Scientists may have found a natural alternative for the treatment of reflux esophagitis, some studies found.
Acid Reflux or heartburn is a condition characterized by the going back up of acidic stomach contents to the esophagus. Most cases of acid reflux are happened immediately after eating causing a burning sensation or pain in the lower chest area.
According to the statistics, in the US, approximately, 20% of people with acid reflux will develop gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). More than 65% of people who suffer from acid reflux are 40 years old or older. And, 15 to 30 5 of the U.S. population has GERD.
Too much tea, coffee, and alcohol smoking pregnancy, obesity, and eating habits such as eating close to bedtime, eating a large meal, and eating fatty and fried foods are some of the risk factors that initiate to the early onset of acid reflux, according to epidemiological studies.
Believe it or not, long-term intake of certain medications such as bronchodilators for asthma, progestin for birth control or to treat abnormal menstrual bleeding, sedatives for insomnia and anxiety, and calcium channel blockers for high blood pressure.
Dr. Zeynel Mungan and colleagues in examing the medication risk of GERD wrote, "Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is common in many communities, is associated with structural factors, eating habits, and the use of certain drugs".
And, "The use of such drugs can lead to the emergence of GERD and can also exacerbate existing reflux symptoms. These drugs can contribute to GERD by directly causing mucosal damage, by reducing lower esophageal sphincter pressure (LESP), or by affecting esophagogastric motility".
Therefore, if you currently taking some of the aforementioned medications, please make sure that you know all the side effects for preventive measures.
Honey is a miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers.
The rich golden liquid is considered healthy sweet food for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweetener.
Scientists finding a natural remedy for the treatment of acid reflux investigated the honey effect on reflux oesophagitis (RE).
Injection honey displayed a strong effect on reflux oesophagitis by inhibiting the free radical expression which has been found to be the mediator in the generation of RE.
Furthermore, besides inhibiting the overexpression of free radicals, honey also promoted the production of antioxidant enzymes in the host, leading to a balanced ratio of free radicals and antioxidants in the body.
Moreover, honey injection also reduced the levels of inflammation by inhibiting the nitric oxide and prostaglandin E2 production associated with free radicals and inflammation, respectively.
The effects of honey against RE are also attributed to the nature of high density, high viscosity, and low surface tension, which makes them stay longer in the esophagus as a coating on the mucous membrane.
Additionally, researchers also found that the anti-RE activity of honey was also due to its nonperoxide antibacterial activity.
The findings suggested honey inhibits the onset of progression RE through a number of mechanisms, including proteins associated with the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and antioxidant enzymes produced by the honey and the host.
Taken altogether, honey may be considered a functional remedy for the prevention and combined with the primary therapy for the treatment of reflux esophagitis.

#Broccoli and #Tomato Reduce Levels of Hormone Resistin and Increase Levels of Leptin and Adiponectin Associated with The Inhibition of Insulin Resistance
Kyle J. Norton
Insulin resistance is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes characterized by the inability of the body to use the insulin produced by the pancreas properly.
In other words, signals sent out by the hormone insulin caused by the clog-up of the insulin receptors was ignored by the cell of the muscles, body fat, and liver that process the function to convert glucose into energy.
More precisely, as the clogged-up insulin receptors ignore the signals of the hormone insulin, insulin resistance develops, leading to more production of insulin by the beta cells and over time causing permanent damage to the cells in the pancreas.
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.
A 2016 joint study led by the MSA University, suggested that tomato and broccoli extract affects glucose homeostasis in high-fat diet-induced obesity in rats by regulating the adipocyte hormone Resistin.
Broccoli is a mustard/cabbage plant, belongings to the family Brassicaceae. The vegetable has large flower heads, usually green in color and the mass of flower heads is surrounded by leaves and evolved from a wild cabbage plant on the continent of Europe.
Tomato is red, edible fruit, genus Solanum, belongs to the family Solanaceae, native to South America. Because of its health benefits, tomato is grown worldwide for commercial purposes
and often in the greenhouse.
According to the US statistics, approximately, 60 to 70 million individuals are affected by insulin resistance with 40% of individuals older than 50 years may be at risk of insulin resistance.
Believe it or not, the most common risk factors associated with insulin resistance are obesity and hypertension associated with the promotion of a high-fat diet over the past few decades.
Dr. Merat S, the lead scientist wrote, " Contrary to expectation, IR was induced in mice fed the Western diet,,,. The Western diet group had higher average glucose levels (187+/-16 versus 159+/-12 mg/dL) and 4.5-fold higher plasma insulin levels".
A total of 48 male albino rats included in the study were divided into 8 groups as follows: control, HFD, stop fat diet (SD), Tomato 200 mg/kg (T200), Tomato 400 mg/kg (T400), Broccoli 200 mg/kg (B200), Broccoli 400 mg/kg (B400), and Chromax (CX).
According to the tested differentiation after 1 month of treatment,
* Serum levels of resistin were significantly reduced in all groups treated with tomato, broccoli, and CXIn other words, T 200, T 400, B 200, B 400 and CX groups reduced levels of resistin to: 4.13 ± 0.22 ng/ml, 1.51 ± 0.04 ng/ml, 4.13 ± 0.22 ng/ml, 2.32 ± 0.15 ng/ml and 1.37 ± 0.03 ng/ml, compared to the baseline, respectively.
Where resistin is an adipocyte hormone associated with regulating glucose metabolism. Elevated levels of resistin have been found to cause insulin resistance in diabetics.
Increased levels of serum levels of leptin significantly reduced anti-elevated levels of resistin in the T 400 group compared to the B 400 and CX groups.
Additionally, serum levels of adiponectin associated with insulin resistance were significantly increased in the T 400 group (131 ± 3.84 pg/ml).
The results strongly suggested that broccoli and tomato extract inhibited the elevated levels of hormone resistin that cause insulin resistance in the high-fat-diet-induced diabetes animal model.
Based on the finding, researchers said, " tomato and broccoli extract treatment regulates glucose homeostasis via reduction of serum resistin and may be a useful non-pharmacological therapy for obesity".
Taken altogether, broccoli and tomato extract may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of insulin resistance, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Healthyfood #Honey Shows a Considerable Reduction in Diarrhea, Researchers Suggest
Kyle J. Norton
Scientists may have found a natural alternative for the treatment of diarrhea, according to studies.
Diarrhea is a condition of loose, watery stools. Acute diarrhea is a common problem in North America that lasts for a very short time.
However, chronic diarrhea can be worrisome. The most common causes of chronic diarrhea are diseases associated with the gastrointestinal tract, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), and malabsorption syndromes.
According to the statistics, acute diarrhea is one of the most common causes of death among children younger than 5 years old worldwide.
The disease is associated mostly in countries which poor environmental sanitation, inadequate water supplies, and poverty.
There are many risk factors involved in the onset of the syndrome, including demography, socio-economy, poor water supply, poor sanitation, poor hygiene practices, breastfeeding, and malnutrition.
Some researchers suggested that a severely weakened immune system such as the use of immune-suppressive medicine and the elderly may also be at a higher risk of diarrhea.
Dr. Bouchaud O in examing the risk of immune deficiency and diarrhea wrote, "With a prevalence of approximatively 50%, diarrhea is a frequent event in an immune deficiency of any cause".
And "Gram-negative infections and Clostridium difficile colitis have to be diagnosed because efficient treatment is available. In these patients usually in bad general condition, because diarrhea is often of unknown etiology or noncurable, the diagnostic and therapeutic strategy has to be pragmatic in order to control the symptoms without an excess of invasive procedures".
These results clearly suggested that if you have a severely weakened immune system, you are at higher risk of bacterial-infected diarrhea.
Honey is a miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers.
The rich golden liquid is considered one healthy sweet food for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweetener many people.
Researchers searching for a natural compound for the treatment of diarrhea evaluated the honey gastroprotective effect against diarrhea.
Injection of honey induced a significant reduction in the duration of bacterial diarrhea, and it worked well as a substitute for glucose in an oral rehydration solution containing electrolytes.
In nonbacterial gastroenteritis, honey exerted a similar effect as glucose on the duration of diarrhea.
In an array of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, most pathogenic bacteria failed to grow in honey at a concentration of 40% and above, similar to those studies of honey on Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirabilis, and Candida albicans failed to grow in the presence of undiluted honey in vitro experiments.
Honey-agar all intestinal bacterial pathogens failed to grow at a concentration of 40% and above of pure honey, compared to those of bacteria in control plates and different growth media.
Scientists wrote in the final report, "Findings from studies on honey have thus shown that when given with an ORS it shortens the duration of bacterial diarrhea and may safely be used as a substitute for glucose, provided that the solution contains electrolytes".
In order to reveal more information about honey anti-diarrhea activity, researchers examined the honey on diarrhea and fecal microbiota in critically ill patients.
The double-blind, randomized controlled single-center study, included 32 patients randomly selected to receive a high protein kitchen enteral diet or honey as 10% of their carbohydrate intake.
The treatment group showed an insignificant increase in the frequency of bifidobacterium DNA by study day 7 in comparison with the control group and a considerable reduction in diarrhea.
The honey group also reduced the length of the Intensive Care Unit and the development of organ failure in critically ill patients.
Taken altogether, honey may be considered a functional remedy for the prevention and treatment of diarrhea, pending the confirmation of a large sample size and multicenter human study.

#CranberryJuices Improve MetabolicSyndrome without Affecting the Production of Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
Homocysteine produced in the bloodstream is a common amino acid in the blood from eating meat.
High levels of homocysteine in the blood have increased the risk of heart disease and stroke.
In other words, homocysteine-induced atherosclerosis by causing arterial damage, leading to the accumulation and formation of plaque and blood clots.
Believe it or not, overexpression of homocysteine accompanied by the low levels of vitamins B6, B12, and folate, also have been found in some patients with renal disease.
Dr. Bradley A. Maron, the lead scientist in the examination of the disease associated with hyperhomocysteinemia wrote, "The unique biochemical profile of homocysteine is characterized by chemical reactivity supporting a wide range of molecular effects, and a tendency to promote oxidant stress-induced cellular toxicity".
And, "Numerous epidemiological reports have established hyperhomocysteinemia as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, dementia-type disorders, and osteoporosis-associated fractures".
Adiponectin is a type of protein associated with the function that regulates glucose levels and fatty acid breakdown.
The protein also plays a critical role in the development of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. Low levels of adiponectin levels increase the risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
In type 2 diabetes, administration of adiponectin not lowers plasma glucose levels but also increases insulin sensitivity.
More precisely, in patients with type 2 diabetes, increased levels of adiponectin involved in the enhancement of insulin sensitivity were attributed to the increase of fatty acid oxidation and inhibition of hepatic glucose production.
Dr. Lihn AS in examing the effects of administration of adiponectin in type 2 diabetes wrote, "Adiponectin in addition to possible anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic effects appears to be an insulin enhancer, with potential as a new pharmacologic treatment modality of the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes".
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.
In finding a potential compound for the inhibition of cardiovascular risk factors, researchers examined the effects of cranberry juice concomitantly on homocysteine and adiponectin levels in patients with the MetS.
The study included a total of 36 individuals with the MetS divided into two groups: the control group (n 36) and cranberry-treated group(n 20) received cranberry juice (0·7 liters/d) containing 0·4mg folic acid for 60 days.
According to tested analysis, the cranberry-treated group showed an increase in adiponectin involved in regulating glucose levels as well as fatty acid breakdown and a decrease in homocysteine associated with a risk for heart disease comapred to baseline values and the controls.
However, the cranberry-treated group improved MetS without affecting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-a, IL-1, and IL-6.
According to the measurement of oxidative stress, the cranberry-treated group also showed decreased lipoperoxidation and protein oxidation levels, compared to the control group.
The results strongly suggested that chronic consumption of cranberry juice for 60 d improves some cardiovascular risk factors.
Based on the findings, researchers concluded. "The present data reinforce the importance of the inverse association between homocysteine and adiponectin and the need for more specifically designed studies on MetS patients.".
Taken altogether, cranberry may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of MetS, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Based on the findings, researchers concluded. "The present data reinforce the importance of the inverse association between homocysteine and adiponectin and the need for more specifically designed studies on MetS patients.".
Taken altogether, cranberry may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of MetS, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Herbal #Angelica Inhibits Stress-Markers Associated with the Promotion of #Neurophysiology in the Brain, Researchers Say
Kyle J. Norton
A neuroprotective effect is an event that protects the central nervous system (CNS) by relatively preserving the neuronal structure and/or function.
Neurological diseases are the medical conditions of CNS disorders. Anything that involves structural, biochemical, or electrical abnormalities in the brain, spinal cord, or other nerves, including brain damage is considered as neuro disease.
The most common neurodegenerative diseases in the elderly are dementia. Depending on the brain regions that are damaged or dysfunctional, dementia can be Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and Huntington's disease.
There are many risk factors involved in the incidence of neurological disorders, including unhealthy lifestyle, infections, genetic preposition, and physical injury.
Genetic mutation inherited from parents such as the NOTCH3 gene is the most common autosomal dominant inherited that causes stroke and vascular dementia.
Oxidative stress is a result of an imbalance of the ratio of levels of free radicals and antioxidants caused either by overexpression of free radicals or depletion of antioxidant enzymes or both.
Free radicals can be produced internally by normal cellular metabolism or from external sources such as the air we breathe, smoking. Free radicals are unstable molecules with unpaired electrons on the outer ring.
In order for them to maintain stability, free radicals must either donate an electron or intercept an electron from other atoms, leading to a chain reaction that can not be stopped until the outer ring electron is paired or inhibited by antioxidants.
Oxidative stress has been found to be a major risk for the onset of neurological disorders in the Western world, particularly in North America.
Angelica or Dang Qui is a herb of Genus Angelica from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China.
The herb has been used as a Queen herb in traditional Chinese medicine antispasmodic and vasodilatory agent, and to balance the hormones in women for a normal menstrual cycle and menstruation and strengthen the heart, spleen, kidneys, and liver for both men and women, etc. In other words, it is used to treat gynecological ailments, fatigue, mild anemia, and high blood pressure. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, etc.
In finding a natural compound for the treatment of neurological diseases, the researchers examined the effects of Ligustilide (LIG) a principal active ingredient of Radix Angelica Sinensis on neuroprotective activity/
The aging model mice induced by subcutaneous (S.C.) injection of d-gal once daily for 8 weeks followed by LIG (80 mg/kg) were simultaneously administered orally.
Based on the experimental results,* LIG administration markedly improved the behavioral performance of d-gal-treated mice.
* LIG reduced the level of neuron stress markers MDA and increased the activity of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase in the promotion of neurophysiology in the brain of d-gal-induced aging mice.
* Moreover, LIG significantly raised the expression of GAP-43 associated with the development and axonal regeneration and reduced cleaved caspase-3 to promote cell death and GFAP levels in brain injury in the brain of d-gal-treated mice.
Collectively, researchers said, "These results demonstrated that LIG improves d-gal-induced cognitive dysfunction and brain toxicity, which suggests that LIG may be developed as a new medicine for the treatment of age-related conditions".
Taken together, Herbal Angelica may be considered a neuroprotective remedy, pending a larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Cranberry #Extract Does Not Improve Urinary Disorder and Quality of Life in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
Urinary incontinence, a medical, psychological, social, economic, and hygienic problem, is a condition of loss of the bladder to control that can lead to a mild or severe form of involuntary leakage of urine.
Involuntary urine leakage or urinary incontinence is frequent among elderly women, adult women, and even adolescent women.
According to the statistics provided by Phoenix Physical Therapy, approximately 25 million adult Americans are living with some form of urinary incontinence of which 75-80% are women.
Believe it or not, about 17% of women and 16% of men over 18 years old have overactive bladder(OAB), and an estimated 12.2 million adults have urge incontinence.
All types of urinary incontinence have been found to have a negative impact on the quality of life and daily activity.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) caused by the immune system attacking the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers.
MS causes communication problems between the brain and the rest of the body.
SHARON BEGLEY in examing the genetic preposition involved in MS wrote, " A newly discovered genetic mutation gives people who carry it a whopping 70 percent chance of developing multiple sclerosis, potentially opening the way toward new therapies for a debilitating neurological disorder whose ultimate cause has stumped researchers for decades".
The author continued, "The 70 percent chance of developing MS compares to a 0.1 percent risk in the general population, and the 100 or so previously known genetic variants increase the chance of MS to only about 0.3 percent at most, with no single gene packing much of a punch".
In other words, people having certain genes inherited from their parents are at a substantial risk of MS developing comapred to people who do not.
According to the statistics, in 2010/2011, approximately 93,500 Canadians were diagnosed with the disease, or 290 cases per 100,000 population. Believe it or not, MS is the most prevalent in Canada comapred to other parts of the world.
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 improvement of the quality of life in cancer patients, researchers examined cranberry extract in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients suffering from urinary disorders.
The cranberry versus placebo, prospective, double-blind study included a total of 171 adult MS outpatients with urinary disorders presenting at eight centers randomized to cranberry extract (36 mg proanthocyanidins per day) or matching placebo received twice daily for 1 year.
According to the results at follow-up, there was no difference between cranberry and placebo.
Furthermore, there was no difference in time to the first symptomatic UTI distribution across 1 year, with an estimated hazard ratio of 0.99, 95% CI [0.61, 1.60] (p = 0.97).
Moreover, secondary endpoints and tolerance did not differ between groups.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "Taking cranberry extract versus placebo twice a day did not prevent UTI occurrence in MS patients with urinary disorders".
Taken together, cranberry does not improve urinary disorders in patients with MS, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Herbal #Turmeric's #Curcumin Improves the Function of Glucose and Lipid Metabolism in Type 2 Diabetes, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
Type II diabetes is an acquired chronic and medical condition caused by insufficiency of insulin entering the bloodstream, leading to abnormally high blood glucose.
In other words, type II diabetes developing is due to the pancreas not producing enough insulin caused by the loss of beta cells or the body does not properly use the insulin it makes as a result of insulin receptor sites clogged up by fat or cholesterol.
Although type II diabetes is a disease associated with adult-onset, today, the condition has been diagnosed in children at an alarming rate due to childhood obesity.
The most common symptoms of type II diabetes are increased thirst, frequent urination, unintended weight loss, and fatigue.
In severe cases, patients with type II diabetes also experience symptoms of slow-healing sores, frequent infections, and blurred vision.
Untreated type II diabetes may induce complications of diabetic retinopathy, kidney disease (nephropathy), diabetic neuropathy, and macrovascular problems.
As of today, there is no single cause and cure for type 2 diabetes. However, researchers suggested overweight, family history, aging, race, and medical conditions of prediabetes and gestational diabetes are some prevalent factors associated with the increased risk of the disease.c
Some researchers suggested that type 2 diabetes may be correlated to the promotion of the Western diet over the past few decades.
Dr. David Hefner in the article "Western Diet Linked to Type 2 Diabetes", wrote, "The typical Western diet-red meat, high-fat dairy products, refined grains, and desserts-may increase your chances for Type 2 diabetes".
And, "The news isn't particularly shocking but offers a new view on the health risks of a typical Western diet as a whole, rather than simply attacking elements within the diet such as fatty foods".
In other words, if you are following a high-fat diet, you are at a higher risk of type II diabetes. is
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as an anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
In the urgency to find a potential ingredient for the treatment of diabetes, researchers examined the effect of Curcumin (CUR; diferuloylmethane) in the increased oxidative stress and the proinflammatory state that contributes to the development and progression of the disease.
Oxidative stress is an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their clearance by antioxidant defense mechanisms.
Curcumin improved the function of hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism which was dysfunctioned in patients with T2DM.
In vitro, curcumin was found to induce the liver protective effect in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism.
Furthermore, curcumin exerted antidiabetic potential by ameliorating skeletal muscle insulin resistance in rodents with diet-induced insulin resistance via an increase in the uptake and oxidation of fatty acids.
Moreover, curcumin was also found to improve insulin sensitivity in muscle tissue of insulin-resistant rodents by an increase of the cellular glucose uptake by enhancing the GLUT4 translocation.
In adipose tissue analysis, curcumin protected the adipose tissue function, by protecting the normal adipokine production, FFA release, and preventing inflammation, which is associated with the pathogenesis of T2DM.
In pancreatic β-cells differentiation, curcumin enhanced the pancreatic β-cell function under diabetic conditions.
In metabolic dysfunction, curcumin improved the glycemic status and insulin sensitivity demonstrated in high-fat-diet- (HFD-) fed C57BL/6J mice and C57BL/6J ob/ob mice.
More recently, curcumin exerted a positive effect of CUR on metabolic abnormalities associated with T2DM have been confirmed in high-fructose-fed Wistar rats by attenuating insulin resistance and glucose intolerance through its antioxidative and anti-inflammatory actions
Taken together, turmeric processed with a high amount of bioactive compound curcumin may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of type II diabetes, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of turmeric in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
