- Folic Acid Every Day
Be smart about your health every day-take a vitamin with folic acid. Just about everyone needs to take a vitamin with folic acid every day. Folic acid is an important vitamin that is recommended for all men and women.
Women especially need folic acid every day to reduce the risk of birth defects such as spina bifida-especially since more than half of all pregnancies are not planned. Even if you are not planning to become pregnant, your body needs folic acid every day. Taking folic acid before and during early pregnancy reduces the risk of spina bifida and other serious birth defects up to 70 percent. - African-american Women Empowered To Stay Strong In Spirit And Strong To The Bone
With a strong mental and spiritual framework, African-American women must also support their bodies' framework: their bones.
Active, healthy lives depend on beautiful, healthy bones and healthy bones depend on calcium. While calcium and vitamin D together are needed in the body to help maintain strong, healthy bones, 70 percent of all women ages 51 to 70 and nearly 90 percent of women older than 70 aren't getting enough vitamin D. And African-American women are at higher risk. African Americans consume the lowest amounts of vitamin D from food alone among different ethnicities, and as many as 75 percent of African Americans are lactose intolerant, possibly further limiting the consumption of calcium and vitamin D-fortified dairy products. Yet nearly two-thirds of African Americans mistakenly believe they are getting enough vitamin D. - The Beauty Of Keeping Resolutions
Every New Year's people make the same resolutions: stop smoking, pay off their debt and lose weight. But old habits die hard, and within days most of these resolutions are out the window.
So why is it that, despite our best intentions, most resolutions fall short? - Folic Acid For Yourself And For Your Family
Here's an easy way to be good to yourself-take a multivitamin with folic acid every day. Folic acid is an important nutrient for men and women. Everyone needs it to create healthy new cells every day.
Women especially need folic acid, because taking folic acid before pregnancy reduces the risk of Spina Bifida and other serious birth defects up to 70 percent. - Dry Eye, Dry Mouth And Diet
There's good news for the estimated 15 million Americans who have the condition known as dry eye, as well as for those who have dry mouth.
It's well known that omega-3 essential fatty acids offer a wide range of health benefits including reducing the risk of sudden death from heart disease and stroke. Now a new study has shown that a unique omega-3 supplement, TheraTears Nutrition, is helpful in relieving symptoms of dry eye and dry mouth. While most omega-3 supplements contain either flaxseed oil or fish oil, TheraTears Nutrition contains a blend of both flaxseed oil and fish oil that work together synergistically to improve tear and salivary function. Flaxseed oil has been shown to thicken the oil layer of the tear film, reducing evaporation and preserving tear moisture, while the two oils together improve tear and salivary function. - The Benefits Of Berries-in A Shot Glass
Recently, a new study led by UCLA's Center for Human Nutrition showed that berries of all kinds-such as raspberries, blueberries and blackberries-can help to provide your body with the defense it needs to protect against various forms of cancer. The study went on to identify that berries can be an excellent approach to inhibit the promotion and progression of carcinogenesis and to remove genetically damaged cells from the body.
Although berry sales have skyrocketed by up to 130 percent, buying whole berries may not be the only way to get your "berry-licious" health-promoting goodness into your body. - How Do You Know If A Supplement Works?
Contrary to what many people think, dietary supplements are regulated-and that's good news for anyone looking for a safe way to slim down.
One reason people think they are not regulated is that dietary supplements are regulated in a different way than drugs are. - Vitamin C: Help For Teeth And Gums
Antioxidants: They're not just for mealtime anymore.
While recent research has suggested that antioxidants can play an important role in keeping the body healthy, these all-important compounds have largely been limited to food and nutritional supplements. However, that has been changing, as antioxidants have begun appearing in a variety of products-from cosmetics to oral care-bringing the antioxidant power straight to the surface, where it can be more efficient. - Dietary Magnesium: What You Should Know
When it comes to maintaining your health, a number of studies show that magnesium matters.
Yet the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) reports that seven out of 10 Americans are below the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for magnesium (it's suggested that adult males get about 420 milligrams [mgs] and adult females take in about 320 mgs). One reason may be that dietary intake alone is sometimes not high enough to promote an optimal magnesium status. - Probiotic Vitamins Help In Reducing Digestive Stress
If you can't stomach digestive stress, you're not alone. As many as one in five Americans suffers from symptoms of digestive stress, such as cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, constipation and diarrhea. According to health and nutrition experts, a new and effective way to combat everyday digestive disturbances and enhance food digestion is to supplement one's diet with probiotics: naturally occurring good bacteria that live in and protect our digestive systems.
"Taking probiotics every day can have significant health benefits, including enhanced digestion of food and protecting the body against life's daily stressors," says dietitian Kate Geagan, MS, RD. - While The Egg Came First, This Supplement Delivers
A new dietary supplement may be eggs-actly what the doctor ordered. Called "hyperimmune egg," the patented nutraceutical is produced naturally by grain-fed hens that lay eggs that are scientifically fortified with 26 antibodies and other immune factors.
The superenriched eggs are formulated into a powder called i26, which is consumed by itself or blended into a variety of different health products for sports performance, weight management, children and pets. - New Supplement Line Designed For Vital, Active Baby Boomers
Baby Boomers are known as the "forever young" generation and some Boomers are wholeheartedly taking steps to stay healthy and active in their pursuit to live life to the fullest. A recent survey revealed that a significant subset of Boomers is taking proactive measures to maximize their vitality. These measures include staying up-to-date on the latest health information and taking nutritional supplements to promote overall health, wellness and vitality. According to the survey, this group has been dubbed "Generation V" largely because they define themselves by their ability to remain vital and active in order to continue doing the things they enjoy, throughout their lives.
The Bayer Nutritional Science line provides good news for Gen V'ers-and those who love them. The innovative new line of nutritional supplements unites science and nutrition to help this active group maximize their vitality. With five unique science-based formulations to support heart, mind, eye, and joint health, as well as a daily multivitamin, which supports body and cell health, Boomers can have trusted products that are right for them.
