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.
5 Natural Tips for Healthy Gums
Good Dental Care Begins at Home
We’re born with two sets of teeth, but only one set of gums. Americans spend nearly 40 million dollars a year correcting their deteriorating dental health. Learn how these natural tips for healthy gums can prevent or reverse gum disease and keep you out of the dentist’s chair.
Tip 1 – Diet
You are what you eat and if what you eat are processed and refined foods, your gum health is going to suffer. One of the best ways to achieve healthy gums is to eat a diet rich in fresh, whole foods such as organic meats, fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Sweeteners such as aspartame and high fructose corn syrup not only eat away at teeth and gums, but weaken the immune system, leaving you vulnerable to gum disease and infection.
Eating organic yogurt sweetened with only natural sugar is a great way to get probiotics, friendly bacteria, into the body and maintain good health. Hidden food intolerances can cause malabsorption of nutrients, which can lead to gum disease. If you frequently suffer from canker sores, abdominal cramping, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, brain fog and/or learning difficulties, a hidden food intolerance may be the cause. The most common are wheat, gluten, dairy, corn, soy, citrus fruits, nuts and shellfish.
If a food intolerance is suspected, do an elimination diet. Remove all these foods from your diet for one week and then reintroduce them one day at a time to test for a reaction. If you find the culprit food or foods, you’ll know and be able to eliminate it from your diet. Your body will then better be able to absorb nutrients from food and gum health will improve.
