Open the mechanism of action of ginkgo on the brain

Has a healing effect on the brain. This plant was used in ancient China, it is used today. But it confirmed the healing properties of little research. Pursuing the study of strokes, a scientist and his colleagues found a mechanism that would deal with the consequences of stroke. They found that mice that lack the enzyme heme observed-oxygenase, poorly restored after a stroke.

This enzyme converts heme (iron-containing compound, a part of many proteins), creating dangerous oxygen radicals, the heme-oxygenase, which - on the contrary, neutralize oxygen radicals. Based on existing studies, Dr. Dore and co-workers made the assumption that increase production of heme-oxygenase and ginkgo may protect brain cells thereby.

To test this idea, they first performed experiments with neurons of the brain, taken from mouse embryos. It was found that cells found in the extract of Ginkgo biloba, less exposed to oxygen radicals than those that were in the normal environment. It is important that very high doses of Ginkgo biloba extract cells provide virtually complete protection.

In the next stage researchers took three groups of living mice. In the first group - mutant mice in which the nature of the heme-oxygenase elaborated a little. The second and third groups - normal mice. First and second group of experiments gave for ginkgo, and the third was a control. After that, all the mice artificially cause a stroke and compared the results.

It was found that mice from the first group to feel worse than rodents in the second. This confirmed the role of heme-oxygenase in the development of stroke. In addition, mice that were not given ginkgo, recovered equally worse than mice in the second group. Thus, the experiment has certified the useful effect of the investigated plants.

These experiments have confirmed the usefulness of rigorous scientific and ginkgo has shown that this herb is a potent neuroprotective.

These 8 foods you guarantee an increase of energy you need to spend the day without strokes:

1) Soy

Soy is rich in phytoestrogens energizing (plant estrogens). Soy tastes better when combined with oatmeal for breakfast with fruit or a milkshake.

The Okinawa diet is among those who recommend more regular consumption of soy. Thus, soybeans contain more protein (by volume) than beef.

Although some studies suggest that soy might be linked to fertility problems in men, soy can alleviate hot flashes and help women to live well with menopause.

2) turkey on whole wheat

The combination of lean meat and whole grain bread provides protein and endurance, to finish with tiredness.

3) Peanut Butter

A tablespoon of peanut butter on whole wheat crackers gives you more protein and fat to reduce appetite and tiredness with.

4) Bean Soup

The bean soup is a good source of fiber, folate and iron. Light will make you quickly forget the strokes.

5) whole-grain cereals fortified

Treat yourself to these cereal with skim milk and a banana. This is a breakfast full of B vitamins (in grains), calcium and protein (in milk) and potassium (the banana), to give you lots of energy to start the day.

6) Walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, peanuts

As long as you eat them in moderation (they are high in calories), these nuts are an excellent source of oilseed proteins.

Not only do they regulate the strokes, but the dried fruit oil seeds can also improve performance of runners (Board # 3).

7) Hummus

Chickpeas are the main ingredient in hummus, and are a good source of fiber and iron. You can easily find hummus in Lebanese restaurants.

8) A mixture of dried fruits and nuts

These mixtures are a good source of all minerals, but do not overeat because they are also high in calories. With these mixtures, say goodbye to strokes.
