Food Therapy: Legume (Chickpea) For Reduced Risk and Treatment of Chronic Inflammatory Diseases

Kyle J. Norton

Chickpeas may have a substantial and therapeutic effect in ameliorated production of proinflammatory cytokines in induction of symptoms of pain, swelling, redness,....during the early phase of infection, some scientists suggested.

Garbanzo beans also known as chickpea is an edible legume of genus Cicer and the family Fabaceae, high in protein and minerals. It is one of the earliest cultivated vegetables, native to Middle East.

Inflammation is a natural process of immune system in protect the damage tissues against invasion of foreign substances.

Evaluation of the effect of chickpea anti inflammatory activities may involve expression of several aspects and mechanisms.

Legume intake including chickpeas, in the study of 486 Tehrani female teachers expressed a strong effect in reduced levels of E-selectin induced by expression of cytokines during the inflammatory process, and down regulated of rapid E-selectin may have a profound effect to protect against chronic inflammation.

E-selectin, also known as CD62 antigen-like family member E (CD62E), is a cell adhesion molecule expressed on inflamed endothelial cells activated by inflammatory cytokines in acute phase of infection.

Further analysis also found that application of legume intake including chickpeas, exerted significant effects in lower levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, the markers in expression of inflammation. Increased median sICAM-1 serum concentration was considered as an indication of inflammation and Lower the levels of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) is a maker in expression of chronic inflammatory diseases.

Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) is a protein expressed on the surface in activated endothelial cells.

Interestingly, the administration also exerted antioxidant effect in reduced serum concentrations of high sensitive CRP, a protein has been used to measure the risk of CVD and local inflammation, if presented in high levels and tumor necrosis factor alpha TNFα, which is a cell signalling involved in systemic inflammation, particularly in the acute phase infection, with function in regulated immune function during tissues damage, over expression of TNFα, may be an indication of serve inflammation.

More importantly, the inhibition of interleukin-6 may also be another expression of the application effect in reduced gene interleukin-6 (IL-6) secreted by T cells and macrophages in production of pro inflammatory cytokine to induce the acute phase of inflammation.

Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is an interleukin with duo function of a pro-inflammatory cytokine and an anti-inflammatory myokine

Intrusively, in a randomized cross-over clinical trial investigated the effects of two intervention diets (non-soya legume-based therapeutic lifestyle change (TLC) diet v. isoenergetic legume-free TLC diet) on inflammatory biomarkers among type 2 diabetic patients of 31 participants (twenty-four women and seven men; weight 74.5 (SD 7.0) kg; age 58.1 (SD 6.0) years) randomly assigned to one of the two following intervention diets for 8 weeks: legume-free TLC diet or non-soya legume-based TLC diet, researchers at the Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Science, found that the the non-soya legume-based TLC diet expressed a significantly supportive to above study by decreased high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, IL-6 and TNF-α in overweight diabetic patients.

Taking altogether, legume included chickpeas expressed a significant effect in ameliorated inflammatory activities may be considered as an adjunct therapy used combined with standard treatment for chronic inflammatory diseases.

Food Therapy: Lentils (Legume) Ameliorated Risk of Hyperlipidemia

Kyle J. Norton

Intake of lentils daily and regularly may have a profound effect in maintaining and normalizing right levels of cholesterol through expression of ratio of high-density lipoprotein (HDL/total cholesterol number(overall amount of cholesterol found in the blood).
Lentil, a type of pulse or tiny legumes which can be cooked quickly and rich in protein and fiber.is a bushy annual plant of genus Lens the Fabaceaefamily, native to Middle East.

Hyperlipidemia.is a medical condition chreacterized by abnormal high blood cholesterol in the blood stream.

The evaluation of the effect of lentils in risk of high blood cholesterol was found to associate to certain mechanisms through numbers of aspects.

According to the study of the effects of frequent consumption (five cups/week over 8 weeks) of pulses (yellow peas, chickpeas, navy beans and lentils), compared with counselling to reduce energy intake by 2093 kJ/d (500 kcal/d), on risk factors of the metabolic syndrome in two groups (nineteen and twenty-one subjects, respectively) of overweight or obese (mean BMI 32·8 kg/m2) adults, at week 8, after a 75 g oral glucose load, measurement of HDL increased by 4·5 in the pulse group, in compared to decreased of 0·8 in energy group.

Further more, treatment of pulse diet also expressed a significant improvement in restriction of energy intake to promote weight loss and reduced weight circumference which have been considered as some risk factors in facilitated abnormal blood cholesterol in over weight and obese subjects.

According to general belief, weight loss in obese and over weight adults plays an important role in reduced risk of having high LDL (low density lipoprotein) bad cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and low HDL (high density lipoprotein) good cholesterol.

Additionally, in the investigation of hydroalcoholic extract isolated from lentils to examine the hypocholesterolemic action in diet-induced hypercholesterolemic animal model for 70 days, by studying the plasma cholesterol level and the concentration of bile acids in the feces, researchers found that at day 71, injection of hydroalcoholic extract demonstrated a strong effect in decreased cholesterol level of rats by 16.8%, in compared to non treatment group.

Further analysis also suggested that the extract also increased the level of bile acids, metabolic regulators of lipid, in the feces of rats which is an indication of decreased LDL-cholesterol concentration, and increased HDL-cholesterol concentration.

Dr, Färkkilä M, the lead author in the study of lipid metabolism in bile acid malabsorption said,
"Enhanced cholesterol and bile acid synthesis in ileal dysfunction is reflected by raised concentrations of plasma cholesterol precursors, especially lathosterols, which can be used as an indicator of increased bile acid loss to faeces".

More interestingly, the measured and compared the metabolic variables, weight loss and inflammatory marker concentrations of 30 obese subjects (17 M/13F; BMI: 32.5 ± 4.5 kg/m(2); 36 ± 8 years) randomly assigned to either (4 weeks): Calorie-restricted legume-free diet (Control: C-diet) or calorie-restricted legume-based diet (L-diet, different cooked-servings (160-235 g) of lentils, chickpeas, peas or beans) conducted by the University of Navarra indicated that group treated with L-diet displayed a significant effect in induction of weight loss, reduced both total and LDL cholesterol levels in compared to Calorie-restricted legume-free diet control group.

The weight loss in the treatment group also demonstrated a decrease concentration levels of CRP and C3 which may be an indication of lower inflammatory process in facilitated lipid deposit in the inner wall of arteries induced by oxidative stress through stimulation by reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Dr. Hermsdorff HH, the lead author at the University of Navarra said, " the reduction (%) in CRP concentrations was positively associated with decreases (%) in systolic BP and total cholesterol concentration specifically in the L-diet group, independent from weight loss (p < 0.05)". t

Taken together, lentils and other species of legume may be considered as functional foods in reduced ricks of hyperlipidemia, through lowering levels of low density lipoprotein(LDL), increasing levels of high density lipoprotein(HDL) and improving ratio of high-density lipoprotein (HDL/total cholesterol number, particularly in inducing weight loss in over weight and obese population.

Herbal Therapy: Green Tea, Bioactive Epigallocatechin-3-O-(3-O-methyl) Gallate (EGCG3"Me) Anti Allergic Effects

Green tea may have a particular and special effect in ameliorated auto immunity in precipitation of allergic diseases, some scientists opinionated.

Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine or food, long term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, induced "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weaken immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory.

Allergic diseases are a class of conditions characterized by over reaction of the immune system to substances which cause little or no harm to the body.

Investigation of the effect of green tea bioactive compounds in reduced abnormal immune allergic expression was found to associate to certain mechanisms.

According to the Kyushu University, Epigallocatechin-3-O-(3-O-methyl) gallate (EGCG3"Me) isolated from cv. "Benifuuki" green tea expressed strong and positive activities in inhibited the mast cell production in precipitated allergic inflammatory responses and suppressed the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) function in expression of mmunoglobulin E (IgE), an antibody isotype involved allergy disorder through 67 kDa laminin receptor in mediation of the suppressive effect by epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate.

Further analysis also found that the bioactive compound binds to 67 kDa laminin receptor to attenuate allergic expression induced by mast cell by suppressing the myosin light chain phosphorylation in regulated immune response to osinophil (a type of disease-fighting white blood cell) migration in the tissue, a characteristic feature of allergic diseases and ERK1/2 phosphorylation signalling by modulation of inflammatory cytokines expression.

A double-blind clinical study of the green tea effect on subjects exposed to Japanese cedar pollinosis, administration of Benifuuki green tea containing O-methylated catechins showed a significantly relieved allergic symptoms induced by pollen such as nose blowing, eye itching in compared with the placebo group without effecting the normal immune responses.

More interestingly, in mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells activated by antigens, bioactive compound epigallocatechin-3-O-(3-O-methyl) gallate (EGCG3″Me) in combination with ginger extract also demonstrated a strongly anti-delay-type allergic effect by suppressing cytokines secretion of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), a cell signaling protein (cytokine) in response to systemic inflammation in the acute phase infection.and macrophage Inflammatory Proteins(MIP-1α), a chemokine involved host response to invading bacteria and virus.

In compared to the dose of 5.1 times higher in EGCG, injection of 8.5 mg of EGCG3″Me exhibited a much stronger anti allergic activity than 43.5 mg of EGCG, observed by the area under curve AUC (area under the drug concentration time curve; min μg/ml) of 6.72 ± 2.87 in EGCG and 8.48 ± 2.54 in EGCG3″Me.

Taken together, green tea with abundantly bioactive Epigallocatechin-3-O-(3-O-methyl) gallate (EGCG3"Me) may be considered as a functional food for protection against auto immune response stimulated by unharmful allergens.

Alternative Therapy: Yoga Exercise in Reduced Symptoms Intensity and Frequency in Patients with Bronchial Asthma

Kyle J. Norton

People with bronchial asthma participated in yoga class are likely to experience lower symptoms intensity and frequency, some researchers suggested.

Yoga, the ancient practice for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been best known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

According to the study to evaluate a one month in-patient naturopathy and yoga programme effects for patients with asthma with retrospective data of 159 bronchial asthma patients, yoga participants showed a significant increase in the Forced Vital Capacity and Forced Expiratory Volume from the date of admission up to 6th month post Bonferroni correction, observed by the paired sample t test results.

In compared to the beginning of the invention, yoga group also expressed significantly increase from admission till the date of discharge according to the Maximum voluntary ventilation assay

Furthermore, the Peak Expiratory Flow Rate also significantly increased from admission till the 36th month of follow-up, observed through post Bonferroni correction.

These illustrations demonstrated a strong effect of yoga in reduced over all symptoms through improving the physical lung function. Because of these traumatic results, Dr. Rao YC,, the led authors author suggested that yoga in combined with naturopathy may be considered as a secondary management of bronchial asthma.

In deed, yoga breathing and yoga posts such as Bridge, Cobra, Wheel, and Upward-Facing Dog open and stretch the chest, stimulated the blood circulation to the lung area to improve lung function and strengthened the lung muscles, thus increasing lung diffusion capacity.

Further more, yoga breath and retention with "inhale air into the abdomen and feel it expand into the rib cage, into the chest and collar bone then exhale from the chest, rib cage, and lastly from the abdomen slowly", according to some yogic instructors can increase oxygen absorption and maximize CO2 expelling to prevent blocking of space for air circulation, thus cultivating greater lung capacity in absorption of prana in precitipation of maximized metabolic function of lung cells and reduced symptoms of intensity in patients with bronchial asthma.

Interestingly, German scientists in following up to the above study of long term effect of yoga breathing exercises and yoga intervention in patients with bronchial asthma also found that
yoga interventions demonstrated a significant amelioration of the psychological symptoms such as depression and mood disorder and induced a significant improvement of lung function parameters, observed by the Forced expiatory volume (FEV) assay.

According to the review published in the March, 2013 issue of the “Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.” the Yoga postures (asanas) and breathing (pranayama) showed to improve lung capacity in healthy adults averaging 90 minutes per day over a 10-week period in yoga participation.

In the concerns of yoga class may have any effect in enhanced quality of life in related to mental state of patients with bronchial asthma, researchers conducted a randomized trial with 120 non-smoking male and female patients of asthma in the age group of 17-50 years randomly assigned into two groups i.e. Group A (Yoga group, with patients practiced yoga breathing exercises for 8 weeks) and Group B (control group), after assessing asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) and diary record returned from patients, and indicated that yoga group expressed a statistically and gradually significant improvement in "symptoms", "activities" and "environmental" domains of AQLQ during the periods, specially in reduction in daily number and severity of attacks in compared to control.

The finding evidences showed that yoga breathing exercises used adjunctively with standard pharmacological treatment significantly improved quality of life and decreased symptoms frequency in patients with bronchial asthma.

Herbal Therapy: Green Tea EGCG, A Potent Iron Chelator in Regulation of Progression of Parkinson's disease

Green tea may be considered as a functional food and iron chelator in reduced risk and progression of Parkinson's disease, some scientists suggested

Iron chelation therapy is a primary and standard treatment for patients with iron overload.

Green tea, is a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and Western world.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, causing severe depletion of glutamatergic and dopaminergic inputs in the striatum.

Investigation of the green tea EGCG effect in risk and progression of PD has been found to associate to many mechanisms involved numbers of aspects.

Application of metal chelation was found to ameliorated the expression of ROS in induction of oxidative stress through a chain of reaction and precipitation of aggregation of alpha-synuclein and beta-amyloid peptides deposit in the brain, main leading causes to the onset of PD.

In iron abnormality PD subjects, oxidopamine, also known as 6-hydroxydopamine or 2,4,5-trihydroxyphenethylamine(6-OHD), a neurotoxic synthetic organic compound was found to disrupt iron metabolism, leading to over expression of the iron induction of dyshomeostasis cause of iron toxicity and oxidative damage in dopaminergic neurons.

Green tea major polyphenol, (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate used in metal chelation, ameliorated iron dependent free radicals located in the subcellular compartments and cellular membranes, through the effect in inhibited iron input and exhibited iron output in brain areas where it preferentially accumulates in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinsons' disease.

Further analysis of the neurotoxin 6-OHDA causes of iron unstable equilibrium, green extract GECG administration improved the function of hepcidin, a liver-derived hormone in regulated iron dyshomeostasis and gene expression of the iron metabolism through expressions of iron regulatory proteins (IRP1 and IRP2) in regulated the RNA level, between the transcription and the translation of the gene in expression of the iron homeostasis.

Indeed, In the differentiation of neurotoxin 6-OHDA induced iron dyshomeostasis has shown to increase oxidative stress in damage to neuron cells, green extract GECG effects demonstrated a significant inhibition of free radical and iron free radical expression in the cellular membranes through the antioxidant activities and anti-inflammatory system and expression of nuclear factor-like 2(Nrf2) in stimulated production of antioxidant in protection against oxidative damage during injury and inflammation; heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) in increased production of superoxide dismutase and catalase against ROS and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) in regulated production of pro and anti inflammatory cytokines and mytokines..

By reducing the over expression of oxidative damage to neuron cells through regulation of iron related factors as mentioned above, iron chelator EGCG can counteract these adverse effects and prevent onset of PD.

Further study of the mechanism on disruption of iron metabolism by 6-OHDA in PD cell line N27, discovered that application of the iron chelator EGCG also disrupts the iron dyshomeostasis in N27 cells (dopaminergic neural cell line) induced by 6-OHDA through regulating iron transporters and regulators expression, such as DMT1 with function in mediation of the entry of dietary iron into these mucosal cells and TfR, a carrier protein for transferrin with function in import iron into the cell and regulated response to intracellular iron concentration and hepcidin, a central regulator in maintain iron homeostasis.

Dysregulation of hepcidin production results in a variety of iron disorders.

Additionally, in 6-OHDA induced neurotoxicity to cause PD, administration of green tea GECG also reduced the intracellular iron retention by decreasing the iron importers and increasing iron exporters, through regulation of the function of iron-regulated transporters, such as ferroportin.

Interestingly, there was a report suggested that intervention of 3 cups of green tea daily for 3 months improved the antioxidant status and reduced oxidative damage in early PD patients without affecting their iron status.

The findings evidences revealed that green tea bioactive polyphenol, (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate may be considered as iron chelator in regulation of PD progression.

Herbal Therapy: Green Tea in Ameliorated Risk and Treatment of Lifestyle-Related Diseases

Green tea is found to consist a therapeutic and sustainable effect in reduced risk and progression life style diseases, some scientists postulated

Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and Western world.

Lifestyle diseases are a class of diseases associated with the way a person or group of people lives, including atherosclerosis, heart disease, and stroke; obesity and type 2 diabetes....and diseases precipitated by smoking and alcohol and drug abuse.

Epidemiological studies suggested that lifestyle-related diseases may be preventable with the change of lifestyle accompanied with intake of some nontoxic agents.

Differentiation of the effect of green tea in attenuated risk and treatment of lifestyle related diseases was found to associate to some mechanisms involving numbers of aspect, particularly, in gene facilitation.

In animal model, green tea administration inhibited risk and symptoms and progression of chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, through regulation of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) gene in expression of inflammatory cytokines in promoted systematic inflammation in the acute phase of infection caused by damage and injure tissues, in modulated the activation of NF-kappaB signalling pathway related to cellular response in induction of anti and pro inflammatory stimulation and transcription factor complex (AP-1) in initiation of inflammation against foreign invasion.

The inhibition of inflammatory cytokines expression reduced symptoms of pain, reddish skin, swelling without limiting the protective effect of the immune system to prevent damage tissues against invasion of foreign substances.

Further analysis of chronic inflammatory diseases, in transgenic mice model with human idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis suggested that injection of green tea in 4 months demonstrated a significant activity in ameliorated over expression of TNF-alpha in stimulated production of pro inflammatory cytokines and interleukin (IL)-6 in initiated inflammatory expression in cellular defense in response to infections and tissue injuries in the lung.

In life style related diseases of cardiovascular disease, intake of green tea beverage or extract expressed a significant reductions in serum total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol concentrations, without effecting the levels of HDL-cholesterol.

Additionally, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, green tea extract catechin injection improved fasting glucose levels without affecting the hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level, which is an predictor of type 2 diabetes onset and green tea consumed 5 or more cups per day was associated to a strongly and positively inverse association to risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
.
More amazingly, after taking into account of other con founders, Dr. Sueoka E, the lead scientist suggested that intake of green tea, containing catechins and caffeine, 5 or more cups per day exhibited a potential and therapeutic effect for body weight management, without going into details.

According to the prospective cohort study in Saitama Prefecture, Japan, green tea injection of over 10 cups per day, displayed a substantial effect in decreased relative risk of death from all causes in patients with cardiovascular disease, particularly, in stroke mortality.

Take together, there is no doubt that green tea with abundantly bioactive phytochemicals may be considered as a function food to reduced risk, progression and treatment of lifestyle related disease, but change of lifestyle is always recommended.

Food Therapy: Chick (Garden) Peas Inhibited Platelet Aggregation in Ameliorated Risk of Cardiovascular Disease

Kyle J. Norton

Methanolic extract of Chick (Garden) Peas may have a potential effect in decreased platelet aggregation and inhibited thrombus formation, thus improving blood circulation for prevention of cardiovascular disease, some scientists suggested.

Garbanzo beans also known as chickpea is an edible legume of genus Cicer and the family Fabaceae, high in protein and minerals. It is one of the earliest cultivated vegetable, native to Middle East.

Inflammation is a natural process of immune defense against infection caused by injure through removal of injurious agents, necrosed cells and tissues.

Evaluation of pea family effects in reduced platelet aggregation for prevention of cardiovascular disease have been found to associated to numbers of mechanisms involved many aspects.

Methanolic extract isolated from garden pea and Desi chickpea demonstrated an inhibited arachidonic acid (AA) expression in induction of platelet aggregation (IC50 = 35 microg/mL)

Arachidonic acid, an omega-6 unsaturated fatty acid with function in growth and repair of muscle tissue is also important as an proinflammatory and immunosupportive substance in response to actute and chronic tissue damage.

Several reports have suggested that arachidonic acid induced expression of platelet aggregation by mediators thromboxane A2 and/or prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) in signalling expression of thromboxane A2/prostaglandin H2 (TXA2/PGH2) receptor occupation.

Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) is a type of thromboxane with function in stimulation of production of new platelets to induce platelet aggregation.

Prostaglandin H2 is a type of prostaglandin acted as mediators involved in physiological processes, including platelet aggregation, muscle movement and inflammation.

Further differentiated the other effects of methanolic extract isolated from garden pea and Desi chickpea on platelet aggregation, showed that the extract isolated from garden pea displayed a positive inhibition of platelet activating factor (PAF)(IC50 = 38 microg/mL) in a dose dependent fashion, in induction of platelet aggregation, but this action was not found in Desi chickpea extract.

Platelet-activating factor (PAF), is a lipid mediator with function in exhibited expression of platelet aggregation, immune response and inflammation.

Interestingly, the methanolic extract isolated from Kabuli chickpea also expressed a strong platelet aggregation effect without activation of either arachidonic acid (AA) or latelet-activating factor (PAF) expressions.

The findings suggested that there must exist other mechanisms in reduced platelet aggregation, other than inhibition of arachidonic acid (AA) and platelet-activating factor (PAF) activities by the testing extract isolated from the above members of pea family.

Further differentiation showed that methanolic extract isolated from the pea family also inhibited platelet aggregation through endothelial cells COX-2 lining the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in production of platelet PGE2 precipitated by inflammatory cytokine expression during the acute phase of tissue damage.

COX-2 is an enzyme with function in response for inflammation and pain.

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE-2) is also released by blood vessel walls with function in response to infection or inflammation.

Indeed, the extract displayed a strongly inhibited effect at dose of concentration 20 microg/mL in lower the levels of synthesis of PGE2 by 92%, 87% and 65% in extract of Garden pea, Desi chickpea and Kabuli chickpea, respectively, according to COX-2 essay.

Taken together, peas family including Garden pea, Desi chickpea and Kabuli chickpea could be useful as natural anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory whole foods. People who are in high risk of CVD due to platelet effect may want to add a portion of chickpeas into their daily diet.

Alternative Therapy: Yoga, In reduced Risk and Treatment of Sleep Disturbance

Kyle J. Norton

Yoga may be considered as a feasibility and efficacy program in improved sleep disturbance, some respectable institute studies suggested

An individual may experience sleep disturbance because of a medical condition, such as sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, or periodic limb movement and/or psychological stress in initiated anxiety, an overactive nervous system, depression.......
Yoga, the ancient technique practice for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been best known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

In the study to test the feasibility and efficacy of a shared yoga (SY) program for sleep disturbance in older adults with osteoarthritis (OA) from ages 50 to 7) with insomnia related to OA by randomizing to 12 weeks of SY (n = 9) or individual yoga (IY; n = 7), in compared to Pre-post testing result, all participants showed statistically significant improvements on the Insomnia Severity Index and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement System sleep disturbance scale and yoga overall feasibility of the program, both in the shared and individual formats.

After taking account of other risk factors, researchers said," efficacy data suggest that yoga program may improve sleep, but given the study limitations".

Indeed, yoga simple postures for beginners learned from the experience instructors may reduce tension of participants through induced relaxation and increased body-mind awareness which have been found to benefit the calming effect of the nervous system in reduced risk of night time sleep disturbance.

A few minutes right before bed to do a yoga sequence designed particularly to calm the mind may also be helpful to give rise of.sleep easily.

Other researchers suggested that relaxing activities before bedtime, rather than stressful work tasks or intense exercise are necessary for some people with sleep disorder.

Additionally, the study of the efficacy of gentle yoga for sleep disturbance in women with osteoarthritis with all participants completed an 8-week yoga program that included 75-min weekly classes and 20 min of nightly home practice (13/14 completed the study) also indicate that

all participants expressed a significant improvement at post-intervention versus pre-intervention through observation of The Insomnia Severity Index and diary-reported sleep onset latency, sleep efficiency, and number of nights with insomnia.

Furthermore, all participants also showed improvement on mean scores at post-intervention through analyzed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, diary-reported total sleep time and wake after sleep onset.

In fact, the presence of sleep disturbance may be a stress related disease. As stress elevates production of hormone cortisol in activation of the "flight or fight" response which directs blood flow to the nervous system and increased the brain tension in preparation how to respond to the stressful event.

Yoga exercise, using deep relaxation and meditation to create a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, like the "going-to-sleep" stage with an aim to decrease sleep disturbance risk.

More importantly, in examine the effect of yoga in patients with Osteoarthritis (OA), the University of Washington suggested yoga intervention improved sleep disturbance through expression in reduced pain, sleep disturbance, and disability as well as improved musculoskeletal strengthening,
flexibility, relaxation, reduced of autonomic arousal, and enhanced cognitive patterns (distraction, mindfulness), probably as the result of yoga exercise effect in induced a state of calmness against central nervous tension caused by stress events and created a clear mind to tackle the stress in a positive way through relaxation and breathing.

Dr. Taibi DM, the led author said, ".... when evaluating the potential usefulness and safety of yoga programs: yoga style, instructor qualifications, and amount of time spent in yoga practice".

Particularly, in harmonization of the mind and body, yoga lead us to the stage existed in the present moment and connected mindful, conscious and connected way in solving stress.

Some yoga instructors suggested although yoga may not facilitate all the physical or medical causes of sleep disturbance, the practice with breathing and meditation surely can re-balance the mind and action in response to overactive nervous system through soothing emotional stress by indirectly addressing the roots and experience of image and feeling in inducing pain, confusion, and anxiety while letting go of them or dealing with them in a positive way.

The information findings suggested that yoga may be considered as standardized evening yoga in treatment in sleep disturbance.

Herbal Therapy: Green Tea Bioactive Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate (EGCG) Attenuated Risk and Treatment of Atherosclerosis

Kyle J. Norton (Scholar, Master of Nutrients, All right reserved)

Green tea may have a therapeutic and positive effect in reduced risk and treatment of atherosclerosis, some scientists suggested.

Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine or food, long term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, induced "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weaken immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory.

Atherosclerosis is medical condition characterized by the deposition of plaques of fatty material on the inner walls, causing to hardening of the arterial vessels.

According to statistic, mortality rate of coronary heart disease was about 60% in 2010 in compared to 30% of stroke and heart failure.

In the study to determine the effect of green tea bioactive epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in ameliorated Porphyromonas gingivalis -induced atherosclerosis in a murine model, after injection of the extract EGCG, the tested mice than fed high-fat diets and injected with P. gingivalis three times a week for 3 weeks, observation at weeks 15 displayed a significant reduction of atherosclerotic plaques accumulated in the branches of arteries, observed by Oil Red O staining

Further analysis also found that the polyphenol extract decreased infection of atherosclerotic lesion areas in the anatomic dilations of the ascending aorta through decreased expression of C-reactive protein, in regulated the acute phase of infection and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1/CCL2) chemokines in regulated migration and infiltration of monocytes/macrophages.of immune system in induced production of cytokines to counter foreign substances.

Additional observation, also indicated that green tea bioactive epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) not also improved LDL/very LDL cholesterol but also ameliorated ROS activity via antioxidant in induced low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation, a leading indication of plague accumulation.

In depth differentiation, the efficacy of green tea epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in reduced expression of atherosclerosis due to bacterial P. gingivalis was attributed to decrease secreted proteins with functions in stimulated inflammatory effects, such as chemokines (CCL2) involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes, matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9) in regulated pathological remodeling processes that involve inflammation, ICAM-1 (Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1) involvesd inflammation of capillary vessel walls, the mitochondrial chaperonin hsp60 in induction of inflammation,......

Interestingly, in the process to prevent plague to initiation of development of atherosclerosis through above implications, green tea epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) also increased levels of antioxidant defense enzyme (heme oxygenase-1 mRNA) HO-1 mRNA levels in reduced expression of oxidative stress in induction of pathogenic inflammatory diseases.

Intrusively, continued investigated the effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in inhibit the formation and development of atherosclerosis via its anti inflammatory capability also found that EGCG restricts the function of IL6 (interleukin 6) in induced over expression of pro inflammatory cytokines and Angiotensin (Ang) II functions in stimulated and increased vascular permeability through production of vascular endothelial cell growth factor CRP in initiated the pro inflammatory process.

Interleukin 6 is an interleukin with duo functions of pro inflammatory cytokines and anti inflammatory mytokines.

Amazingly, antioxidant activities of EGCG also acted as free radical scavengers to prevent ROS to establish a chain reaction in induction of inflammatory effect in encouraging lipid accumulation in the inner wall of arteries, the leading cause of atherosclerosis.

ROS are free radical with function to mediate many pathophysiological processes, such as growth, migration, apoptosis and secretion of inflammatory cytokines,

Angiotensin is a hormone with function in regulated vasoconstriction in increased blood pressure.

Application of combined (-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) +chitosan (CS) and aspartic acid (PAA). demonstrated a significant effect in reduced risk and treatment of atherosclerosis through ameliorated lipid deposition in tested animals.
In compared to the effects of conventional medicine simvastatin with approximately successful treatment rate of lipid deposition of 15.6%, injection of (-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) +chitosan (CS) and aspartic acid (PAA).exhibited over all treatment rate of 16.9%.

The accounted evidences suggesting that EGCG, as a natural substance, may have a substantial and therapeutic effect in attentuated risk and treatment of atherosclerosis through anti-inflammatory and antioxidative activities..

Alternative Therapy: Yoga, in Reduced Risk and Treatment of Gastrointestinal Disorders

Kyle J. Norton

Yoga, as an adjunct intervention may be combined to standard treatment in reduced symptoms and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, some scientists suggested.

Gastrointestinal diseases are the class of diseases of the digestive system including the diseases of esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and rectum

Yoga, the ancient technique for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been best known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

In comparison of the effectiveness of standard medical care (SMC) and mixture of yoga poses, meditation, and relaxation exercises given once a week in group of 69 patients, ages 8 to 18 years, with abdominal pain-related functional gastrointestinal disorders (AP-FGIDs), at the end of experiment, yoga participated group demonstrated a significant improvement of all aspects related to abdominal pain-related functional gastrointestinal disorders (AP-FGIDs) of 58% inconpared to only 29% of non yoga group.

Subanalyses over the time period of 12 months, also expressed a significantly greater reduction of pain score by 50% in favor of YT.

In fact, the presence of abdominal pain-related functional gastrointestinal disorders (AP-FGIDs may be a stress related disease. As stress elevates hormone production of cortisol levels in activation of the "flight or fight" response which directs blood flow to the nervous system, causing the reduced blood circulation for muscle of the digestive system to perform its function optimally, thus inducing symptoms expression of digestive disorder such as abdominal pain.

According to Dr. E A Mayer in the article of The neurobiology of stress and gastrointestinal disease, "the role of stress in the modulation of the most common gastrointestinal disorders has traditionally been considered a domain of psychology, and has frequently been lumped together with the role of ..... Chronically elevated cortisol levels".

Additionally, stress also was found to associate to reduce function of immune system in fighting against viral bacterial invasion, in induced gastrointestinal infection and inflammation.

Some researchers suggested that chronic stress may induce ulcer as a result of over expression of hormone adrenaline and depressed digestive system.

Yoga exercise has been found to induce a state of calmness in reduced central nervous tension caused by stress events and create a clear mind to tackle the stress in a positive way through relaxation and breathing, particularly, in harmonization of the mind and body, yoga lead us to the stage existed in the present moment and connected mindful, conscious and connected way in solving stress.

Dr. Korterink JJ, the led author said, "At 1-year follow-up, YT in addition to standard care was superior compared with SMC according to treatment success, PIS, and reduction of school absence".

Interestingly, yoga therapy also showed to improve gastrointestinal disorder in day time behavior problems of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), by reduced levels of inflammation in intestinal tract, irritation bowel syndrome, bloating and other digestion related problems.

Additional analysis also suggested that child attended yoga class also expressed improved Gl problems such as chronic constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, bloody stools, vomiting and flatulence.

In depth differentiation, yoga exercised by children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) exerted a significant improvement in over all aspects.

Dr. Kumar Narasingharao, the led author after taking into account of other confounders, at the conclusion said, "Yoga affects both physiological and psychological level which helps in overall development of ASD children and thus, enhancing the quality of life of children as well as family".

The information findings suggested that yoga may be used as a secondary form of therapy to assist standard intervention in reduced risk and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders

Food therapy: Chickpeas Lectin in reduced Risk and Treatment of Oral cancer

Kyle J. Norton

Ckickpeas lectin may have a profound effect in ameliorated risk and treatment of oral cancer, some scientists suggested.

Garbanzo beans also known as chickpea is an edible legume of genus Cicer and the family Fabaceae, high in protein and minerals. It is one of the earliest cultivated vegetables, native to Middle East.

Oral cancer is a medical condition characterized by cell growth disorderly and uncontrollably in the mouth region. At the later stage, the cancerous cell may travel a distance away from the original site to infect healthy tissues and organs.

Investigation of the process of chickpea lectin in reduced oral cell proliferation and tumor expansion
may involve expression of several aspects and mechanism.

According to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, chickpeas reduced the cell proliferation of human oral carcinoma cells at the concentration of 37.5 μg/mL (IC50) and no toxic effect.

Further analysis, chickpeas anti cancer activity probably is a result the pro apoptotic effect induced by phychemical agent lectin found abundantly in the legume.

Lectin are types of protein with important function of binding to cell membranes and influence cell-cell interaction.

In oral cancer cell line, injection of lectin showed a significant effect in inhibition of the p38α MAP kinase activated under cellular stresses as well as in response to inflammatory cytokines and involved function in the control of many other aspects of the physiology of the cell, such as control of cell cycle or cytoskeleton remodelling,.. for cell survival of the cancer in presence of substrate (ATP).

By blocking the physiological expression of cancer cell, lectin reduced the cell proliferation and subsequently, shrinking the cancer site.

Further more, plytochemical lectin isolated from chickpeas also demonstrated a binding affinity with p38α in regulated the production of certain inflammatory cytokines which may have certain effect in induction of cancer growth.

The kinase p38α MAPK (p38α) plays a pivotal role in many biological processes including to protect cell in responses to inflammation and injury,

Specifically, in the influence of the production of inflammatory cytokines by p38α, lectin regulated the potent pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by cells of the innate immune system IL-1β in induction of tumor growth and metastasis in cells under prolong period of inflammation. According to general belief, many cancers have found to arise from sites of infection, chronic irritation and inflammation.

In tumor necrosis factor alpha TNF-α, application of chemical lectin to oral cancer site suppressed the inflammatory expression of the protein in induced cell survival and proliferation and promoted the pro apoptotic function of TNF-α in program of cell death and cell cycle arrest.

Tumor necrosis factor alpha TNF-α, is cell signal protein with function in induced inflammation in the acute phrase of injure and in numbers of cellular process, including cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, and death.

Importantly, the binding of kinase p38α MAPK also activated the function of IL-6, in inhibited the factors in induced production of inflammatory cytokines which have been found to have a negative impact in oral cell oncogenesis and enhanced the expression of boosting T cell trafficking to to tumor sites to induced cytotoxic effect to cause apoptosis.

IL-6, an interleukin with duo functions in both a pro-inflammatory cytokines and an anti-inflammatory myokines,

Taken together, chickpea lectin may have a therapeutically potential in reduced risk and considered as an adjunct therapy used combination with standard chemo-drugs for treatment of oral cancer

Food Therapy: Chick pea Pulses and Fibers in Reduced Risk of Metabolic Syndrome

Kyle J. Norton

Chickpea may have a profound effect in activated gut microbiota host energy homeostasis in modulated risk of metabolic syndrome, some studies suggested.

Garbanzo bean also known as chickpea is an edible legume of genus Cicer and the family Fabaceae, high in protein and minerals. It is one of the earliest cultivated vegetables, native to Middle East.

Metabolic syndrome is a set of conditions, including high blood pressure and blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels which may contribute to the onset of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

The effect of chickpea in reduced risk of metabolic syndrome has been investigated extensively through numbers of aspect and mechanism.

α-galactooligosaccharides (α-GOS) isolated from fermentable soluble fibers extracted of chickpea on high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced metabolic syndrome and gut bacterial dysbiosis in animal model, displayed a significant improvement of parameters which have a direct influence to the initiate risk of CVD, including deceased levels of blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, glycated serum protein, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol of mice in compared to control after 4 weeks of experiment.

Injection of α-galactooligosaccharides (α-GOS) showed a restrictive activity in reduced high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced metabolic syndrome in inhibited the content of all bacteria, such as Bacteroides in breaking down food and producing valuable nutrients and energy that the body needs and Lactobacillus with function in glucose metabolism and protect against over growth of pathogens in the digestive tract.

These illustration indicated that α-galactooligosaccharides (α-GOS) have a potential used as a probiotic to improve digestive health by balancing the levels of gut bacteria through colonic fermentation.

Furthermore, the extract also induced the production of short-chain fatty acids such as propionic acid with function in reduced acidity and butyric acids with function in reduced inflammation and improve overall gastrointestinal health through colonic bacterial fermentation.

Short-chain fatty acids has been extensively promoted as prebiotics and probiotics with an aimed at improving colonic and systemic health.

The finding information suggested that α-galactooligosaccharides (α-GOS) isolated from fermentable soluble fibers extracted of chickpea may affect the metabolic disorders and gut bacterial ecosystem in a positive way.

Additionally, 14 days of 2 single-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trials, 88 overweight adults [50% men and 50% women; 18-60 y old; body mass index (in kg/m(2)): 25-28] were supplemented for 14 d with tea contained α-GOSs with different α-GOS dosages (6, 12, or 18 g α-GOSs/d), formulas (12 g α-GOSs/d with >80% of molecules with a degree of polymerization of 2, 3, or 4), or a control substance (glucose syrup), also suggested that regardless to the composition, tea contained α-GOSs treatment group demonstrated a significant in reduced appetite, reduced energy intake during lunch and dinner in compared to control.

In other word, injection of α-GOSs daily and regularly may have a long-term effect in induced weight loss and mitigated metabolic disorders.

Similarly, the investigation of the effects of frequent consumption (five cups/week over 8 weeks) of pulses (yellow peas, chickpeas, navy beans and lentils), in compared with counselling to reduce energy intake by 2093 kJ/d (500 kcal/d), on risk factors of the MetSyn in two groups (nineteen and twenty-one subjects, respectively) of overweight or obese (mean BMI 32·8 kg/m2) adults
2017], also found that at the end of the experiment, both diets expressed a reductions in energy intake, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, glycosylated Hb (HbA1c) and glucose AUC and homeostasis model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) following a 75 g oral glucose load at weeks 1 and 8 with levels of HDL and C-peptide increased by 4·5 and 12·3 %, respectively in compared to decreased by 0·8 and 7·6 %, respectively, in the energy-restricted group.

C-peptide is a proinsulin molecule produced by the beta cells in the pancreas.

Interestingly, insulin area under curve was found to decrease in both females and males on the energy-restricted diet by 24·2 and 4·8 %, respectively, but on the pulse diet it decreased by 13·9 % in females and increased by 27·3 % in males.

After taking into account of other con founder, Dr.Mollard RC, the lead author said, "frequent consumption of pulses,...reduced risk factors of the metabolic syndrome and these effects were equivalent, and in some instances stronger, than counselling for dietary energy reduction".

Taken together, the information findings, suggested that chick pea with abundant fibers with direct effect in improved gut health and reduced high blood pressure, high blood sugar, abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels and promoted weigh loss through decrease appetite may be considered as a function food in ameliorated risk of metabolic syndrome, thus lowering the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

Alternative Therapy, Yoga, an Integrated Form of Physical Exercise in Ameliorated Psychological Health in Women with Stillbirth

Kyle J. Norton

Yoga may be used as integrated form of intervention in improved mental and physical health of women who lost their babies due to stillbirth, some studies suggested.

Stillbirth is one of the tragic event to the mother characterized by the the death or loss of a baby before or during delivery.

Yoga, the ancient practice for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been well known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

In the study to evaluate women in ages 19 and 45 experienced stillbirth within one year of the study, through online survey related to 1) pregnancy and family information (i.e., time since stillbirth, weight gain during pregnancy, number of other children) 2) physical activity participation, 3) depressive symptomatology, and 4) demographics, researchers found that over 88% reported of depression with score of >10 on depression scale and 23% stillbirth mothers who participated yoga practice displayed an improvement of greater than 58% in reduction in depression.

In compared to control, decreased symptoms of depression also were observed in the group engaging to yoga exercise.

The findings indicated that yoga practice may serve as an unique opportunity to help women to cope with the multiple mental sequelae after stillbirth.

Additionally, in the concern of increased risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depressive symptoms in women who experience stillbirth, researchers at the Arizona State University conducted a study to investigate whether yoga as a strategy can help to cope with PTSD symptoms of women who have experienced the death of their baby. Out of 26 women in each group completed randomly assigned to either > 3 wks of yoga, or < 3 wks of yoga) researchers found that regardless to the periods of participation, 75% of women in both groups expressed that yoga intervention was very enjoyable or enjoyable, and very helpful or helpful to cope with grief.

Truly, yoga breathing exercise induced deep relaxation and meditation showed to induce a state of consciousness to cope with psychological stress caused by grief and unfortunate of present event by facing the loss with the positive feelings in reduced anger and increased more compassion towards the body and mind. Physically, the mental expression in the right direction in yoga intervention eventually induced the returning of proper hormone secretion.

Karla Helbert, LPC. Therapist, Certified Yoga instructor, in the article of Yoga for Grief & Loss. recommended yoga asanas and practices for the relief and release of grief opening poses such as mountain pose, sun salutation, yogic eye movements to help to "establish a ritual and energize the body and mind", "counteract feelings of depletion and sadness" and "(encounter) processing thoughts and memories of traumatic grief".

In deed, women in both groups of the study also indicated a higher levels of satisfaction and perceptions

More importantly, participation of 6-week and 12-month follow-up assessments among women with a history of stillbirth (N = 22) also indicated an improvement of negative psychosocial symptoms and reduced levels of perinatal grief in four of the five facets of mindfulness.

Impressively, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is an yoga intervention which has been found to exert a significant effect in increased functional self-insight and quality of life, improved emotional balance and coping with distress, induced decreased state and trait anxiety, depression total mood disturbance, particularly in restored balance between affective and sensory neural networks.

Dr. Roberts LR, the led author said after taking second look of the results, " Yoga mindfulness was significant mental health needs,......... following stillbirth, (as the program) successfully addressed by a promising MBI with potential scalability and sustainability"

Taking altogether, yoga as a safe and low cost may be considered as an integrated form of physical and mental exercise used conjunction with primary treatment in reduced psychological symptoms in women after having stillbirth.
