In the natural health community, kefir is all the rage. It is particularly good for digestion and gut health because it is high in nutrients and probiotics. It is widely regarded as being healthier than yoghurt. Here are nine health benefits of kefir that have been scientifically proven. 1. Kefir is an excellent source of a variety of nutrients. Kefir is a fermented milk drink produced traditionally from cow's or goat's milk. It's prepared by combining milk and kefir grains. These aren't cereal grains, but grain-like yeast and lactic acid bacteria colonies that look like cauliflower. The microorganisms in the kefir grains proliferate and ferment the carbohydrates in the milk, turning it into kefir, over the course of around 24 hours. The grains are then extracted from the liquid and reused. In other words, kefir is the beverage, whereas kefir grains are the starter culture used to make it. 2 . Kefir Contains More Probiotics Than Yogurt When swallowed, some microbes c...

Gardening without soil is called hydroponics. The term "hydroponics" is derived from the Latin word "hydroponics," which means "working water." Water acts as a source of nutrients, hydration, and oxygen for plant growth in the absence of soil. Plants grow under the strict regimen of hydroponics, from watermelons to jalapeos to orchids. Hydroponics gardens produce gorgeous fruits and flowers in half the time by using less land, 90 percent less water than traditional agriculture, and innovative design. Despite the fact that the technology appears to be cutting-edge, hydroponics can be traced back to Babylon's famous Hanging Gardens, one of the Ancient World's Seven Wonders. The Euphrates River was channelled into channels that ran down the opulent garden walls. Marco Polo witnessed floating gardens in China in the 13th century and wrote about them. Hydroponics, on the other hand, is far from being a mediaeval invention. NASA used a spacecraft in the...

According to Coherent Market Insights " Rising incidence of infertility are expected to drive the growth of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) across the globe". What is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) and how does it work? hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a hormone that is present in the blood and urine of pregnant women. Shortly after the embryo is implanted in the uterus, HCG is detectable in the blood (roughly three weeks into a four-week menstrual cycle). 1 As your hCG levels rise, your body recognizes that you are pregnant, and the womb goes to work constructing a safe environment for your baby to thrive in. Why Does It Matter? When an embryo develops, it produces Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), which aids in the development of other crucial pregnancy hormones such as progesterone and oestrogen. The uterine lining thickens and the blood supply increases, allowing the embryo to be received and fed following implantation. The right balance of these important...

Wilson's illness is a hereditary condition in which the body accumulates copper, primarily in the liver and brain. The copper build-up, if left untreated, can result in significant symptoms. The excess copper is removed and/or a further build-up of copper is prevented by medicine. Wilson's Disease Treatment Wilson's disease requires immediate attention. The sooner therapy begins, the higher the chances of avoiding long-term liver or brain damage. Penicillamine is a copper-dissolving medication (it is called a chelating agent). Penicillamine causes the body's extra copper to be excreted in the urine. After the initial copper build-up has been eliminated, the dose may be lowered to a maintenance dose after about a year. Penicillamine can be replaced by trientine. It, too, is a chelating agent that helps the body eliminate copper. In some cases, zinc may be a viable alternative. Zinc inhibits the absorption of copper from meals in the gut. As a result, it does not remove e...

The formation of malignant (cancer) cells in the bile ducts is an uncommon condition known as bile duct cancer . The liver, gallbladder, and small intestine are connected by a network of tubes known as ducts. This system starts in the liver, where a network of tiny ducts collects bile (a fluid made by the liver to break down fats during digestion).  The right and left hepatic ducts, which lead out of the liver, are formed by the tiny ducts coming together. Outside the liver, the two ducts merge to form the common hepatic duct. The gallbladder is connected to the common hepatic duct through the cystic duct. Bile from the liver is stored in the gallbladder via the hepatic ducts, common hepatic duct, and cystic duct. Bile stored in the gallbladder is released after digestion and flows through the cystic duct to the common bile duct and into the small intestine. Cholangiocarcinoma is another name for bile duct cancer . Bile duct carcinoma can be classified into two types: Cancer of the...
