Chelated Minerals Chelated minerals are minerals that have been chemically altered to become more bio-available to your body. Amino acids act as carriers to ship the minerals to the destination (the small intestine) where consumption takes place. The chelation process criteria established by nature include the following: A true chelate that is stable requires at…
Bio-availability? Bioavailability refers to the amount a nutrient is actually absorbed and used by the body. Certain compounds in foods may diminish or enhance the bioavailability of different minerals in the gut. The phytates and oxalates of leafy vegetables hinder both iron and calcium absorption, while vitamin C and vitamin D enhance it. Dietary lipids…
Most important Trace Minerals Zinc: Zinc is involved in the synthesis and stabilization of proteins, DNA and RNA, as well as in playing a structural role in membranes. Zinc also helps regulate gene transcription and is needed for sperm production and fetal growth. A mild deficiency could lead to diabetes, AIDS, inflammatory bowel disease, alcoholism,…
What about your Minerals ? Like other plants and animals, we humans rely on organic and inorganic nutrients to support our cellular processes and the structural components that keep us alive and kicking. Minerals are essential for our health and must be obtained from food, as the human body cannot produce them. Plants have been…
Relevant aspects besides the foods: Daily Water Needs: Your weight in kilograms = # oz of filtered, vortexed water, for proper hydration, and naturally flushing of the uric acid from the body. Large amounts of organic Fresh Fruits and Vegetables, including garlic, celery seeds, alfalpha, berries, and lots of vitamin C throughout the day. Select…
About Lactic Acid Lactic acid does not exist as an acid in the body. When the “lactic acid” concentration is measured in the blood, the other form, called “lactate”, is determined. Lactate and lactic acid have different physiological effects. Stiffness after a strenuous event comes mostly from damage to the muscle, not an accumulation of…
Purines/Pyrimidines Purines and Pyrimidines are the building blocks of our DNA & RNA. They carry the genetic code for all living creatures. A purine consists of a hexagonal shaped pyrimidine ring fused to a pentagonal shaped imidazole ring: = + purine pyrimidine imidazole Our DNA molecule is the result of playful interactions between ± 20…
What Foods to avoid ? All of the foods below can be responsible for excessive uric acid production. Even though some do not contain purines, they can still cause the system to produce uric acid. They are as follows: alcohol, anchovies, asparagus, cauliflower, mushrooms, consommé, herring, meat gravies, broth, bouillon, mussels, sardines, red meats, organ…
Uric Acid Treatment Kidneys stones, however, range in color, and also in size from a grain of sand to massive deposits. They consist of pure monosodium urate, calcium oxalate, or calcium phosphate. They form in the collecting tubules, pelvis, or ureters, and cause obstruction, dilatation, and atrophy. Eventually, this will lead to acute kidney failure….
About Gout Cell replacement causes ‘old’ cells to release purines (DNA’s core elements), which then break down in uric acid. These acids are then excreted in the urine by the kidneys. purine uric acid An overproduction of uric acids will lead to the formation of tiny, shard-like crystals. The body then reacts by producing…
