2) Coronary artery disease is usually caused by a build-up of fatty deposits on the walls of the coronary arteries. The fatty deposits, called atheroma, are made up of cholesterol and other waste substances. The build-up of atheroma on the walls of the coronary arteries makes the arteries narrower and restricts the flow of blood to the heart. Cholesterol is a fat made by the liver from the saturated fat that we eat. Cholesterol is essential for healthy cells, but if there is too much in the blood it can lead to CAD.
The pancreas is an organ located behind the stomach that produces chemicals called enzymes, as well as the hormones insulin and glucagon. These enzymes are usually only active after they reach the small intestine, where they are needed to digest food. When they somehow become active inside the pancreas, they digest pancreatic tissue causing swelling, bleeding and damage to blood vessels. Acute pancreatitis affects men more often than women. Certain diseases, surgeries, and habits make one more likely to develop this condition.
John Richie, a professor of public health sciences and pharmacology, taking glutathione supplements orally is not very effective. Since it contains, proteins, most of them will be digested when passed through the gut thus losing some along the way. The preferred method of taking glutathione is through injections. The recommended dosage of cysteine molecule supplements is 10 to 20 grams daily. This will improve health and boost the immune system.
Excessive intake of alcohol, for example, is known to inhibit the proliferation of osteoblasts and this decreases bone formation which in turn causes a significant increase in the risk of fracture among vulnerable groups. Research has also identified tobacco as having a negative effect on bone density by inhibiting the proliferation of osteoblasts. Dietary practices as well as personal preferences which lead to deficiency in vitamin D and oestrogen also constitute a risk factor. Another risk factor is the long term use of glucocorticoids as this promotes apoptosis in bone-building osteoblasts and enhances the survival of bone-resorbing osteoclasts, thereby leading to a rapid decrease in BMD. Finally, low body mass index decreases the secretion of hormones which act on bone and this also stimulates osteoblast action.
This is not the case. Increasing levels of highly fatty foods over a prolonged amount of time is indiscriminante of age, gender or fitness level. Higher levels of saturated fats will increase the amount of cholesterol produced within the liver. The liver is a major site of biochemical activity within the body. Its homeostatic function is to convert food into other forms and remove excess cholesterol from the blood; any excess cholesterol is excreted as bile into the hepatic vein leading to the heart, thus increasing the amount of cholesterol circulated around the blood stream.
The first of them were in the United States in 1810. Now carbonated drinks can be found most anywhere in the world. So, why are carbonated soft drinks a concern for health? Use of carbonated beverages sport drinks and fruit drinks can impact bones health oral health and lead to obesity in young people. Because many carbonated drinks are high in caffeine, they are mildly addictive.
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious condition that can lead to diabetic coma (passing out for a long time) or even death. When your cells don't get the glucose they need for energy, your body begins to burn fat for energy, which produces ketones. Ketones are acids that build up in the blood and appear in the urine when your body doesn't have enough insulin. They are a warning sign that your diabetes is out of control or that you are getting
When they look in the mirror, they do not see how lean and skeletal they appear, rather, they see themselves as needing to lose “just a few more pounds.” With Bulimia, a person consumes large quantities of food to numb their feelings. (Rumney 2009) However, shame and guilt creep in and start the urge to purge. They purge by means of vomiting, excessive exercising, and the use of laxatives or diuretics. Anorexia becomes readily visible once a person drops way below a normal weight. (Carolyn 2007) Yet, with Bulimics, they could appear to have a normal body weight or even appear slightly overweight.
Hydrogen peroxide is also a dangerous, very potent by-product of metabolism, so it is essential that it is broken down quickly, otherwise it would cause damage to cells. Hypothesis I believe that as the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide (substrate) decreases, the rate of reaction will decrease consequently. This is because there will be fewer collisions between the substrate and enzyme molecules (catalase in yeast) – because there are fewer molecules of hydrogen peroxide, so there will be a decrease in enzyme-substrate complexes formed. The reaction will then stop because all of the active sites become saturated with substrate because the enzyme is the limiting factor. This will result in a decreased volume of oxygen being produced as one of the by-products of this reaction.
Because of refined food many people became prone to chronic diseases as heart diseases, and cancer. A diet high in whole grains reduces one’s chance of heart diseases, cancer and diabetes. 2. from Complexity to Simplicity Fertilizers are produced ignoring the biological activity in the soil and keeping in view that plants require big three macronutrients-nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous-to grow. The fertilizers developed with the purpose to increase output from soil destroys the biological activity and forcing plants to depend largely on NPK (nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous). Because of increased use of fertilizers, plants become more prone to pests and diseases, which results in low nutritional quality.
