I find it interesting and like to share with my readers.&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;If you ever taken Painkillers, you must read this Article.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot; In UK alone 650 millions prescriptions are written every years, and the total cost has doubled in the last ten years to 7 Billion Sterling pound. The US annual drug bill is a staggering $200 billion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In UK $260 million sterling pound is spent each year on painkillers such as aspirin and paracetamol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Salicylic acid&lt;/span&gt;, the active ingredient in aspirin and other painkillers, is a gastrointestinal irritant, increasing the permeability of the gut wall. This in turn upsets the absorption of nutrients, allowing incompletely digested foods to pass into the bloodstream, alerting the immune system and triggering allergy responses to common food. In the long term, this &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;weakens the immune system, encourages inflammation and burns up vital vitamins and minerals needed for healthy immunity, as well as triggering intestinal bleeding.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The alternative is Paracetamol, of which 4 billion tablets are taken worldwide every year. While Paracetamol does not irritate the gut like aspirin, it is bad news for the Liver. As a result, in UK alone, &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;30,000 people a year end up in hospital&lt;/span&gt; as a result of taking paracetamol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1994 in UK, &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;115 paracetamol-related deaths were reported&lt;/span&gt;. According to Professor Sir David Carter of Edinburgh University, &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;1 in 10 liver transplants is made necessary because of damage caused by paracetamol overdose&lt;/span&gt;. While &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;20 paracetamol can kill you&lt;/span&gt;, even one is extra work for liver. If a person takes 6 a day and lacks the nutrients that help the liver to detoxify, this can reduce their ability to deal with other toxins such as alcohol. The combination of alcohol and paracetamol is very dangerous; &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Paracetamol produces a toxic&lt;/span&gt; by-product that can be broken down by the liver only if the body contains sufficient stores of the amino acid glutathione. If you run out, the result is trouble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many common drugs have direct or knock-on effects on your nutritional status. &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Antibiotics&lt;/span&gt;, for example, &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;wipe out the healthy gut bacteria&lt;/span&gt; that manufacture significant amount of B vitamins. They also pave the way for unfriendly bacteria to multiply, which increases the risk of infection, thereby &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;stressing the immune system&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; This can then lead to nutrient deficiency. Meanwhile the US national Institutes of Health estimated that more than 50,000 tons of antibiotics are used every year worldwide.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about it , have a second thought the next time you want to take a paracetamol or an antibiotics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;font-size:78%;&quot; &gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source - &quot;NEW Optimum Nutrition Bible - Patrick Holford&#39;s&quot;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nutritiona2z.blogspot.com/feeds/812354967124849662/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5102245899082801172&amp;postID=812354967124849662' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5102245899082801172/posts/default/812354967124849662'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5102245899082801172/posts/default/812354967124849662'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nutritiona2z.blogspot.com/2009/08/truth-about-painkillers-aspirin.html' title='Truth about Painkillers (Aspirin &amp; Paracetamol) and Antibiotics'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102245899082801172.post-3788539910370065470</id><published>2009-08-08T19:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-08T19:45:19.816-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Nutrition &amp; Food that increase your immue system</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Carotenoids&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The carotenoid vegetables are those which are yellow, orange, or red in color and contain carotenes, such as beta-carotene. Beta carotene increases the number of infection-fighting cells. Beta carotene is only one member of a large family. Researchers believe that it is not just beta carotene that produces all these good effects, but all the carotenoids working together. This is why getting carotenoids in food may be more cancer-protective than taking beta carotene supplements. You should eat at least five servings of fruit and vegetables each day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vitamin C&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sources:&lt;/b&gt; bell pepper, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, fruit juices, lemon juice, mustard greens, oranges, papaya, strawberries &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt; Foods with vitamin C increase the production of infection-fighting white blood cells and increase levels of interferon, the antibody that coats cell surfaces preventing the entry of viruses. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;padding: 0px 165px 0px 10px;&quot;&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Vitamin E&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sources:&lt;/b&gt; almonds, broccoli, chard, mustard greens, olives, papaya, sunflower seeds, turnip greens  &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Vitamin E stimulates the production of natural &quot;killer&quot; cells (cells that seek out and destroy germs and cancer cells). Vitamin E enhances the production of B-cells, the immune cells that produce antibodies that destroy bacteria. Vitamin E may also reverse some of the decline in immune response commonly seen in aging. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Vitamin B12&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sources:&lt;/b&gt; beef, halibut, lamb, milk, salmon, scallops, shrimp, snapper &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Vitamin B12 is central to immune processes because, without adequate B12, white blood cells can&#39;t mature and multiply. Folic acid also plays a key role in immune system development and maintenance. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Thiamine (B1)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sources:&lt;/b&gt; asparagus, cereals, pork, sunflower seeds, tuna &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Riboflavin (B2)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sources: &lt;/b&gt;asparagus, calf&#39;s liver, cereals, cranberries, mushrooms, romaine lettuce &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Niacin (B3)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sources: &lt;/b&gt;asparagus, chicken breast, cranberries, halibut, mushrooms, pork, salmon, tomato, tuna &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pyridoxine (B6)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sources:&lt;/b&gt; bell peppers, cauliflower, cranberries, mustard greens, tuna, turnips &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Folate&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sources: &lt;/b&gt;asparagus, beets, broccoli, calf&#39;s liver, lentils, parsley, romaine lettuce, spinach, turnip greens &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Zinc&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sources: &lt;/b&gt;oysters, mushrooms, meat, legumes &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;This valuable mineral increases the production and effectiveness of white blood cells that fight infection. Zinc also increases killer cells that fight against cancer and it helps white cells release more antibodies. Zinc also increases the number of infection-fighting T-cells, especially in elderly people, who are often deficient in zinc and whose immune system often weakens with age. The anti-infection hype around zinc is controversial. While some studies claim that zinc supplements in the form of lozenges can lower the incidence and severity of infections, other studies have failed to show this correlation. A word of caution: too much zinc (more than 75 milligrams a day) in the form of supplements&lt;br /&gt;can inhibit immune function.&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chromium&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sources:&lt;/b&gt; brewer&#39;s yeast, oysters, liver, onions, whole grains, bran cereals, tomatoes, potatoes &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt; Many people do not get enough chromium in their diet due to food processing methods that remove the naturally occurring chromium in commonly consumed foods.

From time to time, human infections do occur, resulting in H1N1 flu virus (human swine flu). H1N1 flu virus (human swine flu) is a respiratory illness that causes symptoms similar to those of the regular human seasonal flu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);&quot;&gt;Transmission&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, humans and animals can pass strains of flu back and forth to one another&lt;br /&gt;through direct close contact. When a swine influenza virus does affect a human, there is&lt;br /&gt;also a risk that the animal influenza can mutate and then spread directly between&lt;br /&gt;humans.&lt;br /&gt;More investigation is needed on how easily the virus spreads between people, but it is&lt;br /&gt;believed that it is spread the same way as regular seasonal influenza. Influenza and other respiratory infections are transmitted from person to person when germs enter the nose and/or throat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);&quot;&gt;Symptoms&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Symptoms include fever, fatigue, lack of appetite, coughing, and sore throat. Some&lt;br /&gt;people with H1N1 flu virus (human swine flu) have also reported vomiting and diarrhea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);&quot;&gt;Nutrition that helps to prevent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the flu virus is a respiratory disease, the first main organ that contact with the virus is our lung. Therefore not only it is important to increase our overall immune system, we should also pay more attention on how to increase the immune system of your lung.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&#39;s are the nutrition supplement that helps to fight the disease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 51);&quot;&gt;Main Nutrition&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 153, 0);&quot;&gt;Multi-Carotenoids (Vitamin A) &lt;/span&gt;-&lt;/span&gt; It helps to strengthens the immune system for  the nose, airways , throat &amp;amp; lung.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 153, 0);&quot;&gt;Vitamin C &lt;/span&gt;- &lt;/span&gt;It is a strong antioxidant that helps to boost the immune system to fight virus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 153, 0);&quot;&gt;Lecithin Vitamin E&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;- Vitamin E help to protect the lung and strengthens its function.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 0);&quot;&gt;Vitamin B Complex&lt;/span&gt; - Help the blood circulation thus enhances the function of the immune system and lung.  - It also help to calm nerves to reduce stress.

So what type of carbohydrates should we take, the truth about it is that they are all different. Some supply energy very quickly while others provide a slow, steady stream of energy. Therefore carbohydrates are classified by numbers between 1 and 100.  This is called the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_1&quot;&gt;glycemic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt; index (GI). Simple carbohydrate is high on the GI and gets into you system very quickly. Complex carbohydrate are generally lower on the GI and filter into your system more slowly.  Foods that are low on the GI list tend to keep your blood glucose level and give you a steady supply of energy. When your blood glucose is stable, you can run for a longer period of time. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may visit &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt; to find out the GI of the food that you consume.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;High GI foods on the other hand give your blood glucose a boast. This causes your body to release insulin which pulls the carbohydrate out of your bloodstream and your blood glucose dropped. For that reason, you should be eating low GI carbohydrate during your training periods. Low GI carbohydrate are also best for general health and weight maintenance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3  style=&quot;font-weight: normal; color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;A training marathon runner&lt;/span&gt; should be consuming a diet that is composed of about &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;65% carbohydrates - 25% protein – 10% fat&lt;/span&gt;. So what type of carbohydrates should we take? The fact about it is that they are different type of carbohydrates. Some supply energy very quickly while others provide a slow, steady stream of energy. Therefore carbohydrates are classified by numbers between 1 and 100. This is called the &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_2&quot;&gt;glycemic&lt;/span&gt; index (GI). Simple carbohydrate is high on the GI and gets into you system very quickly. Complex carbohydrate are generally lower on the GI and filter into your system more slowly.

Do not fast. You will need to replenish liver glycogen stores before your race. Some fats along with some low GI foods will also help keep your blood glucose stable. An example would be two pieces of whole grain toast with butter and a banana. Avoid high GI foods on race morning because it can cause your blood glucose to fall and you will end up using a very high percentage of liver glucose for energy early in the race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2  style=&quot;font-weight: normal; color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;During your race, you need to take in high GI foods, it will give you a fast energy boost.

Influenzavirus A includes only one species: &lt;i&gt;Influenza A virus&lt;/i&gt; which causes influenza in birds and some mammals. Strains of all subtypes of influenza A virus have been isolated from wild birds, although disease is uncommon. Some isolates of influenza A virus cause severe disease both in domestic poultry and, rarely, in humans. Occasionally viruses are transmitted from wild aquatic birds to domestic poultry and this may cause an outbreak or give rise to human influenza pandemics.&lt;p&gt; The main variants named using this convention are:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avian_influenza&quot; title=&quot;Avian influenza&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Bird flu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_flu&quot; title=&quot;Human flu&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Human flu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swine_flu&quot; title=&quot;Swine flu&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Swine flu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_flu&quot; title=&quot;Horse flu&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Horse flu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_flu&quot; title=&quot;Dog flu&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Dog flu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Swine influenza&lt;/b&gt; (also called &lt;b&gt;swine flu&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;hog flu&lt;/b&gt;, and &lt;b&gt;pig flu&lt;/b&gt;) refers to influenza caused by any strain of the influenza virus endemic in pigs (swine).

This feeling can be very uncomfortable. One of the main is due to poor digestion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the food are not digested properly in the stomach, it is broken down in the large intestine by the bacteria.&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Early stage of Pregnancy, the production of progesterone increases. Progesterone is sometimes called the &quot;hormone of pregnancy&quot;, it has many roles relating to the development of the fetus. When Progesterone relaxes the smooth muscle tissue throughout your body, including your gastrointestinal tract. As a result, it slows down the digestive process which can cause more wind and Bloating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the later stage of Pregnancy, your growing baby crowds your abdominal cavity, which can further slow digestion, and pushes on your stomach, making you feel even more bloated after eating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both heartburn and constipation are common during pregnancy, and you&#39;re more likely to develop them as your pregnancy progresses even if you&#39;ve never had them before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which foods are likely to cause wind and bloating? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The foods like beans, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and asparagus can cause wind. Some people can also have more wind due to food like onions, pears, artichokes, and fizzy drinks sweetened with the sugar fructose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some starches, such as pasta and potatoes, can give some people wind, and some fibre-rich foods (such as oat bran, beans and many fruits) cause wind because they&#39;re normally broken down in the large intestine. One exception is wheat bran, which passes through your system without getting broken down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please avoid oily, fatty or fried foods. They don&#39;t cause wind, but they can make you feel more bloated because they slow down digestion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;a name=&quot;8&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some pointers to relief this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;• Don&#39;t eat big, heavy meals. Eat several small meals throughout the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Take your time eating, don&#39;t gulp your food (and air) down, and chew thoroughly; this will help your body to digest your food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Reduce your intake of foods that tend to make digestive symptoms worse. Common culprits include certain vegetables, such as beans and broccoli (see above) but don&#39;t cut out vegetables altogether as they are an important part of a healthy diet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Sit up while you&#39;re eating or drinking, even if it&#39;s just a small snack, so that your stomach is not squashed up while you digest your food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Avoid products containing Sorbitol (certain chewing gums and slimming foods) as the slow absorption of this sweetener can contribute to bloating, wind and diarrhoea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Exercise - even a brisk walk can help your sluggish digestive tract.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Don&#39;t smoke&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Avoid fizzy drinks, beer and coffee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Wear loose, comfortable clothing; avoid any tightness around your waist and tummy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;___________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;Recommended ebook&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:180%;&quot;&gt;The Fit And Healthy Pregnancy Guide&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;A Holistic Fitness And Nutrition Guide For The Pre-natal Population!

Because of this, the breaking-down of some of the amino acid in our body cannot be completed. Since Vitamin B6 is easily destroy by heat while we cook the food, it is very difficult to meet our daily needs without taking supplement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the lack of B6, the amino acid will turn into another type of substance. which will affect the function of pancreas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the beginning, the pancreas will produce a lot of insulin. As we know. Insulin main job is to control the blood glucose from the blood to the cell. So when there is too much Insulin, too much glucose will be used up too quickly and it will cause us to get hungry easily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But as time pass, the ingredient used to produce the insulin will become deplete.

Furthermore, scientific tests have proven a its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases: Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 102, 255); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;METHOD OF TREATMENT &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water&lt;br /&gt;2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minutes&lt;br /&gt;3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.&lt;br /&gt;4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours&lt;br /&gt;5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.&lt;br /&gt;6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 153, 153);&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/reduce main diseases:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. High Blood Pressure - 30 days&lt;br /&gt;2. Gastric - 10 days&lt;br /&gt;3. Diabetes - 30 days&lt;br /&gt;4. Constipation - 10 days&lt;br /&gt;5. Cancer - 180 days&lt;br /&gt;6. TB - 90 days&lt;br /&gt;7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards - daily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This treatment method has &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;no side effects&lt;/span&gt;, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times. It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life. Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this &#39;sludge&#39; reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If required , it is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A serious note about heart attacks:&lt;br /&gt;Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting.&lt;br /&gt;Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nutritiona2z.blogspot.com/feeds/4939384965820302440/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5102245899082801172&amp;postID=4939384965820302440' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5102245899082801172/posts/default/4939384965820302440'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5102245899082801172/posts/default/4939384965820302440'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nutritiona2z.blogspot.com/2007/12/water-can-cure.html' title='Water can cure.'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102245899082801172.post-7612522245544532458</id><published>2007-12-03T16:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-09-08T22:14:11.548-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Your Urine Color tell your Health Status</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-WEIGHT: bold&quot;&gt;What is Urine?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Urine consists of water and dissolved waste material from what you have been drinking and eating. It also includes dead blood cells and other material the body wants to eliminate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The kidneys process the blood plasma, allowing water, sugars, vitamins, amino acids and other vital substances back into the bloodstream. They eliminate excess water, salts and minerals, as well as urea from protein digestion, uric acid, creatinine from muscle breakdown, hormone waste and toxins. Also eliminated is urochrome, which is a yellow pigment that comes from the processing of dead blood cells in the liver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The urochrome gives the urine a pale yellow color, which is its normal color.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the normal color of urine is pale yellow, variations can be an indication of health problems or be the result of certain foods that have been eaten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-WEIGHT: bold&quot;&gt;Clear urine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a person has been drinking an excess of water or diuretics such as coffee or beer, the urine may have little or no color. Typically, it is nothing to worry about if it happens occasionally.&lt;br /&gt;Excess sweating could result in the urine becoming a deeper yellow. Also, it is a sign that you have not been drinking enough liquids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-WEIGHT: bold&quot;&gt;Dark yellow urine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liver problems or jaundice can cause the urine to become consistently a dark yellow color. Be sure you have been drinking enough fluids before jumping to conclusions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-WEIGHT: bold&quot;&gt;Orange urine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People who eat too many carrots--like from a juicer--may see orange urine. Also, too much Vitamin C can turn the urine orange.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-WEIGHT: bold&quot;&gt;Brown urine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brown urine can an indication of a serious condition. It could be caused by liver disease, hepatitis, melanoma cancer, or copper poisoning. Other symptoms from those ailments should also be considered as indicators. But note that if you had recently eaten fava beans or taken a laxative, your urine also could turn brown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-WEIGHT: bold&quot;&gt;Greenish urine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A urinary tract infection, bile problems and certain drugs can cause the urine to turn greenish. A brighter green color is an indication of an excess of B vitamins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-WEIGHT: bold&quot;&gt;Blue urine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Urine with a bluish tint can be caused by a psuedomonas bacterial infection. It can also be an indication of high levels of calcium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-WEIGHT: bold&quot;&gt;Red urine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a number of things that can cause the urine to have a red tint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A small amount of blood in the urine can give it a red tint. Sometimes droplets of blood are seen. A bladder infection, kidney stones or bladder stones can result in urine with red in it. Also, a slight injury to the bladder or kidney can result in bleeding into the urine. Some professional boxers have been known to pass blood in their urine after a fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you see what looks like blood in your urine, it is a good idea to go to the doctor to check the condition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-WEIGHT: bold&quot;&gt;Food&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eating beets can result in reddish-purple urine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acidic urine will turn red after eating blackberries. Alkaline urine will look reddish after eating rhubarb. Whether your urine is acidic or alkaline is usually determined by other foods you have eaten.&lt;br /&gt;Candy or pills with a dye can temporarily turn the urine red.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-WEIGHT: bold&quot;&gt;Posion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lead or mercury poisoning can turn the urine reddish.
