Are You Overweight or Underweight?

BMI For Adults Widget

 

If you are overweight, take precaution now. If you are underweight, take action  about your condition.

Herald Sun ; Blanche Clark;  January 01, 2014 1:30PM;  

Recent figures by the National Health Reporting Authority show the nation's obesity rate has ballooned, with 10.8 million Australians now classified as overweight or obese.

Dr. Steve Boutcher said visceral fat was found under the abdominal muscles, around the liver, spleen, intestines and kidneys.   

"A middle-aged, overweight person will become a diabetic, no doubt about it, unless they change their lifestyle, start exercising and lose that visceral fat," he said. 


 

"People think the dangerous fat is the fat you can hold, around the back of your arms, your hips and abdomen; but in general that's healthy fat that stores hormones and energy," he said.

 

"Not so the visceral fat - these belly fat cells secrete chemicals called cytokines, which make the liver inflamed. They also bombard the liver with free fatty acids, which can lead to the onset of type 2 diabetes."

Type 2 Diabetes: Insulin Resistance

In type 2 diabetes, the body's cells cannot take up glucose properly, leading to high levels of glucose in the blood. Insulin resistance means that although the body can produce insulin, the body's cells do not respond properly to the insulin that is made. Over time, the pancreas reduces the amount of insulin that it produces (see diagram above)

Dr Steve Boutcher said four studies had shown that if a person exercised intensively for 20 minutes, three times a week - the equivalent of one hour a week - they could reduce their waist circumference and risk of diabetes and heart disease.

Health Benefits of Lion's Mane Mushroom

Have you heard about Lion's Mane Mushroom?   

For your information, the Lion's Mane mushroom has drawn the attention of researchers for its extraordinary nerve-regenerative properties.

Moreover, it is increasingly studied for its neuroprotective effect.

It has numerous health benefits which I wish to share with all of us. My family and I have been taking the DXN Lion's Mane tablets for about 5 years now as a protection against various age-related diseases. Some of my friends who are suffering from digestive and nerve related problems are also happy and satisfied with the results they are getting.  

All the materials for  this blog are extracted and synthesised from the following sources :

http://www.superfoods-for-superhealth.com/lions-mane.html  

What does Lion's Mane mushroom  contain, you may ask? Well, it  contains beta glucan polysaccharides, in addition to polypeptides and fatty acids that help regulate the immune system, enhancing white blood cell count to help the healing process.  
 
Here's the image of the DXN Lion's Mane tablets- it's tasty, small and breaks up easily when chewed.  



Benefits of Consuming Lion's Mane tablets?

Nerve Regenerator  

Lion's mane mushroom  has the amazing task of promoting the synthesis of Nerve Growth Aspect (NGF), according to Dr. Hirokazu Kawagishi from Shizoka College in Japan who is a world-leading authority on Lion's Mane mushroom for more than a decade. 

Nerve growth aspect (NGF) is a small, secreted protein that is essential for the maintenance, upkeep, survival and regeneration  of particular target neurons. Neurons are made of approximately 100 billion nerve cells. 

Dr. Kawagishi and his group separated two kinds of molecules within Lion's Mane mushroom that both promote NGF manufacturing and likewise, crucially, pass unrestricted with the blood-brain obstacle.   

Two novel classes of Nerve Growth Factors (NGFs) -- molecules stimulating the differentiation and re-myelination of neurons – that have been discovered in this mushroom so far are termed "hericenones" and "erinacines" that are known to cross the myelin sheath barrier for effective delivery of NGF.  

Hericium erinaceus is a potent inducer of brain tissue regeneration. Mycologist Paul Stamets says, "Lion's mane mushroom mycelium is nature's nutrients for your neurons."

Nerve Growth Factor cannot, however, be orally given to recipients because it does not cross the blood-brain barrier that protects the brain. A lack of NGF is considered one of the major causes of Alzheimer's disease.

 

The mushroom was proven effective for its ability to efficiently stimulate neuron growth, improving muscle-motor response pathways in Parkinson's and repairing neurological trauma in stroke victims.

In recent times, the field of neuroscience has proved that even as we age, our brain keeps the ability to grow brand-new neurons through a procedure called neurogenesis. NGF and other neurotrophins are chemicals that assist to manage and stimulate neurogenesis. 

About a dozen studies have been published on the neuroregenerative properties of lion's mane mushrooms since 1991, when Dr. Kawagishi first identified NGFs in Japanese samples. Since his original discovery, in vitro and in vivo tests have confirmed that hericenones and erinacines stimulate nerve regeneration.

Brain Function 

Lion's mane may benefit older adults with mild cognitive impairment (see Phytotherapy Research, 2009). The researchers assigned 30 older Japanese adults with mild cognitive impairment to take either lion's mane extract or a placebo every day for 16 weeks.

In cognitive tests given at weeks eight, 12, and 16 of the study, members of the lion's mane group showed significantly greater improvements compared to members of the placebo group.  

In a more recent study (see Biomedical Research, 2011), scientists examined the effects of lion's mane on brain function in mice. Results revealed that lion's mane helped protect against memory problems caused by buildup of amyloid beta (a substance that forms the brain plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease).

Depression/Anxiety/Irritability/Nervousness

The influence of lion's mane influence on neurological functions may also have other added benefits -- making you feel good. 

In another small clinical study (n=30), post-menopausal women consumed cookies containing either lion's mane or a placebo every day for four weeks. The findings revealed that members of the lion's mane group were LESS  irritable, depressed and anxious and had LESS DIFFICULTY d concentrating than members of the placebo group (Nagano et al., 2010, Biomedical Research in 2010).

My next Blog will address the other health benefits of Lion's Mane mushroom.
