Highly processed food has been linked to cancer
A Coenzima Q10 é uma benzoquinona (C6H4O2) presente em praticamente todas as células do organismo. No entanto, por sua participação na produção de ATP, ela é mais concentrada em órgãos de grande demanda energética. Entre eles estão o coração, o cérebro, os rins e o fígado.
Também é considerado um potente antioxidante intracelular, protegendo a estrutura das células da destruição da própria parede celular causada pelos radicais livres produzidos diariamente pelo metabolismo energético. Além disso, estimula a biogênese mitocondrial – ou seja, a produção de novas mitocôndrias dentro das células.
Ela é encontrada no organismo em duas formas diferentes: ubiquinona e ubiquinol. De uma forma simples: a ubiquinona é necessária na produção de energia sob a forma de ATP e o ubiquinol tem uma ação antioxidante.
We all know that food shopping when hungry is a bad idea but new research from the University of Dundee suggests that people might want to avoid making any important decisions about the future on an empty stomach.
The study, carried out by Dr Benjamin Vincent from the University’s Psychology department, found that hunger significantly altered people’s decision-making, making them impatient and more likely to settle for a small reward that arrives sooner than a larger one promised at a later date.
Participants in an experiment designed by Dr Vincent were asked questions relating to food, money and other rewards when satiated and again when they had skipped a meal.
While it was perhaps unsurprising that hungry people were more likely to settle for smaller food incentives that arrived sooner, the researchers found that being hungry actually changes preferences for rewards entirely unrelated to food.
Much research has pointed to how an unhealthy diet correlates to obesity, but has not explored how diet can bring about neurological changes in the brain. A recent Yale study has discovered that high-fat diets contribute to irregularities in the hypothalamus region of the brain, which regulates body weight homeostasis and metabolism.
El cuerpo es un organismo complejo que depende de interacciones e interrelaciones de órganos, enzimas, vitaminas y hormonas. Cada vez que toma un suplemento nutricional, especialmente en dosis altas, afecta el equilibrio de los demás proceso.

Enzymes are most known for their importance in digestion, but they’re actually necessary for all physiological processes.1 Enzymes, which are composed of amino acids, are secreted by your body to catalyze biological functions that otherwise would not occur at physiological temperatures, so they’re absolutely vital for optimal health and life.
Bacteria are at the center of all life forms on planet earth and are the essential building blocks that make living organisms the way they are.
Resumo da matéria
As mitocôndrias são estruturas pequenas e especializadas, que geram energia dentro das células. Elas atuam transferindo elétrons de gorduras e açúcares para o oxigênio no processo de geração de ATP (adenosina trifosfato), que é a “moeda” energética das suas células.

Cherries are a favorite summer fruit in the US, where about 370 million pounds are grown each year.1With a short peak season (May to July), high susceptibility to disease and short shelf life after harvest, cherry season comes and goes in the blink of an eye.
