Longevity and Optimum health

 Heart Disease does not lie in Cholesterol alone, as lowering cholesterol has failed to reduce the incidence of Cardiovascular Disease. There are other markers as well to help formulate a more complete picture of the health of one’s heart.Testing for Cardiovascular disease or heart disease should incorporate the following sensitive and easily obtainable indicators when testing for heart risk .They are presented in descending order of risk. The highest being first.1.    Lipoprotein (a) – indicator of endothelial wall integrity2.     Homocysteine – indicator of free radical activity3.     Fibrinogen – indicator of thrombus formation and blood viscosity 4.    Arterial Stiffness –indicator of wall flexibility and blood pressure health5.    Cellular Energy Generation – indicator of mitochondrial function6.    C Reactive Protein – indicator of inflammatory response7.    Triglyceride – leading cause of metabolic syndrome 8.    Total cholesterol / HDL cholesterol  ratio –key indicator in lipid metabolism9.    LDL cholesterol – indicator of the level of “bad” cholesterol10.  Total Cholesterol – overall indicator of total cholesterol in blood.As you can see Cholesterol is at the bottom of the list. However indicators have to be taken as a group to determine or predict the risk of getting a heart attack or stroke.1.Lipoprotein(a) is now considered to be a major risk for heart disease.Lpa,as it is known, resembles LDL but is worse than it as it possesses additional adhesive properties. In order to combat free radical damage the liver produces LDL and Lpa Some of the natural cholesterol produced by the liver in response to free radical damage is converted into LDL cholesterol and its relative Lp (a). Lp(a) fosters cholesterol deposition by enhancing oxidation of LDL-cholesterol. It is the oxidized form of cholesterol that penetrates the endothelium, leading to the build up of plaque and vascular disease. It should be noted that artery blockage (plaque) is composed mainly of Lp(a) and not of ordinary cholesterol. Oxidized cholesterol is a free radical generator. Studies have also shown that Lp(a) holds fast to damaged blood vessel, attracting other Lp(a) molecules, and finally constituting the atherosclerotic plaques. In fact, a high Lp (a) level (more than 30 mg/dl) has been revealed to carry a 10 times greater risks for heart disease than LDL cholesterol level.Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel Laureate, said that Lp(a) may be the surrogate for ascorbate in the human. Low dietary intake of ascorbate leads to weaken blood vessels because ascorbate is required for the synthesis of collagen and elastin, which strengthen the blood vessel wall. In the absence of ascorbate, Lp(a) is mobilized to repair these structural defects in arterial walls by being deposited to strengthen the tissue. However, if the plasma concentration of Lp(a) is too high, the process goes too far. Too much Lp(a) gets deposited in the arterial wall, and plaque formation is initiated.

Chronic depletion of these essential nutrients such as vitamin C, lysine, and proline in the endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells impairs their ability to function properly. Guinea pigs fed a diet low in ascorbate rapidly developed atherosclerotic plaques, similar to those found in humans. When large amounts of supplementary ascorbate were given to these guinea pigs, there was a regression in plaque formation. The most effective and natural way to normalize lp(a) is a nutritional cocktail consisting of high dose Vitamin C , L-lysine , and L-proline . Other synergistic amino acids such as glutamine, ornithine, and pine bark extract should also be included. Because high dose vitamin C can lead to diarrhea, it is very important to incorporate the fat-soluble form called ascobyl palmitate. Being fat soluble, this form of vitamin C stays in the body much longer than regular vitamin C and in effect extends the efficacy of vitamin C in the body while at the same time reduces the amount of vitamin C needed.

This mega vitamin cocktail therapy will increase blood concentrations of important substances and focuses on:

· Strengthening and healing damaged blood vessels
· Lowering LP(a) blood levels
· Inhibiting the binding of LP(a) molecules on the walls of blood vessels

2.Homocysteine is an amino acid by-product of food metabolism. It contributes to atherosclerosis, reduces the flexibility of blood vessels, and increases clotting by making platelets stickier and slows blood flow. Studies show a direct positive correlation between high serum homocysteine levels and the risk of heart attack and stroke.

A high homocysteine level is also associated with Alzheimer’s disease, as well as depression, multiple sclerosis, menopausal symptoms, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Homocysteine is formed naturally when protein is broken down. Too much of it causes oxidative damage to the endothelium
Homocysteine levels is about 4 to 6 in teenagers and it increases 1 to 2 points as we age.Lowering homocysteine levels is considered to be anti aging.Dropping the level by 5 points can lower the risk of heart attack by 50%. Researchers found that heart disease patients who took 5 milligrams (mg) of folic acid daily ( not microgram or mcg) for 12 weeks had slightly better functioning of their arterial inner lining, or endothelium, and a greater ability to widen their arteries appropriately, than those who took an inactive placebo.The main sources of folic acid is liver, kidney, broccoli, beef, kale, turnip greens, and beats. Cooking destroys as much as 90 percent of a food’s folic acid content.The RDA is 400 mcg a day. Its level is also depleted by chronic alcohol consumption and medications such as anticonvulsant. In fact, studies have shown that eating 400 mcg of folic acid from food alone does not raise the serum folic acid concentration anywhere close to that obtained by simple folic acid supplementation. You need more than what food can provide. 3.Fibrinogen  is a key indicator in heart disease risk. In one study of 116 men, it was found that people who have high LDL (bad) cholesterol but low fibrinogen level had only 1/6 the heart attack risk of men with high LDL level and high fibrinogen levels. High fibrinogen levels promote the spontaneous formation of fibrin clots and increase the risk of heart disease. Reducing the level of fibrinogen is therefore an important part of a heart disease prevention program.Natto is a fermented cheese like food and its use as a folk remedy for heart and cardio vascular disease has been well established.It is produced using a fermentation process by adding a beneficial bacterium known as bacillus-natto to boiled soybeans. The resulting nattokinase enzyme is then produced when the bacillus natto acts on the soybean. Nattokinase produces a prolonged action in two ways: it prevents the coagulation of blood and dissolves existing thrombus.4.Arterial StiffnessOne of the hallmarks of aging is the loss of collagen supporting structure throughout the body.  Our blood vessel is also structurally supported by collagen. As this collagen structure deteriorates, stiffening of the arteries occurs. Indeed, the fact that arteries stiffen with age, and that such changes are associated with an increased incidence of major cardiovascular events and increase in blood pressure, is now established beyond doubt.

As collagen is lost and elasticity reduced, stiffening of the arterial wall lead to increase in systolic and diastolic pressure.  Anyone over age 45 can practically assume that arterial stiffening is already in a progressive state. Unless active steps are taken, the stiffening will continue. Those who have elevated blood pressure should be specially concerned as it may indicate arterial stiffening. Unfortunately, there are no medications that can reduce the arterial stiffness at this time. Nitric Oxide is produced by the inner most layer of the arteries called the endothelium. Once produced, it rapidly spreads through the cell membrane to the underlying muscle cells, causing them to relax from its default-constricted state. This results in the dilation and widening of the artery lumen. Blood pressure drops as a result. Because NO is short lived, a constant supply of it is generated by the endothelial cells in response to the sheer stress of the blood flow on the artery walls. In arthrosclerosis, the endothelium has been damaged by free radical attacks as well as plaque formation and inflammatory response. The capacity to produce NO is reduced, and the vascular musculature constricts and blood pressure can be elevated. Too much NO can lead to  a fall in the blood pressure, while too little NO can lead to rise in blood pressure. As we age, the elasticity of our blood vessels declines due to collagen loss, free radical damage, as well as plaque accumulation. Poor diet, lack of exercise, cigarette smoking, and genetic predisposition all contribute to a breakdown of collagen fibers that support the blood vessels. This results in the lack of elasticity. Blood vessels then become passive and stiff pipe-like structures which raises blood pressure, forcing the heart to work harder. In addition to helping the blood vessels relax, NO also helps to prevent the clogging of arteries in several ways. First, it prevents the white blood cells from sticking to the arterial wall. It also helps to prevent damage to the arterial wall by reducing the production of free radicals. In other words, it acts like an antioxidant. Exercise alone has also been shown to increase the production of NO in the body. This may explain why exercises can reduce blood pressure. The effect of adding the amino acid arginine and vitamin C and E to an exercise program have been shown to synergistically increase NO production. Even without exercise these supplements will work on their own to increase NO. L-arginine supplementation has also been shown to significantly reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure. L-arginine has long been used in the enhancement of sports performance and cardiac function. Arginine, in high dose, promotes an increase in the body’s production of insulin like growth factor (a measure of human growth hormone). Its use, together with lysine, ornithine and glutamine, is one way to stimulate the body’s release of growth hormone.

5. Cellular Energy Metabolism

Mitochondria are the energy factories of the cell. The energy currency they produce is ATP. Generation of ATP is therefore vital to cellular process. Coenzyme Q10, or ubiquinone, is a vital component in the ATP-generating process. It acts as an electron acceptor/proton donor; hence its presence in the body is fundamental to the support of cellular life. It is omnipresent in body tissues.

The following are proven nutrients that promote cellular metabolism and should be taken by everyone concerned with heart health.

Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone)

The body’s production of CoQ10 begins to decline after age 20 to just 50% of levels by age 70. Because the function of the heart is so dependent on the energy produced with the help of CoQ10, CoQ10 is extremely important for heart health. It is also important as a powerful antioxidant and a membrane stabilizer. The range of heart conditions for which research has found CoQ10 beneficial include (1) congestive heart failure, (2) cardiomyopathies, (3) arrhythmias, (4) angina, when there is a lack of oxygen, and (5) muscular dystrophy.

CoQ10 also plays a vital role as an antioxidant in cellular membranes and plasma lipoproteins. You can get CoQ10 from your diet, although the amount of food intake is insubstantial. For example, one pound of sardines or 2.5 pounds of peanuts provide 30 mg of CoQ10.

Working synergistically with CoQ10 are two endogenous antioxidants that enhance mitochondrial function and reduce free radical damage - L-Carnitine and Lipoic Acid.

6. CRP
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein released into the bloodstream any time there is active inflammation in the body, such as infections and arthritis. Recent studies have shown,   that an elevated blood level of CRP is strongly predictive of future cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke. In other words, CRP is an independent marker of cardiovascular risk, and may be a partial explanation for why some patients develop significant coronary artery disease despite normal cholesterol levels. There is suggestive evidence that both aspirin and statin drugs can reduce CRP levels to a certain degree. However, there are side effects accompanying the use of these drugs. Certain lifestyle changes can also lead to a reduction in CRP levels, such as smoking, metabolic syndrome (syndrome X),

A. Omega-3 Fatty Acid

Omega-3 fatty acids provide a range of benefits and protection for the heart and our body. In addition to reducing the risk of heart disease, they also help prevent blood clotting, heart attacks and irregular heartbeats that could lead to sudden cardiac death. They are anti-inflammatory, and inflammation is a key initiator of the atherosclerotic cascade leading to plaque formation and sudden death. Omega-3 also has anti-cancer functions. One cannot underestimate the benefits of omega3 fatty acids in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

B. CurcuminCurcumin comes from turmeric root and is an ancient spice within the ginger family that is widely used in cooking. Its use dates back to the time of Egyptian pharaohs more than 6,000 years ago. A tall, stemless, perennial plant cultivated throughout the tropics, turmeric is what gives curry its unique color and flavor.

In addition to its kitchen uses, curcumin has been used by traditional medicine for wide variety of ailments including liver disease indigestion, urinary tract diseases, inflamed joints, insect bites, and dermatological disorders Although the chemical structure of curcumin was discovered in 1910, it was only during the mid 1970s and that the potential uses of curcuminoids in medicine began to be extensively studied. It has been shown that curcumin has both strong anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s anti-inflammatory property help to bring curcumin into the forefront of heart disease prevention supplements.
Curcumin has a similar anti-inflammatory action to aspirin. However, unlike aspirin curcumin inhibits the production of inflammatory prostaglandins. It does not affect the synthesis of prostacyclin, an important factor in preventing vascular thrombosis. Compared to drugs, curcumin may therefore be preferable for patients who are prone to vascular thrombosis and require anti-inflammatory and/or anti-arthritic therapy.
 Since curcumin also lowers cholesterol levels by increasing the flow of bile out of the liver, those with biliary tract obstruction should not use curcumin. Always take curcumin with food.

7. Triglyceride
Of the four commonly measured lipid markers (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride), triglyceride is the most underappreciated and perhaps the most important. Reason – we don’t know enough about triglyceride metabolism within the body.

Triglycerides are etherified fatty oils Triglycerides and cholesterol both measure the total amount of lipoproteins in the serum. The associated cardiovascular disease risk prediction offered by triglycerides and cholesterol by themselves is 44%, but when coupled with low Vitamin A and E, looking at the ratio of (cholesterol + triglycerides)/ (Vitamin A & E), the risk predictive power goes to 85% accuracy.

A diet high in saturated fats, such as red meat and a diet high in simple carbohydrates and starchy food (such as sugar, rice, and wheat respectively) raise serum triglyceride drastically. Only 20% of the ingested sugar load can be burned or stored as glycogen at any one meal. The remainder 80% will be converted to triglyceride that can contribute to the build up of acidity, or stored as fat deposits. triglyceride elevation is almost universally related to dietary intake of sugar (inclu
. Medications are available to lower triglyceride level, but this is seldom necessary as long as a strict no grain diet is adhered to.

Start with eliminating all grain products from the evening meal. This includes wheat, rye, barley, potato, bread, and rice. It is usually difficult in the beginning and carbohydrate cravings may be experienced. Eat nuts like amonds if hungry. As the body slowly gets used to the reduced grains intake at dinner,  also reduce grains intake at lunch. Substitute with more above the ground vegetables, eggs (raw is best, and try not to cook the yolk too well), and unroasted nuts. Oils are acceptable as long they have not been exposed to high heat. Use virgin olive oil for salads and light stir fry, butter for high heat frying, and coconut oil for deep-frying (which should be kept to a minimum). As usual, no desserts after dinner, and reduce snacks before bedtime. All refined carbohydrates such as cookies, ice cream, and chips should be avoided. Follow the above, and the triglycerides level will come down drastically in a matter of weeks.  

For those unable to follow no grain diet, taking a natural compound called panthethine at 600-1200 mg a day will effectively lower triglyceride as well without any side effects. Other nutritional supplementation that can help lowering triglyceride includes L-carnitine (500-3,000mg), chromium polynicotinate (400 to 1,200 mcg), venadyl sulfate (15-30mg), EPA/DHA (500 –5,000 mg)

8. Total cholesterol / HDL Cholesterol ratio.
Cholesterol is a key macronutrient the body cannot do without. It is a precursor to all the steroid hormones in our body, including pregnenolone, DHEA, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol. Too low a total cholesterol level (under 150mg/dl) have been associated with cancer and brain function impairment. The ideal total cholesterol level should be around 200 mg/dl.

HDL is the “good” cholesterol. It is a carrier of “bad” LDL and oxidized-LDL cholesterol from the blood stream back to the liver. The higher the HDL level, the better.  Exercise has shown to increase HDL as well.The ideal Total cholesterol / HDL cholesterol ratio should be 3.5 or less, and preferably under 2.5.
9.LDL cholesterol

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is the major cholesterol carrier in the blood. If too much LDL cholesterol circulates in the blood, it can get oxidized. It is the oxidized form of this that triggers a series of inflammatory reaction in the blood stream, providing a trigger for heart attack and stroke. It is therefore also called the “bad” cholesterol for a good reason. Oxidized LDL slowly builds up in the walls of the arteries feeding the heart and brain. Together with other substances it can form plaque.

A high level of LDL cholesterol  reflects an increased risk of heart disease.  

There are drugs on the market to reduce Cholesterol, but the have severe side effects.. For those requiring immediate normalization without drugs, the following should be considered: : panthethine , panthothenic acid , chromium polynicotinate , ascorbic acid , guccolipid  and polycosinol

 10.Total cholesterol

Thanks to mass-market commercialization, total cholesterol testing is now easily and widely available. A simple pinprick and a drop of blood on a test strip can offer almost instant results in a matter of minutes.

If the total cholesterol is high and is due to high HDL cholesterol, there is no cause for alarm. Any attempt to lower total cholesterol in such case is in fact unwarranted. HDL cholesterol should be as high as possible. If the total cholesterol level is high primarily due to a high LDL or triglyceride level, then a cholesterol-lowering program should be considered. However, the therapeutic pathway to lowering LDL (with statin drugs or nutritional supplementation) is different from that of triglyceride lowering (by diet, drugs, and nutritional supplements). It is imperative that a critical distinction be made to determine if the root cause of the high cholesterol is due to high LDL or high triglyceride prior to initiation to therapeutic measures.

Specifically, if the high total cholesterol is due to a high triglyceride level, then a no grain dietary approach is best, and using drugs to normalize triglyceride without dietary change is a band-aid approach. A no grain diet will be able to universally lower triglyceride level unless it is a familial condition. Patients are subjected to ever-higher doses of statin drugs unnecessarily when all it needs is simple dietary change if the main cause of high cholesterol is due to triglyceride overload.

Traditionally, a total cholesterol value of less than 200 mg/dl is considered desirable, while the value of over 240 mg/dl is considered high. By now it should be obvious that simply looking at the total cholesterol alone without considering HDL, LDL, or triglyceride will not give a true picture and is obviously incomplete. In this respect, it can be seen that the total cholesterol number on its own is of little significant clinical value. The use of natural nutritional supplementation to normalize these markers have been well studied and their effectiveness not in doubt. They should represent the first line defence for those who are at risk or have a damaged cardiovascular system. Optimization with a complete nutritional program focused on the heart will not only reduce risk, but in fact in many cases, can reverse existing damage without the side effects often seen by medications. CardioflexQ10 is a scientifically proven formula containing a unique cardio amino blend and Co Q10 .It is based on Nobel Prize Laureate Dr. Linus Pauling’s research for lowering cholesterol, increasing energy, controlling blood pressure, lowering high blood pressure, alleviating chest pains, improving circulation and improving HLD cholesterol. It is a comprehensive nutritional cocktail, and should be considered and taken on a daily basis,in conjunction with Cardiomega3 Seal Oil, and Liquid Ionic Magnesium for a strong and healthy heart. http://www.nucellcanada.ca/store

I was first introduced to this anti aging product, the CELLFOOD family at a Health food show in Toronto Canada four years ago. Since then I have been taking three of their products- the original Cellfood, DNA/RNA/Cellfood and the Multi Vitamin/Cellfood. The previous winter, before being introduced to this wonderful anti aging supplement CELLFOOD ,was my first winter in Canada, and I was sick for the entire winter although it was considered to be a mild one. Since then I have been on this anti aging supplement supplying oxygen, and I have not been sick at all. If I do get exposed to a germ or virus, and I do get infected I would not be knocked flat like others around me. It would have me slightly uncomfortable for a day or two, with maybe a slight sore throat or runny nose for a few hours .How I wish that everyone I knew would be on this anti aging formula, CELLFOOD, for instinctively I knew that CELLFOOD was an amazing product. After reading about it, however, I became convinced that CELLFOOD was a treasure, yet to be discovered by the bulk of humanity.

The concern of weight loss is uppermost in everyone’s mind,and we all want a quick diet plan or detoxification method to get rid in one week ,what we have taken a lifetime to build up!My plan is no quick fix,but is one to get to the root cauce ofproblems and help youy to make a life style change for your health and well being and of course inevitably your weight, which is what you are concerned about. Right?
One of the most important organs in your body for keeping your weight down is your liver. There is nothing more that you can do for yourself to control your weight than keeping your liver healthy! When your liver is sluggish every organ in your body is affected and your weight loss efforts are blocked.
The liver performs more than 400 different jobs , and is the body’s most important organ,functioning as a filter to cleansethe body of toxins,metabolize protein,control hormonal balanceand produce immune boosting factors.Your liver is a work horse that can even regenerate its own damaged cells!Your liver, however, is not invincible.When it lacks essential nutrients,or when it is overwhelmed by toxins, it no longer performs as it should.  Hormone imbalances may develop. Fat may accumulate in the liver and hjust under the skin,or in other organs.
 Toxins build up and gat into the blood stream.
Among the signs of a toxic liver are weight gain, especially around the abdomen,cellulite, blooating,indegestion,high blood pressure,elevated cholesterol,fatigue,mood swings depression,and even skin rashes.
Your liver is a fat burning machine.Each day it produces bile,that emulsifies and absorbs fat in the small intestine.Bile is the real key to the liver’s ability  to digest and assimilate fats.If there is not enougjh bile produced,fat cannot be emulsified. if you have a roll of fat around your waist line,you may have what is commonly called a “fatty liver”. Your liver has stopped processing fat and has started storing it.Only when you bring your liver back to full function, would you lose this fat.
 The liver is an efficient metabolizer.zit metabolises not only fats , but proteins and carbohydrates for use by the body.It converts various aminoacids into various proteins that may have a rirect or indirect impact upon your weight.Many proteins transport proteins through the blood stream, and hormone balance is critical to avoid water retention,bloating and cravings as well other health problems.Proteins also help transport wastes,such as damaged cholesterol,and used estrogen and insulin to the liver for detoxification and elimination through the kidney.
 The liver’s most important  function and the one the puts it at greatest risk for damageis to detoxify the myriad toxins that assault our bodies daily.Working together with the lungs, kidneys, skin and intestines,a healthy detoxifies many harmful substances and eliminates them with out contaminating the bloodstream.
 Common liver stressors are caffeine from coffee , chocolate, cocoa, tea,and some soft drinks, kola nut,and a host odf of over the counter medications.
Sugar is also a terrible liver stressor. You may say you don’t use suugar, but you may be ingesting it from, a lot of prepared food quite unknowinglyIn the process of being metabolised sugar robs your bodyof valuable nutrients,some of which like zinc are essential for liver function.Sugar also inhibits your liver’s production of enzymes needed in the detoxification process.
 A major liver stressor is trans fat opr trans fatty acids found in solid fats or semi solid fats like margarine.Trans fat impede your liver’s ability to burn fat.
 Some medications also cause the liver to work harder. Sometimes it’s best to look for a natural form of healing to replace a synthetic product.
 Not eating adequate amounts of fibre can also put pressure on the liver, for fibre helps remove toxins out of the body.For example insoluble fibres from flax seed oil, absorbs water in the digestive tract and speeds up the time taken to move materials out through the intestines. Without adequate fibre,90% of cholesterol and bile acids would be reabsorbed and recirculated to the liver.This taxes your liver and reduces its fst burning abilities.
 regardless of the cause a sluggest overworked liver does a poor job metabolising fat and you therefor gain weight.

 So how do we care for a tired toxic liver?

No sooner has your body reached its peak in your twenties ,that it begins the slow and long decline into aging. Aging is a disease and anti aging is the slowing down of that disease. Unlike what some people think, aging is not an inevitable process and a natural consequence of time .Aging is a progressive deficiency disease and anti aging is controlling that disease. To combat aging one has to begin an anti aging nutrition regimen at an early age.Inactivity is an enemy to longevity. Never stop exercising your body, regardless of whether you are physically fit or not. Try to get some form of exercise done.Good posture is especially important to aging. For example poor posture can restrict your oxygen supply thereby affecting your overall health

Aging is a result of how you have lived. Aging is like a bank account . You draw out in later life exactly what you have put in along the way. However ,it is never too late to renew both your body and mind with anti aging strategies. Dying is inevitable but we can grow old with out the aches and pains of aging. So I encourage you to become aware and do something about your aging..Disease is not a consequence of aging but rather of poor choices and lifestyle, and it begins at the cellular level, so feed your cells with proper nutrition and regenerate them .Only you can make that decision to make the lifestyle change, in your eating habits ,in your exercise programme and in taking a proper anti aging supplement for your health., and in avoiding abuse to the body like smoking, excessive drinking, and drug usage.Not only does relationships contribute to good health, “quality” relationship is a prime factor in anti-aging longevity living. To develop and establish “quality” relationships, you need to:§ Learn the art of communication.

There are many anti-aging factors that may help you live longer and stay younger: however, genes play an important role in anti aging but you can still make up for it if you don’t have good genes by adopting a healthy anti aging lifestyleOptimism is anti-aging. Don’t worry and be happy. This is simple and down-to-earth wisdom that holds the key to longevity. All long-lived people are optimistic, and don’t let troubles make them depressed, passive, or inflexible. Stress is a real killer, and it really ages a person fast. Go after good stress like sexual excitement and sport thrills and other physical challenges..Humour is not only great medicine for anti aging but some say it also burns calories. It helps you to change your attitude from a negative one to a positive one. Develop a sense of humour in life. Laugh at yourself as well as others. Laughing in the face of adversity, even of death, relieves your stress and lightens your mood. Humour is the way of life, especially for those who are aging. An individual who has a sense of humour and who laughs all the time lasts and lives longer. Always try to keep your mind active. Keep on studying, or playing games to challenge and develop your mental capacity.Keep your relationships healthy. Learn to forgive, Release all negative feelings towards others. It’s always better to have a friend than an enemy. Imagine that you have a huge eraser and erase unpleasant memories or imagined or real injustices towards yourself. Don’t hold on to bad experiences , rehashing and rehashing them in your mind. It harms no one but you. Learn to release them. Contribute to making a relationship a happy one. Instead of itemizing what the other person is not doing for you, try to make a list of things you can do for him or her.

Oxygen is the most  copious of all elements that support life on Earth. It is the element that is most abundant in the Earth’s crust, comprises almost half of all vegetation, more than three quarters of sea water, and almost half of dry soil. This tasteless, colourless and odourless element comprises more than 65% of the human body.
Dr Otto Warburg, biochemist and Nobel  prize winner has shown that Cancer cells cannot grow in an environment that is plentiful in oxygen When Oxygen fails , he says ,and fermentation is replaced for a cell’s energy, the pathway to cancer is opened. The primary cause of cancer ,he insists,is the substitution of the normal oxygen respiration of body cells by respiration of cells without oxygen.
All functions of our body are regulated by oxygen. It must be replaced every moment because 90% of our lives depends on it. Oxygen energizes cells so they can regenerate. Our body. uses oxygen to metabolise food and to eliminate toxins and waste through oxidation. Our brain needs oxygen each second to process information. All of our organs need a great deal of oxygen to function efficiently. The ability to think ,feel ,move eat, sleep and even talk all depend on energy generated from oxygen.
Oxygen is the only element capable of combining with almost every other element to form the essentials components necessary to build and maintain our body. For example oxygen + nitrogen+ hydrogen= protein: oxygen+ carbon+ hydrogen=carbohydrates: oxygen +hydrogen=water.
The vast majority of  living organisms rely on oxygen to generate oxidative power. At the present time  research scientists have determined that our atmospheric oxygen concentration levels are being reduced by 0.8 % every 15 years. At one time the Earth`s atmosphere contained between 38% and 50 % of oxygen. The levels of it now in the atmosphere is thought to be below 20% ,and in over populated areas it may even be lower. This depletion would obviously have detrimental effects to life as we know it and would  mean that we do have to ensure that we get some form of supplemental oxygen therapy.
Doctors and scientists  feel that blood deficient in oxygen is the main cause of metabolic disorders. This is most recognizable by the creation of uric acid in the body.The  cause of many chronic illnesses is due to the distribution of this most dangerous poison throughout the body. Dangerous because of its  insolubility. For the body to regain its health , it must be supported in its efforts to ingest sufficient oxygen to increase energy , produce proper oxidation and detoxify itself of these poisons.
Oxygen is absorbed  by haemoglobin in the blood and is transferred to every cell in the body. Cellular homeostatis is dependent on an adequate supply of oxygen in the  blood ,and a lack of oxygen results in sickness, poor vitality poor stamina, fatigue and a general weak disposition. Authorities stress that most diseases especially yeast or fungal infections  like candida albians occur most frequently in any oxygen poor environment in the body. Dr. Stephen Levine, a molecular biologist and respected nutrition researcher has also stated,” We can look at oxygen deficiency as the single greatest cause of disease.” Thus the development of a shortage of oxygen in the blood could very well be the starting point for the loss of the immune system and the beginning of feared health problems such as cancer, leukemia, aids, seizures ,nerve deterioration and candida.

Oxygen is a powerful detoxifier  and when it is deficient ,then toxins begin to devastate the body functions and deplete the body of life giving energy. Initial symptoms of oxygen deficiency may include weakness, fatigue, circulations problems, poor digestion, muscle aches and pains, dizziness, depression, memory loss, irrational behaviour, irritability, acid stomach and bronchial complications. One of oxygen’s main function in the body  is disintegration; rubble, garbage, toxins, refuse, debris, and any useless substance are destroyed by oxygen and carried out of the system. One can therefore realise the vital importance of oxygen to  life.
