Did you know that...?

  🎡 According to WHO data, 60% of death cases are related to nutrition and dangerous products, which do not kill immediately but gradually destroy a person from the inside.

  🎡 It is not advisable to eat unripe apples because they do not yet have the enzymes that can break them down during the digestion process. Enzymes appear only when the apples have ripened. Sour apple varieties are healthier because they contain more organic acids. Apples contain pectin, which is a valuable fiber. Not only green tea, but also apples contain catechin, which has antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

  🎡 Anything that cannot be eaten should not be put on the skin.

  🎡 The skin is a mirror of internal processes.

  🎡 Only fresh juices have a high pH level because they contain antioxidants (free electrons), enzymes, and oxygen.

  🎡 Nearly all shampoos and gels contain sodium lauryl sulfate, which, in combination with other components, forms carcinogenic substances that can cause irreversible vision changes in children and increase the risk of cancer.

  🎡 To preserve vision longer, for example, when working with a computer, it is necessary to do eye exercises once an hour and regularly look into the distance through a window.

  🎡 Toxins created worms and lice cause jaw muscle spasms, manifesting as teeth grinding.

  🎡 White spots on nails indicate a lack of zinc in the body or injuries.

  🎡 Painful and cracked corners of the mouth indicate a deficiency of B₂ and other B-group vitamins in the body.

  🎡 If there are cramps in the leg muscles, it means that there is a low level of magnesium in the body. Magnesium and calcium must be balanced.

  🎡 It has been observed that cows that suckle their own milk get stomach cancer. Cow's milk is intended for calves and no one else.

  🎡 Gout is a typical disease of meat eaters. In ancient times, it was a disease of the wealthy, who could afford to eat this product regularly.

  🎡 Prostatitis and impotence begin in early childhood with the first acute respiratory infection and angina, when medication removes symptoms but does not eliminate the causes of these diseases.

  🎡 Bile is produced in the liver, not in the gallbladder. It produces up to one liter of bile per day.

  🎡 The craving for sweets is a vicious cycle. Excessive sugar in the daily diet causes rapid fluctuations in sugar levels, which in turn creates a craving for a new dose of sugar. Sugar provides a rapid energy boost, but just as quickly, this energy disappears. It is different with honey; the energy boost is more even and lasts longer.

  🎡 Avoid dishes with Teflon coating as well as aluminum dishes. Aluminum ions accumulate in fat tissues and cause Alzheimer's disease.

  🎡 Saturated fats differ from unsaturated fats in that the fat molecule no longer has any free spots for hydrogen atoms to attach. Polyunsaturated fat molecules have several spots, but monounsaturated ones have only one spot.

  🎡 Our bodies do not have enzymes for processing overheated fats, so they have a toxic effect on the body.

  🎡 In the process of hydrogenation, liquid, unsaturated vegetable oils can be turned into saturated or solid fats. For example, corn oil can be hydrogenated to make margarine. With the help of special additives, the necessary smell, taste, and color can be obtained.

  🎡 Palm oil is widely used in the food industry because it is much cheaper than other vegetable oils. It is used to make margarine, added to dairy products, and widely used in confectionery because it is cheap.

  🎡 According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, trans fats worsen the quality of milk, as they enter the newborn's body, promote fetal growth retardation, increase the risk of diabetes, weaken immunity, disrupt the function of the cytochrome oxidase enzyme, which plays an important role in the neutralization of carcinogenic substances, reduce testosterone levels and sperm quality.

  🎡 Hemp milk can temporarily replace mother's milk. Hemp seeds contain all the essential amino acids.

  🎡 In synthetic diapers, the temperature can reach +43°C. This is especially dangerous for boys, as it negatively affects sperm quality.

  🎡 Food additives cause enormous stress to the body. To digest all of it, the body has to work very hard. As a result, energy and valuable nutrients are used for digestion and toxin neutralization.

  🎡 A lack of copper in the body causes disturbances in oxidation-reduction reactions.

  🎡 Iodine deficiency is associated with thyroid problems, infertility, and impotence.

  🎡 If silver is a powerful antiviral agent, then copper has antifungal (yeast, mold) effects.

  🎡 If you crave cocoa, your body may be lacking chromium.

  🎡 Selenium is a powerful antioxidant. It is found in garlic, onions, and Brazil nuts, provided the soil contains sufficient amounts of it.

  🎡 Unripe fruits contain tannins. When frozen, tannin breaks down.

  🎡 Many dried fruits are treated with sulfur dioxide (E-220), which destroys vitamins B₁ and E. This is done to make the products last longer and look better.

  🎡 If eating red beets turns urine reddish, it means the kidneys are weak.

  🎡 Papaya is a wonderful, enzyme-rich fruit. Unfortunately, all papaya coming from the Hawaiian Islands has been GMO since 1998. Papaya from China is also a GMO product.

  🎡 Since ancient times, people have noticed that those who consume turmeric rarely encounter oncology, cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory processes, and age slower. Curcumin, which is a component of turmeric (making up 3% of the total composition), is a powerful antioxidant, reduces depression, promotes skin cell regeneration, activates autophagy, creating a similar purification process as occurs during fasting. Since curcumin is poorly assimilated, it should be added with a little ground black pepper in a ratio of 15:1, thus assimilation can be enhanced by about 25 times.

  🎡 It is not recommended to lose more than 1.5 kg of weight per week. Fat cannot disappear faster, only water can.

  🎡 Pickled cucumbers achieve their attractive appearance and long shelf life by adding 2-3% acetic acid (E-260), which blocks enzyme activity. Crunchiness is achieved by adding potassium chloride (E-509).

  🎡 Sour belching indicates an excess of acid. It enters the esophagus from the stomach, whose mucosa is not suited to an acidic environment, causing the person to experience discomfort and burning.

  🎡 Yogurt without additives, containing live bacteria, has a maximum shelf life of 3 days.

  🎡 The sugar added to yogurt promotes fermentation processes in the intestines and destroys the lacto and bifido bacteria added to it.

  🎡 In hard cheeses, bacteria have already consumed everything and died.

  🎡 If you cannot refrain from coffee, drink it without sugar and in small cups. Coffee should be consumed in its natural form and without animal-derived milk.

  🎡 Saliva contains the mucous substance mucin, which binds food and helps form boluses, so it is important to thoroughly chew food. Salivary enzymes amylase (ptyalin) and maltase work simultaneously. The digestion process begins when saliva comes into contact with food. Food treatment with lysozyme is the first defense barrier against unwanted guests in the body: bacteria, viruses, and fungi. For effective protection, lysozyme needs at least 30 seconds before it reaches the stomach acid and stops working. Moreover, well-chewed food easily moves through the digestive tract, and the body can absorb the maximum amount of nutrients. Drinking during meals dilutes digestive enzymes, which can no longer fully participate in the digestion process.

  🎡 The pancreas secretes enzymes: amylase, trypsin, and lipase. Amylase breaks down carbohydrates (potatoes, bread), trypsin proteins (nuts, meat), and lipase fats (oils, butter). The enzyme lactase, which breaks down the milk sugar lactose, is located on the surface of the villi of the small intestine.

  🎡 Pancreatic enzymes become active in the digestive process in the intestines only when they come into contact with bile.

  🎡 Cooked starch forms mucus. All products, except fresh fruits and vegetables, produce mucus to some extent, especially those that are thermally processed.

  🎡 The white color of the sclera (white of the eye) is a normal variant. Yellow indicates liver dysfunction and bile excretion problems, while red indicates a very low energy level in cell structures (for example, the person is very tired).

  🎡 The internal surface area of the human small intestine reaches 300 m².

  🎡 The release of adrenaline is triggered by both positive and negative emotions. From the body, it is excreted with urine, sweat, and tears. During such times, it is important to drink plenty of water.

  🎡 Cells need 28 amino acids. If the intestinal tract is clean and dominated by symbiotic ('good') microflora, all amino acids are synthesized. If we do not receive some macro or micronutrients with our diet, amino acid synthesis is hampered. And if some amino acids are missing, protein synthesis is disrupted.

  🎡 There are 16 vitamins, each with its function. For example, calcium in the body dissolves only in the presence of vitamin C. Vitamin C is like a transporter of calcium. If the body lacks vitamin B₅ (pantothenic acid), obesity begins, etc.

  🎡 Vitamin C must be consumed daily with food, as the body does not store it.

  🎡 Vitamin B₁₇ is found in apricot kernels.

  🎡 Cracked heels are a sign of a deficiency in polyunsaturated fatty acid omega-3 and vitamin B₃.

  🎡 Fresh carrot and pumpkin juice should have a little oil added (a teaspoon) so that fat-soluble vitamins are better absorbed.

  🎡 Our cells do not recognize synthetic vitamins because they have a different isometric projection than natural vitamins. Synthetic vitamins often "get stuck" in the liver.

  🎡 The liver synthesizes all plasma proteins.

  🎡 The stomach serves as a protective barrier that destroys viruses, fungi, bacteria, and parasites.

  🎡 If a product does not spoil and is not frozen or dried, it means that enzymes do not work in it. The body, trying to process it, spends a lot of pancreatic enzymes and energy to get rid of it.

  🎡 Erythrocytes have no nucleus; they cannot divide.

  🎡 One hemoglobin molecule can simultaneously transport 4 oxygen molecules.

  🎡 Everything we eat oxidizes, i.e., combines with oxygen. But, if metabolic processes lack oxygen, a person starts to gain weight, and thinking becomes more irrational.

  🎡 The human nose can remember about 50 thousand scents.

  🎡 Children need calcium the most at the age of 6. Sperm quality is highly dependent on calcium. There is a mistaken belief that excess calcium forms stones in the kidneys and gallbladder. It is likely the opposite - calcium deficiency causes the formation of kidney stones because it is the main maintainer of an alkaline environment. Kidney stones consist of calcium oxalates.

  🎡 Nature has given us the pleasure of eating to eat and the pleasure of sex to reproduce.

  🎡 To make suckling mammal babies suckle milk, it contains the opiate casomorphin, which calms and creates a sense of well-being. Since cheese is a concentrated form of milk, this effect is intensified, and it is a factor that makes many people cheese enthusiasts.

  🎡 Eat less, live longer. Moderation in eating is difficult for modern humans to achieve. Eating less provides more energy and makes it easier to concentrate. Experiments with animals have shown that they live longer if they receive slightly less food than they could eat.

  🎡 Like grains and seeds, egg whites contain enzyme inhibitors, so it is not advisable to eat raw egg whites, including the film between the shell and the egg white. There are harmful substances that have a destructive effect on the pancreas. In this way, nature protects bird eggs.

  🎡 The brain dies in 10 seconds without glucose (hypoglycemic coma), so it can absorb glucose directly without the participation of insulin.

  🎡 Nitrogen and sulfur are always released in the process of protein breakdown.

  🎡 For a cell to live, it needs oxygen, water, an unpolluted, slightly alkaline environment (pH=7.43), a temperature of about 36.6°C, and nutrients.

  🎡 More than 150 years ago, the atmosphere had a few percent more oxygen; now it is 21%, less in cities.

  🎡 Silicon crystals make up sand. One of the causes of hair loss is a lack of silicon. In nature, it is most found in nettles and rice, unless the soil is depleted.

  🎡 If kefir is produced by adding a special yeast, then it is a product containing fungus, similar to yeast bread. Of course, it can also be obtained with bacterial starter, which is a better choice.

  🎡 It is not recommended to drink tea or coffee from paper cups because their interior is coated with a thin layer of plastic, but upon heating, it releases the harmful substance bisphenol A. The inner lining of many plastic containers and even canned goods may contain this substance, which can interact with natural hormone receptors in the body and cause unpredictable consequences. Microplastic particles smaller than 5 microns are unfortunately found everywhere, even in the placenta. They enter the mitochondria of cells. Therefore, plastic bottles should not be kept in sunlight or warm places.

  🎡 Raw potatoes contain all the essential amino acids.

  🎡 Dairy products contain a lot of calcium, but it should be noted that it simultaneously consumes a lot to neutralize the acids produced by the proteins in milk. This can even lead to a calcium deficiency, using the body's internal reserves.

  🎡 Nuts and sunflower seeds should be eaten unroasted and without salt. All kinds of ground nuts are ideal soil for the activity of airborne mold spores, so they quickly become bitter and harmful to health. They are often contaminated with aflatoxin produced by fungi, which is a powerful carcinogen and can cause liver cancer.

  🎡 We are born with a certain number of neurons, which does not change throughout life. Memories in the brain are stored as connections between neurons.

  🎡 It has been researched that in places where centenarians live, the water has low mineralization (up to 200 mg/l) and minerals are of organic origin (from the earth's surface). The mineralization in store-bought mineral waters is about 400 to even 1000 mg/l, minerals are from rocks and are in inorganic form.

  🎡 Consuming a diet high in acid-forming products (sweetened drinks, meat, etc.), reduces enzyme activity in the body, tissues become more susceptible to infectious diseases, immunity weakens, and demineralization of bones and teeth occurs. To neutralize acids, the body consumes minerals, leading to bone and tooth diseases.

  🎡 Herbal infusions create an alkaline environment, especially bitter ones, such as wormwood, hops, centaury, etc. However, there is a condition - when preparing herbal teas, the temperature must not exceed +65°C; otherwise, minerals become inorganic, insoluble in water, and there is no medicinal effect. Creating an alkaline environment is one of the main principles on which phytotherapy is based.

  🎡 A person has more than 10,000 taste receptors on the tongue, located in taste buds. They determine chemical compounds.

  🎡 Salt attracts water. One sodium molecule can attract 10 water molecules.

  🎡 Acrylamide is a poison that forms when products are fried multiple times in the same oil. This especially applies to carbohydrates, frying them at high temperatures.

  🎡 Ptomaines are poisons released by pathogenic microflora as a result of the putrefaction of undigested proteins.

  🎡 Aspartame (sweetened drinks, chewing gum) is 200 times sweeter than sugar. In water, it breaks down into amino acids and methanol, which is a toxic substance. Further in the body, aspartame turns into the cellular poison formaldehyde.

  🎡 The main way to remove harmful substances from the body is through the lymphatic system. Physical activity promotes lymph flow.

  🎡 Hexamethylenetetramine or urotropin (E-239) is not a harmful substance; it is added, for example, to lightly salted herring or fish roe to better preserve them. However, in contact with vinegar, it forms the dangerous substance formaldehyde (formalin), which has a carcinogenic effect. Essentially, it is formalin (used to embalm corpses), which is a dangerous cellular poison.

  🎡 Kidneys concentrate toxins the most in animals, so it is not recommended to consume them as food.

  🎡 Plastic packaging should only contain neutral products, such as water, but not acidic or basic products. They should be stored in glass containers.

  🎡 Some popular brands of sweetened carbonated drinks contain orthophosphoric acid. It is a very strong acidifier (pH 2.0), which is particularly harmful to the body.

  🎡 Fresh products contain many enzymes. They are released during the chewing process and are necessary for all chemical reactions that occur in the human body. Enzymes promote digestive, metabolic, and regenerative processes, as well as strengthen immunity. Without enzymes, the body could not function properly. They are involved in all of the body's biochemical and physiological processes. Enzymes begin to inactivate at +45°C.

  🎡 Digestive enzymes in the human body are produced by the pancreas. Eating enzyme-deficient products overburdens it, as it has to produce a huge amount of digestive enzymes.

  🎡 Pepsin, secreted in the stomach, is inactivated when it comes into contact with cold foods and drinks. It only works in an acidic environment.

  🎡 Products cooked in a microwave oven have their enzymes and vitamins inactivated. Microwaves destructurize any product and make it acid-forming.

  🎡 Choose clothing made from natural origin materials (cotton, linen, wool, natural polymers) because synthetic materials disrupt the human electromagnetic field (weakening cell-to-cell communication). Moreover, wearing such clothing interferes with moisture and gas exchange. As a result, a favorable environment is created for fungi and bacteria.

  🎡 In spring, it is advisable to drink as much fresh maple and birch sap as possible. It is the best source of structured water containing many organic minerals. Freezing is the only way to store it. Other storage methods significantly reduce the sap's biological value.

Hair is collagen, which is a fibrillar protein that is part of all connective tissues (ligaments, dermis, bones, tendons), providing their strength and elasticity. Hair is a non-living structure, but it is formed from living components in our body tissues. They consist mainly of collagen keratin, there is also about 6% fat and 15% water, but hair color is determined by melanin (1% of the total hair composition). Melanin consists of two pigments: eumelanin and pheomelanin. Pigments are polymer mixtures that determine the color of hair, the iris of the eye, and skin.

Between the epidermis (outer layer) and dermis lies the basal membrane that separates these layers, above which are located the skin's pigment cells, melanocytes, which produce melanin, protecting the skin from ultraviolet radiation. The coloration with which hair is filled as it grows is obtained by melanin in the hair follicle interacting with specific enzymes. In this way, hair acquires a certain hue. However, when there is insufficient or no production of these enzymes, hair becomes translucent and grays. This happens when the hair protein keratin is filled with colorless pigment and air bubbles. If only pigment enters and there are no air bubbles, hair will not turn gray but will be white (blonde), but if only air bubbles – hair will be gray.

Melanin protects us from the spread of fungal and bacterial flora through the skin, as well as from harmful solar ultraviolet radiation and the free radicals it produces, including hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), which acts as a free radical. Over time, several factors accumulate: the result of prolonged exposure to free radicals; lack of nutrients in the hair follicle; insufficient blood supply to skin cells, melanocytes; excessive sunburn. All this promotes an increase in hydrogen peroxide, which interferes with melanin dyeing hair. It has been discovered that amino acid L-methionine helps prevent melanin synthesis disorders.

Vitamins, especially important vitamin B₁₀ (para-aminobenzoic acid), are needed for the production of pigment melanin. The enzymes necessary for this process are found in large quantities in sprouted grains.

Melanocytes make up only 5% of skin cells, but they can form benign tumors, such as moles (medical term - "nevus") and malignant ones, such as melanoma, which is a mutation of melanocytes. If the number of melanocytes decreases, depigmented spots called vitiligo form on the skin. This can indicate an autoimmune process.

  𖡎 The appearance of gray hair at an early age.

  𖡎 Very pale skin tone.

  𖡎 The appearance of light spots on the skin (vitiligo).

  𖡎 Dull eye color.

  𖡎 Skin burns after a short stay in the sun.

  𖡎 Uneven tan.

  ⚛️ Blood supply to hair follicles (nutrition).

  ⚛️ Disturbed neural stimulation (nerve damage).

  ⚛️ Endocrine system disorders. The thyroid gland produces the enzyme tyrosinase, which ensures melanin production from tyrosine and phenylalanine. If there is a lack of this enzyme, melanin production is disturbed. For example, dark-skinned people have more of this enzyme, but light-skinned people have less, and people with albinism do not have it at all.

  ⚛️ Hair combing and scalp massage.

  ⚛️ Hair dyeing. When dyeing hair with low-quality dyes, many harmful substances inevitably enter the body, spreading throughout the organism.

  ⚛️ Negative effects of prolonged use of hormonal drugs and antibiotics.

  ⚛️ Vitamin B₁₂ deficiency.

Everything green contains a lot of iron, so greens – sorrel, chard, nettles, horseradish. Iron is in sprouted grains and nuts, along with many trace elements.
