WORTH TO SHARE BAKA ETO NA ANG SAGOT SA MGA PASYENTENG MAY DIABETES!
A new study has confirmed the anti-diabetic properties of the purslane herb extract Portulaca oleracea L.
Purslane
Researchers at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, led by Julian Weghuber PhD, investigated extracts prepared from seven different plants reported to exhibit anti-diabetic effects via GLUT4 (glucose transporter protein type 4) translocation-inducing properties. Induction of GLUT4 translocation without insulin is considered a key aspect to decrease elevated blood glucose levels in persons with diabetes.
In vitro models
By combining established in vitro models with modern fluorescence microscopy and atomic force microscopy, the effect of purslane and other herb extracts on cellular glucose uptake has been studied extensively.
Reducing blood glucose levels
Researchers found that only two substances, among which one is purslane extract, led to enhanced GLUT4 translocation including plasma membrane insertion, and glucose uptake in established cell models. Moreover, both extracts resulted in a distribution and clustering of GLUT4 in the plasma membrane similar to that of insulin, and appeared to reduce blood glucose levels in a living organism.
Purslane
Frutarom Health BU manufactures Portusana, a scientifically supported and unique purslane extract that captures the benefits of this ancient plant. Rich in valuable nutrients, purslane is known as a healthy culinary plant throughout the world, and is treasured for its anti-diabetic properties in Near Eastern folk medicine.

WHAT IS AN OREGANO HERBS AND HOW TO GROW IT


Alternative Titles: European marjoram, Origanum vulgare, wild marjoram
Oregano, (Origanum vulgare), also called origanum or wild marjoram, aromatic perennial herb of the mint family (Lamiaceae) known for its flavourful dried leaves and flowering tops. Oregano is native to the hills of the Mediterranean countries and western Asia and has naturalized in parts of Mexico and the United States. The herb has long been an essential ingredient of Mediterranean cooking and is widely used to season many foods. Culinary varieties, such as Greek or Italian oregano, have a strong aroma and a warm pungent taste. Ornamental cultivars are typically more bland in flavour and not suitable for cooking.
Oregano is usually grown as a small evergreen subshrub in mild climates. Its compact oval leaves are arranged oppositely and are covered with glandular trichomes (plant hairs). The young stems are typically square and hairy and become woody with age. The flowers are small and borne in clusters; they range in colour from white to pink or pale purple. All varieties contain essential oil, the principal components of which are thymol and carvacrol.
Oregano is a perennial herb that is exceptionally easy to grow and thrives under the same conditions that thyme can be found growing in. When growing oregano inside, you can use 6" pots, where it will assume more of a trailing aspect than is often found on outdoor plants. Also like thyme, oregano is an excellent plant for hot, dry and sunny places, which means it will frequently thrive indoors given enough light. Regularly pinching off leaves will encourage the plant to be bushier and increase your harvest and even a single pot will provide you with more oregano than one household can reasonably use.

Growing Conditions

  • Light: Oregano thrives under bright light, so a bright window with morning sun is perfect. Alternatively, it can be very easily grown under standard or compact fluorescent lights, as well as halide lights. In general, the brighter, the better.
  • Water: Water regularly, but not excessively. Let the soil slight dry between waterings. Oregano is naturally drought resistant.
  • Temperature: Average. Oregano is a hardy plant that will thrive down to 50˚F and up to 80˚F or higher.
  • Soil: Airy, light, fast-draining soil.
  • Fertilizer: Use liquid fertilizer, or supplement the soil with controlled-release pellets. For organic oregano, use an organic fertilizer or fortify soil with compost. Be aware that some growers swear the type of compost changes the taste of the leaves, so experiment with fertilizers.

Propagation

Like most other herbs, oregano is typically grown from nursery-raised stock or seeds. Growing oregano from seeds opens up a world of options for this tasty herb—there are many kinds of oregano beyond the standard. If seeds take too long to get started and you have an existing plant, oregano readily propagates from leaf cuttings.

Repotting

Healthy oregano is a rapid grower and will quickly fill the pot. In general, it's a good idea to cut the plant back once it begins to become unruly, which should also reduce the need for repotting. Also in general, don't repot indoor herbs (even perennials). Instead, use them for a few months, then replace the plant when the initial soil begins to show signs of exhaustion, usually after about six months. Ideally, repot oregano just once: from the initial nursery pot (usually 4" plastic pot) into a 6" clay pot when it comes home.

Varieties

There are actually several plants called oregano, including a few that aren't even related. Typical garden oregano is the Origanum vulgare. Along with marjoram, it's a member of the mint family (a particularly delicious family of plants). This plant features purple flowers and is considered a weaker tasting oregano than some of the traditional cultivars, which include Turkish oregano (O. onites) and Italian oregano (O. heracleoticum). Numerous other cultivars are also available, with tastes ranging from mild to rather spicy and strong. Organo/marjoram hybrids are also marketed. Finally, the plant frequently sold as Mexican oregano is actually not an oregano at all but related to the verbana plants.

Grower's Tips

Oregano is a great starter herb because it's easy to grow and tends to yield very well. People used to the dried oregano in bottles will likely be surprised by the sharp flavors of fresh oregano—it has a wonderful flavor that seems only barely related to the dried supermarket product. Nevertheless, oregano is an ancient medicinal plant and its use as a therapeutic agent goes back centuries, where it was used for gastrointestinal and respiratory problems. Oregano can also be dried easily and stored or used to create highly flavored oregano oil.

MALUNGGAY (MORINGA) THE SUPER POWER ORGANIC HEALTHY FOOD WE SHOULD BE EATING


Popular in the traditional medicine of many South East Asian countries, the Moringa Oleifera is now becoming famous in the rest of the world for the numerous health benefits it offers. Every single part of the plant from the roots to the fruits can be consumed and is absolutely packed with nutrients and anti oxidants. Keep reading to learn more about the advantages of eating the Moringa plant, all of which are now backed by science.

1. Stuffed With Nutrients

Just eating a few handfuls of the Moringa leaves can supply you with proteins, vitamins A, B and C, iron, riboflavin and magnesium.


2. Prevents Oxidative Stress

Oxidants in the body can cause a chemical reaction called oxidation which produces free radicals. This can cause a lot of damage to our cells. The leaf of the Moringa plant is full of antioxidants which can prevent this from happening. Consuming an extract from the leaf or even taking it in powder form can increase the levels of antioxidants in your blood.

3. Anti Inflammatory Benefits

While it is a defensive measure against infection, inflammation can cause a variety of issues like increase in blood sugar levels, cardiac problems and morbid weight gain. From research on animals, experts have discovered that the Moringa leaf can significantly decrease inflammation as it suppresses inflammation causing substances within the body.

4. Reduces Risk Of Diabetes And High Cholesterol

Various studies have shown that the isothiocyanates present in the Moringa leaf can reduce the level of blood sugar in the body thereby reducing the risk of getting diabetes and all its complications. Consuming Moringa can also reduce the level of cholesterol in the body and consequently bring down your chances of suffering from cardiac problems.

5. Keeps The Liver Healthy

The liver filters impurities from the blood, metabolizes drugs, synthesizes proteins and performs a host of other important functions. All of this is only possible when the liver enzymes are at stable levels. The polyphenols in the Moringa plant can prevent oxidative stress, reduce the risk of liver damage and even stabilize the enzyme levels.

6. Improves The Functioning Of The Brain

With all its nutritive benefits, the Moringa plant prevents oxidative stress from causing degenerative diseases in the nervous system, stabilizes the production of various important hormones like dopamine and noradrenaline, and has even proven useful for treating patients suffering from Alzheimer’s.

7. Reduces The Effects Of Exposure To Arsenic

Most of us are heavily exposed to arsenic as most of what we eat and drink is contaminated in one way or the other. In the long run this could lead to the growth of cancerous tumours and cause various cardiac issues. Researchers working with animals have seen that the leaf of the Moringa plant as well as the seeds are effective in reducing the risk of developing these problems but this has not been studied in humans.
Moringa Oleifera can be consumed in various ways. For example, you can blitz it into healthy shakes in powder form or use it like tea. However, like everything else this should be eaten in moderation or it can cause indigestion.
