Brain Power: Fish Oil, Omega-3 & omega-6

   If you recall in our previous post on amino acids (Click HERE) we reviewed the importance of three major components in our nutrition and their roles in our body; more specifically that of Amino Acids. In this post we will be looking more closely at Fats and how we can benefit from their value as a supplement.
                So what are Fatty acids? Fatty acids are the building blocks that are the basis of fats and oils and their structure. In today’s society, fats are usually associated with a negative value, however the opposite is true. Our body does need SOME kind of fats, the right kind of course. Those fatty acids that are not made by the body, known as essential fatty acids, need to be supplied though a well-balanced diet.
                Some of the benefits of essential fatty acids include but are not limited to: improving skin and hair, can help lower cholesterol and blood pressure and support prevention of arthritis.  Other benefits include supporting our bodies control and/or aid in prevention of diseases like cardiovascular disease, eczema and psoriasis.
                However a deficit in these fatty acids can prove risky for our bodies. A deficiency of essential fatty acids can lead to: impaired ability to recall information and learning, even children’s formula now contain ARA and DHA, essential fats that promote learning. Essential Fatty Acids are also necessary in the building, rebuilding, and production of new cells.
*(Nutritional Healing 5th ed., 2014)
            Omega-3 & 6
                There are two basic types of categories of Essential Fatty Acids: omega-3 and omega-6. Omega-3 EFAs, are usually found in fresh water fish, fish oil and certain vegetable oils (like canola oil, flaxseed oil, and walnut oil).  Omega-6 EFAs, are primarily found in raw nuts, seeds, legumes, and unsaturated vegetable oil (like borage oil, grape seed oil, primrose oil, sesame and soybean oil).
                (According to an article in Nutritional Healing 5th ed., 2014):
                “…A recent study reported in the British medical journal Lancet has shown that omega-3 fatty acids, which create a more stable arterial plaque, are better for your heart than the omega-6 variety
                They go on to suggest that sacrificing omega-6 consumption for omega-3 may be beneficial. Howeveralways remember to consult your medical practitioner with any questions or health concerns. They also suggest that these oils be consumed in pure liquid or supplement form and to not heat, cook, etc.
            Fish Oil
                Fish oil is a good source of Omega-3 EFAs. Some good sources of fish oil include Salmon, tuna (1 serving per week limit) and sardines, because of their higher fat content compared to other fishes. According to the article (Nutritional Healing 5th Ed., 2014) they point out that that cod liver oil becomes your only source of omega-3, with a high dosage of Vitamin A and D, individuals may be obtaining high dosages amounts of these vitamins, perhaps even overdose.  Individuals with diabetes should care to not take fish oil supplements because of the high risk of fish oil raising their blood pressure.
Always remember to consult your medical practitioner with any questions or health concerns.

The Power of Pregnenolone

Physical and emotional health is as equally important. A supplement that targets and supports both can be quite beneficial to our supplement intake. Some of the common uses of Pregnenolone are memory support, immune health and mood support. But what is Pregnenolone?

                Pregnenolone is a 3-alpha-hydroxy-5 beta-pregnen-20-one and the basis to over 150 steroid hormone and is produced naturally in our bodies from cholesterol.  The compound diosgenin is extracted from wild yam and undergoes a synthetic process of its properties to develop the Pregnenolone compound. (PureEncapsulations.com, 2014)
                Pregnenolone is a naturally occurring hormone that may help improve brain function, memory, and boost mood. Some of the benefits of Pregnenolone is that it can help our body metabolize it into selections of other vital hormones. It is a precursor to DHEA and other steroid hormones such as progesterone, testosterone, estrogen and cortisol. (Nutritional Health, 2010)
                Some of the recommendations that Pure Encapsulation makes on dosage and precautions are but not limited to:
·         Pure Encapsulations recommends 10-30mg per day with a meal, preferably in the morning or early afternoon
·         Should only be used under the direction and supervision of a health care practitioner
·         This product should not be taken by individuals with healthy levels of Pregnenolone
·         Best utilized by individuals over the age of 40 and should not be used to enhance athletic ability or endurance.
·         DO NOT USE if pregnant or nursing
·         Not for use for individuals under the age of 18 years old
·         Keep out of the reach of children
Potential Side Effects:
·         Acne, hair loss, hair growth on the face (in women), aggressiveness, irritability and increased levels of estrogen.
·         Pregnenolone may inhibit drugs used to increase GABA activity, these drugs are used in the treatment of epilepsy and depression*

POSITIVE POWER NUTRITION: SUPER SILICA

POSITIVE POWER NUTRITION: SUPER SILICA

So what is Silica?
Silica is a naturally occurring mineral that can be found in soil. As a component of a supplement, it is usually found in soils rich in sandstone and quartz. Silicon, the second most abundant element on the planet, is usually seen in the form of Silica (a compound of silicon and oxygen).
What are the benefits of silica?
A proper silica intake can help restore hair density and color, strengthen nails and reduces wrinkles.  Another benefit of silica, is that it can help improve conditions such as psoriasis and eczema form the inside out. It can also help rebuild damaged skin. Silica, in a nutshell, is a natural mineral that supports the repairing of nails, hair, damaged skins, etc. Not unlike a natural aesthetician, it can be your own natural beautician!  


What are the risks of maintaining a low level of Silica?
According to an article by ASAPS (American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) Americans spent almost 11 billion dollars on cosmetics procedure in 2012.  Of that, $2 billion was spent on injectable procedures; 1.8 billions on skin rejuvenation procedures, and about 42 million in laser treatment for veins conditions. Of course we have to keep in mind the other expenses not included: facility fees, anesthesia, medical tests for clearance, post and pre-surgery follow-ups, prescriptions, time, etc. (ASAPS, 2014)
So the question lie, in this hard economy, why not take a much inexpensive and natural approach for beauty treatments? Instead of so many surgical procedures, we might benefit from natural supplements that can aid our body in its natural repairing process.
There are many benefits to a proper silica intake. For example:
1. Your body naturally uses silica to create lattice (made of collagen) that gives bones their shape, strength and flexibility. Collagen is like a Super glue that holds our body together (in our endless fight against the natural gravity that comes with aging ^.^) and is made up largely of silica. Silica is also important for teeth enamel to form and be maintained, especially as we age.
2. Ligament tendons, muscles and cartilage can shrink, become brittle and/or even lose flexibility if we do not maintain a proper silica intake. Usually a way to detect a low essential nutrients is through pain signals that warn of the lack.
3. Peristaltic action in our bodies (involuntary and automatic expansion and contraction) in the arteries and digestive tract is completely dependent on organ flexibility; they can benefit from a sufficient silica intake can help regain flexibility and restore proper movement.
4. Individuals should always consult with their healthcare professionals for Individual guidance for specific healthcare concerns. Ask your doctor, if taking any other pill for the heart or for questions.
So in a nutshell, what are the main function Silica has in my body?
Silica‘s main functions are: flexibility, Structure, Cleansing, and energizing.
So who should take Silica?
Technically Silica can benefit everyone, but some individuals with higher deficiency or problems may benefit more. Consult your primary healthcare practitioner for any questions. 
What is a proper dosage of Silica?
In today’s society, even individuals who follow a healthy balanced diet, may not get as much Silica as they may need. Today’s produce contain a much lower level of Silica compared to what they might have had in the past. This is mainly because (1) new irrigations systems have moved, this causes only a minimum of silt (broken down silica) to be absorbed by the plants we eat. (2) Because of the toxins in the air, water and food, much more silica is needed to remove these toxins from our bodies.
Why is Positive Power Nutrition Super SilicaTM better than other Silica products?
It is not that it is the BEST out there. However Positive Power Super Silica does contain a few superior qualities compared to others. For example:
1. Every bottle is energized with Cell PowerÒ, which eases the opening of the cell’s membrane in your body, and hence is transported faster.
2. Silica uses IONIC silic, which means that the size of the silicon molecule is broken down into smaller pieces before digestion, and hence better absorption.
3. Silica has approximately a 90% absorption, compared to other silica products which can 10-15% absorption and horsetail vegetable silica has about 1.5-5%.
NOT a solution, but instead a Helping Hand
No supplement guarantees a “fix” or a 100% solution. As we age is only normal that deficiency occurs, by providing our body with a proper intake of silica (or any other supplement really), we take an action aiding our body in deficiencies that occur not only normal as we age, but lifestyle and/or environmental changes. The dosage and time of Silica can vary with specific health conditions. There are some precautions to take, as with any other supplement, medicine or treatment.
1. First and always make sure to contact your doctor with any questions and/or health concerns.
2. When deficiencies are present, our body preserves silica amounts for the most vital organs and body functions and can take silica away from less crucial body functions. This means, that a change or benefit will take time to be present depending on the current health condition and current silica amount of the individual.
3. Healing usually occurs top-down and from inside out.
4.  Silica intake may require at least 30 days of supplementation at therapeutic dosage of 60 drops of Super Silica in 60 ounces of water per day. (PPN, 2014) Virtually speaking for a deficiency of -6 (refer to chart above) it can take approximately 6 months to see any results.
