How do your genes affect anaesthetics? The effect of genes on anesthetics is a complex topic that is still being researched. However, some genetic variations have been found to influence an individual’s response to anesthetics. One important group of genes that can affect anesthetic response is the cytochrome P450 (CYP) family of enzymes. These enzymes
Gluten is ubiquitous in many processed foods of today, this should come as a concern, as it negatively affects some of us without ever knowing it is the cause. Individuals with gluten sensitivity and MTHFR can be dealt a double blow where the conditions of both symptoms may amplify each other. We will look at
You say folate, I say folic acid… let’s call the whole thing off? Paraphrasing the famous lyrics may help us remember that similar sounding words may not always translate to the same molecules! Folate has become an umbrella term used interchangeably to describe different forms of the basic vitamin B9: it can be easy to
It is well known that exercise is good for us, it’s plain to see when we are provided with all the evidence of the benefits one can gain from regular exercise.

The immune system protects the body from external threats such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, and chemicals. The key to the functioning of the immune system is its ability to differentiate between self (healthy tissue) and non-self. The immune system consists of several subsystems all working together as a unit to protect the body. It can
Anaemia is considered to be one of the most common blood conditions in the world. This condition relates to the abnormal or lack of functioning of red blood cells and its protein, haemoglobin. If there are any deficiencies in the production or functioning of red blood cells and haemoglobin, we can expect to see a
Is Stress Making You Sick In The Gut Throughout our lives, we experience varied levels of stress that may cause harm to our health, especially in terms of gut function.

The Importance of Choline and Phospholipids in Your Diet Phospholipids, a vital component of all cells, are not only required for structural purpose in the lipid bilayer, but also prevents numerous diseases and general disorders at the cellular level. Our cells will be unable to function in the absence of phospholipids, or lack thereof. Phospholipids
How to find out if you have the MTHFR gene mutation? MTHFR is an essential enzyme involved in the metabolism of dietary folate and links the folate metabolism with the ‘homocysteine-methionine’ pathway. These pathways are important for optimal cellular functioning – synthesis of amino acids, proteins, lipids, DNA/RNA, gene switching, neurotransmitters, hormones, and immune function.
