Inflammation, Cancer and health

Inflammation, Cancer and health – Why your diet is important

Inflammation

Inflammation, Cancer and health. Actually inflammation can lead to several health complication more so if it is chronic inflammation.

The body defense mechanism is always under certain threats despite the measures put in place to defend it from both external and internal attacks. The body immune system and the white blood cells are such defense mechanism the body relays on for protection against diseases and infections. Whenever they are under attack the whole body organs including the skin are at risk of various infections. We are therefore going to discuss the effects of inflammation on human health generally before we can get to specific areas of the body.

What is inflammation?

There are two different kinds of inflammations and they include the following:

  • Acute inflammation
  • Chronic inflammation

Acute inflammation – this is actually your body’s natural and helpful immune response to tissue damage. Like for instance when you get a bruise or wound either from a minor accident or otherwise, the wound or the cut swells, reddens and feels inflamed. These are all signs that your immune system is busy at work sending white blood cells to the site of your injury to repair the tissue. In situation like this, inflammation is our friend and we couldn’t live without it.

Chronic inflammation – this is a situation where your body’s confused and damaging immune response to a bombardment of environmental, physical and mental invaders, which come in the form of things like poor diet, toxic chemicals and stress. Therefore this article will be focusing on the type of inflammation. Here’s chronic inflammation in a nutshell:

What does inflammation have to do with cancer?

Like I have indicated in the introduction that the body’s immune system is facing threats of being weaken by several health complications. For example the prolonged inflammation can harm your body’s healthy cells and tissue thereby causing the deterioration of your immune system. This deteriorated state can escalate your risk of diseases like cancer.

Nevertheless, it is important to note that not all inflammation is bad. Your body’s inflammatory response is essential for you to heal. This response communicates with your body’s immune system to send white blood cells and chemicals to help fight off infection or repair an injury.

But when inflammation persists, or when your body triggers a response when you don’t have an infection or injury, its cause for concern.

Other causes of chronic inflammation can include obesity, smoking and even the second hand smoking, stress, lack of exercise, exposure to secondhand smoke and diet choices. And worse, chronic inflammation often shows no signs.

The good news is you can reduce chronic inflammation and lower your cancer risks. “It starts with your diet”. An anti-inflammatory diet also can help you avoid diabetes, heart disease and Alzheimer’s.

The following are some of the anti-inflammatory diet tips.

Add more plant foods to your plate

Plant foods are the only foods that contain anti-inflammatory phytonutrients. Plus, they are high in the antioxidants and fiber your body needs to stay cancer-free. Fiber also can lower levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a protein in the blood that signals inflammation.

The experts in nutrition recommend filling at least two-thirds of your plate with foods realized naturally from the vegetation. Like for instance:

  • It is advisable that you serve half of your plate with non-starchy vegetables and fruits of all colors.
  • Make one-quarter of your plate whole grains or starchy vegetables, like potatoes, corn and peas.
Limit processed foods

Choosing whole, fresh foods and doing your own prep maximizes nutrients and phytonutrients. These nutrients keep us healthy in many ways, while reducing inflammation.

Processed foods are lower in nutrients and higher in refined sugars, flours and fats. These foods are usually loaded with artificial ingredients that can increase CRP levels.

  • Avoid highly processed foods, like fast food, packaged and instant foods.
  • Steer clear of processed meats, like deli-meats, bacon, sausage, hotdogs and pepperoni.
  • Sodas and other sport drinks are to be no go zones.
Balance fatty acids

Omega-3 fatty acids can help protect your body from chronic inflammation. On the other hand, omega-6 fatty acids increase inflammation.

Many Americans are trying to include more omega-3 fatty acids in their diet. But, they’re still eating too much omega-6 fatty acids.

The key is balance, so you’ll take in more omega-3 and less omega-6.

  • Eat foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, tuna, halibut, flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, pecans and avocado.
  • Use oils high in omega-3, such as olive and canola.
  • Avoid or limit oils high in omega-6, such as corn, sunflower, peanut and soybean.
  • Read the ingredients on packaged foods. Limit foods made with refined vegetable oils high in omega-6. You’ll find these oils in most snack foods, cookies, crackers and sweets.

Reduce consumption of red meat

Eating too much red meat, like pork, beef, lamb, deer and buffalo, can increase your cancer risks. Try to limit red meat to 18 oz. or less each week to keep your cancer risks low.

The experts suggest replacing red meat with these high protein foods to help reduce chronic inflammation.

  • Choose animal proteins, such as skinless chicken, turkey and fish.
  • Replace animal proteins with plant proteins, such as beans and lentils, at some meals.
  • Choose meat, milk, cheese and eggs from pasture-raised and hormone-free animals.

Eat more fermented foods

Fermented foods such as yogurt, sauerkraut and miso contain probiotics that help reduce inflammation. To get the most health perks, eat at least one small serving of a fermented food each day.

  • Choose low-fat, plain organic yogurt and kefir.
  • Try fermented vegetables, such as sauerkraut and kimchi, with a sandwich or salad.
  • Enjoy a cup of miso soup or kombucha tea.

Foods that help prevent cancer also help reduce chronic inflammation, and vice-versa. So, following these guidelines will ultimately reduce your risk of a variety of chronic diseases, and improve your quality of life.

If you’re concerned you have chronic inflammation, speaking to doctor Dalal Akoury will be very helpful to you to unlock all the problems going through your mind. Doctor Akoury is an expert of more than two decades and has transformed many people’s lives through effective treatment which is precise and direct to the last solution. Remember that inflammation may not be friendly to you at all and so scheduling for an appointment the doctor Akoury is the best you can do for yourself, your family and even to the extended family.

Vinegar the Blood Glucose Controller

Vinegar the Blood Glucose Controller: A Secrecy Weapon in the Kitchen Pharmacy

vinegarMost of the dishes in our fast foods restaurants are often accompanied with containers of vinegar. For a long time I never considered putting it into my plate of fries. After all, why would I, if I had all the spicy Hot and Sweet tomato-chili sauce right there with me? Why would I spoil my otherwise tasty meal with what I consider a predominantly female preference-the acidic stuff: Vinegar? This attitude has since changed!

I have come to appreciate the taste of vinegar. Truly some of our sensual responses depend on the attitudes we have previously formed about them. And if you are among the folks who still share my initial attitude toward vinegar then you need to understand what it brings with regard to diabetic conditions.

What studies have found

Recent studies carried out to assess the effects of vinegar have established that taking a given amount of vinegar dosage before meals have great positive results pertaining to the levels of blood sugar. 2 tablespoon portions which amount to about 30 ml dose of vinegar before taking two meals in a day over a period of four weeks was found to help Type 2 diabetic patients to lose weight while at the same time have their blood sugar levels dropped.

The vinegar portions do this by slowing down the dumping of sugar into the bloodstream after a meal. If you have either diabetes type 1 or type 2 therefore, and you take insulin, a shot of vinegar will thus slow down the absorption of sugar from the carbohydrates long enough to give your insulin time to work. Vinegar generally delays the need of body for insulin. It does not however eliminate that need. It only helps to change the glycemic index of the foods you take. This is to say that the vinegar is not a cute for diabetes, it is just a way of dealing with the sugar levels as a control mechanism. This should help clear the air for the rumors that vinegar is a cure for diabetics.

The substance contains a rich amount of organic acids, soluble fiber which is also referred to as pectin, and acetic acid. All these components aid the slow-down of the emptying of the stomach. They delay the digestion of the carbohydrates. With this delayed process of absorbing food from the large intestines, you are assured of a delayed sugar intake by the bloodstream.

Actual vinegar has not been deprived of any of the above compounds. Though vinegar supplements usually have been pasteurized and contain less compounds in them. The substance is known to stop the digestion of carbohydrates in the stomach to a given percentage.

This makes vinegar very useful to people with type 2 diabetes, whose pancreases apparently cannot release insulin fast enough, though they do release the hormone, to take care of all the carbohydrates digested from the food after you have eaten. This involves a case of higher amounts of sugar than the insulin can handle. Vinegar therefore works side by side with the ‘weak’ insulin to ensure the hormone can take its time in dealing with the blood sugars. The message here is: your body still needs insulin whether or not you are using vinegar.

The previous studies have aided the researchers in hypothesizing that the carbohydrates might eventually ferment in the individual’s small intestines. This in effect will create by-products that send a signal to the liver to initiate a negative response by not making as much cholesterol.

It is based on this ground that a number of practitioners have always thought of vinegar as being able to reduce cholesterol from the body. These researches confirm otherwise though. The vinegar only initiates a process that in turn produces a negative response toward the secretion of cholesterol. As such, the vinegar indirectly discourages the production of cholesterol but does not affect the amounts already in circulation in the body of the individual.

Vinegar-Is-One-Of-The-Most-Powerful-Health-Tonics

Using two groups of volunteers in a study have indicated no effect of vinegar on the levels of cholesterol in the body. The volunteers subjected to a dosage of vinegar however record no increase in their weight with significant weight losses without additional exercises or dieting though. This helps shade empirical light to the above discussion.

from a vinaigrette on a salad. The Arizona State researchers are considering creating a vinegar supplement, but caution that the vinegar supplements currently on the market do not contain acetic acid, which makes the treatment work to help with weight loss and lower blood sugar levels.

The way to describe how acidic foods affect or alter the glycemic index… is to say it is unexpected. The way vinegar lowers blood sugars is by slowing the absorption of digested sugars from the large intestine. The acid in vinegar is neutralized by bicarbonate in the intestines, and without the bicarbonate, glucose does not pass into the bloodstream quickly. Eating a vinegary pickle, or even taking a little shot glass of vinegar before a meal will reduce post-prandial blood sugar increases.

All that said, this is the summary of how acidic foods work: what happens is acidic foods significantly lower the glycemic index of a carbohydrate food, or a meal, by one-third. The reason lies in how your stomach and digestive system work (see above). Acidic foods slow down the emptying of your stomach. The food slows down your digestion, which slows down how quickly your blood sugar levels rise.

Vampire Facelift for Facial Transformation

Vampire Facelift for Facial Transformation – Maintaining young and youthful look

Vampire Facelift

Vampire Facelift is currently the best for facial transformation. It is almost painless and does not have known side effects.

It is interesting how everyone would like to keep and maintain that young, tender and youthful look for as long as they live. The desire for a much younger look is so strong that even the natural aging process is being fought by all means. In the spirit of doing this many challenges are being experienced and more so by the ladies. This article brings the good news to the ladies of the discovery of vampire facelift the perfect solution to this problem. Now ladies talking to doctor Dalal Akoury the most experienced expert in this sensitive beauty condition reveals very important guidelines which when followed will give you that much youthful looks. One of the most and desired facial treatments Doctor Akoury is offering is the application of vampire facelift. As we get to the discussion, I will recommend that for any problem relating to the beauty of your skin and face, you can schedule for an appointment with doctor Dalal Akoury today.

The focus of discussion in this article will be Vampire Facelift and how effective it is. Vampire facelift was primarily established for people desiring to keep that healthy, youthful, and well moisturized young look skin naturally without the inconveniences of going through surgery. It is a systematic process that uses your own body’s healing and regenerative properties. This process does not take time with almost immediate result being realized on the same day and with continual skin regeneration benefit lasting for months after the procedure, and results can last for over a year.

It is important to note that Vampire Facelift® is not just a facelift procedure but rather a skin treatment procedure using the body’s own natural healing and growth factors that are derived from your own. Vampire Facelift is therefore a stylish procedure developed to facilitate and enhance volume in the face using a combination of hyaluronic acid like Restylane and platelet rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) which is a denser form of platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

Recovering Factors from a Patient’s Own Blood

The major component for Vampire Facelift is platelet-rich fibrin matrix which is derived from the patient’s own blood before being mixed with other factors. Platelet-rich fibrin matrix starts with a blood draw in the very way blood is drawn during any blood test after which the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is detached by spinning the patient’s blood through a centrifuge to give a clear yellow serum after it is detached from the darker components made typically of red blood cells.

Platelet-rich plasma is used throughout the medical world for its wound and injury healing properties. It also stimulates the production of collagen and for tissue regeneration. These properties enable platelet-rich fibrin matrix as an ideal natural serum for revitalizing facial skin quality and volume with increased collagen production, blood supply, and new skin and fatty tissue generation, creating the youthful appearance that comes with generating new, healthier skin. The purpose of Vampire facelift is to correct what aging is introducing in your skin quality. How then does aging affect the quality of your skin? It does so in two major ways.

  • There is loss of volume from bone, muscle, fat, and skin. This can make the under eye area and cheeks look flat and hollow. The skin can look dull or gray instead of being rosy as it was when younger.
  • The loss of support of the skin results in drooping upper eyelids, lower eyelids, cheeks, jowls and sagging neck skin like the neck of turkey.

Adding Youthful Volume by using Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

The first step of The Vampire Facelift® is the application of injectable hyaluronic acid dermal filler like Restylane or Juvederm.

One of the two main components of the facial aging process is the loss of volume due to a reduction of facial bone, muscle and fat, also known as “the apples of the cheeks”.

Dermal fillers add youthful volume to the face, while keeping a natural appearance.

Hyaluronic acid fillers do not paralyze facial muscles like Botox, so volume is added without inhibiting facial movement or expressions.

Normally there is specific art application of fillers for a more vibrant natural and youthful appearance and you can be rest assured that Dr. Akoury will apply his natural artistic abilities with her professional skills and over two decades of experience to perform your procedure, all you need to do is to get in touch with her (Doctor Dalal Akoury) and you will not regret the look on your face anymore.

Revitalizing your Facial Skin from Within

For comfort and almost pain less process, the platelet-rich fibrin matrix is placed just after a numbing cream has been applied. Platelet-rich fibrin matrix contains at least eight of the body’s own concentrated growth factors to revitalize the face in various ways like:

  • Specific growth factors increase the formation of new blood vessels also known as neovascularization and increased blood flow to the skin, resulting in healthier, better and quality skin.
  • Other growth factors increase new cell formation for skin renewal.
  • Another growth factor spurs the formation of new collagen, the major element of facial skin that diminishes in facial aging.
  • Other growth factors activate the multi-potent stem cells already in the skin by tricking it into thinking there is an injury, resulting in the use of a combination of growth factors and stem cells to generate new fatty tissue. The new fatty tissue repairs skin that was never injured, resulting in the generation of new, younger-looking skin.
A quick procedure that keeps working for several months

Finally like I had indicated in the introduction while talking to doctor Dalal Akoury who is also the founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center, for professional input in calling doctor Akoury will be the starting point of ensuring that you get that youthful appearance you have been looking for. Doctor Akoury together with her team of experts appreciate that you need to get quick result and they will just do that, remember that the entire Vampire Facelift procedure only takes about an hour to complete. Within the hour all the steps including the: blood draw, preparation of the PRP, platelet-rich fibrin matrix, and The Vampire Facelift® treatment itself will be complete and your face will surprise you when you look into the morrow. Take that positive step of calling doctor Akoury today and experience the real professional touch and take not that since skin renewal and rejuvenation is using the body’s own active regeneration components, facial skin renewal is continual for about 3 months after the procedure while the overall effects of the Vampire Facelift® can last for over a year. Thank you for desiring to make a difference in your face with the best at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center.

Long-term Effects of Toxicity

Toxicity and Its Long Term Effects

ToxicityToxicity- this refers to a degree to which a substance can be poisonous to anybody who uses it. Most of the drugs of recreation are toxic or are high in toxicity and using them for a long time results in damaged neurotransmitters among other problems. The degrees of toxicity can be categorized as acute, Sub-chronic and chronic. Acute toxicity involves harmful effects in an organism through a single or short-term exposure. Sub-chronic toxicity is the ability of a toxic substance to cause effects for more than one year but less than the lifetime of the exposed organism. Chronic toxicity is the ability of a substance or mixture of substances to cause harmful effects over an extended period, usually upon repeated or continuous exposure, sometimes lasting for the entire life of the exposed organism. This explains why those addicted to drugs are severely affected. The more you expose yourself to the substance the more the toxicity you are subjecting yourself to. Toxicity is not only a worry when dealing with recreational drugs, there are also other substances of high toxicity that you need to avoid. These may include pesticides, some window cleaners and other inhalants. With that said it is crucial to mention that in most cases we get these toxic substances by our own intervention especially through the use of drugs of recreation. Even some drugs that are used in hospitals may be toxic when recommended dosages are surpassed. For example benzodiazepines are very effective drugs when used within the specified dosages but are high in toxicity when used beyond the recommended dosages.

Long-term medical consequences of toxicity

Since exposure to different substances will result in different symptoms of toxicity in the long-term, I suggest we focus on one type of drug and for this purpose we will work with benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines are also good in this case as they drugs that are used clinically hence the result of their misuse can be of help to many.

Depression and anxiety

Using benzodiazepine for a long time results in depression. It has been found that alcoholics who use benzodiazepines for a long time become depressed. It is possible that benzodiazepines cause or aggravate depression, perhaps by reducing central monoamine activity. However, anxiety and depression often coexist, and benzodiazepines are often prescribed for mixed anxiety/depression. Sometimes, the drugs seem to precipitate suicidal tendencies in such patients. It also causes Emotional anesthesia which is the inability to feel pleasure or pain. It is therefore recommended that benzodiazepines should not be used alone in treating depression.

Dependence

Due to high toxicity of some drugs they will affect the brain causing dependence on these drugs. The long term effect use of benzodiazepines for example can lead to both psychological and pharmacological dependence. After getting dependent on drugs other problems like tolerance and other withdrawal symptoms sets in whenever the person tries to stop using the drug.

Structural Brain Damage

There is insufficient to support the fact that long term use of benzodiazepines can cause structural brain damage. However some drugs have high toxicity and continued exposure to such drugs can cause structural brain damage.

Hemorrhoids – this is not limited to benzodiazepines alone. Long term use of other drugs with high toxicity can cause hemorrhoids where the varicose veins of the anus become painful, swell and itch. This is often caused by constipation and lack of dietary fiber.

Tolerance- long term use of certain drugs results in tolerance where a person will have to use more of a drug to feel the effect. This is a common problem that most people on long term use benzodiazepines go through.

Autopsy findings for inhalants

Inhalants are chemical vapors or gases that affect how the mind works when abused or misused by concentrating and intentionally inhaling these fumes. The inhalants may include volatile organic solvents, fuel gases, nitrites, and anesthetic gases. These inhalants may cause death when a person is exposed to them for a long time. Some of the common inhalants include;

ToxicityAmyl nitrites (poppers) – poopers are normally sold under such names as ram, rush, thunderbolt among other names. They are mostly used by gay men to prolong orgasm and enhance the sensation. Over a time the person will be dependent on these poppers so much that he can’t have sex without them. These poppers have been found to be responsible for many deaths especially through increased risk of HIV. However giving up on poppers isn’t easy since some people depend on it entirely for their sexual purpose. There is insufficient information on the number of deaths that have been caused by use of poppers however in one study it was found that 96% of gays who were HIV positive were using poppers.

Benzenes (gasoline) – CDC defines benzene as a chemical that is a colorless or light yellow liquid at room temperature. It has a sweet odor and is highly flammable. It is one of the inhalants that are greatly abused. When inhaled it alters the way the body cells work for example it can cause bone marrow not to produce enough red blood cells, which can lead to anemia. Also, it can damage the immune system by changing blood levels of antibodies and causing the loss of white blood cells. At extreme intoxication it causes death.

Finally, We at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center are committed to availing help to addicts by availing some of the most integrative approaches to healing an addict. We advocate for natural healing to all kinds of addiction. Call on Dr. Dalal Akoury (MD) at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for help.

Intoxication, Reward and Tolerance

Neurobiology of Intoxication, Reward and Tolerance

RewardAs stated earlier, neurobiology is the study of cells of the nervous system and how these cells are organized of these cells into functional circuits that process information and influence behavior. Neurobiology is a sub unit of both biology and neuroscience. Neuroscience is much broader as a scientific study of the nervous system than neurobiology. Neurobiology helps us to understand how the neurons are affected by whatever we ingest. The neurons as you and me now know are very crucial as they are the chemical messengers that transmit signals to initiate certain crucial responses. However these neurons are often affected by drugs of abuse that in most cases depletes them rendering them incapable to function normally. As studied earlier in our brain there are different neurotransmitters that perform different purposes to ensure that all functions of the brain are well attended to. There are inhibitory neurotransmitters as well as excitatory neurotransmitters and the balance between these neurotransmitters must be achieved for better functioning of the brain but these drugs of abuse interferes with these balance by causing depletion of certain neurotransmitters creating an imbalance between the different categories of the neurotransmitters in the brain. In this article we try to find out how intoxication, reward and tolerance come about to users of alcohol and other drugs.

Intoxication

According to World Health Organization (WHO) intoxication is a condition that follows the administration of a psychoactive substance and results in disturbances in the level of consciousness, cognition, perception, judgment, affect, or behavior, or other psychophysiological functions and responses. The disturbances are related to the acute pharmacological effects of, and learned responses to, the substance and resolve with time, with complete recovery, except where tissue damage or other complications have arisen. They further explain that the term intoxication is a term that is commonly used in alcoholism and is the same in meaning to the common term drunkenness. Alcohol intoxication manifests in such symptoms as slurred speech, unsteady gait, disorderly conduct, impaired judgment, slowed reactions, loss of memory, vomiting, euphoria and insensibility among others. Alcohol has contents of ethanol among other fermented stuff. When taken ethanol will produce its depressive effects on certain areas of the brain resulting in physical and mental impairments. These problems will continue as the level of alcohol consumption is increased, therefore more alcohol means more intoxication.

Here is what happens in the brain

When alcohol is taken it increases the effect of the body’s naturally occurring neurotransmitter gamma amino butyric acid (GABA). As I mentioned earlier neurotransmitters are substances that chemically connect the signals from one nerve to the next allowing a signal to flow along a neural pathway. An inhibitory neurotransmitter (alcohol) reduces this signal flow in the brain. This explains how alcohol depresses both a person’s mental and physical activities. When you take alcohol 20% of ethanol will be absorbed into the bloodstream from the stomach while 80% is absorbed from the small intestines. However the more the ethanol stays in the stomach the slower it is absorbed into the bloodstream and the lower the peak in blood alcohol concentration. This is why when a person takes alcohol with empty stomach he will be intoxicated within such a short time. The food in the stomach normally slows the rate of alcohol absorption lowering the peak in blood alcohol concentration.

The reward system

The reward system is mainly dominated by the excitatory neurotransmitter known as dopamine. This hormone gives the brain its ‘high’, the euphoric feelings that is commonly sought by people who use drugs of recreation. Close to all addictive drugs directly or indirectly target the brain’s reward system by flooding the circuit with dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter present in regions of the brain that regulate movement, emotion, cognition, motivation, and feelings of pleasure. The overstimulation of this system, which rewards our natural behaviors, produces the euphoric effects sought by people who use drugs and teaches them to repeat the behavior. The persistent release of dopamine during chronic drug use progressively recruits limbic brain regions and the prefrontal cortex, embedding drug cues into the amygdala through glutaminergic mechanisms and involving the amygdala, anterior cingulate, orbitofrontal cortex, and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in the obsessive craving for drugs Despite dopamine being the dominant neurotransmitter in the reward system there are also other neurotransmitters that work to modulate both the reward system and the psychomotor effects of addictive drugs. However there is still little literature to support this and so dopaminergic system is still the biggest consideration when reward system is to be tamed. Naturally the balance between the excitatory neurotransmitter and the inhibitory neurotransmitters enables proper functioning of the brain but with drugs the drugs will suppress the inhibitory neurotransmitters flooding the brain with dopamine which is the fuel behind reward.

RewardUnderstanding tolerance

Tolerance refers to a situation when a person ceases to react to a drug in initial doses and therefore higher dosage is needed for the effects to be achieved. This normally happens when a person has been using the drugs for a long time. This is common in the use of opioids in pain management, the patient will cease to respond to initial dosages and therefore need higher dosages to calm the pain. For example, morphine is often used for pain. It works by binding to opiate receptors where it triggers the inhibition of an enzyme called adenylate cyclase that orchestrates several chemicals in the cell to maintain the firing of impulses. After repeated activation of the opiate receptor by morphine, the enzyme adapts so that the morphine can no longer cause changes in cell firing. Therefore higher dosages will have to be administered for the pain to be calmed.
