Salt and protein to sleep and blame ‘Food Coma’ on the brain
I consumed Trader Joe’s chocolate cake for 4 servings last night with 28 grams of sugar which woke me up from 12 midnight to 3 am. Salt and protein has an effect on the brain to go back to sleep as described in this fruit fly study and one author’s regimen of combo of saltContinue reading “Salt and protein to sleep and blame ‘Food Coma’ on the brain”
Fresh raw marijuana nutrition facts
Fresh raw marijuana is a complete food source. It can be eaten in salads or juiced. No other single plant source has the essential amino acids in such an easily digestible form that provides instant food energy. Fresh raw marijuana contains all the essential amino acids and fatty acids necessary in maintaining healthy human life.Continue reading “Fresh raw marijuana nutrition facts”
Brain injury, concussive force of military blasts and Alzheimer’s – tau protein
Tau proteins (or τ proteins, after the Greek letter with that name) are proteins that stabilize microtubules. They are abundant in neurons of the central nervous system and are less common elsewhere, but are also expressed at very low levels in CNS astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.[5] Pathologies and dementias of the nervous system such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease [6] are associated with tau proteins that have become defective and no longer stabilize microtubules properly. The tauContinue reading “Brain injury, concussive force of military blasts and Alzheimer’s – tau protein”

Wounds sustained during the day heal twice as fast as those that occur at night
Whenever you are injured, a type of skin cell known as fibroblasts, move into the region to pave the way for new cells to grow. Fibroblasts are known to “keep their own time,” writes Roni Dengler at Science, periodically changing activity depending on the time of day. But the details of the process remained largely unclear.
To better understand these rhythms, Nathaniel Hoyle and his team at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge took a closer look at the fibroblasts. While studying how proteins produced by the cells vary throughout the day, they discovered that proteins important to healing were most abundant when the sun was up.

Binding or cross linking of glucose to protein damages tissues
The role of collagen crosslinks in ageing and diabetes – the good, the bad, and the ugly Jess G. Snedeker1 and Alfonso Gautieri2 Summary The non-enzymatic reaction of proteins with glucose (glycation) is a topic of rapidly growing importance in human health and medicine. There is increasing evidence that this reaction plays a central roleContinue reading “Binding or cross linking of glucose to protein damages tissues”
Acetylcholine/Choline Deficiency in Chronic Illness – eat soft boiled eggs
To my friends who love to drink alcohol be it San Miguel beer or red wine, do eat protein rich foods like soft boiled eggs when drinking. To my BFF with pancreas health issues, eat soft boiled eggs.

Elusive protein acts as manager, addressing pH imbalance by transporting acid in and out of cells
By Ellen Goldbaum The membrane transport protein (red) is expressed at high density in the endothelial cells of the cornea. Credit: Mark Parker For more than a decade, researchers have tried to figure out the role of a membrane transport protein involved with a rare, hereditary condition that results in vision loss. Numerous papers haveContinue reading “Elusive protein acts as manager, addressing pH imbalance by transporting acid in and out of cells”
New imaging technique measures toxicity of proteins associated with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases
Summary: Researchers have developed a new imaging technique that makes it possible to study why proteins associated with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases may go from harmless to toxic. Source: University of Cambridge. A new super-resolution imaging technique allows researchers to track how surface changes in proteins are related to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s andContinue reading “New imaging technique measures toxicity of proteins associated with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases”
