An Important Part of Health and Wellness
Focusing on health is one of the most frequently made New Year’s resolutions. From weight loss to eating more healthily to regular exercise, we vow to begin a new journey to wellness as the new year begins. Each of those resolutions has value and can improve our overall well-being. More importantly, as one commits to a new health journey, it’s an excellent time to educate oneself about other avenues that support health.
Peptides
There is an abundance of research related to peptides. Although, for many, the concept of peptides is fairly new and seemingly trendy, the benefits of peptides have been explored since the beginning of the nineteenth century. In 1901, after approximately a century of research about them, Ernest Fourneau, a French chemist, began work to fully understand the importance of peptides in our bodies.
Peptides are small chains of amino acids. Amino acids are made of proteins which are essential to all functions that keep the human body alive. Amino acids are usually chains of between two and 50 amino acids that provide essential and beneficial functioning to our bodies.
Some of those functions are:
- Digestive function
- Immune system response and function
- Regulation of hormones
Clearly, peptides are an essential part of good health.
What do They do?
Peptides are incredibly interesting and diverse. They are part of innumerable physical functions. They are often used in anti-aging skin care, but they also have been shown to:
- Have anti-inflammatory properties systemically and for skin
- Provide benefits for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases
- Support those with autoimmune conditions
- Have a positive impact on high blood pressure
- Are beneficial in wound healing
- Serve as antimicrobial and antiviral agents
- Support proper immune function
How Do I Get Some of This Goodness?
Peptides are found in many foods. We can benefit from peptide absorption by including the following foods in our diets:
- Oats
- Hemp
- Milk
- Lentils
- Shellfish or other fish
- Other foods high in protein
