The Health Benefits of Omega 3 Fatty Acids

By Kyle J. Norton

Omega-3 fatty acids are phytochemicals in the class of lipids, found abundantly in deepsea fisk, dark-green leafy vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.

The three main components of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention of diseases, researchers examined the myriad health benefits of omega-3 PUFAs.

According to the search of epidemiological studies, omega-3 PUFAs exerted a strong activity against the risk and treatment of
* Cardiovascular diseases
Cardiovascular disease is a group of conditions triggered by the abnormal function of the heart and blood vessels abnormality.

The 3 most common forms of cardiovascular disease in North America are coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, and carotid artery disease caused by plaques build-up of plaque in the arteries that supply blood to the heart, the arms and legs, and the brain, respectively.
* Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic condition caused by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate the glucose.

Most common types of diabetes are
**Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, the most common form of diabetes found in children is a condition in which the pancreas does not produce any insulin. The most common form of type 1 diabetes is caused by genetic mutation and some viruses.

** Type 2 diabetes is a medical condition characterized by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate glucose due to either cell in the pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol.

* Cancer
Cancer is the class of diseases associated with the growth of the cells disorderly and uncontrollably due to the alternation of DNA.

According to the statistics provided by the American cancer society, in 2018,1,735,350 new cases were diagnosed, representing more than 4,700 new cancer diagnoses each day.

The lifetime probability of being diagnosed with cancer is 39.7% for men and 37.6% for women.
* Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease is a brain disorder correlated with major reductions of neurons to the respective target areas, named after German physician Alois Alzheimer. Alzheimer's destroys brain cells, causing cognitive modalities severe enough to affect language communication, memory, lifelong hobbies or social life. Alzheimer's gets worse over time, and it is fatal. 

According to statistics, over 25 million people in the world today are affected by dementia and most are suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

* Dementia
About 5-8% of all people over the age of 65 have some form of dementia, and this number doubles every five years above that age. Dementia is the loss of mental ability that is severe enough to interfere with people's every life and Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia in aging people.

* Depression
Depression is a normal response as part of our daily lives such as the loss of s job, the death of a loved one, and illness. Over 30 million Americans suffer from depression and the amount is increasing at an alarming rate. Depression may be a mental health disorder that can affect the way you eat, sleep, and the way you feel about yourself.

Furthermore, omega 3 fatty acids improved fetal health including slightly increase a baby’s weight at birth and the length of time the baby is in the womb, both of which may be beneficial. Breast milk contains DHA.

However, researchers explained, "there are also some controversies about their efficacy and certain benefits to human health".

Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids may be considered a functional food for the promotion of health benefits, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Beta-Sitosterol, the Potential Anti-Skin Cancer Supplement

By Kyle J. Norton

Skin, a large organ that forms the out layers of our body has a serval layer of ectodermal tissue to protect the underlying muscles, bones, ligaments and internal organs against foreign pathogenic invasion.

Skin cancer is a medical condition of uncontrolled growth of abnormal skin cells and often detected at an early stage.

Most cases of primary skin cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner ling of the skin. At the advanced stage, the cancerous cells can travel a distance away from the skin to infect other healthy tissue and organ through blood and fluid circulation.

There are 3 main types of cells in the top layer of the skin (called the epidermis):
Squamous cells, Basal cells, and Melanocytes.

Long-term cumulative sun exposure is one of the major causes of basal cell and squamous cell skin cancer. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the leading cause of melanoma.

Certain risk factors that make some people susceptible to the development of skin cancer than others, include the increase in age, weakened immune system, gender, skin tone, genetic preposition, and family history.

According to the statistics, skin cancer is the most common cancer in the US. one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.

Every day, approximately 9,500 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with skin cancer due to a misunderstanding of the health benefits and risk of sun and tanning exposure.

Most common symptoms at the early stage, are a large brownish spot with darker speckles, a mole that changes in color, size or feel or that bleeds, a small lesion with an irregular border and portions that appear red, pink, white, blue or blue-black.

Beta-Sitosterol is a phytochemical in the class of Phytosterols, belongings to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in avocados, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, fennel, peanuts, soybeans, hawthorn, basil, buckwheat. etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention and treatment of cancer, researchers compared the effects of Betulinic acid (1), betulinic acid-3-acetate (2), 3-acetyl betulin aldehyde (3), oleanolic acid-3-acetate (4), 3-β-hydroxy-28,19-β-olenolide (5), and β-sitosterol (6) were isolated from Platanus orientalis on skin cancer cells.

According to the chemical analysis, The (1 ) is the most abundant component (4.63%) compared to the least of the (5) (0.017%) the least.

All isolated compounds showed a significant cytotoxic effect against human keratinocyte, mouse melanoma, and human skin epithelial carcinoma cancer cells according to the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay.

In other words, all compounds found in Platanus orientalis work synergistically against the skin cancer risk in vivo.

Taken altogether, beta-sitosterol may be considered supplements for the prevention of od skin cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Tocopherols Protect the Heart Against the Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases CVD

By Kyle J. Norton

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of conditions associated with the heart and blood vessels.

In other words, anything that serves to damage the inner lining of blood vessels and impedes the transportation of oxygen and nutrition to the heart can be defined as a risk of heart disease.

The causes of cardiovascular diseases are associated with the accumulation of plaques in the arteries, impeding the blood flow which carries the nutrients and oxygen to the heart, which causes damage to the heart tissue and reduced function of the arteries.

In other words, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, weight, depression and family history associated with the early onset of plaques accumulated and impeding function of the arteries are the prevalent risk factors of cardiovascular diseases.

According to the statistic cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women in the US with 90% of women having one risk factor.

Believe it or not, women are 4 times more likely to die from heart disease than breast cancer and 2/3 of women are not aware of heart disease is such a risk for them, according to the Jean Hailes for Women Health in the article cardiovascular health.

According to statistics, heart disease is the second leading cause of death, claiming more than 48,000 lives every year.in Canada.

Tocopherols are phytochemicals of which many have vitamin E activity, belonging to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in butter, egg yolk, milk fat, some vegetable, and seed or nut oils, etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of chronic diseases, researchers examined the effect of tocotrienol on oxidative stress and inflammation in the manifestation of aging-related cardiovascular disease.

According to the analysis,  vitamin E supplement demonstrated significant activity in reducing the expression of oxidative stress induced by chronic inflammation.

More precisely, the efficacy of vitamin E that decreases the oxidative stress-induced cardiovascular disease was attributed to the presence of chemical compounds tocotrienols and tocopherols

More precisely, tocopherols, a class of Vitamin E compounds showed a lesser antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activity compared to those of tocotrienols (the other class of Vitamin E compounds), in ameliorating aging-related cardiovascular diseases and its associated morbidities.

Based on the results, researchers said, "the potential of tocotrienols in improving inflammation, dyslipidemia and mitochondrial dysfunction in aging-related cardiovascular diseases...".

Taken altogether, tocopherols may be considered a supplement for reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of tocopherols in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Phytochemical Beta-Sitosterol, the Anti-Bacterial Remedy

By Kyle J. Norton

Bacteria is a type of biological cell consisted of a single cell with a simple internal structure. The most common diseases caused by bacteria are strep throat, urinary tract infections, and tuberculosis.

Infection is an inflammatory condition caused by a microbial invasion on body tissues

Most cases of bacterial infection are treated with antibiotics. However, bacteria are very adaptable, overuse of antibiotics has been found to make them resistant to antibiotics.

The most common symptoms of bacterial infection include redness and heat, swelling, fever, pain at the site of infection.

Out of trillions of strains of bacteria in the world, only a few cause diseases in humans. Believe it or not, our gut contains trillion microorganisms, most of them are bacteria.

Infection can be acute or chronic. In the acute phase of infection. The immune macrophages in the first line of defense stimulate the production of blood palette to cover the wound and pro-inflammatory cytokines to the site of the infection to kill off pathogens.

However, overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the acute phase of infection has also killed off or damage to the nearby healthy cells, leading to the formation of scars.

Symptoms of the acute infection include gastrointestinal discomforts, such as congestion vomiting or nausea, and diarrhea, short term joint or muscle pain, fever, headache, skin rash and cough, Some patients with acute infection also experience symptoms of swollen lymph nodes, an indication of the body is fighting infection.

In most cases in a healthy individual, depending on the size of the wound, the immune system can easily eradicate all foreign invaders and the wound is recovered within days and weeks.

In chronic infection, the symptoms are most vague or no specific symptoms, including bronchitis and asthma, persistent low-grade chronic joint and muscle pain, or swelling and the alternations between diarrhea and constipation, bloating, or heartburn, In other words, the symptoms are totally depended on the location of the low-grade inflammation.

Beta-Sitosterol is a phytochemical in the class of Phytosterols, belongings to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in avocados, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, fennel, peanuts, soybeans, hawthorn, basil, buckwheat. etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, researchers examined the antibacterial activity of compounds from the powder of root bark of Malva parviflora (Malvaceae).

According to the chemical analysis of the extracts with petroleum ether (b.p. 60–80 °C), chloroform and ethanol, the chloroform extract showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli compared to the effect of the ethanolic extract against only S. aureus.

The chloroform extract inhibited the bacterial strain properties were characterized as β-sitosterol by physical properties, chemical test, spectral analysis (FTIR, NMR, and MS) and compared the data obtained from the literature.

In other words,  phytochemical β-sitosterol prompted a strong anti-bacterial activity of root bark of Malva parviflora (Malvaceae)

Taken altogether, beta-Sitosterol may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infectious diseases, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of beta-Sitosterol in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Omega 3 Protects Against the Heart Abnormal Rate or Rhythm of the Heartbeat

By Kyle J. Norton

Cardiovascular disease is a medical condition affecting the cardiovascular system, including heart, blood vessels(arteries and veins).

Heart diseases are a class of diseases characterized by a wide range of conditions, such as coronary artery disease, heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias), and heart defects......

The term of heart disease is used interchangeably with cardiovascular diseases in expressed conditions that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke, involving narrowed or blocked blood vessels,

According to the statistics, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US, approximately 610,000 people die of heart disease every year,  representing 1 in every 4 deaths. And coronary heart disease(CHD) is the most common type of heart disease, which kills over 300,000 people in 2015.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) kills over 370,000 people annually.

An arrhythmia is a condition associated with an abnormal rate or rhythm of the heartbeat.

The condition is caused by the electrical impulses that coordinate the  heartbeats don't work properly, causing your heart to beat too fast, too slow or irregularly

The most common symptoms of arrhythmia are, a fluttering in the chest, a racing heartbeat, a slow heartbeat, chest pain and shortness of breath.

Conventionally, treatments of arrhythmias include medications that stop or prevent arrhythmia or control the rate of arrhythmia and cardioversion, which uses electricity to shock the heart back into a normal rhythm.

Omega-3 fatty acids are phytochemicals in the class of lipids, found abundantly in deepsea fisk, dark-green leafy vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.

The three main components of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of heart diseases, researchers examined the Omega 3 fatty acid effects of marine omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in relation to ventricular arrhythmia.

According to the tested analysis, marine omega-3 PUFAs not only showed a strong activity on atrial fibrillation but also in ventricular arrhythmias.

Moreover, according to the results of studies chosen to the investigation
* Rats fed diets enriched in fish oil, sunflower oil, or beef tallow for 6 weeks, with the hearts either subjected to ischemic preconditioning or not showed ischemic preconditioning reduced ventricular arrhythmias in all dietary groups.

* According to the results of heart rate and heart rate variability recorded at rest, during submaximal exercise, and during a 2-min coronary artery occlusion at rest in dogs with a healed myocardial infarction before and after 3 months supplementation with a fish oil or corn oil, fish oil, but not corn oil reduced heart rate and heart variability at rest, but not during exercise or during coronary occlusion

Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids found abundantly in fish oil and plant oil may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of diseases abnormal heart rhythm, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Tocopherols Inhibits the Onset of Colorectal Cancer in Men ONLY

By Kyle J. Norton

The colon-rectum formed a part of the digestive system is involved in the absorption of water from the small bowel contents and broken down of certain materials in the feces and into substances of which some of them to be reabsorbed and reused by the body.

Colorectal cancer is a medical condition caused by cell growth irregularly in the tissue of the colon or rectum due to the alternation of cells DNA.

Colorectal cancer is relatively very common and slowly growing and progressing cancer.

The disease is also the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in developed countries, including the US and Canada.

According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, in the US, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women compared to other types of cancer.

The lifetime risk of colorectal cancer is 1 in 22 (4.49%) for men and 1 in 24 (4.15%) for women.

Approximately, 140,000 cases of colorectal cancer were diagnosed in the US in 2018. Cancer also causes the death of over 50, 000 people, representing 8.3% of total cancer death.

Being overweight or obese. smoking, physical inactivity, excessive alcohol drinking, the increased in age, family and personal history, genetic preposition are some of the prevalent risks of the disease.

Tocopherols are phytochemicals of which many have vitamin E activity, belonging to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in butter, egg yolk, milk fat, some vegetable, and seed or nut oils, etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of cancers, researchers examined the associations of serum carotenoids, retinol, and tocopherols with colorectal cancer risk.

According to the case-control study nested within the Japan Collaborative Cohort Study, including micronutrients measured in prediagnostic serum samples from 116 men and women who developed colorectal cancer during an 8-yr follow-up period and from 298 matched controls,

* In men, the higher level of serum total carotenoids was associated with a decreased risk with the multivariate-adjusted odds ratio (OR) for the highest vs. the lowest tertile of 0.34.

* The increased serum retinol in all subjects and alpha-tocopherol also associated with a decreasing risk of cancer with the ORs for the highest tertiles were 0.29 and 0.29, respectively.

* In women, the higher levels of alpha- and total carotenoids were instead related to increased risk: with the corresponding ORs of 4.72 (95% CI = 1.29-17.3), 2.00 (0.70-5.73), and 2.47 (0.73-8.34), respectively.

Taken altogether, tocopherols may be considered a supplement for treatment of colorectal cancer in MEN only, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of tocopherols in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Cranberry Inhibits the Onset of Insulin Resistance

By Kyle J. Norton

Diabetes is a chronic condition caused by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate the glucose.

Diabetes occurs when cells in the pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol. In some cases, diabetes is also caused by allergic reactions of cells in the immune system.

Insulin resistance is a condition in which cells that convert glucose to energy in the muscles, body fat, intestine, and liver ignore the signal o the hormone insulin signaling.

 In other words, signals sent out by the hormone insulin was ignored by the cell of the muscles, body fat, and liver that process the function to convert glucose into energy.

Epidemiologically, people with insulin resistance are associated with an increased risk of prediabetes, type 2 diabetes and chronic conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, and cancer.

According to statistics, over 100 million Americans are living with insulin resistance. Approximately 1 in 3, including half of those age 60 and older have a silent blood sugar problem known as insulin resistance.

There are no single causes of insulin resistance, Epidemiologically, aging, ethnicity, overweight or obese, too much belly fat, physical inactivity, smoking and certain medical conditions such as Cushing’s disease or polycystic ovary disease are some of the prevalent factors that induce the risk of the condition.

However, most people with some of the aforementioned risk factors have never developed insulin resistance.

Most cases of insulin resistance in the Western world are involved in the clogged up insulin receptors.
As the signals of hormone insulin are blocked, insulin resistance develops, leading to more production of insulin by the body.

Over time insulin resistance that leads to damage to the beta cell in the pancreas, an early condition of prediabetes and types 2 diabetes.

The most common symptoms of patients with insulin resistance are tiredness, hunger and difficulty concentrating.

Cranberry is an evergreen dwarf shrub, genus Vaccinium, belongings to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern America and Southern Asia. Because of its health benefits, cranberry has been cultivated in some parts of the world for commercial profit and used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat wounds, urinary disorders, diarrhea, diabetes, stomach ailments, and liver problems.

On finding a potential compound for the treatment of prediabetes, researchers investigated the potential of a polyphenol-rich extract from cranberry (CE) on metabolic disorders in DIO-mice

Mice selected to the study were pre-fed either a Chow or a High Fat-High Sucrose (HFHS) diet for 13 weeks to induce obesity and then treated either with CE (200 mg/kg, Chow + CE, HFHS + CE) or vehicle (Chow, HFHS) for 8 additional weeks.

According to the tested analysis, CE did not reverse weight gain or fat mass in Chow- or HFHS-fed mice.

However, HFHS + CE fully reversed hepatic steatosis by stimulating the genes involved in lipid catabolism (e.g., PPARα) and inhibiting the production of several pro-inflammatory genes in the liver.

These results were attributed to the efficacy of HFHS + CE in the improvement of the levels of glucose tolerance and normalization of insulin sensitivity in the tested mice.

Moreover, the ratio of gut microbiota was significant to improve in the HFHS + CE group compared to HFHS controls.

Taken altogether, cranberry combined with conventional medicines may be considered a remedy for the improvement of glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
