I believe that a healthy blood flow to the heart starts with clean alkaline blood processed by a healthy liver free from toxins such as drugs, alcohol and toxic medications (narcotics). Consumption of foods rich in nutrients such as folate, Vitamin C and B and L-arginine amino acid can prevent mitochondrial damage. Example of foodsContinue reading “How to have healthy blood flow to your heart?”

Vagus Nerve Stimulation Boosts Post-Stroke Motor Skill Recovery
Vagus Nerve Stimulation Boosts Post-Stroke Motor Skill Recovery Summary: Vagus nerve stimulation coupled with physical therapy following a stroke can significantly help to boost motor skill recovery, researchers report. Source: University of Texas at Dallas. Researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have demonstrated a method to accelerate motor skill recovery after a strokeContinue reading “Vagus Nerve Stimulation Boosts Post-Stroke Motor Skill Recovery”
Genetic Marker for Stroke and Cardiovascular Disease – Folate and Vit B12 pathways
Researchers Discover Underlying Genetic Marker for Stroke and Cardiovascular Disease NIH-funded findings point to new potential strategies for disease prevention and treatment. Scientists studying the genomes of nearly 5,000 people have pinpointed a genetic variant tied to an increased risk for stroke, and have also uncovered new details about an important metabolic pathway that playsContinue reading “Genetic Marker for Stroke and Cardiovascular Disease – Folate and Vit B12 pathways”
Less melanin in white people leads to less folate for blood production
Less melanin in white leads to less folate and more melanin in dark colored skin people affects Vitamin D and Calcium absorption White people must get sunshine to help in folate absorption (folic acid – important nutrient for the blood ) while dark-colored skin people must eat whole foods rich in Vitamin D3 , calciumContinue reading “Less melanin in white people leads to less folate for blood production”
Metabolic pathway provides cues for cancer, aging and health care
In biochemistry, a metabolic pathway is a linked series of chemical reactions occurring within a cell. The reactants, products, and intermediates of an enzymatic reaction are known as metabolites, which are modified by a sequence of chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes.[1] In a metabolic pathway, the product of one enzyme acts as the substrate forContinue reading “Metabolic pathway provides cues for cancer, aging and health care”
Depression, Folate, SAMe and serotonin
SAMe S-Adenosylmethionine (SAMe) is a naturally-occurring compound found in almost every tissue and fluid in the body. It is involved in many important processes. SAMe plays a role in the immune system, maintains cell membranes, and helps produce and break down brain chemicals, such as serotonin, melatonin, and dopamine. It works with vitamin B12 andContinue reading “Depression, Folate, SAMe and serotonin”
Folate – Vit B9 deficiency or MTHFR gene mutation
Folate – Vit B9 or MTHFR deficiency has a frequency of 1 in 1.9 . Those with potentially “severe” mutations should check homocysteine with their doctor. Folate deficiency: A deficiency in folic acid (folate) could be linked to MTHFR mutation and is worth checking out. Common symptoms include extreme fatigue, light-headedness, and forgetfulness. Homocysteine is anContinue reading “Folate – Vit B9 deficiency or MTHFR gene mutation”
Vit B12, folate, homocysteine and Alzheimer’s disease
Introduction Risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affecting the rate of cognitive decline and brain shrinkage include nonmodifiable factors such as age, low education levels, and genetic factors, whereas modifiable risk factors have also been identified. One such modifiable risk factor is homocysteine (Hcy), an amino acid that is produced in the methylation cycle ofContinue reading “Vit B12, folate, homocysteine and Alzheimer’s disease”
Skin signals, diet, supplementation and skin care
Now that I’m helping people be skin beautiful with anti-aging products from the makers of Proactiv at my site http://www.clubalthea.myrandf.com 408-854-1883 motherhealth@gmail.com , I am sharing the following skin signals, diet and supplementation info: Deep wrinkles can be a result of aging, eating processed foods, or sun exposure. Eat foods containing lysine, an amino acid that helps youContinue reading “Skin signals, diet, supplementation and skin care”
