How can a Gut and Metabolic Formula be enhanced to help Special Needs Children?

gut and metabolism health of special needs childrenMetabolism is about how a child’s body creates energy, fights disease, and keeps them alive and thriving. It’s the system behind the scenes that controls almost everything – energy levels, hormones, heart health, and even the brain.

With Special Needs children it is harder for their bodies to absorb nutrition due to a compromised gut. The gut wall is thus less permeable, and the blood-brain barrier is less permeable, and the nutrition molecules have difficulty passing through.

ERDS™ (Enhanced Rapid Delivery System) works to enhance the nutritional formulas because it improves solubility and absorption. ERDS is a special formulation of vitamins that increases the body’s ability to absorb more of the nutrition available.

ERDS is a proven to be a safe and effective method of improving this absorption and bioavailability of poorly soluble materials. The molecules of most nutrients are too large to be well absorbed by the cells.

The extract in ERDS can make the molecules in the nutritional ingredients smaller and of a shape that is more permeable and able to pass through:

•Intestinal lining

•Blood brain barrier

•Cellular lining.

This means that when ERDS is added to any source of nutrition it increases the amount of nutritional uptake (you get more of the available nutrition into your cells) and also the speed in which the nutrition is absorbed by the body is increased.

TEKNON includes ERDS™ (Enhanced Rapid Delivery System).

It will essentially increase the activity and get more of the Teknon into the gut. It will be able to permeate a variety of cell membranes including the gut, eyes, mouth and skin.

In the gut, malabsorption can also be caused by the rejection of certain compounds by the cells. Teknon enhanced by ERDS inhibit this rejection, and thus improving absorption through the gut wall.

Teknon is based on scientific studies to allow the body to have natural ingredients that have been found to support an optimum metabolism.

Teknon is a natural nutritional supplement to improve metabolism and gut health. ERDS is made up of special extracts of Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Vitamin A and Vitamin D3. Teknon also includes B1, B2, B6, calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium

ERDS is part of the Teknon formula and so it increases the nutrition available from the ingredients in the Teknon formula.

Restoring Mitochondria Function for Metabolic Health

mitochondria energy Metabolism is the process of cells creating energy from food. Well-functioning cells create a healthy body. The Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. It is where this energy is created. It is used to drive almost every chemical reaction within our bodies.

Mitochondrial damage disrupts this normal metabolism.

When the body’s metabolism is disrupted, there is less cellular energy produced by the mitochondria and organ dysfunction can result. Just like a car can’t run without gas, your body can’t function without cellular energy.

The Role of Nutrition in Addressing Health Risks

role in nutritionProcessed foods and added sugars have become staples in the average American diet.   It’s often called S.A.D.  The Standard American Diet.  What is the role of nutrition when it comes to building health or creating disease?

Despite their convenience and taste, these dietary choices contribute to a rising amount of chronic health conditions including obesity. The connection between these foods and the increase in health conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol and cardiovascular issues suggests a need for nutritional education to allow people to control their health.

Understanding the Impact of Processed Foods and Sugars

By definition, processed foods have been altered from their natural state, often through the addition of preservatives, flavor enhancers, and other additives. These foods typically contain high levels of unhealthy fats, sodium, and added sugars—substances that, when consumed in excess, can significantly impair health.

Added sugars, found in everything from soft drinks to sauces, are particularly insidious. While they provide a quick source of energy, they also lead to rapid spikes in blood glucose levels, followed by equally rapid declines. This can result in a persistent cycle of energy crashes and cravings, predisposing individuals to overconsumption. Over time, this can contribute to insulin resistance, a precursor to type 2 diabetes.

The excessive intake of sodium and unhealthy fats in processed foods, further increases health risks. High sodium levels contribute to hypertension, increasing the risk of stroke and heart disease. Meanwhile, unhealthy fats, particularly trans fats, seed oils and certain saturated fats can lead to the accumulation of arterial plaque, elevating the risk of cardiovascular events.

The Increasing Diet-Related Health Conditions

The United States is witnessing a rise in diet-related health issues. Obesity, which is strongly linked to the consumption of high-calorie, low-nutrient foods, has reached epidemic proportions. 42% of American adults are now classified as obese, 9% as severely obese, and 20% of adolescents are classified as obese. This condition significantly increases the risk of health problems such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and certain cancers.  Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S., with diet being a major contributing factor.

At one time, type 2 diabetes, was primarily diagnosed in older adults. It is now increasingly common among younger people.  This is a trend directly connected to poor dietary habits.  These statistics are more than just numbers; they reflect a growing public health crisis that demands a proactive approach to your health.

These health problems all point to one thing, a diet that creates Metabolic Dysfunction. Metabolic Dysfunction is when metabolism goes awry and there are abnormal chemical reactions that disrupt the body’s metabolism so less cellular energy is produced. Impaired metabolism can result in nutrient deficiencies and toxic overload, and eventually, to organ dysfunction.

What Can You Do?

You can start by getting educated in the science-based facts of how your body works, what it needs to survive, and how you can provide your body with the balanced nutrition it must have so you live a long, healthy life.

Connection Between Nutrition and Cellular Health

cellularhealthCellular Health – People often find it hard to understand health information. We try to fix that by giving you not only simple definitions but understandable concepts so you can learn the information, and you can improve and maintain your health.

What is cellular regeneration and its relationship to nutrition?

The body is comparable to a city that is constantly under renovation.
The cells of the body are comparable to building blocks that need regular replacement.

Your body is constantly rebuilding itself. Every day, millions of your cells are replaced with new ones. This rebuilding process requires specific materials, which you get from your diet.

What are Some of the Things does this Rebuilding Includes?

Proper cellular health creates skin renewal, healing, muscle recovery and physical performance. Supporting cellular health can help maintain vigor and vitality even while aging.

Are Your Cells Healthy?

The indicators of unhealthy cell restoration are:

  • Low energy levels
  • Slow wound healing
  • Poor skin appearance
  • Slow exercise recovery
  • Poor sleep quality.

Unhealthy cell regeneration is like hiring a contractor and asking him to build you a perfect replica of the Taj Mahal. He could do it. He is that good. He knows the tools of his trade. But the only materials you give him are plywood and nails. He would do the best he could, but he wouldn’t build that perfect replica. And it wouldn’t stand up the way the original has.

Well, why would your body behave differently? If you only give it sugar, food additives, and an imbalance of what it needs, it isn’t going to build really good cells that are capable of doing their job.

What Can You Do?

Here are some questions to ask yourself:

  • What does your typical daily meal pattern look like?
  • Which vegetables and fruits do you regularly eat?
  • How much protein do you typically consume?
  • What are your main sources of healthy fats?

You can then start by changing how you eat and what you eat to provide your body with better nutrition every day. For instance:

  • Ensure you eat regularly and don’t skip meals
  • Make sure you eat breakfast to power up your body for the day
  • “Eat the rainbow” so you are eating fruits and vegetables of different colors every day, such as adding spinach to your morning smoothie and berries to your breakfast
  • Consume healthy fat by adding avocado to your sandwich
  • Eat some protein at every meal.
  • Meal planning should revolve around what your body needs.You can evaluate your progress of providing your body with better nutrition and improving your cellular health by monitoring symptom improvement, energy level and sleep quality. Focus on the gradual implementation of changes and celebrate small victories for motivation and compliance.

Want to Know if You are Feeding your Body for Health or Health Problems?

Poor nutrition leads to cellular degeneration which leads to degenerative health conditions. What you eat and drink every day really does make a difference to how you feel, how long you will live, and your quality of life.

The Hidden Dangers of Pharmaceutical Weight Loss

pharmaceutical weight lossRecently, there are quite a few ads praising the weight loss gotten from injecting a drug into your stomach.   It is referred to as Pharmaceutical Weight Loss.

We’re witnessing a dangerous trend.

People are seeking quick metabolic solutions to weight loss through medications while overlooking the healing potential of whole-body nutrition and lifestyle changes that build a healthy metabolism.

These various drugs being promoted for weight loss are semaglutides.

What is semaglutide?

What is it?  GLP-1, or Glucagon-Like Peptide-1, is a hormone produced in the intestines that plays a key role in glucose metabolism and appetite regulation.

Semaglutides mimics the production of GLP-1.  Thus, semaglutides works by increasing insulin release, lowering the amount of glucagon released, delaying gastric emptying, and reducing appetite.

The Semaglutide Illusion: More Harm Than Healing

Semaglutide represents a pharmaceutical band-aid that masks deeper metabolic dysfunction. While it may produce temporary weight loss, it’s essentially a metabolic smoke screen that fails to address the root causes of weight gain and systemic inflammation.

Should You Be Worried About a Fatty Liver

What is a fatty liver?The liver is the major organ for detoxification. It detoxifies, by metabolizing toxins and/or secreting the toxins out of the body.  A damaged fatty liver cannot work to do its job.

A fatty liver happens when too much fat builds up in your liver. Although it is normal to have a tiny amount of fat in these cells, the liver is considered fatty if more than 5% of it is fat.  80-100 million are thought to be affected by a fatty liver in the US.

Remember, your liver is the second largest organ in your body. It helps process nutrients from food and beverages and filters harmful substances from your blood. Too much fat in your liver can cause inflammation and create scarring, and in severe cases, this can lead to liver failure.

There are two types of fatty livers:

When most people think of liver damage they think of alcoholic fatty liver. However, there is also a non-alcoholic fatty liver.  The liver can be damaged over the years in many ways – smoking, sugar-laden sodas, fried foods, processed foods, drugs, alcohol and environmental toxins.

These all tax the liver, but sugary, fried, and processed foods give the body a real problem. The excess sugar and fat cannot be utilized by the body and so is stored as fat in the body, and particularly in the liver.  It is now referred to as metabolic-dysfunction associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) – a more accurate description.

The result is a compromised liver, and the toxins that are normally filtered out can re-circulate through the body re-exposing it to harmful compounds and can trigger a toxic overload.

A Fatty liver is not just a standalone condition. Failure to address a fatty liver can result in severe health issues. Fat can leave the liver and get deposited in other organs. Your organ function could decrease over time due to this build-up, leading to increased inflammation within these areas.

Inflammation triggers an immune response, further exacerbating damage by promoting fibrosis (scarring) – a precursor to more severe conditions like cirrhosis. This liver condition may have significant implications for health. It has even been connected to post pandemic’s continuing symptoms.

This phenomenon underscores how interconnected our bodily systems truly are and why maintaining optimal hepatic health should be everyone’s priority.

You might wonder now: How do I know if I have a metabolic liver dysfunction?

Fatty Liver symptoms

  • Stubborn weight gain
  • Fatigue
  • Skin that itches
  • Feeling confused (toxin buildup)
  • Swelling or pain in the upper belly

You can address a fatty liver by changing your diet. You can also address it with supplements that can help to naturally improve a fatty liver and thus overall health.

What supplement has what you need to address a Fatty Liver?

There are special natural ingredients that help to support liver health. It can be helpful to consume all these ingredients in one supplement.  They all work together.

Due to the quality of food today, most people are deficient in the vitamins and minerals needed by the liver for optimal health.

PureLife Care+ is a natural supplement that works at the cellular level to improve metabolism, reduce insulin resistance, inflammation and to help a fatty liver.

Understanding the True Impact of Metabolism on Health

understanding metabolismDo you understand the true Impact of metabolism on Health. You’ve probably heard a lot about metabolism, but do you have a full understanding of what it means, or why improving your metabolism is so important?

Most people’s understanding of metabolism is related to weight – a slow metabolism may lead to weight gain, or increasing one’s metabolism can lead to weight loss.

That is just a small part of how metabolism affects the body and impacts health. This article aims to give a fuller understanding of metabolism to help you understand how your metabolism could be affecting your health.

First, let’s define the terms so you can understand this health issue.

Metabolism is a generic word for EVERY chemical process in your body from energy production to cellular reproduction and fighting off disease.

Metabolism is the process of cells creating energy from food (from nutrition.) Well-functioning cells create a well-functioning and healthy body.

Thus, improving metabolism at the cellular level is the health goal.

What are mitochondria?

Mitochondria (singular: mitochondrion) are organelles (structures that perform special functions within the cell) that produce the energy used by the cell. For this reason, the mitochondrion is sometimes referred to as “the powerhouse of the cell”. They are the batteries of the cells and are a very important part of good health.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction means the body has fewer mitochondria, and the ones it does have are smaller and inefficient (not working as well as they should.) Damage to the mitochondria causes cells to die because they can no longer produce enough energy.

Because mitochondrial damage disrupts normal metabolism, it results in metabolic dysfunction.

Metabolic Dysfunction occurs when metabolism goes awry, and abnormal chemical reactions happen and disrupt the body’s metabolism. This means less cellular energy is produced and organ dysfunction can result. Impaired metabolism can result in nutrient deficiencies and toxic overload.

By the time you experience non-optimum health issues, it’s safe to say you’ve probably had metabolic dysfunction for quite a while.

If you have high blood pressure, high blood glucose, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, and excess weight around the waist you have metabolic dysfunction that is negatively affecting the way your body functions.

This also means you have an increased risk of a more serious health condition. It is very important that the underlying cause of non-optimum health conditions – metabolic dysfunction – is addressed.

The syndrome caused by metabolic dysfunction is Metabolic Syndrome.

What Does Improving your Metabolism Mean? 

Improving your metabolism means improving the health of your cells.

Healthier cells can result in a range of health improvements, such as better digestion and normal bowel movements.

Healthier cells can lead to a stronger immune health, lower levels of inflammation and less stress.

In fact, the potential health improvements of having healthier cells are many.

How Can I Improve my Cellular Health and Metabolism?

The most powerful way to improve your cellular health and metabolism is through nutrition. Giving your body the nutrition it needs to thrive is the answer.

Could your health problems be a non-alcoholic Fatty Liver?

fatty liver Not all fatty livers are caused by alcohol.  There are so many other reasons that you might have a fatty liver.  Toxins of all kinds create a problem.

The liver is the major organ for detoxification. It detoxifies, by metabolizing and/or secreting the toxins out of the body.  A damaged fatty liver does not work to do its job.

Think of all the problems that can be created when your body can’t metabolize food, supplements, etc.  nor able to detoxify viruses, fungus or bacteria.

Learn about a Fatty Liver and decide what to do next.

Elderberry Benefits for Your Health

health benefits of elderberryI heard a commerical for a drug that was designed to stop a virus from replicating.   Really, I thought, why not just use elderberry.   I knew that was what elderberry did.

Next time I went to the Market at the Oyler’s Organic Farms, I remembered that they had elderberry syrup for sale.  I bought some.   Then some how after taking it I realized my tree pollen allergy got so much better that I hardly remembered I had that allergy.  Hmm.

So I did some checking on all the things that elderberry has in it vitamin wise and all the benefits it has for your health.
