[What is Red Clober]

Red clover is a member of the legume family – the same class of plants where we find chickpeas and soybeans. Red clover extracts are used as dietary supplements for their high content of isoflavone compounds – which possess weak estrogenic activity and have been associated with a variety of health benefits during menopause (reduction of hot flashes, promotion of heart health and maintenance of bone density).

[Function]

1. Red Clover Extract can Improving health, anti-spasm, known for healing properties.

2. Red Clover Extract can Treating the skin diseases (such as eczema, burns, ulcers, psoriasis),

3. Red Clover Extract can Treating respiratory discomfort (such as asthma, bronchitis, intermittent cough)

4. Red Clover Extract can Owning anti-cancer activity and prevention of prostate disease.

DESCRIPTION
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the main causes of death and contribute significantly to high health burden worldwide. It is estimated that 17 million people die every year from CVD, and in Australia it represents 37% of all deaths. Risk factors causing heart diseases are obesity, tobacco smoking, inactivity and unhealthy diets according to WHO (2011). One of the strategies to lower the prevalence of CVD is to promote healthy eating via increasing the daily consumption of cereals, fruits, and vegetables. Population based studies have shown that diet is strongly associated with heart diseases, and these days a very important lifestyle change is the ‘heart-healthy’ diet which includes the consumption of soluble dietary fibres (SDF) from cereals for example. Although SDFs in intervention trials have been shown to decrease blood cholesterol and/or triglycerides, risk biomarkers for CVD, the detailed mechanism(s) are not yet defined, but restricted re-absorption of bile acids (BAs) resulting in an excess excretion in the faeces has been hypothesised.

In the Centre for Nutrition and Food Sciences (CNAFS) we have been studying the mechanisms behind the lipid lowering effects of SDFs such as β-glucan from oat and barley; and arabinoxylan from wheat and rye using in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo approaches. Using pigs as a model for humans, we found out that after an adaptation period on the test diets, (1) oat β-glucan not only physically hinders the active transport of bile acids and uptake of cholesterol, but also changes the BAs profile, thus resulting in reduced blood total and LDL-cholesterol. (2) Wheat arabinoxylan on the other hand, lowers blood triglycerides with delay in digestion and absorption of triglycerides from the small intestine to the blood circulation. In both experiments, lower circulating BAs levels, enhanced production of therapeutic and suppression of toxic BAs were seen without excess excretion of BAs in the faeces.

About Dr Nima Gunness
Dr Nima Gunness is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Centre for Nutrition and Food Sciences (CNAFS), ARC Centre in Excellence in Plant Cell Walls. Nima was awarded a PhD in Nutrition, Biochemistry and Food Sciences from the University of Queensland, QLD, Australia after graduating with a Master in Food Technology degree from Curtin University, WA, Australia. Nima has a BSc in Biology from the University of Provence, Aix Marseille I, France.

Nima’s research interests include understanding and proposing solutions towards two major public health concerns cardiovascular disease and obesity via healthy eating. In her current role, Nima has been investigating the mechanisms behind the lipid-reducing properties of non-starch polysaccharides/soluble dietary fibres from cereals (e.g. oat, barley, wheat and rye) by investigating the structure/function of soluble dietary fibres in relation to their interactions with cholesterol, triglycerides and bile acids using in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo methods. She is also working on the nutritional mechanisms underpinning the epidemiological health benefits of whole fruit, vegetables and nuts, to translate these into consumer concepts (e.g. satiety per kJ and satiation). Nima has published a number of scientific articles in renowned international journals as first author, a review which is highly cited and a recent publication which has attracted media attention. Nima mentors PhD, Master, Honours and Overseas visiting students. Nima is part of the Project Leadership Team of the ARC CoE in Plant Cell Walls.

Chikungunya is spreading like an epidemic, with more and more cases being reported with each passing day.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, chikungunya is a viral infection that is primarily spread by the Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.
It is prevalent in Asia, Africa and the Indian subcontinent, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). However, it is becoming a more pressing concern in Florida and other southern states as well.
The symptoms of chikungunya start to appear three to seven days after being bitten by a mosquito carrying the virus. Symptoms may include a fever, joint pain, joint swelling, headaches, muscle pain, skin rashes, nausea, vomiting and fatigue.
Among all these symptoms, joint pain is one of the most prominent and painful. Patients may experience extreme joint pain, which can be almost unbearable and can persist for months or even longer.
There is no cure for this disease, and the after effects can be extremely troublesome. However, there are some home remedies that are considered effective in managing chikungunya symptoms, especially joint pain.
Here are the top 5 home remedies for chikungunya.
1. Cold Compresses
Using cold compresses is one of the best ways to reduce inflammation and joint pain due to chikungunya.
A cold compress offers a numbing effect on the nerve endings and slows down blood flow to the area, which in turn aid in reducing pain and swelling.
2. Massage
Massage is another simple, natural treatment to deal with joint pain associated with chikungunya.
Massage relaxes the muscles as well as reduces swelling and stiffness in the affected area. Also, it improves blood circulation.
3. Epsom Salt Soak
An Epsom salt soak can bring instant relief from pain. The magnesium sulfate crystals help reduce pain, swelling and inflammation. Furthermore, the heat of the warm water promotes relaxation and improves blood circulation in the body.
4. Turmeric
Another highly effective home remedy to alleviate chikungunya symptoms is turmeric. The curcumin in turmeric acts as a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent to help deal with the pain.
5. Ginger
Ginger contains anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties that can help combat pain and inflammation that one experiences while suffering from chikungunya. Its potent compounds called gingerols alleviate pain.
