Cholestrol

Cholestrol is natural product of the body and is essential for a variety of functions. Our body uses Cholestrol to make the hormones testosterone and is one of the stimuli for aging men and women. As you grow older our body loses its capacity of sexual drive, energy and strength. Hence the Hormones testosterone plays a vital role here.Now the real problem lies in that if the oxidation of cholestrol takes place it leads to the heart disease. This oxidation enables the cholestrol to become sticky and it starts to form plaque in the walls of arteries of heart. This can be controlled by effective use of anti-oxidants. Some of the most powerful anti-oxidants are:
1. CoenzymeQ10 2. Vitamin E 3. Vitamin A 4. Vitamin CTo keep the cholestrol levels in balance we have to consume low cost, safe food sources rich in omega 3's. Some of those foods are:1. Garlic 2. Ginger 3. Olive Oil 4. Almonds 5. Walnuts 6. Eggs 7. Fresh fruits.A diet heavy in grains and processed foods will actually raise your blood cholesterol levels more than foods which contain cholesterol. Some of the best ways to improve your “Good” or HDL cholesterol is through: 1. Exercise 2. Vitamin D 3. Niacin 4. Moderate alcohol consumptionAnd finally … Policosanol – An organic plant alcohol from sugar cane is one of the best natural ways to reduce bad cholesterol levels.

STOMACH GROWLING

The rumbles, gurgles and growls you sometimes hear from your abdomen typically are due to normal digestion. Hunger and appetite are controlled by a complex system of hormone-like substances primarily made by our digestive system. When we have not eaten for a while, these substances are released and cause a part of our brain called the ‘hypothalamus’ to "switch on" our desire to eat. A message is then sent to our stomach and intestines. This triggers muscle contractions and the release of acids and other digestive fluids as our body prepares for you to eat. The thought, sight or smell of food also can trigger this same response — growling, rumbling and gurgling, from our intestines.
Sometimes, stomach growling or rumbling can be a symptom of an underlying gastrointestinal disorder, for example, irritable bowel syndrome. But in such cases, excessive abdominal noise usually is accompanied by other symptoms such as bloating, cramping, diarrhea or excess gas.
