A Daily Super Vitamin Pak

I am always reading what I find about vitamins, minerals and supplements, and I just came across an idea that I like a lot. In order to make sure that I have everything I need to stay healthy and in good condition.

I found a product by Beverly International called a Super Vitamin Pak. When looking at all the supplements and vitamins contained it seems like every cell in my body relies on some component of the Super Pak to function at peak levels. What also is neat is that they come in individual daily packets.

Beverly International is a brand that I trust and I use their products like Joint Care already. The Super-Pak contains just about all our vitamin needs in one packet, taking it once daily is much easier than opening multiple bottles. I would probably need around 10 different supplements to equal what is in each pack, or taking individual tablets with each meal.

Some of the vitamins they have are B-Complex and C, which provide optimum effectiveness all during the day and night, and are also associated with muscle growth. The antioxidant nutrients C, E, and Selenium are present in potencies that reduce the free radical barriers to muscle recuperation, repair and growth.

I get my supplements online, where I can find a large variety of nutritional supplements at extremely discounted prices. Check it out for yourself at Supplements To Go.

There is a coupon code I always use vip5off that allows me to get an extra benefit of 5%, which pretty much takes care of the shipping costs also. Try it for yourself!

Start Early To Build Healthy Habits

Think back to your childhood... Do you find yourself eating things that you ate while a kid? Remember …You are what your parents were when they trained you. Do you have your parents mannerisms, likes and dislikes? If you analyze yourself you will find that parents and grand parents have a major impact on how we eat as adults. But it's not all on them. As adults we need to make a life change on our own.

When I was growing up mom and dad would not let us have candy except on special occasions, and then only a little. I found myself telling my kids the same thing as they were growing up.

So the bottom line is that the example we give our children, like living a healthy life style will follow them into adulthood. If your children see you taking care of your body, they will want to do the same.

Stress the importance of a balanced life, rather than wanting to look like a cover model. Because I don't know about you, but I would rather be healthy as an ox without a beautiful body, than ill and beautiful. But in most cases, healthy people look healthy.

Good Morning Sunshine

I saw a health tip on television that mentioned that Vitamin D can be good for your legs. If your level is too low there is an increased risk for Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) or blood clots in the legs. The news item referenced a recent study in New York by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

The researchers found that being older, female, and nonwhite, having diabetes, a current smoker, and having a higher body mass index were all independently associated with a greater risk of being vitamin D deficient, while greater physical activity, vitamin D supplementation, and evaluating subjects in a non-winter season (greater exposure to sunshine) were all associated with higher levels.

Vitamin D is called the sunshine vitamin. It is naturally produced by the human body when we are in direct sunlight. When we started working indoors and started to wear more clothes when in the sun, it lowered the natural production of vitamin D and caused deficiency diseases.

When it was uncovered that supplements of Vitamin D would prevent or correct some of these diseases, vitamin D was added to the growing list of vital nutrients.

Data indicates that 3 out of 4 people these days do not get enough vitamin D3 in their diet. The daily recommended intake for this vitamin is set to between 400-600 International Units (IU), and it probably too low. Many doctors feel that 1000 IU per day is probably a better number.

One way to get more of this nutrient is to drink three to four glasses of vitamin D milk a day. As a treat for the cold winter months one suggestion is to flavor it with vanilla or chocolate and drink it warm. Another idea would be to go online and choose a vitamin D3 Supplement. This is generally a low cost alternative to a grocery store.
