We've all read about deep breathing as a means to help us relax, but other methods and natural products may induce that state. Kava kava, valerian root, chamomile tea, St. John's Wort, SAMe, Melatonin, and Tryptophan the amino acid and Casein from warmed milk may help you relax and may be a easy gentler means to defeat insomnia also.

The New Food Model
For years the current food model has basically limited its view of foods to 4 basic groups, even though that is technically accurate it may not be complete. Foods explained as carbohydrates, proteins, fats and dairy are in some ways essential along with activity as the model suggests, but we must expand that view further. Metabolism , not the Gastro-intestinal system is the system that stabilizes all functioning to maintain health. To be more specific, it's cellular metabolism that is the place where the mechanics of a process bio-energetics maintains life.
The Food Model needs to address our new and modern generations understanding and awareness of alternative proteins such as Soy, Whey, Casein, and sources such as brown rice, chick peas, lentils, walnuts, and beans. It needs to show alternative carbohydrate and sugar sources besides sucrose and honey, but more fruits. It should include natural sweetners that are alternatives to table sugar such as Stevia and others such as Xylitol. There are other fats beside the unsaturated fats in many fried foods and red meats and the poly-unsaturated fats from plant sources. There are mono-unsaturated fats from olive oil and oils from canola as well. Our new Food Model must reflect fats that are healthy particularly the Essential Fats found in Omega 3,6,9 oils particularly DHA, EPA, ALA, GLA. The linonlenic acid and linoleic acids from flax, flax seed, safflower, black currant, evening primrose, sunflower, soy, peanut, borage oil, wheat germ and eggs are important alternatives .
But, the food model should also reflect "micro-nutrients" that are the essential building blocks of human life . This is how "cellular bio-fuels" are able to utilize and sustain nutritional balance and produce energy. These "micro-foods" or "nano-nutrition" include vitamins, antioxidants, enzymes(pro-biotics), and minerals(electrolytes). They are consumed as direct or indirectly as foods and need to be addressed in the overall model.
How can a food model be complete without "nano-nutrition" that are being put together and manufactured in the cell daily? They effect the biochemical processing to make foods available for the cell for metabolism when we are on auto-pilot, they act as biochemicals that can fight potential mutations that later lead to diseases such as cancer or heart disease . A an on a even more "micro" level, they make available electrons from atoms that "act" as nutrient fortifiers such as iron delivering oxygen or sulfur being carried in cysteine or vitamins aiding calcium delivery for bones, teeth and muscles.The trace element Chromium Picolinate helps stabilize blood sugar(this is not the hexavalent toxic form). There is the protein carrier known as L-carnitine which is known to carry and remove fat so it can be burned more efficiently as energy as well.
Another area that is not touched in the current foods model are herbals(roots, berries,cereals, teas). They were the first medicines and foods from a hunter-gathering society until the start of the 20th century. Many of the indigenous cultures still utilize them as the sole source of healing, but many a western drug laboratory will tell you that their research of herbs in the jungles of South America were the basis for many of their pharmaceutical products.Many organic herbal plants contain important sources to maintain longevity and balanced metabolism. Guarana from South America has an anti-platelet chemical to reduce clot formation, Ginko helps memory, Gynemma helps stabilizes blood sugar.
THE BAD SIDE OF NUTRITION
As nutrition is healthy there can be a bad side to nutrition or unhealthy forms of it. The "back side" is this unhealthy part that must be understood as well so as to avoid it. There are unhealthy fats such as the saturated fats that is causing the primary fat source leading to obesity today, but others include trans or hydrogenated fats seen in fat greasy fried foods. Many margarines , french fries, hamburgers and snack foods contain these fats. An associated "bad product" that is a by-product of this frying process especially with french fries is Acrilimide.It is known to be a potential carcinogen.
Are there bad proteins? Protein shakes drew a lot of concern and were associated with numerous health problems as a sole a sole dietary source for weight loss and needs to always to be carefully reviewed and understood. Some who are in a weight or body building program have resorted to creatinine as a means to build muscle mass, but be cautious with it as weight gain and redistribution of electrolytes might be an issue. However, healthier amino acid sources such as Branched Chain Amino Acids(BCAAs) may serve as a better source to help build lean muscle mass.
Some concerns have been raised about sources of soy proteins. The tip is to know your sources of soy. Fermented soy is healthier and also be aware of soy isolates which may be a concern . As a caveat the phyto-estrogen in soy acts as an inhibitor of natural estrogen which may give women protection, but ironically may be the cause of concerns for extra estrogen loads leading to health issues. Be aware.
In this new era everything will potentially be cloned, so that genetically modified organisms(products) to make meats particularly be in the markets. The "frankin-fish" that are being farmed may have some issue with it as we do not know its effects on the cells. But, other concerns for meats is enhancing their protein with growth hormones and estrogen. We still need to understand the concern of antiobiotics being fed to livestock as well as pesticides, insecticides and herbicides. We should be aware of irradiated foods or foods from irradiated locations as well.
What about bad carbohydrates? As there are good sources with fruits and vegetables there are also bad sugar sources. Most of them which are in question are "processed" sugars. The average American consumes up to 120-150 pounds of table sugar(sucrose) annually, but other sweetner substances are bringing more concerns than table sugar to the health of Americans today. These substances are found in soft drinks, snacks, and cereals that children are particularly fond of.
The American Academy of Pediatrics is particularly concerned about High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) which appears to be the primary cause for rising rates of childhood obesity, premature heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes , liver disease and precocious puberty especially in girls. Another sweet substance is Aspartame which comes from a processed methanol-like substance. There have been reports it has been associated with several neruological disorders such as seizures, brain turmors and effects on cognitive functioning.Sucralose(the pink stuff) was discoverd accidentally as a pesticide agent. Need I say more. But, this are the things that we are sprinkling on top of our foods.
Even how we cook foods has grave concerns. Microwaving has the ability to denature protein. Overcooking to a burnt crisp not only makes more carcinogenic agents such as oxygen free radicals, but the National Cancer Institute studies showed how barbecued and grilled foods did pose a noticeable threat to our diet. When the fat portion on meats are cooked the smoke in it can contain Poly-Aromatic Hydrocarbons(PAHS) a known carcinogen to occur. But, when the meaty protein of chicken, steak, and even fish are overcooked their is a change in the meat substance creating a carcinogen known as Heterocyclic Amines.
The food model has to be broadened into a wider inclusive interactive model that can educate and demonstrate how these foods effect not just our diet , but our lifestyles.
Learn more from Dr. Wells book "Nano-Nutrition" on how to utilize the best and healthiest sources of micro-nutrients and bio-fuels for a more balanced metabolism and healthier lifestyle to prevent chronic illness.

What Makes Fish So Good
For a long time fish was taken only as a delicacy or for those of us on holiday. But, studies indicate fish are healthier sources of protein and micronutrients, too. The Omega 3 oil in fatty fish are high also in calcium. The higher protein containing fish also include salmon, mackrel, sardines and tuna. Tuna is noted for having high amounts of selenium which works as an antioxidant and helps cardiac functioning especially for those with heart failure.It has potassium that helps cellular electricity and helps reduce blood pressure.Tuna also has Vitamin D to make strong bones and Magnesium. While Herring has higher Vitamin B6 and Phosphorous.
Omega 3 oil has properties that reduce blood viscosity or thickness that causes the aggregation of platelets that make clots. It also reduces lipids or the fats in the blood. Omega 3 oil appears to repair damaged circulation to tissue by improving blood flow and reduce inflammation in the blood vessels.
Omega 3 oil has been indicated in reducing Parkison's Disease, Alzheimers and improving overall cognition for brain functioning.
Always be aware of your fish sources. Cold compressed fish are best for Omega 3 oil. Be cautious of mercury poisoning or PCBs(benzenze derivatives, and Poly-Aromoatic Hydrocarbons from oil and gas and toxic locations.

Quick Alternative Protein Sources
We need proteins in our bodies to create strong muscles and help produce biochemicals that help in every cellular process. Typically the American diet contains high amounts of protein from meat sources particularly red meats. But, there are other meats such as chicken, pork, fish, seafoods such as shrimp, mussels, oyster,clams, squid and octopus as well. Some also are familiar with organ meats in their diet such as liver to make pate which can create high amounts of uric acids that leads to gout. But, red meats of themselves run the risk of high amounts of cholesterol , sea foods must be carefully selected depending the season in which you eat them in and being aware of toxic bacteria or chemical exposures they may harbor. Fish must be monitored for mercury poisonin particular. Pork must be properly cured and scanned for parasites.
But, other forms of protein do exist that can supplement your body to get exactly what it needs. This includes soy products such as tofu, miso, and natto. The Japanese community is especially familiar with these.
Casein an amino acid that comes from milk sources is another possibility. Any allergy has to be considered as does the product whey which can be used, too as an alternative.
Beans such as kidney beans, chili beans, black beans, garbanzo, black eyed peas, green beans, green peas, lentil and brown rice are other protein sources to consider.
Don't forget about walnuts, pecans and penuts or almonds as other sources to consider to obtain protein.
Diary products(lactoproteins) are another source , but lactose intolerance must be considered. With eggs there can be allergies to them as well, but the avidin and the high amounts of cholesterol makes this source less likely a first level source.

Foods That Heal
We are finally today in the high tech world of biomedicine looking at how fruits and vegetables are not mere table decoration or party snacks. But, foods can have a potent healing potential to help us have a better metabolism, improve immunity, prevent cancer and live longer and stronger.
Several foods appear to contain more vitamins and antioxidants than others and make a difference in our daily lives by making a healthier lifestyle.
For example it has been known for ages particularly amongst women that craberry juice can help alleviate urinary tract infections.
Men today are eating more tomatoes than ever with the knowledge of the caretnoid called lycopen which helps relieve prostate symptoms and is beleived to help prevent prostate cancer. It is best to eat your tomatoes boiled to get most of the nutrient from it.Lycopene reduces both the risk of prostatic cancer and its spread. Lycopene may also be useful in the case of pancreatic cancer as well.
Studies at Harvard have also been looking into the protective effect broccoli has in preventing bladder cancer.Tufts University has looked at how watermelon, bananas and orange juice may help reduce blood pressure. Papaya juice appears to be a better nutrients source than orange juice in fighting gall bladder disease as well.
Green leafy vegetables such as collard greens contain lots of vitamin D and calcium for bones. Dark green leafy vegetables also have vitamin K which is good for clot factors which are made in the liver. These sources of Vitamin K include spinach, brussel sprouts and broccoli, too.

Super Foods Part 3
Foods like Freekeh have high amounts of an antioxidant called zexacanthin which help with vision. These caretnoids are a large family of various groups.
A good source of flavonoids is Rotabega. A known powder from the east which lowers LDL cholesterol is Feugreek mostly from Egypt. Just 3-5 grams of the soluble fiber is all that is needed to get a healthy effect.
A lot of controversy has occured over the use of onions and garlic to help reduce LDL cholesterol and high blood pressure. Anecdotally they appear to have some adjunctive support to one's diet particularly in the Mediterranean culture. This may be because they are eating olives, taking olive oil in salads, drinking a glass or two of red wine and are an active people as well.Leeks may have a play a healthy role in lowering cholesterol also.
But, in the east Indian culture a product called Guggul has been used as a means to lower LDL cholesterol in Ayurvedic healing arts.
Another good product to consider to improve one's good cholesterol called HDL is Niacin.

We are learning more about exotic foods of the Mediterranean and Caribbean. Many tropical foods have many vitamins and antioxidants to help maintain one's health.Some of these include mango which has lots of vitamin E and is a very potent antioxidant and can help prevent Alzheimer's. Yogurt is common in many countries of the Caucasas and is of a dairy based nature. It contains rich calcium for making strong bones, teeth and muscles, vitamin B for your blood and Magnesium for strong bones, and for keeping your blood vessels from being to tense and therefore reduces blood pressure.

Super Foods Part 1
We are learning not only what are good and healthy foods to eat for gut motility and taste, but what nutrients they contain that could help cellular metabolism. These sources are numerous beginning with Prunes which are great potassium sources. Potassium helps the cellular electricity so that wiring of the heart, nerve and gut keeps movement just right. The FDA has given permission to allow potassium makers to say it can be indicated to lower blood pressure. Also prunes are a great fiber source for constipation. Be sure to drink plenty of water along with them to wash them down and to stay well hydrated.
Another great fiber source is Jicama that contains plenty of vitamin C which is very good antioxidant which helps premature aging, protects heart function and prevents against premature skin agins. Jicama also has the prebiotic Inulin for healthy gut bacteria digestion.
Don't forget barley which has Glucan to help lower LDL cholesterol.Oat bran is a great fiber source that helps reduce cholesterol, too. Oat contains manganese, tryptophan, selenium which helps heart health, and magnesium.
Beets are good not only because they taste good but convert nitrites to nitrous oxide which is a potent vasodilator. This eases the tightness on blood vessels and reduces blood pressure.

Smart Food Sources
Scientist are looking at how Ginkoloids(from Ginko Biloba) can help increase brain circulation. Millions Americans have vasculature insufficiency that causes a whole slew of porblems for adequate supply of oxygenated blood to the brain. Omega 3 oils help with the brains cognitive function and contain be obtained in certain fish (salmon,sardines, tuna) and nuts (almonds, walnut). We have seen how Vitamin B12 can help make up the brains membrane and helps in the dosral column roots that control for balance and proprioception as well. The hormone DHEA is important for brain function as well as L-Carnitine. Lecithin is vital for helping to form the sheath that covers brain and nerves called sphingomyelin.

Food products boost brain ability
New studies have revealed that B Vitamins help withthe cognitive function of the brain. Vitamins B6 and B12 in particular. B 12 helps with the repair of the brains coverin called sphingomyelin, the sheath that is around all nerves as well. Proprioception is improved as well as balance with these vitamins and are very important for new borns for brain development.Along with Folate these vitamines reduce the negative effects of homocysteine and brain atrophy. Other brain potentiating effects can be seen with Ginko biloba which contains ginkoloids wich are antioxdants. Omega 3 oils help with brain circulation and can be obrtained from salmon and almonds. This effect also helps cognitive function. Lecithin also is imprtant for the brain because it is the natural layer that portects the brain and makes up grey matter for cognitive functioning.DHEA improves the brains functioning as well as L-Carnitine/
Other products that play a vital role for brain function are vitamin E, Almonds, co-enzyme Q-10 a potent antioxidant and DHEA which both help with memory.

Natural vasodilatation effects of foods
Many of the cardiovascular symptoms of cardiovascular and diabetic disease is from poor circulation. The inability of vessels to open up wide enough to receive blood is key. But, some foods contain Nano-nutritional products that may help with that mechanism called vaso-dilatation or dilating the vessels for blood to get through .
Beet juice contains nitrous oxide that helps with opening up the vessel as well as Ginko biloba that contain flavonols(ginkoloids) that help reduce patelet stickiness and opens up blood vessels. Pycnegenol along with arginine have this same effect, too. We are looking at how Goji berries do this and it is most interesting. goji seems to help in diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer. Its ability to help brain and eye health has been written about.
Hawthorne has become a major popular prduct to help open up the circulation and is used greatly for cardio-vascular assistance.This is due to the flavonoids it contains.It therefore helps blood flow to the heart and helps improve heart rate, too.Hawthorne is also a powerful antioxidant.
Omega 3 oils help reduce blood stickiness and thickness by reducing clot potential and thus aids in blood flow . The mineral magnesium helps with making the smooth muscle of blood vessels relax so that th ecaptiance of taking on more blood flow is greater and therefore helps reduce blood pressure. Many of the above products contain a product which is known to be made in the human body called nitrous oxide. It helps keeps blood vessels open for heart circulation as well as help men with tumesence. The use of these above products may reduce the use of medical -chemical vaso-dilators we get from prescriptions like nitroglycerin, hydralazine, and clonidine. Many vasodilators are "central acting" or brain center acting effectors that have numerous side effects

The Anti-Clot mechanism from Foods
We now know that clotting is an extremely dangerous event in cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack, stroke, pulmonary embolism and peripheral vascular diseases. Currently conventional medical therapy calls for aspirin, coumadin, heparin and plavix(clopidogrel) to help reduce the "stickiness" of platelets that cause clots.
But, the enzyme Nattokinase from the soy derivatives of soy may help with this. Brazilian studies have looked at how Guarana helps to reduce platelet adhesion and aggregation. Cayenne helps in some unusual manner as well as the flavonols found in chocolate.

Natural Anit-Inflammatory Healing Potential of Foods
Currently our commercial food and drug line of products are over run with chemicals that do as much harm as they can do good. The artificial synthetic products run the risk of numerous side effects. As Cardiovascular disease and cancer still rank at the top of the list, we've found ways to help reduce the biochemical action that causes these chronic diseases which is inflammation and oxidation of cells at the cellular level.
NATURAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AGENTS
Currently the first thing we do when we get a bump or bruise is reach for an aspirin. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents come in all shapes in sizes over the counter and by prescription. We are told that they are useful for colds, aches, and even to prevent blod clotting mechanisms in the blood vessels and heart.
However natural anti-inflammatory agents are made in the human body and also come from nature as well. Niacin and Niacinamide(Kaufman.MD/Ph.D) have shown successful effects which is a micronutrient. Fish Oil such as Omega 3 is another excellent source such as DHA and EPA. Fish that are cold compressed from ocean sources are the best(Tna, Sardines, Salmon). Berries such as cranberries and Magosteen have anti-inflammatory properties, too including the antoxidant powers of cherries and strawberries .We're going to hear a lot more bout various types of berries later on.
Other anti-inflammatory agents are cayenne pepper as well as its derivative capsaician. Nattokinase from the soy product Natto is known to contain anti-inflammatory effects , too. Certain worms have an enzyme called lumbrokinase that act as an anti-inflammatory agent.
Inflammation is a major effect for both heart disease and cancer development. In heart disease platelets clumbp up together to create more of a clot with scarring on the inside of a vessel.

NATURAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AGENTS
Currently the first thing we do when we get a bump or bruise is reach for an aspirin. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents come in all shapes in sizes over the counter and by prescription. We are told that they are useful for colds, aches, and even to prevent blod clotting mechanisms in the blood vessels and heart.
However natural anti-inflammatory agents are made in the human body and also come from nature as well. Niacin and Niacinamide(Kaufman.MD/Ph.D) have shown successful effects which is a micronutrient. Fish Oil such as Omega 3 is another excellent source such as DHA and EPA. Fish that are cold compressed from ocean sources are the best(Tna, Sardines, Salmon).

Foods Can Act Like Micro-"Medicine" at Cellular Level
Foods have been critical now more than ever in our world fighting for less toxic and healthier sources of nutrients to combat disease. Foods have often been looked upon as only a "macrobiotic" source for energy and for nutrients, but newer science shows us that "microbiotic" functions of foods due to their vitamins, antioxidants, enzymes, minerals and herbs can have wider implications to fight cancer disease effects that lead to heart disease and cancer .Fish , particularly those that are cold-compressed or sea dwelling are greater sources for Omega 3 oils by help reducing cholesterol, improve brain phhysiology and help heart health. These omega 3 oils may be found in Tuna, Mackerel, Lake trout, Herring, SArdines, Albacore, Halibut and salmon. But, we are also finding sources in walnuts, and oils such as flaxseed, canaloa and soybeans. As heart disease continues to be the flax, number one killer, we might improve it by what we put into our mouths.
We find that other LDL-choleterol lowering micronutrients such as phytostanols and phytosterols may help lower LDL, the cholesterol more assocated with heart disease.
Most of us are wondering what level of fat show I keep my intake at. A good rule of thumb is 30% of total and keep the saturated fats at 10%. Be we are seeing that fats that are called trans fats from our favorite foods , especially fried, called trans fats are causing a lot of problems with premature disease and death. French fries, potato chips and many commercial snack foods contain these(crackers, biscuits, puffed snacks).
The method in which we cook foods may be having a great effect on us at the cellular level. This includes new studies from the National Cancer Institute(NCI) that has looked at grilling and frying foods as a method which protein and fat chemistry is changed in meats leading to toxic particles.
The change in proteins such as chicken and red meats makes a toxin called Heterocyclic Amines(HCA) and the fat dripping from cooking is called Polyaromatic-Hydrocarbons(PAHs). Thesed both act as carcinogens.
The oxidation of fats and proteins has been looked act as the cause of both heart disease and cancer the #1 and #2 causes of disease in our country.
Nano-Nutrition will explore the science of Nutrition and the micronutrients that they contain. These "Nano-Nutrition" can help destructive processes at the cell such as denaturing protein and destruction of DNA or cell membrane. These micronutrients is a "micro-medical" way of health that we take for granted when we eat certain items over time. The accumulative effect of them can lead to illness.
More fruits, vegetables and grains(cereals/fiber) contain many nutrients that can improve quality of life .
