How Molecular Hydrogen Works to Benefit Your Health
Story at-a-glance
- Molecular hydrogen is an active component in hydrogen water that provides therapeutic benefits to the body
- The "Four H's" framework explains hydrogen water’s benefits — actual hydrogen presence, improved health behaviors, better hydration, and hype effects, which is another term for placebo
- Clinical trials demonstrate real health improvements including rheumatoid arthritis remission, better metabolic health, and improved blood lipid profiles.
- Hydrogen acts as a selective antioxidant targeting only dangerous free radicals while influencing gene expression and supporting mitochondrial energy production
- Pulsed supplementation is more effective than constant use. For example, consume hydrogen water at specific times rather than continuously throughout the day.
- You need to go to Dr. Mercola's site; www.mercola.com and put in 'Hydrogen" That will take you to a site that shows all the Hydrogen topics that have been presented. Choose the one that is given Tyler Le Baron. It will BLOW your mind!
- It is a presentation that explains fully all the benefits of Molecular Hydrogen.
- This is the website that shows the equipment that is necessary for producing Molecular Hydrogen. https://inhaleh2.com

Cracking the Myth — How Eating Eggs Helps Lower Bad Cholesterol
Story at-a-glance
- A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that eating two eggs daily lowered LDL cholesterol, while high saturated fat diets raised it
- Researchers found cholesterol from eggs did not raise LDL, but saturated fat from foods like bacon and sausage did, showing food context makes a major difference
- Eggs provide cholesterol without overloading the liver, allowing it to clear LDL efficiently and preventing artery buildup that increases heart disease and stroke risk
- Thank you Dr. Mercola
- Weekly egg intake reduced heart disease deaths by 29% and all-cause mortality by 17% in older adults, highlighting the importance of moderation for protective benefits
- Choosing pastured eggs, avoiding vegetable oils, and pairing eggs with nutrient-rich whole foods further boost benefits while minimizing harmful omega-6 linoleic acid (LA) intake

THE MASTERPIECE of NUTRITION
MY
CONCOCTION
I have decided to do a blog on what I do for my breakfast and lunch. We eat food to get our NOURISHMENT ie. NUTRITION. WE 'should' CHOOSE the foods which are natural and not processed: they are the healthy pathway to better health.
I took this analogy one step further.My CONCOCTION contains ONLY Wholesome Natural Foods, you might say without all the frill.
We eat food to derive the necessary VITAMINS and MINERALS from it. I cut to the chase. My CONCOCTION contains ONLY those two very important and valuable ingredients.
My breakfast is a about a large cup of my concoction. PERIOD
My lunch is a repeat, except that I include a small bowl of Adams Peanut butter from Costco.
Here's a list of the herbs.
If you have weeds in your garden, you’re probably growing purslane. This plant is not only edible but also very nutritious—it’s even grown as a crop. Discover purslane’s surprising health benefits and how to cook purslane.
Common purslane, Portulaca oleracea, is a succulent used in Greek and Italian cooking. Immigrants from India originally brought it with them; it then escaped into gardens and backyards and is now naturalized worldwide. Over centuries, purslane has been treated as a medicinal wonder, a cultivated ornamental, an annoying weed, and an edible leafy green!
Loaded with antioxidants
Free radicals are unstable molecules in your body that cause cell damage. Antioxidants are special compounds found in plants and plant-based foods that fight against them. Purslane contains plenty of antioxidants, such as:
- Vitamin A: It protects your eyes as well as improves your immune system. It's also critical to the health of your organs because it supports healthy cell division.
- Beta-carotene: It turns into vitamin A in your body. Its ability to reduce the number of free radicals in your body can help reduce your risk of cancer.
- Vitamin C: It keeps your collagen and blood vessels in good shape, and helps heal injuries.
- Glutathione: It has anti-cancer properties. Purslane leaves contain more glutathione than spinach.
- Melatonin: It not only helps improve your sleep but also reduces inflammation, helps manage your immune system, and is good for your blood pressure.
- Betalain: Although more studies need to be done, the natural substance that gives purslane stems their reddish color appears to have antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal qualities.
Lower risk of cancer
Purslane contains several compounds that have been linked to anti-cancer activity. Among them are flavonoids, alkaloids, and polysaccharides, a type of natural carbohydrate. Early studies also show that some of these potent ingredients could one day end up being used to treat cancer. But much more research needs to be done.
Heart health
Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fish, not usually in plants. Purslane is an exception. In fact, it has the highest recorded levels of omega-3 fatty acids of any land-based plant. These essential fats can support the health of your arteries and help prevent strokes, heart attacks, and other forms of heart disease. Omega-3 fatty acids could also help reduce your risk of dementia and some types of cancer, including breast cancer.
Diabetes management
Studies show that eating purslane can reduce your fasting blood sugar. That can be a big help if you live with type 2 diabetes. Although more research needs to be done, some data shows that purslane can help people with a high body mass index (BMI) lose excess weight. Getting to a healthy weight is one of the best ways you can manage your blood sugar and prevent diabetes complications.
Bone health
Purslane is also a great source of two minerals that are important to bone health: calcium and magnesium. Your body doesn't make calcium, so you need to get it regularly from food to have strong bones and teeth. About 60% of the magnesium that you have in your body is stored in your bones. It helps produce bone-building cells and controls a hormone that helps your body use calcium. Getting enough of both these minerals can improve your skeletal health and prevent complications from osteoporosis and aging.
Other benefits of purslane
Early studies show that natural substances in purslane may also help with:
- Wound healing
- Liver health
- Gastrointestinal issues (such as stomach ulcers)
- Viral infections
- Bacterial infections
- Yeast infections
But more research still needs to be done.
Nutrition
Purslane is rich in folate, a form of vitamin B that supports many of your body's functions, from your vision to your brain health. Doctors recommend that if you're pregnant, you should aim to get at least 400 micrograms of folate daily because it helps avoid birth defects.
Purslane is also an excellent source of:
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin C
- Potassium
- Calcium
- Iron
- Choline
- Magnesium
Nutrients per serving
A one-cup serving of purslane contains:
- Calories: 7
- Protein: Less than 1 gram
- Fat: Less than 1 gram
- Carbohydrates: 1 gram
- Fiber: Less than 1 gram
- Sugar: Less than 1 gram
Things to watch out for
Purslane contains chemicals called oxalates, which have been linked to kidney stones. These are very hard mineral deposits that form inside your kidneys. They can be painful when they pass through your urinary tract. Sometimes, they get stuck and cause more issues.
If you're prone to kidney stones, check with your doctor before trying to add purslane, especially purslane seeds, to your diet. Although purslane seeds are tiny, they tend to have higher levels of oxalates than other parts of the plant.
Purslane also tends to be saltier than other vegetables because of its succulent nature.
