Facts about Coenzyme Q10 

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

CoQ10 is a nutrient that is naturally found in the body. As we age, our bodies produce less of this important nutrient plus our bodies break it down at a faster rate. It’s a very important nutrient. Check all that it does:

Cardiovascular Health: CoQ10 may improve heart function and reduce the risk of heart disease by acting as an antioxidant and supporting energy production in heart cells.

Antioxidant Activity: CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant that can protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that contribute to aging and disease.

Energy Production: CoQ10 is essential for the production of energy in the body’s cells. It may improve physical performance and reduce fatigue.

Muscle Function: CoQ10 may support muscle function and reduce muscle pain and weakness, particularly in individuals taking statin medications.

Neurological Health: Some studies suggest that CoQ10 may benefit individuals with certain neurological conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease and migraines.

Fertility: CoQ10 may improve fertility in women by enhancing the quality of eggs.

Other Potential Benefits: CoQ10 may have anti-aging effects, improve skin health, and regulate blood sugar levels.

You can find CoQ10 in beef, pork, chicken, fatty fish, eggs, spinach and broccoli but not in the amounts that we need, o supplementation is key.

Also know that if you are on a statin drug, that Rx stops your body’s natural production of CoQ10 so supplementing is critical.

Advice from an Urgent Care!

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Everyone is getting sick now so it is a good idea to stay out of other folks faces.
You know RSV, Mycoplasma pneumonia, Flu A & B are going around. So many people
are showing up at urgent care, daily. after all, it’s winter and this year’s weather is making it worse.

They all need to be treated symptomatically, these are all viruses, that can last up to two or three weeks, especially walking pneumonia—which can leave you with a hacking cough for months.

There’s no antibiotic treatment for viruses so, .over the counter Mucinex DM (and the like) will loosen all the mucus and thin it out. Increasing fluids, also helps so go heavy on the water intake!

Using a humidifier if you have one will help keep your lungs clear of mucous,.

Take hot steamy showers with vapor tablets— it will feel like heaven and help loosen the mucous.

Take cough medicine for your cough (if you get rid of the mucus, you get rid of the cough)
Take Tylenol/ibuprofen for your fever, pain, headaches, etc.. Also, sinus flushing (sinus suction for the toddlers) or a netipot can be one of the best things you can do for the sinus pressure headaches.

If you have a nebulizer, use it every four to six hours (especially if you are asthmatic). If you don’t have the solution from the doctor, mix two cups of sterile water (bottled or boiled) with one teaspoon of salt. Believe it or not, it will help to break up all that mucus in your lungs, chest, and sinuses.

Stay well!

BEWARE OF ASPARTAME

Artificial Sweetener called Aspartame is actually a brain drug that stimulates your brain so you think that the food you’re eating tastes sweet. You’ll notice that when using Aspartame everything you eat at the same time also tastes sweet.

Aspartame breaks down to Aspartic Acid 40%, Phenylalanine 50%, and Methanol 10%at 86 degrees—which to some, it becomes as poisonous concoction
For example, there is mounting evidence that the “Burning Mouth Syndrome” experienced by the Desert Storm troops was actually Methanol poisoning from the Diet Coke they heavily drank after it had been exposed to desert temperatures.

Aspartames 40% Aspartic Acid is an “excitotoxin” in the brain and excites neurons to death, that is, it kills brain cells and causes other nerve damage and it triggers Migraine Headaches. If you consume foods containing aspartame and begin to display some of the symptoms displayed below, you may want to stop. using those products to see if your symptoms showing sign of improvement. Sometimes, avoiding added chemicals is the best action you can take.

New Finding on Vitamin D Levels!

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

New research reveals that vitamin D may play a more significant role in overall health than previously understood. A comprehensive review of 99 randomized, controlled trials involving over 17,000 participants worldwide offers new insights into the potential benefits of vitamin D supplementation.

Key findings suggest that taking an average of 3,320 IU of vitamin D daily may lead to improvements in several health markers:

  • reduced blood pressure
  • lower overall cholesterol
  • decreased Hemoglobin A1C
  • improved fasting blood glucose and insulin levels

Many of you only take 2000 IU’s, and this suggests that may not be enough. Remember that D3/K2 is critical to help get the vitamin D out of the blood (which can lead to calcifications) and to the bones where it is needed!

The Olive Oil Deception 

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Did you know that olives are a fruit?
And just like fruit juice, olive oil tastes best and is the most nutritious when it’s fresh.

Fresh-pressed olive oil has the highest levels of antioxidants, polyphenols, and a unique anti-cancer compound called Oleocanthol.

But there’s a problem:
According to Forbes, “It’s been reliably reported that 80% of the Italian olive oil on the market is fraudulent. A study last year by the National Consumer League found that six of 11 bottles of Extra Virgin olive oil from three major retailers—Whole Foods, Safeway, and Giant—failed to meet Extra Virgin requirements.”
Yes, many olive oil companies produce low quality olive oil diluted with other oils, and some companies sell “olive oil” that isn’t even made from olives!

In his book, Extra Virginity, olive oil expert, Tom Mueller, warns of contaminants and cancer-causing agents in these fake olive oils:
“Italian investigators have found hydrocarbon residues, pesticides, and other contaminants in fake oils, and pomace oil, a common adulterant, sometimes contains mineral oil as well as PAHs, proven carcinogens that can also damage DNA and the immune system.”

So how do you know if it’s authentic?

The Label: The label should indicate the harvest date and whether the oil has been blended with other oils. Look for a quality seal from the International Olive Council (IOC) for European oils or the California Olive Oil Council for American oils, which indicate that the oil has been tested and meets certain standards.

The Bottle: The bottle should be dark colored glass to protect against UV Ray exposure

The Taste: Authentic EVOO has a bright flavor with hints of fruit, grass, and almond, and a slightly bitter, peppery aftertaste. Low-quality or “fake” EVOO may taste dull, greasy, waxy, or crayon-like, or have no flavor.

So shop carefully and read those labels!
