Probiotics and what you need to know to support your immune system

http://www.modernhcp.com/defining-potency-and-efficacy-in-probiotics/

Probiotics support the immune system by appropriately responding to invaders.



Probiotics support production of Butyric Acid, a short-chain fatty acid that is used to rebuild the colon.



Probiotics stimulates enzyme production to aid digestion and absorption of nutrients.



Probiotics support healthy gut bacterial balance.



Probiotics assist in synthesis of folic acid, niacin, pantothentic acid, biotin and Vit. A and K.



It's a pretty simple slide show so give it a look.

Gluten free spaghetti - Go rice!

Wanna be gluten free? A pasta made from brown rice flour is a perfect alternative to wheat. Thanks to a relatively high combined total of fiber and protein and a low, slow drying process, rice spaghetti is  delicate, thin stranded, springy and clean-tasting. 

Fatty acids Bad fats and risk of cancer.

Fatty acids

The correlation between fat consumption and the risk of cancer seems to depend on the specific types of fat and their constituent fatty acids. Fatty acids can be separated into 3 classes on the basis of their carbon-carbon bonds, as follows:

·                            Saturated fatty acids, such as stearic acid, contain no carbon-carbon double bonds.

·                            Monounsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid, have a single carbon-carbon bond.

·                            Polyunsaturated fatty acids, including linoleic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, have 2 or     more carbon-          carbon bonds.

Trans fat is an industrially created unsaturated fat that is neither necessary nor beneficial. Trans fat may be monounsaturated or polyunsaturated.  Trans fats are bad fats.

Fatty acids are generally found in foods and in fat deposits as triglycerides or neutral fat, in which 3 fatty acids are esterified to a single molecule of glycerol. In cell membranes, fatty acids exist as phospholipids, in which one of the fatty esters is replaced by a head group such as choline, serine, or inositol. Phospholipids are integral components of cellular membranes; they are responsible for maintaining cellular integrity and for regulating membrane enzymes, cell-signaling processes, and the construction of cellular receptors.

Omega 3 Fatty Acids (O-3 FA) are found in:

nuts,

avocado 

berries

fish

Incorporate one of these food sources in your daily food intake to get your O-3 FAs.

Light effects our sleep and our skin

Using Light For Better Skin?

There is a body of evidence that light in the red spectrum triggers collagen synthesis. More collagen in the skin means less wrinkles and healthier skin. Since red light also has no blue spectrum, I use red light at night when it’s convenient. It’s surprisingly simple to install a $25 remote controlled stick-on color LED lighting strip over your bed. Better still, red light triggers the cellular power plants called mitochondria to work better through something called the mitochondrial transport chain. When your cellular energy is higher, you sleep better and you have more energy during the day.

Those twirly shaped bulbs emit blue light and blue light disrupts sleep. Wanna sleep better? Then Turn off the blue twirly lights for an hour before bedtime.
