Good Food, Good Health – Liver

We are all guilty of taking our body for granted and especially our vital organs including the liver our largest internal organ. We all seem far too engrossed in our ‘looks’ nowadays and spend far too much precious time and money on this through creams, pills and fad diets, but by keeping good health of the whole body and organs helps to keep the ravages of time at bay.

As you know our motto is ‘good food good health’ and we believe that maintaining your well being through a varied nutritional diet should be everybody’s goal- you are what you eat after all.

How well you eat can also affect how well your liver performs, therefore it is important to eat good food to support it, as good nutrition helps form new liver cells and can help rebuild some damaged cells enabling good health.

The liver is the great detoxifier of the body. Our bodies are subjected to toxic substances everywhere, not only from food and drink that we consume but also from the air that we breathe and from chemicals that we use daily around our houses and come into contact with at work.

When toxins build up and accumulate overloading the detoxification system, we can become progressively more sensitive and suffer illness.

The liver consists of four unequal lobes is sited under your diaphragm slightly to the right side of your body and generally weighs about 1.36 kg

The main function of the liver is to get rid of toxins and produce bile but it completes a whole host more – converting glucose to glycogen, producing substances that break down fats, making certain amino acids that are the building blocks of proteins, producing urea the main substance in urine, filtering harmful substances from the blood, storing minerals and vitamins, maintaining the level of glucose in the blood and producing about 80% of your cholesterol.

As you can see the liver, a very important organ is essential for life and death generally occurs within 24 hours if it stopped working, so by adopting a healthy lifestyle and eating good food for good health helps maintain an efficient function.

60% of you liver is made up of hepatic cells – the basic metabolic cells – and these specialised cells carry out more chemical processes than any other in your body, changing the nutrients from food you eat into forms your body’s cells can readily use.

The Kupffer cells are the second most important group of liver cells and remove damaged blood cells and destroy microbes and cell debris.

Blood is carried to the liver by two vessels – the hepatic artery carries oxygen rich blood from the aorta and the portal vein carries blood containing digested food from the small intestine. These blood vessels repeatedly subdivide in the liver and end up being small capillaries, each leading to a lobule. Thousands of lobules make up the liver tissue and each lobule is made up of hepatic cells.

To support your liver and enable proper detoxification we all need to eat a healthy diet of good food including fresh fruit and vegetables, nuts, seeds and a healthy intake of protein.

Liver complaints are higher now than ever before due to the lifestyle many have adopted. Fast foods that are high in saturated fats are too readily available, and eaten on a regular basis can cause problems.

Alcohol consumed in large amounts can lead to damage and suppress immunity through stressing the process of detoxification. Bingeing and heavy alcohol consumption can lead to cirrhosis of the liver, today cases are continuing to rise and it is especially worrying in the female population, with numbers spiralling up over the past five years

Consuming too much iron in your diet – mostly through high intake of supplements – this has been shown to be prominent in body builders, is stored in the liver making it much harder to work and increases risk of iron toxicity.

So remember we have to look after the whole body and feed it nutritionally, all our organs are essential for a healthy working body, and the healthier we are on the inside shows on the outside.

Glossy hair and great skin comes from eating a balanced varied diet of good food for good health and keeps our immune system and all our body working at its potential. When we look great we feel great.

So next time you go grocery shopping why not try adding a few different healthy foods you would not normally buy, to keep meal times tasty and exciting especially for children.

Look after yourself so you can look after others

Microsoft Certifications – Why Are They Important to Computer Professionals?

There are variety of reasons why Microsoft certifications are important to computer professionals. Computer professional employers need to hire competent employees for IT solutions. And ,those computer professionals who have certifications and are looking for employment are more easily employable.

Besides, the numbers don’t lie — 75% of managers believe that certifications are important for team performance, and 66% of managers believe that certifications improve the level of service and support offered to IT users and customers.

The fact is that getting certified by Microsoft is no walk in the park. They require rigorous exams to be passed before certification is granted. This means that the person who is certified in that area has demonstrated at one time a remarkable expertise in that type of technology.

This will appeal to computer professionals in all types of businesses. For example, there are certifications as they relate to satisfying customer needs, to reducing the downtime of a network and making the network run more efficiently, as well as certification related to services that will take your company to a higher level.

Those who possess Microsoft certifications have been shown to improve the deployment of projects within an organization. This means that with a Microsoft certified professional you have a better chance of delivering a project on time and also delivering it within your budget.

Also, there is no denying that unplanned support can eat up all of your human and information resources. Independent research has validated the fact that those who are certified in specific Microsoft technologies decrease the chance that unplanned support will be needed, as well as cut back on downtime related to technology.

Another often overlooked reason computer professionals find it important to get certified by Microsoft because it is a great tool to use to get projects outsourced. When a vendor has outsourced a project, they want to outsource it to an expert. Having the correct certification is a great way of proving expertise.

In any case, those who have been certified in different Microsoft technologies will enjoy competitive advantage over others in their fields, because their skill levels will be more advanced, both as they relate to technical skills as well as professional skills.

In conclusion, I have demonstrated to you why employers and computer professionals place Microsoft certifications in high regard.

The Human Skeletal System – Interesting Facts About Our Skeletal System

The problem is most of us are not curiosity seekers when it comes to the human body, particularly the skeletal system. Probably the total knowledge of what the average persons knows about this system, could be written in one paragraph.

Now switching over to another topic just for a moment, let me talk about curiosity. We are nosy creatures by habit, and thrive on learning interesting things. It doesn’t matter on what topic for the most part, if has something to do with us either direct or indirectly, then we want to here it. Only however if it simple to understand.

Now back to the skeletal system. This is definitely all about us, in fact it is us. Its not up to someone else to look after what belongs to us. The human anatomy is really not nearly as complex as we make it out to be. That statement only holds true for those that are not doing an in-depth study of the body. In those cases, yes it is complex, but not beyond understanding. Its just a matter of how much knowledge is necessary for the purpose we need it for. So in the case of the individual that wants to go into the medical profession, he needs a lot more knowledge than the average person who just want to take care of what he owns. Namely our body.

So not only are we going to talk about some interesting facts about your bones, we are going to learn some things that are important to our everyday living. Do you know that you have been losing things from your skeletal system over the years?

When you were born you had about 350 brand new bones. Now if you could peek inside yourself you’d count around 206 or so. That’s 90 less then what you started with. You know darn well you haven’t had any surgery that removed 90 of your bones, and you also know that you were born perfectly healthy. This truly is a mystery, and now you’re curious. Well actually it really isn’t all that much of a mystery. Many of our bones simply fuse together throughout out lifespan. Part of the reason this happens is so those bones fusing together, can perform the functions we need as adults, which we didn’t require as children.

Here is another point that may be of interest. Most of us reach our peak bone density or strength around the age of 20. So the adage that its “all down hill after 40″ is misleading. Now don’t let this thought depress you, and lead you to think that now that you’re past twenty that you are past the prime of you life. It simply means that you need to ensure you are taking care of your body. particularly your skeletal system right from that age on. Not waiting till you reach 40 before you start thinking about what’s good for your bones.

Lets cover one more interesting fact. There are so many to choose from its hard to decide which to share with you. How about those starvation diets that many of us have tried at some point in our life. We figure whatever damage they could cause is temporary right? Not so. you are damaging your bones because they are not being nourished properly. Who knows what lasting effects this could have.

So a little bit of basic knowledge about the body can mean a lot of good health through the years. You have to admit that some of the facts we covered here were quite interesting and did raise your curiosity.
