FUN FACTS FOR YOU BY DR. SARAH
Gingko and Your Brain
Gingko Biloba, is used by many versed herbalists to increase circulation and improve brain function. However, it now is being studied as preventative medicine! In February, I had mentioned on my webpage that Gingko Biloba (GB) was shown to be protective against EMFs from cell phones in one study. That’s worth a second look!
Summary: Gingko serves as a potent antioxidant which prevents free radical damage to the brain from cell phones.
And here’s a link to my past article which discusses GB and my belief that therapeutic essential oils may also provide this protection!
Fish and Blood Sugar
Astaxanthin is an orange carotenoid found in algae, plants, and seafood. Recently, krill oil has been studied as the next best source of anti-inflammatory fish oil source. What makes krill so fantastic? It contains not only high omega 3 fatty acids, but also phosphitdylcholine, and this antioxidant compound, astaxanthin. A recent study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, showed this compound to have an anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and protective effect to the kidneys from high glucose levels.
For you science whizzes, here’s the mechanism of action excerpted from the Journal of Agriculture Food Chemistry brought to my attention via DFH: Results showed that astaxanthin effectively suppressed lipid peroxidation, total RS, •O2, NO•, ONOO−, iNOS and COX-2 protein levels, NF-κB nuclear translocation, and pro-apototic Bax, whereas it increased anti-apoptotic Bcl2 protein levels.
