Glyconutrients, Manhattan New York NYC

What we eat has a direct bearing on how we feel. There are essential nutrients which our food supply no longer provides. One of the most necessary missing components to optimal health is something called glyconutrients. Below is an article that addresses these "healing sugars.

Modern society has created an artificial nutritional deficiency. Every man, woman and child today is faced with a nutritional challenge never before witnessed by a modern society. The number of chronic illnesses that are all around us have become epidemic. By over-processing our foods, by green- farming and by growing our food supply on depleted soil along with an over use of toxic chemicals, we have managed to create an artificial nutritional deficiency that is having adverse health consequences that go way beyond weight as an issue.

Proper diet is a major factor in weight loss. What we eat also has a direct bearing on how we feel. There are essential nutrients which our food supply no longer provides. When our bodies are not given what it needs for optimum health, it lets us know through the urges and cravings we feel. It is important to remember that we are hunter-gatherers by nature. Our bodies have an inner wisdom that tells us through our internal drives to seek out what it feels is necessary to sustain itself. Have you ever finished a meal and although you feel quite full, you find yourself in front of the refrigerator searching for something? This is an example of your body telling you that something is missing. And one of the most necessary missing components to optimal health is something called glyconutrients or healing sugars. Glyconutrients, however, are not the white sugars that cause weight gain and health challenges and that are found in so much of our food supply. But rather, these glyconutrients have historically been part of our diet and are absolutely necessary to sustain life. Today we have little choice but to supplement.

Glyconutrients, what are they? The Greek word "Glyco" means "Sugar." Most people think of sugar as being bad for you. However, the following article does not deal with the refined, granulated sugars, also known as table sugar. The "Sugars That Heal" described here are naturally occurring, specific sugar molecules, found in vine ripened, naturally grown fruits and vegetables. They provide the body with important nutrition it needs. These sugars have been studied for years. However, only recently have we begun discovering their purpose in the body. An increasing number of scientists believe that certain carbohydrates represent the next frontier in the search for non-toxic treatments for various degenerative conditions. Even though we have just begun to scratch the surface in understanding the full potential of these carbohydrates, the research being reported in just the last decade has ignited a new level of hope and optimism with some of the world's leading immunologists.

One of the world's most renowned veterinary immunologists, Dr. Ian R. Tizard, writes in a published paper entitled Carbohydrates, Immune Stimulating, "there has long been a tradition in folk medicine that extracts of certain fungi and plants may be of assistance in the treatment of cancer. On investigation, many of these extracts have been found to possess potent immune-stimulating activity. In many cases, this activity is attributable to complex carbohydrates."Healthy bodies are comprised of many components working together in sophisticated harmony, and must have accurate internal communication to function correctly. In its most basic form, this communication occurs at the cellular level.To maintain a healthy body, cells must "talk" to each other. Their language is one of touch, written in saccharides (or simple sugars) on the cell surfaces. These simple sugars combine with other molecules to make glycoforms such as glycoproteins when combined with proteins or glycolipids when combined with fat. Of the 200 monosaccharides that occur naturally in plants, 8 have been discovered to be components in the cell surface glycoforms (see Harper's Biochemistry textbook). Like thousands of different "keys" projecting from the cell surface, they will either unlock the required functions of the adjoining cell or not. If the right keys are available, the body functions smoothly. If not, it doesn't. Acta Anatomica, a distinguished European journal, states that these simple sugars have a coding capacity that surpasses that of amino acids! Only two of the eight essential monosaccharides are found in today's diet. Our diets have changed in response to the demands for quicker, cheaper food. Consequently, we are not eating foods that contain the necessary fuels for our cells to communicate in a healthy, effective manner. While our body has the capacity to manufacture these simple sugars, the conversion process is complicated. During the conversion process your cells are exposed to tens of thousands of free radical hits each day. This requires time, energy and a host of other micronutrients in order to complete the conversion. Viruses can also interfere with our body's ability to make these conversions. People who are ill or who have inborn errors of metabolism are especially vulnerable to a breakdown in the process. Whenever the monosaccharides cannot be made, communication is slowed down or impaired as a result.Since your body has more than a trillion cells and fully regenerates all of its cells in approximately 1 year, any miscommunication or slowdown could cause major health problems. With millions of cells regenerating each day, it's easy to imagine what could happen if during this process, the cells didn't regenerate correctly. This is why glyconutritional supplements are essential to our diet!

Real health is more than the absence of disease. It is a positive state of being that each person must take responsibility for maintaining.
