It has been determined by a large medical study that calcium supplements increase the risk of heart attack by about 30%. This may be associated to higher blood calcium levels from supplementation (mostly in forms of calcium carbonate and calcium citrate) compared to dietary calcium - which could lead to hardening of the arteries. Be sure you take in whole food vitamins and minerals, like VitaFruits and VitaVeggies from VitaTree Nutritionals. Whole food vitamins contain small amounts of vitamins, minerals and all the important phytochemicals found in fruits and vegetables that allow for the best utilization and absorption of these nutrients by our body’s cells. They also help to keep the blood more alkaline, which reduces calcium buildup in the blood.

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.

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.
