Stroke is a condition in which the brain function is interrupted rapidly due to the loss of blood supply as a result of the blockage of blood such as thrombosis and arterial embolism, or leakage of blood causes of the death of brain cells, according to the article of Mitochondria, oxidative metabolism and cell death in stroke by Sims NR, Muyderman H (September 2009).
In other words, stroke can be caused by either ischemia, due to lack of blood flow or hemorrhagic, due to bleeding.
A stroke is a medical emergency. Early intervention is most cases can minimize brain damage and potential complications.
There is a general belief that stroke is an accumulation over a long period of the unhealthy diet with red meat and processed meats in the induction of artery-clogging.
Some researchers suggested that increased intake of fruits and vegetables such as carrot accompanied with good fats such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel may have a substantial effect in reduced inflammation in the arteries, improved blood flow, and decreased the chance of blood clots.
Sadly, stroke is one of the most common causes of death worldwide.
In the US, according to statistics, approximately 800,000 people suffer a stroke in which 600,000 of these are first attacks, and 185,000 are recurrent attacks. Nearly three-quarters of all strokes occur in people over the age of 65.
Stroke is also the third leading cause of death. Approximately 1/4 of all stroke victims die as a direct result of the stroke or its complications.
Ashwagandha also is known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, Middle East, and the Mediterranean.
The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered as anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.
In the urgency to discover a natural ingredient for the prevention of disease associated with plaque accumulated on the arterial wall, researchers examined the effects of Withania somnifera (WS), supplementation on middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) induced mitochondrial dysfunctions in an experimental model of ischemic stroke.
According to the tested analysis, before treatment with WS, tested mice showed an ischemia-reperfusion injury, leading to the increase of the oxidative stress indicated by increased reactive oxygen species and protein carbonyl levels and low levels of antioxidant enzymes.
The untreated mice also exerted decreased antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase activity, along with a reduction in GSH levels and the redox ratio, impaired mitochondrial functions, and enhanced expression of apoptosis markers.
Ischemia-reperfusion injury in the tested mice also induced mitochondrial dysfunctions.
Moreover, the levels of pro-inflammatory and apoptotic proteins were also increased in the untreated mice. The Y maze test also indicated a significant impairment in cognitive functions in the tested animal.
However, WS pre-supplementation ameliorated all parameters associated with the induction of MCAO such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunctions, apoptosis, and cognitive impairments.
Based on the evidence, researchers said, "WS pre-supplementation in ischemic stroke and are suggestive of its potential application in stroke management".
Taken altogether, Ashwagandha may be considered a supplement for stroke management, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Turmeric Protects the Stomach Against Gastritis Developing
Gastritis is a group of conditions associated with the inflammation of the lining of the stomach caused by infection of the bacterium, leading stomach ulcers developing.
A stomach ulcer is an open sore in the lining of the stomach. In most cases, it is a result of bacterial infection that leads to the erosion of the gastric lining by stomach acid.
Other causes of gastritis are long term excessive alcohol consumption and use of certain medication such as aspirin.
There are 2 types of gastritis
* Acute gastritis occurs suddenly as a result of inflammation or swelling in the lining of the stomach. and only affects the stomach and induce nausea or vomiting,
* Chronic gastritis is a condition that develops slowly due to chronic inflammation or damage of stomach lining that has not healed.
Patients with chronic gastritis if untreated were found to have a substantial risk of stomach cancer.
The most common symptoms of gastritis are burning sensation or pain in the upper abdomen, nausea, vomiting, and abnormal feeling of fullness in the upper abdomen after eating.
Out of many risk factors involved in the onset of the condition, some researchers in the observation of the correlation of high-fat diet-induced obesity over the past few decades, in the risk of gastritis wrote, "Obesity has become a major concern among gastroenterologists due to its large influence on gastrointestinal and hepatic diseases: reflux esophagitis, pancreatitis, gallstone disease, liver fibrosis, and neoplastic tumors of the esophagus, pancreas, and colon".
And, "the effects of obesity on endoscopic gastritis in subjects undergoing health check-up examination, and demonstrated that adiponectin, a bioactive molecule released from visceral fat, could be a protective factor of endoscopic gastritis".
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
On finding a potential ingredient for the treatment of gastric inflammation, researchers examined the effect of diterpenoid C extracted from radix curcumae on Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-infected inflammation, intestinal metaplasia.
The study included human gastric epithelial gastric epithelium cell line (GES-1) infected by I-type H. pylori treated with radix curcumae (RC)-derived diterpenoid C of different concentrations (5, 10, 20 μg/mL) and amoxicillin.
According to the MTT assay, IC5 of RC-derived diterpenoid C and amoxicillin of 5 μg/mL inhibited the progression rate of GES-1.
The combination also inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and exhibited the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines associated with injection of I-type H. pylori in the GES-1,
particularly, at 12, 24, 48, 72 h points.
In other words, the combination protecting the stomach against gastric inflammation by blocking the activation of a protein involved in the stimulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Based on the findings, researchers wrote, "RC-derived diterpenoid C can block NF-κB signal pathway, effectively reducing the secretion of H. pylori-induced proinflammatory cytokine and increasing the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokine".
In Helicobacter pylori infection of the lining of the stomach induces an array of inflammatory cytokine production that leads to gastritis and peptic ulcer disease, researchers at the Uttaradit Hospital conducted an experiment to investigate the effect of curcumin on the production of interleukin (IL)-8, IL-1beta, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in gastric mucosa from H. pylori-infected gastritis patients.
Selected patients were randomly assigned to receive either OAM (Omeprazole, Amoxicillin, and Metronidazole) treatment and/or a course of curcumin.
According to the tested assays, curcumin alone may have a limited anti-bactericidal effect on H. pylori, and on the production of inflammatory cytokines compared to those of the OAM group.
However, the curcumin group showed significant relieving symptoms with a lower rate in the eradication rate of H. pylori and no decreased cytokine production.
Precisely, curcumin used alone has limited efficacy compared to that of the combination in reducing the gastric inflammation.
Taken altogether, turmeric processed abundant bioactive ingredient curcumin may be combined with other conventional medicines for the prevention and treatment of gastric inflammation, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of turmeric in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Herbal Bilberry, Protect the Brain Cell Against Memory Impairment
Memory impairment is a condition associated with a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills. Over time, the condition can worsen enough to affect the quality of life and daily activity.
Memory loss can be temporarily forgotten, such as forgetting to pay a monthly bill and permanent such as no longer know your name. Many factors can cause memory change. However, memory impairment in the elderly in most cases is associated with a gradual loss and death of neurons such as Alzheimer's disease.
Some memory changes can be resolved on their own or cured by medical treatment. Others due to the loss of neuron and quantity capacity cannot be revered such as dementia.
According to statistics, dementia affects 47.5 million people worldwide. Every year over 7.7 million new cases are diagnosed. The disease is a leading cause of dependency and mental impairment among the elderly population.
The aim of the treatment of irreversible memory impairment is to improve the quality of life by delaying the progression of underlying diseases such as AD and PD.
Bilberry is a species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern Europe.
The plant berry has been used as herbs in traditional medicine for the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea, gastritis, gastric ulcer, and duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, ulcerative colitis, anemia, cystitis, kidney disease, and psoriasis, diabetes, etc.
With an aim to find a potential compound for the treatment of memory deficits, with no side effects compared to those of conventional medicine, researchers examined the effects of anthocyanin pigments, a group of flavonoids, and a widespread class of phenolic compounds found abundantly in bilberry.
The study included the examination of elevated plus-maze and radial maze tasks cognitive performance fed approximately 3.2 mg kg(-1)day (oral) the anthocyanins. The lyophilized berries were administered for 30 days before the first training.
According to the step-down inhibitory avoidance, open field analysis, lyophilized berries significantly enhanced short-term memory, but not long-term memory and induced an increase in the number of crossings in the first exposure to the open field.
Interestingly, prolonged treatment with lyophilized berries did not have any significant effects in the elevated plus-maze task but improved working memory in the radial maze, with significant differences observed during sessions 1-2 and 4, but did not alter reference memory in this task.
Researchers after taking into account co and confounders wrote in the final report, "These results suggest that lyophilized berries may be beneficial in the prevention of memory deficits, one of the symptoms related to AD, and corroborate previous findings showing that flavonoids present effects in several learning paradigms".
In other words, the efficacy of bilberry protects the memory function against the onset of deficits was attributed to the bioactive compound anthocyanin.
Taken altogether, bilberry processed abundantly bioactive compound Anthocyanoside may be considered a functioning remedy for the prevention and treatment symptom of memory deficits in patients with AD, pending to the validation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Bromelain Protects the Joints Against Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA), a form of arthritis, is a chronic condition found mostly in elderly caused by of wear and tear on a joint.
The University of Porto Medical School in the definition of OA advised that one must understand the differences in prevalence and incidence estimates of osteoarthritis (OA), according to case definition, in the knee, hip, and hand joints(3).
The condition affects over 25 million people in the United States.
The characteristics of osteoarthritis are aching pain, stiffness, or difficulty of moving the joint or joints. The pain usually gets worse in a change of weather, at night, and in the advanced diseases, the pain can occur even at rest.
Today management of osteoarthritis (OA) focuses on pain relief and improved physical function and quality of life through pharmacological, nonpharmacological, and surgical treatments.
Most common causes of OA are
* Process of wear and repair
Osteoarthritis (OA), is a widespread degenerative disease of skeletal joints often associated with senescence invertebrates. arising from long term wear and tear, heavy long-term use or specific injuries. The improper repair process of injuring joints can also result in symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA) in old age, according to TCM.
* Nutrient deficiency and overload
Poor nutritional conditions experienced early in life are linked to the greater prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA), such as vitamin D. On the other hand, nutrient overload and metabolic surplus, such as obesity may contribute to early onset of osteoarthritis (OA).
* Cartilage
Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue cushioned the ends of bones in the joints that allow the joints to move smoothly. Rough or wears down cartilage due to aging or damage can cause pain due to the bone in the joint rubbing against another bone.
The above causes of Osteoarthritis (OA) may also be the result of injury, overuse, and Rheumatoid Arthritis,
In other words, lifelong protection of cartilage and joint damage and injury has an inverse association with the risk of OA.
Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme found in pineapples (Ananas comosus) has been used in traditional medicine as an inflammatory agent and to treat pains, strains, and muscle aches and pains and ease back pain and chronic joint pain, skin diseases, etc.
With an aim to find a natural resource for the treatment of osteoarthritis, researchers compared the effect of a combination of bromelain, trypsin, and rutin (ERC) to diclofenac.
The study included103 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee randomly received either the combination of bromelain, trypsin, and rutin or diclofenac including 52 patients treated with ERC and 51 patients treated with the diclofenac.
According to the tested assay,
* The mean value of the Lequesne's Algofunctional Index (LFI) decreased from 13.0 to 9.4 in the ERC group and from 12.5 to 9.4 in the diclofenac group.
* Non-inferiority of ERC was demonstrated by both primary criteria, LFI (MW = 0.5305; CI-LB = 0.4171) and complaint index (MW = 0.5434; CI-LB = 0.4296).
Where LFI is a measurement of the severity of osteoarthritis.
* ERC also showed the superior improvement of secondary efficacy criteria, compared to diclofenac
* The global judgment of efficacy by physician resulted in at least good ratings for 51.4% of the ERC patients, and for 37.2% of the diclofenac patients.
Furthermore, the majority of patients rate the tolerability in both drug groups as very good or good.
Based on the finding, researchers wrote, " ERC can be considered as an effective and safe alternative to NSAIDs such as diclofenac in the treatment of painful episodes of OA of the knee".
Taken altogether, bromelain used alone or combined with conventional medicine may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Taken altogether, bromelain used alone or combined with conventional medicine may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Bilberry, the Atheroprotective Functional Food
Atherosclerosis is a condition associated with the accumulated plaque on the arterial wall. Over time the condition can cause stiffening and hardening of the arterial, leading to cardiovascular disease.
Atheroprotection is an action that reduces the plaque build up on the arterial wall. In other words, anything, including the use of substances such as herbal remedy that prevents the blockage or narrowing of the arteries is considered to precess atheroprotective effects.
Although plaque is formed by substances found in the bloodstream, most cases of atherosclerosis are also associated with the amount of cholesterol which normally returned to the liver in healthy individuals remaining in the blood due to low levels of good cholesterol (HDL) or overexpression of bad cholesterol (LDL).
In other words, an unhealthy ratio of low and high-density lipoprotein is also one of the major risk factors of atherosclerosis. the healthy ratio of blood cholesterol is any number that is less than 4 (LDL)/ 1 )HDL)
Dr. Ilaria Zanotti, the lead scientist in the investigation of atheroprotective effects of (poly) phenols wrote, "epidemiological studies have demonstrated that dietary intake of (poly)phenols from nuts, coffee, cocoa, grapes, and berries may protect against the development of atherosclerosis".
And, "... recently emerging data suggest mechanisms by which (poly)phenolic substances can modulate cellular lipid metabolism, thereby mitigating atherosclerotic plaque formation".
The results strongly suggested a healthy diet including nuts, coffee, cocoa, grapes, and berries may have a profound effect on the prevention of atherosclerosis.
Bilberry is a species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern Europe.
The plant berry has been used as herbs in traditional medicine for the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea, gastritis, gastric ulcer, and duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, ulcerative colitis, anemia, cystitis, kidney disease, and psoriasis, diabetes, etc.
With an aim to find a potent ingredient that processes atheroprotective effects, researchers assessed the results of the intake of bilberry foods associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases from the previous study.
2 bilberry extracts included one rich in anthocyanins extracted from untreated bilberries (BE) and a second one extracted from yeast-fermented bilberries (FBE).
On atherosclerosis induced apolipoprotein E-deficient mice (apo E(-/-)) received for 16 weeks a diet supplemented with 0.02% of either BE or FBE.
According to the measurement of atherosclerotic plaque area, administration of both supplementations bilberry extracts led to significant inhibition of plaque development, without affecting on oxidative stress parameters or lipid profiles.
The results surprisingly suggested bilberry supplement inhibited the atherosclerotic development through other mechanisms unrelated to inflammation and lipoproteins.
Compared to BE, FBE showed better protection against plaque accumulation on the arterial walls.
The finding firmly showed that the fermentation must have generated new bioactive compounds that are found in the BE extracts.
In other words, other compounds found in bilberry fermentation are more effective in attenuating the progression of atherosclerotic lesions.
Taken altogether, bilberry, particularly bilberry fermentation processed abundantly bioactive compounds anthocyanins may be considered function remedies for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, pending to the validation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Bromelain Modulated the Immune System Against the Development of Diseases
The immune system is a network of cells, tissues, and organs that provide the body's defense against infectious organisms and pathogens.
The immune system can be classified into innate immunity and adaptive immunity
* Innate immunity comprised the cells and mechanisms is the process of the immune response against infection in a non-specific manner.
* Adaptive immunity or acquired immunity is the process to destroy pathogens or prevent their growth by a composed of highly specialized, systemic cells that have been causing a threat to the body in the past.
Diseases associated with the immune system can also be classified into underactive immunity and overactive immunity
* Underactive immunity also known as weakened immune function is a condition found mostly in people with chronic illness, the elderly, and children with immature immunity.
People with a weakened immune system are prone to infectious diseases.
* Overactive immunity associated with autoimmune diseases, including celiac disease, diabetes mellitus type 1, Graves'disease, inflammatory bowel disease, caused by allergens induced the immune system mistakenly attacking the body tissues.
In an inflammatory perspective, the chronic inflammatory diseases are also caused by the immune system failure in destroying all foreign invaders in the acute infection in a set period of time, leading to immune adaptation with the long-term production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Diseases associated with chronic inflammation include type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease.
Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme found in pineapples (Ananas comosus) has been used in traditional medicine as an inflammatory agent and to treat pains, strains, and muscle aches and pains and ease back pain and chronic joint pain, skin diseases, etc.
On finding a potential compound for the modulation of the immune system, researchers examined the effects on inflammation-related cytokines of two doses of bromelain in a single dose placebo-controlled 3 × crossovers randomized clinical trial.
Injection of bromelain demonstrated significant immune-modulatory effects on Th1 cell mediator interferon-gamma in response to antigenic stimulation, Th2-type cytokine IL-5 in the regulation of humoral immune responses to extracellular parasites and bacterial infection as well as the immunosuppressive cytokine interleukin (IL)-10.
In other words, bromelain has a general effect on the antigen-specific (T cell) compartment of the human immune system in the modulation of cellular responses of lymphocyte.
In order to obtain more information of bromelain immunomodulatory effects, researchers investigated the influence of bromelain and trypsin on the cytokine production and proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from patients with a classical cellular mediated autoimmune disorder, namely, encephalomyelitis disseminate (ED) as well as from healthy controls.
The experiment carried out with PBMC from patients with ED (n=12) and healthy controls (n=12) cultured for seven days at 37 degrees C under three different conditions: without antigen, with bromelain and with trypsin (final concentrations 10-1000 microg/ml).
Compared to trypsin, PBMC from patients with ED and healthy controls showed a significantly increased proliferative response to bromelain (ED: 14053+/- 7585 CPM with bromelain vs. spontaneous proliferation of 430+/- 255 CPM; healthy controls.
Furthermore, bromelain modulated the immune expression by activating macrophages/monocytes and type 1 cells associated with the adaptive immunity process independently from the underlying disease.
Taken altogether, bromelain may be considered a remedy for the modulation of immune function, pending to the confirmation of large sample size and multicenter study.
Intake of bromelain in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Herbal Ashwagandha Improves Cardiorespiratory Endurance in Healthy Athletic Adults
The heart formed part of the circulatory system is a muscular organ that pumps blood through the blood vessels to nourish the body tissues and organs.
Cardiorespiratory endurance is a measurement of how well your heart, lungs, and muscles work over an extended period of time of physical activity.
Participating in a program of regular aerobic exercise has been found to improve cardiorespiratory endurance in athletes.
In other words, healthy individuals with optimal cardiorespiratory endurance have been found to benefits from reducing the risk of heart disease, lung cancer, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and other diseases.
Furthermore, cardiorespiratory fitness also improves the lung and heart condition and increases feelings of wellbeing.
An article posted in the Medical News Today regarded to the health benefits of cardiorespiratory fitness wrote, "Scientific research also suggests some other potential health benefits from having an improved cardiorespiratory endurance" and "For example:
A 2017 study suggests that people with higher cardiorespiratory endurance are less likely to develop high blood pressure than those with a lower cardiorespiratory endurance.
In a 2015 study, researchers found a positive correlation between cardiorespiratory endurance levels and multitask performance among adults aged between 59 and 80 years.
Improving cardiorespiratory endurance may decrease the risk of coronary heart disease and all-cause mortality, according to a 2015 study".
Ashwagandha also is known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, Middle East, and the Mediterranean.
The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered as anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.
On finding a natural ingredient for the improvement of health-fitness, researchers examined the clinical efficacy of herbal Ashwagandha on cardiovascular endurance and physical performance.
According to the results from a prospective, double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled study included 50 healthy male/female athletic adults,
* Participant reived KSM-66 Ashwagandha showed a greater increase from baseline in the mean peak physical exertion (VO2 max compared to placebo (n = 25) at 8 weeks (4.91 and 1.42, respectively) and at 12 weeks.
* Furthermore, at week 12, the Ashwagandha group showed an improvement of the quality of life (QOL) scores for all subdomains significantly, compared to placebo (P < 0.05).
In other words, Ashwagandha root extract enhances the cardiorespiratory endurance and improves QOL in healthy athletic adults.
Taken altogether, Ashwagandha may be considered supplements for the promotion of cardiovascular endurance and physical performance in healthy exercisers, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
