1. Organizing or cleaning your space, room, or home isn’t about tidiness, but being in control of a world that feels otherwise uncontrollable. It’s about a mental state with clarity, being organized and being at peace with oneself. Psychologically, the environment we live in reflects our mental state. In a world full of everyday stress, chaos, and overwhelming uncertainties, cleaning becomes a tool, a therapy to make ourselves feel organised, meaningful and at peace. Clearly, this act can help reduce stress hormones and release endorphins, which can lift the mood.

2. Many people, even after a stressful day, have a habit of cleaning and tidying their stuff after reaching home or their living space. Psychologically, when emotions are overwhelming and stressful, our brain tries to do things which are tangible, grounding, and clarifying, which makes us feel more in control. These actions give the brain a sense of relief and stability, an escape in an otherwise uncontrollable world.

3. In the brain, activities like reorganising the bookshelf, arranging the office table, cleaning and tidying the home, folding clothes in the closets, cleaning the kitchen, washing the dishes, vacuuming the floor stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, the reward system, releasing dopamine, the happy hormone. These small acts instantly feel rewarding, light and happy. A tidy living space, home, or office gives the subconscious mind a feeling of security, stability, and organization.

4. Psychologically, on the flip side, a disorganised, messed-up space gives the mind a sense of cluttered thoughts, incoherence, ambiguity, confusion and anxiety. In an already stressful, loud world, you feel more overwhelmed, stressed, where things and people are unpredictable, uncertain and reactive. So, for a change, cleaning, organising, and rearranging makes people feel instantly happy, stable, predictable and certain.

5. Research shows that a cluttered, anxious, stressful mind raises the cortisol hormone. On the other hand, the environment we live in reflects our mental state. So, a messy, cluttered space clearly affects our mental state. The subconscious mind feels confused, lacks clarity, and is incoherent in a disorganised space. So, rearranging the room, furniture, things, clothes, books gives an instant emotional high, certainty and sense of control. The truth is, cleaning isn’t about habit, it’s about emotional regulation, choosing to change the emotional responses of stress, anxiety, chaos to stability, calmness and clarity.

6. Emotional regulation, by definition, is the ability to regulate our emotional responses from a state of uncontrolled, overwhelming situation by making behavioural changes with a healthy coping mechanism to a state of emotional grounding, stability and a sense of control. Examples of emotional regulation are deep breathing, going for a walk, journaling, light exercise and doing tasks like rearranging the books, furniture, cleaning the kitchen, doing the dishes and so on. It’s the ability to change a negative situation’s impact to a more productive and fulfilling one.

7. The strategies of emotional regulation can be summed up as :

• Recognise: Identifying the emotions like anger, anxiety, ambiguity and incoherence.

• Respond: instead of reacting negatively, changing the situation’s impact to a more productive, controlled and tangible behaviour like going for a short walk, rearranging the books on the shelf, cleaning the mess, folding clothes in the closet, cleaning or mopping the floor or any similar activity.

• Reappraisal, like changing the emotional response to more rewarding outcomes like stability, calmness, sense of control and certainty.

• Reflecting on the change of behaviour and situation gives deep satisfaction and happiness.

8. Activities like cleaning a room, realigning a corner, rearranging books, furniture, cleaning a countertop or mopping the floor are not just tidying or organising acts or behaviour but something more deeper as emotional relief or emotional satisfaction. It’s about reconnecting oneself, bringing a sense of control, stability in a world of external chaos, a stressful day or an overwhelming situation. So, for many people, organising and cleaning their home or their living space becomes a daily emotional ritual and therapeutic.

9. People who keep doing such activities, while they keep performing the acts, they also process their emotions, release the stressful thoughts, anxiety, ease the confusion, bringing more clarity and stability. In fact, by doing such activities, as the visual clutter slowly fades away by physical actions, internally, the mental clutter slowly subsides, emotions and thoughts become more under control, and thinking becomes clearer and regulated.

10. To sum it up, in a world full of uncertainties and unpredictability, organising, rearranging, and cleaning gives an instant outcome which the brain interprets as safety or being under control. When a book or a thing is placed exactly where it belongs, refolding a dress and placing it back in the closet, cleaning the otherwise dirty countertop, it’s like reconnecting with oneself, which gives the subconscious mind that instant boost or reward of comfort, safety and stability in an external world of chaos or an uncontrolled environment.

10 important facts about tocotrienols 🙌

by drjurisharma, posted in antioxidant, Antioxidant,anti inflammatory, immune boosting, anti cancer, body, health, lifestyle, dietary, exercise, herbs, water, liver, stroke, cancer, hepatitis, Brain, nervous system, gastrointestinal disease, autism, cancer, Cholesterol, Food, healing, health, Heart disease, Infection,inflammation, Nature,, Palm oil, cooking oil, heart health, cardiovascular disease, Vitamin E, tocotrienols, tocopherol, nutritional, supplements

Tocotrienol complex

1. Vitamin E is actually a complex of 8 different compounds, which include 4 tocopherols and 4 tocotrienols , each of which can be further divided into alpha, beta, gamma, and delta forms. While tocopherols have been the focus of most research, tocotrienols have not received as much attention. Consequently, many vitamin E supplements available in the market predominantly feature tocopherols, leaving the full potential benefits of tocotrienols yet to be explored.

2.Many Vitamin E supplements on the market primarily contain tocopherol as their main ingredient, which means that their full benefits for the body are not realized. Recent research has shown that tocotrienols are powerful antioxidants with various health benefits. They possess neuroprotective properties, help reduce cholesterol levels, promote skin and hair growth, protect the liver, prevent strokes, and may even help prevent sterility. Additionally, tocotrienols are known to combat inflammation.

3.Actually, tocotrienols help significantly in the body to lower inflammation. Studies have shown that tocotrienols are five times more potent than tocopherols in reducing inflammation. Research has shown that tocotrienols are available in different forms: Delta tocotrienols and gamma tocotrienols, of which delta tocotrienols have five times more potency than tocopherols to fight inflammation in the body. In fact, tocotrienols are far more potent than tocopherols in the prevention of oxidative stress.

4. The widespread benefits of tocotrienols can be summed up as :

• Powerful antioxidant.

• Powerful antimicrobial

• Neuro-protective.

• Anti-cholesterol effect.

• Anti-tumour, anti-cancer,

• Prevents stroke

• Anti-inflammatory, prevents autoimmune diseases.

• Protective to the cardiovascular system, hepato-protective, and promotes hair growth.

• Promotes bone health, especially for menopausal women.

Palm fruits

5. Extensive studies have been carried out on the neuroprotective role of tocotrienols, which have shown very positive results on people with stroke, nerve disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. Studies have revealed that astrocytes play an important role in restoring neuronal cells and protect neurons against oxidative stress. Tocotrienols help in preventing glutamate-induced injury and prevent the death of astrocytes. Therefore, tocotrienols are crucial in minimizing neurodegenerative diseases and stroke.

Annatto

6. There are several studies and clinical trials showing evidence of anti-inflammatory effects of tocotrienols by controlling the inflammatory mediators. Research suggested that tocotrienols block the activation of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kB), one of the main regulators of inflammatory response. Supplementation of tocotrienols is found to reduce tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1 and phorbol ester. It is a potential agent with significant anti-inflammatory effects in atherosclerosis, thyroid diseases, and autoimmune diseases.

7. Research shows that tocotrienols are usually safe for healthy individuals at a minimum dosage. But they do have anti-coagulant properties, so people with blood disorders should avoid taking them. Some contraindications:

• Individuals allergic to any compound of Vitamin E should strictly avoid it.

• As mentioned already, people with bleeding disorders, or anyone who will undergo surgery, should avoid it as it may slow blood clotting.

• Tocotrienols may interact with medicines like anticoagulants and antiplatelets and increase the risk of bleeding.

• Overdosing should be avoided as it may cause physical symptoms like headache, fatigue and GI symptoms.

•High doses of tocopherol can interfere with the efficacy and absorption of tocotrienols.

8.Tocotrienols are generally safe when taken by mouth. There is no standard medical recommendation for dosage. However, under medical supervision, the typical dose of tocotrienols in adults is 100mg – 200mg per day. Dosage can vary depending on the specific health requirement. Supplements are mainly derived from palm and annatto derivatives. They are fat- soluble and best absorbed along with a meal.

Edible oils

9. Food sources: Generally, tocotrienols are rarely found in nature. Even if some food sources are available, they are available in very low quantities. Palm oil has the most concentrated and natural source of tocotrienols, but at a very low level, which is not sufficient for potential health benefits. Other food sources are annatto ,edible oils like rice bran oil, grape seed oil, castor oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, linseed oil, cod liver oil, hazelnuts, oats, olive oil, maize, wheat germ, nuts and barley. Fish like salmon, trout, fruit like avocado, mango, vegetables like red pepper, greens, turnip, and squash are rich in vitamin E and its compounds.

10. Takeaway is that tocotrienols are the least known compound of the Vitamin E family, yet they are the most potent antioxidant and have strong evidence of widespread health benefits. Newest studies show that this compound has senolytic properties, a strong immune response, and apoptosis. They can slow down the process of ageing, reduce oxidative stress, and lower malignant potential. Though in small quantities, regular intake of natural sources of tocotrienols is sufficient for a healthy individual. Supplementation is required when medically prescribed.

10 facts : Is arsenic in rice, a health issue?

by drjurisharma, posted in Brain, nervous system, gastrointestinal disease, autism, cancer, healing, health, health hazard, Heart disease, Inflammation, diseases, environmental damage, health issues, Nature,, Rice, arsenic, rice , rice products, Science, skin, cancer, anti inflammatory, plant, nature, medicine, herb, Vitamin, iron, minerals, wellness

In general, we are exposed to arsenic daily. Not only through food, but also through air pollution, smoking, contaminated drinking water and so on. Rice is the most common dietary source of arsenic, along with fruits, vegetables and grains. Rice and rice-based products are vulnerable to arsenic contamination because of the method of cultivation, especially from the soil and irrigation water in paddy fields. Therefore, white rice, brown rice, rice snacks, rice milk, infant food and rice cereals are all found to have arsenic.

1.Yes, rice eating can give arsenic exposure, depending on the contamination levels, which can be a health concern in the long run. Arsenic contamination levels in rice can vary based on sources, brands, farming methods, and the use of fertilizers and pesticides.Therefore, it is a potential health hazard, especially for rice-eating countries, mainly in Asia. Consistent arsenic exposure can affect different organs, the nervous system, gastrointestinal system and can even cause cancer. Not many studies have been done so far, but research has confirmed that rice contains a relatively high level of inorganic arsenic, which can be toxic and carcinogenic.

2. Rice has been a staple diet for centuries in Asia, unlike in Europe and America. There are different varieties of rice in which the arsenic levels can differ. According to research studies, different varieties of rice can have different levels of inorganic arsenic, such as:

•White long-grain rice (regular type) contains a higher level of mean arsenic concentration (ppb) as compared to medium or short varieties of regular white rice.

• Pigmented rice, like red rice or black rice, may have a slightly lower level of arsenic than regular white rice in many regions.

•Usually, brown rice, which has a bran and germ covered, is found to have higher levels of arsenic than regular white rice.

3.Research has found that brown rice, red and black rice have around 154 ppb of arsenic concentration, though the quantity varies depending on where they have been sourced. The white rice relatively has a lower quantity of 90 ppm of mean arsenic concentration. Arsenic is a heavy metal which is water-soluble, so the sources are many. It can be contaminated through soil originating from volcanic eruption, mining, power production and other geothermal activities, from irrigated water sources, pesticides, fertilisers and environmental pollution.

4.Different varieties of rice with mean arsenic levels, but the quantities may vary from region to region:

• Arsenic levels are higher in rice grown in the United States and some regions of Europe than in Asian countries like India, Pakistan or China.

• Aromatic rice, like Basmati and Jasmine rice, has a level of around 50-80 ppm, less than regular long-grain rice.

• Medium and short grain white rice contain 80-90 ppm as compared to long grain rice.

• Coloured grain rice, like brown and black rice, contains around 90 ppm.

5.Sources: Organic arsenic can be found in some seafood, seaweed is less toxic than inorganic arsenic, which is found in rice, grains and vegetables. Heath risk of having inorganic arsenic- contaminated rice and other food items can cause heart diseases, stroke, diabetes, cancers, skin and nerve diseases. Arsenic-contaminated infant food and cereals are very toxic to infants and growing children as they can interfere with the growth and development of the brain and nervous system, leading to autistic spectrum disorders, kidney diseases, and gastrointestinal system disorders.

6.Arsenic is odourless and tasteless, water-soluble, and easily absorbed in various food items. Besides, rice, vegetables, grains, arsenic can also be contaminated in poultry, such as chicken meat and eggs. When arsenic-contaminated feed is given to poultry, the arsenic is absorbed by the chicken meat and eggs. Additionally, arsenic-containing drugs administered to poultry and farm animals can lead to contamination, posing a hazard to human consumption.

7.Cutting down rice and grains, and vegetables from the diet is not a solution, as these items are very much part of the staple diet because of nutritional value in a major part of the population around the world. So, the different methods by which arsenic contamination can be reduced in the diet are:

•Sourcing the rice from less contaminated regions, also known brands, where the manufacturer mentions on the package.

• Using the type of rice, such as white regular, short and medium-grain white rice. Cooking brown rice with appropriate method.

• Correct method of cooking.

• Alternative use of whole grains like millet, quinoa, oats, and barley.

8.Typical way of cooking rice, where the water dries out, does not change the arsenic level in rice. Instead, an appropriate method of cooking the rice can reduce the arsenic contamination by 50-60 per cent:

• Overnight, soak the rice and drain the excess water.

• Using a larger quantity of water, like a 6:1 to 10:1 ratio, to cook the rice rather than the regular water level.

• Boil the rice and discard the excess water.

• Cook the rice in a pot slowly rather than in a pressure cooker.

9. Unpolished brown rice naturally contains nutrients and vitamins. Many white rice brands fortify the rice with different nutrients and vitamins, too. Rinsing and draining the excess water after boiling causes a lot of water-soluble vitamins and nutrients to be lost. For instance, rinsing white rice thoroughly causes a considerable amount of folate, niacin and vitamins to be removed from the rice. But in the case of unpolished brown rice, the nutrients and vitamins remain inside the bran covering. So, rinsing the brown rice does not affect the nutrients. Hence, brown rice is still healthier than white rice.

10. Therefore, raw, unpolished brown rice can be thoroughly rinsed, cooked in a pot slowly with a large amount of excess water, like pasta in the ratio of 10:1, which can reduce arsenic concentration by 50-40 per cent. At the same time, the quantity of folate, vitamins and minerals in the boiled brown rice remains intact. In this way, the baseline risk of cancer and health hazard reduces by about 60% which is suitable too. So, eating unpolished brown rice, pigmented rice and aromatic white rice can be suitable with the appropriate method of cooking. Also, using alternative grains like quinoa, millet, and barley is considered a healthy option to be included in the diet routine.

10 facts about Fucoxanthin (FX): A promising natural supplement 🙌

by drjurisharma, posted in Antioxidant,anti inflammatory, immune boosting, anti cancer, Flavonoids, antioxidants, anti inflammatory, Fucoxanthin, chlorophyll, algae, seaweed, seafood, healing, health, Infection,inflammation, Inflammation, diseases, environmental damage, health issues, nature, Obesity, weight loss, Supplement, wellness

1. Fucoxanthin (FX), a brown pigment, is derived from various seaweeds and algae. It helps in algae photosynthesis and photo-protection in the aquatic environment. Several studies have shown that this phytochemical can be a potential source of nutritional and health benefits against various diseases like diabetes, obesity, cancer and many infectious diseases. Recent findings have shown that it has various properties like antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, and hepato-protective effects. Therefore, because of its highly potent effects of prevention of obesity related diseases, anti-cardiovascular, tumour inhibition and health benefits to bones, skin, eyes and liver, this pigment has been a promising pharmaceutical asset.

2.Molecular Structure: The unique molecular structure of FX is similar to that of Beta carotene and has the allenic bond. Out of 700 naturally occurring carotenoids, only 43 of them belong to the allelic group, and FX is one of them. Therefore, there is growing interest in the pharmacological activity of this carotenoid, which can be a great potential source towards the prevention of various physical illnesses. FX is mainly found in micro-algae rather than macro-algae. Among the three kinds of micro-algae, that is green, red and brown algae, FX is in higher concentration in brown algae.

3. Multi-functional: Research has already shown that FX has a tremendous amount of health benefits because of its unusual molecular structure. The multi-functional benefits are namely, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-malarial and anti-helminthic. Apart from these activities, FX helps to correct the imbalance of lipid metabolism, which is created by a fatty, unhealthy diet. It has a positive impact on fatty acid oxidation, lipolysis, and bile acid synthesis and lowers the level of free fatty acids.

4. Anti-obesity effects: This brown pigment is a promising asset for lowering weight naturally. Obesity has been one of the main risk factors of many chronic and serious health issues like diabetes, heart diseases, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, fatty liver, high cholesterol, infertility and many cancers. FX lowers the free fatty acids, inhibits lipogenesis, promotes beta-oxidation, bile synthesis, and influences enzymes which are essential for lipid metabolism. As a result, fat accumulation in the liver and adipose tissues is lowered, reducing cholesterol and triglyceride concentration.

5. Liver: Studies have shown that FX has hepato-protective effects. In case of fatty liver diseases, it can help in reducing the accumulation of lipid in liver cells, stimulate Beta-oxidation of hepatic fatty acids and lower the hepatic enzyme activity for fatty acid synthesis. Several animal studies have shown promising results of reducing lipid and triglyceride concentrations in the liver.

6. Inhibitory effect on cancers: Several studies on different cancers have shown that FX can scavenge free radicals and make it a potential modulator of carcinogenesis. FX has shown promising outcomes in different animal studies of inhibiting apoptosis and hindering the tumorigenesis in different types of cancers like lung cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, gastric cancer, lymphoma and leukaemia. They behave as angio-modulators in cancer therapy.

7. Metabolism of FX: Because of its wide range of health benefits and potential role in the prevention of chronic illnesses, it has been a promising compound in pharmacological uses both individually and in synergy with other compounds. FX is a carotenoid which is mainly absorbed in the small intestine, similar to fats and fat-soluble vitamins. Studies have shown that consumption of this brown pigment orally does not show abnormal changes in organ tissues; therefore, it is safe for human use.

8. Food sources of FX are various species of seaweeds like Wakame, Arame, Kombu, Hizika and Laminaria digitata. Some other natural sources are microalgae like diatoms. Marine invertebrates like mussels, oysters, and clams also contain a small amount of FX. Predominantly, FX is present as a rich source in brown seaweed compared to other pigments like chlorophyll and xanthophylls.

9. As a supplement: Animal studies have shown the safe use of FX and that it has no adverse effect on the body. Therefore, it has been widely used as a supplement for its wide range of health benefits. It is used as tablets, capsules and soft gels usually labelled as Fucoxanthin or “brown seaweed pigment” While the bioavailability can be low in case of human consumption, its absorption can be increased when consumed with lipids and edible oils. Dosage can vary from 3-5 mg per day.

10. Side effects: FX has no adverse effects and no toxic accumulation in the vital organs of the body in case of animals when consumed in higher doses. Therefore, it is considered safe for human consumption. It is considered safe for vital organs like the liver, kidney, spleen and gonads when consumed moderately in humans. Further research on humans is still required for more clarification. It is always advisable to consult a Physician before introducing FX as a supplement when there is a pre-existing medical condition.

10 facts: How Radon enter our homes 🏠?

by drjurisharma, posted in Blog, healing, health, life, Lung cancer, nature, Parkinson disease, migraine, fertility, Pollution , radioactive gas, pollutants, Radon gas, environmental pollution, Science, wellness

1. Radon is a naturally radioactive gas released from soil, water, and rocks. It is invisible, tasteless, and odourless. According to WHO, this gas is a potential health risk to the human population.Studies show that this gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer, next to smoking. When radon decays, it produces radioactive dust, which, when inhaled for a long time, can damage lung tissues, causing lung cancer. Therefore, it is considered a human carcinogen.

2. Research shows other potential health risks related to inhalation of radon gas exposure are Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia. Radon gas poisoning is considered hazardous to human health. There is no specific threshold up to which level it can be considered a health risk. Even a small concentration of long-term exposure can cause lung cancer.

3. In Nature, radon is everywhere. But in some areas, radon is present in higher levels like near coal mines, limestone caverns and near surface of bedrock. Soil with high permeability, soil of a slope or hill, soil close to bedrock, mining plant, oil refineries are found to have higher concentration of radon.

4. How does radon exposure affect human life on a day-to-day basis? Buildings which are homes, offices, and educational institutions like schools, colleges, and shopping malls, where we spend most of our hours cause the exposure to this harmful gas. Radon gas is trapped in cracks of walls, floors, in the basement, crawl spaces, in the drainage system like pipes, wires that are not sealed properly. Bulding materials like concrete, granite also emit radon but in low levels.

Cracks on walls

5. Radioactive particles are released when radon gas decays, which are inhaled in the lungs when breathed. The particles get deposited in the lung tissues over a period causing damage to lung tissues. The onset of the disease and the period of exposure can be many years. Many risk factors can influence like:

• Age and duration of exposure.

• Concentration of exposure.

• Climate-like exposure is higher in winter than in summer.

• Water sources.

• Smoking.

6. Children are more vulnerable to radon exposure as they breathe faster than an adult. Young children’s lungs are different in shape and size as compared to adult lungs. These factors make them at greater risk of high level of radon exposure than average adult. But there are not yet, any concrete studies to prove that children have higher risk of lung cancer than adult due to radon exposure.

Reservoir

7. Radon is present in water of the reservoirs, lakes, rivers and underground sources. So, home water supply coming from a treatment facility is much safer than coming directly from underground sources and wells. People working in underground work like coal mines, other metal mining businesses, fertilizer factories, oil refineries are more vulnerable to radon exposure.

Lake

8. Safety measures to reduce radon gas exposures at homes are like :

• Proper ventilation and airflow inside the house by opening windows, using fans and air conditioning.

• Using safe treatment water supply.

• Sealing cracks in floors, walls, and pipes with materials recommended for these purposes.

• Prevent smoking inside the house as well as outside.

• Using radon-resistant techniques while in the construction phase of the building rather than later.

9. Testing: If the radon level is never tested at your house, it is important to contact a Professional use a Test Kit or install a radon reduction system. However, every Country has their safety standards, but usually radon level of 4 pCi/L or above is not safe. Below 2pCi/L is considered safe.A radon reduction system is usually important to install in such homes. While buying a property, renovating, and repairing, the radon levels need to be measured before and after.

10. As already mentioned, radon present everywhere in the environment is not a health risk factor to the human population. Trouble occurs when radon exposure reaches inside homes or the buildings that people live or visit daily like schools and offices. So, it is important to have general awareness, using regular radon testing kits, installing radon reduction system if necessary, safety measures to reduce exposures and safe water supply. Homes and buildings below 2pCi/L is recommended and safe for human dwelling.
