Support Adult Stem Cells through Nutrition

By Andrea Rousseau

There has been a lot of controversey over stem cell research over the past eight to ten years, and rightly so. The controversy surrounds the use of Embryonic stem cell research. This method requires that cells be removed from a five day old embryo, known as a blastocyst. The living embryo is destroyed through this procedure, thus the moral objection.

This article is about adult stem cells. No life ends when this research is performed. The use of adult stem cells in the battle against disease and injury shows huge promise. Sources of adult stem cells have been found in bone marrow, and the blood stream to name just a couple.[neostem.com]

Stem cells offer the possibility of a renewable source of replacement cells to treat diseases, conditions, and disabilities. They are relatively inactive cells, but they can quickly respond to tissue stress and injury.

An important trait of adult stem cells is that they are strong and resilient. Studies have proven the phenomenon known as plasticity. This means that they have the ability to "morph" into other types of cells, such as heart cells or nerve cells.[Life Extension, Oct 2007] For this reason, the key to your own treatment are your own adult stem cells.

The key to maintaining your health and preventing disease then is to provide powerful nutrition at the cellular level. Stimulating the healthy growth of stem cells is a very important part of anti-aging programs.

In a recent study, researchers found a dose-related effect of blueberry, green tea, catechin, carnosin, and vitamin D3 on the proliferation of human bone marrow. Resveratrol also shows promise for boosting stem cell health.[neostem.com]

Blueberries have been shown to be one of the superfoods that can give a strong foundation for cellular health. Among the superfoods, they have one of the highest antioxidant activity and anti-inflamatory properties.

Acai is rich in Omega fats and is a great source of vitamins and minerals. Amla is one of the richest sources of vitamin c, and protects cells from free radical damage. - 17269
