I wanted to leave a thought or two on how to get more energy into your life.

Our culture constantly reinforces the impulse to do something external when we suffer from fatigue. Do you need to improve your diet and exercise routine? Or perhaps take more supplements? Sleep more? Although all of these things certainly play a role in maintaining energy, I want to explore a different angle, that of your internal emotional state.

Often times, fatigue can be an indicator of apathy. When you feel like you can't improve your life, or that you can't do what you love, when you feel depressed, or lonely, this translate into fatigue. Fatigue has an energy of feeling overwhelmed and depressed.

A new study by the American Physiological Society reports that dietary polyphenols-grape seed, soy and kudzu plant are effective in relieving menopausal symptoms.

Experiments with animals revealed that supplementing their diet with grape seed and soy significantly reduced arterial pressure. The root of kudzu a prolific vine in the southeastern United States, reduced blood glucose, insulin and leptin in animals with insulin resistance, a precursor to type-2 diabetes. The study demonstrated that these natural food supplements are a valuable remedy for postmenopausal women.

For some, vitamin supplementation is a way of life; others feel that if they “eat healthy” there is no need to do anything further. There are, however, several important facts that everyone should be aware of when making the decision of whether to supplement their diet or not. Did you know?

1. Most vitamin pills/capsules pass through the digestive tract only partially digested.
2. Food alone does not provide all of the daily nutrition our bodies need.
3. Vitamin deficiencies are associated with many chronic diseases.
4. Vitamin supplementation plays a role in the prevention of many diseases—heart disease, prostate cancer, osteoporosis.
5. People over 50 are most at risk to suffer from vitamin deficiencies that result in chronic disease.

You want to be healthier, you work out, drink plenty of water, eat fairly well, and take vitamins for insurance measures like millions of others in this country. Your doctor agrees that taking a few supplements should be no problem, but what he or she probably doesn’t know, is that certain medications actually deplete your body of nutrients, and can negatively impact your system.

Having spent 25 years as a biochemical analyst, I have seen many errors on both sides of the fence. It is really no one’s fault, you see, it isn’t that your medical doctor doesn’t care, they just don’t have the means to monitor all of the formulas on the market, be they pharmaceutical or nutriceutical. Most formulation companies are versed solely in their modality and do not make the cross-over to natural or medical. But, it is imperative that the medical community work closely with the supplement manufacturers, some of whom are owned by pharmaceutical companies today, in order to keep us all safer.

Good morning,

In my quest for better health I studied many, many alternate healing methods.

The Bach Flower Remedies were working well. My fears and apprehensions were leaving me. I was using a few drops of several remedies in a glass of water several times a day for maintenance.

I was eating organic and natural foods. Breathing the clean mountain air and drinking only pure natural well water.

I turned my studies to vitamins and supplements. But on the way I discovered a supplement that I knew nothing about. Biochemestry. Dr Schuessler of Oldenberg, Germany recognized that the inorganic constituents of cells were “cell salts.”

They were the builders and workers. Should a deficiency of one of these 12 basic cell salts occur in the body a dis-ease would occur.

Weight loss. I don’t think there’s anyone that would disagree that weight loss is a term gets thrown around an awful lot. You can’t open up just about any magazine without finding those two words put together; it might be on the cover with a bold claim like “lose weight fast”! Or “drop those pounds and get your beach body in shape”, or my personal favorite “foolproof system to have you back in shape in weeks”. Anyone reading this will know that sometimes it is just not that easy. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of different weight loss programmes on the market, and I am certainly not saying that they are all fake. You will find endless testimonials from people because of the simple fact that some of them do work.
