How Uric Acid Crystals Formed |
20 Apr |
Uric acid crystals cause horrible gout symptoms. These symptoms are formed whenever the body has a high level of uric acid in their blood. The uric acid is produced when the purines in the cells of our body metabolize during processes to provide us with our needed energy and protein and in protecting our cells from agents causing cancer and other many great benefits. Uric acid is produced as result of the breaking down of purines. This uric acid that is produced will be processed through the kidney with most of it being excreted through our urine. The low level that is left in our blood is very beneficial. But if the kidneys are not working efficiently or if too much uric acid is produced, not enough acid will be expelled. The excess will then be retained and will be circulated in the blood with a level that is higher than normal. Then the crystals will be deposited in your joints which causes the agonizing gout.

Truth about Fasting |
8 Apr |
Many people are afraid of fasting. Most often, people are afraid of something because they don’t have any idea on that something. This is an example of how fear of the unknown works. Likewise, for many people, they only have little idea on the processes happening on their physiology during fasting.
Fasting is defined as a state of a complete rest physiologically. Fasting is accomplished by stopping eating and just drinking only clean and pure water. It is ideally done in an environment where there is minimal mental and physical exertion.
When animals get sick, it is in their nature to just lie down and sleep. They will rest without food until they will get better. This is both and entirely effective and instinctive behavior.
When fasting, there are some contradictions. For example is if you are in a certain type of cancer or if you are suffering from anorexia. In these conditions, you may not have reserves to buffer them against stress of detoxification or nourishing the body. On the other hand, fasting is great for those who are planning to have a baby, but it is not suitable to those who are already pregnant.
