Chemical composition of human body – Understanding

In order to fully understand the mechanisms of human physiology, it is important to have an understanding of the chemical composition of the body but since this will take pages and pages, it is beyond the scope of this blog.  For the time being let us remember the following.  The human body is a complex piece of machinery and all these are kept running by a large number of small moving parts.  At the center of all those moving parts are molecules, the smallest of atoms that perform a function.  At any point of time, all sorts of complicated processes is going on in your body, and a lot of them are carried out by incredibly powerful molecules.  Here we are going to talk about the five of the molecules that keep you ticking.

Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is the only largest molecule in our human body and it is utilized every time our body produces a new cell, which it does two trillion times a day.

Pepsin is an enzyme responsible for digesting proteins in food and breaking them down into amino acids.

Hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells, is tasked with the life or death responsibility and carries oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs.

Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, is not technically considered a macromolecule because it is small, but it has an important role to play in the human body. In fact, when it comes to the release of energy within the body, there’s no molecule more important than ATP.

Cholesterol is often tied to an increased risk for cardiovascular issues, such a heart attack or stroke. However, it is also responsible for producing hormones and chemical messengers that regulate processes that don’t need to happen all the time.

New Branch of Medicine touted to be a hidden movement and is gaining prominence across the world - 1

Even though Functional Medicine has been touted as a hidden movement, the pace at which it has moved over the years indicates that there is not much support and the mainstream medical community have not accepted it completely and neither the big pharmaceuticals have shown any interest in it and the reason for this is there is no money in it for them continuously as conventional medicine otherwise it would have become the sought after medicine in this modern technology world as it would cure instead of just treatment.  One reason for this is that our society, governments, education system have already feed this information to us that since childhood that conventional medicine is the only best choice out there for any medical condition and anything that go against conventional medicine belief is treated prehistoric practices and which does not have any scientific proof to back it up.

Though we have got the Functional Medicine started up long time ago, in spite of not recognizing that the main contributor of this idea comes from traditional medicine or the alternative as we call it, still it is not too late if we can bring this Functional Medicine focus on cause spear head a movement that will going forward cure many an autoimmune disease or cancer that is purportedly not curable by conventional medicine.  As the saying goes, it is never too late to start again.  Hope better sense prevail for the betterment of human race and continue not to take advantage or make money out of human sufferings.
