Fat Cells Play Key Role in Development of Type 2 Diabetes

Cellular changes in fat tissue, not the immune system, lead to the "hyper-inflammation" characteristic of obesity-related glucose
intolerance and type 2 diabetes, according to new research from
the University of Cincinnati (UC).

Cancer and cell biology experts say this new discovery about the cellular mechanisms behind glucose intolerance may provide a
different target for drugs to treat type 2 diabetes as well as insights
into how aggressive cancers form.

The study is reported in the July 7, 2010, issue of the scientific
journal Cell Metabolism.

For this study, the research team looked at the role of a specific
gene known as protein kinase C (PKC)-zeta, which has been
implicated as a key cellular contributor to malignant tumor growth.
Using a preclinical animal model, they found that PKC-zeta had
a dual role in the molecular signaling that leads to inflammation,
switching from acting as a regulator of inflammation to a proinflammation agent in different circumstances.

"This finding is quite novel because current drug development
efforts target immune cells (macrophages, T-cells) to eliminate this hyperinflammation. Our research suggests obesity-related glucose intolerance has nothing to do with the immune system. It may be
more effective to target adipocytes (fat cells)," explained the investigators from the University of Cincinnati's cancer and cell
biology department.

In normal cells, they explain, PKC-zeta regulates the balance
between cellular inflammatory responses to maintain glucose
control. During obesity-induced inflammation, however, the function
of PKC-zeta changes and the molecule begins to promote
inflammation by causing adipocytes to secrete a substance (IL-6)
that travels in large quantities to the liver to cause insulin resistance."We believe a similar mechanism of action is at play
in malignant tumor development.

Now we are trying to understand how PKC-zeta regulates IL6 to
better determine how we can manipulate the protein to help prevent diabetes and cancer," they add.

This University of Cincinnati team is working with investigators at
UC's Drug Discovery Center to screen compounds that will inhibit PKC-zeta to be used in further research.

Funding for this research was provided by grants from the National Institutes of Health, American Diabetes Association, UMass Diabetes Endocrinology Research Center and Marie Curie Foundation.
Scientists from the University of Massachussetts also participated
in the study.

Decaf Coffee Side Effects

It is a well known fact that caffeine is the most widely consumed drug all around the world. If you are a coffee addict and are thinking of switching to decaffeinated coffee, it won't be of much help. Apart from caffeine, there are a significant number of chemical compounds found in coffee, which have stronger effects on the body. Components like caffeol, diterpenes and chlorogenic acid, are a few of the common active constituents present in coffee. There are already a number of health disorders that are a result of regular caffeine consumption, but even if it is decaffeinated, a small amount of the active constituents still remain. The amount of these remaining constituents in the decaffeinated coffee, are more than enough to cause serious health issues. Thus, despite the lower levels of caffeine, there is a fair amount of other phytochemicals, which are present even after the decaf process. Find out, what are the decaf coffee side effects from the content mentioned below.

Side Effects of Decaf Coffee

Even though the product cover may say that the coffee has gone through the decaf process and is free from all the constituents which lead to various health problems, the risks still remain. No company, ensures, 100% removal of harmful chemicals from coffee and thus, even if you have decaf coffee, it is not completely decaf. There are many decaf coffee side effects which are observed after regular consumption of decaf coffee and a few of them are mentioned in the following paragraphs, so take a look.

Acidity

* It is scientifically proved, that coffee is highly acidic in nature and it stimulates the gastric acids to hyper-secrete.
* However, decaf coffee has been shown to increase the acidity in the body to a much larger extent. This is because, many a times, decaffeinated coffee process is carried out from Robusta beans, which is a type of coffee bean.
* This acidity leads to, ulcers, acid reflux and can lead to a bigger risk of heartburns than any other fluids. This can be one of the grave effects of decaf coffee. Also, find out what are some of the side effects of caffeine.

Heart Problems

* Decaf coffee also raises the risk of heart attacks, despite of lower levels of caffeine in the coffee.
* It is said that drinking decaf coffee, increases the non-essential fatty acids in the blood by about 15% and drives the production of LDL cholesterol. It also raises 8% of the apolipoprotein B, which is a protein associated with cholesterol linked to cardiovascular diseases.
* When the levels of LDL in the blood increase, there is a bigger chance of heart attacks and cardiovascular arrests. This is definitely one of the fatal decaf coffee side effects, which acts as a slow poison to many caffeine addicts. More on caffeine and blood pressure.
* The Robusta beans which are used to make decaf coffee, have a higher content of diterpenes. These stimulate the production of fatty acids in the body and thus, increase the cholesterol deposition around the heart.

Osteoporosis

* According to current research, when you consume a regular coffee drink, there is a loss of almost 5 milligrams of calcium. This can lead to weak bones and development of osteoporosis, which is one of the most severe decaf coffee side effects.
* Hence, if you have a regular cup of coffee, there can be 300 to 400 mg of caffeine consumed daily, that can double the risk of a hip fracture.
* Osteoporosis can also occur due to low bone density, which is a result of these chemicals present in decaf coffee.
* The high amounts of acidity, increase the risk of developing osteoporosis. Some other decaf coffee side effects are Glaucoma, rheumatoid arthritis, organ damage and cancer.

Polyphenols in Red Wine And Green Tea Halt Prostate Cancer Growth

In what could lead to a major advance in the
treatment of prostate cancer, scientists now
know exactly why polyphenols in red wine
and green tea inhibit cancer growth.
This new discovery, published online in The

FASEB Journal (Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology - Stanford University Libraries), explains how antioxidants in red wine and
green tea produce a combined effect to disrupt an important cell signaling pathway necessary for prostate cancer growth.

This finding is important because it may lead to the development of drugs that
could stop or slow cancer progression, or improve current treatments.

"Not only does SphK1/S1P signaling pathway play a role in prostate

cancer, but it also plays a role in other cancers, such as colon cancer,

breast cancer, and gastric cancers," reported The FASEB Journal.
"Even if future studies show that drinking red wine and green tea isn't

as effective in humans as we hope, knowing that the compounds in

those drinks disrupts this pathway is an important step toward

developing drugs that hit the same target."

Scientists conducted in vitro experiments which showed that the

inhibition of the sphingosine kinase- 1/sphingosine 1-phosphate

(SphK1/S1P) pathway was essential for green tea and wine

polyphenols to kill prostate cancer cells. Next, laboratory subjects genetically altered to develop a human prostate cancer tumor were either treated or not treated with green tea and wine polyphenols.

The treated laboratory subjects showed reduced tumor growth as a result of the inhibited SphK1/S1P pathway. To mimic the preventive effects of polyphenols, another experiment used three groups of laboratory subjects given drinking water, drinking water with a green
tea compound known as EGCg, or drinking water with a different
green tea compound, polyphenon E. Human prostate cancer cells
were implanted in the laboratory subjects and results showed a

dramatic decrease in tumor size in the mice drinking the EGCg

or polyphenon E mixtures.

"The profound impact that the antioxidants in red wine and green tea

have on our bodies is more than anyone would have considered just
25 years ago," the researchers added. "As long as they are taken in

moderation, all signs show that red wine and green tea may be

ranked among the most potent 'health foods' we know.

You Can Feel Great and Loose Weight with Healthy Carbohydrates (Part 1)

I have to ask a question. What can I do to bring value to you and yours over this New Yearand Holiday Season? Yearsofpractice have taught me that many people make NewYear's resolutions with the mindset that with a new year, they should set start new goals for things they didn’t accomplish the previous year. Much of the time, these “resolutions” are around weight loss, dieting, or just simply resolving to eat healthier. But then, what is “healthier?”

Generally, eating “healthier” is about making “better choices” and I’ve learned that one of the best ways that I can help patients or audiences to make better choices is to describe and define how to select a healthy carbohydrate. You’ll find that knowing what makes a carbohydrate choice “good” or “bad” will go a long way to provide boundless energy throughout your day – as well as help you to rapidly loose inches from your stomach, waist and thighs.

Here’s the key: All carbohydrates are NOT created equal. Some are far better at fueling the brain and body than others. Said another way – some will make you fat and slow – some will make you smart and fast. Most people want to know which is which.

The problem is nutritional information made available to consumers doesn’t make a distinction between the carbohydrates found in plant foods like apples, spinach, or berries and those found in sodas, candy, or refined sugar. “Nutrition Facts” panels on food labels handle these carbohydrates as if they’re the same. They aren’t. Plant foods are made up primarily of carbohydrates, but they are slow-releasing carbohydrates, also known as complex carbohydrates. And your brain and body much prefer the steady source of fuel that these complex carbohydrates provide – although your taste buds may seem to yearn for the ones found in candy and sodas.
Slow-Releasing vs. Fast-Releasing Carbohydrates
Slow-releasing carbohydrates are also called complex carbohydrates, because their structure is bound to other complexes: other carbohydrates, nutrients, minerals, and fibers. Your digestive system has to dismantle these complex molecules to access the energy they contain, which is quite a bit of work. The end result is that complex carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars (like glucose) by enzymes and acids and released into the bloodstream steadily and very gradually. Unprocessed plant foods like berries, most fruits, nuts, vegetables, seeds and whole grains are all sources of slow-releasing complex carbohydrates.

Fast-releasing carbohydrates are also called simple carbohydrates. Their structure is simple because they are mechanically and/or chemically broken down into a concentrated, simple state by food processing – a sort of industrial pre-digestion. These processed or simple carbohydrates cheat nature by extracting the sweetness while discarding the rest. You can’t cheat “mother nature” without consequences – and the super-sweet – super-harmful effects of refined sugar and refined flour are no exception to this rule. When we concentrate sugars and discard naturally occurring fiber and nutrients that would slow their digestion; we end up with white sugar and flour, white bread, and other foods made with white flour like cereals. All of these are fast-releasing, simple carbohydrates – man-made foods that are quite unlike “complex” carbohydrates.

Because of the refining and milling processes, little work is required for these pre-digested carbohydrates to be broken down by the digestive system. This causes them to be released very quickly into the bloodstream. The key concept here is this: consuming fast-releasing simple-carbohydrates causes a rapid increase in blood sugar levels that wreaks havoc throughout the brain, body and packs on the pounds.

Let’s take a look at a real-world example to see how and why this happens.

Sweet – But Not So Innocent
Let’s say you decide to indulge in a little refined-carbohydrate treat: an innocent-looking sugar doughnut. This sounds relatively harmless – certainly, it’s something many people do every day. However: as your taste buds are dancing in sheer ecstasy, your body jumps into a silent state of alarm. How does this come about?

Pure sugar and refined flower dissolve fast and complete in the stomach. In your digestive system, that doughnut is an influx of super-concentrated, fast-releasing simple carbohydrates that dissolve and absorb into the bloodstream at an alarmingly quick – and completely unnatural rate.

Within minutes of your last powdery bite, an influx of sugar spills into the blood and is carried to the brain – and excess sugar coming in all at once is extremely dangerous to the brain. These elevated levels of sugar in the blood and brain signal the pancreas to produce a surge of insulin – a hormone that brings blood sugars down by pushing them into cells to be converted and stored as either fat or glycogen. As insulin rises, your blood level of a hormone called glucagon then falls – and if your goal was weight loss then glucagon was quite a friend. Glucagon has an opposing or opposite effect to insulin – it promotes the breakdown of stored fat and carbohydrate for energy. Something you want to do to loose weight.

These chemical changes then cause a cascade of events that further stresses your metabolism. For example, the surge of insulin pulls the sugars out of the bloodstream so abruptly that blood sugar drops. You then have hypoglycemia – low blood sugar. Low blood sugar then re-stimulates your appetite. “But I just ate!” you think to yourself as your body starts to call for more food. In the end, refined-carbohydrates perpetuate a vicious cycle of being hungry, eating, and shortly thereafter being hungry again.

This roller coaster of too much glucose followed by reactive hypoglycemia is characterized by all-too-common symptoms: fatigue, mental confusion, mood swings, irritability, depression, headaches, and even aggressive behavior.

“All this just from a little refined sugar?” you ask. Absolutely…and insulin and glucagon are just the beginning of the story.

The Battle Rages On: Sugar and Stress
Let’s add one more element to your understanding of the perils of that sugar doughnut. It turns out that your body responds internally to the glucose/insulin surge in a way that can be described as aggressive. The shock of excess sugar hitting the bloodstream all at once causes another systemic and powerful reaction that you need to know about – because it can pack on the pounds!

The body is built to see extreme fluctuations in blood sugar as dangerous. When you send blood sugar soaring and then crashing with simple-carbohydrates, a message that something is amiss with blood sugar reaches the adrenal glands. The adrenals perceive blood sugar highs and lows as a threat or an alarm signaling something is wrong. In an effort to protect the brain from the red-alert situation, the adrenals release stress hormones like: adrenaline, epinephrine, and cortisol.

Now here’s where this saga is going – chronic and excessive amounts of the hormone cortisol in turn triggers cravings for both high-fat and sugary foods. What’s most troubling, though, is this negative feedback loop doesn’t just pack on pounds – it packs on pounds in the worst of places – primarily your belly, but also your hips and thighs.

Is your Coffee Making you Sick?

Coffee is so popular you’d think it must be the right thing to drink. But there are many health drawbacks to the normal coffee. It may be your morning pick-me-up and your midday pick-me-up, but normal coffee can be a real put-down for your health.

Obviously not everyone feels that way. After all, coffee is the most popular drink worldwide with 1.4 billion cups consumed every day. Four out of five Americans drink it, consuming more than 400 million cups a day. In Canada it is the most popular hot beverage.

But the list of health problems associated with coffee is a real wake-up call itself.

Some of the problems that the caffeine in coffee causes are preventable and in fact urgent to prevent. For example, caffeine increases your heart rate, elevates your blood pressure, and can contribute to the development of heart disease.

Anxiety and irritability are also associated with too much caffeine intake.

The high acid content of most coffees can lead to gastrointestinal problems because coffee increases the secretion of hydrochloric acid leading to an increased risk for ulcers. Coffee, including decaf, reduces the pressure on the valve between the oesophagus and the stomach so that the highly acidic contents of the stomach pass up to the esophagus leading to heartburn and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. With America ’s high consumption of coffee, its no wonder the best selling over-the-counter drugs are the so-called antacids.

Besides its direct effect on the human body, there is also the issue of the use of chemicals and pesticides on the coffee beans (as well as on other food crops). Pesticides and chemicals used in agriculture contain a myriad of chemicals – most of which are have not been studied thoroughly enough to understand or contemplate their long-term effects on the human body.

So, am I telling you to give up coffee? NOT exactly. Rather, I want you to know that there is an alternative to the normal coffee, the normal coffee that plays such a part in your decreasing health, even as it purports to elevate your mood and energy.

The alternative I’m talking about is a real coffee (not a coffee substitute) It’s a coffee that actually helps to remove toxins from your body, and with every cup you drink, you can feel better and realize increasing health benefits.

And, in fact, this particular coffee tastes good.

This new healthy coffee has been known to increase oxygen to your brain, help balance your weight, and boost your overall health. The secret ingredient is an extract from the Reishi mushroom known as Ganoderma Lucidum. Its literal root is the term Reishie Senshi, of ancient Asian origin, meaning, “goodness of health, life and eternal youth.”

This healthy coffee will help remove toxins from your body and boost your immune system. With every cup that you drink you can feel revived, rejuvenated and experience increased health benefits.

As for taste, this coffee is delicious. In fact, not only health reasons, but pure and simple taste is one reason that many people are switching to Ganoderma Coffee.

Health issues, however, are a very important reason that more and more people are switching to Ganoderma. Its essential ingredient, Reishi mushrooms, has been used as an immune stimulant for both HIV or cancer patients and has even been found to improve immune response in advance-stage cancer victims. These mushrooms have also been used to help the healing of lungs for people with asthma and lung disorders. The ancient Asian civilizations began using Reishi mushrooms centuries ago and still used today for hypertension, liver disorders and arthritis.

As it’s low in caffeine, it won’t have negative affect on sleep patterns either.

So, it seems that coffee connoisseurs, or just the normal everyday drinker like me, can have a real coffee (not a substitute) that can help improve our lifestyle and health.

Just imagine a coffee that can boost your immune system, increase your circulation and just makes you feel better. I’ve found that since switching to Ganoderma healthy coffee, I can have as much or more enjoyment of my daily cups of coffee, and have no more worries about negative physical or psychological effects.

Now that’s something to drink to! For more information on Healthy Coffee, visit my website and learn more about this amazing ganoderma enriched coffee choice.

Ok Just What is Ganoderma Lucidum, or Lingshi, Reishi mushroom?

What is Ganoderma Lucidum, also known as Lingshi or Reishi is a type of mushroom that has been used for thousands of years throughout Asia, for its beneficial effects on our ability to maintain and or improve your health. The Ganoderma Mushroom is well known for its ability to aid the body to detoxify and rid itself potential disease. Consequently ganoderma Lucidum is commonly referred to as the "The King of Herbs" Other Common Names: Ling chih, Ling zhi, Mannentake, Ganoderma Lucidum

Ganoderma can assist the body to maintain or improve overall wellbeing. Ganoderma Lucidum, also known as Lingshi or Reishi is a type of mushroom that has been used for thousands of years throughout Asia, and well known for its ability to maintain and or "Improve your Health" The Ganoderma Mushroom is well known for its ability to aid the body to detoxify and potentially rid itself of disease. Consequently ganoderma Lucidum is commonly referred to as the "The King of Herbs".
What Does Ganoderma look like?
Ganoderma Lucidum in its various incarnations belongs to a large group of fungi called polypores. Distinguishing this group are the tubes on the underside of the fruiting body, in which spores are produced. Each tube ends in a tiny "mouth" called
a pore, and a fruiting body includes many hundreds or thousands of pores that discharge countless brown spores. Polypores are a diverse group and are also known by several common names such as shelf fungi, bracket fungi and conks.

Where can it be found and can you grow it?
Ganoderma Lucidum can grow in several surroundings but, in the wild, seems to prefer hardwood deciduous trees such as maple and oak. This can be a problem for foresters, as these fungi will rot valuable trees. Fortunately for those who seek to gather large quantities of these fungi for medicinal purposes, Ganoderma Lucidum can be cultivated and is now being grown commercially with great success on plantations in Malaysia and Indonesia. In fact, an entire field of study called mycology is devoted almost exclusively to the research, development, farming and harvesting of mushrooms - with the Ganoderma Lucidum, leading the way in terms of both commercial variety and therapeutic potential.


How does it really work?
According to virtually hundreds of scientific studies and laboratory reports, Ganoderma Lucidum can be used in virtually hundreds of ways. And according to a number of studies, it has become noted for its antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral and antipruritic qualities. It apparently also helps balance blood sugar, regulate blood pressure, enhance the human immune system, balance kidneys and help detoxify the liver. In fact, its antioxidant qualities are (it has more than 150) are the very things that seem to set it apart from any other mushroom, herb, or food.

Looking forward...
Research continues, but many Chinese and scientists in the Pacific Rim already use preparations of Ganoderma Lucidum on a daily basis to promote good health. Ganoderma Lucidum has been officially listed as a treatment for cancer in Japan. The medicinal properties of Ganoderma Lucidum are gaining popularity in the United States.
The Benefits And Why Should You be Interested In It?

The Benefits of Ganoderma Lucidum: The main effect of Ganoderma is on promoting general good health and vitality. It also has a harmonising effect on the body and helps maintain body balance. Concord Sunchih is aimed to work on body but not on the disease. By promoting your natural immune system which helps in balancing the body and in turn treats itself for a wide range of health problems.

Maintains and improves general Well-being.

Ganoderma lucidum is the scientific name for a species of red mushroom that has been cultivated on plantations and grown wild in Asia for thousands of years. Ganoderma contains more than 200 active elements that are known to improve health. Here are a few that modern science is currently focusing on:

Polysaccharides
• Strengthen the body’s immune system
• Balance blood sugar level and improves pancreatic functions
• Protect against degeneration of skin cells and eliminates dead surface cells which improves skin texture and reduces the appearance of
aging
• Controls destruction of healthy cells throughout the body
• Eliminates accumulated toxins

Organic Germanium
• Increases oxygen in the blood system
• Reduces fatigue and increases vitality
• Strengthens the immune system
• Increases the metabolism
• Contains an abundance of anti-oxidants that control or inhibit damaging free radicals. Free radicals are a major cause of cell degeneration,
cancer and aging.
• Assists our body’s natural ability to fight cancer cells

Adenosine
• Reduces cholesterol and body fat
• Helps to unclog arteries plugged with fatty deposits, and supports liver function
• Balances the metabolic rate and boosts energy
• Prevents fragmentation of platelets which can cause blockages in the circulatory system

Triterpenoid
• Fortifies and improves the digestive system
• Inhibits allergies, relieves sinus congestion, and helps with respiratory problems
• Reduces cholesterol and fat

Ganoderic Essence
• Rejuvenates the body’s tissues and cells
• Boosts all the body’s functions
• Helps to maintain youthfulness and contributes to improved vitality
• Overcomes skin disorders and beautifies the skin
• Is effective for relieving external problems such as scrapes, skin wounds, psoriasis, bug bites, stings, sunburn, mouth ulcers, and external
bleeding.

Research has demonstrated that Ganoderma Lucidum has several different active constituents. One group of active constituents is the polysaccharides. The various types of polysaccharides found in Ganoderma Lucidum have demonstrated immune-enhancing properties. This includes enhancement of several important interleukins. Another major class of compounds is the triterpenes. These compounds have been reported to have adaptogenic, anti-hypertensive, and anti-allergy effects.

Cardiovascular Benefits
Ganoderma Lucidum has been shown in some studies to inhibit platelet aggregation and reduce blood pressure. In studies of people with hypertension, researchers found blood pressure was significantly reduced over two-weeks' time with reishi supplementation.

Immune Benefits
Ganoderma Lucidum is commonly prescribed by practitioners for long-term immune system support. In studies involving patients with advanced tumors, the patients were given Ganoderma Lucidum for thirty days. Researchers found a marked immune-modulating effect as demonstrated by an increase in T lymphocytes and decreased CD8 counts. Patients also reported reduced side effects due to chemotherapy or radiation as well as postoperation recovery.

Blood Sugar Balance
Studies have shown Ganoderma Lucidum to have a blood sugar lowering effect. Much of this activity appears to be due to polysaccharides known as Ganoderans A, B, and C.

It appears there are three main mechanisms behind this hypoglycemic effect. This includes Ganoderma Lucidum's ability to elevate plasma insulin levels, to enhance peripheral tissue utilization of glucose, and to enhance liver metabolism of glucose.

Anti-inflammatory Effects
Studies have shown that hot-water extracts of Ganoderma Lucidum have anti-inflammatory effects. One study found that 50 milligrams of reishi powder had comparable effects to 5 milligrams of hydrocortisone.

Liver Protector
Ganoderma Lucidum is commonly used for its hepatoprotective (liver protective) action. One study of patients with hepatitis B and elevated liver enzymes (SGOT/SGPT) and bilirubin were given reishi for three months. Significant reduction in SGOT and SGPT were noticed within one month. After three months all values were within normal range.

Oxygenation
One of the unique uses of Ganoderma Lucidum is for altitude sickness. Reishi appears to reduce altitude sickness by oxygenating the blood. This benefit was studied in Asian mountain climbers that ascended mountains as high as 17,000 feet with minimal reaction.

Now you can enjoy the benefits of healthy coffee and other healthy beverages that has been enriched with ganoderma lucidum. For thousands of years, Ganoderma Lucidum has been highly regarded by the Chinese as the "Miraculous King of Herbs." Finally you, too, can benefit from the miracle of ganoderma. You do not have to take pills, supplements, or potions every day to receive important nutrients. You don’t have to make extreme lifestyle changes to improve your health.

Enjoy Ganoderma

The Facts: Why Switching To Ganoderma Coffee Makes Sense

Ganoderma, or Red Reishi, Coffee might help to improve your health. Its biggest medical benefit is the way it strengthens your immune system. It can be considered a preventative medicine instead of a treatment for a certain disease.

Switching from your regular caffeinated coffee to Ganoderma makes sense due to its ability to improve the function of the immune system. It is said to help the body adapt to many types of body stresses such as trauma, sleep deprivation, temperature, exposure to toxins, psychological stress, infection, or radiation. It helps the organisms in the body return to a normal, balanced state after illness.

Red Reishi or Ganoderma coffee, acts as regulator that fine-tunes our immune systems. Its main purpose is to detect pathogens such as bacteria and other viruses that attack the body.

A compromised immune system can develop viruses, parasites, bacteria and fungi that cause disease. Repeated use of common antibiotics, anti-viral agents, and anti-fungal medications can cause microbes to develop a resistance to the medications. Consuming red Reishi can eliminate these problems and is gaining popularity among many as an adjunct to combating the disagreeable side effects of radiation and chemotherapy associated with cancer treatment.

Red Reishi has exceptional anti-stress qualities that can help improve memory, reduce tension and sharpen your concentration. It is particularly helpful in the treatment of degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimers and dementia that affects the elderly.

Ganoderma or Reishi has been around for many centuries. Originally consumed by emperors and royalty as the a miracle herb, many westerners have overlooked it until recently.

Some of the many health benefits of Ganoderma are its antioxidant effects on the body, the positive effects on circulatory system and respiratory tract. It has been shown to lower high blood pressure, balance cholesterol levels and reduce the symptoms of bronchitis, asthma and other lung problems.

Scientist have studied Ganoderma use as a treatment for cancer, insomnia, arthritis, and many other diseases.

Used for years in Japan and China as a licensed medical treatment, Reishi is often used for its calming and sedative effects. Research among United States, UK, China and Japan prove the unparalleled benefits of this miracle mushroom when used in healing and holist health.

So what exactly is Ganoderma? Ganoderma Lucidum is the scientific name for a species of red mushroom cultivated and grown wild in Asia for thousands of years. The reishi mushroom has been expensive and hard to find in large quantities until recently. The Reishi mushroom only grows on one specific tree in Asia. Scientist are now cultivating the mushroom indoors. This mushroom has more than 200 active elements known to improve health.

Some other benefits of using or drinking Ganoderma coffee are:

1. Balances blood sugar levels and pancreatic functions.
2. Protects against skin cell degeneration, improving skins texture and reducing appearance of aging
3. Eliminates toxins accumulated in the body
4. Increases metabolism
5. Reduces fatigue
6. Contains anti-oxidants that inhibit damaging free radicals
7. Helps unclog arteries and supports liver function
8. Boosts energy
9. Improves the digestive system
10. Relieves sinus congestion and other respiratory problems
11. Rejuvenates body tissues and cells
12. Boost all body functions
13. Beautifies the skin by improving vitality
14. Effectively aids in the healing of skin wounds, scrapes, psoriasis, mouth ulcers, external bleeding, bug bits and stings.

Consuming Ganoderma coffee can help your body heal back to a balanced state while rejuvenating your skins youthful appearance. And there are no known side effects! No wonder the Chinese have regarded it for hundreds of years as the miracle herb!
