⚡Producing and Using Energy

Health depends largely on the organism's ability to produce and use energy. The metabolic capacity to produce energy typically declines with age. Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) - a form of vitamin B3 - could compensate for the loss of cellular energy production. In a mouse model, the benefits of NMN supplementation were observed exclusively in older mice. These mice showed a higher level of physical activity, better insulin sensitivity, less weight gain, as well as better vital functions at the level of immunity, liver, eyes, skeletal muscles, and better bone density. NMN would also have the effect of reducing oxidative stress and vascular dysfunctions linked to aging. Humans are certainly not mice. However, the metabolic processes of homo sapiens sapiens are similar in several respects to other mammals, which is why the mouse model is used to test a hypothesis before moving to the human model. I haven't said so, but I predict that soon someone will be saying that broccoli, cucumbers, avocado, cabbage and edamame beans are really good for health.

Beneficial during breastfeeding

Monounsaturated fats

⛽ Vitamins E/B/F/Lutein

Potassium/Copper/Lecithin

➡️

Cabbage

Sweet/acrid, warm nature, slightly pungent raw

Tonifies Lung, Stomach, Large Intestine: lubricating

Cucumber

Sweet ❄️ Cooling nature

Nourishes Bladder, Spleen-Pancreas, Large Intestine, Lung

Tiberius

Antiparasitic

Relieves edema

Anti-inflammatory

☠️ Clears toxic heat

Relieves thirst and diuretic

Cleanses the blood and purifies the skin

⛽ Silicon: helps absorb calcium and reduce cholesterol/Erepsine enzyme: digests proteins and eliminates intestinal worms

Cucumbers are usually cooked in Asia. It is said that the Roman Emperor Tiberius loved cucumbers so much that he had them grown on wheeled carts so his slaves could move them throughout the day to expose them to maximum sunlight.

⚠️ Avoid in cases of diarrhea or liquid mucosities

➡️

Broccoli

Benefits the immune system i.e. through sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol

Antiviral and Antimicrobial

Antifungal

Anticancer

⛽ Vitamins C/A/K/E/Calcium/Selenium/Sulfur/Iron

Steam cook. Do not overcook but avoid eating raw

⚠️ Avoid in cases of hypothyroidism

➡️
