Digestion and utilization of protein

Since protein is a macromolecular substance and cannot penetrate cell membranes, human intake of protein must pass through the digestive system to decompose macromolecular proteins into amino acids of small molecules before they can be absorbed by the human body, but can amino acids be absorbed by the body? Being used by the human body to synthesize bodily tissue is another story. After amino acids are absorbed into the blood, there are roughly three ways: 1. to be oxidized and turned into heat. 2. Enter the metabolic pathways of carbohydrates and fats. 3. Synthesize body tissues, muscles, hormones, hair nails and more. It is important to note that various cells in the body use only the required dose of amino acids to meet protein requirements. For example, building a house requires cement, wood, steel bars, and bricks. Without any of them, the house cannot be built. The same is true for the human body. For humans, there are 8 essential amino acids and non-essential amino acids. We mus...

The importance of protein

Image
Protein is the foundation of life. I think you have seen this sentence countless times. A simple sentence is enough to express the importance of protein. Our body's nerves, muscles, bones, internal organs, antibodies, skin, some hormones, and even nails, hair, all contain protein. The protein of the human body is always in a dynamic balance of decomposition and synthesis. Protein is the life basis of matter. It can be said that without protein, there is no life. If the protein intake from the outside world is insufficient, in order to ensure normal metabolism, it can only decompose its own protein. Just imagine, your skin needs to be renewed every day, your red blood cells need to be renewed every day, and so on, the protein intake is not enough, the body can only tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, where to tear it down? Most of them are removed from the muscles, because your skin can help you resist external bacteria, red blood cells can help you transport oxyge...

How to get B vitamins from food

Image
Nowadays many people are deficient in B vitamins. Why? Which groups are most in need of supplementation? 1. Reasons why B vitamins are easy to be deficient The vitamin B family of grains is mainly found in the germ, and eating refined rice and noodles with added alkaline will lead to insufficient intake of vitamin B family. Frequent drinking, smoking, and drinking coffee can affect vitamin absorption or increase consumption. Taking western medicine for a long time can reduce the absorption of vitamins, and vitamins are easily destroyed in an alkaline environment. For example, antibiotics can inhibit the production of endogenous B vitamins by normal intestinal flora. Improper cooking methods, such as excessive stewing, frying, frying, and boiling, will lead to a large amount of vitamin loss. 2. Which groups need supplementation? People who have heavy work and study tasks and often stay up late and are stressed. Frequent dysmenorrhea, irritability, pessimism and menopausal women. People ...

Chinese medicine to help people with yin and blood deficiency fall asleep

Image
Tell a story: In 1903, Mr. Zhang Taiyan and the progressive youth Zou Rong were arrested and imprisoned. Mr. Zhang Taiyan is proficient in traditional Chinese medicine and observed Zou Rong's symptoms. The syndrome is that he is exhausted and restless. This is exactly the corresponding disease of "Huanglian Ejiao Decoction" in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", so he asked someone to buy Ejiao and Huanglian. After taking a few medicines, Zou Rong's anxiety symptoms eased and he could fall asleep peacefully. Regarding the "Huanglian Ejiao Decoction", Zhang Zhongjing described it like this: "Shaoyin disease, if you get it for two or three days, you will be upset and not allowed to." This recipe is very simple, only five herbs: Coptis chinensis, Scutellaria baicalensis, peony, donkey-hide gelatin and egg yolk. Among them, donkey-hide gelatin nourishes the heart, and Huanglian clears the mind. The two are matched, which is equivalent to building...

Image
Insomnia is very common, especially with the increase of life pressure, many young people in their 20s and 30s have entered the ranks of insomnia. It is also insomnia, with different manifestations, some have difficulty falling asleep, some wake up early, some sleep lightly, some dream all night, and wake up like no sleep... There is a very common situation, that is, you are obviously very tired, but the more tired you are, the more you can't sleep. . If you go to a Chinese medicine doctor, you will definitely be diagnosed as false, insomnia is "bluffing", and the state of the body "strengthening the spirit" continues into the night, and people can't sleep. The excitation and inhibition of our body are alternated. Under normal circumstances, people will gradually enter a state of inhibition at night. We do not advocate exercising at night, because we are afraid of interfering with this state of inhibition and causing insomnia. The first reason that the more ...

What foods can nourish the brain

Image
The human brain has a huge number of nerve cells, about 100 billion, which are the basic unit of the brain. However, human brain cells are in a process of constant reduction. And it is generally believed that brain nerve cells are not regenerable. Brain nerve cells are really dead, one less one, exhaustion does not help, everyone cherish. Studies have shown that various foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and phytonutrients can improve memory, improve concentration, mood, and maintain brain function to a certain extent. So, based on this, let's introduce some of the more common brain-boosting and intellectual foods in daily life. Fish: Salmon, sardines, salmon and other deep-sea fish, because they are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, can provide high levels of antioxidants and vitamin E, etc., which help to delay the aging of the brain. Fish head is rich in lecithin, which is an important component of neurotransmitter synthesis in the human brain, which can enhance human me...

Too lazy to use the brain, it is the brain to save energy

Image
Unwilling to use their brains, refusing to accept new things, not wanting to innovate... When these problems arise, people will say that this person is too lazy to use their brains and is too conservative. The root cause of many people being too lazy to use their brains is that their bodies are weak and they do not have enough energy to supply their brains. The brain has to be lazy in order to save energy. The brain is responsible for thinking, and thinking requires energy, and the energy demand is still high. Although the weight of the brain is only 2% of the body weight, the daily operation of the brain needs to consume 25% of the energy of the whole body. If you rack your brains, the energy consumption is even higher. However, any life has a kind of wisdom, which is to save energy as much as possible when maintaining daily operations. Once an organ or tissue completes its physiological function and loses its existence value, the body will immediately cut off its energy supply, makin...

Who can recover from cancer?

Cancer is a high incidence now, but many cancers have been conquered and are not incurable for a long time, but some people still die of cancer. And some cancers have always held the position of "king of cancer". The cure rate has not changed for many years, but some people can still recover. Who can recover from cancer? Oncologists of Chinese and Western medicine have a consensus that there are two kinds of people: one who does not understand everything, and the other who understands everything. Those who don't understand mostly refer to those who have low education level, have no understanding of the disease, and believe what the doctor says. Such people recover easily. Because one, they follow doctor's orders; two, they don't have the ability to think blindly. Because I don't understand anything, I can't even think about it, but my heart is calm. Most of the people who understand it are people with high cultural literacy, and their pattern is also very ...

Why Medications Prescribed by Doctors Can't Treat High Blood Pressure

Image
 Why do doctors prescribe medicines that "treat the symptoms but not the root cause"? Is the doctor not responsible? No, but because of the root cause of high blood pressure, you can't get rid of it yourself, and medicine is difficult to get rid of, but if you don't control your blood pressure, it will cause other acute diseases. For example, cerebral hemorrhage and myocardial infarction can be fatal. Although antihypertensive drugs cannot remove the cause of elevated blood pressure, they can remove the aftermath of elevated blood pressure. Therefore, antihypertensive drugs are both emergency measures and expedient measures. When the doctor prescribes antihypertensive drugs, he will definitely instruct you: drink less alcohol, eat less salty food, exercise more, keep your mouth shut, open your legs... The patient promises, but very few of them can actually be implemented. If this is really done, high blood lipids, high blood sugar, and arteriosclerosis will not come t...

Is high blood pressure a disease?

Image
High blood pressure, the body says: Insufficient blood supply Antihypertensive drugs only make the body not "speak", but may not solve the fundamental problem of making the body "speak" Hypertension is a chronic disease. If you go to see a doctor, the doctor will remind you: it is best to take medicine for life. Many patients are afraid when they hear: Lifetime? Will there be dependencies? Will you eat more and more? will there be any side-effects? These worries are reasonable. After all, taking too much medicine is harmful to the body. If you have to rely on it to live your life, it will be very uncomfortable! But everyone dare not disobey the doctor's advice, otherwise the body will show you a color: as long as the drug is stopped or the dose is reduced, the blood pressure will be high again. But how do you feel after taking the medicine? Patients often complain like this: "The blood pressure has dropped, but it is still uncomfortable, even more uncomfort...

How can I avoid bad emotions?

Image
Maintain proper space and distance First of all, you need to understand that you need to adjust your state before helping others. Between you and the other party, you need to maintain a certain space and distance. While helping the person you want to help, make sure you don't get carried away by his negativity. For example, you can maintain your normal, necessary social activities. Also, you must also believe that your positive and good state can bring more help to others and become a source of good atmosphere. Take care of yourself Second, when caring about others, don't forget about yourself. When I am hurt or stressed, the first thing I usually do is realize that the result must be caused by an emotion. This means that you need to take the time to evaluate and heal yourself. After taking the time to perceive your own emotions, take corresponding measures or actions in a targeted manner. Seek multiple ways Not only for others, but also for yourself. You can tell other friends...

Emotions and Illness

Image
The research on emotion in modern medical psychology has revealed the negative mechanism of emotion in psychosomatic diseases. Many diseases are related to human emotions. Negative emotional experiences such as tension, anxiety, depression, trouble, sadness, and disappointment in daily life can lead to negative emotions. Accumulation is the main cause of some diseases. 1. Emotions and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Some bad emotions such as anxiety, fear, anger and other emotions can lead to increased blood pressure, while severe and long-term anxiety and tension will cause central nervous system dysfunction, endocrine dysfunction, increase blood volume, and further increase blood pressure. More seriously, rage causes a surge in red blood cell counts, faster blood clotting, faster heart rate, and a sharp rise in blood pressure, which can have serious consequences. High blood pressure can cause cerebral blood vessels to rupture; blood coagulation too fast can lead to cereb...

Bad mood and the health

Image
Nowadays under such pressure, everyone is inevitably in a bad mood. There are more and more psychological counseling and psychotherapy. Many people even study psychology on their own. They can not only counsel others, but also help themselves. But in fact, bad mood is by no means a psychological problem, because human beings are emotional animals, body and mind are one, and they also influence each other. Bad mood can damage the body, and vice versa. Showing up, even the body is calling the police, telling you: "I'm not feeling well" Do emotions affect health? The answer to this question is yes! Many doctors, psychiatrists, and psychologists acknowledge this. Before going into specifics, let's look at an experiment: Elma's Emotion and Health Experiment American psychologist Elma, in order to study the impact of anger on human health, conducted a very simple experiment: he put ice and water in a cup to form ice water at 0°C. Insert a glass test tube into a co...

Causes and Solutions of Frigidity in Men and Women

Image
A well-known TCM oncologist talked about a phenomenon in a meeting: his patients were well conditioned with drugs, but after returning home to reunite with their families during the festival and New Year, a few of them got worse. At first, he thought it was very strange. He took the medicine on time, the nutrition was not bad, and his family took good care of him. Why did his condition worsen? After inquiring, he found out that it turned out that after going home, he had sex, and my condition worsened. When a man's body encounters a serious illness or injury, the first thing to stop is the spermatogenic function of the testis. Only when the body recovers can the spermatogenic function of the testis return to normal. Although any creature takes reproduction as its vocation, this vocation must be completed under the premise of ensuring its own health. Once there is a contradiction between the vocation and life, the body will cut off its vocation for its own survival. Not giving birth...

Causes of apathy and frigidity

Image
Apathy is the body's energy saving, it is a body's self-protection mechanism Absence of sexual desire and indifference of sexual desire are the reasons why many people seek medical treatment. They feel that there is no desire at all, and that is definitely a big deal. It is true that sexual desire is the driving force for sexual function. Without sexual desire, sexual function becomes a decoration. They always think that sexual function is a use or a waste, and it is reasonable. Gaozi said, "Eating sex are the foundation of man". Although Gaozi is not a scientist, his understanding of life is very accurate. Appetite and sexual desire are the most basic instincts, just like appetite, whether it is human or animal. Because as long as any creature lives, there are actually only two major events in its life: one is to live by itself, and the other is to let future generations live. "Food" guarantees oneself, and "color" guarantees future generations. T...

Precautions for wearing wigs

Image
1. Wearing wigs for a long time may aggravate the problem of hair loss. Because there are many wigs on the market, their air permeability is not very good.

External manifestations of the liver

Image
The tendons are a kind of connecting joints and muscles, and have the function of maintaining the extension, flexion, extension, rotation and other activities of the limbs. The reason why the liver dominates the tendons mainly means that the fascia of the whole body depends on the nourishment of the liver blood. Therefore, although the movement of the human body is the function of the tendons, it is related to the rise and fall of the liver blood.
