The molybdenum is a mineral with many properties but is well-known to be indispensable on the metabolism and intestinal absorption of iron. To be a trace element has a catalytic role or favors multiple reactions in our agency and favors, in turn, a dosage safer.

Advantages and functions of molybdenum
The molybdenum (MONTH) is a food essential to human beings. The content of tissue of molybdenum is low, with the highest concentrations of the liver, kidney, of the adrenal gland and bone. It is a component of a number of enzymes, including the oxidase sulphite (involved in the amino acid metabolism sulfide), the oxidase xanthine (involved in the oxidation of slurry and pyrimidines and production of uric acid), and the oxidase of aldehino (involved in the oxidation of aldehinos). These enzymes share”cofactor common molybdenum.”

Benefits of Molybdenum
Like the fluor helps prevent tooth decay.
It is essential in the iron metabolism. On the one hand, at the level intestinal favors its absorption. Also mobilized the iron from the reservations there in the liver and favors the formation of red blood cells. Thus may be advisable in some anemia.
Its deficit could encourage some sexual dysfunctions male, such as, for example, the impotence. Read the rest of this entry »

More than two hundreds of British suffering from the disease of the neuron receives driving a daily dose of lithium carbonate as part of an investigation on a possible treatment inexpensive and effective.

Lithium carbonate

It is a substance normally prescribed already for certain diseases of type manic-depressive and now are to determine if it can also curb the rapid deterioration of health in the sick of the neuron driving.

The test, which will be led by Nigel Leigh, responsible for the center for the disease of the neuron engine of King’s College London, follows the publication last February of the results of a study of Italian researchers according to which the lithium seemed slow the progression of disease.

Until now there is no known effective treatment for this very serious disorder of type degenerative that damages the nervous system and destroys the muscles.

Most of the sick to which they diagnosed the evil are forced to use a wheelchair and most die within a period of between two and five years.

There are, however, exceptions, and the case is the best known of British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, who was diagnosed the disease is already 45 years and that, despite being almost virtually paralyzed, has a brain fully active. Read the rest of this entry »

The premenstrual syndrome is suffered by approximately 80 percent of the women of childbearing age and refers to the symptoms emotional or physical that occurs between 5 and 11 days before the start of the monthly cycle.
Even when there is no specific cause to this syndrome, is associated with a hormonal imbalance due largely to the amount of estrogen in blood and the effects on brain chemistry. On the other hand, influencing the levels of chemicals of the brain known as endorphins and serotonin that play an important role in the mood and behavior.
Fortunately, it is known today of natural remedies and medicinal plants to help diminish the effects of this syndrome.

Some plants allied are:
Wormwood: Plant purifying that helps reduce the menstrual pains, in addition to regulate blood sugar levels in the blood calm anxiety of consuming sweets.

Horse tail: Is diuretic and purifying it helps eliminate the fluids accumulating in breasts, hands and feet during the premenstrual syndrome.

Sea Buckthorn: Aid to rebuild and increase the tone vital, very indicated in cases of asthenia (weakness and lack of vitality widespread, both physical and intellectual) and fatigue during the premenstrual syndrome or menstruation. Read the rest of this entry »

There are a number of key terms to understand the work of one of our best allies in the health: the coenzyme Q10.
Knows more about it and its relationship with other chemical processes in the body.

Electrons
The electron is a particle subatomic. In an atom, the electrons surrounding the kernel composed of protons and neutrons. The electrons play a key role in the chemistry since denen attractions with other atoms.

Free Radicals
The free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms that have an electron desperado in capacity to mate, for what they are very reactive. These radical roam our agency attempting to rob an electron of the molecules stable, with which to achieve its stability electrochemistry. Once the free radical has achieved steal the electron that needs, the molecule stable that it be cede it becomes a free radical, starting a true chain reaction that destroys our cells.

The cholesterol does not have a role as protagonist in the cardiovascular diseases such as many people think, the best way to keep at adequate levels is to make exercise, not smoking and eating many fruits and vegetables and little animal fat.

1. Why the cholesterol is so bad?
Because there is a relationship between the high cholesterol and the occurrence of strokes. It is a well-deserved fame only in part. The high cholesterol is not as the glycemic or pressure high, that if they generate metabolic disorders and vascular damage.
In people without genetic predisposition or risk factors (such as smoking, hypertension, diabetes, overweight or lack of exercise) has not been found that the cholesterol moderately high is harmful. Only one very high (300 mg/ml) is harmful in itself.

Then, what is your real weight in cardiovascular disease?
These diseases are multicausal. The LDL cholesterol, known as bad cholesterol, circulating is a necessary condition, but not enough to cause disease. Read the rest of this entry »
