Simple Steps for Heart Disease Prevention

February 13th, 2012 | Posted by christinem in vitamins and supplements - (0 Comments)

Your heart is the most important organ in your body. It keeps blood and oxygen flowing through your body so that you can survive. If your heart is ill so are you, and it can result in some serious physical issues and even death. Heart disease prevention can be pretty easy to get on top of, with the right easy steps.

First of all, reducing fatty foods can help a lot. Too much fat can lead to clogged arteries and blood clots which can later turn into some deadly issues. You don’t want to have to worry about your blood not pumping the way it should. So stop eating fast food, cut the more fattening snacks out of your diet and replace them with vegetables and fruits as your snacks.

Heart disease prevention is also as easy as getting active. The more you put exercise into your routine, the more you work out your heart and the better it will perform overall.

Vitamins and supplements can also help in aiding your heart. There are plenty of choices, like fish oil, that have been proven to reduce the risk of heart disease. There’s nothing better than putting a little bit of extra good in your body!

When To Move From Children’s to Adult Quality Vitamins

February 13th, 2012 | Posted by christinem in vitamins and supplements - (0 Comments)

When we were kids, we often had those great chewy, fruity vitamins every day shaped like our favorite cartoon characters. And when your little, that’s exactly what you should have. From the ages of  4 to 12, children should not have any more than 50% of the adult recommended daily value. But as your children get older and become young teens, you may consider changing them to quality vitamins like the kind you take as an adult. About age 14 is the average, safe age for them to switch to the kind you use.

This is especially important for boys and girls once they reach puberty, as this is their prime time for getting in those major vitamins they need, to keep growing and become healthy. Calcium and iron are two supplements to really focus on, and a great multi vitamin that covers all the basics.

Quality vitamins are important at all ages, but when they start getting older, it’s really time to make sure they make the switch. Taking vitamins daily, starting at a young age, will make it a habit they’ll be hard pressed to break. They won’t even think about it as they get older, it’ll just naturally become a part of their day.

 

 

Affordable Supplements Make Staying Healthy a Breeze

February 6th, 2012 | Posted by christinem in vitamins and supplements - (0 Comments)

Sometimes we use the fact that we have no money as an excuse for not staying healthy. We complain that organic is just too expensive, that it’s too much trouble to find the healthier foods and then shell out twice as much for them. But when you can find affordable supplements with ease, there’s no excuse for not putting a few good nutrients into your body.

You can definitely fit them into your budget and a bottle of vitamins can last you for a while, especially if they are a daily and you get a bottle with a high count. You only have to worry about buying a new one every month or two, which is way better than spending money every week or more on organic fruits and vegetables.

So maybe you can’t afford all the really fancy, healthy stuff at the  grocery store, but you can at least get affordable supplements. And they can cover a lot of nutrients you need in general, especially multi-vitamins. You can at least can a good deal of your daily needs in one easy to take pill. It’s worth fitting into the budget and the daily schedule, if anything. You’ll feel a lot better for it, physically and mentally!

Sometimes, we don’t eat the necessary foods to give us all the nutrients we need. It could be the options around work are limited, we don’t buy the right things from the grocery store, or we run around with so much to do that we forget to eat.

All you have to do is remember to take them once a day, that’s it. No worrying about what to cook for dinner and no trying to fit in an extra apple when you aren’t even hungry.

Vitamin D3 Supplements Help SAD?

December 1st, 2011 | Posted by kristing in Vitamin D | vitamins and supplements - (0 Comments)

I looked out the window yesterday evening right before I left work. I had been meaning to check if it was raining but to my surprise I couldn’t tell! I couldn’t tell because it was so dark outside. I looked at the clock hoping I hadn’t stayed too late but my computer’s clock read 4:45pm. The sun is going down much earlier than I’m used to.

With the days getting shorter, some people experience a phenomenon called Seasonal Affective Disorder. Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD is a bout of depression that happens at a specific time of year and has been linked directly to the lack of sunlight. Sunlight provides the body with the necessary vitamin d that it needs to thrive. Since it is found in very few foods, most people need to take vitamin d supplements.

It seems logical that if the sun provides vitamin D and when you don’t get enough sun you are prone to SAD, that vitamin D may relieve some symptoms of this disorder. While doctors usually provide light therapy that uses a special kind of lamp to give off vitamin D rays, they are also suggesting that patients begin taking high quality vitamin D3 supplements to help with the affects of the depression.

In these days of shorter sunshine, if you’re beginning to feel a little sad and mopey, perhaps it’s time to add vitamin D to your supplement list so you can start feeling better!

Omega 3 Fish Oil – Hold the Fish

November 22nd, 2011 | Posted by kristing in omega 3 | vitamins and supplements - (0 Comments)

There is nothing less attractive than a burp. Well, almost nothing. What about a burp that smells and tastes like fish? I bet you just recoiled from your computer screen a little didn’t you? It’s a very unpleasant thought. It’s precisely this thought, and the repulsiveness of it, that causes people to avoid taking omega 3 fish oil supplements. But they’re so good for your brain function that you shouldn’t go without them just because you’re afraid of that fishy taste. Here are some tips to avoiding that horrible fish burp.

First of all, you can take your omega 3 supplement right before a meal. That way the fish oil will mix with the other food in your stomach and hopefully cover up that fishy taste!

You can also freeze your supplements to slow the breakdown of the fish oil in your stomach. The omega 3 fatty acids will still be digested and absorbed into your system even if the pill is frozen. Plus, it might make it easier to swallow.

There’s always the option of purchasing an odorless fish oil supplement. They do sell these in the stores with the other supplements and while they’re a little pricier, they may help you get through the day fish breath free.

Don’t stop taking your fish oil supplement just because you don’t like the fishy taste, there are ways to get around that taste and the dreaded fish burp.

Finding the Right Quality Supplements

November 17th, 2011 | Posted by DanielA in vitamins and supplements - (0 Comments)

vitamins and supplementsIt’s important to eat lots of vegetables and fruits. About five servings per day. Many people eat fruits, such as an apple, and forget their veggies thinking that they have done their good deed for the day. Alas, they are only getting some of the necessary vitamins and minerals they need to be healthy. Even if they don’t like vegetables, there are other ways to get those vitamins.

Sure there’s veggie juice and veggie chips, but some people don’t like colorful foods at all. For them, it’s important to take vitamins and supplements. Take a look at your diet. Think about what you lack. Then consider taking vitamins for those specific vitamins. A multivitamin works well, but often you already get a daily supply of calcium and Vitamin C. Look at your health. Are you nails ugly? Vitamin E supplements may be the right decision. Hate carrots and leafy greens? Vitamin A it is! Haven’t been getting much sun and feeling down as a result? Try Vitamin D supplements!

And the list goes on. If you have any specific questions you can find the answers online, and then proceed to buy the according supplement. Don’t skimp either. High quality vitamins make all the difference in your healthy.

Lower Your Cholesterol the Natural Way

November 14th, 2011 | Posted by kristing in lower cholesterol | vitamins and supplements - (0 Comments)

Unless you happen to be a vampire, you probably have a few cloves of garlic in your kitchen pantry. But did you know that you can do more than just make spaghetti sauce and ward off Dracula with that garlic? Studies have shown that you can actually use garlic supplements to lower cholesterol naturally.

Over the past few years, scientists and doctors have worked to find better and more natural ways to bring down what they call “bad cholesterol” while maintaining the “good cholesterol.” A new generation of holistic medicine and a rise of a natural medicine movement have brought about some interesting ways to do so.

Garlic was the first and still most widely accepted and used method of cholesterol control but, just like any medication it has its drawbacks. The supplement can cause bad breath and body odor which, while keeping you safe from those pesky vampires, will not endear you to your co-workers or dinner guests.

You could try artichoke extract which lowers the body’s bad cholesterol while leaving the good stuff behind. But beware artichoke extract can cause an allergic reaction or gas which, again, will not make that first date very comfortable.

The newest way to lower your cholesterol has absolutely no side effects whatsoever. Try putting adding barley to your diet. Doctors claim that this will lower total cholesterol and won’t send your friends running for the door.
