Mango Health Benefits

First lets Start with the Mango Concerns Latex allergy People who suffer from latex allergy have the highest susceptibility of a cross-reaction to mangoes. Also, a high intake of potassium can be pretty harmful to those that do not possess fully functional kidneys. In the case that kidneys are unable to oversee the removal of excess potassium from the body, it can be fatal. The overall eating pattern is vital in warding off diseases as well as upholding impeccable health. Try to alternate your diet rather than just concentrating on the consumption of individual foods as key to impeccable health. Urishiol The mangoes’ sap and peels contain a chemical, urushiol, also present in poison sumac and poison ivy. Urushiol may cause an allergic reaction in individuals with the highest susceptibility. Hastening of mangoes’ ripening process Some of the mango growers, or dealers, hasten the ripening of mangoes through the use of calcium carbide, and this can cause serious health c...

Cucumber Health Benefits

According to World’s Healthiest Foods, lignans work with bacteria in the digestive tract to work against cancer. The bacteria are responsible for the conversion of the lignans into...

Methionine - short period restricted diet to Cure Cancer

Methionine is an essential amino acid and important in  angiogenesis , the growth of new blood vessels Overconsumption of methionine , [4]  the methyl group donor in DNA methylation, is related to cancer growth in a number of studies. [5] [6] [7] Methionine was first isolated in 1921 by John Howard Mueller. [8] High methionine foods include nuts, beef, lamb, cheese, turkey, pork, fish, shellfish, soy, eggs, dairy, and beans.  Methionine restricted diet and high dose selenium: Methionine restriction sensitizes cancer cells to sodium selenite by lowering glutathione which increases oxidative stress. Cancer cells are highly dependent on several different amino acids for growth and cell division. Cancer cells are universally dependent on methionine It is both practical and effective to limit the dietary intake of methionine as a means to starve cancer cells of this essential nutrient. Normal cells are unharmed by short term limitation of methionine ...
