The Health Benefits of Coenzyme Q10
How This Incredible Compound Can Heal the Heart, Boost Energy and Treat Cancer
You may have already heard the name coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10 on the news, read about it in a magazine or seen it on your local health food store shelf. This powerful antioxidant is gaining popularity because of its ability to prevent premature aging, boost immunity and treat certain types of cancer. And that’s not all! Read on to discover how CoQ10 can benefit your health and why it should become a part of your disease-prevention arsenal.
What is Coenzyme Q10?
Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinol 10, was discovered in the 1950’s as a naturally-occurring compound produced by the human body that is responsible for basic cell function and disease prevention.
Patients with certain autoimmune diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s, diabetes and HIV/AIDS and those of advanced age are reported to have less natural CoQ10 in their bodies, which may contribute to both chronic disease and age-related illness. Certain prescription drugs are also known to reduce natural levels of CoQ10.
In addition to maintaining basic cell function, CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant, which is responsible for fighting free radicals in the body. Free radicals cause physical disease and premature aging by destroying living cells. Though they have always been produced naturally by the body, outside influences such as environmental pollution, cigarette smoking, prescription and over-the-counter drugs and processed foods have sped up this degenerative process at an alarming rate.
Common Cause of Mystery Symptoms – Part 4 – Environmental Allergens and Toxins
Do you suffer from mystery symptoms and despite numerous trips to the doctor and countless tests, medical professionals can still find nothing wrong? You’re not alone and you’re not crazy. In part four of our series, we will investigate environmental allergens and toxins that may be causing your mystery symptoms. This way, you can determine what symptoms most closely resemble yours and be armed with knowledge for your next visit to the doctor.
Household Cleaners
Household cleaners are filled with a wide variety of toxic chemicals that can cause mystery symptoms. Common symptoms of an allergy to household chemicals include:
• Asthma/Coughing/Wheezing
• Sneezing/Post-nasal Drip
• Hives/Contact Dermatitis
• Headaches
• Nausea/Vomiting (in extreme cases)
Don’t forget your laundry detergent. If you’re experiencing any of the above symptoms, especially skin related, the culprit could be your laundry detergent.
Commercial household cleaners do nothing to improve your health. Even if
you do not experience these symptoms, those with a compromised immune system should avoid exposure to these chemicals, as should children and the elderly. Do your family’s health a favor and switch to natural household cleaners.
