Health benefits from herbal supplements

Filed Under (Natural Health Supplements) by Greg on 18-04-2009

Many people look at the United States and see over consumption of food.  Yet, what we don’t see is under nourishment.  We in fact do get enough calories, but not enough vitamins and minerals from those calories.  As a result, our bodies are undernourished and this is why we tend to get sick more often than not.

Fortunately, there are ways to overcome our limitations.  Supplementing our intake with vitamins, minerals, and herbs, can help improve our bodies and reverse health issues, seen and those lurking.  Within our bodies there are free radicals.  These free radicals tend to be oxidizers.  An example would be leaving your bike out in the rain over night.  In the morning you go out and look at your bike and see rust, the bike’s metal was oxidized.

In order to prevent free radicals from running rampant in your body and causing damage, kind of like the bike rusting, you need to take some sort of antioxidants.  Antioxidants come in the form of vitamins, minerals, and herbs.  These very ingredients are supposed to be in food and in the food we consume.  Unfortunately, our foods tend to be lacking these important ingredients, or they were destroyed by the cooking.

A solution to this problem would be supplementation.  There are plenty of supplements out there that are intended to help replenish these important antioxidants such as, multi-vitamins, energy supplements, memory supplements, etc.  Taking a good multi-vitamin every day can help improve your body’s immune system and function and ultimately make you less susceptible to getting sick.

Just like the body, the mind is just as important, maybe even more important, because it is the control center of your whole being.  This is why a mental supplement may be beneficial to your health.  Some supplements help improve focus, others improve memory.   And there are others that combine focus, memory, energy, and other beneficial functions.

This leaves you with many options, supplement manufacturers have run rampant, and too many options have arisen.   Fortunately, this leaves many options to find the best product that suits your needs.  Always look for a product that is natural and has pharmaceutical grade ingredients to ensure your getting high quality stuff. 

Next, choose what you want in your supplements, there are many combinations out there and some do different things.  For example, IntelliBoost, which can be found at http://www.intelliboost.com, is specially designed to help you in many ways.  It improves your memory, helps you focus, increases your energy, and helps you relax by reducing your feelings of stress.

In the end, when choosing supplements, first decide what the purpose of taking them are.  Are you looking for improving your mental health or body’s health?  Once you have decided then find supplements that are natural that meet your needs.

The Queen of Fruits: Mangosteen

Filed Under (Healthy foods) by Greg on 01-04-2009

What is Mangosteen?

 Mangosteen are an exotic botanical found in great abundance throughout Southeast Asia that has been revered for literally centuries by ancient healers but has only just recently reached the Western Hemisphere. The mangosteen is about the size of a tangerine, with a deep purple rind on the outside, and a pure, snowy white pulp on the inside that tastes absolutely delicious. Gourmet magazine even refers to it as “the world’s most seductive fruit.” Recent surveys tell us that just 5% of the North American population have ever heard of it so if this is your first time you’re not alone.

Mangosteen is so popular in fact that its not only the National Fruit of Thailand but also commonly referred to as the “Queen of all Fruits”. Legend even has it that Queen Victoria was so enamored with this rare botanical that she offered knighthood to any subject who could bring her a mangosteen in prime condition.

Since hitting the shores of the United States, the mangosteen beverage category has consistently been ranked one of the “Top 10 Trends to Watch!”

How Can You Get Your Hands on This Fruit?

Well, you could go to Thailand, or any number of exotic countries with ultra tropical climates in which it grows. Or, for the very first time ever, mangosteen is being legally imported into the United States, with the price of just one fruit ranging from between $11 and $15! And that’s just the beginning of the challenge, if you can even find it fresh as it’s only sold at very upscale markets in only a select number of cities.

You see although consuming the delicious snowy-white pulp on the inside will be a heavenly treat for your palette, virtually all of the healthy benefits are contained within the rind, or pericarp, its bitter outside skin, which is extremely unpleasant to eat. The peel therefore was often times brewed in a tea overnight and drank for various purposes after adding a sweetener to make it palatable. These formulas were then handed down from generation to generation for their efficacy.

Despite all of these challenges, there is now a way anyone can enjoy the healthy benefits this powerhouse botanical has to offer, without having to spend a fortune, having to hold your nose to drink it, or having to possess ancient healing wisdom.

 

Introducing XanGo® Juice

Comprised of the whole-fruit including the all-important rind and seeds, only XanGo® Juice has succeeded in capturing the magical essence of this exotic botanical and been able to harness the power of the mangosteen fruit in its complete goodness, exactly as Mother Nature intended.

Hoodia Gordonii – The Scientific Intervention

Filed Under (Healthy foods, Weight Loss Supplements) by Greg on 31-03-2009

The first scientific study of hoodia was really sparked by chance, as is often the case in scientific “discoveries”. What started it all was not, in fact, an exclusive study into the hoodia gordonii, a succulent that looks like a cactus. South Africa’s national laboratory was conducting a much broader study. It was only because the San tribesman were known to eat hoodia gordonii that it was included in a study of indigenous foods.

It is not surprising that the interest of the national laboratory was aroused, and they started to focus seriously on the hoodia gordonii’s properties. It was tested on animals by including it in their food. The animals ate it, and then lost weight. It was then a question of isolating the ingredient that was behind this phenomenon. Or were these animals going to secret weight watchers meetings every week, without the knowledge of the laboratory? That may seem very fanciful, but then so did the idea of losing weight through munching a spiky succulent. This was, indeed, becoming extremely interesting.

This was no instant discovery with an instant explanation. The originally research went back to the 1960’s, when it was not obvious that hoodia gordonii had great potential as an appetite suppressant. It was about 30 years later that the South African national laboratory succeeded in isolating and identifying the ingredient in hoodia gordonii that had the effect of suppressing appetite. The ingredient was later to become known as P57.

When the laboratory found that ingredient, they applied for a patent, and licensed it to Phytopharm, an English bio-technology company. Phytopharm has spent more than $20 million already on research associated with hoodia gordonii. This research, which included clinical trials with obese volunteers, has yielded some promising results. Subjects given hoodia gordonii ended up eating about 1,000 calories a day less than those in the control group, who were fed a placebo. That is an impressively high figure, when you consider that the average American man consumes about 2,600 calories a day, and a woman about 1,900 calories.

According to Phytopharm, if you take this hoodia compound every day, your desire to eat goes down. That was illustrated dramatically in the research. So, all was looking very promising for the millions of obese men and women around the world.

Large pharmaceutical company Pfizer partnered Phytopharm in expanding the research, and a synthetic form of the critical ingredient was possible. However, the costs involved and the possible volumes were too low, to make it worthwhile, so Pfizer abandoned their plans. Phytopharm decided the only way to produce enough of the product was to grow the plants in massive volumes. So, that is what they set out to do, establishing hoodia plantations in South Africa.

The hoodia being used in the plantations is not precisely the same plant as that in the Kalahari, but is easier to cultivate. It is an enormous task, but one that Phytofarm are confident will bring success in meeting potential demand for genuine hoodia products. However, Phytopharm says it hopes to have meal-replacement hoodia products on supermarket shelves in a few years.

Natural Remedies for Asthma or Allergies

Filed Under (Natural Health Supplements) by Greg on 30-03-2009

A lot people have asthma.  Recently I encounter three natural remedies that I would like to pass them on to you. Here is the first one.

Boswellia

Boswellia, an herb, is known for its anti-inflammatory abilities and its usefulness in reduces the effects of bronchitis, asthma, cough, laryngitis, and fever. It comes from the resin of a tree in India and made into a pill or cream. It is best known for use in arthritis.

Recommended dose is: 150mg three times a day.

Yamoa

Yamoa is an herbal powder treatment for Asthma, which is derived from the bark of an African gum tree. It is available in capsule and has been typically used to help asthma. It has a good history of helping asthma sufferers.

Minor Blue Dragon formula

The Minor Blue Dragon is a Chinese herbal formula. Another name for it is xiao-qing-long-tang, or XQLT.It’s a blend of eight herbal medicines used to treat asthma for centuries in Asia.
The XQLT formula has been used effectively for bronchial asthma for centuries and it is said to have an even more powerful bronchodilator effect than prescription drugs. This formulation contains ephedra, which has been banned in the US in diet formulas. However, ephedra in this formula is considered safe, since the formula only contains around 15% of this herb. The other ingredients in XQLT are paeonia alba, cinnamon, pinellia, ginger, schisandar, asarum, and glycyrrhiza.

In addition to the above herbs it is also important to take a good supply of antioxidants – especially vitamins A, C, and E, carotenoids, and selenium. Taking antioxidants helps to reduce the irritating effects of airborne free radicals, which can activate an asthma attack.

Magnesium

Magnesium has been shown to reduce the risk of developing asthma and might also be helpful in reducing asthma. Magnesium is also good for asthmatics because it helps to dilate the bronchioles. Also, make sure that plenty of water is drunk daily, which thins mucus. The recommended dosage of magnesium is 200-600 mg/day.

MSM

MSM has also proven useful for asthma aside from being beneficial for arthritis, allergies, fatigue, back pain, sinusitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, autoimmune diseases, and many other conditions. Start with 2000mg of MSM per day but be sure to take 50 to 150 micrograms of molybdenum daily since MSM needs molybdenum to activate it properly.

Ginseng Tea

Filed Under (Healthy foods) by Greg on 29-03-2009

Ginseng Tea

Ginseng tea can alleviate many symptoms of common aliments and lessen fatigue.  Ginseng is the main ingredient to many of the medicinal teas.  However, prolonged use can lead to insomnia and heart trouble, so be sure to consult your physician before drinking ginseng tea regularly as an alternative to coffee for that afternoon pick me up.

In China, ginseng is held in high regard.  It is believed that ginseng has rejuvenating powers and provides stimulation to the whole body.  Ginseng also offers protection against fatigue.  Ginseng is known to be a stimulant for the central nervous system.  This root can also help with inflammation, fever, and hormonal imbalances to name a few.

The tea is usually made from the Wisconsin ginseng root.  Slices can be steeped to create a tea that is a strong as the consumer would like, or purchased as a powder and brewed using tea balls.  Both of these methods let the drinker control the amount of tea used.  There are ginseng tea bags available from specialty stores, but it is not recommended to buy the tea without reading all the ingredients as some packaged teas are sold as ginseng but in fact have very little of this herb in them, instead using mostly fillers

Consult an herbal practitioner or naturopath as to the right type of ginseng and how to brew your tea.  The tea can be sweetened with a little honey or stored cold in the refrigerator, as this tea is quite good served iced.

Take note, if you are pregnant use ginseng sparingly or not at all.

Vitamin A

Filed Under (Vitamins) by Greg on 29-03-2009

You may have heard from your grandmother that consuming carrots can better you sight. That may not be precisely true, but carrots do carry something known as provitamin A carotenoids. These are pigments in some plant life* that can be changed by the body into vitamins 

Vitamin A is also helpful to bone growth and your immune system. As with other vitamins, there are different forms of vitamin A. One of the forms that is most functional to the body is known as retinol, and it can be encountered in liver, eggs, and milk. One of the most common provitamin A carotenoids that the body changes well to retinol is beta carotene, and it is encountered in carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, and cantaloupe. Vitamin A is also one of the vitamins frequently used to strengthen breakfast cereals.

Vitamin A is fat soluble, which implies that the body stores it, generally in the liver. That also implies that it is possible to establish up toxic grades of it in the body. This seldom occurs from food sources because as the body forms up provisions of vitamin A, it will slow down the working of beta carotene transition to vitamin A. When people do get vitamin A toxicity, it is commonly from ingesting too much in supplemental, or pill, form. Toxic grades of vitamin A can cause liver troubles, central nervous system troubles, impairment of bone density, and birth defects.

True insufficiency of vitamin A is uncommon in the US, but usual in nations where undernourishment is widespread. As mentioned earlier, vitamin A is significant to the resistant system and sight. This is because the body uses vitamin A to build assorted inner tissues, such as those lining the eye, lungs, and intestinal tract. When these linings are weakened by vitamin A insufficiency, it is easier for injurious bacteria to perforate them and thus, people with vitamin A insufficiency are more prone to infections, sickness, blindness, and respiratory troubles.

Aside from the undernourished, others who may be prone to vitamin A insufficiency include those who eat boastfully quantities of alcohol and those with particular metabolic troubles that impact how fat and other nutrients are absorbed by the body.

Some recent and ongoing reports regarding vitamin A and beta carotene include probes as to whether high quantities of vitamin A lead to osteoporosis, and whether beta carotene can bring down the chance of some classes of cancer.

Green Tea and Polyphenols

Filed Under (Healthy foods, antioxidant) by Greg on 28-03-2009

What are Polyphenols?

Polyphenols are compounds found in nature. More specifically they are found in plants and provide coloring for some. Their purpose appears to be a potent, natural antioxidant. There are many plants that we consume that contain polyphenols. Concentrations are high in Olive oil and Green Tea and have been the subject of many health articles and promoted to enhance your health.

How do Polyphenols work?

These antioxidants eliminate free radicals, unstable molecules that are the major cause of both aging and disease, in both plants and humans. Free radicals continually attack the body. Free radicals are a normal product of metabolism and result in a process called oxidation. Polyphenols and other antioxidants, including beta carotene (a vitamin A precursor), vitamin C, vitamin E, and selenium, scavenge these free radicals and help to prevent formation of unstable oxygen molecules, known as oxidation. Oxidation can damage healthy cells in the body and have been linked to many diseases including cancer, heart disease and stroke. Polyphenols not only work to prevent diseases but may also help to reduce abnormal cells and inflammation; get rid of cancer causing agents and restore cells back to normal health.

What foods contain Polyphenols?

There are many but there are only a few, which contain particularly high levels. They include red wine, olive oil, black and green tea. Green Tea is the #1 source of polyphenols. These extremely high levels of polyphenols deliver green tea’s unique results in several ways. Just one example is a subgroup of polyphenols, exclusive to green tea, called catechins. EGCG, the most abundant and powerful of green tea’s 5 main catechins, is dubbed the ‘super antioxidant’ because it is 200 times more powerful than the popular antioxidant vitamin E. Unfortunately, polyphenols have a quick life span (short half life) of about 3 hours, thus the scientific reason behind researchers’ recommendation to drink green tea a minimum of 8 times a day.

Not only may green tea protect and heal the body from disease but also clinical trials, conducted by the University of Geneva, in Switzerland, indicate that green tea raises metabolic rates and speed up fat oxidation. In addition to caffeine, green tea’s catechin polyphenols raise thermogenesis (the rate at which calories are burned) and hence increases energy expenditure. And, research at the University of Chicago has shown green tea extract injections in rats to cause appetite suppression. They consumed 60 percent less food and lost 21 percent of their body weight. However, as explained by the scientists, a person would have to drink green tea almost constantly to obtain these results. Green tea patches have been developed as a solution. They contain up to 300mg of polyphenols (30 times the potency of regular green tea) and provide a constant supply over 48 hours.

Research is still continuing with green tea and more health benefits continue to be discovered. For instance, EGCG’s may one day play a role in treatment of mad cow disease (Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, DOI:10.1038/nsmb743). And the formation of unstable oxygen molecules in the body is unavoidable. Aging, smoke, and environmental pollutants are all sources of the damaging free radicals. Japan and China have benefited from drinking green tea vs. black tea, like the rest of us, for centuries. The west is just now catching on to the benefits of green tea. With green tea being no more harmful than a cup of coffee (and actually containing less caffeine) there’s no reason why you shouldn’t begin today to benefit from green tea too.

Minerals your body needs

Filed Under (Mineral Supplements, Uncategorized) by Greg on 27-03-2009

Every part of you is made from minerals – your bones, cell structure, lymph liquid, arteries, organs, tissue, muscle, hair, and so on. You cannot live without minerals. Your body does not produce minerals.

Where do you get your minerals? You get them from vegetables and fruits and good supplements. Since only 10% of the people eat enough fruits and vegetable, the rest of you are deficient in minerals. If we eat enough vegetables and fruits, why do we have to take a mineral supplement?  Long time ago when the soil was rich in minerals, vegetable and fruits were jammed pack with minerals. Fruits and vegetables were not picked early, frozen, waxed, radiated, or stored in argon gas. Those who ate these vegetables and fruits obtained an adequate supply of minerals and seldom has a deficiency.

Today the opposite is true. You and I cannot get enough minerals from eating fruits and vegetables. Now we eat more cooked vegetables, more vegetables in packages, fruits and vegetables that are waxed, and vegetables from other countries not processed properly.Today, we need to supplement our eating habits with a live mineral liquid to make up for the lack of minerals in the good food and junk food we eat.
