Većina ljudi misli da je koenzim Q10 supstanca koju proizvođači pomada trpaju u „ženske mazalice" da bi nam prodali još jedan proizvod od koga će baba ponovo postati pionirka za 9 ½ nedelja. Drugi znaju da je Q10 supstanca slična po sastavu vitaminu E ali je mnogo moćniji antioksidans, pa može efikasnije da nas štiti od negativnih uticaja iz okruženja. Zapravo, da bi stvarno imali značajne rezultate antioksidanse treba da jedemo a ne da ih mažemo po licu - ali smo ovo već savladali 🙂

Treći, koji su imali problema sa srcem, znaju istinu: bez Q10 nema života.

Q10 se prirodno proizvodi u našim organizmima. Ili se to u dovoljnoj meri dešava do momenta kada pređemo dvadesetu i krenemo da galopiramo ka tridesetim godinama života. Tu završavamo priču o „prirodnom" Q10. Njegove količine se smanjuju i smanju s godinama - da bi negde oko šezdesete dogurali do jadnih 40% proizvodnje iz svoje dvadesete godine.

Možda ćemo i tada Svom Čoveku biti lepe i sa paletom dubljih i plićih borica. Ali su šanse da mu i budemo i lepe i žive i zdrave mnogo veće ako vodimo računa o ovoj „vitamin-like" supstanci.

Najviše ga ima u srcu, jetri, pankreasu - upravo u onim organima koji imaju najviše posla i koje u toku života maksimalno mučimo i forsiramo. Mada - Q10 je nastanjen u svakoj ćeliji jer učestvuje u pretvaranju hrane u energiju na koju se naš organizam „vozi" kroz život. Zato uvek važi sledeće:

manje Q10 - manje energije

nema Q10 - nema energije

Potrebne dnevne doze Q10 su u mladosti male - ali s godinama dolazi do njegovog deficita pa je potrebno unositi od 30mg pa sve do 300mg kod onih ljudi koji imaju dokazan deficit ili neko jako nepoželjno zdravstveno stanje.

Ja bih jako volela da ga unosim kroz hranu što je više moguće. Ali da vidimo koliko je to stvarno i izvodljivo!

Pokušavam nakon ove tabele da zamislim sebe kako svakodnevno proždirem 300g svinjskog srca i zalivam ga sa 100ml maslinovog ulja i nešto mi ne ide.

300g svinjskog srca je tu umesto „samo" 250g jer se u toku kuvanja oko 20% koenzima Q10 jednostavno uništi i nestane.

Pokušavam da odradim isto to sa 300g goveđeg srca za ručak i još 300g skuše za večeru, ali mi ni ta mentalna vežba ne pomaže da se osetim „podmlađeno" i puna energije. Jesam na LCHF ishrani (Low Carb High Fat) ali je ovo Preterano High-Fat i Preterano High-Protein čak i za mene!

Da imam 23 godine i da je proizvodnja Q10 u mom organizmu maksimalna, verovatno se ne bih mnogo brinula oko ove teme. Ali, posto imam 35 i nikako nemam u planu da na licu šetam više bora nego što već moram i stvarno odbijam da jedem goveđa i svinjska srca svaki dan u nenormalnim količinama - mogu da vidim rešenje delimično u kuhinji a delimično i u saplementaciji.

Za 10-ak godina, kada bore više ne budu bile „No.1 potencijalni problem", razmišljaću i o sledećem:

1. Ako su granicu za holesterol već pomerili sa 7 i 8 na samo 5 (u zadnjih 10 i 20 godina), pa sada skoro svi moraju da gutaju statine uz izgovor da je to dobro za srce - kako se objašnjava to da statini nivo Q10 smanju za 50%? Kako je to dobro za srce kada bez Q10 srce ne može da radi?! Srce je organ koji koristi najviše koenzima Q10!

2. Ako je u 80-tim godinama nivo Q10 u organizmu manji nego pri rođenju, a najviši sa 23 godine - da li su istraživači koji još eksperimentišu sa Q10 da bi produžili život na dobrom putu? Istraživanja su do sada uspela na bakterijama i radi se trenutno sa pacovima - imam vremena! Samo neka nastave s poslom! Navijam za njih! 🙂

3. Zašto skoro svuda u svetu za bolesti srca, visokog pritiska, prevenciju migrena, neplodnost kod muškaraca, Parkinskonovu bolest - pa čak i pomoć pri skidanju suvišnih kilograma - lekari prepisuju doze Q10 od 100 do 300mg? A kod nas se i dalje većina pita „Šta ovo traži u pomadi za lice?"

Očigledno je kucnuo čas da se malo više pozabavimo ulogom Q10 u našem organizmu i posvetimo mu pažnju koju stvarno i zaslužuje. Nadam se da vas je ovaj tekst motivisao da saznate više o njemu! Za početak dovoljno je da zapamtite da:

bez koenzima Q10 naše ćelije ne mogu da proizvode energiju...

bez Q10 srce ne može da radi pravilno...

bez Q10 koža ne dobija hranu, teško se obnavlja, gubi fleksibilnost i elastičnost...

nema ni jednog jedinog razloga da budemo bez Q10!

.SAVET PLUS: Koenzim Q10 ima najbolje dejstvo uz selen. Najbogatiji poznati izvor selena je brazilski orah, gde samo 1 ili 2 oraha na dan potpuno zadovolje potrebe i za ovim moćnim antioksidansom. Q10 i selen zovu „savršenim partnerima za zdravo srce".

Doziranje mora biti takvo da ukupan sadržaj nezasićenih pirolizidinskih alkaloida ne prelazi 1 µg dnevno. Ukupno korištenje repuha ne smije biti duže od 4-6 tjedana godišnje.  Tradicionalno se koriste doze 4.5-7 g dnevno suhog korijena u obliku etanolnog ili uljnog ekstrakta. U kliničkim istraživanjima doze se razlikuju ovisno o tretiranom stanju i dijelu biljke.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Vrsta: Petasites hybridus, Asteraceae

Hrv. naziv: lopuh, repuh

DIO BILJKE KOJI SE KORISTI: Nadzemni dijelovi, list, rizoma, korijen

SASTAV: Poznata su dva kemotipa: kemotip furanopetazin (sadrži isključivo furanoermofilanske seskviterpene) i kemotip petazin (sadrži estere ermofilanskih seskviterpena: petazin, izopetazin i neopetazin). List sadrži: alkaloide pirolizidinskog tipa (senecionin i integerimin), flavonoide (astragalin, izokvercitin, kvercitin), seskviterpene, tanine, sluzi, eterična ulja, terpenoidne saponine. Korijen i podanak sadrže: pirolizidinskog tipa (senecionin, integerimin, senkirkin), seskviterpene i eterična ulja. Skladištenje mijenja sastav biljke.

UPOTREBA: U fitoterapiji je korišten kod alergija, temperatura, teškog disanja, prehlada, kao diuretik, protiv crva, kod kronične boli, akutne spastične boli mokraćnih puteva, kod mokraćnih kamenaca, sezonskog alergijskog rinitisa, profilakse migrene i kožnih problema.

DOZIRANJE: Doziranje mora biti takvo da ukupan sadržaj nezasićenih pirolizidinskih alkaloida ne prelazi 1 µg dnevno. Ukupno korištenje repuha ne smije biti duže od 4-6 tjedana godišnje. Tradicionalno se koriste doze 4.5-7 g dnevno suhog korijena u obliku etanolnog ili uljnog ekstrakta. U kliničkim istraživanjima doze se razlikuju ovisno o tretiranom stanju i dijelu biljke.

FARMAKOLOŠKO DJELOVANJE: In vitro i istraživanja na životinjama pokazala su antialergijsko i protuupalno djelovanje (inhibicija sinteze leukotriena), gastroprotektivno djelovanje protiv alkohola i indometacina, spriječeno vezanje radioaktivnih liganada na dopaminske (D2) i histaminske (H1) receptore, hipotenzivnu aktivnost. Klinička istraživanja pokazala su da repuh ima pozitivne učinke kod sezonskog alergijskog rinitisa, astme, bronhitisa i u profilaksi migrene.

NUSPOJAVE: U kliničkim istraživanjima, prijavljene nuspojave su umor, povišena aktivnost jetrenih enzima,svrbež. Za S-petazin se pokazalo da smanjuje bazalnu i adenokortikotropinom stimuliranu koncentraciju kortikosterona u plazmi te bazalnu i induciranu koncentraciju testosterona u plazmi. Pošto biljka sadrži pirolizidinske alkaloide koji su dokazano hepatotoksični, mutageni i kancerogeni, postoji opasnost kod korištenja iako su proizvođači dužni eliminirati alkaloide ispod razine detekcije iz biljke. Postoji i rizik od alergije na seskviterpene kod ljude osjetljivih na druge vrste iz porodice Asteraceae.

KONTRAINDIKACIJE: Postoji mogućnost interakcije s hipertenzivima i antihipertenzivima te s lijekovima koji utječu na dopaminske (D2) i histaminske (H1) receptore. Zbog potencijalne toksičnosti loše prerađenog repuha, on je kontraindiciran u trudnoći i laktaciji.

As many of you already know, I get menstrual migraines. Some occur in the few days right before my period starts. Some strike soon after it begins.

If you get menstrual migraines, too, then there's something you should know: A new study in the journal Headache pinpoints another common time in your menstrual cycle when migraines can hit- the end of your period as bleeding is ending or shortly after it ends.

Dubbing it the "end-menstrual migraine" (EMM) because it occurs at the end of your period, the researchers examined the headache patterns of 85 menstrual migraine sufferers and found that 35.3% regularly experienced EMMs.

Here's where things get really interesting though: Of those women who get EMMs, an overwhelming 93.3% of them also had low ferretin, an indicator of insufficient iron stored in the body. A dip in iron is a common problem at this point in your cycle because iron is shed as you bleed during menstruation.

What the researchers took from this was that these EMMs aren't due to low estrogen like migraines that hit shortly before or shortly after menstruation begins. They argue that by the time your period ends, estrogen will have already risen to a level that shouldn't cause these head-pounders. Instead, these EMMs must be due to low iron, which is known to also be a migraine trigger.

And, since low iron is the cause, it can also be the remedy.

If you tend to get migraines at the end of your period or shortly after, talk with your healthcare provider about it and find out if you can supplement with iron to help prevent them.

Looking for other natural migraine remedies? The ones I currently use-magnesium, coenzyme-Q10 and B vitamins-have significantly reduced the frequency and intensity of my migraines. But, you may find another natural treatment or combination of treatments that works for you. I've written about over a dozen here.

Get migraines tied to your hormones, for instance, right before or during your period, around ovulation or when your premenstrual week begins? Or do these head-throbbers hit when you eat certain foods, are under stress, the weather isn't perfect or just for no reason at all?

Then, like about 80% of migraine sufferers, you probably become sensitive to light during a migraine attack-and bright light can actually make your pain worse.

Well, according to a recent study in the journal Brain led by Harvard researchers, a light bulb that emits a dim narrow band of green light (520 to 540 nanometers) is the one color of light that migraineurs can not only tolerate during a migraine attack- exposure to this color of light may actually help reduce migraine pain by about 20%. ( full study)

The researchers explain that certain light-sensitive cells in the eye trigger activity in the brain that can either exacerbate or ease a migraine based on the color of light-and a dim pure green color happens to reduce this problematic activity, curbing a migraine's intensity.

Before you run out to the store looking for a green light bulb, however, you should know that not just any bulb that's colored green will work-and the study authors have yet to recommend or produce a light bulb that mimics the one they used in their research.

That said, there is one green LED light bulb that appears to be close to the one the researchers used-offering a green light that is between 520 and 560 nanometers: Illuminati SG Night Light Super Green LED Bulb, 5 Watt available at Amazon.

As a migraine sufferer myself, I've already ordered one and can't wait for it to arrive. I'll post an update about how it worked for me.

Till then, if you haven't done so yet, check out my other Hormonology blog posts about migraine remedies here. I use a combination of supplements (such as CoQ10, magnesium and B vitamins) along with icing the front of my neck to rein in my migraine pain, which has successfully cut my migraine frequency and intensity by at least 50%. I recommend you experiment to find the migraine remedy or mix of remedies that work best for you.

Migraines: The menstrual cycle days they're more likely to pop up-and proven ways to prevent them

Gabrielle Lichterman, founder of Hormonology® and a longtime women's health journalist, pioneered the growing movement among women to live in sync with their menstrual cycles and know more about all the ways their hormones impact their moods, health and behavior. This movement was launched in 2005 with Gabrielle's groundbreaking book, 28 Days: What Your Cycle Reveals about Your Love Life, Moods and Potential, and her creation of Hormonology®. She offers a variety of tools--including her popular free Hormone Horoscope® app, eBooks, infographics, videos and tips--to share vital information about hormones.

Just be sure not to go overboard. Too much iron has been linked to a higher risk of type 2 diabetes. And, some people are born with an inability to shed excess iron (hemochromatosis), which can cause health complications.

Wish there was an easy way to get better grades at school? Come up with more brilliant ideas at work? Or learn new information faster?

There is-it's this combo:

1. Get moving more, for instance, take brisk walks, hop on a bike or dance.

2. Eat more foods that contain iron, such as beans, lentils, spinach, tofu, fortified cereal and beef.

Exericse + iron = better brain

A new study in the Journal of Nutrition found that college-aged women who were regularly active and got the recommended 18 mg. of iron daily earned higher grades than female students who were sedentary and low in iron.

Why?

Exercise supports brain health by improving circulation, which sends nourishing blood to brain cells.

And, iron enriches blood with energizing oxygen-so when you get enough of this essential mineral, it wakes up the brain, boosting energy and focus. Get too little and you can suffer fatigue and mental fogginess.

In fact, this 2007 study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that women who were low in iron experienced a dramatic five to seven-fold improvement in memory, accuracy, mental speed and other brain functions after replenishing their irons stores with supplements.

The menstruation-iron connection

The results of this study are important for women with menstrual cycles since blood loss during menstruation typically reduces iron levels.

This is especially true with women who have heavy bleeding, since they're more prone to anemia (iron deficiency) due to greater blood loss.

The right amount of iron

If you're not able to get 18 mg. of iron daily from your diet, ask your doctor if you can take an iron supplement. Research shows it's a safe and effective way to reverse iron loss due to menstruation.

Just be sure not to go overboard. Too much iron has been linked to a higher risk of type 2 diabetes. And, some people are born with an inability to shed excess iron ( hemochromatosis), which can cause health complications.

Bonus to iron balancing

Once you get the right balance of iron in your body, not only will you find it easier to think, you'll also find exercise feels easier to do-which will, in turn, help sharpen your brain skills even more.

It's no secret that getting your period can come with some unpleasant physical side effects like headaches - both before and during Shark Week. But for some of us, menstrual headaches can continue even after your menstrual flow winds up. Let's look at the reasons you may be experiencing headaches after your period and what you can do to find relief.

Headache and menstrual period: What's the link?

It's thought that a menstrual headache is related to the shifting balance of reproductive hormones over the course of your menstrual cycle. When levels of estrogen decline, blood vessels in your head react by expanding. If you're sensitive to the change, this can cause debilitating headaches in the low estrogen phases of your cycle: that's usually just before and during your period.

What causes headaches after periods?

One possible culprit of a headache after periods is anemia. In other words, if you had a particularly heavy period, you may be running low on iron and red blood cells. Anemia can leave you feeling washed out and fatigued, and make you more prone to tension headaches as circulation through your neck and shoulders takes a hit.

Tension headaches can be quite debilitating on their own, but full-blown menstrual migraines are another matter. Unlike the pain of a tension headache, migraines are often accompanied by symptoms like nausea, and sensitivity to light and noise. If this sounds like you after a period, it's possible that you may be dealing with an underlying hormone imbalance.

Treatment for headaches after periods

No matter when in your cycle they strike, headaches can be pretty debilitating. However, the right way to deal with them differ depending whether it's a tension headache or a menstrual migraine.

Tension headache after periods

If you're dealing with a tension headache, improving circulation and relaxing the muscles in your neck and shoulders may provide some relief from the referred strain.

Try applying the warmth of a heat pack or a hot shower to upper back, neck and shoulders. Combine this with stretches and exercises to loosen up the muscles in your neck and shoulders for greater relief.

Menstrual migraine after periods

The first step to taking care of a menstrual migraine is to listen to your body and get some bedrest in a quiet, dark room. Although it may be too difficult to sleep it off, keeping your eyes covered or closed may help. As opposed to a tension headache, most women with a menstrual migraine find that a cold compress is more effective in relieving the pain.

In either case of a tension headache or a menstrual migraine, you may find that over-the-counter pain relievers such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) take the edge of your pain. If not, don't hesitate to see a doctor. Severe pain over the course of your menstrual cycle isn't something you need to put up with.

Prevention of headaches after periods

If your menstrual headaches are regularly hanging around after Shark Week has already ended, there are steps you can take to lessen your odds: namely, supporting healthy hormone balance, and preventing iron and magnesium deficiency.

Hormone-healthy lifestyle

The arrival of your period might be the most obvious sign of your menstrual cycle in action, and your hormones are working their magic behind the scenes all throughout the month.

However, if you're not meeting your body's needs for nutrition and rest, or you're shouldering a lot of mental stress, your body may not be able to regulate your hormone balance. Practice good self-care habits by enjoying a varied and nutritious diet, getting enough sleep and finding the time to relieve stress and tension in your daily life.

Adequate intake of iron and magnesium

Although it's not always possible to prevent anemia from menstrual blood loss, you can make an effort to replenish lost iron by following a healthy diet. It's also important to get enough magnesium: this nutrient plays a key role in regulating the way your blood vessel contract and relax.

Rich sources of iron include eggs and beef or chicken liver, as well as dark green vegetables leafy such as spinach and kale. You can meet your magnesium intake needs by from foods such as fish, seaweed, and soy foods like tofu.

Headaches after periods: A sign of pregnancy?

A headache after a period can be a sign of pregnancy. If your period hasn't arrived on schedule and the headache is accompanied with other signs of pregnancy such as nausea and tender breasts, take a pregnancy test a week after your period due date.

Say goodbye to headaches after periods

Menstrual headaches that last after your period ends are a little unusual, but they can happen. If your hormone balance is a little out of whack, or you're running low on nutrients like iron and magnesium, you could be more prone to them.

If yours don't clear up with some lifestyle adjustments, see your doctor. Menstrual cycle symptoms aren't something that should be ruining your whole day, and there are effective treatments available for them.
