Red Blood Cells Carry a Heavy Load

Maintaining a healthy heart and circulatory system requires healthy red blood cells. These hard-working, unique cells deserve some attention. So, here are a few interesting facts that will earn your respect:

• The average red blood cell lives for 120 days. Once mature, red blood cells contain no nucleus or DNA, so they can no longer replicate or repair themselves.
• There are approximately 2.5 trillion red blood cells in your body at any given time. To maintain this number, the body has to produce about 2.5 million red blood cells per second in the bone marrow. That is over 200 billion new red blood cells per day.
• About 5.6 liters of blood circulate through the body three times every minute. That means a red blood cell can circumnavigate your body in less than 20 seconds.
• The largest artery in the body, the aorta, is about the diameter of a garden hose.
• Capillaries, on the other hand, are only 1/10th the diameter of a human hair.
• The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps to sq**rt blood over 10 meters (30 feet).

Everything you eat and breathe is circulated and delivered to tissues and cells throughout the body. Keep your cells running longer and stronger by providing them all the right fuel, fluids, and nutrients they need.

Say Hello to My Little CELLS

Cells are talked about a lot in nutrition and health. And it makes sense since you can’t really be healthy if you don’t have strong, flourishing cells.

Understanding basic functions and characteristics of your cells can be a real advantage when you take an interest in your health. That’s especially true with new science and technology emerging all the time.

Whether you are just now learning about the basic functions and make-up of the human cell, or need a refresher, this infographic is informative, and easy to understand.

Love—Just What the Doctor Ordered

Love comes in many shapes and sizes. No matter where you stand on the subject, one thing is becoming clearer. Strong relationships and love are good for your health.

Here are a few of the possible health benefits of love:

• Less frequent trips to the doctor: Studies have linked marriage to fewer doctor visits and shorter hospital stays. It’s thought that people in good relationships are more likely to take better care of themselves.
• Reduced risk of depression and substance abuse: Although it shouldn’t be surprising, people in good marriages have lower rates of depression, drinking, and drug abuse.
• Less anxiety: According to a study using MRI brain scans, strongly connected couples in long-term relationships have more activation in the areas of the brain associated with bonding and less in the area that produces anxiety.1
• Healthier blood pressure: A good relationship can be good for your blood pressure. A study in the Annals of Behavioral Medicine showed that happily married people had better blood pressure than singles. The worst were unhappily married people.2
• Better stress management: Research has shown a link between good social support and relationships and improved ability to cope with stress.
• Healthier immune system: People in healthy relationships are less likely to get sick after exposure to cold or flu viruses. This may be partly due to reduced stress and depression resulting in enhanced immune response.3
• Longer lifespan: Many research studies have linked happy marriages to longer life. The feeling of love and connection helps protect against loneliness and isolation, which are tied to increased mortality risk.
• Happier life: One of the greatest benefits of love is joy. According to research in the Journal of Family Psychology, happiness depends more on the quality of family relationships than on the level of income.4

You don’t have to be married or in love to have good health and live a long life. But reduced stress, lower levels of anxiety, and strong social connections are key ingredients in a recipe for a longer, healthier life.

Don’t Fear the Lectins

Misinformation is everywhere. The “dangers” of lectins reported by some websites are highly exaggerated and often not even relevant to how foods are actually consumed. Do you know anybody that eats uncooked kidney beans?

Lectins are basically glycoproteins. They are found in nearly all plants but are found in the highest concentration in raw legumes (beans, lentils, peas) and whole grains. High levels can cause gastrointestinal distress, especially if they are not cooked or prepared appropriately.

Can lectins be unhealthy or problematic? Yes, but so can essential nutrients like vitamin A, selenium, and iron. Is lectin intake from normal mixed diets a health risk? No, assuming a person doesn't have specific allergies or intolerances to the lectin containing food. Just because there are people who have serious allergies to peanuts, for example, does not make them dangerous or unhealthy for everyone.

There are, in fact, certain lectins that are of benefit. The bottom line is that as long as foods are cooked and prepared properly, a normally healthy individual should not be concerned about the lectins they are consuming in a healthy mixed diet. And, “avoiding” lectins, like some websites recommend, will leave you missing out on a lot of otherwise very healthy foods.

The following link is a good review of what they are and how to reduce lectin concentration in your food. They are not always undesirable and do play some beneficial roles in health. But, like just about everything in health, moderation is the key.
