Did you know that mitochondrial health is an essential key to longevity and overall well-being? Mitochondria are often overlooked in the body’s complex cellular structure. They may not get as much attention as the brain or heart, but they are integral to overall health just like any other organ, and your health can be affected by the inner workings of these tiny organelles. For example, when your cells don’t use energy properly from food because they cannot metabolize glucose (a type of sugar), your mitochondria cellular structures stop functioning efficiently, resulting in insulin ...

In our pursuit of optimal health and wellness, we often find ourselves standing at the crossroads of science and nutrition.

For those already affected, this guide serves as a beacon of understanding and empowerment, offering a roadmap to ...

Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is one of the most common viruses worldwide, with an estimated 90% of the global population infected at some point in their lives. Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), part of the herpesvirus family, is commonly transmitted via saliva and close interpersonal interactions. It is best known for causing infectious mononucleosis, or “mono,” often referred to as the “kissing disease.” For most individuals, an EBV infection resolves without major complications. However, its long-term implications are far from fully understood. Recent research has pointed to potential ...

Have you ever skipped a meal and experienced getting dizzy or groggy a couple of hours later? This is one of the possible scenarios you may experience when your body does not receive enough blood sugar to generate energy. Think of glucose as the brain’s favorite food. Regardless of whether you are awake or asleep, the brain uses sugar from the food you eat to function normally and to give correct instructions to the rest of the body. When the body runs short of glucose, it tries to help itself by breaking down stored sugar, fats, and protein. However, sometimes, when the blood sugar drops...

Around 45,500 people in the United States are diagnosed with Ménière’s disease each year. 12 out of 1000 people are affected by the condition. If you think you are one of them, keep reading to find out how to treat Ménière’s with your nutrition. While it is a chronic disease, it is possible to treat it through a proper diet. However, it is crucial to get diagnosed by a doctor. A diagnosis can depend on several variables, such as two or more episodes of vertigo and a hearing test to determine the extent of loss of hearing. Based on scientific studies, 6 out of 10 people can control ...

According to research, about 3% of the population in the United States have BFRBs or Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors. That is over 10 million Americans suffering from a group of disorders that are usually related to self-grooming habits. These habits or behaviors may seem harmless at first, but because of how frequently they are done, they start to cause harm to the individuals who suffer from them. These behaviors are overly done habits that are categorized as multifaceted disorders that cause individuals to recurrently touch or pick on their specific body parts that often result in ...

Fatty Liver Disease, also known as hepatic steatosis, is a common condition characterized by the accumulation of fat within liver cells. This excess fat can disrupt the normal functioning of the liver, potentially leading to health complications. In its early stages, Fatty Liver Disease often doesn't present noticeable symptoms. However, as it progresses, it may lead to symptoms such as fatigue, upper abdominal discomfort, and, in more severe cases, jaundice. If left untreated, this condition can advance to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and ultimately, liver failure. This beginner's guide ...

Porphyria disease is an extremely rare genetic disorder among porphyrias, which results from a deficiency or defect of certain enzymes in the body. Less than 100 cases have been documented worldwide, and porphyria disease only affects 1 to 5 people per million. Symptoms can include severe abdominal pain, vomiting, muscle cramps, seizures, frequent itching, extreme sensitivity to sunlight, changes to skin pigmentation, and mental disturbances such as paranoia or sharp mood swings. In some forms of porphyria disease, the symptoms are triggered by exposure to chemicals including alcohol and ...

Buildings in time can get water-damaged, most especially in parts of the world where rain is common and the humidity is notably high. As a result of such damage, microorganisms can live in these affected areas and eventually cause health problems if not managed promptly. These microorganisms may include but are not limited to, bacteria and fungi, with the latter being able to produce mycotoxins in the systems of those who got exposed to them. Fungi, like molds, can produce such toxins and lead to a wide array of chronic symptoms, ranging from a simple headache down to severe autoimmune ...

Calcium is an important element in the body that is being used in several functions. Although 99% is found in our bones and teeth, the remaining 1% is used in the muscles, nerves, vessels, and hormone regulation. Just like any element in our body, our physiology and biochemistry have an innate way of regulating its levels in our blood to make sure that there is balance for normal functions to proceed. This natural feedback mechanism is mostly governed by three hormones: parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and calcitriol. (Their involvement will be discussed further later on.) However, there ...
