Coffee is one of the world most popular drinks, one can find dozens of coffee shops in virtually every town or city. The reason for this is due to coffees’ many known health benefits and its stimulating effects. Coffee and its many chemical compounds have been found to decrease the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s
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. Our mental health is essential in maintaining the body’s physiological functions; electrochemical imbalances may result, along with reduced gut capabilities. Intestinal bacteria are regulated by
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.
Tackling High Cholesterol Issues Should I take statins for high cholesterol? Statins are drugs that block cholesterol synthesis and induce the absorption of accumulated cholesterol in the body.
Genetic Testing: What You Need to Know Genetic testing is the examining of DNA to identify alterations in genes and chromosomes that might be responsible for illnesses and disorders. Through genetic testing, we are able to confirm or exclude a gene in a genetic condition or illness. Further, it also aids in determining the chances
Methylation, the process of activating a molecule through the addition of a methyl group, is required to ensure the proper functioning of metabolic pathways and efficient enzyme activity. Methylation is important in numerous biochemical reactions in the body that control vital processes, such as the regulation of gene expression. Methylation is, essentially, the on/off switches
The MTHFR gene is responsible for the production of its enzyme MTHFR, which stands for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. The MTHFR enzyme converts folate, in the presence of cofactors, into the active form, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, for it to be metabolized and used in various biochemical reactions within the human body. This is done through a process called methylation,
