Enzymes play crucial roles in both atherosclerosis and muscle strength. In atherosclerosis, enzymes are involved in the inflammatory processes and the breakdown of blood vessel walls. In muscle strength, enzymes are essential for muscle contraction and energy production.
Enzymes and Atherosclerosis:
Inflammation:
Enzymes are key players in the inflammatory pathways that contribute to atherosclerosis. For example, certain enzymes are involved in the production of inflammatory mediators that damage blood vessels.
Nitric Oxide (NO) Production:
The enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS) converts arginine to citrulline, producing nitric oxide (NO). NO plays a role in regulating blood vessel function, and its dysregulation can contribute to atherosclerosis.
Lipid Metabolism:
Enzymes are also involved in the metabolism of lipids (fats), and imbalances in lipid metabolism can contribute to the buildup of plaque in arteries.
Enzymes and Muscle Strength:
Muscle Contraction:
Enzymes like myosin ATPase are crucial for muscle contraction, breaking down ATP to release energy that powers muscle movement.
Energy Production:
Enzymes are involved in the metabolic pathways that produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell, which is essential for muscle function.
Muscle Repair and Growth:
Enzymes are also involved in the repair and growth of muscle tissue, particularly after exercise.
Specific enzymes mentioned in relation to atherosclerosis:
C-reactive protein (CRP): A well-studied inflammatory marker in cardiovascular diseases.
Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS): Involved in the production of nitric oxide, which is important for blood vessel function.
Specific enzymes mentioned in relation to muscle strength:
Myosin ATPase: Essential for muscle contraction.
Enzymes involved in ATP production: Crucial for providing energy for muscle activity.

Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) is sometimes suggested for digestive issues like gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining). However, it's crucial to note that flaxseed can also cause side effects like bloating and gas, and it's not recommended during active inflammation in the stomach or intestines.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Potential Benefits:
Anti-inflammatory properties:
Flaxseed contains omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, and fiber, which may have anti-inflammatory effects.
May help with digestive issues:
Some studies suggest flaxseed can help with constipation, diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Gastritis:
Flaxseed may help alleviate symptoms of gastritis, but more research is needed.
Potential Risks and Precautions:
Not for acute inflammation: Flaxseed is not recommended for acute inflammatory conditions in the stomach or intestines, according to the University of Rochester Medical Center.
Side effects: Bloating, gas, and diarrhea can occur, especially with higher doses or insufficient water intake.
Interactions: Flaxseed can interfere with the absorption of certain medications.
Raw flaxseed: Raw or unripe flaxseed can be poisonous.
Recommendations:
Consult a healthcare professional: Before using flaxseed for any digestive issue, consult with a doctor or registered dietitian, especially if you have existing inflammation or are taking medications.
Start with small amounts: If recommended by a healthcare professional, start with small amounts of ground flaxseed and gradually increase as tolerated.
Drink plenty of water: This helps prevent constipation and other digestive issues.
Consider milled flaxseed: Milled flaxseed is easier to digest than whole flaxseed.
Avoid flaxseed during flare-ups: If you have IBS or other inflammatory bowel conditions, it's best to avoid flaxseed during flare-ups, says Bladder & Bowel UK.

Mugwort and blackberry are both herbs that have been traditionally used for digestive issues, including diarrhea. Mugwort, particularly through moxibustion, has shown promise in managing irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D). Blackberry, with its astringent properties, is known for its ability to help "dry up" the intestines, relieving diarrhea.
Mugwort:
Moxibustion:
A 2022 study suggests that moxibustion, a traditional Chinese medicine technique using mugwort, may benefit individuals with IBS-D.
Mechanism:
Some research indicates that mugwort might influence the epithelial cells in the intestine, potentially aiding in managing diarrhea.
Blackberry:
Astringent Properties: Blackberry leaves and roots are known for their astringent qualities, which can help to reduce excess moisture in the intestines.
Tannins: The leaves are rich in tannins, which can help relieve acute diarrhea.
Research: A study found that blackberry extracts had hypotensive and vasodilatory effects, which could be related to its effects on epithelial cells.
Other Considerations:
Bilberry:
A cousin of the blueberry, bilberry has also been used traditionally for diarrhea, but only dried berries or juice should be used, as fresh berries may worsen the condition.
Carob Powder:
Rich in fiber, carob powder can be added to hydrating drinks to help manage diarrhea.
Psyllium:
While often used for constipation, psyllium can also help bulk up watery stools and is sometimes recommended for managing diarrhea, especially in cases of IBS.
Herbal Teas:
Chamomile tea, with its anti-inflammatory properties, may also be helpful in calming the digestive system and relieving diarrhea.
Consult a Healthcare Professional:
It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional or herbalist for proper diagnosis and treatment of chronic diarrhea, especially if it's severe or persistent. They can advise on appropriate dosages and potential interactions with other medications.
