):593-7. PMID: 17054459 CONCLUSIONS: Hypovitaminosis D is highly prevalent in type 2 diabetic adults and is strongly and independently associated with increased carotid IMT. Further investigation into whether vitamin D may play a role in the prevention of atherosclerosis appears to be warranted.
