Health Guidance

Weight is almost a constant obsession with Americans. We fear the scale, and judgmental stares. We secretly believe that being overweight or obese is because of our lack of self control. Sometimes we become angry at ourselves or depressed because of our weight. Body dysmorphic disorder is a condition that is common in the United States. This is manifested by a person’s fixation on their physical appearance and small or nonexistent flaws. This is considered a psychiatric disorder that is growing in prevalence. Surveys show that more than 85 percent of Americans believe that they should lose weight.

However, sometimes we reach a point where we have little control over our weight. Of course we need to be healthy. We should work to avoid obesity or get ourselves safely out of it, because it is a serious danger to health. But other than that: exercise regularly, eat nutritiously and balanced meals, take a good multivitamin, and give yourself a break. There are many factors about our weight such as genetics and environment that we cannot control. Many people will never have the body of a model no matter how hard they work for it and that is all right. Most models are airbrushed and starving.

This knowledge was not lost on the ancient Indian and Chinese healing philosophies like the Ayurvedic herbal remedies which are still practiced to this day in India and around the world. Continue reading ‘How To Ensure The Correct Curcumin Dosage’ »

Did you know that most vitamins sold on the market are isolated synthetic chemicals? Did you know that vitamin C exists nowhere in nature as ascorbic acid? If you want to get your hands on real vitamin and mineral nutrients – read on.

IT’S TIME TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

• Vitamin C is not Ascorbic Acid
• Vitamin E is not Alpha Tocopherol
• Vitamin A is not Retinoic Acid

What you believe are vitamins, are in fact synthetic chemicals, this is one of the reasons, why you should be enhancing your health through the consumption of a multivitamin and mineral in a food matrix.

Mutivitamins

Most of us need to be taking a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement to ensure your health is at an optimum level. Many of the essential nutrients our bodies need cannot be made internally and can no longer be found in most of the foods we are eating. In particular our soils are quite depleted of minerals which can be seen in scientific studies carried out over decades.

The intake of vitamins and minerals varies from person to person, but there are some groups who are more nutrient-lacking than others. New scientific studies are seeing that we even have a genetic code that tells what nutrients we need more of as individuals.

Disease Linked To Vitamin Deficiency

All disease on some level is nutrient deficiency disease. When you are low in nutrients disease will arise. You will have immune problems if you are low in zinc, diabetes if low in chromium and cancer if selenium is lacking. These are just a few examples. Therefore taking vitamin and mineral supplements can safeguard your health. However they have to be real ones and not chemicals.

1.1 Advanced Ambrotose

If your body cannot communicate about what to do with the nutrients that come into it, you will have minimal benefit from it in the sense that your body might just not recognize it to be useful to your body and then pass right through your body without absorbing it or the nutrients might not be going to the areas that it need to go to for your benefit.

Antibiotic-Resistant Disease Killing Humans and Swine

The antibiotic-resistant bacteria Extended
Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL) is killing both
people and swine in Denmark.

The bacteria has been implicated in the deaths
of a number of cancer and liver disease
patients. The number of infected patients
jumped 50 percent last year.

Health officials said the bacteria is being
transmitted to humans through pigs. The
increased use of antibiotics in agriculture may
be behind the spread of the resistant strain.

What are ESBLs?

Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs) are
actually enzymes produced by certain types of
bacteria, which renders the bacteria resistant
to the antibiotics commonly used to treat them.

ESBLs were first discovered in the mid-1980s. At
the time they were mostly found in the
Klebsiella species of bacteria, in hospital
intensive care units. Until recently, few people
were affected by these mutated bacteria and it
didn’t appear to be a major growing concern. Continue reading ‘Antibiotic-Resistant Disease Killing Humans and Swine’ »

It would be nice to think that as we get older we become wiser, and so make better food choices for ourselves. After so many years of exposure to information about eating a nutritionally balanced diet, you’d think that we’d know all about how to prepare healthy meals, and that we’d have had plenty of practice doing so.

Sadly, however, that’s not always the case. This means that many seniors don’t get the vitamins and minerals they need to help their aging bodies fight off the onset of various debilitating conditions, or the signs of aging. Bodies become less efficient as we age, and they so they don’t do as good a job of processing nutrients. A lot of seniors also tend to get ill more easily, and so often take a lot more medications than other age groups. These medications can also reduce the body’s ability to break down nutrients.

It’s common for seniors to live along, and it can seem like a big effort to make a meal at all, let alone prepare a nutritionally balanced meal. It’s also true that many seniors don’t do any moderate exercise regularly, which helps compound the problem. So it’s hardly surprising that many seniors exhibit vitamin deficiency symptoms. Despite our highly advanced society, many of our seniors are classified as undernourished.
