Dietary fiber consists of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) and many other plant components such as resistant starch , resistant dextrins , inulin , lignin , chitins , pectins , beta-glucans , and oligosaccharides . Video 1.   Is the Fiber Theory Wrong? (YouTube link ) Dietary fiber  can contribute to your overall good health and longevity, and can have a positive impact on lowering risk of diseases related to  Western diets , which include: [1] Cancers [25,26] Diabetes [27] Tumor formation Disordered laxation Autoimmune diseases Coronary heart disease [28] Inflammatory bowel disease Mineral related abnormalities by feeding and promoting healthy gut bacteria. In this article, we will cover the health effects of fiber from two prospectives: Traditional wisdom   Mostly from digestive system perspective Gut Microbiota   Mostly from immune system perspective Traditional Wisdom Proven benefits of dietary fiber include ...

Lyrics May each day in the week be a good day May the Lord always watch over you And may all of your hopes turn to wishes And may all of your wishes come true May each day in the month be a good day May you make friends with each one you meet And may all of your daydreams be mem'ries And may all of your mem'ries be sweet The weeks turn to months and the months into years There'll be sadness and joy, there'll be laughter and tears But one thing I pray to heaven above May each of your days be a day full of love May each day in the year be a good day May each dawn find you happy and gay And may all of your days be as lovely As the one you shared with me today May each day of your life be a good day And good night.

Iron overload —a buildup of extra iron—without treatment can permanently damage organs such as the liver, heart, and pancreas; endocrine glands; and joints. [23] Excess Iron can also increase your risk of cancer, heart disease, and premature death. [24] In this article, we will cover the following topics: Negative health effects of iron overload Benefits of blood donation for most people Note that  always consult a physician for ferritin testing, full iron panel, and any phlebotomy/donation plan. Self-managed aggressive reduction risks anemia. Serum Ferritin Test Ferritin  is a protein that stores iron and acts as a buffer against iron deficiency and iron overload. It is found in most tissues as a cytosolic protein, but small amounts are secreted into the  serum  where it functions as an iron carrier. Therefore, plasma ferritin is a good indirect marker of the total amount of iron stored in your body. However, ferritin is also an acute-phase react...

Cancer Research UK on 06/22/2017 has launched the second phase of its global Grand Challenge by announcing eight new questions – identified as some of the biggest barriers to making progress against cancer – and inviting the world’s top scientists to come together with new proposals to tackle them. Devise approaches to prevent or treat cancer based on mechanisms that determine tissue specificity of some cancer genes Create novel tumour vaccinology approaches that establish or enhance successful immune responses beyond what is revealed by current checkpoint therapy Define mechanistic rules for combinatorial treatments to overcome resistance and avoid toxicity Distinguish between lethal cancers which need treating, and non-lethal cancers that don’t Identify and target tumour cells that remain dormant for many years after seemingly effective treatment Detect cancer earlier by interrogating medical and non-medical data sets using machine and deep-learning Improve treatment ...

On average, adults need 7-9 hours of sleep every night  to stay healthy unless you are a short sleeper (or sleepless elite). [8]   As a short sleeper, he/she has an easy time falling asleep and only needs four to five hours of sleep each night to feel well-rested and alert.  However, to be an elite sleeper is, for the most part, genetic and scientists estimate they make up only about 1% of the population. If Sleep Too Little Adults who slept 5 hours or less a night had a 15% greater mortality risk compared with those sleeping 7 hours. As we know, too little sleep may fuel  insulin resistance Sleep deficiency results in a higher than normal blood sugar level, which may increase your risk for diabetes [2] After four nights of sleep deprivation (sleep time was only 4.5 hours per night ), study participants' insulin sensitivity was 16 percent lower, while their fat cells' insulin sensitivity was 30 percent lower, and rivaled levels...

There's a great big beautiful tomorrow, Shining at the end of every day. There's a great big beautiful tomorrow, And tomorrow's just a dream away.
