Your vitamins may be killing you slowly and you don’t even know it. Most vitamins on the market are synthetically made from chemicals. Our body does not recognize these nutrients and therefore needs to detoxify them. What you may not realize is that taking conventional multi-vitamins and minerals from a synthetic source can have a negative effect on your cellular function. This can translate into cancer and other serious chronic diseases. Make sure you take a whole food multivitamin. The label on your vitamin must say 100% whole food vitamin. If it doesn’t, you may be putting your health, and your family’s health at risk.

Urinary Incontinence is a growing concern for many middle-aged women, and men. One of the best solutions is to do Kegel Exercises everyday. This helps to strengthen the internal muscles responsible for keeping the bladder lifted and toned.
Another solution is to take supplements that help to increase the tone of the urinary tissues. Anti-oxidants like VitaFruits and VitaVeggies are helpful, as well as Probiotics from a human source. Probiotics ensure the right balance of good and bad bacteria in the urinary tract, and help to stave off infection in this area.

If you have been suffering from heartburn, you may be deficient in good gut bacteria, or probiotics. We have over 400 species of bacteria in our digestive tracts. Some are good, a lot are bad. It is important to supplement with good bacteria daily to increase the army of good guys and crowd out the bad guys. Heartburn symptoms can often be relieved by supplying enough of the probiotics daily.

Beware of which type of good bacteria you choose. It should be a human strain of probiotic. Human probiotics are naturally present in our digestive tracts. Supplementing with human microflora daily improves our digestion, bowel movements and immune system. For more info go to www.vitatree.ca and look at VitaTree Probiotics.

To maintain a healthy prostate gland, men need to ensure their diet and supplements contain a few key ingredients. The first is zinc. Pumpkin seeds are a whole food source of zinc, an important co-factor decreasing the incidence of prostate enlargement. Pumpkin seeds help regulate urination and maintain the fluid balance in men. Studies have shown that pumpkin seeds contain phytosterols which are responsible for the shrinking of the enlarged prostate gland, and also contain chemicals which halt the conversion of hormone testosterone into the bad testosterone, DHT.
Saw Palmetto is an important herb and is used mainly to prevent benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), enlargement of the prostate gland in men. The plant sterols in Saw palmetto especially beta sitosterol acts to inhibit the growth of the prostate gland by interfering with the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which encourages the production of the bad testosterone, DHT, linked to prostate disease and hair loss in men.

VitaMen’s Formula from VitaTree Nutritionals contains both these ingredients, as well as Maca for libido and stamina and Nettle for the prostate. For more info visit www.vitatree.ca.

The most common complaint I hear in my naturopathic practise is lack of energy and fatigue. We no longer get all the vital nutrients and energy enhancing phytonutrients from our food. Our food has often travelled long distances to reach our plates, and often needs to be picked before it has reached it’s peak ripeness and nutrient density. Often produce is gassed in the supermarket to make it appear ripe for eating. Then we wonder why we don’t feel vital and alive even if we are eating “healthy” food.

The answer is supplementing with high quality whole food vitamins like VitaFruits and VitaVeggies from VitaTree Nutritionals. In this concentrated form, you get all your essential vitamins and minerals in an easy to take capsule. For more info visit www.vitatree.ca.

With the recent recall on Tylenol and Motrin products for children and infants, it makes you wonder how safe these products really are, whether for children or adults. I have cautioned my patients for years against using these products because they often mask and slow down the body’s natural healing process. For instance a fever is a healthy response to fighting an infection in the body. If the fever is suppressed with a medicine like Tylenol or Motrin, the body takes longer to fight off the offending bacteria or virus. There are also toxicity issues for the liver and kidneys with using these common over the counter pain killers. There are better, safer natural alternative. Use fish oils as a natural anti-inflammatory for pain and inflammation. Probiotics (good bacteria) are the best preventative medicine for infections as they ward off bad bacteria by crowding them out of the system.

What one food can you eliminate from your diet and see a dramatic reduction in your cholesterol? Sugar is the answer. Whether it is table sugar, glucose, fructose, and/or high fructose corn syrup, it is important to eliminate or drastically reduce this non-food from the diet to improve cholesterol levels. Most of my patients assume that it is the meats, saturated animal fats and cholesterol containing foods like eggs and shrimp that increase cholesterol. I find however that sugar consumption increases total cholesterol levels. Watch out for VitaTree’s Cholesterol Formula, soon to be launched in Canada.
