Beet may be a potential functional food for reduced risk and treatment of pharynx cancer, a recent study suggested
Pharynx cancer is a medical condition of abnormal cell growth in the pharynx region, including the nasopharynx, hypopharynx, and pharyngeal areas. In the late stage, the cancerous cells may travel a distance away to infect other healthy tissues.
Beet, best known as the beetroot or garden beet is a perennial plant with leafy stems growing to 1–2 m tall, belonging to the amaranth family.
According to the joint study led by Vels University, the Phyto-synthetic method of producing silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) may be used as a mediator of beetroot in the enhanced treatment of patients with pharynx cancer.
In the pharynx cancer cell line, the silver nanoparticles enhanced by the beetroot effect through induction of cytotoxicity to cause cell death, without harming the nearby healthy cells.
Silver nanoparticles are used to enhance the function of biological treatment alone or combined with other pharmaceutical substances.
Measured by MTT assay, the inhibition efficacy may depend on the higher concentration proportionally of the photosynthetic substance.
AO/EtBr staining observations also found that Ag-NPs exhibited a mechanism of cell death probably through the depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential caused by depletion of energy in induced cell proliferation, subsequently, in cell apoptosis.
In fact, according to the World Cancer Research Foundation report, strong evidence suggested that vegetables with high nitrate-containing such as beet may have a potential therapeutic effect in reduced risk and treatment of various cancers, including cancer of the pharynx.
Unfortunately, beet juice with a high amount of nitrate may associate with gastric cancer risk according to the review of literature of a total of 22 articles consisting of 49 studies—19 studies for nitrates, 19 studies for nitrites, and 11 studies for N-nitroso dimethylamine (NDMA).
Further analysis, discovered that high nitrates intake was associated with a weak but statistically significant reduced risk of gastric cancer, and increased consumption of nitrites and N-nitrosodimethylamine, NDMA may elevate the risk factors for gastric cancer.
But after taking account of other confounders, the risk of gastric cancer is not attributed to the intake of nitrate but to nitrate beverages with N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) contamination.
Taken together, beet and beet juice with a high concentration of nitrate may be used as a functional food to ameliorate the risk and treatment of pharynx cancer, but people with stomach ailment should avoid drinking any nitrate beverage with N-nitroso dimethylamine (NDMA) contamination.

#Herbal #Bilberry Inhibits the Serum Lipids and Lipoproteins Associated with #CardiometabolicRisk Factors, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
In seeking natural therapy with no side effects, scientists may have a whole fruit for the inhibition of cardiometabolic risk factors (CRFs) associated with the onset of cardiovascular disease,, according to studies.
Cardiovascular disease is a class of diseases involving the blood vessels and heart, depending on the location or area that has been affected.
Cardiometabolic risk factors (CRFs) are conditions that cause damage to the heart and blood vessels. Some researchers suggested that cardiometabolic risk factors are a cluster of conditions that causes the onset of diabetes, heart disease, or stroke.
Cardiometabolic risk factors can be classified into preventable and nonpreventable risks
* Preventable risk factors can be lowered by making a change of lifestyle such as following a healthy diet, quitting smoking, losing weight, and exercising daily and moderately.
According to epidemiological studies, a healthy lifestyle has been found to reduce risks of metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions associated with the cardiometabolic risk, including lower high blood sugar, cholesterol, and pressure.
* Nonpreventable risks are the risk that cannot be changed including aging, ethnicity, family history, medical condition,...
Out of a number of risk factors, some researchers suggested that prevalent obesity may be the major culprit that causes the onset of diabetes and cardiovascular disease in the Western world.
According to the data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "Among participants with overweight (52.5% of the sample), 18.6% had none of the 4 CRFs. Among the 47.5% of participants with obesity, 9.6% had none; among participants with morbid obesity, 5.8% had none. Age was strongly associated with CRFs in multivariable analysis".
The results are according to the measurement of elevated blood pressure (systolic ≥130 mm Hg or diastolic >85 mm Hg or ICD-9-CM [International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification] diagnosis code 401.0–405.9); elevated triglycerides (≥150 mg/dL or ICD-9-CM 272.1); low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (<40 mg/dL for men or <50 mg/dL for women or ICD-9-CM 272.5); and prediabetes (fasting glucose 100–125 mg/dL or HbA1c 5.7%–6.4% or ICD-9-CM 790.2x).
The results strongly suggested if you are overweight or obese, you are at an increased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease compared to those who do not.
Bilberry is a species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern Europe.
The plant berry has been used as herbs in traditional medicine for the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea, gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, ulcerative colitis, anemia, cystitis, kidney disease, psoriasis, diabetes, etc.
With an aim to find a natural whole food for the inhibition of cardiometabolic risk factors that increase the risk of CVD and diabetes, researchers examined the effect of baseline metabolome on the overall metabolic responses to berry intake.
The study included 80 overweight women who completed the randomized crossover study randomly assigned to consume dried sea buckthorn berries (SBs), sea buckthorn oil (SBo), sea buckthorn phenolics ethanol extract mixed with maltodextrin (SBe+MD) (1:1), or frozen bilberries for 30 days.
By comparing the metabolic profile that reflected higher cardiometabolic risk(group B) at baseline, and participants who had a lower-risk profile (group A), researchers showed that bilberries caused beneficial changes in serum lipids and lipoproteins in group B, whereas the opposite was true in group A.
In other words, bilberry exerted a protective effect against people with cardiometabolic risk without causing harm to people with lower risk profiles.
In order to reveal more information about bilberry inhibition of cardiovascular risk factors researchers investigated regular consumption of bilberries effects on CVD risk reduction, such as decreasing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglycerides (TGs) and increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).
The study involved women (n=25) and men (n=11) who consumed 150 g of frozen stored bilberries 3 times a week for 6 weeks.
During the experiment, the consumption of bilberries led to a decrease in total cholesterol, LDL-C, TG, glucose, albumin, γ-glutamyltransferase, and a positive increase in HDL-C (P=.044). In both women and men.
However, in men, additionally, favorable changes were observed in total cholesterol, glucose, albumin, aspartate aminotransferase, γ-glutamyltransferase, and HDL-C.
Dr. the lead scientist said, "the regular intake of bilberries can be important to reduce CVD risk, by decreasing LDL-C/TG and increasing HDL-C".
Taken altogether, bilberry may be considered a functioning remedy for the inhibition of cardiometabolic risk factors and prevention of CVD, pending the validation of a larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Asparagus Extract Exhibits Hypoglycaemic and Hypotriglyceridaemic Effects on #Diabetes, Scientists Say
Kyle J. Norton
Asparagus may have a potential and profound effect in reducing the risk of diabetes in patients with no diabetes and diabetic complications in patients with diabetes, some studies suggested.
Diabetes is a condition characterized by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate glucose.
The actual causes of diabetes are debatable. As researchers do not know why some people without genetic mutations are susceptible to disease development, while others do not.
Researchers believed that the onset of diabetes type 2 is associated with a set of risk factors. According to the retrospective cohort study, using the data of 8337 adolescent respondents from Add Health (1994-2008) including 5131 non-Hispanic Whites, 1651 non-Hispanic Blacks, 1223 Hispanics, and 332 American Indians/Alaska Natives led by College of Medicine, Washington State University,
* Pre-diabetes and diabetes were more prevalent in non-Hispanic blacks (55% and 12%, respectively) than in American Indians/Alaska Natives (43% and 11%),
* Higher body mass index and family history of diabetes were associated with a higher risk of pre-diabetes and diabetes.
* Female sex was associated with a lower risk of pre-diabetes compared to male counterparts.
Furthermore
* Physical inactivity, sedentary behaviors, or fast food consumption are associated with independent and preventive risk factors that induce the early onset of prediabetes and diabetes.
Most people with prediabetes do not experience any symptoms. However, untreated diabetes or diabetes that do not manage properly, may lead to serious complications of cardiovascular diseases, kidney damage, nerve, foot, and eye damage, skin wounds that can heal,....... and dementia such as Alzheimer's disease.
Asparagus is a flowering plant belonging to species the genus Asparagus, native to the western coasts of northern Spain, north to Ireland, Great Britain, northwest Germany, northern Africa, and western Asia.
The vegetable has been used from early times as a vegetable and medicine, because of its delicate flavor and diuretic properties.
In Streptozotocin (90 mg/kg) injected in 2-d-old Wistar rat pups to induce non-obese type 2 diabetes, researchers found that rats treated with a methanolic extract of A. officinalis seeds (250 and 500 mg/kg per d) expressed lowering fasting blood glucose, improved serum insulin, total antioxidant status and qualitative and quantitative in β-cell function(1) compared to a placebo group.
Additional observation also discovered that the methanolic extract also exerts a significant effect in reducing complications of kidney disease by inhibiting renal hypertrophy, polyuria, hyperfiltration, microalbuminuria, and abnormal changes in the renal tissue(1).
Furthermore, asparagus extract enhanced the production of antioxidants from the host in neutralizing the unbalanced ratio of antioxidants and free radicals in initiated oxidative stress(1) induced by the injection of Streptozotocin (90 mg/kg) effectively.
Moreover, according to the study by Smt. Kashibai Navale College of Pharmacy, oral administration of ethanolic extract of Asparagus racemosus (EEAR) at a dose level of 100 and 250 mg/kg daily for 4 weeks, significantly reduced the expression of streptozotocin-induced early diabetic nephropathy in compared with a control group(2).
Dr. Somania R, the lead researcher said, " A. racemosus treatment significantly decreased plasma glucose, creatinine, ..... total cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Renal hypertrophy,....and abnormal changes in the renal tissue".
This efficacy can be attributed to the extract's anti-diabetic effects by improving insulin secretion and β-cell function(2).
Interestingly, the 21 days continuous administration of aqueous extract of asparagus by-product (AEA) to examine the hypoglycaemic effect in a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat model indicated(3), found
* Rat treated with the extract showed decreased fasting serum glucose and triglyceride levels but markedly increased body weight and hepatic glycogen level.
* In an oral glucose tolerance test, both the blood glucose level measured at 30, 60, and 120 min after glucose loading and the area under the glucose curve showed a significant decrease after AEA treatment.
* The extract also exhibited hypoglycaemic and hypotriglyceridaemic effects in preventing diabetic complications associated with hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia (3).
Taking it all together, there is no doubt that many aspects have contributed to the effectiveness of asparagus in reducing the risk of diabetic complications and treatment of diabetes, but a large amount of asparagus extract intake should only be prescribed by related field specialists.
However, further data collection on large example size and multi centers clinical studies and trials performed with human consumption of whole food during the course of the disease will be necessary to complete the picture of asparagus anti-diabetes possibilities.

#Tomatoes Improve the Anti-Inflammatory Activity Against the Lung Injury Caused by Breathing Hyperoxic Gas
Kyle J. Norton
Pulmonary diseases are a class of diseases associated with the lungs, including asthma, COPD, influenza, pneumonia and tuberculosis, and lung cancer.
In other words, any diseases involved in breathing problems that reduce the function of the lung are pulmonary diseases.
The most common pulmonary diseases are
* Asthma
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the airway of the lung with recurring symptoms, such as wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. The disease affects people of all ages and mostly starts during childhood.
* Pneumothorax
Pneumothorax is a condition of collection of air within the pleural cavity, from either the outside or from the lung.
* Bronchitis
Bronchitis is a condition of an inflammation of the mucous membranes of the bronchi, the larger and medium-sized airways that carry airflow from the trachea into the lung parenchyma.
* COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)** Emphysema is a type of COPD with a long-term and progressive condition that causes shortness of breath, depending on the stage of lung function associated with the damage of tissues of the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs.
** Chronic bronchitis
Chronic bronchitis is a chronic inflammation of the lung’s bronchi that cause the increased production of mucus in the lung associated with difficulty of breathing.
*Lung cancer is a condition of the abnormal growth of the cells in the lung's tissue. The most common form of primary lung cancer are derived from epithelial cells
* PneumoniaPneumonia is a condition of the inflammation of the lung caused by bacteria, such as bacterial infection, Streptococcus pneumonia, or influenza viruses in most cases.
* Pulmonary edema
Pulmonary edema is a condition of fluid accumulation in the air spaces and parenchyma of the lungs that lead to difficulty breathing and respiratory failure.
Tomato is a red, edible fruit, genus Solanum, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to South America. Because of its health benefits, the tomato is grown worldwide for the commercial purpose
and often in the greenhouse.
With an aim to find a potential ingredient for the treatment of pulmonary disease, researchers examined the dietary supplementation of tomato juice, TJ protection against the developing lung injury caused by breathing hyperoxic gas.
Neonatal mice (C57BL6/J) breathed either 65% O2 (hyperoxia) or room air from birth until postnatal day 7 (P7d)selected for the study underwent necropsy at P7d or raised in room air until adulthood (P56d). In a subset of both groups, drinking water was replaced with TJ (diluted 50:50 in water) from late gestation to necropsy.
In P7d, TJ injection increased pulmonary total antioxidants (TAC) and COL1α1 expression associated with pulmonary fibrosis and attenuated the hyperoxia-induced increase in production ROS without affecting the changes in lung structure.
Furthermore, in P56d, TJ increased TAC, decreased oxidative stress, and reversed the hyperoxia-induced increase in bronchiolar smooth muscle by ameliorating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "TJ supplementation during and after neonatal exposure to hyperoxia protects the lung from some but not all aspects of hyperoxia-induced injury".
In other words, TJ protects the lung against injury by stimulating the expression of the circulation of antioxidant concentration.
Taken together, tomatoes may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of pulmonary diseases, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of lycopene in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Pulmonary diseases are a class of diseases associated with the lungs, including asthma, COPD, influenza, pneumonia and tuberculosis, and lung cancer.
In other words, any diseases involved in breathing problems that reduce the function of the lung are pulmonary diseases.
The most common pulmonary diseases are
* Asthma
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the airway of the lung with recurring symptoms, such as wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. The disease affects people of all ages and mostly starts during childhood.
* Pneumothorax
Pneumothorax is a condition of collection of air within the pleural cavity, from either the outside or from the lung.
* Bronchitis
Bronchitis is a condition of an inflammation of the mucous membranes of the bronchi, the larger and medium-sized airways that carry airflow from the trachea into the lung parenchyma.
* COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)** Emphysema is a type of COPD with a long-term and progressive condition that causes shortness of breath, depending on the stage of lung function associated with the damage of tissues of the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs.
** Chronic bronchitis
Chronic bronchitis is a chronic inflammation of the lung’s bronchi that cause the increased production of mucus in the lung associated with difficulty of breathing.
*Lung cancer is a condition of the abnormal growth of the cells in the lung's tissue. The most common form of primary lung cancer are derived from epithelial cells
* PneumoniaPneumonia is a condition of the inflammation of the lung caused by bacteria, such as bacterial infection, Streptococcus pneumonia, or influenza viruses in most cases.
* Pulmonary edema
Pulmonary edema is a condition of fluid accumulation in the air spaces and parenchyma of the lungs that lead to difficulty breathing and respiratory failure.
Tomato is a red, edible fruit, genus Solanum, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to South America. Because of its health benefits, the tomato is grown worldwide for the commercial purpose
and often in the greenhouse.
With an aim to find a potential ingredient for the treatment of pulmonary disease, researchers examined the dietary supplementation of tomato juice, TJ protection against the developing lung injury caused by breathing hyperoxic gas.
Neonatal mice (C57BL6/J) breathed either 65% O2 (hyperoxia) or room air from birth until postnatal day 7 (P7d)selected for the study underwent necropsy at P7d or raised in room air until adulthood (P56d). In a subset of both groups, drinking water was replaced with TJ (diluted 50:50 in water) from late gestation to necropsy.
In P7d, TJ injection increased pulmonary total antioxidants (TAC) and COL1α1 expression associated with pulmonary fibrosis and attenuated the hyperoxia-induced increase in production ROS without affecting the changes in lung structure.
Furthermore, in P56d, TJ increased TAC, decreased oxidative stress, and reversed the hyperoxia-induced increase in bronchiolar smooth muscle by ameliorating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "TJ supplementation during and after neonatal exposure to hyperoxia protects the lung from some but not all aspects of hyperoxia-induced injury".
In other words, TJ protects the lung against injury by stimulating the expression of the circulation of antioxidant concentration.
Taken together, tomatoes may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of pulmonary diseases, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of lycopene in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

#Herbal #TurmericExtracts Inhibit #Psychiatric Overtones and Proteins Assoviated with the Death of Neurons, Reserachers Find
Kyle J. Norton
Scientists may have found a herbal spice that processed bioactive ingredients for the treatment of neuro-disorder with no side effects, according to studies.
Neuroprotection is an action involved in the use of a natural substance to protect the integrity and viability of neurons against damage or death.
Neurodegenerative diseases are a class of conditions associated with the progressive loss of neurons in the brain caused by several mechanisms, including toxicity and oxygen deficiency.
The most common disease associated with neurodegenerative diseases is dementia, a cluster of conditions including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Huntington’s disease.
The disease has been found to negatively influence the body's functioning, including balance, movement, talking, breathing, and heart function.
There are many risk factors that cause the onset of the progressive death of brain neurons. Genetic preposition, medical condition, such as alcoholism, brain cancer, or a stroke in the brain.
A prolonged period of toxins and toxic chemicals accumulated that affect brain function also has a strong impact to induce the onset of the disease.
Out of many factors, some researchers suggested that the prevalence of obesity may process some negative implications in stimulating the rise of neurodegenerative disease in older adults in the Western world.
Dr. Daniel Shalev, the lead scientist wrote, "So how does obesity or diabetes contribute to a 50% increase in the risk of dementia?".
And, "Many of the same processes that affect coronary arteries and visceral organs also impact the brain. Inflammation leads to the activation of microglia and astrocytes. This causes the release of cytokines and reactive oxidants, ultimately leading to neuronal dysfunction or death. Critically, this process can unleash a vicious cycle: dying neurons can cause more inflammation, thereby creating a cascade of neurodegeneration".
The findings strongly suggested if you are obese, your risk of dementia is substantially higher compared to non-obese individuals.
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, and wound healing agent, and for the treatment of flatulence, bloating, appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
With an aim to find a natural compound that processes neuroprotective activity, researchers evaluated the neuroprotective effects of extracts from the radix of C. aromatica (ECAs, Turmeric) on free radical damage cells.
The study included the model of oxidative stress damage (H2O2-damaged PC12 cells) induced by injection of 400 µM H2O2.
Compared to ECAs at the same doses, 95% EtOH extract (HCECA) and 75% EtOH extract (MCECA) from turmeric showed markedly the increase in the rate of neuron survival and enhancement of the antioxidant enzyme activities via the inhibition of the level of ROS.
In other words, 95% EtOH extract (HCECA) and 75% EtOH extract (MCECA) from turmeric exerted better neuron-protective and antioxidant activity than of ECAs.
Furthermore, the 95% EtOH extract (HCECA) and 75% EtOH extract (MCECA) also attenuated the intracellular Ca2+ overloading in the induction of psychiatric overtones, such as depression, anxiety, cognitive dysfunction and decreased the activation of proteins and matrixes involved cell apoptosis, similar to those of ECAs.
The efficacy of the 95% EtOH extract (HCECA) and 75% EtOH extract (MCECA) against the degeneration of neurons was attributed to the presence of the active compound diarylheptanoids.
Based on the finding, researchers wrote, "These findings indicated that the effects of HCECA and MCECA on inhibiting the cells damage induced by H2O2 in PC12 are better than other extracts from the radix of C. aromatica".
In order to reveal more information about turmeric neuroprotective effects, researchers evaluated the effects of curcumin against nicotine-induced apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation in an animal model.
This study included 60 adult male rats divided randomly into six groups. Group 1 received 0.7 ml/rat normal saline, and group 2 received 6 mg/kg nicotine. Groups 3, 4, 5, and 6 were treated concurrently with nicotine (6 mg/kg) and curcumin (10, 20, 40, and 60 mg/kg i.p. respectively) for 21 days.
According to the Open Field Test (OFT), curcumin-treated groups (40 and 60 mg/kg) reduced nicotine-induced motor activity disturbances.
Before the injection of curcumin nicotine treatment showed the increase of lipid peroxidation observed by the overexpression of ROS, proinflammatory cytokines, and protein associated with neuron apoptosis in the hippocampus.
Furthermore, nicotine also reduced the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the tested rats in the hippocampus.
Injection of curcumin reversed all alternation by attenuating nicotine-induced apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation; and elevating the levels of P-CREB and BDNF associated with the improvement of cognitive function,
Taken altogether, turmeric and its bioactive compounds, particularly curcumin may be considered a supplement for the protection of neuron integrity, 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.

#Coffee Caffeine Improves Alertness, Rapid Reaction and Cognitive and Information Processing Capacity in Healthy Individuals
Kyle J. Norton
Intake of coffee caffeine may have a potential effect in enhance alertness and rapid reaction, a renowned institute study suggested.
Coffee, second to tea, is a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, made from roasted beans from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.
In randomized, double-blind, parallel groups designed to rate anxiety, alertness, and headache before and after 100 mg caffeine and again after another 150 mg caffeine given 90 min later, or after a placebo on both occasions, researchers indicated that caffeine intake expressed a clean effect in elevated alertness in compared to placebo.
Further differentiation also found that caffeine did not increase alertness in low caffeine intake participants, and noncaffeine administrated to medium and high intake groups displayed a reduced alertness effect and caffeine abstinence reduced alertness and consumption in comparison to baseline.
Other, in the study of 30 healthy volunteers received equal volume drinks equivalent to either 1 or 2 cups of tea (containing 37.5 mg or 75 mg caffeine), or coffee (75 mg or 150 mg caffeine), or water, in a randomized five-way crossover design with drinks administered on four occasions during the day (0900, 1300, 1700 and 2300 hours), researchers found that there was no difference in all group in expression of alertness, but following the second beverage caffeinated coffee at 75 mg, there was a significantly improved reaction time (P<0.05), in compared to tea at the same dose and placebo.
Dr. Hindmarch I, the lead author said, " ingestion of caffeinated beverages may maintain aspects of cognitive and psychomotor performance throughout the day and evening when caffeinated beverages are administered repeatedly" and "This study also demonstrates that day-long tea consumption produces similar alerting effects to coffee, despite lower caffeine levels".
More importantly, in a total of 19 healthy volunteers ingested 400 ml black tea, coffee, caffeinated water, decaffeinated tea or plain water on three occasions through the day (0900, 1400, and 1900 hours), researchers filed the following reports
1. Caffeine ingestion was associated with a rapid (10 min) and persistent improvement of alertness and again independent of time of day, but did not acutely alter CFF threshold.
2. In comparison to the caffeine consumed group, water, and the decaffeinated group expressed a steady decline in alertness (LARS) and cognitive capacity over the whole day.
3. Tea and coffee were similar on all measures, including alertness
4. Tea and coffee ingestion was associated with rapid increases in alertness and information processing capacity if the tea was drunk throughout the day, compared to other groups.
Taking it all together, there is no doubt that coffee intake has an enormous and profound effect on improved alertness and rapid reaction if drinking throughout the day, but reduced intake or absence of coffee caffeine may cause the opposite effect.

#Curcumolide, Found in #Herbal #Turmeric Processes Alleviating Retinal Inflammatory Activities, Researchers Say
Kyle J. Norton
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the diabetes complications caused by long-term uncontrol levels of blood glucose in patients with diabetes, leading to vision loss.
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is swelling in an area of the retinal macula, a consequence of diabetic retinopathy.
Cause of diabetic retinopathy is a result of unmanageable high blood sugar from diabetes associated with damage to the tiny blood vessels in the retina.
Other eye diseases often found in patients with uncontrol blood glucose are
* Cataract, a condition of clouding of the eye’s lens.
Believe it or not, patients with diabetes are 2-5 times more likely to develop cataracts compared to a healthy individual.
* Glaucoma, a group of diseases that damage the eye’s optic nerve that connects the eye to the brain. Diabetic has nearly doubled the risk of glaucoma, compared to nondiabetics.
At the early stage of hyperglycemia, most patients are asymptomatic. However, at the later stage, the condition affects vision caused bt eh bleeding from abnormal retinal blood vessels.
Conventionally, diabetic retinopathy diagnosed and treated early was found to reduce diabetic retinopathy risk by 95%. However, late-stage diabetic retinopathy may cause irreversible vision loss.
Please make sure you have eye exams more frequently for preventive measures.
By managing your blood glucose by changing your lifestyle with moderate exercise and taking your medication as direct diabetic retinopathy may be preventable.
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 antioxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, and wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
In the urgency to find a potential ingredient for the prevention of diabetic complications, researchers examined the effect of curcumin, an active ingredient of turmeric on diabetic retinopathy.
In vivo, curcumin inhibited the proliferation of retinal endothelial cells in tested animals.
Curcumolide, a bioactive compound found in turmeric, demonstrates a significant effect in alleviating retinal inflammatory activities both in vitro.
In vivo of the STZ-induced diabetic rat model and in TNF-α-stimulated HUVECs, injection of curcumolide exerted anti-inflammatory effects against the inflammatory induction of retinal damage.
Furthermore, curcumolide also alleviated retinal vascular permeability and leukostasis and attenuated the overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines in diabetic retinas.
Based on the findings, researchers wrote in the final report, "These data suggest potential treatment strategies against diabetic retinopathy, particularly in the early stages of the disease".
Taken together, turmeric processed with a high amount of curcumolide may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of diabetic retinopathy, 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.

Conventionally, diabetic retinopathy diagnosed and treated early was found to reduce diabetic retinopathy risk by 95%. However, late-stage diabetic retinopathy may cause irreversible vision loss.
Please make sure you have eye exams more frequently for preventive measures.
By managing your blood glucose by changing your lifestyle with moderate exercise and taking your medication as direct diabetic retinopathy may be preventable.
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 antioxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, and wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
In the urgency to find a potential ingredient for the prevention of diabetic complications, researchers examined the effect of curcumin, an active ingredient of turmeric on diabetic retinopathy.
In vivo, curcumin inhibited the proliferation of retinal endothelial cells in tested animals.
Curcumolide, a bioactive compound found in turmeric, demonstrates a significant effect in alleviating retinal inflammatory activities both in vitro.
In vivo of the STZ-induced diabetic rat model and in TNF-α-stimulated HUVECs, injection of curcumolide exerted anti-inflammatory effects against the inflammatory induction of retinal damage.
Furthermore, curcumolide also alleviated retinal vascular permeability and leukostasis and attenuated the overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines in diabetic retinas.
Based on the findings, researchers wrote in the final report, "These data suggest potential treatment strategies against diabetic retinopathy, particularly in the early stages of the disease".
Taken together, turmeric processed with a high amount of curcumolide may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of diabetic retinopathy, 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.
