VITAMIN GUIDE

Vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9  

A vitamin is a biological enzyme or its co-factor.
A biological enzyme is a molecule that enhances the speed of a specific biochemical reaction, in the human body, 1 million times! The enzyme itself is not consumed in the process. 
The biological enzyme acts as an template upon which the reacting molecules attach briefly, before being converted to chemical products. 
For such a biochemical reaction to take place, another molecule or atom called a co-factor is usually also required. 
The co-factors in biochemical enzymatic reactions may be vitamins or ions of one of the basic elements, e. g. ions of zinc, copper, iron, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, iodine, or selenium. 
The basic elements may form crystals, i. e. aggregates of identical ions (atoms) forming a grid according to their specific chemical properties. Such an aggregate is called a mineral.
Both vitamins and minerals are necessary for the body to function properly. If your body does function properly, it means that it has received all the necessary vitamins and minerals.Sicknesses, diseases, or bodily injuries which won't heal may be a result of deficiencies in one or more vitamins or minerals. There is a whole catalogue of diseases that arises from vitamin or mineral deficiency. 
It is a fact that a proportion of people with incurable diseases or bodily injuries may get well, simply by taking one single supplement pill of vitamins and minerals per day.

Vitamin A
Vitamin A (retinol) is a fat-soluble molecule that is important for the vision, a healthy development of the fetus, normal growth, the immune system, the mucus membrane, and the skin.
Sources of vitamin A are:
egg, 
liver,
broccoli,
carrots,
spinach,
paprika, 
green vegetables,
whole milk,
butter,
cheese,
fat fish (e.g. tuna, salmon, trout)

For the vitamin-A molecule to function properly, (the co-factor) zink is necessary. Sources of dietary zink is:

liver,
milk,
cheese,
nuts,
seeds,
grains,
legumes (peas, beans),


VITAMIN B1 
Vitamin B1 (thiamin) is one of the eight water-soluble Vitamin Bs.
All living organisms need B1. All animals must obtain it from their diet. (Bacteria, fungi, and plants, synthesize their own B1.) 
Under normal circumstances, the human body contains about 30 milligrams (mg) of B1. 
However, B1 is water-soluble and, therefore, cannot be retained by the body for a long time (as compared to fat-soluble vitamins). Because of this, a daily supply of Vitamin B1 is warranted.
In cells, vitamin B1 is necessary for the convertion of carbohydrates (different sugars and starches) into the sugar glucose. Under normal circumstances, glucose is the sole fuel used by the brain.
In nerve and brain cells, B1 participates in the processes of signalling and memory. Over time, B1 deficiency may lead to beriberi.
Beriberi is a disease characterized by the loss of neural function.
Beriberi occurs primarily when people depend on (white) polished rice for most of their food. Polished rice lacks the seed coat (bran) of the rice, in which most of the B1 is present.
Most important natural sources of B1:

Milk
Whole grains
legumes (peas, beans)
Pork


Vitamin B2
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is one of the eight water-soluble vitamin Bs. Vitamin B2 is especially important as precursor for co-factors (FAD and FMN), participating in the energy metabolism of the body, including the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
In addition to energy mtabolism, B2 is important for a proper functioning of the nervous system, vision, normal growth, the skin, nails, and hair. 

Natural sources:
milk,
cheese,
liver,
kidneys,
legumes,
yeast,
meat

Symptoms of deficiency:
In humans, signs and symptoms of B2 (riboflavin) deficiency include cracked and red lips, inflammation of the lining of mouth and tongue, mouth ulcers, cracks at the corners of the mouth, and a sore throat. 
A deficiency may also cause dry and scaling skin, fluid in the mucous membranes, and iron-deficiency anemia. The eyes may also become bloodshot, itchy, watery and sensitive to bright light.
Riboflavin deficiency is classically associated with the oral-ocular-genital syndrome. Angular cheilitis, photophobia, and scrotal dermatitis are the classic remembered signs.
Vitamin B2 deficiency directly affects a person's energy level. 
Don't forget that vitamins and minerals are relatively cheap in the form of supplements (pills). If you are looking for supplements, look for quality brands.


VITAMIN B3 
The vitamin B3 (niacin or nicotinic acid) is one of the eight water-soluble vitamin Bs. The human liver can synthesize one milligram niacin from 60 milligrams tryptophan, present in proteins. 
Both of the two molecules niacin (present in many dietary supplements) and nicotinamide are considered vitamin B3. And, both molecules are convertible to the co-factors NAD and NADP (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate).
The co-factors NAD and NADP transfer electrons from one molecule to another. These electrons are basically the same type as electrons in an electric current. This internal transfer of energy from food molecules is very important for the body's energy supply.
The NAD molecule is important in catabolism (consumption) of fat, carbohydrate, protein, and alcohol, as well as cell signaling and DNA repair.
The NADP molecule is important in anabolism (production) reactions such as fatty acid synthesis and cholesterol synthesis (which is part of the synthesis of some hormones).
Together, co-factors NAD and NADP participate in about 150 different biochemical reactions.
Body parts with high energy requirements (e.g. the brain, working muscles) or body parts with high turnover rate (like the rapid replacement of the epidermal cells of the skin and the inside of intestines) are usually most susceptible to B3 deficiency.
B3 is important for the repair of DNA (the hereditary material) in cells. This ability may be important in the body's natural ability to avoid cancer. 
The most important natural sources:
meat (cow, chicken)
egg,
milk,
legumes (peas, beans),
wholemeal bread

Too little niacin in the diet can cause nausea, skin and mouth lesions, anemia, headaches, and tiredness. 

Maize (corn) is low in B3 content.

Chronic niacin deficiency leads to a disease called pellagra. It is characterized by diarrhea, dermatitis, and dementia, as well as lesions on the lower neck, hyperpigmentation, thickening of the skin, inflammation of the mouth and tongue, digestive disturbances, amnesia, delirium, and eventually death, if left untreated.

Niacin in dietary supplements should not exceed 32 milligrams (mg) per day.

Vitamin B4: 
Vitamin B4 (adenine, a nucleobase) is NOT considered a true vitamin because it is synthesized by the human body, itself.
Hence, it is usually not present i dietary supplements.

VITAMIN B5
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid or pantothenate) is one of the eight water-soluble vitamin Bs. Pantothenic acid is part of coenzyme A (CoA), which is absolutely necessary in the human energy metabolism.
Also, pantothenic acid is important in processes involving the production of cholesterol, bile salts and hormones.
The name pantothenic acid is derived from Greek pantothen (πάντοθεν), which means "from everywhere." This name (which has nothing to do with its chemical properties) signalizes that small quantities of pantothenic acid are found in nearly every food. Therefore, deficiancy in vitamin B5 is very rare.
Most important natural sources:
meat,
liver,
kidneys,
egg,
whole grains (with seed coat)
vegetables (broccoli, avocado)

The recommended limit for pantothenic acid in dietary supplements is 15 milligrams (mg) per day. The recommended amount in dietary supplements is only 5 milligrams (mg) per day.

VITAMIN B6
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is one of the eight water-soluble vitamin Bs. After absorption, the pyridoxine molecule is converted into its active form, pyridoxal phosphate (PLP), which is a cofactor.
The molecule PLP is a cofactor in many enzymatic reactions. Enzymatic reactions cannot proceed without the enzyme and its cofactor. Both is necessary for the reaction, but neither is consumed in the process. 
The PLP molecule is important in a number of reactions including neurotransmitter synthesis, histamine synthesis, hemoglobin synthesis, gene expression, and the release of glucose from glycogen.
The liver is where all these reactions take place. Hence, the liver is a very important organ. Consumption of too much alcohol over prolonged periods of time not only kill brain cells; it destroys cells in the liver as well.
Neurotransmitters are the molecules transmitting nerve impulses from nerve cells to the brain.
The histamine molecule is involved in the inflammatory response (bacterial and non-bacterial), e.g. when a wound occurs. It plays an important part in the body's reaction towards tissue damage.
This makes B6 a very important vitamin. In the case of an injury or bacterial infection (damaging cells), B6 is warranted for the repair of that damage. This is one very important function of PLP.
PLP is necessary in the synthesis of the body's oxygen carrier, the hemoglobin molecule, present in red blood cell.
Also, PLP is necessary for the synthesis of glucose from the body's own carbohydrate reserve, glycogene (present in muscles and in the liver).
In addition, PLP is necessary in the energy metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates, making these categories of molecules available as fuel.

Most important natural sources:
liver,
egg,
poultry,
fish,
grains

The recommended upper limit for vitamin B6 in dietary supplements are 25 milligrams (mg). 

VITAMIN B7
Vitamin B7 (biotin) is one of eight water-soluble vitamin Bs. Biotin act as a cofactor in enzymatic reactions (see article: A vitamin is a biological enzyme or its cofactor).
Biotin is important in fatty acid synthesis, amino acid catabolism, and gluconeogenesis.
Fatty acid synthesis is the body's own production or modification of fatty acids for its own use. The body has the ability to convert excess sugars into fat, storing it in cells specialized for fat storage. Also, the body utilizes modified fatty acids as the components of cell membranes. All cell membranes are largely made up of modified fatty acids.
Amino acid catabolism refers to the consumption of amino acids for energy or other purposes. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. All proteins are made from long chains (series) of amino acids.
Gluconeogenesis refers to the synthesis (production) of the sugar molecule glucose from lactate (lactic acid) and other non-carbohydrates. The body synthesizes lactic acid from glucose when performing rather intense physical tasks (high intensity). By pathway of gluconeogenesis the lactic acid (lactate) molecule is converted back to glucose, making it available for the body once more.
Biotin deficiency is rare because, usually (but not always), intestinal bacteria produce biotin in excess of the body's daily requirements. For that reason, health agencies in many countries do not prescribe a recommended daily intake of biotin.
However, pregnancy and lactation (breast feeding) may be associated with an increased demand for biotin. Several studies have reported that possible biotin deficiency during pregnancy may cause cleft palate (or other birth defects). 
Embryos, fetuses and infants are more sensitive to biotin deficiency. Therefore, even a small reduction in a pregnant (or breast feeding) mother's biotin levels may cause a serious consequence in the fetus (or infant).
Smoking and drinking seem to reduce biotin levels, making extra intake necessary.
The daily consumption of two or more raw eggs may reduce biotin levels.
Biotin is often recommended as a dietary supplement for strengthening hair and nails, though scientific data supporting this outcome are weak. Nevertheless, biotin is found in many cosmetics and health products for the hair and skin.
Deficiency symptoms in adults are usually mild.

Sources of vitamin B7 (biotin):
egg, 
liver,
kidneys,
avocado,
maize (corn),
leafy green vegetables,
brown rice,
According to the British Food Standard Agency (FSA) a safe and sufficient daily intake from dietary supplements may be in the range of 10 to 200 micrograms (µg). 

VITAMIN B8
Vitamin B8 (inositol) is not considered one of the eight water-soluble vitamin Bs.
This molecule is produced in sufficient amounts by the body itself.

VITAMIN B9
Vitamin B9 (folic acid or folate) is one of the eight water-soluble vitamin Bs. In the body, folic acid is modified to the molecule tetrahydrofolic acid (THF).
THF is important in the synthesis and repair of DNA (the hereditary material). It is especially important in rapid cell division and growth, such as in infancy and pregnancy. Children and adults both require folic acid to produce healthy red blood cells, thereby preventing anemia.
The prominent role of the products of THF in DNA metabolism is crucial to almost all types of cell division. Therefore, THF is especially important during pregnancy, infancy, and childhood, when cell divison is particulaily rapid and pronounced. 
Of utmost importance is the cell divisions taking place immediately after the fertilization of the egg. When the fertilized egg (zygote) is proceeding to cell division (dividing into 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 cells etc.) it is absolutely necessary for these cells (called the embryo) to contain THF.
The name folic acid derives from the Latin word folium, meaning leaf. The biochemists who discovered this vitamin molecule, in the 20th century, first found it in leafy green vegetables.

Most important natural sources:
spinach, broccoli, asparagus (leafy green vegetables),
egg yolk
avocado
liver,
kidney 
peas

Folic-acid deficiency may result in many health problems. The most notable one being neural tube defects in developing embryos. 

PREGNANCY
Adequate folate (folic acid) intake during the preconception period (which is the time right before a woman becomes pregnant) helps protect against a number of defects, including neural tube defects, which are the most notable birth defect that occurs from folate deficiency.
Neural tube defects are severe abnormalities of the central nervous system that develop in the fetus during the first few weeks of pregnancy, resulting in malformations of the spine, skull, and brain. The most common neural tube defects are spina bifida and anencephaly (without brain).
The risk of neural tube defects is significantly reduced when supplemental folic acid is consumed in addition to a healthy diet before conception and during the first month after conception. Supplementation with folic acid has also been shown to reduce the risk of heart defects at birth, cleft lips, limb defects, and urinary tract anomalies.
Folate deficiency during pregnancy may also increase the risk of subfertility (decreased fertility or infertility), fetal growth retardation, spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, pregnancy complications (such as placental abruption: the release of the placenta from the uterus), and low birth weight.
Women who could become pregnant are advised to eat foods with folic acid or take supplements in addition to eating folate-rich foods, before pregnancy, in order to reducing the risk of serious birth defects. 
Folic acid supplements may also protect the fetus against disease when the mother is battling a disease or taking medications or smoking during pregnancy.
Taking 400 micrograms (µg) of synthetic folic acid daily from foods and/ or supplements has been suggested for all non-pregnant women, in order to have adequate folic acid intake, even in case of unplanned pregnancies.
400 micrograms (µg) may be obtained from food by eating about 400 grams of the above mentioned food, every day.

Ginger Facts

Here are the benefits of ginger:


1. Ginger has carminative properties (anti spasmic) and can be used to calm in upset stomach, providing relief for the relief of bloating and gas (gastritis).

2. The intake of ginger helps stimulate the secretion of mucus, quieting your cough and soothing any scratchiness in your throat.

3. Ginger has been proven (in multiple studies) to treat feelings of nausea, particularly in the form of seasickness, morning sickness, motion sickness and as a side effect of chemotherapy.

4. Ginger contains anti viral, anti toxic, and anti fungal properties, and is used for the prevention of and treatment against the common cold.

5. Ginger acts as an antihistamine and aids in the treatment of allergies.

6. Ginger displays anti inflammatory properties and can be used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and various other muscular disorders. The chemical components of the root are instrumental in inhibiting the biosynthesis of prostaglandins which are responsible for causing inflammation. Thus the root has proven to be a highly effective form of treatment, in some cases, even more so than the NSAID's that are traditionally prescribed.

7. Ginger contains special enzymes responsible for catalyzing the proteins in your food, thus aiding in digestion and the prevention of cramps. The ancient Greeks used to eat ginger after a large meal in order to ease the digestion process.

8. Due to its promotion of mucus secretion, ginger protects against the development of ulcers, unwanted holes in the lining of your stomach.

9. Ginger has proven to help lower your cholesterol levels and prevent the formation of blood clots.

10. Ginger is often used to settle an upset stomach or treat severe stomach ailments such as dyspepsia or colic. It is frequently used today in developing countries to treat diarrhea.

Aloe Vera: Plant of Immortality

The aloe vera miracle: A natural medicine for cancer, cholesterol, diabetes, inflammation, IBS, and other health conditions... 



When I say aloe vera is the most impressive medicinal herb invented by nature, (Garlic would be a close second.) There is nothing on this planet that offers the amazing variety of healing benefits granted by aloe vera. In a single plant, aloe vera offers potent, natural medicine that:


• Halts the growth of cancer tumors.
• Lowers high cholesterol.
• Repairs "sludge blood" and reverses "sticky blood".
• Boosts the oxygenation of your blood.
• Eases inflammation and soothes arthritis pain.
• Protects the body from oxidative stress.
• Prevents kidney stones and protects the body from oxalates in coffee and tea.
• Alkalizes the body, helping to balance overly acidic dietary habits.
• Cures ulcers, IBS, Crohn's disease and other digestive disorders.
• Reduces high blood pressure natural, by treating the cause, not just the symptoms.
• Nourishes the body with minerals, vitamins, enzymes and glyconutrients.
• Accelerates healing from physical burns and radiation burns.
• Replaces dozens of first aid products, makes bandages and antibacterial sprays obsolete.
• Halts colon cancer, heals the intestines and lubricates the digestive tract.
• Ends constipation.
• Stabilizes blood sugar and reduces triglycerides in diabetics.
• Prevents and treats candida infections.
• Protects the kidneys from disease.
• Functions as nature's own "sports drink" for electrolyte balance, making common sports drinks obsolete.
• Boosts cardiovascular performance and physical endurance.
• Speeds recovery from injury or physical exertion.
• Hydrates the skin, accelerates skin repair.

Truly, there is nothing else that compares to the medicinal potential of aloe vera. And yet most people only know about the topical applications of aloe vera gel. They think it's only good for sunburns. In reality, aloe vera is useful for both external and internal use

CLEAN THE LUNGS IN 3 DAYS

Many people live their lives with healthy lungs and always fall prey to respiratory problems, and others smoke for 45 years, and there are still.

Not bring more mysteries than a regime of 3 days to give your lungs cleaning need. These steps will help.
It eliminates all dairy products two days before starting to clean. Dairy products may interfere with the detoxification process, since they are slowly digested by the body. The body must rid of toxins from dairy products much before starting to clean the lungs.
Drink 1 cup of herbal laxative tea before going to bed the night before the first day of regime. This frees the system of toxins in the intestines that may tend to begin a constipation. The lungs must not be overloaded work with locks in any part of the body during cleaning.
Squeeze 2 whole lemons in 300 milliliters of water before breakfast. This will prepare you to digest alkalizing foods that help the lungs to regenerate.
Drinking 300 milliliters of juice of grapefruit in the snack. If you don't like the taste of the juice, mix it with a bottle of mineral water or replace it with pineapple juice. These juices contain natural antioxidants that promote a healthy respiratory system.
Drinking 300 milliliters of pure carrot juice between breakfast and lunch. Carrot juice will help alkalize your blood during the 3 days of cleaning.
You have to drink 400 milliliters of a potassium-rich juice with lunch. Potassium is a powerful agent that acts as a tonic for cleaning when ingested in liquid form. It squeezed carrot, celery, spinach, parsley. A true disgust that changes your life.
400 Milliliters of cranberry juice drink before bedtime. It helps to fight bacteria in the lungs that can cause infections. Blueberries are powerful antioxidants.
Care of the body and exercise
A hot bath for 20 minutes every day. It is important to allow the body to lose toxins through perspiration as much as possible.
Once the day walks brisk. Walking promotes healthy breathing. As you walk, you focus on breathing slowly and fully. It keeps the pace.
Place 5 to 10 drops of eucalyptus in hot water. Then you put a dry towel on the back of the head and inhale the steam until the water is no longer hot. The properties of oil and steam can help loosen the mucus.
There may be many things that you can not afford in this regime to clean the lungs. If this is your case, limit yourself to carrot juice, juice of cranberry and walk for a week. They are the three pillars along with:
Don't smoke
Avoid caffeine
Consult your doctor

Interesting Banana Facts

Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!...
This is interesting. After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.


Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

DEPRESSION:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS:
Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

ANEMIA:
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL:
Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has FOUR TIMES the protein, TWICE the carbohydrate, THREE TIMES the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals.. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A BANANA a day keeps the doctor away!'

PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time

Testicular Cancer - For Men

This story posted by a guy on Reddit really amazed me. Basically he was in his bathroom one day and found his ex girlfriends pregnancy test kit. For a bit of a laugh he decided to pee on it. To his utter shock and surprise, the results came up with 2 lines as per the image below. This as we all know basically means he is pregnant right? Well obviously he is not pregnant but he thought it was really funny anyway.
He took to Reddit where he posted the picture. In the comments someone said “if this is true, you should check yourself for testicular cancer” and that he needed to get to his GP as soon as possible. It was lucky this chain of events happened as when his GP checked him over, it turned out that he had testicular cancer. He was fortunate enough to catch it in the early stages.
So what is going on here? Well the pregnancy test is actually looking for something called Human chorionic gonadotropin HCG . This is produced in the placenta of a woman and is thus a good test of pregnancy. It turns out that HCG is also produced by men who suffer from testicular cancer.
