This is an historic day.The FDA approved Harvoni, a drug for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with high cure rates and mild side effects. Understandably, patients are anxious to get started on treatment. However, there are things you need to know about Harvoni before you can start.
Eating quinoa every day can help you live longer. Starting the day with a bowl of porridge or chowing down on a portion of quinoa for lunch, can actually increase your life expectancy. In fact, the Harvard Public School of Health's research found that all whole grains can help you live longer.
Quinoa is one of the only good grain sources of lysine. Your body needs a total of 20 amino acids to function regularly, although only nine of these have to come from dietary sources. Grains contain all of these essential amino acids in varying concentrations. As such, you can hypothetically meet all of your daily essential amino acid needs with grains. However, as most grains lack in one or more of these compounds, you would need to eat an excessively large number of servings each day to do so.
