What is natural collagen?

What is natural collagen?

Collagen is a naturally occurring substance in the human body. Collagen is a biologically active protein that is the main component of connective tissue. It accounts for about 30% of all proteins found in the human body. The purpose of natural collagen is to bind together the building cells of the skin, bones, teeth, tendons, cartilage, blood vessels and even the cornea of the eye. The described protein has characteristic features such as incredible flexibility and strength. Collagen also protects internal organs such as the liver, stomach and kidneys by creating a natural protective layer around them. The role of protein in the immune system is to prevent the interference of microorganisms and toxins.

Do you know that …

Natural collagen has a lot of beneficial properties for our body, and the list of its beneficial functions is constantly growing. We already know what natural collagen is and what features it has, now it’s time for specific examples related to the protein of youth. Why did women love collagen? Natural protein supports the process of reducing wrinkles on the face, perfectly smoothes those under the eyes, while eliminating bags. It also smoothes the skin of the neck, while improving its pigmentation. It creates a water-retaining layer on the surface of the dermis, eliminates stretch marks, and also lifts sagging skin, and thus regenerates it and restores its elasticity. It makes the epidermis more flexible and soft, slows down the aging process of the skin, firms and moisturizes, helps in the fight against rosacea and adolescent acne.

In addition, it corrects skin defects, thus stimulating the production of natural collagen. It eliminates skin discoloration, smoothes scars, soothes inflammatory skin changes, improves venous and arterial circulation, eliminates: cellulite, the effects of abrasions, bruises, burns, prevents stretch marks, dilatation of capillaries (so-called spider veins). Firms the bust, accelerates rehabilitation after fractures, injuries and childbirth. It removes the effects of insect bites, corns, and is also a prophylaxis for “melanoma” type cancer, stops the process of alopecia areata, and provides relief from periodontitis. It helps with frostbite, regenerates the mucosa, eliminates trophic changes. It soothes bone, joint and rheumatic pains, affects the supplementation of the bone matrix, removes varicose veins, regenerates and strengthens the hair.

Natural collagen is a precious substance that our body begins to lack over time. Protein of youth is produced on an ongoing basis, undergoing constant replacement only up to the age of 25. After this period, the production of natural collagen begins to slow down and stops completely after the age of 60. In order to slow down the skin aging process, it is necessary to supply youthful proteins from the outside. There are substances that stimulate the production of collagen, as well as those that provide amino acids and di-, tripeptides that build collagen. Products containing valuable protein are available in the form of tablets, creams, ointments, gels and in the form of drinking. There are also many collagen-enriched products on the market, but the addition will not replace the missing deficiencies.

Opinions about natural collagen

The beneficial effects on the skin after introducing natural collagen into the diet are confirmed by the opinions of consumers. A noticeable difference in skin hydration is felt after the first use. Consumers of natural collagen, after prolonged use, mention all the valuable properties presented above in their opinions. The effect of natural collagen is also confirmed by the opinions of doctors who have been boldly using durable protein in aesthetic medicine treatments for several years.

Natural vitamin C or ascorbic acid?

Natural vitamin C or ascorbic acid?

Natural vitamin C or ascorbic acid?

Vitamin C is one of the most popular vitamins. The universal use of it and the generally prevailing belief that its appropriate dose can protect us from numerous diseases make it a permanent fixture in home first-aid kits of most Polish families. There is a lot of truth to this belief: vitamin C helps to deal with colds faster by stimulating our immune system. The most important thing, however, is to find natural vitamin C. Remember that what we buy in pharmacies is synthetic vitamin ascorbic acid, or L-ascorbic acid, and this vitamin C is not. In its natural form, vitamin C contains, among others rutin, bioflavonoids, tyrosinase or ascorbinogen. If any of these ingredients is missing, the effect, and therefore the activity of vitamin C, may be reduced. This is due to the fact that this vitamin takes place in the human body in a complex work process related to the supply of nutrients, enzymes, antioxidants, minerals and activators. For the whole process to be successful, a wholesome vitamin is required.

Do you know that …

Natural vitamin C is not only rich in all of the above-mentioned ingredients, but above all it is absorbed very quickly by the body, it is a nutrient necessary for the proper course of a whole range of organic functions. Vitamin C plays an extremely important role in the functioning of the human body. It takes part in the metabolism of tyrosine and the synthesis of adrenal steroids. It also influences the maintenance of the proper oxidative potential in cells.

Symptoms of vitamin C deficiency

Man does not produce vitamin C, therefore he must supply it with food or in the form of supplements. The symptoms of a deficiency of this vitamin include: weakness, fatigue, lack of appetite, tendency to bruise, loose and bleeding gums, difficulty in wound healing, pain in muscles and joints.

However, these are only part of the symptoms. In cases of significant deficiencies, it can even lead to scurvy, a disease that leaves considerable havoc in the human body, and in extreme cases even leads to death.

Remember, however, that in order to meet our daily requirement for natural vitamin C, it is not enough to eat one orange or drink a glass of juice. Due to the constantly decreasing content of vitamins and minerals in the fruit. That is why it is worth reaching for the appropriate supplements that will enable us to do this task. However, remember to choose those rich in natural vitamin C, and not a synthetic equivalent.

Only products that are natural fruit extracts, which are considered true “vitamin bombs”, can bring the expected results. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to those with acerola in their composition – this is a real treasury of wholesome vitamin C. One of its fruit contains as much vitamin C as a kilogram of lemons, which makes it one of the leading plants that make the skin elastic and prevent it from prematurely aging. It was this action that made vitamin C commonly also known as the “vitamin of youth”.

However, it is not only these fruits that contain levels of vitamin C. Another treasury of it are, for example, rosehip fruits, which additionally have a positive effect on the vitality of the whole organism, purify it and neutralize the contents in the digestive tract.

The undisputed winner in this regard, however, are CamuCamu berries, even called “superberry”. This plant is the undisputed record holder of the content of Vitamin C. Fresh Camu-Camu Berries contain 850-5000 mg of natural vitamin C in 100g, which is 2-3% of their weight.

Therefore, when deciding on supplementation, it is worth choosing products with only natural ingredients, because only such products are able to quickly replenish any deficiencies and guarantee us full absorption.

How to Start a Business with SoftMarketing™ DuoLife

How to Start a Business with SoftMarketing™ DuoLife

For some time now we have been observing dynamic changes in the #economy. Rapid technological and ICT system development etc., which not only facilitates work but also our daily life, has a huge influence on the present economy. The world is becoming more and more uniform – borders virtually ceased to exist and common currency, laws and regulations greatly simplify this process. Increasingly, the world is referred to as a Global Village. 

A relatively new concept of the New Economy can be associated with this. Companies reduce organizational structures and it is more and more difficult for employees to get a promotion. Experts point out that people will be changing their jobs every 4-5 years, and even their profession every 7 years on average. This is the reason why people started using a notion of a “McJob”. #business, #management, #marketing and economics are subject to rapid changes. 

In 2014, Robert D. Hof wrote for Business Week that “Everything we thought that we knew about business is in doubt” Economically, this situation is a great opportunity, but on the other hand, also a big challenge – the word “competition” takes on, in fact, a new meaning. The result is that experts are still looking for new, better solutions, which would allow each person to generate income, while endeavouring to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It is also important to find a way to make money that will give you a long-term security.

We have known solutions such as classic, corporate business, franchise or multi-level marketing for many years. They all have many advantages, but also disadvantages, which today seem to be even more nagging. SoftMarketing emerges from this new reality – a revolution in business thinking. It combines the best practices from all of these areas, while eliminating their weaknesses at the same time. SoftMarketing, referred to as the business of the 21st and even the 22nd century, is a response to the demands of a dynamically changing market. It is an alternative for business owners and employees.

It is often an opportunity for entrepreneurs to expand their business in the framework of the basic profile. For both the first and the other group it can be a source of additional or main stable income without compromising existing activities. In addition, it does not require the involvement of new human resources or excessive financial expenses.

The main points of SoftMarketing

BASING THE BUSINESS ON THE THREE PILLARS, WHICH ARE THE LARGEST WORLD TRENDS:

Pillar I is generating of income effectively – it is the system of remuneration taken from the model of multi-level marketing. It allows the project participants to earn commission from trade of goods, which is generated by the structures of the company’s employees. For the particularly ambitious and active participants there is a special program of promotions and an incentive program taken from corporate business. Its main advantages are :

  • the lack of restrictions on earnings

• the passive nature of the income earned, which is the income received over a long period of time, without the need of further self-contribution – a so-called rentier’s income.

• complete freedom in determining the schedule and the scope of work

Pillar II is relying on the industry which is one of the world’s leading trends.

Trends indicate the direction in which the world is developing. So that is where you should look for opportunities. Today #wellness and #wellbeing is recognized as one of the fastest growing trends.

Wellness is, above all, an understanding that health, good mental and physical fitness and slim figure depend only on us ourselves. Each of us wants to be healthy, happy, look good, feel good and have energy every day. That is why it is so important to be aware of taking care of the proper state of the body.

Today, we are increasingly aware of the dangers to our health, including the ever-decreasing mineral-rich vegetables and fruit, ubiquitous chemistry, poor eating habits, constant stress and sedentary lifestyle. All this factors result in the fact that the number of people affected by the civilization diseases is increasing steadily – already at a young age people are sick and they lack the desire to live.

Experts are reporting that if nothing changes, our children’s lives will be 5 years shorter than ours. In this situation, it is especially important to provide knowledge about the risks and possible solutions. It is also vital to inspire people to physical activity and to provide innovative products of the highest quality, which help in maintaining or even improving health. In order to meet such needs the DuoLife Company provides products developed with the use of the latest research in the field of biology and medicine. They support the overall psychomotorics of the body and they are the answer to specific diseases and ailments. 

Pillar III is #personaldevelopment – an effective system of building both business and self-consciousness. The key element here is a development program created by outstanding coaches, trainers and psychologists gathered around the Personal Excellence Network Company. It supports the DuoLife partners in their professional and personal life. It helps them to get from point “A” to point “B” as fast as possible, as well as set and achieve further ambitious goals.

A sense of development is every person’s need. However, the financial, professional and personal success is, to a large extent, subject to the possession of appropriate professional and interpersonal skills and the right way of thinking. Unfortunately many people show significant deficiencies, which prevent them from succeeding or achieving the success only temporarily. That is why, personal development is very important to both the activities of DuoLife and the concept of SoftMarketing. What is more, unlike most companies that organize single seminars, there is an advanced and complete development program.

TAILOR-MADE BUSINESS PROGRAMS.

Individual solutions are created thanks to the flexible approach to each business. They allow to combine the DuoLife opportunities with what is offered by virtually every company which is already functioning, thus increasing its capabilities and competitiveness

 GIVING SOCIAL VALUE.

In DuoLife, this assumption is realized by co-creating and supporting the campaign “”. Its purpose is to inspire people to have better, more conscious lives and to inspire them to take action in this direction. “Live Consciously” combines different environments, people and organisations, ranging from the national media, local authorities and scientific communities, to the famous and influential people. It includes conferences, lectures and workshops. We enable people to lead conscious and happy lives through supporting mental and physical health – personal development as well as the skills to take care of your finances. 

COMMUNICATION WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD

Nowadays it is not enough to have a good product to achieve success in business. It is necessary to give a wider range of values and to have the ability to speak about this. That is why, the DuoLife Company conducts intensive activities in media and they promote both the products and the values standing behind them.

HOW DOES IT WORK? 

  • wellness industry records an annual increase of about 30%
  • functioning on the basis of SoftMarketing, the Duolife Company is developing many times faster and attracts people from different backgrounds and with different material status. Numerous successful people cooperating with the DuoLife Company are the evidence of its effectiveness

Cholesterol

Cholesterol – Cholesterol standard

Cholesterol – Cholesterol standard

What are the standard cholesterol? Contrary to appearances, the level of “good” cholesterol should not be any. Check how cholesterol is optimal, and when it begins to be risky and what follows.

Without cholesterol synthesis of vitamins and hormones in the body would be impossible. This organic compound is an essential for a man, but like all good things – in excess is harmful. Typically, cholesterol is present in the form of free and esterified chain fatty acids.

Standards cholesterol

Too low or too high levels of cholesterol in the blood leads to serious cardiovascular disorders. Therefore, during the test should be marked “good” HDL cholesterol and “bad” LDL (read more about the good and bad cholesterol). It is recognized two basic standards and cholesterol levels for men and women:
HDL cholesterol standard ( “good”) cholesterol – the higher values are better result

Standard males 35-70 mg / dl (0,9-1,8 mmol / l)
Standard women 40-80 mg / dl (1,0-2,1 mmol / l)

LDL cholesterol standard ( “bad”) cholesterol – lower values are better result

Norm: <135 mg / dl (<3.5 mmol / l)
Elevated level: 135-155 mg / dl (3.5-4.0 mmol / l)
Significantly elevated level:> 155 mg / dL (> 4.0 mmol / l).

If standards have been greatly exceeded, the cardiovascular system is severely compromised. It begins with the reduction of the holes in the coronary arteries, which is simply atherosclerosis. It should be immediately begin to heal, because the treatment is not implemented, it may end up heart attack or stroke. Elevated levels of cholesterol affects alcohol abuse, smoking and low physical activity. Trouble causes but also for the low levels of cholesterol. It may mean hyperthyroidism, liver disease, malabsorption and malnutrition foods.

Thanks to the standards of cholesterol and risk factors (family history, age, smoking, higher blood pressure), doctors can assess the risk of heart disease. In order to examine the concentration of total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglyceride levels. During the test, total cholesterol is desired value below 200 mg / dL (5.17 mmol / L). The level is considered elevated to 200 – 239 mg / dL (5.17 – 6.18 mmol / L), and 240 mg / dL (6.21 mmol / L) and above the already high risk of heart disease.

However, you should also check the fractions of HDL and LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. You can check the actual quality of the fat that is sweeping our blood. Look to be even HDL, which is considered to be this good, which drains the excess cholesterol to the liver where it is broken down. As the highest level of HDL is considered to be healthy and effective in protecting against heart disease. LDL cholesterol in turn is worse. Lipoproteins circulating between the liver and other organs and tissues, transport cholesterol where it is needed. Often, unfortunately, the excess, which causes heart disease. By elevated levels is considered to value: 135-155 mg / dl (3.5-4.0 mmol / l) and increased significantly:> 155 mg / dL (> 4.0 mmol / l).

It is also important triglyceride levels. Less than 150mg / dL (1.69mmol / L) is the norm, while the level limit is 150 – 199 mg / dL (1.69 – 2.25 mmol / L). If we have 200 – 499 mg / dL (2.26 – 5.63 mmol / L) level is already high, and very high if it is above 500 mg / dL (5.64 mmol / L).

Is organic food really is healthier?

Is organic food really is healthier?

Is organic food really is healthier?

A recent study shows that organic food can actually be healthier than traditional. According to specialists, produced in a certain way more foods contain valuable nutrients and can therefore be advantageous to the organism.

How organic food is different from the traditional?
It is widely recognized that organic food is healthier than conventional, because of the way in which it is produced. In the case of organic farming does not apply pesticides and chemical fertilizers. In contrast, organic meat is produced without antibiotics or growth hormones. On the other hand, used in crops of organic manure such as manure and compost to enrich the soil with nitrogen. Commonly used they are also non-chemical methods of plant protection, such as crop rotation, mechanical weeding and biological pest control.

It is unclear, however, whether organic food really is better for health than traditional. Some experts have suggested that organic food provides more nutrients. However, in a number of previous studies on this topic have produced conflicting results. For example, in the analysis of the 2009 and 2012 not shown significant differences between the benefits carried by the products of organic and inorganic. However, these analyzes do not take into account the latest research, providing a much wider range of information.

Organic food source of antioxidants
In a recent study conducted by experts at Newcastle University in the UK have been taken into account 343 experiments which compared organic and inorganic foods of plant origin, such as fruit, vegetables and cereals, as well as foods produced from these ingredients. The researchers wanted to determine the differences in the content of vitamins and other nutrients between the two types of food. They looked at the level of harmful substances – eg. Pesticides and heavy metals.

We found that organic food contains a larger amount of antioxidants. These are substances that protect body cells from damage caused by free radicals – molecules that contribute to heart disease, cancer and other diseases. Examples of antioxidants are vitamin C, beta-carotene and flavanones. According to the lead author of the study, Professor. Carlo Leifert, by eating organic foods and products created from it, it is possible to provide the body with such a quantity of antioxidants, which can be found in 1-2 portions of fruit or vegetables.

But it also turned out that the inorganic foods have higher levels of one of the antioxidants – vitamin E. They also provide more protein and fiber. On the other hand, in the diet they had a higher level of inorganic pesticides and harmful metal – cadmium. However, their content was within normal limits.

Is it worth it to switch to an organic diet?
A recent study was much larger than the previous one. It was also carried out with greater caution. However, studies included in the analysis were different from each other. For example, some have focused on specific types of food holding while the other watched a food product available in supermarkets. These differences can make it difficult to draw conclusions uniform, increasing the likelihood of error.

From the last analysis it shows that although organic foods have more antioxidants do not know what it means for human health. The study did not appear that these substances can reduce the risk of disease. So far we know only that such a link is possible.

Compared to the food produced in a conventional manner, organic food may contain smaller amounts of potentially hazardous compounds such as pesticides, and more antioxidants. However, we still do not know how they affect health. So it is too early to recommend the use of an organic diet. Please note that such food can be much more expensive than inorganic. According to prof. Leifert, although the study shows the differences between organic and inorganic crops, should be performed in humans, which would show the real health benefits resulting from a change in diet to organic.

Collagen – what is it and how does it work?

Collagen – what is it and how does it work?

What is collagen ?

Collagen is the basis of so-called. connective tissue, so you can say that his presence is determined by the overall condition of the body. What is the role of collagen? Collagen is a type of adhesive tissues. The collagen fibers which are present in the intercellular spaces, which are a kind of scaffold, without which the body would not be able to adopt a form and format.

Collagen is the protein known as youth – and so is indisputably. In addition to being responsible for elasticity and youthful appearance of the skin, determines the health and strength of joints. Collagen builds cornea.

It is a component of many cosmetics, is used in beauty treatments and rejuvenating. It is also available in tablets as a dietary supplement. Taking it in the form of means means comprehensive action “from the inside” that reinforces all the cells of the body.

What are the causes of the loss of collagen?

Around the age of 30 the mechanism of destruction and regeneration of collagen fibers becomes impaired. The process of breaking the fibers exceeds its production, and we are seeing the first signs of aging of the body, which gradually loses its firmness, and with time it becomes flaccid, rough and dehydrated. At the same time the internal organs of aging – which is also connected to a large extent the loss of collagen. These mechanisms are quite complex and still not fully understood.

Research continues and allow at once convenient and more accessible methods by which it is possible to accept collagen in cosmetics, supplements, or by invasive treatments. Also, you should be aware that the way of life, habits and diet treatments are also of paramount importance in the economy of the body’s collagen.

What are the consequences of deficiency of collagen?

Deficiencies of collagen occur mainly due to the passage of time, which results in skin aging. Deficiencies of collagen can be observed mainly based on changes that occur in the skin – due to the fact that collagen affects the vitality, the rate of regeneration, beautiful skin, and even mood.

Collagen is a protein which is approx. 30% of all proteins that build and organize the function of the human body. As research shows – most of collagen (90%) contains the eye, and skin it has approx. 70%. Thus, in a situation where there are skin problems and eye problems – might be interested in whether or not they result from the deficiency of collagen (although it may surprise us the importance of collagen for healthy eyes).

As all particles of the body, the collagen is subject to their constant replacement. In place of broken collagen fibers create new, and it is important that this mechanism will work in suitable proportions and keep the make up losses. Then there will be adverse consequences for us deficiency of collagen. This process occurs in the skin within one month, while in the bones takes him this year. The renewal of collagen important, almost crucial role of vitamin C and copper.

It should be aware that the effect of collagen deficiency may be:

– hair loss and loss of radiance,
    -diseases of the scalp;
   – brittleness and fragility of nails;
    -joint and muscle pain;
   – loss of resistance – increased susceptibility to infections,
    -cancer.

A diet rich in collagen

It should ensure that the collagen is not lacking in the body. At present, you can be purchased in pharmacies formulations that contain collagen. Tablets of collagen are available without a prescription in most pharmacies. There are also agents which include not only collagen but also hyaluronic acid and beta-carotene – huge affect the appearance of the skin and improving the condition of the body.

Collagen is also present in food, but usually such that we consume rather reluctantly in chicken paws, organ meats, cartilage and natural gelatin. It should also be remembered that both the tablets with collagen, as well as foods rich in collagen must be taken systematically.
