Nutrition, Food & Supplements
You are what you eat. This is so true
today. And to make things worse most of us eat such poor
diets it is no wonder cancer, diabetes, heart disease &
obesity are issues. Eating proper nutrition is important to
your health and well being.
We live too
short and die too long.
Ask yourself this question, are you looking
forward to a long, healthy and fun retirement? Or are you waiting and
wondering what degenerative disease will be yours to live with till
you die?
It doesn't have to be that way. You can be healthy
into your retirement
Ever hear someone say if I'd known I was
going to live this long I would've taken better care of myself?
Well, you are only given one body. Too
bad we aren't given an instruction manual along with it. But
that is no excuse for not learning how to take care of yourself and
loved ones. You have a lifetime to figure out how to care for your
body. And you only have one go at this, make it your best.
Live long and prosper. (1)
Not knowing how to best take care of yourself
is not totally your fault.
There are huge influences out there that make money if you aren't healthy. And these
influences have a direct impact on the information being given to us
on how to stay healthy. They spend a whole lot of money to get
misinformation out. And in our ever changing fast paced lives,
with the information changing so rapidly it is easy to include
misinformation on purpose. Knowledge is power. Take charge of your
own health and well being.

| Treating Cholesterol with Statin Drugs - treating a problem or creating one?
-
"To date, none of the large trials of secondary
prevention with statins has shown a reduction in overall
mortality in women. Perhaps more critically, the primary
prevention trials have shown neither an overall mortality
benefit, nor even a reduction in cardiovascular end points in
women. This raises the important question whether women should
be prescribed statins at all. I believe that the answer is
clearly no." - Malcolm Kendrick MD |
| Drug Companies -
Forty-five percent (45%) of the US population is taking at least
one prescription drug regularly. There are drugs today
for problems we didn't know we had a few years ago. We
should be trying to stay healthy and avoid drugs. How is this
happening? You want to talk about BIG business

Sick" from the Seattle Times on the next page and that story
about the medical schools. You need to know that information. We
all do. It will change what happens on your next visit to your
doctor. |

failure, according to recently released research. Make sure you
take pharmaceutical grade fish oil. |
| Foods - You are what you eat - The Food Pyramid we have so long been told to use as a
guideline is misinformation at best! It was updated recently but
modified by BIG Business before it was released. Read
More There is a healthy Food Pyramid. |

more wine, yet they have the lowest rates of
cardiovascular disease in the western world and one of the
longest life expectancy. Homocysteine levels also have a direct
relationship to heart attacks. Click here to read more |
| Pop and Soda - More people drink this
stuff than consume water. There is nothing good about drinking
carbonated beverages like pop/soda. Empty calories at best,
poison to your body at worse. And then toss in artificial
sweeteners in the soda to make a bad situation even worse. Want to rot your teeth and
create some health issues for yourself, keep drinking soda pop.
|
| RDA (Recommended Daily Requirement)
- The minimum daily requirements were never meant
to be a guideline as to what an average person needs each day.
The RDA was established as a minimum or floor. Get less than
these levels and you can expect health problems. The RDA's have
been increased
multiple times. Optimum daily needs should be the criteria not minimum.
Minimum daily requirements keep you from getting rickets and scurvy. Optimum
levels can help you stay away from cancer and heart disease.

| Supplements - Do I need supplements?
Don't we get the nutrition we need from the foods we eat? What
vitamins should we be taking? What should we look for in a
supplement? And what is a supplement? What do those labels
actually mean? Does the FDA regulate supplements? Is what we
read or hear from the media really truth? Where does that
information come from? What does your doctor know about the
value of nutrition and supplements? |

Cancer - According to
researchers at the Moore's Cancer Center at the University of
California, San Diego (UCSD) increased levels of Vitamin D3 could

of the equator. |

 "There is a great reference book called
The Comparative Guide to Nutritional
Supplements (Fourth Edition) by Lyle MacWilliam that can
help you choose a quality nutritional supplement. Here are
some things to look for in identifying a quality supplement
brand:
Pharmaceutical
Grade: A brand that follows the pharmaceutical model for
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), not just Food-Grade GMP.
There is a huge difference. Food-grade basically means the
products cannot cause harm and cannot have visible animals
parts. Pharmaceutical model is a whole different level of
quality and standards, and most companies do not follow
these standards.
Potency Guaranteed: Make sure that the product you
select is guaranteed to have in the bottle what is listed on
the label. Studies from Yale New Haven Hospital and Tufts
University Medical School in Boston have shown that many
supplement brands do not have the correct ratios of
ingredients of nutrients to each other, and were missing
some nutrients altogether. In many cases, what it said on
the label was not even in the bottle."- Dr. Ladd McNamara |
