***********************************
THE HUMAN BODY IS ABLE TO PRODUCE L-GLUTAMINE
ITSELF FROM L-GLUTAMIC ACID. AT 60%, IT REPRESENTS THE LARGEST AMOUNT
OF FREE AMINO ACIDS IN THE BODY. GLUTAMINE HAS BEEN REFERRED TO AS AN INTERNAL
FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH BY SCIENTISTS.
***********************************

Of all the amino acids Glutamine is the most abundant in our body. It is stored
mainly in the muscles but can be found as
well in the lungs, liver, brain and blood (plasma). It comprises approximately 50-
60% of the free amino acids in muscle
. This accounts for most of the body's Glutamine reserves.

The cells in the immune system rely on glutamine as their primary fuel source. The
human body uses glutamine to move
ammonia and nitrogen throughout the body
via the bloodstream. So the body tries to maintain a contstant level of glutamine
in the
bloodstream at all times. The immune and digestive systems crave glutamine. The
digestive system often struggles to get enough glutamine to cope with the high
protein diet of
a bodybuilder.

In the past couple years, glutamine has gained importance through studies revealing
its unique contribution to protein synthesis (muscle growth), anti-catabolic
breakdown
functions (prevents muscle tissue breaking down) and growth hormone elevating
effects. Due to these effects, glutamine plays an
important part in your body by aiding recovery of muscle cells.

Sixty percent of our glutamine is found in the skeletal muscle, with the remainder
residing in
the lungs, liver, and stomach. Glutamine has a unique molecule structure with 2
nitrogen side
chains. This structure makes glutamine the primary transporter of nitrogen in the
muscle cells.

Cabbage juice is extremely effective in treating peptic

ulcers, even after only seven days. The antiulcer property in cabbage was later
identified as the delicate amino acid called glutamine, which encourages the growth
and
regeneration of the cells that line the digestive tract.
As an added bonus, the mineral selenium in cabbage is excellent for fighting
cancer, protecting against heart disease, improving
conditions of arthritis, slowing the aging process, giving beautiful skin, and
increasing
male potency.

GLUTAMINE RICH VEGETABLES INCLUDE SPINACH, PARSLEY, CABBAGE AND BEETS.

Lemons and limes show an

impressive capacity to chelate heavy metals. Xandria Williams, M.D., a naturopathic
practitioner and author of The Liver Detox Plan, explains that these citrus
fruits contain
high levels of citric acid, which reacts with the metals. The liver can then remove
this
chelation, easing the burden on the body. She notes that oranges and satsumas do
not offer
the same benefit as they contain much lower levels of citric acid.
Brazil Nuts: Not necessarily a chelation food, Brazil nuts actually work to restore
the good minerals, like selenium and zinc, that may be lost in the chelation
process.
Onions and garlic: The sulfur in onions and garlic can also work to eliminate heavy
metals. Along with these, things like eggs,
cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage also have high sulfur content.

GARLIC AND CILANTRO (korijander) ARE NATURAL CHELATORS.

Absorption of zinc from zinc citrate was 61.3% (56.671.0) and was not different
from that from zinc gluconate with 60.9% (50.671.7). Absorption from zinc oxide at
49.9% (40.957.7)

Calcium is best absorbed in an

acidic environment, so calcium citrate is the best absorbed supplemental form of
calcium. It does not require extra stomach acid for absorption, so you can take it
at
any time during the a day, even on an empty stomach. Your body will more easily
break down and use calcium from calcium citrate.

Your body repairs cells and reduces inflammation by taking an electron from an
antioxidant found in fruits and vegetables, and donating it to the free radical.

Pumpkin seeds are one of the best sources of plant-based trytophan , an amino acid
that aids in calming the mind and body. Trytophan is the precursor to the
neurotransmitter serotonin, which helps
ensure a healthy mood, lower anxiety, aid in a good nights rest, and it helps
prevent
depression. Trytophan is also found in sweet potatoes, some leafy greens, bananas,
nuts, seeds, and most legumes and beans.

Koja je razlika izmeu glikogena i masti kao goriva?

Prva i najvanija razlika je u brzini. Glikogen je brzo gorivo to znai da se u

vrlo brzo mobilizirati za dobivanje energije.
Masti su za razliku od glikogena sporo gorivo jer se dosta sporo mobiliziraju za

Glikogen se moe razgraivati bez prisutnosti kisika-anaerobno, a masti samo uz
prisutnost kisika-aerobno. Najvanije od svega na to

The main electrolytes in the body are potassium and sodium. Other electrolytes are
chloride and bicarbonate. Potassium is found mainly inside the body's cells. Small
amounts are also found
in blood plasma. It has an important role in regulating the heart's rhythm and
ability to
contract. Sodium is mainly found outside cells where
it helps regulate the amount of water in the body.

Together lemon and baking soda

help to fight cancerous cells or
diseases in the body while helping to increase the bodys ability to clean itself
up of what may be causing the diseases in the first place. Having lemon as a part
of your diet is certainly healthy and taking this combination as a detox
can also be helpful even if you
dont have an illness.
Lemon is also used to help
balance Ph. They are taken
together as it is believed that
lemon is one of the safest ways to introduce high alkaline substances into the
system. These methods of treatment are able to approach carcinogenic cells and
destroy them without destroying healthy cells. This is another key factor as
chemotherapy destroys all cells
which includes the healthy ones.
In addition, adding sodium bicarbonate to your apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
helps
keep your body alkaline by saving your body's bicarbonate reserves.

Phytic acid is a substance that

reduces our absorption of minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, and magnesium. Soy,
cereal are high in phytic acid which binds to these minerals and keeps you from
digesting them.

Wheat bran contains more IP6 (phytic acid) than any other food source, according to
All-About-Food.org. Every 100 g of wheat bran has 3,610 mg of phytic acid, but
including wheat bran in your
diet does not necessarily mean consuming such a large amount. For example, two
loaves
of bread can be baked from about one cup, or 58 g, of bran. Wheat germ is also high
in
phytic acid, but contains a little less than half of the bran. Knowing the
approximate amount of phytic acid from this potentially large source is important
because 5 to 10 mg of
phytic acid may reduce the absorption of iron from plant sources by 50 percent,
according to the Linus Pauling Institute.

In your body, phosphorus is

present in your genes, your teeth, and your bones -- even your muscles work because
of

Manganese performs several functions in the body and is found in your pancreas,
bones,
liver and kidneys. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center,
manganese helps
your body form sex hormones, bones, connective tissues and blood-clotting factors,
is necessary for normal nerve and brain function, is an antioxidant that helps
fights
free radicals and plays a role in calcium absorption, blood sugar regulation and
metabolism.

The raw oxalic acid in beet juice is known to be a good solvent of inorganic (=
bad) calcium deposits in the body. World no 1 raw food teacher David Wolfe suspects
that inorganic calcium deposits are the main
cause of most chronic diseases. This may explain why beet juice relieves many cases
of
disease related to calcification in the body, like:
* arthritis
* heart disease
* cancer
* kidney stones
* eye problems
* varicose veins
* arteriosclerosis
Like with other bad (or inorganic) calcium dissolvers (MSM, fulvic acid and
zeolites), drinking lots of beet juice may result in strong
detox symptoms. When calcium dissolves, heavy metals, toxic chemicals, and viruses
are
released from their "hiding places".
The relatively large amount of magnesium causes the organic (= good) calcium in the
leafs to be absorbed well.

Guava can be found in the supermarket from

November to June
Some studies have suggested that L- Theanine, especially when combined with
Caffeine, can improve attention and
general cognitive function (black tea have both)
Due to the L-theanine and its effect on alpha waves in the brain, it may also be a
better choice than coffee for those who need to concentrate for long periods of
time.

Caffeine does not dehydrate

you unless you drink more
than 500-600 milligrams
(the equivalent of 5-7 cups
of coffee) per day. Below this
level, your body does not
lose any more fluid than the
beverage itself provides

When you exercise, your

body uses glycogen, a type
of sugar that you get from
food, for energy. But once
those stores are depleted at
the end of a long workout,
you may feel tired or
sluggishsigns that you
have hit the wall . Caffeine
slows the depletion of
glycogen by encouraging the
body to use more fat as fuel,
which helps to conserve
energy over long periods of
time.

Caffeine is often referred to as a

nutritional ergogenic aid
(meaning that it can enhance physical performance), but it has no nutritional value
by itself.

It is already established that consuming carbohydrate and caffeine prior to and

during
exercise improves a variety of athletic performances. This is the first study to
show that caffeine combined with carbohydrates
following exercise can help refuel the muscle faster.

The 2008 Australian study, conducted by researchers at RMIT University, studied the
effects of taking caffeine along with carbohydrates after endurance training. Since
caffeine taken before and during exercise has been shown to increase the
availability of
muscle glucose (zato izgleda ja dobro trim i igram kad uzmem tog dana kofein
aktivira se UH iz miia ili je neto drugo?) -- and thus your endurance level --
the researchers posited that post- exercise caffeine might have the same effect.

Green tea apparently

helps regulate glucose levels
slowing the rise of blood sugar after eating. This can prevent high insulin spikes
and resulting fat storage.

If green tea is steeped in cooler water (158 degrees F), relatively more caffeine
and antioxidant polyphenols will be extracted in the second infusion. When
hotter water (about 185 degrees F and above) is used, more caffeine and polyphenols
will be extracted during the
first infusion. (See Source by Yang et al below.)

Half a teaspoon of cinnamon a day has previously been shown

to significantly reduce blood sugar levels, triglycerides, LDL (bad) cholesterol,

Silica is found most predominantly in the connective tissues - skin, blood vessels,
cartilage, bone, teeth, tendons and hair. Silica is really beneficial for the
health of blood
vessel walls (the aorta is has really high concentrations of silica).
The excellent source of silica contributes to the proper construction of connective
tissues in our body as in the bones, muscles, cartilage, ligaments and tendons.

The Healing Powers and Health Benefits of Cabbage Juice:

* Heals Digestive Disorders
* Protection From colon Cancer
* Protects Against Lung Cancer
* Protects Against Prostate Cancer
* Protects From Breast Cancer
* Reduces Risk of Cancer

The glucosinolates found in cabbage increase the bodys ability to detoxify

damaging chemicals and hormones.

Trans-fat is also known to increase blood levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL),
or
"bad" cholesterol, while lowering levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL), or
"good" cholesterol. Trans-fats even interfere with your body's use of beneficial
omega-3 fats, and
have been linked to an increase in asthma.

Trans-fats are formed when hydrogen is added to vegetable oil during food
processing in
order to make it solidify. This process, known as hydrogenation, makes fats less
likely to spoil, so foods stay fresh longer, have a longer shelf life and also have
a less greasy
feel.

Why trans-fats are bad for health

Trans-fats are destructive to health because the body misreads them. Trans-fats
have the same chemical signature as omega-3s and omega-6s, so the body uses them
for the
same purposes. But they are structurally straight rather than bent, so the part of
the
cell membrane that needs to be porous becomes tight and rigid instead. This causes
a
variety of health problemsincluding insulin
resistance, which can lead to type 2 diabetes.

Trans fatty acids in

hydrogenated fat inhibited the synthesis of the polyunsaturated fatty acids (18:3,
18:2...) in the
phospholipid of arterial cells.

Food fats naturally occur in three general types:

1. Saturated (e.g., butter, lard, coconut oil)
2. Monounsaturated (e.g., olive or canola oils)
3. Polyunsaturated (e.g., omega-6 oils like
sunflower or safflower oil, or omega-3 oils like
fish and flaxseed oils)

Hydrogenation (or, more accurately, "partial hydrogenation," as the process is

incomplete) is the forced chemical addition of hydrogen
into omega-6 polyunsaturated oils to make them hard at room temperatures, primarily
as
a cheaper and less perishable substitute for butter in crispy bread products.
Common
hydrogenated fats include hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated cottonseed, palm,
soy, and corn oils, but theoretically almost any
polyunsaturated oil can be hydrogenated.

Egg yolks have one of the highest concentrations of biotin found in nature. So it
is likely that
you will not have a biotin deficiency if you consume the whole raw egg, yolk and
white.
It is also clear, however, that if you only consume raw egg whites, you are nearly
guaranteed to develop a biotin deficiency unless you take a biotin supplement.

The protein is digested first, whilst the carbohydrates are 'shelved' waiting for
their
turn.

If glucose is not used

right away, it is converted and stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen.

If the body doesn't have enough carbohydrate , protein is broken down to make
glucose for
energy.

Apple is a refreshing superfood, which you can avail year-round. This juicy fruits
are good source of the antioxidant quercetin and fibers. The amount of sugar is low
in green apples than red apples. In addition to hydration, apples are beneficial in
weight loss, lowering cholesterol levels, and preventing some
chronic health conditions like diabetes, asthma, cardiovascular disease, and even
certain cancers.

Here is a check list over all those enzymes:

Sucrase splits sucrose to glucose and fructose.

Amylase splits starch to glucose.
Maltase splits maltose to 2 glucose molecules.

Sources of Soluble Fiber

Most fruits, vegetables and whole-grain foods are rich in fiber, but some types are
especially good sources of soluble fiber. For example,
1/2-cup serving of Brussels sprouts, turnips, black beans or sweet potatoes
provides
between 2 and 2.4 grams of soluble fiber, while the same amount of beets, carrots
and
broccoli provide about 1 gram. Fruits that are high in soluble fiber include
oranges and fresh
apricots, with about 2 grams in four apricots or one orange; raspberries, which
have about
1 gram per cup; and strawberries, which have about 1 gram per 1 1/4-cup serving.

Avidin, another anti-nutrient found in the egg white, binds to biotin, a B vitamin
responsible
for things such as fatty acid synthesis and blood sugar regulation, and inhibits
its
absorption. Biotin is normally produced by a healthy gut flora so those suffering
from
digestive issues are even more at risk of biotin deficiency.

Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the liver and fatty tissues, and are eliminated

Acid does prepare foods for digestion, especially proteins. Normally, proteins
exist
in a tightly coiled globular structure. Acid denatures the protein which results in
the
protein unraveling into a more linear structure. This then allows enzymes access to
the peptide bonds so the protein can be
broken down.

Overall, treatment with BETAINE led to an improved sense

of well-being, less fatigue, greater strength and endurance, and increased desire
for
(and performance of) physical and mental work. Subjects with cardiac decompensation
(arteriosclerosis or
rheumatic disease) ( 180 ) and congestive heart failure ( 181 ) had improved
cardiac
function. Subjects gained weight (improved nitrogen balance) and reported lessened
symptoms of arthritis and asthma and
increased libido, and those with
hypertension experienced transient reduced blood pressure. Glucose tolerance
increased
in both diabetic subjects and subjects without diabetes.

As an osmolyte, betaine
protects cells, proteins, and enzymes from environmental stress (eg, low water,
high
salinity, or extreme
temperature).

Common monounsaturated fatty acids are:

* palmitoleic acid (16:1 n7),
* cis-vaccenic acid (18:1 n7)
