CoQ10 for Cellular Aging and Staying Alive
The secret to anti-aging? Keep your cells alive and you live longer.
It’s that simple. Two ways to help your cells stay alive is with proper
nutrition and protecting them from oxidative (free radical) damage. The
antioxidant supplement coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) does both. Plus CoQ10 is
ubiquitous to every cell in your body for good reason – your cells use
it for energy to function. That’s why it’s the number one nutrient for
your heart, the muscle that runs 24/7. Now studies show CoQ10 benefits
not only a healthier inside but also a healthier outside – by protecting
and anti-aging your skin.How’s YOUR Liver? CDC Says Cancer Rates Increasing
While the thought of cancer is a scary one, ignoring the risk is
hazardous to your health! Best to take the wise advice of applying an
ounce of prevention as liver cancer is preventable says Dr. Xu, one of
the study authors of this latest health concern. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) raised the red flag on liver cancer in their July 2018 published review. Their report shows an alarming increase in liver cancer mortality from 2000 to 2016. Men had a 43% increase, women 40%. For men, their risk still remains higher as statistically their overall numbers are 2 to 2.5 times that of women.
CoQ10 Regulates Serotonin in Fibromyalgia
Over the past several years, TyH has been reporting on Dr. Cordero's studies with CoQ10 and fibromyalgia (FM) which lowers oxidative stress and improves energy. Another interesting study (which also includes Cordero) shows CoQ10 helps regulate serotonin, found low in FM, which may in turn help pain in this amplified pain condition.The small clinical trial reports that disturbances in serotonin function impact the classic FM symptoms as this important chemical modulates pain, fatigue, sleep, cognition and mood. The reason why this disturbance happens or how it plays in the pathology or disease process of FM is not agreed on by researchers. However, restoring normal function could potentially help FM patients. Measured comparison of FM patients to healthy controls showed "marked" lower levels of both CoQ10 and serotonin in blood platelets. Previous research suggests platelets are good models of serotonin levels as found in nerve cells.

Lutein & Zeaxanthin: Visions of Being Brainy
It seems these two colorful carotenoids are more than just eye "candy"! Carotenoids are pigments found in fruits and veggies that give them their bright colors. When your parents said carrots were good for your eyes, they were right! Carrots provide quite a bit of these carotenoids, mainly as lutein and zeaxanthin (zee-uh-zan-thin). Lutein and zeaxanthin are renowned for eye health. So what's all this have to do with the brain?
