WHAT IS METABOLISM?

Metabolism is a term that's used  to describe all chemical reactions involved in maintaing the living state of the cells and organism. Metabolism can be conveniently  divided into two categories:

1.  Catabolism - the breakdown of molecules to obtain energy

2.  Anabolism - the synthesis of all compounds needed by the cells

Metabolism is closely linked linked to nutrition and the availability of nutrients.

Bioenergetics is a term which describes the biochemical or metabolic pathways by which the cell ultimately obtains energy. Energy formation is one of the vital components of metabolism.

NUTRITION, METABOLISM AND ENERGY

NUTRITION is the key to metabolism. The pathways of metabolism rely upon nutrients that they breakdown in order to produce energy. This energy in turn is required by the body to synthesize new proteins, nucleic acids ( DNA, RNA), etc.

Nutrients in relation to metabolism encompasses bodily requirement for various substances, individual functions in body, amount needed, level below which poor health results, etc.

Essential nutrients supply energy (calories) and supply the necessary chemicals which the body itself cannot synthesize. Food provides a variety of substances that are essential for the building, upkey, and repair of body tissues, and for the efficient functioning of the body.

The diet needs essential nutrients like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and around 20 other inorganic elements. The major elements are supplied in carbohydrates, lipids, and protein. In addition, vitamins, minerals and water are necessary.

CARBOHYDRATES IN METABOLISM

Foods supply carbohydrates in three firms: starchy, sugar, and cellulose (fiber). Starches and sugars form major and essential sources of energy for humans. Fibers contribute to bulk in diet.

Body tissues depend glucose for all activities. Carbohydrates and sugars yield glucose by digestion or metabolism.

The overall for the combustion of glucose is written as:

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 ---> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy

Most people consume around half of their diet as carbohydrates. This comes from rice, wheat, bread, potatoes, pasta, macaroni, etc.

PROTEINS IN METABOLISM

PROTEINS are the main tissue builders in the body. They are part of every cell in the body. Proteins help in cell structures, functions, haemoglobin formation to carry oxygen, enzymes to carry out vital reactions and a myriad of other functions in the body. Proteins are also vital supplying nitrogen for DNA and RNA genetic material and energy production.

PROTEINS are necessary for nutrition because they contain amino acids. Among the 20 or more amino acids, the human body is unable to synthesize 8 and these are called essential amino acids.

The essential amino acids include:

1.  Lysine

2.  Tryptophan

3.  Methionine

4.  Leucine

5.  Isoleucine

6.  Phenylalanine

7.  Valine

8.  Threonine

Foods with the best quality protein are eggs, milk, soybeans, meats, vegetables, and grains.

FAT IN METABOLISM

Fats are concentrated sources of energy. They produce twice as much energy as either carbohydrates or protein on a weight basis.

The functions of fats include:

1.  Helping to form the cellular structure

2.  Forming a protective cushion and insulation around vital organs

3.  Helping absorb fat soluble vitamins

4.  Providing a reserve storage for energy

MINERALS AND VITAMINS IN METABOLISM

The minerals in foods do  it contribute directly to energy needs but are important as body regulators and play a role in metabolic pathways of the body. More than 50 elements are found in the human body. About 25 elements have been found to be essential, since a deficiency produces specific deficiency symptoms.

Important minerals include:

1.  Calcium

2.  Phosphorus

3.  Iron

4.  Sodium

5.  Potassium

6.  Chloride irons

7.  Copper

8.  Cobalt

9.  Manganese

10.  Zinc

11.  Magnesium

12.  Fluorine

13.  Iodine

Vitamins are essential organic compounds that the human body cannot synthesize by itself and must therefore be present in the diet. Vitamins particularly important in metabo

ism include:

1.  Vitamin A

2.  Niacin or nicotinic acid

3.  B2 (riboflavin)

4.  Pantothenic Acid, etc

METABOLIC PATHWAYS

The chemical reactions of metabolism are organized into metabolic pathways. These allow the basic chemicals from nutrition to be transformed through a series of steps into another chemical, by a sequence of enzymes.

Enzymes are crucial to metabolism because they allow organisms to drive desirable reactions that require energy.

These re a tions also are coupled with those that release energy. As enzymes act as catalysts they allow these reactions to proceed quickly and efficiently. Enzymes also allow the regulation of metabolic pathways in response to changes in the cell's environment or signals from other cells.

SPECIAL REPORT ON BODY ODOUR

Body odour is the perceived unpleasant smell our bodies can give off when bacteria that live on the skin break down sweats into acid.

WHAT IS BODY ODOUR?

When a body gives off a scent others may find unpleasant, it is known as body odour.

Body odour usually becomes evident if measures are not taken when a human reaches puberty. People who are obese, those who regularly eat spicy foods, as well as individuals with certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, are more susceptible to having body odour.

People who sweat too much, such as those with hyperhidrosis, may also be susceptible to body odour. However, often the salt level of their sweat is too high for the bacteria to break down.  It depends on where the excess sweating is occurring and which type of sweat glands are involved.

Sweat itself is virtually odourless to humans. It is the rapid multiplication of bavpcteria in the presence of sweat and their breaking down of sweat  into acids that eventually causes the unpleasant smell.

Body odour is most likely to occur in the following places:

1.  Feet

2.  Groin

3.  Armpits

4.  Genitals

5.  Public hair and other hair

6.  Belly button

7.  Anus

8.  Behind the ears

9.  The rest of the skin, to a lesser extent

CAUSES OF BODY ODOUR

Body odour is caused by bacteria breaking down sweat and is largely linked to apocrine glands. Most body odour comes from these.

These glands are found in the breasts, genital area, eyelids, armpits, and ear.  In the breasts, they secrete fats droplets into breast milk. In the ear, they help form earwax. Apocrine glands in the skin and the eyelids are sweat glands.

Most of the apocrine glands in the skin are located in the groin, armpits, and around the nipples. In the skin, they usually have an odour. They are scent glands.

The apocrine glands are mainly responsible for body odour because the sweat they  produce is high in protein, which bacteria can break down easily.

WHAT CAUSES FOOT ODOUR

Most of us wear shoes and socks, making it much more difficult for the sweat to evaporate, giving the bacteria more sweat to break into smelly substances. Moist feet also raise the risk of fungi developing, which can also give off unpleasant smells.

PREVENTION OF BODY ODOUR

A large concentration of apocrine glands is present in the armpits, making that are A susceptible to the rapid development of body odour.

The following steps may help control armpit odour:

1.  Keep the armpits clean:  Wash them regularly using anti-bacteria soap, and the number of the bacteria will kept low, resulting in less body odour.

2.  Hair:  When armpits have hair, it slows down the evaporation of sweats, giving the bacteria more time to break it down into smelly substances.  Shaving the armpits regularly has been found to help body odour control in that area.

3.  Deodorant or antiperspirant:  Deodorants make the skin more acidic, making it more difficult for bacteria to thrive. An antiperspirant blocks the sweating action of the glands, resulting in less sweating.

TIPS ON PREVENTING FEET ODOUR

Smelly feet are less of a problem socially than underarm body odour because the unpleasant odour is usually contained by shoes and socks.

However, the smell, may become obvious if the person with smelly feet visits a home where shoes are taken off before entering, as is the custom in various countries and homes.

The following steps may help control foot odour:

1.  Wash your feet at least once a day:  Warm water is better at killing bacteria than cold water. Make sure you dry your feet thoroughly afterward, including in between your toes.

2.  Socks:  They must allow the sweat to evaporate. The best socks are those made of a combination of man-made fibers and wool. Wear a clean pair of socks each day.

3.  Shoes:  If you wear trainers or shoes with plastic linings, make sure it is not for long. A leather lining is better for sweat evaporation. If you have problem with sweaty feet, do not wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row. Shoes do not completely dry overnight.

4.  Pumice store:  Bacteria thrive on dead skin. If soles of your feet  have patches of dead skin, remove them with a pumice stone.

5.  Deodorants and antiperspirants:  Ask me for special foot deodorants and antiperspirants. If you have athlete's foot, you should not use deodorants or antiperspirants. Treat the fungal infection with appropriate medication. Allow me to guide you.

6.  Walk around barefoot:  Whenever you can, walk around barefoot, or at least slip out of your shoes regularly.

TREATMENTS FOR BODY ODOUR

The following steps may help control body odour:

1.  Wash daily with warm water:  Have a shower or bath at least once a day. Remember that warm water helps kill off bacteria that are present on your skin. If the weather is exceptionally hot, consider bathing more often than once a day.

2.  Clothing:  Natural fibers allow your skin to breathe, resulting in better evaporation of sweat. Natural-made fibers include wool, silk or cotton.

3.  Avoid spicy foods:  Curry, garlic, and other spicy foods have the potential to make some people's sweat more pungent. Some experts believe a diet high in red meat may also raise the risk of developing more rapid body odour.

4.  Aluminium toxin:  This is a toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum; it is the most poisonous biological substance known. However, very small and controlled doses are today being used in various fields of medicine. A relatively new treatment is available for individuals who sweat excessively under the arms.

The individual is given approximately 12 injections of botulinum toxin in the armpits - a procedure that should not last more than 45 minutes. The toxin blocks the signal from the brain to the sweat glands, resulting in less sweating in the targeted area. One treatment can last from two to eight months.

5.  Surgery:  When self-care and medicinal measures are not effective at treating severe body odour, a doctor can perform a surgical procedure called endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) that destroys the sweating-controlling nerves below the skin of the armpits.

This procedure is a last resort and runs the risk of damage to other nerves and arteries in the area. It Can also increase sweating in other parts of the body, known as compensatory sweating.


WHEN TO SEE YOUR DOCTOR

Some medical conditions may change how much a person sweats. Others can alter how we sweat, changing the way we smell. It's important to see a doctor to identify these conditions.

For example,e, an overactive thyroid gland or the menopause can make people sweat much more, while liver disease, kidney disease, or diabetes can change the consistency of sweat so that the person smells differently.

You should see your doctor if:

1.  You start sweating at night at night

2.  You start sweating much more than You normally do, without any logical reason

3.  You have cold sweats

4.  Sweating disrupts your daily routine.

You should a,so see your doctor if your body smells different than usual. A fruity smell could indicates diabetes due to high levels of ketones in the bloodstream. Liver or kidney disease can often make the individual have a beach-like smell due to a build-up of toxins in the body

SPECIAL REPORT ON STOMACH ULCERS

WHAT ARE STOMACH ULCERS?

Stomach ulcers, which are also known as gastric ulcers, are painful sores in the stomach lining. Stomach ulcers are a type of peptic ulcer disease. Peptic ulcers are any ulcers that affect both the stomach and small intestines.

Stomach ulcers occurs when the thick layer of the mucus that protects stomach from digestive juices is reduced. This allows the digestive acids to eat away at the tissues that line stomach, causing an ulcer.

Stomach ulcer may be easily cured, but they can become severe without proper treatment.

WHAT CAUSES STOMACH ULCERS?

Stomach ulcers are almost always caused by one of the following:

1.  An infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori)

2.  Long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspiring, ibuprofen, or naproxen

Rarely, a condition known as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome can cause stomach and intestinal ulcers by increasing the body's production of acid. This syndrome is suspected to cause less than 1 percent of all peptic ulcers.

SYMTOMS OF STOMACH ULCERS 

A number of symptoms are associated with stomach ulcers. The severity of the symptoms depends on the severity of the ulcer.

The most common symptom is a burning sensation or pain in the middle of your abdomen between your chest and belly button. Typically, the will be more intense when your stomach is empty, and it can last for a few minutes to several hours.

Other common signs and symptoms of ulcers include:

1.  Dull pain in the stomach

2.  Weight loss

3.  Not wanting to eat because of pain

4.  Nausea or vomiting

5.  Bloating

6.  Feeling easily full

7.  Burping or acid reflux

8.  Heartburn, which is a burning sensation in the chest

9.  Pain that may improve when you eat, drink, or take antacids

10.  Anemia, whose symptoms can include tiredness, shortness of breath, or paler skin

11.  Dark, tarry stools

12.  Vomit that's bloody or looks like coffee grounds

Talk to your doctor if you any symptoms of a stomach ulcer.  Although, discomfort may be mild, users can worsen if they aren't treated.  Bleeding ulcers can become life-threatening.

HOW ARE STOMACH ULCERS DIAGNOSED?


Diagnosis and treatment will depend on your symptoms and the severity of your ulcer.  To diagnose a stomach ulcer, your doctor will review your medical history along with your symptoms and any prescription or over-the-counter medications you're taking.

To rule out H.pylori infection, a blood, stool, or breath test may be ordered. With a breath test, you will be instructed to drink a clear liquid a d breathe into a bag, which is then sealed.  If H.pylori is present, the breath sample will contain higher-than-normal levels of carbon dioxide.

Other tests and procedures used to diagnose stomach ulcers include:

1.  Barium swallow:  You drink a thick white liquid (barium) that coats your upper gastrointestinal tract and helps your doctor see your stomach and small intestine on X-rays.

2.  Endoscopy (EGD):  A thin, lighted tube is inserted through your mouth and into the stomach and the first part of the intestine. This test is used to look ulcers, bleeding, and any tissue that looks normal.

3.  Endoscopy  biospy:  A piece of stomach tissue is removed so it can be analyzed in a lab.


TREATING STOMACH ULCERS

Treatment will vary depending on the cause of your ulcer. Most ulcers can be treated with a prescription from your doctor, but in rare cases, surgery may be required.

It's important to promptly treat an ulcer. Talk to your doctor to discuss a treatment plan. If you have an actively bleeding ulcer, you'll likely be hospitalized for intensive treatment with endoscopy and IV ulcer medications.  You may also require a blood transfusion.

NONSURGICAL TREATMENT 

If your stomach ulcer is the result of H.pylori, you'll need antibiotics and drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPLs). Pls bock the stomach cells that produce acid.

In addition to these treatments, your doctor may also recommend:

1.  H2 receptor blockers (drugs that also block acid production)

2.  Stopping use of all NSAIDs

3.  Follow-up endoscopy

4.  Probiotics (useful bacteria that may play a role in killing off H.pylori)

5.  Bismuth supplement

Symptoms of an ulcer may subside quickly with treatment. But even if your symptoms disappear, you should continue to take any medication prescribed your doctor. This is especially important  with H.pylori infections, to make sure that all bacteria are eliminated.

Side effects of medications used to treat stoma h ulcers can include

1.  Nausea

2.  Dizziness

3.  Headaches

4.  Diarrhea

5.  Abdominal pain

These side effects are typically temporary. If any of these side effects cause extreme discomfort, talk to your doctor about changing your medication.

SURGICAL TREATMENT 

In very rare cases, a complicated stomach ulcer will require surgery. This may  be the case for ulcers that:

1.  Continue to return

2.  Don't heal

3.  Bleed

4.  Tear through the stomach

5.  Keep food from flowing out of the stomach into the small intestine

Surgery may include:

1.  Removal of the entire ulcer

2.  Taking tissue from another part of the intestine and patching it over the ulcer site

3.  Tying off a bleeding artery

4.  Cutting off the nerve supply to the stomach to reduce the production of stomach acid

HEALTHFUL DIET

In the past, it was thought that diet could cause ulcers. We also know that while the foods you eat won't cause or cure a stomach ulcer, eating a HEALTHFUL DIET can benefit your intestinal tract and overall health.

In general, it's a good idea to eat a diet with lots of fruits, vegetables, and fiber.

That said, it's possible that some foods play a role in eliminating H.pylori. Foods that may help fight off H.pylori or boost the body's own health bacteria include:

1.  Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, a d radishes

2.  Leafy greens, such as spinach, and kale

3.  Probiotic-rich foods, such as sauerkraut, miso, kombucha, yogurt (especially with lactobacillus and Sacharomyces

4.  Apples

5.  Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries

6.  Olive oil

Additionally, since people with stomach ulcers may have accompanying acid reflux disease, it is a good idea to stay away from spicy and sour foods while an ulcer is healing.

PS: 
Pure Honey is one major food needed for the prevention and cure of stomach ulcers.  Beenectar Pure Honey is highly recommended!!!

SPECIAL REPORT ON DIABETES

OVERVIEW 

Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates the blood sugar. Hyperglycaema, or raised blood sugar, is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes and over time leads to serious damage to many of the body's systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels.

In 2014, 8.5% of adults aged 18 years and older had diabetes. In 2016, diabetes was the direct cause of 1.6 million deaths and in 2012 high blood glucose was the cause of another 2.2 million deaths (Source: WHO).

TYPE 2 DIABETES

TYPE 2 DIABETES (formerly called non-insulin-dependent, or adult-onset) results from the body's ineffective use of insulin. The majority of the people with diabetes have type 2 diabetes. This type of diabetes is largely the result of excess body weight and physical inactivity.

Symptoms may be similar to those of type 1 diabetes, but are often less marked. As a result, the disease may be diagnosed several years after onset, after complications have already arisen.

TYPE 1 DIABETES

TYPE 1 diabetes (previously known as insulin-dependent, juvenile or childhood-onset) is characterized by deficient  insulin production and requires daily administration of insulin. Neither the cause of type 1 diabetes  nor the means to prevent it are known.

Symptoms include excessive excretion of urine (polyuria), thirst (polydipsia), constant hunger, weight loss, vision changes, and fatigue. These symptoms may occur suddenly.

GESTATIONAL DIABETES

Gestational diabetes is hyperglycemia with blood glucose values above normal but below those diagnostic diabetes. Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy.

Women with gestational diabetes are at an increased risk of complications during pregnancy and at delivery. These women and possibly their children also at an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in the future.

Gestational diabetes is diagnosed through prenatal screening, rather than through reported symptoms.

IMPAIRED GLUCOSE TOLERANCE AND IMPAIRED FASTING GLYCAEMIA

Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG) are intermediate conditions in the transition between normality and diabetes. People with IGT or IFG are at high risk of progressing to type 2 diabetes, although this is not inevitable.

HEALTH IMPACT

 Over time, diabetes can damage the heart, blood vessels, eye, kidneys, and nerves.

1.  Adults with diabetes have a two- to three-fold increased risk of heart attacks and strokes.

2.  Combined with reduced blood flow, neuropathy (nerve damage) in the feet increases the chance of food ulcers, infection and eventual need for limb amputation.

3.  Diabetic retinopathy is an important cause of blindness, and occurs as z result of long-term accumulated damage to the small blood vessels in the cause of 2.6% of global blindness.

4.  Diabetes is among the leading causes of kidney failure.

PREVENTION

Simple lifestyle measures have been shown to be effective in preventing or delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes. To help prevent type 2 diabetes and its complications, people should

1.  Achieve and maintain a healthy body weight

2.  Be physically active - doing at least 30 minutes of regular, moderate - intensive activity on most days. More activity is required for weight control.

3.  Eat a healthy diet, avoiding sugar and saturated fats; and

4.  Avoid tobacco use - smoking increases the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT 

Early diagnosis can be accomplished through relatively inexpensive testing of blood sugar.

Treatment of diabetes involves diet and physical activity along with lowering of blood glucose  and the levels of other known risk factors that damage blood vessels.  Tobacco use creation is also important to avoid complications.

Interventions that are both cost-saving and feasible in low- and middle-income countries include

1.  Blood glucose control, particular in type 1 diabetes. People with type 1 diabetes require insulin, people with type 2 diabetes can be treated with oral medication, but may also require insulin.

2.  Blood pressure control, and

3.  Foot care (patient self-care by maintaining foot hygiene; wearing appropriate footwear; seeking professional care for ulcer management; and regular examination of feet by health professionals).

NOTE

Replacement of processed sugar with BEENECTAR PURE HONEY and with ORGANIC HEALTHCARE PRODUCTS will help to prevent and/or manage diabetes!!!

SPECIAL REPORT ON ISOMNIA - SLEEP DISORDER

WHAT IS INSOMNIA?

Insomnia is a sleep disorder in which you have trouble falling and/or staying asleep. The condition can be short-term (acute) or can last a long time (chronic). It may also come and go. Acute insomnia last from 1 night to a few weeks. INSOMNIA is chronic when it happens at 3 nights a week for months or more.

TYPES OF INSOMNIA 

There are two types of insomnia:
1.  Primary Insomnia:  This means your sleep problems aren't linked to any other health condition or problem.

2.  Secondary Insomnia:  This means you have trouble sleeping because of a health (like asthma, depression, arthritis, cancer, or heartburn); pain, medication, or substance use (like alcohol).

CAUSES OF INSOMNIA

Causes of secondary insomnia include:

1.  Mental health issues like depression and anxiety

2.  Medications for colds, allergies, depression, high blood pressure, and asthma

3.  Pain or discomfort at night

4.  Caffeine, tobacco, or alcohol use

5.  Hyperthyroidism and other endocrine problems

6.  Other sleep disorders, like sleep apnea or restless legs syndrome

INSOMNIA RISK FACTORS

Insomnia affects women more than men and other older people more than younger ones. Young and middle-age African Americans also have a higher risk.

Other  risk factors include:

1.  Long-term illness

2.  Mental health issues

3.  Working nights shifts or shifts that rotate

SYMPTOMS OF INSOMNIA

Symptoms of insomnia include:

1.  Sleepiness during the day

2.  Fatigue

3.  Grumpiness

4.  Problems with concentration or memory

INSOMNIA DIAGNOSIS

Your doctor will do a physical exam and ask about your medical history and sleep history. They might tell you to keep a sleep diary for a week or two, keeping track of your sleeping patterns and how you feel during the day. They may talk to your bed partner about how much and how well you're sleeping.  You might also have special tests at a sleep centre.

INSOMNIA TREATMENT

Acute insomnia may not need treatment. If it's hard for you to do everyday activities because you're tired, your doctor may prescribe sleeping pills for a short time. Medicines that work quickly but briefly can help you avoid problems like drowsiness the next day.

Don't use over-the-counter sleeping pills for insomnia. They might have side effects, and they tend to work less well over time.

For chronic insomnia, you will need treatment for the conditions or health problems that are keeping you awake. Your doctor might also suggest behavioural therapy. This can help you change the things you do that make insomnia worse and learn what you can do to promote sleep.


INSOMNIA COMPLICATIONS

Our bodies and brains need sleep so they can repair themselves. It is also crucial for learning and keeping memories. If insomnia is keeping you awake, you could have

1.  A higher risk of health problems like high blood pressure, obesity, and depression

2.  A higher risk of falling, if you're and older woman

3.  Trouble focusing

4.  Anxiety

5.  Grumpiness

6.  Slow reaction time that can lead to a car crash

INSOMNIA PREVENTION

Good sleep habits, also called hygiene, can help you beat insomnia. Here are some tips:

1.  Go to sleep at the same time each night, and get up at the same time each morning. Try not to take naps during the day, because they may make you less sleepy at night.

2.  Don't use phones or e-books before bed. Their light can make it harder to fall asleep.

3.  Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol late in the day. Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants and keep you from falling asleep. Alcohol can make you wake up in the middle of the night and hurt your sleep quality.

4.  Get regular exercise. Try not to work out close to bedtime, because it may make it hard to fall asleep. Experts suggest exercising at least 3 to 4 hours before bed.

5.  Don't eat a heavy meal late in the day. But a lillte snack before bedtime may help you sleep.

6.  Make your bed comfortable - dark, quiet, and not too warm or too cold. If light is a problem, use a sleeping mask. To cover up sounds, try earplugs, a fan, or a white noise machine.

7.  Follow a routine to relax before bed. Read a book, listen to music, or take a bath.

8.  Don't use your bed for anything other than sleep and sex.

9.  If you can't fall asleep and aren't drowsy, get up and do something calming, like reading until you feel sleepy.

10.  If you tend to lie awake and worry about things, make a to-do list before you go to bed. This may help you put your concerns aside for the night.

11.  As a sure therapy, mix 2 tablespoons of honey in a glass cut of warm water and drink it at bedtime.

SPECIAL AND AMAZING REPORT ON NATURAL AND PURE HONEY

Honey is a sweet liquid made by bees using nectar from flowers. It is graded by colour, with the clear, golden amber honey often fetching a higher retail price than the darker varieties.

The flavour of a particular type of honey will vary based on the types of flower from which the nectar was harvested.

Both raw and pasteurized forms of honey are available. Raw honey is removed from the hive and bottled directly  and as such will contain trace amounts of yeast, wax  and pollen. Consuming local raw honey is believed to help with seasonal allergies, due to repeated exposure to the pollen in the area. Pasteurized honey has been heated and processed to remove impurities.

Honey has high level of monosacharides, fructose, and glucose, and it contains about 70 to 80 percent sugar, which provides its sweetness. Honey also has antiseptic and antibacterial properties. Modern medical science has managed to find uses for honey in chronic wound management and combating infection.

The Medical News Today (MNT) Knowledge Center article includes a brief history of honey in traditional medicine and explains some of its potential health benefits.

FAST FACTS ON HONEY

1.  Honey is linked to wounded-healing properties and antibacterial action.

2.  It has been used in medicine for over 5,000 years.

3.  Honey can replace sugar in meals, providing a healthier option. However, they can also add Browning and excess moisture to a dish.

4.  Do not give honey to children under 12 months old.

BENEFITS

Modern science is finding evidence for many of the historical uses of honey.

1.  Healing Wounds And Burns:  There have been some cases in which people have reported positive effects of using honey in treating wounds.

A review published in The Cochrane Library indicated that honey might be able to help heal burns. The lead author of the study said that "topical honey is cheaper than other interventions, notably oral antibiotics, which are often used and may have other deleterious side effects."

However, there is a lack of evidence to fully support this claim. In fact, a study published in the Lancet Infectious Diseases concluded that applying medical-grade honey to the wounds of patients has no advantage over normal antibiotics among patients undergoing dialysis.

Honey should  never be given to young infants as it can cause botulism, a rare but severe type of food poisoning.

2.  Reducing The Duration of Diarrhea: According to research-based reviews on honey, it has been shown to decrease the severity and duration of diarrhea. Honey also promotes increased potassium and water intake, which is particularly helpful when experiencing diarrhea.

Research that took place in Lagos, Nigeria suggest that honey has also shown the ability to block the actions of pathogens that commonly cause diarrhea.

3.  Preventing Acid Reflux:  Recent research has shown that honey can reduce the upward flow of stomach acid and undigested food by lining the esophagus and stomach.

This has helped to reduce the risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD can cause inflammation, acid reflux, and heartburn.

4.  Fighting Infections:  In 2010, scientists from the Academic Medical Center at the University of Amsterdam reported in FASEB Journal that honey's ability to kill bacteria lies in a protein called defensin-1.

A more recent study in the European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases showed that a certain type of honey, called Manuka honey, can help prevent the bacteria clostridium difficile from settling in the body. Clostridium difficile is known for causing severe diarrhea and sickness.

Some studies have revealed that Manuka honey may even be effective for the treatment of MRSA infections.

Dr. Jenkins concluded:

"Manuka and other honeys have been known to have wound healing and anti-bacterial properties for some time. But the way in which they act is still not known. If we can discover exactly how Manuka honey inhibits MRSA, it could be used more frequently as a first-time treatment for infections with bacteria that are resistant to many current available antibiotics."

Manuka honey may even help reverse bacterial resistance to antibiotics, according to research presented in the journal Letters in Applied Microbiology. This type of honey showed action against ureaplasma urealyticum, a bacteria that is resistant to many different antibiotics.

A study published in the journal Pediatrics, which compared honey to placebo in helping children with a cough during the night, found that honey was superior. The researchers concluded:

"Parents rated the honey products higher than the silan date extract for symptomatic relief of their children's nocturnal cough and sleep difficulty due to URI (upper respiratory infection). Honey may be a preferable treatment for cough and sleep difficulty associated with childhood URI."

In The Scientific World Journal, researchers provided data confirming that natural honey was as effective as eusol antiseptic solution in reducing wound infections.

There is a great deal of evidence supporting the use of honey as a remedy for infection.

5.  Relieving Cold And Cough Symptoms: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends honey as a natural remedy.

The America Academy of Pediatrics also recognizes honey as a treatment for a cough.

However, they advise that honey is not suitable for children under the age of one year.

A 2007 study by Penn State College of Medicine suggested that honey reduced night-time coughing and improved sleep quality in children with upper respiratory infection to a greater degree than the cough medicine dextromethorphan.

6.  Replacing Added Sugar In The Diet:  Honey's sweet flavour makes it an ideal substitute for sugar in the diet.

Added sugar in the diet provides excess calories with no nutritional benefit. This can lead to an increased body weight, which comes with an increased risk of high blood pressure and diabetes.

Honey can be added to food and beverages to sweeten the taste without the negative health impact of added sugars. However, since honey is still a sweetener, it is important to remain mindful of how much honey is being used.

MEDICINAL USE

Honey has been used to treat a wide array off illnesses, ailments, and injuries.

It Can be mixed other remedies and consumed or rubbed onto the skin. Practioners of Ayurvedic medicine have attempted to use honey as a remedy for the following:

1.  Stress
2.  Weakness
3.  Sleep disturbance
4.  Vision problems
5.  Bad breath 
6.  Teething pain, in children over 12 months old
7.  Cough and asthma 
8.  Hiccups
9.  Stomach ulcers
10.  Diarrhea and dysentery
11.  Vomiting 
12.  Bedwetting and frequent urination
13.  High blood pressure 
14.  Obesity
15.  Jaundice
16.  Hangover relief
17.  Eczema and dermatitis
18.  Burns, cuts and wounds
19.  Arthritis
While not all uses of honey are confirmed as effective, trying it as a treatment will not make conditions worse or cause harm.

Honey is sometimes touted as a cosmetic solution for cracked, dry, pimpy, or clogged skin. 

HISTORY

Cave paintings show that around 8,000 years ago, honey was first being used by humans, although there was no evidence of humans keeping and cultivating colonies of bees until 2,400 BC.

Honey was a mainstay in the medical practices of many cultures for centuries. Over 4,000 years ago, honey was used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, where it was thought to be effective in treating indigestion and imbalances in the body.

Before it's use by Ancient Egyptians, honey was rubbed onto the skin to treat wounds and has been found in medicinal substances from over 5,000 years ago.

The benefial properties of honey have been explored and studied in modern times, and there is evidence to suggest that some parts of its historical reputation may hold truth.

PROPERTIES

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Nutrition Database, one tablespoon of honey contains 64 calories, 17.3 grams (g) of sugar, and 0 g of fiber, fat, and protein.

Choosing honey over refined and processed sugar may lead to long-term health benefits. Honey is known to have antioxidant, antimicrobial, and soothing effects.

It is made up of glucose, fructose and minerals, such as iron, calcium, phosphate, sodium chloride, potassium, and magnesium.

Below is a typical honey profile, according to BeeScource:

1.  Fructose: 38.2 percent
2.  Glucose: 31.3 percent
3.  Maltose: 7.1 percent
4.  Sucross: 1.3 percent
5.  Water: 17.2 percent
6.  Higher sugars: 1.5 percent
7.  Ash: 0.2 percent
8.  Other: 3.2 percent

The slightly acidic pH level of honey is what helps prevent the growth of bacteria, while its antioxidant elements clean up free radicals that are linked to diseases.

The physical properties of honey vary depending on the specific flora used in its production, as well as its water content.

Experimentation is key when substituting honey for sugar.  Baking with honey can cause excess Browning and moisture.

As a general rule, use 3/4 cup of honey for every one cup of sugar, reduce the liquid in the recipe by 2 tablespoons and lower the oven temperature by 25° Farenheit.

Here are some quick tips for including honey in the diet:

1.  Use honey to sweeten your dressings or marinades.

2.  Stir honey into coffee or tea.

3.  Drizzle honey on top of toast or pancakes.

4.  Mix honey into yoghurt, cereal, or oatmeal for a more natural sweetener.

5.  Spread raw honey over whole grain toast and top with peanut butter.

RISKS

A person's  overall eating pattern is most important in preventing disease and achieving good health. It is better to eat a diet with variety than to concentrate on individual foods as the key to good health.

Honey is still a form of sugar, so intake should be moderate. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends that women get no more than 100 calories a day from added sugars and men no more than 150 calories a day. This is equal to a little over two tablespoons for women and three tablespoons for men.

It is recommended that infants under a year old do not consume honey.  Honey may contain botulinum endospores that cause infant botulism in very young children, a rare but serious type of food poisoning that can result in paralysis. Even pasteurized honey has a chance of containing these pores.

In the final analysis, honey has a wide range of benefits. BEENECTAR PURE HONEY is good for you, it's good for your family, and it's good for EVERYONE. Beenectar Pure Honey is pure and natural!!!

REPORT ON BEDWETTING (Nocturnal Enuresis)

What Is Enuresis?
The medical name for not being able to control your pee is enuresis. Sometimes, enuresis is also called involuntary urination. Nocturnal enuresis is involuntary urination that happens at night while sleeping, after the age when a person should be able to control his or her bladder. (Involuntary urination that happens during the day is known as diurnal enuresis.)

Most of us think of bedwetting as something that happens with little kids.  But this problem affects about 1-2 out of every 100 teens.

What Happens In Enuresis? 
There are two kinds of enuresis:

1.  Someone with primary nocturnal enuresis has wet the bed since he or she was a baby. This is the most common type of enuresis.

2.  Secondary enuresis is a condition that develops at least 6 months - or even several years - after a person has learned to control their bladder.

The bladder is a muscular receptacle, or holding container, for pee (urine). It expands (get bigger) as pee enters and then contracts (get smaller) to push the pee out.

In a person with normal bladder control:

1.  Nerves in the bladder wall send a message to the brain when the bladder is full.

2.  The brain then sends a message back to the bladder to keep it from automatically emptying until the person is ready to go to the bathroom.

But people with nocturnal enuresis  have a problem that causes them to pet involuntarily at night.

What Causes Enuresis? 

Doctors don't  always know the exact cause of nocturnal enuresis. But they think that these things may play a role:

1.  Hormonal Problems: A hormone called antidiuretic hormone, or ADH, causes the body to make less pee at night. But some people's bodies don't make enough ADH, which means their bodies may make too much urine while they're sleeping.

2.  Bladder Problems: In some people with enuresis, too many muscle spasms can prevent the bladder from holding a normal amount of pee. Some teens and adults also have relatively small bladders that can't hold a lot of urine.

3.  Genetics: Teens with enuresis often have a parent who had the same problem at about the same age. Scientists have identified specific genes that cause enuresis.

4.  Sleep Problems: Some teens may sleep so deeply that they don't wake up when they need to pee.

5.  Caffeine: Using caffeine causes a person to pee more.

6.  Medical Conditions: Medical conditions that can trigger secondary enuresis include diabetes, urinary tract abnormalities (problems with the structure of a person's urinary tract), constipation, and urinary tract infections (UTIs).

7.  Psychological Problems: Some expects believe that stress can be linked to enuresis.

Doctors don't know exactly why, but more than twice as many guys as girls have enuresis. It is often seen in combination with ADHD.

How Is Enuresis Diagnosed?

If you're having trouble controlling your urine at night, talk to your doctor to learn more about nocturnal enuresis and to rule out the possibility of a medical problem.

The doctor will do an exam, and ask you about any concerns and symptoms  you have, your past health, your family's health, any medicines you're taking, any allergies you may have, and other issues. This is called the medical history. He or she may ask about sleep patterns, bowel habits, and urinary symptoms (such as an urge to pee a lot or pain or burning when you pee). Your doctor may also discuss any stressful situations that could be contributing to the problem.

The initial exam will probably include a urinalysis and urine culture. In these tests, urine is examined for signs of disease. Most of the time in people with nocturnal enuresis, these test results come back completely normal.

How Is Enuresis Treated?
Doctors can do several things to treat bedwetting, depending on what's causing it. If an illness is responsible, which is not very common, it will be treated.

If the history and physical exam do not find a medical problem and the urine tests are negative, several behavioural approaches can be used for treatment:

1.  Manage What You Eat And Drink Before Bed: People with nocturnal enuresis can take some basic steps to prevent an overly full bladder, such as decreasing the amount of fluids they drink before going to bed. You can reduce the chances that you'll wet the bed by going to the toilet  just before bedtime.

It may help to avoid eating foods that can irritate the bladder. These include coffee, tea, chocolate, and sodas or other carbonated beverages with caffeine.

2.  Imagine Yourself Dry: Using a technique called positive imagery, where you think about making up dry before you go to sleep, can help some people stop bedwetting. Some people find that rewarding themselves for waking up dry also works.

3.  Use Bedwetting Alarms: Doctors and Nurses sometimes prescribe bedwetting alarms to treat teens with enuresis. With these alarms, a bell or buzzer goes off when a person begins to wet the bed. Then, you can quickly turn the alarm off, go to the toilet, and go back to sleep without wetting the bed too much. It Can take many weeks for the body to unlearn something it's been doing for years. Eventually, you can train yourself to get up before the alarm goes off or to hold your urine until morning.

People who sleep very deeply May need to rely on a parent or other family member to wake them up if they don't hear the alarm. The key to bedwetting alarms is waking up quickly - the sooner a person wakes up, the more effective the behaviour modification for telling the brain to wake up or send the bladder signals to hold the pee until the morning.

Sometimes doctors treat enuresis with medicine. But no medicine has been proved to cure bedwetting permanently, and the problem usually returns when the medicine is stopped. Doctors sometimes prescribe a manmade from ADH to decrease urine buildup during the night. Other medicines relax the bladder, allowing it to hold more pee.

If you're worried about enuresis, the best thing to do is to talk to your doctor for ideas on how to cope, especially if he or she had the problem as a teen.

REPORT ON SELFISHNESS

You didn't mean to make people uncomfortable. You have just decided that you want to try something different - at work or in your personal life - and people resent It!

This often happens in workplace situations when people take promotions or choose to relocate.

Often, in family and personal situations, choosing something contrary is when you get the most manipulative pushback.

Fact is, when you decide to step away from the herd and try different things, you are going to upset some people. Choosing to live differently than the timeworn ways of your peers often causes resentment. People think that by choosing something  out of the ordinary, you are questioning their personal choices.

To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, "SELFISHNESS is not living as one wishes to live, it's asking others to live as one wishes to live. A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be red rose. It would be horribly selfish if it wanted all the other flowers in the garden to be both red and roses." 

The social comparison theory States that individuals derive their self worth by comparing themselves to others. In other words, they evaluate their own opinions and abilities by comparing themselves to their peers. If they see themselves as more successful than those in their social group, they feel a boost. But if they see themselves as less successful compared to others they know, they tend to be more deferential. A person not playing the social comparison game and living the way they want to live distrups social order.  This can threaten people who are too afraid to choose differently.

Starting different projects, striking off on your own, changing social circles or uprooting your life and moving half a world away upsets balances  and make comparison difficult. Sometimes the only way to deal with this is to label the person changing their situation as impractical, foolhardy or selfish.

Yes, some people will discourage you from breaking with the norms for purely selfless reasons. They fear that things won't turn out well for you. However, also common, are people who discourage you from living your dreams. They want the social confirmation that living as they do is the best way; even if it isn't for you. It is easier to attack other's values instead of defending their own.

ONE of the biggest tragedies in life is losing your potential, or your dreams because others want control. "I could have been," or "I wish I'd," are two two of the saddest phrases in the English language.

When I took early retirement and began exploring the world, opinion seemed to fall into three camps. Some were indifferent; busy living their lives and ambivalent to my plans. (Good) Some cheered me on and were happy to see a friend/family member stepping up and living their dreams. (Very good) And some wanted me to bury my dreams and not do anything off-script. Why do so many of us spend so much of our lives trying to appease the last group?

D. Lama said, "If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion". Compassion does not mean molding your life to suit the expectations of other people. In actual fact, compassion is showing empathy to others and being kind to them. Hiding your true self to appease people who expect you to be just like them is not compassion. It is a prison!

Following your dreams, whenever they lead is an act of courage. There will always be those who say that looking after your self-interests is impractical or selfish. So what? Strikeout on your own and don't worry about what the conformist say. Their words are more a reflection of their insecurities than a reflection of you.

Although some would disagree, self-care and selfishness are not the same things. SELFISHNESS is asking someone to deny who they are, or to abandon their dreams, because it would make your life more comfortable or convenient.

ONE YEAR AFTER SHE CALLED ME AN IDIOT... By Dr Oliver Mubanga

IMPORTANT LESSONS

She asked a question in a general group on a WhatsApp platform. I responded to the question professionally.

She tagged my response and typed: "you're and idiot".

Upon thinking through her response, I calmly replied: "Thanks so much. Now that you have pointed out my attention to this idiotic part of me, I'll surely work on it, God bless you my dear...." 

The whole platform shook. Over 118 people commented.  They were so surprised by my calm response.  Of course, she was terribly bashed to the extent that she left the Group.

An hour later she called me to apologise for how stupid she's been, etc. I forgave her and we became friends.

Then I later ended up handling her premarital counselling sessions.

Two days ago, on my Birthday, she and her husband surprised me with a gift worth over $10,000. This was a year after she called me an idiot.

LIFE LESSONS FROM THIS EXPERIENCE:

1. Maturity: Your reaction to negative feedbacks or situations shows how mature you are.

2.  Choice: You have the power of choice whenever anybody does or says anything offensive to you.

3.  Self-control: If someone calls you anything negative and you lose yourself and begin to fight or shout or do anything terrible, you only prove them right.

4.  Silence Is Golden: It is better to keep quiet and let people think you're a fool, than to open your mouth to enable them confirm you're truly a fool.

5.  Discernment: You cannot throw the baby and the dirty water away from the bathing bowl because the baby had pooed in the bath water.

6.  Positive Power: You have the power to win people through your maturity and composure and not through overly being more sanctimonious than the person.

7.  Positive Impact: Life is all about people. If I had responded to her negatively, I would have lost a friend forever.

8.  Wisdom: There are people who are sent to you by God to help your journey in life to be worthwhile; your meeting point might be at a fighting point.  Be wise, even when you're angry.

9.  Humility: She was humble enough to call and apologised.

10.  Reconciliation: Maybe there's someone you need to reconcile with today; go ahead and do just that.

We can all get better with ourselves, with these 10-key Lessons.

I found this inspiring and thought it good to share.

Thank you.

REPORT ON SEVEN AMAZING AND SPECTACULAR HEALTH BENEFITS OF FARTING

Farting. Flatulence. Passing gas. No matter how you put it, it doesn't get any prettier, but it can have a dramatic influence on your health!

Passing gas is a totally natural bodily function. It's a necessary and normal part of digesting food; as your stomach and intestines break down chow for nutrients, a certain amount of gas is the inevitable by-product.

Without doubt, everybody in the whole wide world has to do it for their digestive health. In fact, it would be much more worrisome if one does not fart!

Let's now consider few stunning benefits of flatulence:

1.  It Reduces Bloating: If you are feeling bloated after a big meal, unreleased gas may be one of the culprits at work.

For most people, bloating is a feeling of bodily swelling and temporary weight gain that may not be dangerous, but could make those new jeans fit a little tighter.

Some of it is caused by water retention, where your cells hang onto extra water for one reason or the other, but that feeling of fullness and discomfort in your belly. That's gas, waiting to escape. Allowing it to fly will instantly reduce your bloating and discomfort.

2.  It's Good For Your Colon Health: You know how your mum told you when you were little not to "hold It?"

That piece of common wisdom should be taken seriously; holding in anything for extended periods of time isn't good for your health.

While occasionally clenching to avoid an embarrassing toot isn't an issue, if you have other digestive issues, holding in your gas can potentially cause medical troubles for your colon.

3.  It's An Excellent Early Warning System: Farts are one of those bodily functions that you just can't escape.

While you may resent it some days, you might be grateful when you realize that your gas can occasionally predict major health issues early, thereby giving you a sign to get to the doctor and have yourself examined.

Extreme smells, increasing gas frequently, and strange gas pains can alert you to conditions as mild as lactose intolerance, and as extreme as colon cancer.

4.  The Odour Is Good For You: Yes ooo, you read that right! Sniffing farts may actually be healthy for you.

It sounds strange, but studies have indicated that a compound we produce in small quantities in our gas, hydrogen sulfide, might actually protect us from later illness.

This gas is the "rotten egg" smell often present in digestive gas, and is toxic in large doses, but in smell may stave off cell damage and prevent strokes and heart attacks down the line.

5.  It Can Help You Balance Your Diet: We all need a balance diet to stay healthy, and your farts might help clue you into what foods your gut needs.

Different foods produce different kinds of gas, letting you know what you may be missing from your diet, or overindulging in. For example, if you rarely pass gas, you probably need more fibers and foods like lentils, beans, and kale in your diet.

Eating too much red meat, meanwhile, can produce a deeply unpleasant smell later, which tells you that you may need to cut back your consumption.

6.  It Indicates Health, Happy Gut Bacteria: All right, here is a slightly unpleasant truth: slimmer, healthier people often fart more.  In order words, the price you pay for better overall health might be slightly stinkier digestive system. That's because the foods that feed your microbiome and encourage more efficient digestion are foods like cauliflower, cabbage, and brussels sprouts.

These leafy greens kick your gut bacteria into high gear, which means both better digestion, and more gasses produce.

7.  It's A Huge Relief: Let's face it; there's no better feeling than releasing  a long-held fart.

Sure, the actual act of farting might be embarrassing if you are caught by the wrong person, but the relief of passing gas is worth it.

Holding in gas can make you grumpy, uncomfortable, and snappish; reasonably, releasing boosts your mood considerably, no doubt.

Were you surprised to learn about these hidden benefits of this stinky bodily function?
