Re learning Balance towards a Healthy Life

Book Announcement

Bentham Science Publishers

Balance is a traditional concept. When you live in balance, your body heals itself. This used to be common knowledge. We need to relearn balance. Balance is a concept that used to be taught and practiced in the family. A positive, encouraging family can help us reach our best potential. Diet is critical to balance. Many people in the modern world eat diets that emphasize meat and processed foods. Fruit, vegetables and traditional foods are being ignored. The body needs a balanced diet to keep the guts healthy. Insoluble fiber from fruits and vegetables are necessary for gut health and for the health of the immune system.

Toxic lifestyles have become normal in the modern world. Regular daily exercise is considered nonessential. Exercise is critical to health because muscles need exercise in order to make myokines that maintain the health of the heart, brain, kidneys and other organs. Obesity has become normal in the modern world. Visceral adipocytes secrete inflammatory proteins called adipokines that cause heart disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis and promote cancer.

This book Balance in Healthcare presents and analyses evidence of the high enzymatic reactivity of reactive oxygen species, their production sources, chemical formation mechanisms, enzymatic oxidation, reaction centers, mechanisms involved in oxidation-reduction reactions, cell respiration chemistry, enzymatic kinetics, electron transport chain mitochondrial and chloroplast, oxidation-reduction potential, reaction constants, reaction velocity and reaction mechanisms involved, cellular cytotoxicity, antioxidant defense mechanisms in plants and animals, the response of plants to conditions of environmental stress, xenobiotics, heavy metals, paraquat, the thermodynamics inherent to oxygen metabolism. Chapter 5 presents evidence and analyzes the action of flavonoids as promoters of reactive oxygen species. It is written as a paradoxical example of the high reactive affinity of reactive oxygen species for enzymes since during the whole metabolic process that presents flavonoids as trapping agents of reactive oxygen species or oxidants, in the end, and due to this high affinity and reaction rates, they become promoting agents of the same reactive oxygen species.

Dioxide O2 is not stored in the body. However ambient air (or water) if it is the immediate reservoir of dioxide. The ability to extract oxygen from the environment and carry it to each cell in complex multicellular organisms through just-in-time metabolism was one of the main developments of organisms during evolution. In human cells, there is an increase in reactive oxygen species under conditions of low levels of available oxygen-hypoxia.

The unfortunate experience in which we human beings currently live has alerted all of humanity to the need to take care of nature and the need to have an environment that is as unpolluted as possible since there is sufficient scientific evidence to show the decrease in oxygen levels in the terrestrial and aquatic environments and the devastating effects this has on the survival of organisms. Therefore, there is a need to form citizen conscience about the care of nature and the presence of this essential element for life on earth.

Audience:

General readers and caregivers who want to learn about maintaining a healthy balance in their lifestyle.

Due to the importance of oxygen to conserve and maintain the life of organisms on earth, it is imperative to be conscious of the need for knowledge about this element, its physical, chemical and physicochemical properties, metabolism, and everything related to its behavior and its relationship with living organisms in different ecosystems and environments. Similarly, it is vital to know the causes and serious consequences caused by the incorrect management of natural resources on the levels and quality of this element in the biosphere.

About the Author:

Dr. Adams worked as an Associate Professor, taught Pharmacy and Medical Students for 33 years.  His research involved glutathione, oxidative stress, nicotinamide, NAD biochemistry and other subjects.  He was taught by a Chumash Indian Healer for 14 years about traditional healing, cultures and spirituality.  He continues to teach and practice traditional healing and spirituality.  He is especially interested in treating pain and curing chronic pain
