B10 ... teie nooremale minale

Liigne juuste väljalangemine, aeglustunud juuksekasv või enneaegne hallinemine võivad olla tingitud mitmetest põhjustest, kusjuures toitumisel on selles oluline roll. Para-aminobensoehape (PABA), tuntud ka kui vitamiin B10 (kuigi ametlikult see vitamiin ei ole), kuulub oluliste toitainete hulka, mis toetavad juuste ja naha tervist ning organismi üldist elujõudu. Lisaks võib see mõjutada ka vananemisprotsessi. Hoolimata oma soodsatest mõjudest on see tänapäeval vähem tuntud, kuigi minevikus peeti seda peaaegu imeliseks vahendiks nooruse säilitamiseks. 20. sajandi 50. aastatel uurisid teadlased PABA-d selle potentsiaali tõttu degeneratiivsete haiguste vastu võitlemisel ja täheldasid juhtumeid, kus hallinemine aeglustus.

B3 - example that food is medicine

Niacin was long considered a mere part of the diet until it was discovered that its deficiency causes skin, digestive, and mental problems known as pellagra. Doctor Goldberger proved that the cause of this disease is not an infection but a one-sided diet without vitamin B3. He conducted an experiment on himself and his colleagues, who consumed exclusively poor diets and began to show symptoms of pellagra. However, when they added nutrients rich in niacin to their diet, the symptoms disappeared. In 1937, niacin was isolated from the liver, confirming its importance and nutritional value.

Is iodine a necessity? ... Iodine - Kelp

Iodine is a trace element, with an interesting role in health, which we associate with the thyroid gland. It occurs naturally in the marine environment and one of the richest natural sources of iodine is kelp seaweed, also known as "Bladderwrack, Norwegian Laminaria," which has been used in traditional medicine and cuisine for centuries. Kelp can absorb large amounts of iodine directly from the ocean. The body needs iodine to produce thyroid hormones, without which much more would not work ... our metabolism would not function properly, we would have little energy, and our minds would be dull.

Histamine Control

Histamine is often perceived negatively, especially for its role in allergic reactions and intolerance. As with many things in life, black-and-white thinking is not suitable for this biogenic amine. As a neurotransmitter, it participates in many critical processes. In defending the body, for example, it supports the enlargement of blood vessels, making it easier for immune cells to access the site of inflammation. At the same time, it stimulates the production of gastric juices (essential for food processing), regulates the sleep cycle, controls appetite, and plays a role in learning, memory, and emotions. Histamine naturally occurs in the human body, and its balance is crucial for health. In the digestive system, it's broken down by the enzyme diamine oxidase. However, if histamine intake is greater than the body can break down, histamine intolerance develops. This imbalance can be caused by stress, poor lifestyle, medicines, or other factors. Excess histamine can lead to unpleasant symptoms, often resembling food allergies or digestive issues. It's essential to understand histamine as an important helper in our body.

Did you catch the latest trend of nature? Choline and Inositol

Sometimes it seems at first glance that we have everything under control, but the reality is often different. "Liters" of coffee, fast food between duties, endless deadlines, constantly ringing phones. The result is fatigue, problems with concentration, forgetting even simple things, moods changing faster than the weather, and nights full of tossing and turning, as if our mind is running at a minimum. In a hectic pace, we do not realize the importance of proper nutrition. The good news is that nature can save us, in nature everything can be in harmony if we combine it from nature, it is a mysterious duo of choline and inositol.It is an ideal combination not only for the body but also for a tired mind, which is calling for help. Although many are unaware of them, choline and inositol work in every cell of our body, keeping our brain in shape, liver clean, and nerves strong. Their effects were discovered relatively recently. Why should we pay attention to these nutrients? 

Vitamin B3 Niacinamide

Vitamin B3 - niacin, perhaps also known to the elderly as P. It belongs to the group of B vitamins found in the multiform B-complex. It is a very important group that you need for the proper function of eyesight, mucous membranes, skin, heart... You need it for the proper functioning of heart, muscle and nerve activity.

Cordyceps - zombies in reality

Cordyceps sinensis – this is our zombie predator. In China, they call it "winter insect, summer herb". Imagine a fungus that shoots out its spores (seeds) during reproduction in summer, which then attach themselves to the body of an insect. It gradually overgrows the insect's body and parasitises it, literally eating it from the inside, while the insect continues to live, changing its external appearance but continuing to hunt for food until it burrows underground, where it dies and mummifies. The fungus can survive in it for a long time. The fungus literally takes over the host's body, growing out of it in the summer and forming slender "sticks" 5-20 cm high. This inspired the Last of Us video game series, where the Cordyceps fungus turns humans into zombies. In real life, this video game takes place in the real life of insects. The victims are butterfly larvae, large ants, spiders...

Ashwagandha - Withania Somnifera

“Ashwa” (horse) “gandha” (root smell), the name itself hints at the plant's ability to grant strength and vitality (the strength of the animal hidden in the root). Known as “Indian ginseng” (similar shape), and “winter cherry root” (fruits resemble cherries). From the small shrub with yellow flowers, the root is mainly used in traditional medicine. Due to its calming effects, it's significantly known as the Sleep or Dream Berry. The Latin name somnifera also reveals its property ; invoking sleep.

Alchemilka - female cloak

Lady's mantle is a perennial herb that originates from England but has spread throughout the world. Its leaves and flower tops have been used for centuries to relieve menstrual problems, which is why it is often called "woman's cloak". However, it is also suitable for men, effectively helping with pain, laryngitis, bleeding gums or as a gargle for laryngitis. Its name comes from the Arabic word al-khimia. Alchemists tried to make gold from various metals, but also to discover ordinary things. One of the secret ingredients in the production of gold was water captured in the leaves of this plant. As far as we know, it didn't help...

Vitamin A - and I see...

Vitamin A - Retinol, was discovered in 1916. But only 15 years later its chemical structure was determined. And it took another 15 years before we learned to produce it synthetically (in the form of acetate). It's quite rare in dietary supplement stores, which is odd because a lack of it can lead to even gray-blindness.

Omega 3, precious message of the sea

Do you long to wake up with ease in the morning, look fresher, not feel joint pain, have more energy, be able to focus, and feel better in your body? We could find the solution from fishermen who got up earlier than the sun each morning, went out to the sea, and greeted the new day with a smile. These were men who never knew the doctor, had sharp minds even in old age, their hands still firmly held the fishing nets and they lived functional longevity, often working into their 90s. The fishermen's treasure was exactly fish oil, which works similarly to a lubricant for our body: it helps the heart pump blood, keeps the mind fresh, and joints flexible, without it, the joints would be like an old creaking ship. The message that the sea gives us what we need was conveyed to future generations because some gifts of health are too precious to keep to oneself.
