11 Mar 10 Better Cure for Psoriasis
Our species is tough, resilient and durable. Human expected average lifespan is now over 80 years in most developed countries, with more centenarians every year. Increasing scientific, biological and health-related knowledge is teaching all of us that there are actually more factors than the easier apparent short term consequences of nutrition and stress. In addition there are very important (and sometimes subtle) long-run outcomes which should always be taken into account.
For example, there is a generally accepted minimum daily Vitamin C intake necessary to prevent scurvy. Once we thought that this minimum amount was all that anyone needed. Subsequent scientific studies showed us that increased Vitamin C intake had significant health and well-being benefits.
The cycle for getting scurvy is measured in months. But the goal in nutrition is not just to avoid obvious short-term vitamin-deficiancy diseases. It is to promote optimum health, energy levels and well being. For that we need many times the scurvy-prevention level of Vitamin C intake.
There are still longer cycles of nutrient deprivation and lifestyles involving many different nutrients, phytochemicals, antioxidants, etc. Long-term deprivations of these seem to lead to problems usually associated with aging, like diabetes, heart disease, senile dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
We also know now that numerous pollutants (like lead) and certain substances found in processed foods (like trans fats, nitrates and certain preservatives) have long-term life-shortening effects on people.
Knowing this encourages us to move away from commercial drugs in favor of natural cures whenever these are available.
Comprehending this now helps us to better maintain our bodies. It helps us to treat fibroid uterus symptoms more effectively and it helps with uterine fibroids treatment. For more details on managing fibroids, just click here .
Science marches on, carrying new understandings and suggesting new opportunities on a daily basis. As investigators continue to unravel the mysteries of how our body chemistry truly works, at the molecular level, our perspective and our capabilities to further improve and extend human life are continuously increasing.
