Cheraskin once said “health
care” is really “disease care” and that “modern medicine is
really the fastest growing failing business.”
Thanks
to science, research and our continuous evolution, we have developed
new ideas for healthy living.
We
are each born with
different strengths and weaknesses as well as different levels of resilience.
Our environment may be hostile (bad diet, pollution, exposure to
viruses, allergens, etc.) We know that the risk is high for cancer if we
smoke, regularly drink alcohol, eat meat, take certain drugs and
hormones, and are exposed to exhaust fumes and pollutants.
On the other hand, we lower our risks if we have a high intake of
certain vegetables, fiber, antioxidant vitamins such as beta-carotene,
C, and E, and live in an unpolluted environment.
Evidence shows when plusses significantly outweigh the minuses,
health can be restored.
Vitamin
And Nutrient Factoids:
-
Lack
of Vitamin C is associated with a poorly functioning immune
system. Vitamin C can
detoxify the body of over 50 undesirable substances including
exhaust fumes. Vitamin
C may also be helpful in maintaining bone density and iron
absorption.
-
-
Vitamin
E in a
scientific study showed that among those 67-105 years old who have
ingested Vitamin E on a daily basis, have also
reduced the risk of death from heart attack by 47%. According
to a controlled trial at Cambridge University Medical School, 500mg
of Vitamin E reduces the risk a heart attack in those with
cardiovascular disease by 75%.
- Antibiotics
can cause a Vitamin B deficiency
effect on the body requiring supplements to regain the Vitamin B
balance.
- Tartrazine
is a food coloring that has been known to cause hyperactivity as
well as a Zinc deficiency.
- Frying
food in high temperature oil can destroy Vitamins A and E.
Eating your vegetables raw or as close to room temperature as
possible will preserve not only the vitamins but also vital enzymes
as well.
- Nuts,
seafood, and seeds are high in Selenium.
Selenium is an essential antioxidant.
-
Diseases
such as appendicitis, diverticulitis, colitis, and colon cancer are
the result of Lack of fiber in the diet.
-
Individuals with high blood sugars should
eat vegetables, legumes and whole grains.
- Tea
(black) and coffee cause the body to lose water and minerals.
- Vitamin
D Keeps calcium
in balance.
- Selenium
and Zinc are two
minerals that boost the immune system.
- Walnuts
are a better source of fat than Fish, Eggs, or Chicken.
-
The
best sources of Omega 3 fats are flaxseed and pumpkin.
-
Research has shown that
optimal health required an
ingestion rate of 10 times the established minimum recommended daily
allowances (RDA) of vitamins.
- Vitamin
A is needed in
the maintenance of epithelial tissues and is essential for
reproduction.
- People
with low beta-carotene levels have 30-45% greater chance of
developing lung cancer.
- Vitamin
B-9/Folic Acid
is helpful with conditions such as neural tube defects in
pregnancy.
- Vitamin
B-6 may
be helpful with conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome and
protein utilization.
- Vitamin
B-3
may be helpful with conditions such as high cholesterol and poor
circulation.
- Vitamin
E
has been found to reduce the instances of cataracts, cancer, and
infections.
- Bacteria
in the stomach manufacture Vitamin K.
- 20-50%of
nutrients are lost through boiling food.
- Calcium
together with magnesium is needed to enable nerves and
muscles to function, and assists the blood to clot and helps
maintain the right acid/alkaline balance.
- Magnesium
is a vital
component of chlorophyll and is necessary for many enzymes in the
body, working together with vitamins B1 and B6. It is also involved in protein synthesis and vital for
the production of some hormones including prostaglandin, which is
responsible for its beneficial effect on PMS.
- Excessive
intake of Iron may cause cardiovascular disease.
- A
deficiency in Zinc will produce symptoms of lack of appetite,
pallor, infertility, lack of resistance to infections, skin
problems, stretch marks, and mental or emotional problems.
- The
deficiency of Manganese
is associated with joint pain, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia
and epilepsy.
- Chromium
is a constituent of the glucose tolerance factor along with glycine,
glutamic acid, and cystine.
- Selenium
is the anti-cancer mineral that contributes to glutathione
peroxidase production, which gives it protective properties against
cancer and premature aging as well as being essential for the
thyroid gland.
- Molybdenum
helps rid the body of protein breakdown, uric acid, strengthens
teeth and detoxifies the body from free radicals, petrochemicals and
sulfites.
- Potassium
helps with irregular heartbeat, muscle weakness, pins and needles,
irritability, nausea, diarrhea, swollen abdomen, cellulite, and
mental apathy.
- High
blood cholesterol, fatty liver, nerve degeneration, high blood
pressure, atherosclerosis, senile dementia, and reduced resistance
to infection are a sign of Choline deficiency.
