Železo - tajomstvo vášho zdravia a energie
Predstavte si, že vaše telo je továreň pracujúca na najvyššie obrátky, (aby zabezpečila energiu, rast, opravu buniek) a železo je palivo, ktoré udržiava jej chod. Ak sa vyčerpávajú zásoby železa ihneď, slabosť, búšenie srdca či bledšiu kožu. Príznaky nedostatku železa sú lámavé nechty, suché vlasy, dýchavičnosť, problémy so spánkom, znížená koncentrácia, studené končatiny, zvýšená frekvencia infekcie a anémia (nedostatok červených krviniek spôsobený príliš malým množstvom železa v tele) ktorá sa prejavuje extrémnou únavou. Pri anémií telo nie je dostatočne zásobovaný kyslík a rýchlo sa vyčerpáva. Signál nedostatku železa môže byť aj tvorba modrín, pretože tento minerál je dôležitý pri tvorbe hemoínu, ktorý podporuje správnu funkciu krvných doštičiek.
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.
Vitamín B3 Niacínamid
Vitamín B3 - niacín, možno aj starší poznajú aj pod názvom P. Patrí do skupiny vitamínov B, ktoré nájdeme v multiformnom B-komplexe. Je to veľmi dôležitá skupina, ktorú potrebujete pre správnu funkciu zraku, slizníc, kože, srdca... V prípade potreby potrebujete pre správne fungovanie srdcovej, svalovej a nervovej činnosti.
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.
Vitamín B1 Tiamín
Vitamín B1 patrí do skupín B1 až B12, ktoré označujeme pod spoločným názvom B-komplex. Pod týmto menom je potrebné doplniť všetky vitamíny tejto skupiny. Čo však potrebujem len jeden z nich? Potrebujete aj celú skupinu - tie najdôležitejšie vitamíny zo skupiny B je možné dostať samostatne.
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.
