Nucleic Acid and Human Health

Proteins, fats, sugars, vitamins, minerals, and water are six essential nutrients that are already known in nutrition. In recent years, with the advancement of nutrition research at the molecular level, nucleic acids are considered to be a new organic nutrient recognized and utilized by humans after protein, fat, and carbohydrates. The wave of nucleic acid nutrition surged from the developed countries and quickly swept the world.
The nucleic acid was first discovered in 1868 and was the first time that Miescher, a scientist from Switzerland, had been isolated from the nucleus of the skin cells of a surgical bandage. After continuous efforts by 38 Nobel Prize-winning scientific giants, significant progress was made in nucleic acid research. Studies have shown that nucleic acid is a high molecular compound that exists in biological cells and can be divided into two major categories: one is deoxyribonucleic acid (abbreviated as DNA) and the other is ribonucleic acid (abbreviated as RNA); the nucleic acid is acidic, It is made up of a number of nucleotides that are composed of the base pentose and phosphoric acid. The pentose in DNA is D-2-deoxynucleic acid, and the pentose contained in RNA is D-ribose. Nucleic acids are often bound to proteins within cells and exist as nuclear proteins.
Some of the most fundamental phenomena of life such as growth, inheritance, and mutation are closely related to nucleic acids. Therefore, nucleic acid is a fundamental substance that creates life, protects life, and prolongs life. It plays an important role in human health and longevity. Modern nutrition refers to nucleic acids as the "source of life," and Nutrient Nutrients is considered the highest level of contemporary nutrition and health care.
1. The physiological function of nucleic acids
1.1 Nucleic Acid is the Material Foundation of Genetics Genetics are one of the characteristics of life, and DNA is the carrier and transmitter of biological genetic information. That is, the morphological structure and physiological characteristics of an organism are transmitted to its offspring through the parental DNA. A segment of DNA macromolecules that carries certain genetic information is a gene. It consists of four specific nucleotides arranged in a certain order, which determines the genetic traits of the organism. In the process of cell division during the formation of a new life, DNA is precisely replicated according to its own structure, and the genetic information (specific sequence of nucleotides) is transmitted from generation to generation, extending the genetic characteristics of the organism.
1.2 The synthesis of proteins is inseparable from nucleic acids. It is well known that proteins constitute the important structural material of the human body, and they are the basic components of enzymes and the basic material of life. The synthesis of proteins is the basic process of life activities. The synthesis of proteins in cells is inseparable from nucleic acids, that is, the genetic information carried by DNA guides the synthesis of proteins. RNA then completes the synthesis of proteins based on the information of DNA. The process can be simply expressed as DNA transcribing RNA to translate proteins. In other words, with a certain structure of DNA, can produce a certain structure of the protein, a certain structure of the protein, there is a certain shape and physiological characteristics of the organism.
45% of the total solids in the human body consist of proteins, so nucleic acids are the basis for making human bodies. From birth to death, nucleic acids play a role in dominating and sustaining life. All living things on the earth rely on nucleic acids to continue life.
1.3 Nucleic acid is an important component of the human body. People are made up of cells. Each person has about 6 billion cells. Each cell contains nucleic acids. The core of the cell - the main component of the nucleus is DNA, RNA is one of the components of the cytoplasm. Therefore, nucleic acid is the basic material of life.
2. Nucleic Acid Deficiency and Diseases Human cells in the body die every day as well as new cells. The state of this cell exchange is called metabolism. The stronger the metabolic capacity, the healthier the body is. The substance that controls cell metabolism is nucleic acid. If the nucleic acid is lacking, it will lead to gene damage, which will lead to a variety of diseases, from small abnormalities that can be consciously found in our daily lives to large-scale diseases. Especially in middle-aged and elderly people, as their age increases, the ability to synthesize nucleic acids decreases, and many unreasonable dietary habits are added, resulting in insufficient nucleic acids in the body and a significant decrease in protein synthesis. Abnormalities in the content and vitality of many enzymes cause premature Aging, all kinds of diseases will be false and human.
The symptoms of nucleic acid deficiency include the following three aspects:
2.1 Cell division, slowing down of proliferation, resulting in aging of human organs, such as epidermal basal cell division slow down, dry skin, rough, loose; digestive organ mucous membrane or villous epithelial cells slow regeneration, gastrointestinal aging, digestion Absorption is reduced and diarrhea occurs. Constipation, etc.; bone marrow hematopoietic function decreased, anemia, leukopenia and other symptoms.
2.2 Impaired genetics, reduced levels of metabolism, weakening of the body's resistance to disease and immunity, resulting in high risk of carcinogenesis, and increased incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes.
2.3 abnormal nervous system function, leading to memory loss, Alzheimer's disease. Parkinson's disease, prominent deafness, epilepsy, and other diseases of the nervous system.
Nucleic acid nutrition and disease prevention and treatment
1997. Franklin, an American medical doctor, conducted a wide range of nucleic acid metabolism therapies. The results showed that: by supplementing the body with nucleic acids, a large number of middle-aged and elderly people are rejuvenated and their vitality is doubled; a large number of young and middle-aged women are spotted and eliminated, and the skin is re-wetting. Its magical effect shocked the world. Studies have shown that supplemental nucleic acids can regulate the nutritional balance of the human body and provide health education and anti-aging. The role of disease prevention and treatment, especially for the prevention and treatment of the following three diseases have a significant effect.
3. l Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases This disease is a common and frequently-occurring disease in the elderly. Current conventional treatment methods and conventional drugs are difficult to completely cure. Supplementing nucleic acid nutrition can activate cells, improve the body's metabolic function, increase the ability of protein synthesis, enhance the activity of enzymes, and facilitate the repair of damaged genes. At the same time can increase blood vessel elasticity, promote microcirculation, restore or improve the normal components of the blood, reduce blood lipid levels, activate fibrin to make the patient recover.
3.2 Diabetes is known as the third killer of human health after tumors and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. There are 1.2 billion diabetics in the world, and nearly 50 million diabetics in China. Current medical scientists suggest that diabetes is related to genetic damage. Therefore, by supplementing nucleic acids and repairing damaged genes, normal functions of pancreatic cells can be restored, conditions are created for regulating blood sugar, and play a role in the prevention and treatment of diabetes.
3.3 The main cause of Alzheimer's disease is the partial necrosis of brain cells, resulting in a decrease in brain cells and a decrease in brain function. Although brain cells do not divide in adulthood, nucleic acids can dilate peripheral blood vessels and promote blood circulation in the brain, thereby largely suppressing brain function decline and preventing dementia.
In summary, nucleic acid is closely related to the metabolism of the human body, and its miraculous effects have attracted worldwide attention. The World Health Organization has recommended to the world that adults need to supplement exogenous nucleic acids 1g-2g daily. People, especially middle-aged and elderly people, must scientifically and consciously eat more foods rich in nucleic acids in their daily diet. Nucleic acid is present in the nucleus and can be obtained and supplemented from food. However, traditionally considered nutritious foods do not necessarily contain large amounts of nucleic acids. Such as fruits, vegetables, most of the lack of nucleic acids, beans are rich in nucleic acids. In animal foods, milk and eggs contain almost no nucleic acid, while seafood, hens, and dairy beef are rich in nucleic acids. Nucleic acids in food are present in cells, so many cells have more food nucleic acids and fewer cells have sparse nucleic acids. Such as eggs, although not small, but only one large cell, milk is only the secretion of cattle, these two foods, although rich in protein, but contains very little nucleic acid. The sardine is the most abundant of nucleic acids because it contains more substances needed for the synthesis of nucleic acids. In addition, frogfish, lobsters, crabs, oysters, and animal livers also contain abundant nucleic acids. Second, vegetables such as soybeans, lentils, mung beans, broad beans, onions, spinach, fresh bamboo shoots, radish, and broccoli also contain many nucleic acids and substances that produce nucleic acids. In addition to eating more nucleic acid foods, people can also take highly concentrated nucleic acid nutrients to make up for the lack of nucleic acid in the body, maintain genetic health, delay aging, prevent diseases, and maintain longevity.
