  Normally we presume that oxygen is important as we inhale it and carbon dioxide is useless, but this fact may surprise you that carbon dioxide is more important for controlling the urge to breathe, while oxygen is essential for metabolic survival. The body monitors carbon dioxide levels to regulate the breathing rate and maintain blood pH between (7.35 to 7.45) levels, making carbon dioxide primary driver of ventilation, whereas oxygen levels must drop to function as an emergency stimulus. Now the question is why carbon dioxide is more important for respiratory drive. The brain triggers the urge to breath primary when carbon dioxide levels rise, but not due to drop in oxygen levels. Carbon dioxide acts as buffer to maintain proper acid-base balance in the blood. Excess carbon dioxide makes blood acidic, demanding immediate removal of carbon dioxide. While carbon dioxide is the normal driver, low oxygen levels (hypoxia) will eventually trigger rapid breathing, though this is a s...

  Drumstick leaves, more formally known as Moringa leaves often called a "superfood," and scientifically it is true. Leaves are incredibly nutrient-dense, especially for a leafy green. Moringa oleifera is the scientific name for the entire "drumstick tree," a, nutrient-rich plant Species native to South Asia. Moringa leaves are famous for having a mineral content that rivals (and often exceeds) common dietary staples. Why moringa leaves are Impressive? Answer is high bioavailability. Moringa leaves can easily and fully absorbed in our gut and used by the body, reaching its target site, usually the bloodstream, in a significant amount and at an excellent rate. For oral intake, it means a substantial percentage of the active ingredient gets into the systemic circulation to have an effect, compared to a lower percentage with low bioavailability. Digestibility: The protein in drumstick leaves can easily absorbed in our gut compared to other legumes and grains. Why it...

Oxalates (or oxalic acid) are naturally occurring compounds found in plants. They serve as a defence mechanism for the plant, acting as a "chemical shield" against eaten by insects and animals, and helping the plant manage its calcium levels and to aid in photosynthesis. For humans, these compounds considered "antinutrients" because they can interfere with nutrient absorption and contribute to kidney stones in susceptible individuals. How Oxalates Work In the plant world, oxalates often bind with minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. When they bind with calcium, they form calcium oxalate crystals. Under a microscope, these crystals look like tiny, sharp needles called raphides. (Raphides defined as needle-like crystals of calcium oxalate that can puncture skin, potentially leading to dermal irritations when workers touch them during the harvesting and processing of plant tissues.) Why we talk about oxalates. There are antinutrients found in plant-b...

  When we think of body fat, many of us immediately focus our attention on easy and quick way to get rid of it. Not all fat is bad,   some fat stores energy, some protects life, and some actually burns calories. Let's find out fats in the human body, location of the fat and role in the body              Biological classification of human body fat is as below: 1.   Essential fat is the minimum amount of body fat required for basic, healthy physiological functioning, including protecting organs, regulating hormones (including fertility), and absorbing vitamins. Found in the brain, bone marrow, nerves, and membranes that protect organs. Normal range of essential fat is between ten to thirteen percent for woman and two to five percent for men. Below this level can lead to health problems. This fat is quite different than other fats because unlike "storage fat" (subcutaneous/visceral), which used for energy, essential fat is necessary fo...

Acidosis is a condition where there is too much acid in the body fluids. It is a sign that your body's delicate pH balance has tilted too much toward the acidic side. In the human blood pH level of 7.35 to 7.45 is necessary to stay clean and efficient. If it drops below 7.35, it is a state of acidosis.   Body usually manages acid out from the body through two main “exhaust pipes” Lungs and Kidneys. If any of these two organs fails, the acidosis condition created in the body. There are two main types of acidosis: Respiratory acidosis . It occurs when lungs cannot remove enough carbon dioxide. This excess builds up of carbon dioxide in the blood turns blood acidic which called acidosis. This often happens with asthma, COPD, or severe pneumonia. Metabolic Acidosis . Occurs when your kidneys are not removing enough acid, or your body is producing too much of it (like lactic acid from intense exercise/shocks or ketones from uncontrolled diabetes). If left untreated, acidosis is ...

     Bloating is a quite frequent problem. It is due to buildup of gas or fluid in your digestive system. It can range from a minor annoyance after a big meal to a persistent symptom of an underlying condition. Here are the primary causes categorized by lifestyle, diet, and medical conditions:   1.      Common Dietary Causes. What you eat, how much more than hunger you eat, how you eat and our body’s response to food consumed (how body process it). Any of the mentioned factors can be relevant to the cause of bloating:   (a)   Healthy foods like beans, lentils, broccoli, cabbage, and onions       contain complex sugars (FODMAPs) that ferment in the gut,        producing gas. Sometimes this fermentation and digestive distress       cause bloating, gas, pain, diarrhoea) in sensitive individuals.   (b)   Sugary drinks like soda, packed juices o...
