Comments
a waxy substance obtained from food or synthesized in the liver. Some tropical oils, such as palm oil, palm kernel oil and coconut oil, also can trigger the liver to make more cholesterol. Together with other substances, cholesterol can form a thick, hard deposit that can narrow the arteries and make them less flexible. Compositions of 50% cholesterol and 25% protein form LDL or bad cholesterol. Smaller particles with 20% cholesterol and 50% protein are known as HDL - aka good cholesterol - and act as a scavenger, carrying LDL cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liverto be broken down and passed from the body. Condition with arteries filled with bad cholesterol is known as atherosclerosis. If a clot forms and blocks a narrowed artery, a heart attack or stroke can result. Sometimes referred to as Vitamin B4, strongly-basic compound that is a constituent of lecithin, essential in the metabolism of fat. Although choline is not by strict definition a vitamin, it is an essential nutrient. one of the “lipotropic” factors (has the ability to remove and prevent fatty deposits in the body). Choline is an important micronutrient for endurance athletes, pregnant and postmenopausal women. It is needed for neurotransmitter synthesis (acetylcholine), cell-membrane signaling (phospholipids), lipid transport (lipoproteins), and methyl-group metabolism (homocysteine reduction). It is important for brain and memory development in the fetus and appears to decrease the risk of the development of neural tube defects. Most common signs of choline deficiencies are fatty liver and hemorrhagic kidney necrosis. Choline is a precursor to trimethylamine, which some individuals are not able to break down due to a genetic disorder called trimethylaminuria or certain types of microbial dysbiosis. These individuals have a strong fishy or otherwise unpleasant body odor that can occur even on a normal diet, not particularly high in choline and they need to dramatically reduce it. In this case, recommended intake is 30 to 40mg taken 3 to 5 times per day with food. The recommended adequate intake of choline for those not-suffering from TMAU is set at 425 milligrams (mg)/day for women and 550 mg/day for men. aromatic spice made from the dried bark of Cinnamomum, a Southeast Asian tree. The most important Cinnamomum oils in world trade are those from C. verum (cinnamon bark and leaf oils), C. cassia (cassia oil) and C. camphora (sassafras and Ho leaf oils). Cinnamon spice creates sensation of warmth and is linked to creativity and willingness to spend more money. Bacteria commonly found in the environment - soil, water, sewages - and is responsible for reducing nitrate to nitrite. As an opportunistic pathogen, C. freundii is also responsible for a number of significant infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, blood and several other normally sterile sites. It might be also causing systemic body odor in humans. C. freundii represents approximately 29% of all opportunistic infections. It is one of the most common hydrogen sulfide-producing species of bacteria along with Hafnia alvei, Pseudomonas, Citrobacter, Aeromonas, Salmonella, and Escherichia coli Firmicute, Citrobacter Bacteria that normally lives in human digestive and urinary tracts but may also cause infections in some cases. C. koseri rarely causes infection in healthy, immunocompetent patients and, thus far, has been considered an opportunistic pathogen. There were reports on infective aortic endocarditis due to C. koseri. It can also occasionally causes meningitis, sepsis, ventriculitis, and cerebritis with 80% frequent multiple brain abscesses in low-birth-weight, immunocompromised neonates. The pathogenic mechanism is poorly understood. C. koseri may have a unique ability to penetrate, survive, and replicate into vascular endothelial cells and macrophages. Furthermore, it survives in phagolysozomal fusion and replicates within macrophages, which may contribute to the establishment of chronic abscesses Raised serum concentrations of IgA and IgM to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of gram-negative enterobacteria, such asPseudomonas aeruginosa, Morganella morganii, Proteus mirabilis, Pseduomonas putida, Citrobacter koseri, and Klebsiella pneumoniae have been reported in CFS patients Psychological stress alters the gut microbiota towards decreased numbers of Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli People with CFS were shown to have higher concentrations of intestinal C. koseri bacteria than normal, which probably leads to higher levels of H2S. Professor Kenny De Meirleir of the Brussels Free University and his team say high levels of H2S caused by an intestinal overgrowth of Gram positive D/L lactate-producing bacteria play a major role in CFS and lead to a series of reactions in your body that leave cells devoid of oxygen and energy. Clopidogrel bisulfate is a prescription medicine used to treat people with heart problems, unstable angina, poor circulation in their legs (peripheral arterial disease), following a stent placement, a heart attack or a stroke. Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet drug listed on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines along with Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) - as one of the medications considered to be most effective and safe to meet the most important needs in a health system. The generic Clopidogrel is manufactured by 84 companies and is sold under dozens of different names including Plavix (Sanofi Aventis and Bristol-Myers Squibb). All clothes, items worn to cover the body. Specific clothing - including even superhero T-shirts - can make people more confident in all sorts of situations. In one study, students were more assured when wearing a Superman t-shirt, and women performed worse in a math test when donning a swimsuit There could be toxic chemicals used in clothes from fast fashion chains. According to Greenpeace's 2012 study “Toxic Threads: The Big Fashion Stitch-Up,” (141 clothing items from 20 major brands, including Zara, Levi’s, Mango, Calvin Klein and H&M) four garments contained high levels of toxic phthalates, 89 garments contained nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs) and two items, both from Zara, contained cancer-causing amines from the use of azo dyes. Besides, synthetic clothes may harbor bacteria causing infections. Lycra undergarments can promote yeast infections and, in addition, compress nerves. Lululemon’s Silverescent technology weaves silver into each thread supposedly preventing bacteria from growing and eliminating odor. For some people, though, it works worse than Rhones silver threading technology. Minerale infuses fabric with crushed volcanic rock. Chitosan technology— using crushed shrimp shells to fight odor-causing bacteria -- does not also work in all cases. Cotton prevents some bacteria (such as Micrococci, but not Staphylococci) from growth but it absorbs sweat and keeps clothes moisture. Cocona uses the activated carbon in coconut shells to wick away moisture and block sweaty smells. large, oval, brown seed of a tropical palm (Cocos nucifera L.), consisting of a hard shell lined with edible white flesh and containing a clear liquid. It grows inside a woody husk, surrounded by fiber. At an immature stage, the fruit (water coconut) contains mainly water and a little jellylike meat instead of the hard, white flesh found in mature coconuts. Immature green nuts are usually sold trimmed and shaped, without the husk, dipped in 1 to 3% sodium meta-bisulfite for 2 to 5 min and then wrapped in plastic film. The edible white flesh of the mature coconut is often shredded and used in food and confections or for the extraction of coconut oil. Coconut can be considered a fruit or a nut, although it is most commonly referred to as a drupe. Coconut oil is high in saturated fats and should be considered solid fat when it comes to its nutritional value. Coconut is also high in dietary fiber, iron, potassium, and magnesium. |
