Red Raspberry Leaf Tea for Women’s Health

Like blueberries, red raspberries grow wild up the north woods. I have many fond memories seeking out berry patches and eagerly plucking the little red gems off the plant. Unlike blueberries, I would never collect the raspberries, but pop them in my mouth right then and there. It wasn’t until I was much older that I would learn that there was more to the plant than just the delicious fruit!

What’s in Raspberry Leaf Tea for Women’s Health and What Does It Do?

Red raspberry leaves are known for easing the pain of menstrual cramps, but it can also help digestive woes as well as support heart health. It has also traditionally been used by pregnant women, as well as post-partum, the thought process being that it can ease labor by helping with pain as well as quickening the process, and “toning” the uterus. There’s quite a bit of mixed research on this, however, anecdotal evidence is extremely strong when it comes to its efficacy and I know of quite a few women who swear by it.

The leaves are rich in magnesium, calcium, potassium, and iron, as well as zinc and phosphorus. The leaves also contain a plethora of b-vitamins (B1-thiamine, B2-riboflavin, B3-niacin, B5-pantothenic acid, B6-pyridoxine, and B9-folate) as well as vitamin C.

Magnesium and potassium are both macro-minerals, which the body needs in larger amounts to support proper functioning. Iron is a trace mineral-still important, of course, but we don’t need as much of it as macro-minerals. Below the recipe is a simplified and brief explanation for some of the most important constituents of red raspberry leaf, and how they help the body.

If you decide to consume red raspberry leaf during pregnancy, it is recommended that you wait until your third trimester. Start with 1 cup daily, and over the course of several weeks move up to 3 cups daily. Should you wish to start consuming it sooner, check with a holistic health care provider or your doctor for details.

You will need…

-2-3 teaspoons of dried red raspberry leaf OR 2-3 tablespoons fresh
-Water
-Your favorite mug
-Honey or lemon (optional)

Directions

Bring water to a boil and place your leaves in a strainer or tea ball in your mug. Fill the mug with fresh, boiling water and cover, letting it steep, for 6-8 minutes. Remove the leaves, add honey or lemon to taste, and enjoy!

The Nitty-Gritty on Red Raspberry Leaf for Women’s Health & Why It’s Good

Magnesium

Magnesium is a co-factor over 300 enzyme reactions in the body. Needless to say-it’s kind of important. It regulates protein synthesis-one of the most fundamental biological processes-, muscle and nerve function-including nerve impulse, muscle contraction, and normal heart rhythm, as well as blood glucose control, blood pressure, and energy production.

It aids structural development of bone, and plays a role in the synthesis (basically, production) of DNA and RNA. If you need a little reminder, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a self-replicating material present in just about every living thing.

It is the carrier of genetic information. RNA (ribonucleic acid) is present in all living cells, and essentially carries instructions for DNA regarding the synthesis of proteins. There’s really no simple way to sum up that process…but it’s important!

Potassium

Potassium plays a large role in smooth muscle function. Smooth muscle is the kind in your intestines, heart, etc. as opposed to skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle you think about contracting-like when you flex your bicep. Smooth muscle is subconscious-you don’t think about making your heartbeat, or your intestines contract to push food through. Potassium conducts electricity, along with calcium and magnesium, which regulates the impulses to move these muscles.

Calcium

Much like the other vital minerals, the body cannot produce calcium on its own-which is why it is so important to consume enough of it from healthy outside sources (I am not one to drink a lot of milk, so this was a “concern” for me growing up. Don’t worry-there are other ways to get what you need!)

Roughly 99% of the calcium in our bodies is concentrated in our bones and teeth, but it also helps nerves fire, blood to clot, and works with potassium and magnesium to contract muscles. It is, in fact, so vital to muscle function that your body will draw it from your very bones if you do not ingest enough.

Iron 

Iron is a mineral that has several roles in the body, the biggest one being the creation of healthy oxygen-carrying red blood cells. Roughly two-thirds of the bodies iron is found in the protein haemoglobin, which is responsible for carrying oxygen from our lungs to other parts of the body.

Anaemia is when you don’t have enough haemoglobin and is usually when people start taking iron supplements. Exhaustion, a racing heart, restless legs, shortness of breath-all are common signs of anaemia. Women are at the highest risk.

Zinc/Phosphorus

Zinc is a vital part of the immune system, and also ties into the creation of proteins and DNA. Phosphorus, after calcium, is the most abundant mineral in the human body, with 85% of it being located in the bones and teeth. It works closely with calcium to build strong bones and teeth.

B/C Vitamins

In short, B complex vitamins do a variety of jobs, often times working together. They convert nutrients to energy, maintain skin and hair health, regulate stress hormones, and boost HDL cholesterol (the “good” cholesterol.)

Vitamin C helps the body form and maintain some of its vital components, including blood vessels, skin, connective tissue, and bones.

When you take a look at the breakdown of the leaves, it’s not hard to see why they would be helpful for heart health, muscles, or even strengthening the uterus. There is no magic “super herb” out there, but red raspberry leaf tea is a great herbal tea to add to your daily routine to keep everything running smoothly.

Revealing Here - 3 Homemade Cream Recipes for Arthritis and Joint Pain

Homemade Hot Pepper Cream for Arthritis & Joint Pain

The active component in hot peppers that gives them their heat is called capsaicin, and the hotter the pepper, the higher the level of capsaicin there is. While rubbing something that seems flaming hot onto your sore joints doesn’t initially seem like it would help arthritis, capsaicin cream is commonly sold OTC as a pain reliever.

Why?

Capsaicin depletes a neurotransmitter called substance P, which is responsible for sending pain signals to our brain. If we block the big P, we never get the memo that something is hurting, and therefore end up pain free.

Instead of paying for the arthritis cream at the store, try making your own. It offers great peace of mind to know what exactly you are absorbing into your skin, and it’s rewarding to make yourself.

Note: It is normal for there to be somewhat of a burning sensation when first applied. If you have sensitive skin, use with caution. Always wear gloves when handling hot pepper powder, and avoid any contact with your eyes. If you wanted to look extra awesome when you make this, a pair of goggles isn’t a bad idea.

Homemade Cream Recipes for Arthritis and Joint Pain #1 - Original Capsaicin Cream Recipe

You will need…

-3 tablespoons of cayenne powder
-1 cup of grapeseed oil (or any other oil like almond, olive, jojoba)
-1/2 cup of grated beeswax
-A double boiler
-A glass jar with a tightly fitting lid

Directions

Mix together 3 tablespoons of cayenne powder with 1 cup of your oil of choice and heat in a double boiler for 5-10 minutes over medium heat. Stir in a 1/2 cup of grated beeswax and continue to stir until it has melted completely and everything is blended together.

Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, and then whisk together. Chill for another 10-15 and then whip again before putting it in a glass jar with a tightly fitting lid and storing in the refrigerator. It will keep for 1 ½ weeks-apply daily as needed for pain.

Homemade Cream Recipes for Arthritis and Joint Pain #2 - Super-Strength Cream

The hotter the pepper, the more capsaicin it has, making this cream super strength.

You will need…

-1 cup of beeswax
-4 tablespoons of Habanero powder
-4 cups of grapeseed or another oil, such as almond, jojoba, or olive
-Gloves
-A double boiler
-A glass jar with a tightly fitting lid

Directions

Combine 4 tablespoons of Habanero powder with 4 cups of grapeseed or olive oil in a double boiler. Let this mixture warm up over medium heat for 5-10 minutes. After it’s warmed, melt 1 cup of beeswax into the mixture and stir it until everything is smoothly blended together. Let it chill for 10 minutes in the refrigerator and then whisk together.

Chill for another 10-15 minutes and then whip together once more before pouring into a glass container with a tightly fitting lid and refrigerating it. It should keep its potency for 1 1/2 weeks. Apply as needed for pain, stopping use if any irritation occurs.

Homemade Cream Recipes for Arthritis and Joint Pain #3 - Little Bit Extra Cream

This cream includes the other notable anti-inflammatory’s and pain reducers turmeric and ginger, as well as cayenne.

You will need…

-3 cups of grapeseed oil, or any other oil like almond, jojoba, or olive
-3 tablespoons of ground cayenne
-1/2 cup of beeswax
-3 tablespoons of turmeric
-2 tablespoons of ground ginger
-A double boiler

Directions

Mix together 3 tablespoons of ground cayenne, 3 tablespoons of turmeric, and 2 tablespoons of ground ginger. Add this to 3 cups of grapeseed oil in a double boiler and stir until mixed thoroughly. Warm over medium heat for 5-10 minutes and then add in 1/2 cup of beeswax.

Stir until the beeswax has melted completely and everything is blended together, and then remove from heat and chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes take it out and whisk it together and then refrigerate for another 10, blending it once more at the end.

Put in a glass jar with a tightly fitting lid in the refrigerator, where it will keep for 1 ½ weeks. Apply as needed for pain, but with this cream, rub in as much as you can and then let it dry before rinsing off. The turmeric will really stain.

When you use your cream, really take the time to gently massage it into each aching joint. The little bit of stimulation helps get your circulation pumping and circulates blood through your joints. This gets much needed oxygen and nutrients to them, which is especially good for osteoarthritis.

Don’t forget to wear gloves when handling super spicy stuff (like the habanero) and stop using if it causes too much irritation.

Watch this video - All Natural Homemade Cream for Arthritis & Joint Pain

Important note on use!

If you don’t want the little bits of spices in there, follow the steps below to get a smooth infused oil to use in the cream (this makes it easier to get absorbed.)

Mix together your oil and spices for whichever recipe you choose to do. Heat over medium heat in a double boiler for 15 minutes, and then remove it to cool and infuse for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, strain through a cheesecloth and reserve the infused oil. After it is strained melt the beeswax in a double boiler, and pour in the infused oil. Stir until blended thoroughly, and then follow the same steps for chilling, whipping, and storing as above.

Warning: These spices stain. Do wear an apron or clothes, you don’t mind putting at risk when making these.

Avoid Stroke and Heart Attack - How Paleo Cause Stroke and Heart Attack

Diets seem to come and go all the time, but the paleo diet has been going from strength to strength.

Have you felt tempted to try it?

If you’ve adopted “the caveman diet” for heart health reasons, then a new study in the European Journal of Nutrition might come as a shock to you.

For those who don’t know, the paleo diet promotes foods that hunter-gatherers would have eaten more than 10,000 years ago (in the Paleolithic era—hence the name) things like fish, lean meats, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and seeds. It forbids foods like dairy products, grains, legumes, potatoes, added sugar, salt, and processed foods.

The new study—carried out by researchers from Edith Cowan University in Western Australia—investigated the effect of the paleo diet on gut health, since previous studies contradicted each other on this issue.

They recruited 47 people who had eaten a relatively healthy diet for the previous 12 months, together with 44 people who had eaten a paleo diet for at least the previous 12 months.

The paleo group was divided into a strict paleolithic group that consumed less than one serving of grains and dairy per day and a pseudo-paleolithic group that consumed more than one serving of these food groups per day.

Unsurprisingly, they found that the paleo groups were eating more fat than the other groups and that the strict paleo group consumed the most protein. They also discovered that the paleo dieters were not short of fiber, as one may have expected, given the lack of grains and legumes on their plate.

Still, that wasn’t enough to save the paleo crowd, as their blood, urine, and stool samples revealed a few unsavory truths.

Firstly, they had much more trimethylamine-n-oxide (TMAO) in their blood than the other subjects. TMAO is a compound that’s produced in our intestines, and too much of it spells bad news.

Almost all the research up to now says that it’s a major heart disease risk.

The TMAO levels were highest in the strict paleo group, the people that consumed almost no grains at all, so their heart disease risk goes way up.

So rather than Paleo, cut out this ONE ingredient (you didn’t even know you were consuming) to avoid stroke and heart attack…

Avoid Stroke and Heart Attack - The Tasty Treat that Cuts Blood Pressure and Cholesterol

Bad food tastes good. That’s part of the reason why it can be so difficult to beat conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol. It’s unfortunate that your cardiovascular health is not best friends with many of the sweet things in this world.

But if you do have a sweet tooth then we have some good news for you, because there is one fabulous feel good food that tastes great and can still help your health.

It can help make your heart healthier, reduce your blood pressure, cut your bad cholesterol, ramp up your brain activity and even pep up your love life.

Well, it shouldn’t be too surprising that chocolate is healthy given that it starts life as cocoa beans, which are loaded with flavanol. Flavanol is an antioxidant, one of those Swiss army knives of health that stops blood clots, boosts blood flow to the heart and brain, reduces high blood pressure, and lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke.

But it’s not the only antioxidant that cocoa beans are choc full of. There are even more of these helpful substances which are so beneficial to vascular health, and which also take the fight to free radicals—the harmful molecules which contribute to oxidation in the body.

Increased oxidation opens the way for LDL cholesterol—the bad sort—to start forming plaque on the arterial walls. As a result, they become narrower and more rigid, which is a perfect recipe for heart attack and stroke.

There are many things in the environment that can cause damage to the body, like pollution, cigarette smoke, and even too much sunlight, and antioxidants help to mop up the effects of all of them, before they can do their damage.

But it isn’t just the free radicals that help put chocolate on a par with health foods. There’s also the fat content. The majority of fat in chocolate comes from cocoa butter, which contains oleic, palmitic and stearic fatty acids (and you’ll find Oleic acid in olive oil too). It’s monounsaturated, which means it is heart-healthy and a proven blood pressure reducer.

The palmitic and stearic fatty acids are saturated fats, but still, research has found that they don’t hurt your cholesterol levels, which is odd but welcome news!

It’s now well established that chocolate can lower stress levels and improve a person’s sense of well-being and happiness. This is probably down to the fact that it’s great at boosting the production of endorphins, the brain’s natural happiness chemicals. And you also get serotonin in the mix, the body’s own antidepressant, too.

It’s worth mentioning that the brain releases these happiness chemicals when we’re in love, so when people say that they love chocolate, they really do mean it.

The only fly in the ointment with chocolate is the high sugar content. That’s why we’d recommend dark chocolate over milk chocolate every time. Choose the dark stuff with at least 65% cocoa content. Current research leads us to believe that 3 ounces (85 grams) of chocolate a day will give you all of the health benefits without the sugar rush.

As good as chocolate is for you, it can’t handle the job of lowering your blood pressure all on its own. For that you’re going to need something else, and these 3 simple exercises are the answer to lowering your blood pressure down to 120/80 right away…

And cholesterol control is more than chocolate can handle on its own too, so try this step-by-step approach that will get you back to healthy levels in less than a month…

Avoid Stroke and Heart Attack - Shingles Increases Your Risk of These Two Deadly Conditions

A recently published study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology shows that people at risk of shingles are also at risk of heart attacks and strokes because of the virus that causes shingles.

Shingles comes from the Herpes Zoster virus. It first causes chickenpox, usually in childhood, then it bides its time, lying dormant in your body until it shows up as shingles when you’re older.

But how does it cause stroke and heart attack?

The authors of the new study used medical data relating to South Koreans. This gave researchers extensive demographic and medical information for 570,000 people.

519,880 of them were observed between 2003 and 2013 and in that time 23,233 were diagnosed with the Herpes Zoster virus, primarily because they developed shingles.

The scientists created a comparison group with selections based on demographic and medical information.

The shingles group suffered 1.34 more strokes per 1,000 person-years than the non-shingles group did. They also suffered 0.8 heart attacks more per 1,000 person-years than the non-shingles group did.

The risk was highest for people under 40 and for those who had had shingles in the past year.

The fact that the youngest people with few cardiovascular disease risk factors experienced the highest risk was surprising, as we would usually expect older people with clogged arteries and higher blood pressure to experience strokes and heart attacks.

The authors looked at previously published studies to help them suggest why shingles might increase the risk of cardiovascular problems.

When active, the Herpes Zoster virus can replicate right next to arteries. This causes inflammation in those arteries which, in turn, can cause them to block or burst.

Even when dormant, the virus is constantly reactivated at a level that causes no symptoms. When this occurs next to arteries, the same thing happens.

The virus tends to move through your nervous system to the center of your body, where you have the largest arteries.

The virus increases both your blood pressure and negative emotions.

The virus compromises your immune system, which then puts you at risk of medical problems, including cardiovascular ones.

This all points to why we should live healthy lifestyles. Being healthy is the best way to be ensure that your immune system is strong enough to resist the shingles virus. It tends to attack people who are older with weaker immune systems, so the healthier and stronger we can keep ourselves, the better we can resist it.

If you have high cholesterol, learn how to eliminate it by cutting out the one ingredient explained here (maybe it helps with shingles too)…

This post is from the Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy Program. It was created by Scott Davis. Because he once suffered from high cholesterol, so much so that he even had a severe heart attack. This is what essentially led him to finding healthier alternatives to conventional medication. Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy is a unique online program that provides you with all the information you need to regain control of your cholesterol levels and health, as a whole.

Improve Liver Function Fast - By cleansing your body from toxins you can boost your defence system against fatty liver

In natural healing, there's a principle that cleansing the internal organs of the body is what keeps people healthy and prevents aging, keeping you look youthful for a long time.

Here's the rationale: The more toxins your body contains, the more unhealthy the cells are, since cells are not supposed to contain toxins. It's not difficult to understand that a cell that has no toxins is going to operate at a higher capacity than one that is full of toxins. The process of cleansing detoxifies the body's burden of the toxins.

Toxins affect the entire body, not just the cell. When cells fill up with toxins, then the body becomes overwhelmed with them, and can't perform its normal functions as well. The body can deal with a certain amount of toxins in the cells, but if the level of cells affected is too high, you'll end up with disease. Toxin-filled cells are associated with diseases such as allergies, autoimmune diseases, and skin disorders.

Your body has five major detoxification organs that assist you with this process: your skin, colon, liver, gall bladder, and kidneys. Detoxification is going on simultaneously in all locations 24/7, but a major blockage in the process will be constipation. If you are unable to evacuate the meals you've eaten that your body has processed, then the rest of the organs get backed up and their detoxification processes could slow down or even stop.
Your liver is next in the chain of organs that detoxify toxins. Your colon may be working perfectly but if your liver is backed up and can't properly process foods and chemicals, its cells become overworked. Fatty liver may set in, simply because the liver can't eliminate the fats properly. That's when the fats can accumulate and cause fatty liver.
If your colon is not working properly, the liver will not have access to the best place to dump toxins - your colon. These toxins have to go somewhere and they end up overloading the skin and the kidneys.

Your body is an amazing machine that works properly 24/7 but you have to help it along the way by eating a healthy diet, one not too high in calories or the wrong fats, and taking your supplements to insure you have good levels of all vitamins and minerals your body needs.

Improve Liver Function Fast - Benefits of Liver Cleansing Diets

Liver cleansing diets are never boring. You will eat more vegetables than ever before, delight in fruits, eat different types of protein foods, nuts, and wholesome grains. Herb teas and pure water are included as well as vegetable juices. All foods are made from wholesome organic sources and protein sources are grass-fed and antibiotic-free.

The reason why you want to start a liver cleansing diet if you have fatty liver disease is because you want to give your liver the perfect opportunity to regenerate. Medications will never be able to regenerate the liver unless the medications are stem cells! Your body was made to last for many years, and because of all the toxic chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals in the environment now, we all have to cleanse our liver from these substances.

When we do, benefits come. Here's a list of some of those benefits:

1 Increased energy levels

Toxins drain your body of energy.

2 Increased mental focus

With fewer toxins in the brain, your mental focus is like a laser.

3 Stronger immune system

Liver cells do participate in immunity.

4 Clearer skin

Your friends will notice how radiant your skin is after starting a liver cleansing diet.

5 Greater creativity

Fewer toxins in the brain means ideas will flow freely.

6 Healthier hair and nails

With a liver cleansing diet, there's no reason for your hair and nails to not grow.

7 Body smells better

Without toxins, your body smells better.

8 Weight loss

That weight around the middle may be due to a sluggish liver.

9 Easier to get up in the morning

Toxins bog you down and make you feel more fatigued. Without them, you spring up in bed.

10 Resetting of the body's sleep cycles

Melatonin may be more efficiently created when liver cells are working better.

11 Relief from allergies

Allergies are a thing of the past if you do enough liver cleanses and eat a liver cleansing diet.

12 No need for body therapies such as chiropractic and massage, or decreased need

Without toxins building up in the joints, you feel freer and have a better range of motion.

13 Vision improves

In Chinese medicine, eyesight is connected with the liver meridian.

14 Depression lessens

Depression is an emotion translated into chemicals in the body. If the liver is clogged, then the body can't break down the chemicals and they recirculate throughout the body. This contributes to depression.

15 Hormones balance out on their own

One function of the liver is to break down hormones and create new hormones. With a purer liver, your body is able to do this easier.

16 Normalization of body functions (heart rate, blood pressure)

Over time, a liver cleansing diet tends to balance heart rate and blood pressure.

17 Mood balancing

Since the liver's function includes breaking down the chemicals produced by emotions, when you detoxify, it helps improve moods.

Foods to Eat to Cure Fatty Liver - Foods to Eat When Diagnosed with Fatty Liver

Diet is your first line of offense against a diagnosis of fatty liver. Your diet can totally transform your health and your life.

Below are eight foods to eat in your diet if you have fatty liver.

1 Green Leafy Vegetables

Green leafy veggies are the #1 food to have in your diet when diagnosed with fatty liver. Kale, spinach, watercress, dandelion greens, mustard greens, collard greens and romaine lettuce are full of nutrients that help your liver regenerate.

2 Healthy Fruits

Fruits contain different types of acids that help purify the cells of the liver. For example, apples contain malic acid which helps dissolve stones in the gall bladder and liver. Healthy fruits are fruits closest to their raw form.

3 Protein

Your liver needs enough protein in your diet in order to regenerate itself. Some studies have shown in the past that 100 grams protein a day is the 'magic' amount where the liver can detoxify itself from toxins.

4 Milk Thistle

Milk thistle is often one of the primary components of herbal formulas. Several herbal formulas tested scientifically that contain milk thistle have been proven to target the pathological events that initiate and make fatty liver disease progress.

5 Green Tea

Green tea's medicinal actions include antioxidant, thermogenic (heat-creating), fat reducing and anti-inflammatory activities that make it an herb with liver-protecting properties.

In a 2012 medical report found in the journal Nutrition Reviews, scientists concluded: " This reivew presents the experimental evidence demonstrating the hepatoprotective properties of green tea and its catechins and the proposed mechanisms by which these targeted dietary agents protect against non-alcoholic fatty acid disease.

6 Soy

In a rat study on the effects of soy on lean and obese animals, animals fed either casein milk protein or soy for 17 weeks showed a difference in their liver tests. The animals that ate soy diets reduced their triglyceride levels by 20% plus they reduced their overall liver fat accumulation.

The researchers had evidence to believe that soy partially restored part of the fat metabolism. They believe that adding soy to diets of those who are obese or have fatty liver disease would be able to make a difference and could assist in reversing the disease.

7 Liver Cleanse Formulas

Liver cleanse formulas are combinations of herbs that 'clean out' the cells of the liver, and help it regenerate. There are many different kinds on the market.

8 Camel Milk

Camel milk contains natural insulin that can help insulin resistance in those who are overweight or have metabolic syndrome. It has been known to help decrease the amount of insulin needed by diabetics.

In one study in Saudi Arabia, camel milk given to rats eating a high fat, cholesterol-rich diet that causes fatty liver, 8 weeks of camel milk drinking decreased the fat in the liver, the inflammatory cell infiltration of the liver, increased glutathione levels, and preserved liver function. It totally eliminated the fatty liver changes normally caused by the diet. Camel milk is available from Amish farmers in the United States.

Foods to Eat to Cure Fatty Liver - Taking Antioxidants Can Help Promote Liver Health

The antioxidant vitamins include vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E. All these vitamins must be in adequate amounts in the diet in order to prevent deficiencies and all of them work together to protect and replenish each other. The antioxidants are important in prevention of many diseases, including fatty liver disease.

There are real reasons why taking antioxidants is a good idea when you have fatty liver disease. Obesity and eating too much of the wrong fats in the diet generate free radicals that cause fat cell dysfunctions and reprograms these cells genetically in a negative way. This leads to a low-grade systemic inflammation and situation where the cells accumulate even more fat. It soon becomes a vicious cycle. Free radicals generated from this process will accelerate the progression of fatty liver disease.

Obesity reduces the amount of vitamin C in the blood and the distribution of body fat in obesity has been shown to have an inverse relationship to vitamin C levels in the plasma. Thus, it appears that taking vitamin C supplements could play an important role in preventing or reversing fatty liver disease, since fatty liver disease is caused by obesity.

In one Chinese study, scientists reviewed all the medical studies and found that vitamin E supplementation reduced ALT and AST levels in patients who had non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In fact, it optimized their levels, showing improvement in the condition.

In another study, the relationship between low levels of vitamin A in the body and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was uncovered. Up to two-thirds of obese subjects had low levels of vitamin A in the liver, and the lower their levels were, the greater the severity of their fatty liver condition.

When considering the addition of antioxidants in your diet, always remember that vitamin A, C, and E must be taken together and not singly. This way you can get the maximum benefits. Seeking the aid of a nutritionist to determine what levels your body needs is always the best solution.
