Have you ever met a child who can recite the planets backward, solve math problems faster than a calculator, or remember small details everyone else forgets? At the same time, they may find it hard to sit still, struggle to pay attention, or feel overwhelmed by bright lights or loud noises. These are just some of the ways hypersensitivity disorders and ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) show up together—and they’re more closely connected than you might think.

However, when these receptors remain chronically active, they can impact your brain's functioning. They continuously send signals to areas responsible for pleasure, learning, and craving, leading your brain to crave things that trigger these receptors, even if those things are harmful.

Every veteran knows the cost of service doesn’t end when the mission is over. PTSD, chronic pain, anxiety, and addiction follow many home. While trauma and stress play major roles, overlooked factors—like the vitamin A in our food—may be quietly making things worse. It’s time to ask if synthetic vitamin A (SVA) in Meals Ready-to-Eat (MREs) and civilian foods is keeping troops on 'red alert'—and what we should do about it.

Imagine your body as a bustling city. Every system plays a part: your organs are the power stations and sanitation workers, while your nerves are the alarm system keeping order. But what happens if the alarms are stuck on, the fuel tanks are empty, and the streets are full of trash? Chronic stress, modern toxins, and everyday foods can kick-start this cascade, leading to persistent fa-tigue, pain, brain fog, mood changes, and unpredictable sensitivity.

In the age of rapid food production and pharmaceuticals, industrial proteolytic enzymes, or proteases, are used extensively. While these enzymes enhance efficiency in processing, their potency can lead to unintended digestive health issues. Let's explore how these industrial enzymes may affect your digestive system.

Did you know that what you eat can significantly influence your body's stress responses? The positioning of fatty acids within triglycerides, especially when oleic acid is in the sn-2 position, is crucial for protecting the stress activating sensory receptors from potential harm. This post will explore how specific forms of oleic acid safeguards these receptors with practical examples and recommendations.

While the benefits of proteolytic enzymes are substantial, it is essential to acknowledge potential health concerns. At higher concentrations, these enzymes can irritate the digestive system. Research shows that excess proteases may trigger stress responses in the digestive tract, and irritation and damage to the intestinal barrier, increased gut permeability, visceral hypersensitivity, gut dysbiosis, and food allergies.

While we know vitamin A is critical to good health, what is often overlooked is the fact that synthetic forms of vitamin A trigger stress receptors, activating our fight-or-flight response. Chronic ingestion without the fats required to protect the receptors and utilitze the vitamin, will keep us in a perpetual state of stress that leads to damaging inflammation and the development of chronic disease.

As we unravel the intricate relationship between Gibberellic Acid and P-Coumaric Acid, it becomes evident that our agricultural practices have broader implications on human health than initially perceived. The focus has often been on maximizing yields and appearances, but at what cost? Are we sacrificing the nutritional integrity of our food for superficial gains?

One notable effect of Gibberellic Acid on barley malt is its role in lowering p-coumaric acid levels. While this alteration may seem insignificant at first glance, it holds implications for our antioxidant defenses. P-coumaric acid, an essential element in safeguarding our bodies against oxidative stress, is lowered when Gibberellic Acid is used to enhance the malting process. This reduction in antioxidants makes us more sensitive to allergens, pesticides, and environmental t

At the heart of Italy's digestive-friendly cuisine lies a deep reverence for tradition. Unlike many modern food industries driven by profit margins and shortcuts, Italian culinary traditions have stood the test of time, rooted in centuries-old practices that prioritize quality and authenticity. This commitment to heritage plays a pivotal role in ensuring that Italian dishes not only please the palate but also nurture the body.

By understanding how these factors influence thermogenesis and metabolism, we gain insight into potential strategies for optimizing metabolic health and promoting overall well-being. At Tranquility Foods we are committed to helping you understand specific foods and substances we may utilize daily can overstimulate the TRPV1 receptors which lead to the chronic stress affecting weight gain and metabolic health.
