Common Lady's Mantle ... from the past to the present ...

Alchemists believed in the miraculous power of water droplets on its leaves "heavenly water," (symbolized purity and nature's mystery), which were supposed to help them achieve eternal youth or transform a common metal into gold. They paid great attention to lady's mantle, which led not only to its naming but mainly to the discovery of its medicinal effects. The present relies on proven health benefits this medicinal plant offers.
Ženská rovnováha dôležitá pre každú ženu
Asi sa zhodneme na tom, že ženské telo a jeho hormonálna rovnováha, je komplikovanejšie, ako telo mužské. Na ženu totiž okrem iného výrazne vplýva aj jej mesačný ženský cyklus. Je preto oveľa dôležitejšie sledovať všetky potrebné látky a hormóny, ak chce žena žiť vyrovnaný, spokojný život či už po stránke zdravotnej, alebo tej psychickej.
B3 - example that food is medicine
Niacin was long considered a mere part of the diet until it was discovered that its deficiency causes skin, digestive, and mental problems known as pellagra. Doctor Goldberger proved that the cause of this disease is not an infection but a one-sided diet without vitamin B3. He conducted an experiment on himself and his colleagues, who consumed exclusively poor diets and began to show symptoms of pellagra. However, when they added nutrients rich in niacin to their diet, the symptoms disappeared. In 1937, niacin was isolated from the liver, confirming its importance and nutritional value.
Železo - liek na mladosť
Kto má rád svalnatého Arnolda Swarzeneggera, určite videl dokument Pumping Iron - Dvíhanie železa o jeho zložitých premene z chudého tínedžera až na absolútny telesný Olymp. Jeho muskulatúra je obdivuhodná dodnes. A pomohlo mu ku tomu obyčajné železo. Samozrejme - ide o vtip, na železo hlavne dvíhal. Avšak ku tomu, aby jeho svaly vyzerali ako tie Herkulove, potreboval železo v úplne inej forme.
Histamine Control
Histamine is often perceived negatively, especially for its role in allergic reactions and intolerance. As with many things in life, black-and-white thinking is not suitable for this biogenic amine. As a neurotransmitter, it participates in many critical processes. In defending the body, for example, it supports the enlargement of blood vessels, making it easier for immune cells to access the site of inflammation. At the same time, it stimulates the production of gastric juices (essential for food processing), regulates the sleep cycle, controls appetite, and plays a role in learning, memory, and emotions. Histamine naturally occurs in the human body, and its balance is crucial for health. In the digestive system, it's broken down by the enzyme diamine oxidase. However, if histamine intake is greater than the body can break down, histamine intolerance develops. This imbalance can be caused by stress, poor lifestyle, medicines, or other factors. Excess histamine can lead to unpleasant symptoms, often resembling food allergies or digestive issues. It's essential to understand histamine as an important helper in our body.
Cholín a Inozitol
Cholín a Inozitol - dve slovká, ktoré ste pravdepodobne ešte nepočuli. Vo svetle doplnkov však ide o dôležité výživové doplnky skupiny B, ktoré však vlastne sú vitamínmi. Ide o látky, vitamíny veľmi podobné, ktoré podporujú funkciu pečene a látkovú premenu lipidov - čiže metabolizmus tukov. Cholín je vo vode rozpustný vitamín. Vyskytuje sa v Lecitíne, ktorý je bežný v mnohých rastlinných a živočíšnych tkanivách. Cholín je prekurzor pre neurotransmiter (teda prenášač) acetylcholín - ten sa podieľa na mnohých funkciách pamäti a svalovej činnosti.
