Vitamin A Needed for Healthy Sex Organs
2008-07-17 11:30:00 Did you know that vitamin A is actually responsible for our sexuality? Without proper amounts of vitamin A, the gonads can't manufacture our sex hormones. These hormones regulate our sexual desires and abilities. For males proper amounts of vitamin A can mean healthy sperm and virility. For females it means responsiveness, and the ability to conceive, and to carry the fetus to full term in the womb.Vitamin A is an essential human nutrient which is commonly attributed to better vision, healthy skin and bone growth (besides calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium). But besides these, it is also involved in many of our body’s processes such as cell growth and development, immune function, reproduction, embryonic development, reduction of heart diseases and cancer, and its antioxidant activity. In fact, it doesn’t only reduce the possibility of cancer but some sources are also citing its ability to cure both cancer and leukemia even better than chemotherapy.Vitamin A is required for our...

Longer Nights with Vitamin C
2008-06-29 17:01:00 Rose hips are particularly rich in vitamin CBesides its popular role as a vitamin that enhances the body's resistance against a wide range of diseases, including bacterial and viral complications, did you know that vitamin C can boost your sex drive? Vitamin C or L-ascorbate is an essential nutrient for us humans including our cousin primates, other mammalian species (notably guinea pigs and bats), a few species of birds, and some fish. The presence of ascorbate is required for a range of essential metabolic reactions in all animals and plants. It is made internally by almost all organisms. Unfortunately, humans have no such ability and had to rely to taking it from dietary sources. It is widely known as the vitamin whose deficiency causes scurvy in humans.Primarily, vitamin C participates in the synthesis of hormones that are involved in sex and fertility; such as androgen, estrogen and progesterone. And yet besides that, vitamin C also helps keep your various sex glands running s...

The Importance of the 12 B vitamin
2008-06-02 03:56:00 The 12 b vitamin is one of the b vitamins that are essential to maintain a healthy body. Otherwise known as Cobalamin, the 12b vitamin is needed for the processes to convert the carbohydrates, fats and proteins from food into energy. 12 b also, more importantly, helps keep the red blood cells healthy and therefore prevent heart disease as well as keeping the immune system functioning at its maximum level. In addition, 12 b is used to create the protective covering of all nerve cells in the body. The most important function of 12 b is to form healthy red blood cells. However, all cells need 12 b to keep them healthy. It is the white blood cells, amongst others, that need 12 b to help ensure that the immune system functioning properly. All of the nerve cells in the body also need 12 b to form their protective fatty layer. This is essential for all of the nerves but is especially so for those in the brain. If there is not sufficient 12 b to create this protective layer then the brain w...
New Coke Vitamin Water (Bottle of snake oil not included)
2008-05-30 14:00:00 Tales of Coke's ability to dissolve a set of choppers in a glass overnight or to put a sheen on a rust-stained kitchen sink might be urban legends (we ended up eating the T-bone we had soaking in a vat of the stuff, so we can't comment conclusively on that one, but don't recommend this method of preparation to diabetics), there is no doubt that the soft drink has ruined many alcoholic beverages. As far as we're concerned, Coke is the sine qua non wimp-additive for those who can't handle their liquor, and responsible for ruining otherwise perfectly good rum. You can distinguish the coke-base drunk from your typical drunk by the rotten teeth that accompany his pickled liver in his golden years.The "Cuba Libre", (or Rum & Coke) as it's known in countries, such as Canada, where freedom of mobility rights extend to actually visiting there whenever you choose, is the world's most popular highball though the "Coke" part is usually abandoned for straight rum by the time the tast...

VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES 2
2008-05-19 23:42:00 Vitamin B6 deficiency is seen occasionally in individuals who eat very few plant foods. Seizures occur in babies fed formulas deficient in B6. This has especially been a problem when a relatively high kidney excretion develops during pregnancy, while a mother was given high dose supplements. A number of drugs interfere with vitamin B6 utilization, such as isoniazid, used in the treatment of tuberculosis. Eating a natural varied diet, it is not difficult to get plenty of pyridoxine. It is the vegetable source of vitamin B6. Scurvy is another vitamin deficiency with worldwide prevalence as well as a colorful history. This condition is caused by a deficiency of ascorbic acid, also called vitamin C. It was a common cause of mortality in sailors during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. James Lind, a British naval surgeon, developed a simple cure in 1747 by giving the sailors two oranges and one lemon every day. Their swollen gums, weakness, and bleeding tendencies responded dramatic...
VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES 1
2008-05-18 23:15:00 Although definite diseases can be associated with the excess intake of certain vitamins, these are seldom seen on a large scale. Much more common are the deficiencies described below. Pellagra is a disease caused by the deficiency of niacin, one of the B vitamins. The name is derived from the rough skin characteristically seen crusting around the hands and neck. Painful burning of the mouth, shaking of the body, and less commonly, mental disturbances can result. Pellagra was common in the United States in the early 1900?s. A healthful diet was discovered to be curative. One of the essential amino acids, tryptophan, is converted into nicotinic acid, a counterpart of niacin. Deficiency of other nutrients sometimes complicates the disease. Individuals subsisting on a diet primarily of corn are predisposed to pellagra, since corn protein is low in tryptophan and most of the milling removes the vitamin.Classically pellagra is characterized by the ?three D?s? ? diarrhea, dermatitis, and d...

Vitamin D Deficiency Linked to Breast Cancer Risk
2008-05-16 20:25:00 From the L.A. Times and Mount Sinai Hospital comes a report that breast cancer patients who had below-normal levels of vitamin D when diagnosed were a staggering 94% more likely to have their cancer metastasize, and 73% more likely to die within 10 years of diagnosis. These results are preliminary and it is far too early for doctors to begin advising women to take vitamin D to help combat cancer. That said, striving for 100% of the daily recommended amount would be wise anyway. Vitamin D has a number of beneficial effects on the body, although taking too much can also cause problems. The best form of vitamin D, D3, is produced naturally in the body due to exposure to sunlight, and is considered the most useful form. So spending more time in the sunlight may have beneficial effects for helping fight breast cancer or preventing its spread. But be careful not to get skin cancer from over-exposure!

Vitamin Packs
2008-05-09 19:28:00 Vitamin packs. They seem appealing but are they really better or cheaper? I take a multivitamin daily and a couple of supplements. It would be more convenient to get the packages. Convenience doesn’t always spell cheaper. Most of the vitamin packs come in 30 day supplies. Most multivitamins come in three or four month supplies. So when you multiply the cost of one month’s vitamins, by three or four the convenience is not cost efficient. Plus, there is all of the extra packaging for each day’s dose. Instead another option would be to purchase a pill case and put your pills in that for a vacation or to buy a multi day pill organizer and put all of your vitamins for each day into the container. To make it really convenient there are even special blends for people who take certain medications or who have certain health conditions. Instead of shelling out $15 or so for the “convenient” packages, check with your doctor and see which of those supplements your doctor recom...

The benefits of liquid vitamins versus vitamin pills
2008-04-30 22:35:00 Do you remember when they had to hold you down as a kid to take your vitamins? The fact that people don’t want to take their vitamin is nothing new. Many people hate taking their vitamins because they can be a nuisance. Some people say they are just too big and they have trouble trying to swallow them. Other people say that they have so many pills to take daily that it is painful to take that many every day. This is why now there are liquid vitamins. Liquid vitamins provide you all the vitamins that you need daily. Often people that take vitamins are because they just don’t get enough from food or drink. Not only can it supply you with the vitamins, but it is also much easier to consume. All you have to do is pop the cap off and drink, that’s it!

Vitamin E the Sex Vitamin
2008-04-30 12:14:00 When you are deprived of Vitamin E, your testicles will shrink. That’s because a study involving male animals had the same findings when they were not given foods with Vitamin E. In pregnant female animals with vitamin E deficiency, the fetuses were reabsorbed into the uterus, preventing the animals from bearing young. Miraculously, giving the animals even a single drop of vitamin E–rich wheat germ oil restored their fertility. This is one of the many reasons why researchers believe that Vitamin E plays a critical role in boosting human fertility.According to Wikipedia, Vitamin E is the collective name for a set of eight related tocopherols and tocotrienols, which are fat-soluble vitamins with antioxidant properties. Of these, α-tocopherol (alpha tocopherol) has been most studied as it has the highest bioavailability, with the body preferentially absorbing and using this form. It works better hand in hand with Selenium which I’ve discussed earlier. And both works on helping y...

Vitamin C Overdose
2008-04-29 15:20:00 Using Vitamin C products beyond recommended the limits may cause stomachaches and diarrhea. Even though the body would only use as much as it needs of the vitamin, Vitamin C Overdose can hinder metabolic activities in the body.The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for Vitamin C in nonsmoking adults is 75 mg per day for women and 90 mg per day for men. For smokers, the RDAs are 110 mg per day for women and 125 mg per day for men. A dose of 200 milligrams daily is almost enough to maximize plasma and lymphocyte levels.Higher levels of Vitamin C are needed when under environmental stress such as trauma, fever or infection. Full saturation is reached with daily intakes of 200-500 mg per day (in 2-3 divided doses). This is a water-soluble protein, and anything in excess is excreted by the body. Vitamin C Overdose can cause diarrhea, gas, or stomach upset. Other side effects could be stomach cramps, nausea, and diarrhea, and an increased risk of developing kidney stones. Large amounts o...

2008-04-28 10:45:00 Biotin is primarily a component of vitamin B; individuals who go through treatment with medications such as Minoxidil and other hair loss medications (Propecia) typically need added supplementation with biotin for optimal results. This next brings us to the question of what exactly is biotin and its role in hair loss or propagation. Biotin and Hair Loss — What You Need To Know Biotin is primarily, what makes up your hair and nails; this vitamin is not manufactured within the human body; instead it is received through the consumption of foods such as green peas, egg yoke, nuts (particularly, walnuts), soybeans, boats, brown rice etc.. A little known fact is that biotin and proteins bind very easily. When this occurs, it fails to reach the destination of hair and therefore hair loss will increase. Accordingly, it would be best to avoid all different kinds of protein powders and raw eggs. The good news is that you can deliver biotin to your hair in various other ways other...

Vitamin supplements may increase risk of death
2008-04-22 09:44:00 Vitamin supplements taken by millions of people do not increase life expectancy and may raise the risk of a premature death , according to a review of 67 studies with more than 230,000 subjects. The review, by the Cochrane Collaboration which regularly pools data from trials to evaluate drugs and treatments, found supplements vitamin A, vitamin E and beta-carotene are detrimental to health. In 47 trials with 180,938 people and a low risk of bias, the “antioxidant supplements significantly increased mortality”, the authors wrote. When the antioxidants were assessed separately and low risk of bias trials were included and selenium excluded, vitamin A was linked to a 16% increased risk of dying, beta-carotene to a 7% increased risk and vitamin E to a 4% increased risk. Evidence for vitamin C and selenium was more equivocal, suggesting there was no benefit to taking these pills compared with a placebo. “The bottom line is current evidence does not support the use of an...
