Brain Nutrient

Brain

A supplement called Acetyl L Carnitine has repeatedly been shown to improve memory as well as enhance cognition and reduce free radical damage to the brain. It may also improve nerve fiber regeneration, muscle coordination and vibration perception in people with neuropathies. 500 mg 2-3 times per day.

Smoking And Niacin

Smoking And Niacin

Saw this partially correct post on Facebook: Drug Mugger Rx-Nicotine is actually a drug mugger of niacin. One of the ways by which smoking (nicotine ingestion) causes such catastophic etffects in the human body is because it competes with niacin for your cell’s love and affection. More specifically, nicotine looks SO INCREDIBLY similar to nicotinamide (niacin’s active form) that it fakes your cell’s out, and it interfere’s with the absorption and utilization of nicotamide, possibly resulting in a deficiency.
Nicotinamide is NOT the active form of Niacin. Quite the reverse. Nicotinamide does not have the effect of flushing toxins and drug residues from the tissues as does niacin.
From Wikipedia: Although the two are identical in their vitamin activity, nicotinamide does not have the same pharmacological effects (lipid modifying effects) as niacin. Nicotinamide does not reduce cholesterol or cause flushing.

Walnuts – Good for the Prostate and Brain

Walnuts

Prostate Cancer affects 1 in 6 men. Researchers have found that eating walnuts slows the growth of prostate cancer in mice. These nuts seems to effect the genes related to the control of tumor growth and metabolism. Prostate cancer growth was reduced by 30-40% and lowered IGF. Walnuts are rich in omega-3 and may also help heart disease.
Great tip! Thanks. Pistachios are also good for prostate health.

The Most Important Image Captured By Hubble

In 1996, scientists took a huge risk when they pointed the Hubble telescope to an inky field that they believed to be void of stars and planets. As images from Hubble are in constant demand, the worry was that devoting so much time to a black space would prove futile. Once the photons finally registered, though, that leap of faith proved fruitful: light from over three thousand galaxies illuminated the image. A few years and missions later, Hubble’s glimpse into what is known as the deep field has revealed that we are just one tiny part of a vast system comprising 100 billion galaxies.
