Achieve Better Health With Dietary Supplements
In the year 2005,
more than 187 million consumers depended on daily dietary
supplements to provide the nutrients omitted from the
daily diet...nutrients that are needed to attain and
maintain optimum health.
Maintaining a strong immunity level
built up through proper nutrients can contribute greatly
to keeping you out of the doctors office. On the other
hand, people with low immunity levels tend to contract
many illnesses and often suffer for a longer duration
than healthy individuals.
The DSEA (Dietary Supplement Education
Alliance) found in a recent study (11/05) that certain
dietary supplements helped seniors to live longer and
to live more independent lives.
Further evidence of dietary supplement
benefits are acknowledged by the DSIB (Dietary Supplement
Information Bureau) who also reported that nutritional
supplements help people live longer, healthier lives.
Dietary supplements can also help reduce
healthcare costs in the billions of dollars by off-setting
healthcare expenses through better health attained and
maintained by receiving proper nutrients that are needed
in the body.
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration)
recently issued a health claim for omega-3 fatty acids.
Several other dietary supplements are scheduled to be
added to the list in the near future.
Qualified health claims for dietary
supplements are now being released to the public. As
healthcare costs and health insurance skyrocket, preventive
self care seems to be more widely accepted and practiced.
Many individuals can potentially benefit
from the use of dietary supplements. The following dietary
supplements may be of value to the immune system:
- Vitamin C provides antioxidant to
cells, and may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease
and some forms of cancer.
- Vitamin E may reduce free radical
damage and cut the risk of diabetes, and cancer.
- Vitamin A helps support mucous membranes,
and the skin.
- Selenium may help protect against
prostate cancer and is known as an anti-aging nutrient.
- Coenzyme Q10 may help generate energy
for metabolism.
- Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the heart
and the nervous system.
People that use dietary supplements
can save themselves money, save the healthcare system
money, and in general have a more healthy and productive
life.
Remember...You still have to eat healthy.
Get as many vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fatty
acids in your diet as is possible. But, you can also
consider taking a dietary supplement to make-up for
what is lacking. With soil depletion and other environmental
deficiencies so prevelent, taking dietary supplements
is a good way to make sure that you get all the nutrition
that you may need.
