Effects Caused By MSG On The Body

By Christian Goodman

In a recent television show which I was watching a man went to a Chinese restaurant and asked the waiter "Does your food contain MSG?" In turn the waiter asked "Do you want MSG?" The man said no and the waiter responded we never had MSG and will never have too.

It was the most recent thing at that time. I was recalling the first time I heard of MSG. Nowadays, it seems every people is trying to avoid it.

But I was wondering how many really know the side effects caused by MSG. And how many of them are really trying to avoid it for health. I also avoid MSG.

A flavor enhancer created chemically is called MSG. The Japanese discovered it in 1900's and it's in use from that time.

The best thing is one should always try to avoid MSG. It is mostly used in ready to eat food, canned meat, processed food and soups.

The words may be "natural flavorings" or "hydrolyzed sodium." In some labels MSG is substituted with some other words.

But what is the problem with MSG? If it enhances the favor and the taste of my food with no side effects.

The problem is MSG do has side effects and some of them are major. It is an excitoxin. The chemical is MSG will actually excite the brain neuron's and sometimes cause them to even die.

Side effects can include rashes, headaches and symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, wheezing and nasal discharge.

As this chemical additive affects the brain, it can for many, exacerbate an already existing neurological disorder such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's.

Dangerous and some times life threatening side effects are related to MSG. Some of them are asthma, brain cell death and tumors.

Yes, taste is great but so is our health. In the end, natural is best so in order to ensure optimal brain activity and health, I avoid MSG and would encourage others to do so.

My Dementia program is highly recommended to someone who is suffering from dementia or mild Alzheimer's. It is full of natural exercises with proven results.

First the patient can never get better - the brain is damaged itself and is beyond repair.

Alzheimer's Disease And Ayurvedic Herbs

By Nicole Kerala

Over the years, more and more Ayurvedic Alzheimer's herbs have been used by many people in order to prevent the degenerative Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is a progressive medical condition which affects the brain and is known to manifest in elderly people.

Although the majority of the patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease are people who are over the age of 65, there are many risk factors for developing the disease. Some of these factors include high blood pressure, genetics, coronary artery disease, head trauma, high cholesterol and lack of essential brain exercise.

The warning signs are not always immediately apparent, but can be noted: gradual memory loss is the most common, poor cognitive skills also raise a flag, as well as dementia and personality problems.

Although there is no known cure for Alzheimer's disease and the condition progressively worsens, there are a number of Ayurvedic herbs that can help slow the degeneration caused by the disease.

Alzheimer's disease is a form of brain damage. There are many Ayurvedic Alzheimer's herbs that are known to slowly treat brain damage and improve the overall quality and functionality of the brain cells. Some of these herbs include Guduchi, Pancha-Tikta-Ghruta Gugguli, Amalaki, Musta and many others.

One of the most important things to do if you are at risk of developing Alzheimer's is to practice routine brain exercises. This in conjunction with consistent use of Ayurvedic herbs can have a powerful regenerative and normalizing effect.

These natural remedies and formulas include Mandukparni, Guduchi, Yashtimadhuk, Padma, Vacha, Convolvulus pluricaulis, Nelumbo nucifera, Shankhpushpi and many more. These natural herbs are great for slowing down the worsening progress of the disease, as they decrease the imminent destruction of brain cells. Because of their ability to achieve a certain level of the brain's working potential, these remedies are great in stabilizing brain functions and when used consistently, can even help regenerate the brain cells that have been damaged by the disease.

Plenty of other Ayurvedic herbs also help keep the brain damage caused by Alzheimer's to a minimum. There has not been a lot of modern scientific research about these herbs as of yet, but more and more researchers are taking interest in their potential.

AlzCare is one of the best Ayurvedic herbal blends on the market for Alzheimer's; this blend of five rejuvenating herbs nourishes brain cells by maintaining oxygen and blood supply. Ashwaganda is an especially powerful ingredient that acts as a nervine tonic to rejuvenate cells and boost energy. The other herbs in this blend include Arjun, Amalaki, Galo Satva, and Kutaj.

The treatment and intake of these herbs should be done at the very onset of the diagnosis. Treating the disease in its early stage is crucial to slow its progress. Specific, early and accurate diagnosis is therefore significant when it comes to people with the Alzheimer's disease. This herbal treatment may be the key to leading normal and healthier life. - 31803
