Introduction to Glyconutrients Reference: Miracle Sugars, Rita Elkins M.H.
Virtually unheard of until recently, the 8 essential carbohydrate monosaccharides (glyconutrients or sugars) offer a new hope in the universe of health potential. Numerous studies & research investigations have linked a deficiency of these extraordinary glyconutrients to everything from chronic fatigue to heart disease, cancer to ADHD to infertility, & many others.
Since these sugars are so essential to every individual cell in the human body, scores of illnesses have been linked to an imbalance of these sugars, & increasing their intake through diet or supplementation have led to the restoration & maintaining the overall wellness of countless individuals. As far as immune system enhancement goes, these eight simple sugars are absolutely essential, if not critical, for maximum disease prevention & health maintenance.
But what exactly is a glyconutrient?
A glyconutrient is a sugar. Except these sugars are not the 'carbs' the Low Carb diet is trying to get you to cut back on. In more scientific terms glyconutrients are natural plant monosaccharides . There are eight specific monosaccharides your body needs for cells to create messages that communicate with other cells.  These monosaccharides unite with proteins & fats to create glycoforms, which cover the surface of virtually every cell in the body.
Glycoforms function as cellular recognition molecules that communicate the messages your body needs to function in good health. Glyconutritionals provide your body the raw nutrients to create a proper glycoform & allow healthy communication between cells. Glyconutrients give the cells what they need to form healthy receptor sites on cell surfaces.

 

Glyconutrients provide the language of communication for your cells. Now what does that mean? Well, science has recently discovered that these eight sugars make up the cell-to-cell communication language. Unlike our own language, English, which has 26 letters to choose from, the cell-to-cell language has only eight. Now, you're probably thinking, "big deal, so what?" Well to explain this, I will use a methodology that I heard at a presentation night.  Healthy tissues make healthy organs and healthy organs make up healthy systems (e.g. your immune system).  It all relies on healthy and properly functioning cellular communication.
Think of your cells using a 'language' similar to the English alphabet. To make all the letters in the alphabet only requires four different shapes. But those four shapes combine to make 26 different letters, that spell thousands of words. If one of the shapes is missing, words are misspelled or not recognized.
How to keep your immune system functioning at an optimal level? Communication within your body is what keeps your immune system operating efficiently. Most importantly, it is the communication at the cellular level.  When our cells communicate properly, they can make healthy tissues, and they when our cell cannot communicate properly they do not. 

 

So  put simply glyconutrients defend, protect and maintain cellular health.  Glyconutrients fit into a new area of science and are a technological breakthrough.  Learn more about Glyconutrients and optimal health by going to www.mannapages.com/eaglewings1267 and emailing me for free info pack on esc74785@bigpond.net.au
