[What is Huperzine A]

Huperzia is a type of moss that grows in China. It is related to club mosses (the Lycopodiaceae family) and is known to some botanists as Lycopodium serratum . The whole prepared moss was used traditionally. Modern herbal preparations use only the isolated alkaloid known as huperzine A. Huperzine A is an alkaloid found in huperzia that has been reported to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, an important substance needed by the nervous system to transmit information from cell to cell. Animal research has suggested that huperzine A’s ability to preserve acetylcholine may be greater than that of some prescription drugs. Loss of acetylcholine function is a primary feature of several disorders of brain function, including Alzheimer’s disease . Huperzine A may also have a protective effect on brain tissue, further increasing its theoretical potential for helping reduce symptoms of some brain disorders.

[Function] Used in alternative medicine, huperzine A has been found to act as a cholinesterase inhibitor, a type of medicine used to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine (a chemical essential to learning and memory).

Not only used as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, huperzine A is also said to enhance learning and memory and to protect against age-related cognitive decline.

In addition, huperzine A is sometimes used to boost energy, increase alertness, and aid in the treatment of myasthenia gravis (an autoimmune disorder that affects the muscles).

Blueberries are absolutely one of my favorite foods to eat. I try to eat them every day and just love them in my morning Berry Protein Smoothie!

Native to North America, blueberries are rich in proanthocyanidin, the natural antioxidant that’s proven to fight cancer, lose weight and give you glowing young skin.

Is Kale Good Or Bad For Diabetes

Download Diabetes Management Book: https://bit.ly/2g0NDAH

Hello, I’m Ty Mason from TheDiabetesCouncil.com, researcher, writer and I have type 2 diabetes. Today I’m going to answer the question, is kale good for diabetes. But before we get into that, make sure you download my free diabetes management book which also includes a diabetes grocery shopping guide (foods to eat and avoid) and other tips to better manage your blood sugar to avoid complications.

I am so glad I got this question today. One of my colleagues, Dr Jennifer Blowers wrote a fantastic article on “10 Superfoods for Diabetes” on thediabetescouncil.com. I truly urge you to go read the article, it is very interesting.

I will give her credit for some solid research on that project. I will be using part of her article today in my conclusion. Hopefully we both see eye to eye on kale.

Kale is often referred to as leaf cabbage because its central leaves do not grow together in a head, like the head cabbage. The leaves of kale can be various shades of green and may include bits of purple.

Despite what some may think, kale is not new. Kale was a staple of meals dating back to the ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians several thousand years ago. Kale is close cousins to broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts. Kale maintained a sort of vegetable champion status until the end of the Middle Ages. It temporarily lost its place on the veggie leaderboard when the modern-day cabbage became popular and selectively cultivated because of its favored cabbage “head” of clustered leaves.

Kale was revived during World War II, when it was heavily promoted to home gardeners as part of the UK’s digging for victory campaign. It was easy to grow and super nutritious – a perfect supplement for other foods being rationed during the war.

According to our own Dr Bowers, “referred to as the “darling” amongst green leafy vegetables, kale provides many micronutrients and antioxidants. Rich in fiber, helping with glucose control, as well as essential vitamins such as beta carotene and vitamins A, C and K, kale is a versatile ingredient. Kale also contains the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, which studies have associated with preventing eye disorders and improving brain function. Glucosinolates, found in kale and other cruciferous vegetables, are sulfur-containing antioxidants, associated with reducing cancer. Kale is truly a powerhouse, providing flavor, little effect on blood glucose, and many significant health benefits. Try it in salads, soups, stir-fry dishes and on sandwiches.”

Jennifer answered the question already. Is kale good for diabetes? Yes, is most certainly is.

I hope this answered your question is kale good or bad for diabetes. Don’t forget to get your diabetes management book.

Let me know if you have any other diabetes related questions.
