Chronic and Degenerative Diseases

Chronic and Degenerative diseases like coronary artery diseases, cancer, stroke diabetes, arthritis’s etc are causing a serious health problem in this twenty first century.  What is role of nutritional supplements in chronic and degenerative diseases?  READ MORE.....

The Oxygen Paradox

The fresh air carries a lot of oxygen into your lungs. Your lungs transfer this oxygen into the blood stream. That oxygen is carried by the blood stream to all cells into your body. Inside the cell this oxygen generates energy and life itself.  Oxygen is essential for humans and all true aerobic creatures.  The oxygen we inhale oxidizes food and converts their energy into ATP.  This is the bright side of oxygen.  READ MORE.....

Health - Causes of Free Radicals

Free radicals are naturally produced in our body.  Chemical reactions occurring in our body leads to the production of free radicals.  Another cause is our immune system; they create free radicals to fight off diseases.  A free radical is any atom or molecule with one or more unpaired electron.  The free radical missing an electron is, highly unstable and reactive.  The net effect of free radical is almost always net oxidation.  READ MORE.....

 Health – Oxidative Stress

Human body is made up of different organs like heart, lungs, muscles, skin etc.  The smallest building units of organs are specialized cells.  Due to the damages caused to these cells we grew old.  The damage to the cells of the vital organs eventually leads to death.  These damages are inflicted by free radicals.  The free radicals attack cell walls making holes leading to chemical imbalance.  Free radicals also cause damage to parts of cells such as proteins, DNA and cell membrane by stealing their electrons through a process called oxidation.  That is why free radical damage also called oxidative damage.  READ MORE.....

Health – Antioxidant

God has blessed us with the best defense mechanism in our body against free radicals. What free radicals need is an electron donor. Any substance that has an ability to give up an electron to free radical is an “antioxidant”. Antioxidant can neutralize free radical and render them harmless.  Antioxidants donate one of their own electron; ending the electron stealing reaction.  In this manner antioxidants can prevent free radical damage.  Our body has the ability to produce antioxidants.  READ MORE.....

Antioxidant Enzyme

Our body comprise of endogenous defense mechanism to protect against free radical induced damages.  The antioxidant enzymes – Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Glutathione Peroxidase, Catalases (CAT); metabolize oxidative toxic intermediates.  These enzymes also require co-factors such as Selenium, Iron, Copper, Zinc and Manganese for optimum catalytic activity.  READ MORE.....

Hi-tech Defense

In spite of this antioxidant defense system the free radicals will damage lipids, proteins, Cell walls, vessel walls and even DNA nucleus of the cell. Thanks to God almighty the true healer for creating us with built in hi-tech defense system inside our body.  READ MORE.....

The Anti-ageing Strategy

Ageing is a process where damage happens to the cell and organism with the passage of time.  In the ageing mechanism of our body; organs, tissues and cells are subjected to a variety of destructive forces from external environment as well as inside our body even molecular level.  READ MORE....

Healthy Food

Health is broadly defined as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.  A healthy food is another important step towards healthy life.  Healthy food comprises of natural foods, organic foods, whole foods and sometimes dietary supplements.  READ MORE.....

Exercise

Regular exercise is good for health; moderate amount of activity performed three to five days per week can improve your strength, hearts health, one’s mood, memory, to learn and reduce the risk of heart disease.  READ MORE..... 

Nutritional Supplement

Nutritional supplements provide nutrients which our body is not getting from normal food we consume.  Nutrients are chemicals that an organism needs to live and grow.   READ MORE.....

Sleep

In addition to diet and exercise, sleep is very important for a healthy life style.  Sleep affects both mental and physical health.  READ MORE.....

Spirituality

Spirituality is not a religious belief or faith, it is an experience.  Spiritual experience can be based on the culture and belief one grows up or some unique experience, with or without religious belief or faith.  READ MORE.....
