Weight Loss Supplements Worth a Look

Thursday, December 31, 2009

Vitamin D - get 1,000 IU through fatty fish and fortified cereal, juice, and dairy products or a D's supplement daily.

Healthy Bonus: Vitamin D fights cancer and helped your body absorb bone-building calcium.
----------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
------------
Prebiotics - Aim for 4 to 20 g daily from foods such as garlic, onions, artichokes, and fortified yogurt, or supplements.

Healthy Bonus: Prebiotics stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria (probiotics) in the gut to regulate digestion.
----------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
-------------
Calcium - Get 1,000 to 1,200 mg daily from low-fat dairy and leafy green vegetable or a 500 or 600 mg calcium carbonate or citrate supplement taken twice a day.

Health Bonus: Calcium builds and maintains strong bones to prevent injury and osteoporosis.
----------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
------------
Multivitamin - Eat plenty of colorful fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains, and lean protein daily, and take a multi that provides no more than 100% of your daily value for each nutrient.

Healthy Bonus: The wide range of nutrients in multivitamins plays a critical part in immune function.


For the Year 2010 I will be adding more of the Prebiotics to my diet as the others I'm taking now.

    Through hard work, I have acquired a taste for yogurt and usually have yogurt for breakfast. I use plain yogurt in place of sour cream. I make dips for my family with yogurt and I don't tell them the difference.

The Juice That "Out-Cs" OJ

Thursday, December 31, 2009

An apple juice a day may keep the doctor away, according to Spanish researchers. When they used a new, more accurate technique to analyze the levels of vitamin C in 17 fruit juices and soft drinks, apple juice came out on top-beating orange juice by as much as 14 mg per ounce. Extra ascorbic acid may have been added to the apple juices during production to increase levels of vitamin C, say researchers.

Look for 100% apple juice (with no additional sweeteners), and stick to 8 ounces.
