Without collagen, the whole body would fall apart

Without collagen, the whole body would fall apart

Collagen is a miraculous substance, it's flexible or hard, it spreads out transparently thin, thicker, stronger according to the need at the time, everywhere in the body.

Without collagen, the whole body would fall apart.

Collagen is a protein and about 35% of the body's proteins are collagen, collagen both supports and glues the body's surfaces and helps them function well.

Since the body is constantly renewing itself, and at some point the body's own collagen production also stops, so it should be obtained from food, collagen is such an important substance that the body makes it as best as it can from the proteins you give it.

In nature, pure collagen can only be found in products of animal origin, vegetables, fruits and berries do not contain collagen, but vegetables still contain different amino acids, i.e. proteins.

By eating a variety of vegetables, you ensure a versatile supply of amino acids, from which the body then prepares what it needs according to its current needs, as well as the supply of vitamins and trace elements.

It is important to note that the presence of vitamin C is necessary for the absorption of collagen.

When you cook or stew bone-in meat or chicken,
during cooking collagen come off the bones and tendons and
is released into the water, and when storing broth in the refrigerator overnight, you will see the broth has clotted from collagen to gelatin.

The fat in the raw material has also come off,
when it cools it rises to the surface of the broth and solidifies,
it is animal fat and if you want to avoid it,
it can to remove and dispose of, but it can also be used.

PS.
Some berries and fruits produce jelly, it is called pectin,
it is a carbohydrate.

The brain is like a living artificial intelligence

The brain is like a living artificial intelligence that collects experiences with the help of the senses, taste, sight, hearing, smell, touch, like still images of milliseconds, combines and stores these images and gives the musculature a command to act.

In order for the brain to do this it needs the right kind of energy-producing food.

The brain uses glucose for food.

The body produces glucose from carbohydrates that it receives, for example, from grains, nuts, vegetables, fruits and berries.

Glucose is stored mainly in the liver and large muscles of the body.

Muscles also use glucose as food, it is transported
with the help of blood vessels to where it is needed at any given time.

It is worth noting that this transport happens continuously, 24/7.

The brain is about 70% water where moveselectrical energy impulses. Those electrical impulses move through the brain in nerve fibers very quickly and the brain consumes about 20% of the body's energy needs.

Food turns into energy with the help of oxygen,
iron-rich red blood cells also transport oxygen to the mitochondrion, where this conversion of matter into energy takes place, fully automatically.

The brain has automated many different bodily functions but
it does not rest even at night, when the large muscles go into a state of rest that is, when a person sleeps, the brain continues to function, repairing body damage, developing, detecting and storing new and old information.

During the day, the carbohydrate store is filled with food.
The body turns excess carbohydrates into fat, so if you want
avoid excess fat so, in the evening you should only eat lightly, without forgetting
proteins, they are used as repair and building material for all cells.


Digestive tract is like a second brain

I have a cold, cough, runny nose, muscles are a bit sore and when I coughed, I noticed that my lungs felt not as elastic as usual, but soft like a sponge or marshmallow.

I had already drunk a large dose of orange juice flavored with vitamin C early in the morning to treat my cold, so my brain must have been working particularly well at that time. After thinking about it for a while, I connected the elasticity of the lungs to yeast and through it to the intestines.

Digestion is a very important thing for human well-being, and it is said that the digestive tract is like a second brain.

The intestines normally contain yeast along with other microbes,
perhaps it had appeared a little too much due to the consumption of sweet and carbohydrate-rich substances, in the summer.

I thought about it and ended up doing a yeast removal 
which Google also says the following:

Diet:
Reduce sugar, yeast, dairy products and grain products from your diet.
Favour fibre-rich vegetables and products containing probiotics.
Probiotics:
Foods: Fermented milk products (buttermilk, yoghurt), sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha.
Long-term use of probiotics, such as lactic acid bacteria,
can help balance the gut microbiota and reduce yeast growth.
Stress management:
Ensure adequate rest and stress management, as stress can affect gut balance and yeast growth.

Conclusions:
A well-functioning digestive system probably also helps the immune system function well.




Bloating is one sign of low Potassium intake

When the body receives potassium well, it feels like body fluids flow well and the feeling is comfortable and light.

Bloating is one sign of low potassium intake, in which case you should reduce the amount of salt in your food or increase your potassium intake, for example by increasing the amount of plants in your diet.

Potassium is essential for humans.

The boiling point of potassium is relatively high above 700 °C, so it is not necessarily destroyed by heating, but
the melting point is only 63.38 °C, so I can easily be imagined to dissolve in water, which is often poured out, for example, when cooking vegetables.

Potassium is a really important trace element.

It affects the proper functioning of the nervous system, muscles and heart and also lowers blood pressure.

Potassium and sodium form a kind of "pump" for the cell membrane, they transport nutrients inside the cells and remove waste products from the cells.

People often get too much sodium from food, but sometimes less potassium.

Several different contexts, cruciferous vegetables have been
mentioned in maintaining good health.

The most familiar cruciferous vegetables are various cabbages, i.e. white cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi and turnips.

Cabbage also contains a lot of potassium, which helps prevent cardiovascular diseases as well.


Proteins are the building blocks of cells

It is said that the bromelain enzyme contained in pineapple helps in the processing of proteins in digestion.

Proteins, or amino acids, are the building blocks of cells.

More importantly, they maintain cellular functions.

The body makes the proteins it needs by itself, except nine of these are called essential amino acids.

Animal products contain all nine amino acids, which the body cannot produce on its own.

Of the plant products, only soy also contains all the essential amino acids, so vegetarians should pay special attention to the versatility of their diet.
 
The need for protein is 1g / 1kg of body weight per day,
body turns any excess protein into sugar and fat.

You feel full and eat less if the meal has enough proteins and amino acids.


Water or H2O contains oxygen

I remember hearing that yawning is a sign that the brain needs oxygen.

I was thinking about how to get more oxygen to the brain when the inhaled oxygen is not enough for some reason.

One natural product came to mind, it is already here and at least for now quite easily available to people, water or H2O contains oxygen combined with a few hydrogen atoms.

The reaction of oxygen with another substance is called oxidation, combustion.
In the human body, inside each cell there is also a place where these combustion reactions take place it called a mitochondrion.

In the mitochondrion, oxygen reacts with, for example, carbohydrates obtained from food, and thus energy is obtained for,  muscles.

That is, the water you drink goes into the cell's mitochondria
and there inside the cell, oxygen and hydrogen are first separated from each other oxygen is used for combustion, i.e. energy production.
and the hydrogen, which is now a gas unnecessary for the body ... is breathed out ...
and the remaining the hydrogen easily reacts with the oxygen in the air, so hydrogen oxidizes (that is it burns) and the burning of hydrogen produces more water.

There is a lot of water on Earth, at least 70-80 percent.

Bones are living tissue

The skeleton renews itself in about ten years, so its building materials are constantly needed throughout life.

Bones are living tissue, mainly calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. Calcium needs also vitamin D to be absorbed.
 
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that the skin produces under the influence of daylight. It is stored in the body.
 
Vitamin D is found especially in fatty sea fish, such as salmon or tuna, but also in some mushrooms.
 
The functions of vitamin D are versatile throughout the body, it is a powerful antioxidant, together with magnesium, phosphorus and calcium, vitamin D also forms bone tissue.

Calcium keeps the bones hard, but it has an important function in terms of the proper functioning of the muscles, it is good to remember that the heart is also a muscle.
 
Calcium is found in dairy products, e.g. In Swiss cheese (Emmental), cottage cheese and curd, but it is also in vegetables, e.g. broccoli and other cabbages, white beans and tofu.
 
Magnesium and phosphorus are found in many foods: dairy products, eggs, nuts and seeds, legumes, whole grains, vegetables and meat.
 

B9 i.e. folate, i.e. Folic Acid will increase your alertness

B9 i.e. folate, i.e. Folic Acid, like all B vitamins, is very important for the good functioning of the body and nervous system.

If you eat a mixed diet and lots of vegetables fresh or lightly cooked, then there may not be a shortage of B vitamins,
but cause they are water-soluble, they are eliminated from body fairly quickly and during cooking they could dissolves in water, destroyed  partially or even completely.

Vitamin B9 or folic acid, is one of the important B vitamins.

Fresh food is available all year round, but a large number of people still lack Folic Acid .

Probably the deficiencies in Folic Acid are due to its preparation for human consumption, as is easily destroyed also by heating.

For example the whole grain is rich in fiber and heat-resistant important minerals, also rich in B9, but is there any left after cooking.

Except the grain other good sources of Folic Acid are fresh vegetables, berries and fruits, they have little protein but are good sources of carbohydrate.

In various studies, B9 plays an important role in the formation of red blood cells, but an even more important role is associated to the breakdown of harmful substances and that believed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

The fat-soluble vitamins E, D, A and K are important for skin health

The fat-soluble vitamins E, D, A and K are important also for skin health

The material of the skin is large amount of collagen, creatine and fat cells, it is the largest organ of the body.

The skin protects the body from external stimuli, prevents harmful substances from entering the body, helps maintain body temperature and store fluid and fat, it also produces vitamin D.

The skin is an amazing organ, it has also a tactile sense.

Skin cells are constantly renewed, so all nutrients,
not forgetting proteins, because they act as building blocks of cells, are important for the skin.
 
Vitamins work in several metabolic functions, but also plays a very important role in conservation, as antioxidants against external and internal damage to the skin.

Vitamin E is the body's most important protection.
There are billions of cells in humans and in each cell, on the cell membrane, there is a vitamin E layer that protects the cells from the harmful effects of oxygen.

Vitamin E is also stored in the body, for example in fat tissue and liver, just like other fat-soluble vitamins.
 
Vitamin A is an antioxidant, it protects skin cells from infections and pathogens, vitamin D is also a powerful antioxidant.

About 4-5 liters of blood passes through an adult's body 24/7 without interruption, carrying oxygen, nutrients and waste products.

When there is so much traffic inside a person, small accidents can sometimes happen, for example internal bleeding in the body, in these cases vitamin K plays a really important role, it helps to coagulate the blood.
 
If you really want to take advantage of the fat-soluble vitamins of the raw material, add a touch of vegetable oil when cooking.

B12 i.e. cobalamin is found in nature only in products of animal origin.

Unlike other B vitamins, vitamin B12 is found in nature only in products of animal origin.

Vitamin B12 in vitamin supplements is produced with the help of microbes, which are, after all, also animals.

B 12 is very important for the proper functioning of the nervous system, memory, brain, in fact the whole body, it also participates in the production of cells.

As a water-soluble vitamin, vitamin B12 leaves the body naturally every day

but unlike other water soluble vitamins it is stored at least partially in the liver, but still it is good to remember that the body renews itself all the time and it is difficult to get too much vitamin B12 by eating.
