What Are the Root Causes of Chronic Inflammation? ❤️

Insulin resistance is when the cells in your body stop responding well to insulin, which is a hormone that moves sugar (glucose) from your blood into cells for energy. This causes blood sugar levels to rise, prompting the pancreas to produce more insulin. Insulin resistance leads to high blood sugar and overproduction of insulin, significantly raising the risk for Type 2 Diabetes, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, stroke, NAFLD, PCOS, and potentially kidney disease, vision loss, and nerve damage due to chronic hyperglycemia. It also causes chronic inflammation, which is the root cause of most health challenges.

Alzheimer's disease is often referred to as "type 3 diabetes" due to the link between insulin resistance in the brain and the development of the disease. 

I am going to divide into 3 parts to discuss insulin resistance, strategies to reduce insulin resistance from TCM and herbal medicine. Here comes part one, please check my recent video.

New Antidotes for Aging! ❤️

Let’s talk about a few anti-aging foods and supplements based on recent research. With more and more new research on antiaging, the human race will reach a new milestone for longevity.

Spermidine
Spermidine was first discovered in 1678 by Dutch scientist Anton Van in a sample of human semen. Spermidine is a polyamine, meaning that it has two or more primary amino groups. It is naturally occurring in ribosomes and living tissues. In the body, spermidine is created from its precursor, which is also important for cellular function.

Spermidine triggers the process of autophagy, a cellular regeneration process that clears damaged cells and proteins. Spermidine may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and improve heart function by influencing blood pressure and blood flow. It also supports healthy metabolism by improving mitochondrial productivity and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels as well. Research suggests it can help with age-related fertility issues. Spermidine also helps strengthen bones by stimulating new bone cell formation and inhibiting the breakdown of old bone. 

Spermidine is known to stimulate autophagy. Autophagy allows damaged or defective mitochondria to be broken down and disposed of. The primary way spermidine supports longevity is through autophagy. But it also supports health and longevity in other ways. Some studies suggest that it has anti-inflammatory properties for longevity; aging is linked to chronic inflammation. It is also involved in lipid metabolism, cell growth and proliferation, and programmed cell death. By triggering autophagy, spermidine mimics the benefits of fasting by clearing damaged cells, reducing oxidative stress, and improving mitochondrial function, which in turn supports brain health, heart function, metabolism, and immune function. Spermidine also has direct effects on the aging process, including reducing inflammation, preserving telomere length, supporting stem cell function, and protecting DNA integrity, which contribute to enhanced longevity, improved cognition, resilient skin and hair health, and optimal health.

Spermidine activates mitophagy, which is a process that clears out old and poorly functioning mitochondria. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of energy production; they provide the energy needed for all cellular activities in our bodies. When mitochondria are not functioning optimally, it can lead to low energy levels and speed up the aging process. Spermidine helps to improve vitality and longevity by improving the regeneration of mitochondria. Spermidine has been shown to support heart health by improving the function of endothelial cells, which line the blood vessels. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, all of which help improve blood flow and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. It also positively influences gut microbiota and reduces gut permeability, which promotes a healthy gut microbiome. Spermidine can activate thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue in the body to burn more energy. It may also increase energy expenditure, which can promote weight loss.

What are the dietary sources of spermidine, and what about other antidotes for aging? Please check my recent video.

2026 Astrology Predictions! ❤️

2026 is approaching, and are you ready for the big shift? From astrology, 2026 is very promising! I wish all of you a fantastic 2026, and may all your dreams come true!

2026 is “the Year of the Horse” based on the Chinese Zodiac. Specifically, it is the year of the Fire Horse. What makes the Fire Horse so special? It is a combination that occurs only once every 60 years. Fire Horses are known for their intelligence, leadership, charisma, and unstoppable determination, which makes 2026 a perfect year to achieve your goals. The energy led by the horse will be driven by freedom-seeking and independence. From numerology, 2026 represents the number 1, which signifies new beginnings and new initiatives. Number 1 also represents leadership; we shall see the rise of new leaders.

Let’s take a look at the momentum of planets in 2026.

Jupiter will sweep through 3 Zodiac signs in 2026 at a fast pace that will bring quick changes and expansion. Jupiter will stay in Gemini until June 2nd, 2026, then it will move from Gemini to Cancer until October 31st, 2026. Finally, Jupiter will move from Cancer to Leo until July 25th, 2027. Jupiter brings expansion, higher wisdom, and optimism. Jupiter also influences finances; therefore, those who are financial advisors, bankers, investment managers, and stock traders can benefit from the positive energy of Jupiter in 2026. The stock market may start slowly, but it will likely pick up after June next year. Long-term investments may yield greater returns than short-term speculation. Jupiter brings higher knowledge and guidance, so teachers, counselors, public speakers, and spiritual guides can have a positive boost from Jupiter in 2026. Jupiter will also aspect its own sign – Sagittarius in the first half of the year and then again in the last two months, which brings transformation and inner awakening, and guides humanity to the spiritual path. Since Jupiter passes through three Zodiac signs in 2026, many areas in our lives will benefit from the positive and expansive energy of Jupiter, including financial growth, business expansion, spiritual evolution, and inner contentment during this year. Jupiter will be retrograde until March 11th. It will increase clarity in your decisions and help you gain more wisdom through communication.

The Connection of Emotions and Smell ❤️

Did you know your sense of smell is more powerful than sight as an emotional trigger? 

Aromatherapy has been used for centuries. When inhaled, the scent molecules in essential oils travel directly from the olfactory nerves to the brain, with a particular impact on the emotional center of the brain. The sense of smell, known as olfaction, plays a key role in aromatherapy. When you inhale a scent, it triggers the olfactory system, a complex network of receptors in the nose that sends signals directly to the brain. These signals influence the limbic system, a brain region responsible for emotions, memories, and mood regulation. What is the science behind aromatherapy? From the olfactory epithelium, nerve impulses are transmitted to the limbic system. This direct connection explains why scents can evoke powerful emotional responses and trigger memories from the past. When you inhale an aroma, scent molecules interact with the passage of the nose, which tells the neurons located there to generate a message for the olfactory bulb that processes the signal and sends information about the smell to the limbic system. It also helps secrete hormones and regulate memories. Your sense of smell is the first sense that you will fully develop as a child, and the smells that you like and dislike as a child will form the basis for your scent for the rest of your life. Your brain will form the links between scents and happy memories, people and places. Several studies have shown that smells trigger more intense and vivid emotional memories than pictures. This interaction influences mood, memory, cognition, behavior, and emotions, which can trigger the release of neurochemicals that impact various functions in the body and emotional responses, such as reducing stress and anxiety, improving sleep quality, etc.

Aromatherapy can be very potent in regulating the mood because of its ability to evoke powerful emotional memories. The olfactory bulb, a structure in the brain linked to smell, is closely connected to the amygdala and hippocampus, which are the areas associated with emotions and memory. As a result, certain smells can instantly shift you to specific memories or trigger particular emotional responses. Aromatherapy has been shown to impact neurotransmitter release in the brain and influence hormone balance; it can also shift brainwaves to facilitate relaxation and mood elevation. Different aromas stimulate specific areas within the limbic system, influencing mood, stress levels, and even cognitive function. Let’s talk about how to use the specific plants and essential oils to improve your sleep quality instead of taking sleeping pills that have lots of side effects associated with them.

A Bone Healer and Builder ❤️

As we age, fractures are very common; prevention is the key, and the calcium supplement is not the solution. Let's talk about a bone healer. 

Cissus quadrangularis, also known as veldt grape, adamant creeper, or devil’s backbone, is a plant that belongs to the grape family. Veldt grape is a perennial, deciduous, or succulent climbing plant. It has also traditionally been used in Ayurveda and other forms of traditional medicine. Native to certain parts of Asia, Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula, it has long been used as a natural remedy to treat a wide variety of health challenges. In various cultures, it's seen as a symbol of fidelity and prosperity. Its leaves, known as the god of wine, symbolize a divine connection. The plant's resilience and climbing nature also serve as a metaphor for personal growth and spiritual ascension in spiritual contexts.

The plant is a rich source of various bioactive compounds, including iridoids, stilbenes, flavonoids, and sterols, which reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, and exhibit anti-diabetic properties. The healing properties of this herb also contribute to its high contents of vitamin C and antioxidant compounds like carotenoids, tannins, and phenols.
Veldt grape has been used as an herbal supplement to treat hemorrhoids, bone loss, allergies, asthma, and diabetes. The plant has been shown to help reduce joint pain and relieve symptoms of arthritis. Research indicates it may help combat metabolic syndrome by improving blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Its anti-inflammatory properties help relieve arthritis and rheumatism. As an adaptogen, Cissus quadrangularis improves the body’s resistance to stress. Recent studies have suggested the plant’s ability to manage diabetes, improve blood glucose levels, and insulin sensitivity. 

Veldt Grape – A Bone Healer

• Promotes bone healing and prevents bone fractures and osteoporosis.
• Reduces metabolic syndromes and improves insulin sensitivity.
• Relieves arthritic pain and rheumatism.
• Promotes wound healing.
• Boosts immunity.

The leaves and stems are often used in the cuisine in southern India, and the fruit is also edible. A paste of the stem can be applied as a poultice for bone fractures and wound healing. Veldt grape can be used in various ways, including consuming the stems as a powder or juice, applying it topically for bone fractures and joint pain, and using it in culinary preparations like curry, etc.

An Immortality Tea?

Have you heard of Gynostemma Pentaphyllum? It is a five-leafed perennial climbing vine native to Southern China, Northern Vietnam, Korea, and Japan. It belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family, the same plant family as cucumbers, gourds, and melons. Unlike these varieties, gynostemma does not bear edible fruit and is a dioecious species, existing as either a male or female plant. When the two grow together, the female will produce small clusters of black seeded berries.

Gynostemma is also referred to as "sweet-tea vine,” and it became particularly famous as an "immortality tea." In the last several decades, it has increasingly gained popularity. The plant contains a group of triterpenoid saponins known as ginsenosides, which are believed to be responsible for many of its health-promoting properties. It is an adaptogenic herb rich in antioxidants with chemical constituents similar to ginseng. The leaf has more potency than the root when it comes to the healing benefits. It helps lower blood pressure, support cardiovascular health, promote longevity, and improve respiratory function. It also supports weight loss by boosting fat metabolism and has a calming effect on the mind and body to alleviate stress and anxiety.

Gynostemma is a great source of antioxidants and nutrients such as amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, including selenium, magnesium, zinc, calcium, iron, potassium, manganese, and phosphorus. Although it’s not botanically related to Panax ginseng or other ginseng, Gynostemma contains some of the same compounds as ginseng, such as ginsenosides. It also contains other ginseng-like saponins. Interestingly enough, Gynostemma contains over 80 different saponins compared to the 28 found in ginseng. Gypenosides are one of the main chemical compounds found in gynostemma that are responsible for its healing effects. These are triterpenoid saponins that are also present in other tonic herbs such as ashwagandha, Siberian ginseng, and astragalus root.

Gynostemma is also referred to as "southern ginseng", since it grows mainly in south-central China, and due to its similarity to ginseng and its saponin content. Its high saponin glycoside content gives the herb a sweet taste. The term "saponin" is actually derived from the Latin word meaning soap, which means they are chemical compounds with soap-like characteristics.

Researchers suggested that two very important antioxidants contribute to its amazing health benefits — glutathione and superoxide dismutase. One clinical study revealed that taking gynostemma each day for two months reduced fatigue, insomnia, memory loss, and other aging signs.

Here are some main health benefits of Gynostemma pentaphyllum:

Supports cardiovascular health by lowering blood pressure, reducing cholesterol levels, and improving circulation. Gynostemma may help promote healthy blood flow and prevent excess arterial narrowing. Chronic narrowed arteries are a major cause of heart disease.

Boosts immune function by increasing the production of immune cells. By enhancing antioxidant enzyme activity and reducing oxidative cell damage, gynostemma can boost the body’s immune cells to fight against disease and neutralize free radicals. Gynostemma is considered an adaptogen because of its ability to modulate immune functions and provide protective effects against chronic inflammation. These qualities as an adaptogenic substance are directly related to its high amount of triterpenoid saponin gypenosides and several polysaccharide compounds, which help lower high blood pressure, boost lipid metabolism, balance cholesterol, and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Promotes weight loss by increasing metabolism and reducing fat absorption. Gynostemma may increase fat-burning capacity and make muscle cells more sensitive to insulin. Gynostemma helps improve blood flow during exercise, and this can increase exercise capacity and duration, which promotes weight loss through increased energy expenditure. Active compounds in Gynostemma may help regulate insulin, reduce liver fat accumulation, and insulin resistance.
How to consume gynostemma? 

Although fresh gynostemma leaves are edible, it is usually dried and heat-processed to release many of their beneficial compounds. It is excellent to make an herbal tea with it. It is generally recommended to put a teaspoon of leaves in a cup of hot water, and you can use it more than once during the day. It has a delicious, slightly sweet taste with a flavor similar to green tea and nettle.
