Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) assist in energy metabolism in body cells


Coenzyme Q10 (Co10) #coq10 #Nutrilite
Human body can make its own Coenzyme Q10. CoQ10 is needed to maintain the basic functions of cells. However its production reduces with age. A person who is on diet loses 50% of Co Q10 (Co10) in a week, and a patient with severe disease or heart disease will also has its CoQ10 significantly decrease, and some drugs can also lower Co10 levels. A 75% reduction of CoQ10 level in a body can cause serious health problems.
Mitochondria
The mitochondria are the cell's 'power station' or 'power house' (that burns fat), and CoQ10 assists in the energy metabolism in mitochondrial cells, ie, intracellular production of energy and energy metabolism. Mitochondria produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which supplies energy to cells, muscles and respiratory activity needed. ATP also helps to protect the heart, bones and muscles from toxic fatty acid metabolites. ATP is the basic source of energy for the body.
CoQ10 combines oxygen to break down food, called aerobic metabolism, which converts food into ATP. Without CoQ10 there is no energy, and without energy there is no life.
Heart care
CoQ10 in the heart is 10 times more than its presence in other organs. Its functions include strengthening and protecting the heart. The heart needs constant energy support to proper blood circulation, healthy breathing, clarity of thoughts and more energetic physically.
CoQ10 features
1. Reduce chest pain caused by arterial obstruction
2. Improve the exercise capacity
3. Prevent or reduce Asthmatic occurrences . Improvement of heart health and blood circulation inevitably bring benefits to asthma patients.
4. Its antioxidant effect can benefit the human body and brain activities.
6. It is a fat-soluble nutrient that produces energy through cellular chemical reactions.
Lack of CoQ10 :
. Will reduce the body's ability to generate energy
. The organs of the body cannot perform functions at optimum level.
. Easily fatigue and listless.
Daily CoQ10 requirements:
30~90 grams contributes to consistent supplies of energy production
Food sources:
CoQ10 exist in animal internal organs such as heart, liver and kidney, sardines, tuna, and peanuts.
To get 90 mg of CoQ10, we have to take the following food quantity daily :
1350 grams of sardines, 2,700 grams of beef, 3,390 grams of peanuts, 90 tablespoons of canola oil, or 90 cups of broccoli.
Can you eat so much food every day?
How much is it?
Nutrilite CoQ10 can help you to meet your daily needs.
NUTRILITE CoQ10 provides 30 mg of the essential co-enzyme, Q-10, in each softgel. To get the equivalent amount of this beneficial enzyme in your diet, you would have to eat 2 pounds of beef, every day. Each softgel also provides Citrus Bioflavonoid Concentrate for additional benefits. Benefits NUTRILITE Co Q10 includes: Fuel for each cell of your body, enabling them to produce the energy that they need to do their work Vitamin E and carnosic acid, antioxidants that neutralize free radicals and also help protect CoQ10 from degradation NUTRILITE Citrus Bioflavonoid Concentrate, which provides phytonutrient benefits
Our bodies use an enzyme – CoQ10 – to make energy for our heart cells to do their work. As we age, enzyme levels drop. Supplements can help.

泌尿道感染 Urinary InfectionC

由于男女生理构造不同的关系,女性罹患泌尿道感染(bladder infection or urinary tract infection - UTI)的机率是男性的8倍,而且不少女性会一直反覆感染,引起非常难以启齿的困扰。
大约 80~90% 的泌尿道感染是来自于直肠的“大肠杆菌”所造成的,可能因为不良的排尿习惯或性行为,导致细菌逆行往上到膀胱、输尿管、肾脏,进而产生泌尿道感染。

泌尿道感染出现症状会有频尿、尿急、排尿痛、灼热感、尿混浊与血尿等。如有以上症状应该马上就医,等治疗结束后,可依照以下建议方法,预防泌尿道感染:
1)每天喝至少2,000 c.c. 的水
建议每天喝6~8 杯的水,大约是2,000 c.c.,少量多次饮用,每次喝 200~300 c.c.,让排尿持续在每2小时上一次厕所,就能避免尿液过于浓缩、尿道发炎。特别提醒,要喝的是白开水,其他饮料是无法取代水份的。
2)增加肠道良菌(好菌)以对抗坏菌
由于“大肠杆菌”主要来自于肠道,因此增加肠道良菌,有助于抑制大肠杆菌生长,便可降低泌尿道感染的机会。建议平时可以摄取优格、优酪乳、韩式泡菜等含有益生菌(probiotics)的食物,并摄取足够的 蔬菜和水果提供膳食纤维(fibres)给益生菌当食物,都能够增殖肠道良菌。
3)蔓越莓(cranberry)预防感染
蔓越莓含有特殊的“A型前花青素”,可以降低尿液的 PH 值、预防大肠杆菌附着,有助于改善泌尿道感染。但要注意的是,市售有些蔓越莓汁,有些果汁蔓越莓含有率只是10%,剩下90% 是糖跟水,有效成分很低,且含大量精致糖可能会让发炎更严重,因此建议要喝的是无添加糖的蔓越莓原汁,每天 40~80 c.c.,或是不加糖和油的蔓越莓干。
值得注意的是,蔓越莓并不是等到发炎了才吃, 必须是长期吃的,等到发炎的时候细菌已经很多,单靠吃蔓越莓的效果非常有限, 还是需要配合抗生素治疗,治疗完后再透过蔓越莓来做平时的预防保健。
4)硫化物(sulfide)帮助杀菌
大蒜、洋葱、白萝卜等食物含有硫化物,有助于杀菌、提升免疫力,可以降低感染的机会。
5)维生素C提升免疫功能
维生素C可促进体内胶原形成,维持泌尿道结缔组织健康,且维生素C还能够提升巨噬细胞的吞噬活性,有助于对抗细菌。芭乐、奇异果、柑橘类、青椒等食物含有丰富的维生素C。
泌尿道感染的四个禁忌饮食:
一、避免辛辣和刺激性食物
这些刺激性食物会使发炎更加严重。
二、避免甜食、高脂肪及油腻食物
摄取糖和过多油脂会干扰免疫系统的功能,容易让坏菌滋生。
三、避免温补、燥热的食物
例如老姜、麻油、十全大补汤等,也会让发炎更严重。
四、避免含咖啡因与酒精的饮 料
咖啡、茶、酒类等饮品具有利尿的作用,发炎时吃利尿食物会让不舒服症状更严重。
尽量穿着通风的裤或裙,上完厕所应该要由前往后擦,内裤经常更新替换,并且不要憋尿。注意以上日常生活的卫生细节,配合营养均衡和规律的作息让免疫系统功能健全,能够大幅降低感染的机会。

Urinary and ladder Infection 泌尿道感染E

#UrinaryInfection #BladderInfection #infection
Due to the different physiological structures of men and women, the probability of women suffering from bladder infection or urinary tract infection (UTI) is eight tim
es that of men, and many women will continue to re-infect, causing very difficult problems.
About 80-90% of urinary tract infections are caused by the “E. coli” in the rectum. It may be caused by bad urination habits or sexual behavior, causing the bacteria to go retrograde to the bladder, ureters, and kidneys, and then produce urinary tract infections.
Symptoms of urinary tract infections may have frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, burning sensation, turbid urine and hematuria. If you have any of the above symptoms, you should seek medical attention immediately. After the treatment is over, you can prevent urinary tract infections according to the following recommended methods:
1) Drink at least 2,000 c.c. of water a day
It is recommended to drink 6~8 cups of water a day, about 2,000 c.c., drink a small amount twice, drink 200~300 c.c. every time, let the urination continue every 2 hours to the toilet, you can avoid the urine is too concentrated, the urethra is inflamed. Special reminder is to drink boiled water, other beverages can not replace the water.
2) Increase intestinal bacteria (good bacteria) to fight bad bacteria
Since "E. coli" is mainly derived from the intestine, increasing the intestinal bacteria can help inhibit the growth of E. coli and reduce the chance of urinary tract infection. It is recommended that you can take foods containing probiotics such as yogurt, yogurt, Korean kimchi, and enough vegetables and fruits to provide dietary fiber (fibres) to probiotics as food, which can proliferate intestinal bacteria. .
3) Cranberry prevents infection
Cranberry contains a special "A-type proanthocyanidin", which can lower the pH of urine, prevent the adhesion of E. coli, and help to improve urinary tract infections. However, it should be noted that some cranberry juices are commercially available. Some juice cranberries contain only 10%, and the remaining 90% are sugar and water. The active ingredients are very low, and a large amount of refined sugar may make the inflammation more serious. Therefore, it is recommended to drink cranberry juice without added sugar, 40~80 cc per day, or cranberry without sugar and oil.
It is worth noting that cranberry is not eaten until it is inflamed. It must be eaten for a long time. When it is inflamed, there are many bacteria. The effect of eating cranberry alone is very limited. It still needs antibiotic treatment. After treatment, Then use cranberry to do regular preventive care.
4) Sulfide helps disinfect
Garlic, onions, white radish and other foods contain sulfides that help to sterilize and boost immunity, reducing the chance of infection.
5) Vitamin C enhances immune function
Vitamin C promotes collagen formation in the body and maintains the health of the urinary tract connective tissue. Vitamin C also enhances the phagocytic activity of macrophages and helps fight bacteria. Foods such as guava, kiwi, citrus, and green pepper are rich in vitamin C.
Four taboo diets for urinary tract infections:
First, avoid spicy and irritating food
These irritating foods can make inflammation worse.
Second, avoid sweets, high fat and greasy food
Ingestion of sugar and excessive oil can interfere with the function of the immune system and easily cause bad bacteria to breed.
Third, avoid warm, hot food
For example, ginger, sesame oil, Shiquan Dabu soup, etc., will also make inflammation more serious.
Fourth, avoid drinking caffeine and alcohol
Drinks such as coffee, tea, and alcohol have a diuretic effect. Eating diuretic food when inflamed can make the symptoms of discomfort more serious.
Try to wear ventilated pants or skirts. After going to the toilet, you should wipe it from the back. The underwear is often updated and replaced, and you should not urinate. Pay attention to the above-mentioned health details of daily life, with balanced nutrition and regular work, so that the immune system is sound and can greatly reduce the chance of infection.

肌肉功能及如何预防或矫正肌肉无力症状


肌肉功能及如何预防或矫正肌肉无力症状
肌肉软弱无力会影响血液的循环,妨碍淋巴的正常流通,使食物无法充分消化而发生便秘,甚至有时无法控制排尿。肌肉发生软弱无力会使内脏松弛或下垂,会直接及间接的影响器官的功能。
营养不良的小孩常会行动笨拙、颤抖、肌肉协调不良,这些可怕的现象和肌肉退化与硬化症的症状极相似。
肌肉无力
肌肉包含大部分的蛋白质,同时也含有一些必需脂肪酸,这些营养素都是维持肌肉有力所必需的。
肌肉的化合物质与控制它的神经非常复杂。当肌肉每一次收缩、舒张和修补时,涉及许多种酶、辅酶、活化剂和其他合成物质的交互影响。例如,肌肉放松时需要充足的钙、镁和维生素B6,与维生素D,因而当肌肉发生抽搐与痉挛时,䃼充这些营养素便可解除症状。
钾是身体各种肌肉产生收缩功能所必需的。有些人对钾的需求特别高,如果得不到䃼充容易患周期性的麻痹症。
缺维生素E常会发生肌肉无力,却鲜为人知。缺少维生素E时,形成细胞的必需脂肪酸会遭氧化破坏,以致红血球破裂,无法有效吸收脂肪,使肌肉受损而产生疤痕。而肌肉细胞核和肌肉收缩所需的酶,如果缺少维生素E便无法形成。缺乏它则肌肉组织对氧的需求会增加,同时,也会妨碍许多氨基酸的分解,导致磷随尿流失,维生素B族遭破坏,则肌肉功能与精力的恢复会受到影响。
建议你在日常饮食中充足和平衡的摄取以上营养素,同时鼓励你同时补充Nutrilite Protein, Nutrilite DoubleX, 和鱼油Omega3.
