Type of carbohydrate
1- Simple Carbohydrates (Monosaccharides and Disaccharides) Simple Sugars
2- Complex Carbohydrates(Polysaccharides)

Toxic Effects of Simple Sugars
May accelerate the Aging Process by causing Cross-Linking (glycosylation) of the body’s Proteins.
 May increase the body’s production of Adrenaline.
May increase the risk of Hypertension due to Cross-Linking.
– May damage the Blood Vessels  due to Cross-Linking.
May exacerbate Irritable Bowel Syndrome (by reducing the buffering effect of Polysaccharides).
May cause Intestinal Permeability.
May damage the Kidneys due to Cross-Linking.
–  May feed Cancer cells and increase risk of Colon Cancer and Stomach Cancer.
May increase the risk of Cataracts.
 May suppress the Immune System ( impair the ability of Neutrophils to function as Phagocytes).
May feed the detrimental bacteria Candida Albicans (yeast)
– May contributes to excessive production of endogenous Cholesterol and lower the HDL Cholesterol, also Simple Sugars are converted to Triglycerides
and then stored within the body as Adipose Tissue (Fat)..
 May cause Obesity.
May causeFatigue.
May stimulate the production ofFree Radicals.
– may increase the risk of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2.
May increase the risk of Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS).
May cause damage to the Skin and may increase the formation of Wrinkles due to Cross-Linking of the Collagen.

Excessive Consumption of Simple Sugars may Interfere with;

– May cause depletion of mineral Magnesium and Potassium.
May cause depletion of Vitamins C and vitamin B6.

Dietary Simple Sugars 
– Soft Drinks content of 33% (Glucose + Fructose + Sucrose).
– Fruit Drink content of 10% (Glucose + Fructose + Sucrose).
– Sweets and Candy content of 18% (Glucose + Fructose + Sucrose).
– Sweetened Grains content of 20% (Glucose + Fructose + Sucrose).
– Milk Products content of 10% (Glucose + Fructose + Sucrose).

Calcium deficiency and symptoms https://drsokhandan.com/calcium-deficiency-and-symptoms/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=calcium-deficiency-and-symptoms Mon, 03 Aug 2020 21:14:33 +0000 http://drsokhandan.com/?p=1593
Calcium plays major to build and maintain strong bones. Calcium is necessary for function of heart, muscles and nerves.Some studies suggest that calcium, along with vitamin D, may benefit bone health and perhaps protecting against cancer, diabetes, weight and high blood pressure. Calcium plays a major role in our health and the bones and the teeth, but this bone-building mineral is also significant in other areas of our health, including weight management  and decreasing PMS symptoms.  Post-Menopausal women absorb Calcium less efficiently – this contributes to their greater risk of Osteoporosis.

Health Benefits of Calcium
May enhance the function of the AdrenalGland 
 May lower Blood Pressure 
May help to prevent Kidney Stones
Abnormalities in Calcium may be an important factor in the pathogenesis of Hypertension
 May help to prevent (both forms of) Stroke
  May normalize heart rhythm in Arrhythmias patients
– Calcium can help and prevent constipation and alleviate heartburn
May help to alleviate Gastric ulcer
– Calcium can help to prevent some forms of cancer ( Brian, Meningioma, colon and Ovarian )
May lower total serum Cholesterol level by up to 6% and help to increase HDL, also decrease LDL level by 11%.
98% of the body”s Calcium is concentrated in the Bones where Calcium is involved in the formation and growth of the Bones. Optimal Calcium intake     may help to prevent 
          Fractures, and There is a strong relationship between Calcium deficiency and  Osteoporosis
May help Bone Pain
May help Joint Pain and some Backache
– May help Muscle Weakness and Muscle Cramps
May help to prevent Cataracts 
May prevent cancer ( Colon, Ovarian and  Brain )
  May be useful for the prevention/treatment of Alzheimer’s disease  (it may activate the Choline Acetylase enzyme that generates Acetylcholine, the Neurotransmitter that is
          most dysfunctional in Alzheimer”s Disease patients).
