Combine Supplements To Get The Best Health Benefits
Tumblr media
Many people choose to take one supplement to treat an issue with their health. But research indicates that mixing certain supplements can result in synergistic effects, meaning that the combination of different supplements can produce a greater effect than each supplement alone. In this article, we will explore the advantages of mixing supplements for the best well-being.
Synergistic effects
The combination of supplements may result in synergistic effects. As an example, vitamin D as well as calcium can be combined to support the health of bones. Calcium can help increase vitamin D absorption, while vitamin D helps in absorption of calcium. They have a greater impact when consumed together, than if they were each taken in isolation.
Combining omega-3 fatty acid and vitamin E have the same positive synergistic effect on inflammation. Vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acid provide anti-inflammatory benefits. Oxidative stress can be a major contributor to inflammation.
In the end, mixing probiotics with prebiotics could result in an effect synergistic to digestive health. Prebiotics, which are fibers that are not digestible by humans, but that nourish the healthy bacteria found within our digestive tracts and are also known as probiotics. They can improve digestion and functioning of the immune system when taken in combination.
Combine supplements for certain health problems
In addition to producing a synergistic effect, combining supplements can also be helpful to address specific health issues. Combining glucosamine with chondroitin may benefit those who suffer from joint stiffness or pain. Both chondroitin and glucosamine work to improve joint health and reduce inflammation. This can reduce stiffness and joint pain.
Similar to this, people suffering from memory loss or cognitive issues may benefit from combining omega-3 fatty acids as well as phosphatidylserine supplements. Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial to brain health and cognitive function as well as phosphatidylserine helps improve memory and attention span.
CoQ10 combined with omega-3 fatty acids could be beneficial to those with heart conditions. CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant that promotes heart health while omega-3 fatty acids can aid in reducing inflammation and improving the lipid profile.
Quality and the Importance of Quality
youtube
In the event of combining supplements, you must choose high-quality products from reputable manufacturers. Select supplements that have passed safety and effectiveness testing as well as research-based support. To ensure that supplements are as effective as possible, it is crucial to stick to dose guidelines and to ensure that they are stored properly.
You should also keep in mind that some supplements can be combined with other medications. For example, combining blood-thinning supplements such as fish oil or vitamin E with blood-thinning medications can increase the risk of bleeding. Combining a supplement like St. John's Wort with antidepressant medication can also reduce its efficacy.
Contact a healthcare provider
Talk to your doctor before mixing any supplements. This is especially important in the case of taking medication or have underlying medical issues. It is possible to ask your health physician for recommendations on what supplements to mix and how many of them to mix. They will also be able to provide specific information on the potential interactions between medicines as well as the supplement.
Your doctor will be able to help you determine which supplements you need for your particular health concern. Instead of jumbled the various supplements, focus on addressing specific health concerns with targeted supplements.

Better Together: The Synergistic Effects Of Combining Supplements For Optimal Health
Tumblr media
With regards to supplements, many people take one or two supplements in order to treat a particular health concern. Research suggests, however, that some supplements have synergistic benefits, which means that they can be superior to the supplement alone. In this piece we'll explore the benefits of combining supplements to achieve optimal well-being.
The Synergistic Effect
When supplements are combined, they can work together to create a synergistic impact. Calcium and vitamin D as an example, are frequently used to boost bone health. Calcium aids in increasing the absorption of vitamin D, and vitamin D assists in the absorption of calcium. Together, they produce an even greater impact for bone health than each supplement by itself.
Combining omega-3 fatty acid and vitamin E has a similar positive synergistic effect on inflammation. Vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acid have anti-inflammatory effects. Oxidative stress can be a major contributor to inflammation.
In the end, mixing probiotics with prebiotics may result in an effect synergistic to digestive health. Probiotics are living bacteria that support a healthy gut microbiome and prebiotics are not digestible fibers that feed the good bacteria that live in your stomach. They are able to improve digestion and immune system function when taken together.
Take supplements in conjunction with particular health issues
Combining different supplements isn't just beneficial for producing synergistic effects, but it can also help address specific health issues. Combining chondroitin and glucosamine could be beneficial for individuals suffering from joint pain and stiffness. Both reduce inflammation and support healthy joints. This can alleviate joint pain.
In the same way, those suffering from memory loss or cognitive problems may be benefited by combining omega-3 fatty acids with phosphatidylserine supplementation. Omega-3 fatty acids help support cognition and brain health, while phosphatidylserine can help improve memory and attention span.
Finally, individuals with heart health concerns could benefit from the combination of CoQ10 along with omega-3 fatty acids supplements. CoQ10 is an antioxidant that's potent which promotes heart health while omega-3 fatty acids can aid in reducing inflammation and improving lipid profiles.
The Importance of Quality
youtube
If you are combining different supplements, you must pick high-quality items from reliable manufacturers. Select supplements that have passed tests for safety and efficacy as well as research-based support. To make sure that the supplements are as potent as possible, it is essential to follow the dose guidelines and to store them properly.
It is important to keep your eyes on the fact that certain supplements can be combined with other medications. For example, combining blood-thinning supplements like fish oil and vitamin E with blood-thinning medications could increase the chance of bleeding. Similarly, combining supplements like St. John's wort with antidepressant medications can reduce the effectiveness of medications.
Contact a Health Care Provider
Consult your healthcare provider before mixing any supplements. This is especially important when you take medication or have medical issues. You can ask your healthcare doctor for guidance on the best supplements you should mix, and in what much of each. They will also be able to provide information about potential interactions between medicines and the supplement.
Your doctor will be able to help you determine which supplements you need to address your specific health issue. Instead of mixing supplements in blind it is better to concentrate on specific health issues and targeted supplementation.

Abstract
Metabolism is the process your body uses to make energy from the food you eat. Food is made up of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Chemicals in your digestive system (enzymes) break the food parts down into sugars and acids, your body’s fuel. Your body can use this fuel right away, or it can store the energy in your body tissues. If you have a metabolic disorder, something goes wrong with this process. Dyslipidemia is main etiological factor leading to develop coronary artery disease (CAD). Allopathic drugs used in cure of hyperlipidemia, have unwanted effects, so have poor compliance. Now a day’s nutraceuticals are getting popularity due to their moderate hypolipidemic actions with fewer adverse effects. Niacin or vitamin B-3 is used as hypolipidemic agent which increases HDL-cholesterol and decreases LDL-cholesterol, VLDL, TGs by different mechanisms. But its main adverse effects are flushing due to synthesis of Prostaglandin D-2 which has vasodilatory effect causing flushing. Cardamom is herb having hypolipidemic potential if used in specific concentration for long time. In this work we did try to compare these two medicines hypolipidemic effects. Study was single blind placebo-controlled conducted at Jinnah Hospital Lahore-Pakistan from July to November 2018. Seventy-five hyperlipidemic patients were selected and divided in three groups. Their base line lipid profile was determined at laboratory of the hospital. Patients were divided in three groups. Group-1 was on placebo therapy, Group-II was on Niacin 1.5 grams daily in divided doses, and Group-III was on Cardamom 1 gram daily in three divided doses. It was two months therapeutic design. At completion of therapeutic regimen after two months we measured all patient’s lipid profile. When results were compiled and pre and post treatment values were analyzed statistically, it was observed that both drugs hypolipidemic potential is different, although both have hypolipidemic characteristic, but Niacin is the best for treating Hyperlipidemia. For statistical analysis we used SPSS version 5.0 and paired ‘t’ test was applied to understand significant changes in two tested group’s lipid profile.
Introduction
Lipid metabolism disorders, such as Gaucher disease and Tay- Sachs disease, involve lipids. Lipids are fats or fat-like substances. They include oils, fatty acids, waxes, and cholesterol. If you have one of these disorders, you may not have enough enzymes to break down lipids. Or the enzymes may not work properly, and your body can’t convert the fats into energy. They cause a harmful amount of lipids to build up in your body. Over time, that can damage your cells and tissues, especially in the brain, peripheral nervous system, liver, spleen, and bone marrow. Many of these disorders can be very serious, or sometimes even fatal. High LDL-cholesterol and low HDL-cholesterol in blood are cause of synthesis of atherosclerotic plaques which get deposited with inner endothelium of coronary arteries, leading to develop coronary artery disease (CAD) [1,2]. Hyperlipidemia either primary or secondary is challenge for scientists of 21st century due to this disease’s complications like coronary artery disease, Hypertension, Cardiac Arrhythmias, and Myocardial Infarction [3,4]. Hyperlipidemia causes LDL particle’s oxidation, which initiate formation of atherosclerotic plaques leading to development of coronary artery disease. From this single complication of Hyperlipidemia, all major heart diseases are developed leading to morbidity and mortality due to last lethal major heart disease Ventricular Fibrillation [5-8]. Hypolipidemic drugs commonly used include Statins, nicotinic acid, bile acid binding resins and fibric acids, but all have potential for low patient compliance due to wide range of side effects [9].
Niacin increases apolipoprotein A1 levels due to anti catabolic effects resulting in higher reverse cholesterol transport. It also inhibits HDL hepatic uptake, down-regulating production of the cholesterol ester transfer protein gene. Finally, it stimulates the ABC-A1 transporter in monocytes and macrophages and upregulates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ results in reverse cholesterol transport. It reduces secondary outcomes associated with atherosclerosis, such as low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides, but increases high density lipoprotein cholesterol [10]. Despite the importance of other cardiovascular risk factors, high HDL was associated with fewer cardiovascular events independent of LDL reduction. Other effects include anti-thrombotic and vascular inflammation, improving endothelial function [11]. To get good drug-patient compliance many health-related modern researchers have started to put their haeling potential for developing alternatives drugs used in primary or secondary Hyperlipidemia. Cardamom or in urdu ILAICHI is one of the hypolipidemic herb, widely encouraged by cardiologists to be used for prevention of atherogenesis, and coronary artery disease [12]. Cardamum’s antioxident effect is well established in many research studies on medicinal herbs. This nutraceutical contains Flavenoids and Phenolic compounds which scavenge Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), reducing risk of developing CAD. Oral administration of cardamom extracts significantly reduced total cholesterol, highdensity lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein, and very lowdensity lipoprotein and triglycerides in HL patients [13].
Patients & Method
Design: It was single blind placebo-controlled study conducted at GENERAL HOSPITAL Lahore from July to November 2018.
No of Patients: Seventy-five hyperlipidemic patients were selected and enrolled for the study. Written, already explained and approved consent was taken from all patients.
Inclusion Criteria: Inclusion criteria were age limit from 18 to 70 years of both gender male and female primary or secondary hyperlipidemic patients.
Exclusion Criteria: Patients suffering from any vital organ disease or their impaired functions were excluded from the study. Alcoholics, cigarette smokers and patients taking regular medicine for their any physical or mental disease were also excluded.
Grouping: Seventy-five patients were divided in three groups, comprising 25 patients in each group. Group-I was on placebo therapy. They were provided capsules containing grinded rice and mixed wheat. They were advised to take one capsule before meal, thrice daily for two months. Group-II patients were advised to take 1.5 grams of Niacin in three divided doses for the period of two months. Group-III were advised to take one-gram grinded green Cardamom powder mixed in black tea, thrice daily after each meal for the period of two months.
Methods Used: At start of study all patients’ blood pressure was recorded and kept in their personal file. Lipid profile of all patients was determined by Frei Dewald Method. Total-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol were main parameters we required for further calculation of change in these parameters. All patients were advised to visit clinic fortnightly for their follow up. After two months therapy their lipid profile was measured again by same Frei Dewald Method. Blood Pressure of all participants was again measured and compiled for further statistical analysis.
Statistical Analysis: Data were expressed as the mean ± SEM and paired “t” test was applied to determine statistical significance as the difference. A probability value of <0.05 was considered as non-significant and P<0.001 was considered as highly significant change in the results when pre and post-treatment values were compared
Results
Results are shown in Table 1 with detail and all parameter’s values and changes in these parameters are self-explanatory.
Table 1: Results of pre and post treatment values, measured in mg/dl (tc, ldl-c, hdl-c) & mm of hg (sbp, dbp).
Current Statistics: (Pakistan SUN Secretariat Report 2017-18, P&D Department)
Discussion
Nutraceuticals like vitamins, and nutritional substances like fruits, vegetables, and indian spices are getting popularity in medical research regarding their therapeutic characteristics. Vitamin B-3 or niacin, and Cardamum (illaichi) are well known nutraceuticals which have been proved to have hypolipidemic potential. Metabolic syndrome is cluster of complications in lipid, protein and carbohydrate metabolism in human body. Hyperlipidemia is main fraction and part of this complication. High plasma LDL particles are prone to be oxidized leading to synthesis of atherosclerotic plaques which deposit to endothelial wall of arteries including coronary arteries (CAD). To reduce high plasma fats can prevent individual from being vulnerable for development of CAD. In our results two months therapy with Niacin decreased total and LDL cholesterol 13.1 and 6.7 % respectively. Statistically decrease in total cholesterol is highly significant while change in LDL-cholesterol is significant biostatistically. These results match with results of study conducted by Capuzzi DM et al. [14] who agree with our results. They almost saw same changes in LP (lipid profile) of primary and secondary hyperlipidemic patients.
They mentioned effects of blood pressure which was nonsignificant when they analyzed pre and post treatment values in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Our results of change in HDL cholesterol also match with results of Alam K et al. [15] who proved 11% increase in HDL-cholesterol which is highly significant change in pre, and post treatment values of the parameter mentioned. Cantarella L et al. [16] proved significant change in systolic blood pressure of hyperlipidemic patients but non-significant effects on diastolic blood pressure. Goto T et al. [17] explained cause of flushing by using Niacin in hypolipidemic doses. They recommended titration of Niacin dose to improve patient drug compliance. Kawaguchi K et al. [18] did research on Cardamom and found phenolic compounds of this herb as antioxidant. They agree with many researcher’s idea or viewpoint that phenolics work as scavenger of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). Mittal MK et al. [19] proved that hypolipidemic effects of any herb are not as potent as Statins or Niacin. They have encouraged researchers that active ingredients of medicinal herbs should carefully be extracted and utilized efficaciously when you could preserve all for long time. Our research study proved significant changes in total and LDL cholesterol in 24 hyperlipidemic patients, i.e. 7.2 mg/dl reduction in total cholesterol and 8.8 mg/dl decrease in LDL cholesterol. Changes in both parameters are biostatistically significant.
Almost same results were observed by Bruckert, Eric et al. [20] who again said and advised patient not totally to depend on medicinal herbs, for, it is difficult to treat the disease by monotherapy when they start to develop metabolic syndrome and its serious complications. Babu PV et al. [21] has described that too much active ingredients or chemical compounds present in herbal medicines made it (Cardamom) unpopular because unexpected effects may be observed by using large amount of grinded Cardamom. He warned individuals using large amount of drug may harm metabolic pathways of body, producing unexplained metabolites which can harm body tissues. NA Lokan et al. [22], Temokarr Y et al. [23] explained that there are remarkable number of medicinal herbs and other chemical compounds which scavenge ROS (reactive oxygen species) in human body, preventing development of CAD.

How to Create a Balanced Vegan Diet with Proper Nutrient Intake
Embracing a vegan lifestyle comes with numerous benefits, including ethical considerations, environmental sustainability, and potential health advantages. However, ensuring a well-balanced vegan diet that meets all your nutritional needs requires thoughtful planning. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the essential nutrients for a vegan diet, discuss potential challenges, and provide practical tips to help you create a balanced and nutritionally rich plant-based eating plan.
Essential Nutrients in a Vegan Diet
1. Protein:
Protein is crucial for maintaining and repairing tissues. While animal products are rich in complete proteins, plant-based sources like legumes, tofu, tempeh, quinoa, and a variety of nuts and seeds can provide the necessary amino acids for vegans.
2. Iron:
Plant-based iron, found in foods like lentils, beans, tofu, and spinach, may be less readily absorbed than iron from animal sources. Combining iron-rich foods with vitamin C-rich options, such as citrus fruits or bell peppers, enhances absorption.
3. Calcium:
Vital for bone health, calcium is abundant in leafy green vegetables like kale and collard greens, as well as in fortified plant milks, tofu, and almonds .
4. Vitamin :
Essential for nerve function and the production of red blood cells, vitamin is primarily found in animal products. Vegans should consider fortified foods or supplements to meet their requirements.
5. Omega-3 Fatty Acids:
Essential for heart health and brain function, omega-3 fatty acids can be obtained from flaxseeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and walnuts. Algal oil supplements are also available for a direct source of vegan-friendly omega-3s.
6. Zinc:
Crucial for immune function and wound healing, zinc is present in legumes, seeds, nuts, and whole grains. However, phytates in plant foods can inhibit zinc absorption, so soaking, fermenting, or sprouting these foods can enhance availability.
7. Vitamin D:
While vitamin D is primarily obtained from sunlight, it can be challenging for vegans to meet their needs. Fortified plant milks or vitamin D supplements are viable options.
8. Iodine:
Essential for thyroid function, iodine can be obtained from iodized salt or seaweed. However, iodine levels in plant foods can vary, and it's essential to monitor intake.
Tips for Creating a Balanced Vegan Diet
1. Diversify Your Plate:
Aim for a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds to ensure a broad spectrum of nutrients. Different plant foods offer unique benefits, and diversity helps cover nutritional gaps .
2. Optimize Protein Intake:
Include a combination of protein-rich plant foods throughout the day. Complementing grains with legumes or nuts and seeds can enhance the amino acid profile and support protein needs.
3. Consume Iron-Rich Foods with Vitamin C:
Pair iron-rich foods like lentils or tofu with vitamin C sources. This combination improves iron absorption and helps prevent deficiencies.
4. Prioritize Calcium-Rich Foods:
Incorporate calcium-rich plant foods into your diet, such as fortified plant milks, tofu, and leafy greens. Ensure a sufficient intake for bone health.
5. Consider B12 Supplementation:
Due to the limited availability of B12 in plant foods, consider a reliable B12 supplement or include fortified foods in your diet. Regular B12 testing is advisable to monitor levels .
6. Include Omega-3-Rich Foods:
Integrate omega-3-rich foods like flaxseeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and walnuts into your meals. Consider algal oil supplements for a direct source of vegan omega-3s .
7. Optimize Zinc Absorption:
Soak, ferment, or sprout zinc-rich plant foods to reduce phytates that hinder absorption. Including a variety of zinc sources in your diet can also help meet your requirements .
8. Ensure Vitamin D:
Get regular sun exposure and consider fortified plant milks or vitamin D supplements to meet your needs. Adequate vitamin D is crucial for bone health and overall well-being .
9. Monitor Iodine Intake:
Use iodized salt or incorporate seaweed into your diet to ensure sufficient iodine intake. Regular monitoring can prevent deficiencies or excess intake .
Potential Challenges and Solutions
1. Nutrient Absorption:
Plant compounds like phytates and oxalates can hinder nutrient absorption. Cooking, soaking, or fermenting foods can reduce these compounds and enhance nutrient availability .
2. Vitamin B12 Deficiency:
B12 deficiency is common among vegans. Regularly check B levels and consider supplements or fortified foods to meet requirements.
3. Iron Absorption:
Non-heme iron from plant sources is less readily absorbed. Pairing iron-rich foods with vitamin C sources and avoiding consuming them with inhibitors like coffee or tea can enhance absorption .
4. Omega-3 Balance:
Maintaining a balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids is essential. Minimize processed oils and include more whole food sources of omega-3s to achieve optimal ratios.
5. Calcium from Absorption:
Some plant compounds can inhibit calcium absorption. Ensuring an adequate intake and diversifying calcium sources can mitigate potential issues.
Conclusion
Creating a balanced vegan diet that meets all nutritional needs is achievable with careful planning and a diverse selection of plant foods. By prioritizing a variety of nutrient-rich sources, optimizing food combinations, and considering supplementation where necessary, you can enjoy the numerous benefits of a vegan lifestyle while ensuring your health and well-being.
It's advisable to consult with a registered dietitian or healthcare professional, especially if you have specific dietary concerns, to tailor a vegan eating plan that suits your individual needs and goals.

Unlocking the Benefits of Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Enhancing Heart Health and Cognitive Function with Fish Oil
Tumblr media
In today's fast-paced and demanding world, taking care of our heart health and cognitive function has become more important than ever. Luckily, nature has bestowed upon us a powerful ally – omega-3 fatty acids. These essential fats are found abundantly in fish oil and have been extensively researched for their numerous health benefits. In this article, we will explore the impact of omega-3 fatty acids on heart health and cognitive function, providing insights into why incorporating fish oil into our daily regimen could be the game-changer we need. Section 1: Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Heart Health 1.1 The Role of Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids, specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy heart. These fats help reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, and prevent the formation of blood clots, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. 1.2 Protecting Against Heart Disease: Numerous studies have shown that a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids can significantly lower the risk of heart disease. Regular consumption of fish oil has been associated with reduced triglyceride levels, improved cholesterol profiles, and decreased arterial plaque buildup. 1.3 Managing Blood Pressure: Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a major risk factor for heart disease. Omega-3 fatty acids have demonstrated their ability to regulate blood pressure levels, promoting healthy cardiovascular function. Section 2: Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Cognitive Function 2.1 Enhancing Brain Function: The human brain is composed predominantly of fat, and omega-3 fatty acids contribute to its overall structure and function. DHA, in particular, is crucial for the development and maintenance of brain cells, supporting optimal cognitive function throughout life. 2.2 Protecting Against Cognitive Decline: As we age, cognitive decline becomes an increasing concern. Incorporating omega-3 fatty acids into our diet may help reduce the risk of conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Studies have shown that these essential fats help protect the brain against inflammation, oxidative stress, and amyloid plaque formation – all contributing factors to cognitive decline. 2.3 Supporting Mental Health: Emerging evidence suggests a link between omega-3 fatty acid deficiency and mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety. Supplementation with fish oil has been shown to improve symptoms in individuals suffering from these conditions, potentially acting as a natural mood enhancer. Section 3: Incorporating Fish Oil into Your Lifestyle 3.1 Food Sources of Omega-3 Fatty Acids: While fish oil supplements are readily available, obtaining omega-3 fatty acids through food sources is equally essential. Fatty fish, including salmon, mackerel, and sardines, are particularly rich in these fats. Other plant-based sources like chia seeds, walnuts, and flaxseeds also provide a vegan-friendly option for obtaining omega-3s. 3.2 Choosing the Right Fish Oil Supplement: For those who struggle to include enough omega-3s in their diet, supplements can be an efficient solution. When selecting a fish oil supplement, it is vital to choose a reputable brand that undergoes rigorous testing to ensure purity, potency, and absence of contaminants. Conclusion: Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil hold tremendous potential in enhancing heart health and cognitive function. With their anti-inflammatory properties and ability to support crucial bodily functions, incorporating these essential fats into our daily lives can be a proactive step towards overall well-being. Whether through dietary changes or supplementing, let us harness the power of omega-3 fatty acids and unlock their remarkable benefits.

What does peppermint essential oil add to help hair growth?
Tumblr media
Peppermint essential oil, coconut oil, and olive oil are all highly regarded natural products for hair care. Each has their own unique nutritional profile, which when combined creates powerful hair growth effects.
Coconut oil is a natural oil rich in vitamin E and fatty acids. It penetrates into the hair fiber to nourish and hydrate the hair, enhancing shine and softness. Peppermint essential oil, when mixed with coconut oil, provides nutrients to the scalp and increases the environment for hair growth.
Peppermint essential oil is widely believed to have blood-stimulating properties. By mixing peppermint essential oil with coconut oil and using it by massaging your scalp, you can stimulate hair follicles and increase their nutrient supply to promote healthy hair growth.
Olive oil is rich in vitamin E, antioxidants and fatty acids that repair and strengthen hair. When peppermint essential oil is mixed with olive oil, it can provide the nourishment needed by hair, repair damaged parts, and increase the strength and elasticity of hair at the same time.
Before mixing peppermint essential oil with coconut oil or olive oil, make sure they are in the right ratio. A common recommendation is to add 10 drops of peppermint essential oil to every 100ml of coconut oil or olive oil. The blended oil blend can be gently massaged into the scalp to stimulate blood circulation and applied throughout the hair, then rinsed off with lukewarm water.
Although peppermint oil, coconut oil, and olive oil are all natural products, they need to be used with caution. Before use, it is best to do a skin test to make sure there is no allergic reaction. Also, moderation is key, and don't overuse oil blends that can cause scalp irritation or an oily feel.
Combining peppermint essential oil with coconut oil or olive oil can provide many benefits for hair growth. Coconut oil nourishes and hydrates hair, olive oil repairs and strengthens hair, while peppermint oil boosts blood circulation and stimulates healthy hair follicle growth. Remember the proper ratio when using, and conduct a skin test to ensure safe use. May you have healthy, strong hair!
How long does it take for peppermint essential oil to treat hair?
The first thing to note is that everyone's hair is different and therefore will respond differently to peppermint essential oil. Some people may see noticeable results within a short period of time, while others may take longer. Therefore, there is no fixed schedule that works for everyone.
Typically, within a few weeks of starting to use peppermint essential oil for your hair, you may experience a cooler scalp and a fresh feeling. This is because peppermint essential oil has stimulating blood circulation and refreshing properties. However, actual hair growth takes longer.
The effectiveness of peppermint essential oil is affected by many factors, including hair health, individual genetics, etc. If your hair is already damaged or has other issues, such as dandruff or hair loss, it may take longer to see noticeable results. In addition, the frequency of using peppermint essential oil and the correct method of use will also have an impact on the results.
As a rule of thumb, it is usually recommended to use peppermint essential oil to care for your hair continuously for at least 8 to 12 weeks before you can see initial results. This time is enough to provide adequate nutrition and moisture to the hair and stimulate the healthy growth of hair follicles. However, everyone is different and the onset of effects may be delayed or earlier.
It takes patience and consistent effort to see the results of using peppermint essential oil on your hair. While there is no definitive timetable for everyone, initial results are usually seen after 8 to 12 weeks of continuous use. When used faithfully and in combination with other natural products such as coconut oil or olive oil, the effects of peppermint essential oil can be enhanced. Most importantly, maintain a positive attitude and good hair care habits to achieve the desired hair growth results.

Science about meat as ironic as a fatty heart
Startup companies around the world are developing cultivated meat—cell-grown chicken, beef, pork, and fish. Most are in early stages of development, not ready for large-scale production and, with a couple of exceptions, not yet approved for commercial sale.
Most of those products in development are in the form of an unstructured mixture of cells—think chicken nuggets instead of a slice of chicken breast. What is lacking is the real texture of a fillet or steak—a texture created by muscle fibers, connective tissue, and fat.
It’s the fat that contributes not only texture, but also to its delicious flavor to the meat. Consumer tests with natural beef of varying fat content showed the highest scores for beef containing 36% fat.
Producing cultured fat tissue in sufficient quantities has been a major challenge, because as the fat grows into a mass, the cells in the middle become starved of oxygen and nutrients. In nature, blood vessels and capillaries deliver oxygen and nutrients throughout the tissue. Researchers still have no way to replicate that vascular network at large scale in lab-grown tissue, so they can only grow muscle or fat to a few millimeters in size.
To get around this limitation, the researchers grew fat cells derived from mice and pigs first in a flat, two-dimensional layer, then harvested those cells and aggregated them into a three-dimensional mass with binders such as alginate (developed from seaweed) and microbial transglutaminase (MTG), which are both already used in some commercial foods.
“Our goal was to develop a relatively simple method of producing bulk fat. Since fat tissue is predominantly cells with few other structural components, we thought that aggregating the cells after growth would be sufficient to reproduce the taste, nutrition, and texture profile of natural animal fat,” said John Yuen Jr., a graduate student working at the Tufts University Center for Cellular Agriculture (TUCCA). “This can work when creating the tissue solely for food, since there’s no requirement to keep the cells alive once we gather the fat in bulk.”
Taste and Feel
The aggregated fat cells immediately had the appearance of fat tissue, but to see if they truly reproduced the features of native fat from animals, the team carried out a further series of experiments.
First, they explored the texture, by compressing the fat tissue and seeing how much pressure it could withstand compared to natural animal fat. They found that cell-grown fat bound with alginate was able to withstand a similar amount of pressure as fat tissue in livestock and poultry, and that the cell-grown fat bound with MTG behaved more like rendered fat, similar to lard or tallow. This suggests it could be possible to fine-tune the texture of cultured fat using different types and amounts of binders, so that it most closely resembles the real-life texture of fat within meat.
The molecular composition of fat is important, too. Cooking releases hundreds of compounds that add flavor and aroma to the meat, and most of those compounds originate from fat, including lipids and their component fatty acids.
The Tufts research team examined the composition of molecules from the cell-grown fat and found that the mix of fatty acids from cultured mouse fat differed from native mouse fat, but that cultured pig fat had a much closer fatty acid profile to the native tissue. The team’s preliminary research suggests it might be possible to supplement growing fat cells with different lipids to ensure that they more closely match the fatty acid composition of natural meat.
“This method of aggregating cultured fat cells with binding agents can be translated to large-scale production of cultured fat tissue in bioreactors—a key obstacle in the development of cultured meat,” said David Kaplan, Stern Family professor of biomedical engineering at Tufts and director of TUCCA. “We continue to look at every aspect of cultured meat production with an eye toward enabling mass production of meat that looks, tastes, and feels like the real thing.”
TUCCA has been leading the development of a growing industry in cellular agriculture, and along with a consortium of academic and corporate members – the TUCCA Consortium – it is solving key technological challenges in cell grown meat production. Their vision is nothing less than ushering in a 3rd epoch in human harvesting of food -- from hunting to domesticated animal farming to cellular agriculture

What’s the Difference Between ‘Good’ and ‘Bad’ Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a lipid-like (fatty) substance present in the blood that our body usually needs to act as precursors for the production of Vitamin D, hormones, digestive acids to help in the breakdown of fats in one’s diet, and other important biological substances. It is one of those terms that everyone may be aware of but doesn’t know its actual meaning when it comes down to their health.
Tumblr media
To clearly understand cholesterol, one must know about triglycerides too. Triglycerides are the fatty components of the body or those fats that a person receives through food. Its levels in blood tests indicate the fats that the body has absorbed in the blood from the recently eaten foods. The triglycerides are later packaged by the liver as fats in adipose tissues and some of them are turned into cholesterol. So, cholesterol marks the fats that a person has received through diet over a long period. This means, after a few days or weeks of eating a fatty meal, an individual has high cholesterol levels in their blood.
As soon as people hear the word “cholesterol,” mostly they relate it to health issues. However, that’s not always true. Cholesterol can be bad and good and only when there is too much bad cholesterol in one’s body and less good cholesterol, there is a high risk of cardiac problems like stroke and heart attack. So, what’s the difference between the two types of cholesterol? How do keep the good and bad cholesterol in balance for maintaining good health? Continue reading to get into the heart of the matter.
What do Good and Bad Cholesterol Mean?
Good cholesterol medically refers to the High-Density Lipoproteins (HDL) while Bad cholesterol is the Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) or Very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) produced in the liver. All these lipoproteins in blood together make up for one’s total cholesterol.
National Institute of Health has prepared a chart depicting the different levels of bad and good cholesterol as well as total cholesterol and the categories to which they belong. It is as follows:
Bad Cholesterol (LDL) Level
Less than 100 mg/dL: Optimal category
100-129 mg/dL: Near-Optimal
130-159 mg/dL: Borderline High
160-189 mg/dL: High
190 mg/dL and above: Very High
Good Cholesterol (HDL) Level
Less than 40 mg/dL: It shows a greater possibility of having heart disease
40-59 mg/dL: The higher the levels the better is heart health
60 mg/dL and higher: It indicates minimal or no risk of heart disease.
Total Cholesterol Level
Below 200 mg/dL: Desirable category
200-239 mg/dL: Borderline high
240 mg/dL and above: High.
In a lipid profile test done on the patient’s blood sample, the healthcare provider can detect the levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and even triglycerides. After knowing that, the doctor can accordingly treat the patients and guide them on how to bring their cholesterol levels in balance.
Good Cholesterol Vs Bad Cholesterol
The role of the good type of cholesterol is to transport the excess cholesterol from all the blood vessels throughout the body to the liver where it can be eliminated from the body. This way, it may protect the body against the narrowing of the blood vessels. However, its levels must be at least 60 mg/dL or higher otherwise those who have 40 mg/dL or below are at an increased risk for heart disease.
On the other side, a bad type of cholesterol is problematic as it can worsen the narrowing of arteries and blood vessels by building along their inner walls. The medical condition where this plaque build-up occurs and results in hard and narrow arteries is called atherosclerosis. It can result in reduced flow of blood to the heart, kidney disease, peripheral artery disease, and heart disease. Ideally, the levels of bad cholesterol must be as low as possible. A normal person usually would have LDL levels less than 100mg/dL while those who have above 100mg/dL of LDL or VLDL could be at high risk of developing severe health complications.
Causes and Complications of Having High Levels of Bad Cholesterol:
The causes of having high levels of LDL cholesterol include:
A fat-rich diet
Sedentary lifestyle
Liver disease
Chronic kidney disease
Family history
Obesity or Syndrome X-a metabolic syndrome
Smoking
Excessive intake of alcohol
HIV/AIDS
Hypothyroidism
Lupus
Diabetes
A side effect of the intake of certain medications to treat other health issues like acne, HIV/AIDS, hypertension, cancer, irregular heart rhythms, and organ transplants.
As, the presence of high levels of bad cholesterol obstructs the flow of oxygen-rich blood that the heart needs, it can result in:
Stroke
Chest pain (Angina)
Heart attack
How to Balance HDL and LDL levels?
There are various ways that a person can raise the levels of good cholesterol (HDL) and lower the levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) to rebalance them to normal numbers and minimize the risk of heart disease and other health issues. These include:
Change in Diet- Adopt a heart-healthy diet that involves cutting down on trans fats like eating red meat, butter, and hydrogenated oils; limiting sugar intake, and increasing the intake of good fats as found in the fish, avocado, and flax seed, and even fibers that can be derived from plant-based foods. Mainly vegan diets can help in reducing the risk of cardiac problems.
Regular Exercises- Try for 30 minutes daily workout of moderate or high intensity for at least 5 days per week. This way one can maintain a body mass index of 30 or less and have a stable body weight.
Lifestyle Modifications- This includes quitting smoking, limiting excessive alcohol consumption, and managing stress through different relaxation techniques.
Intake of LDL-Lowering Medications- If natural ways don’t work out, the doctor can prescribe medications to normalize the cholesterol levels.
Outlook:
In the majority of instances, elevated cholesterol is a warning indication. However, even if a diagnosis of high cholesterol does not guarantee heart disease or a stroke, it should be addressed carefully.
If a person has high cholesterol, they may take actions to lower it, which will likely lessen their risk of heart disease and stroke. Changes in lifestyle that lower cholesterol also improves general health.
Prevention Advice
One is never too young to consider avoiding high cholesterol levels. Eating a healthy, balanced diet is an essential first step. Here are some adjustments you can make immediately:
Replace white rice with brown rice and standard pasta with whole wheat pasta.
Instead of high-fat salad dressings, use olive oil and a dab of lemon juice to season salads.
Eat more seafood. At least two servings of fish should be consumed every week.
Substitute seltzer water or plain water flavored with fresh fruit slices for soda or fruit juice.
Instead of frying meats, bake them in the oven.
Substitute non-fat Greek yogurt for sour cream. Greek yogurt tastes similarly sour.
Choose whole grain cereals over sugar-filled ones. Try using cinnamon instead of sugar as a topping.

How to Maintain CRP Level in COVID-19
1. Ear Anti-inflammatory Foods Understanding how to naturally reduce CRP levels requires understanding how to manage inflammation. Inflammation is an immunological response that alerts your body to the presence of foreign invaders or autoimmune cells attacking your tissues. Consider it a distress signal, manifested as joint pain and stiffness. However, if it continues or becomes more intense, it is doing more harm than good.
If your CRP level is high, consume anti-inflammatory foods that significantly lower chronic inflammation, such as the following:
Turmeric
Avocado
Berries
Beets
Broccoli
Fatty Fish 
Dark Chocolate
Orange
Nuts
Olive Oil
Anti-inflammatory nutrition lowers C-reactive protein levels by creating chemicals that combat the illness. For example, fatty fish such as mackerel and salmon provide long-chain omega-3 fatty acids that, when transformed into chemicals known as protectins and resolvins, contain anti-inflammatory qualities.
2. Maintain a Healthy Body Weight The development of C-reactive proteins is influenced by body weight. According to research, higher body weight resulted in elevated CRP levels. As a result, if you're looking for techniques to lower CRP levels, it makes sense to aim for and maintain a healthy body weight. Losing weight involves eating a better diet that includes the anti-inflammatory foods discussed above. Furthermore, frequent physical activity is required to burn stored fat and enhance metabolism.
If you're having problems losing weight, you may always join up for coaching or consult with a dietitian or your healthcare professional. Another important step is to be evaluated for underlying disorders that prevent metabolic improvement. Check out our blood test for a weight loss profile.

How Plant Based Diet Can Affect Your Mood?
Going Vegan has risen in popularity over the last few years, thanks to its environmental and health benefits. But recent studies have found out that along with its environmental and health benefits Vegan diet or Plant-Based Diet can also improve your mood and productivity levels. Eating a plant-based diet with unadulterated vitamins and minerals straight from the earth is the best way to improve your health and mood. Plant-based foods grown in organic soil are the absolute best source of the vitamins and trace elements your brain and body need to feel at their best. Calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, vitamin A, vitamin C, amino acids that make up proteins, and even all of the omega-3 fatty acids can be ingested through plant-based foods.
Here are some ways a vegan diet may affect your mood:
1. You May Feel Less Depressed
Recent researches have found that vegetarians may be happier than their meat-eating counterparts. These researches have shown that Vegetarians had lower scores on depression tests and mood profiles than fish and meat-eaters.  And why could that be so?  By eliminating long-chain fatty acids, especially arachidonic acid, which is present in meat and which is associated with symptoms of depression, you have a lower risk of developing it. Vegan diets also contain more complex carbohydrates that increase the feel-good hormone serotonin in the brain.
2. Improved Health Could Equal A Better Mood
You will consume more vitamins and nutrients on a vegan diet than on a meat diet, which helps fight disease. Vitamin C, for example, is one of the best immune system stimulants as it helps your body produce antibodies and also stimulates the production of white blood cells, which help prevent unwanted diseases. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps fight infections. Lower risk of illness = an overall better mood. When you're sick, you tend to feel lethargic, drained, and miserable, so a vegan diet can help prevent this from happening.
3. You Might Have A Better Quality Of Sleep
Because of the increased consumption of vitamins like magnesium and calcium, you have a more regulated and effective sleep cycle. Magnesium helps improve sleep health, while calcium contributes to a healthy sleep cycle. We all know that lack of sleep can put us in a bad mood. The highest source of magnesium comes from plant foods like spinach, pumpkin seeds, and avocados.
4. You May Have Decreased Stress Levels
Eating a vegan diet will help lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight, which means you will have better overall physical health. In turn, this can mean lower levels of anxiety and stress. The vitamins calcium, potassium, magnesium, and vitamin B have been linked to lower levels of stress, and you will consume them to a greater extent on a vegan diet. The antioxidants in vitamins A, C, and E help reduce free radical damage, which increases stress.

Unlocking the Benefits of Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Enhancing Heart Health and Cognitive Function with Fish Oil
Tumblr media
Introduction: In today's fast-paced and demanding world, taking care of our heart health and cognitive function has become more important than ever. Luckily, nature has bestowed upon us a powerful ally – omega-3 fatty acids. These essential fats are found abundantly in fish oil and have been extensively researched for their numerous health benefits. In this article, we will explore the impact of omega-3 fatty acids on heart health and cognitive function, providing insights into why incorporating fish oil into our daily regimen could be the game-changer we need. Section 1: Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Heart Health 1.1 The Role of Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids, specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy heart. These fats help reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, and prevent the formation of blood clots, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. 1.2 Protecting Against Heart Disease: Numerous studies have shown that a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids can significantly lower the risk of heart disease. Regular consumption of fish oil has been associated with reduced triglyceride levels, improved cholesterol profiles, and decreased arterial plaque buildup. 1.3 Managing Blood Pressure: Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a major risk factor for heart disease. Omega-3 fatty acids have demonstrated their ability to regulate blood pressure levels, promoting healthy cardiovascular function. Section 2: Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Cognitive Function 2.1 Enhancing Brain Function: The human brain is composed predominantly of fat, and omega-3 fatty acids contribute to its overall structure and function. DHA, in particular, is crucial for the development and maintenance of brain cells, supporting optimal cognitive function throughout life. 2.2 Protecting Against Cognitive Decline: As we age, cognitive decline becomes an increasing concern. Incorporating omega-3 fatty acids into our diet may help reduce the risk of conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Studies have shown that these essential fats help protect the brain against inflammation, oxidative stress, and amyloid plaque formation – all contributing factors to cognitive decline. 2.3 Supporting Mental Health: Emerging evidence suggests a link between omega-3 fatty acid deficiency and mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety. Supplementation with fish oil has been shown to improve symptoms in individuals suffering from these conditions, potentially acting as a natural mood enhancer. Section 3: Incorporating Fish Oil into Your Lifestyle 3.1 Food Sources of Omega-3 Fatty Acids: While fish oil supplements are readily available, obtaining omega-3 fatty acids through food sources is equally essential. Fatty fish, including salmon, mackerel, and sardines, are particularly rich in these fats. Other plant-based sources like chia seeds, walnuts, and flaxseeds also provide a vegan-friendly option for obtaining omega-3s. 3.2 Choosing the Right Fish Oil Supplement: For those who struggle to include enough omega-3s in their diet, supplements can be an efficient solution. When selecting a fish oil supplement, it is vital to choose a reputable brand that undergoes rigorous testing to ensure purity, potency, and absence of contaminants. Conclusion: Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil hold tremendous potential in enhancing heart health and cognitive function. With their anti-inflammatory properties and ability to support crucial bodily functions, incorporating these essential fats into our daily lives can be a proactive step towards overall well-being.
