Organize Your Health

When people think of organizing, they seldom consider their health. Now that we’re into 2008 and our New Year’s Resolution of exercising more often has ran it’s course, as well as waiting for
that intellectual scientist to create the perfect magic pill that will make us look better and feel better, the realization that it’s not going to happen is discouraging. So Let’s Talk Nutrition Counting on ourselves to make improvements to our health is the only logical solution. Here are a few predictions that can put us on the right track for 2008. With all the superbugs that are going around such as strep, MRSA, bird flu, etc., what can we do? Establish a strong and healthy immune system starting with a good multiple along with a supplementation of vitamin C and zinc. Research is also leading towards herbs to support the immune system. Echinacea, Garlic, and Goldenseal are three of the top herbs and work best when you can find them in one formulation. As the bulges around our waistlines continue to become larger and we grow weary of those “fad” diets, the nutrition part of weight loss is starting to gain a momentum with Americans. Reduction in overeating and obesity can be curbed by providing the body with the correct nutrients it needs to sustain daily activity. Talk with your physician about developing a nutritional program that strikes the five keys to weight loss (caloric-intake, deficiency, acid factor, immune and activity). Including protein, vitamins and minerals in your diet will effectively curb your appetite while maintaining excellent health. The number one factor inducing health problem is STRESS. The body becomes susceptible to infection and disease during periods of extreme stress. An antidote to the effects of stress that continues to gain acceptance is the use of B-complex vitamins. A major key to good health and a longer life is good nutrition. It’s up to you to organize your life for the better in 2008. But remember, before changing any of your diet or exercise program, consult with your physician in developing an effective plan that will work for you.
