Healthy Supplements

There are very few supplements by themselves. For the majority of supplements, they need to be consumed in conjunction with a nutritionally balanced meal. This includes most of the vitamins and minerals people take. It usually says in the instructions that the supplements are to be consumed with a meal or with food and water. People ignore this at their own peril. For example, taking a large dose of niacin alone may be harmful by using up the available methyl groups and preventing normal methylation, but be really helpful when taken with healthy meal to lower cholesterol, etc. Likewise, chromium when taken alone can damage DNA and generate free radicals, but when take with a balanced healthy meal can have healthful benefits as is evidenced by the lowering of hemoglobin A1c levels, etc. Even vitamin C which is usually thought of as an antioxidant produced oxidative byproducts which are one of the chief causes of damage to the cornea. In short, most supplements must be taken in conjunction with a nutritional balanced, healthy meal in order to provide the desired effects.

Carola's Best

I think I need a few more years to figure out which of Carola Maria Häggkvist's songs I like best. Maybe she has not sung it yet!
Nevertheless, I prefer the dancing dancing in this one:

A reprise and "All the Reasons to Live"

NF-κB

Transcription factor NF-kappaB/REL is activated through complex phosphorylation processes to signal a response to injury and infection. It is very important in protecting the body from infectious agents, but can get out of control. Overactivation leads to heart disease, joint destruction, cancer, tumor proliferation and a variety of other deadly symptoms of inflammation. Consumption of curcumin from turmeric , as well as, Korean angelica extract and perhaps Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) can be used to turn off this pathway when it is a problem. Drugs, such as disulfiram, olmesartan and dithiocarbamates also do this. Likewise, consumption of luteolin from olives helps to suppress NF-alpha, as well as, interleuklin-1. Genistein in soy isoflavones helps prevent NF-kappaB activation by NF-alpha. In summary, a diet of turmeric, soy, olives, fish, and Korean angelica are some of the foods that may help chronic inflammation when used in conjunction with a healthy, balanced diet.
