What actually is a supplement?
Well, it could be nothing more to take you to "top up" or improve their diet in some way. All we hope is a miracle pill out there that will somehow compensate for our bad eating habits and allow us to carry with them without guilt is not getting enough nutrients. or maybe it's that you take a multivitamin as an 'insurance' against the sniffles. Advertising will tell you what you need this or that pill, but do you really?
in May 2003, President of the UK Food Standards Agency, Sir John Krebs said ... taking some high dose supplements over a long period of time may be harmful . There have been several studies in Denmark last year proposed that the use of some supplements can actually increase the risk of death.
Well, maybe popping a pill is not the answer ...
Of course, it is simply a way to get a shot of nutrients - but it's best for our body
Vitamins and minerals are essential for all of us, but that is , it is important to get them out of what we eat, not from supplements. This is because it will be easier for our body metabolism so that we get the benefits faster. A tablet contains phytochemicals that are naturally found in fresh fruits and vegetables!
phytochemicals are found in most plant foods and have many advantages, including:
* protects our cells against free radicals
* protects our cells against free radicals
...* protects our cells against free radicals
...* protects our cells against free radicals
...* prevent pathogens keep on our cell walls, and
* antibacterial effects
FSA looked at a variety of high-dose supplements and found that one May have the potential to cause cancer, six could have irreversible effects if taken in large amounts over a long period of time, and three may have short-term non-permanent harm. The team at Copenhagen University Hospital looked at five different supplements with antioxidant properties and should have discovered that three of them have the potential to increase the risk of death, whether taken individually or in combination. Other organizations and indicate the risk of taking large doses of vitamins (especially vitamin A) In addition to omega-3 fatty acids.
Their results can be summarized as follows.
Beta-carotene (especially for smokers and those exposed to asbestos) may have irreversible harmful effects if taken for a long time at the highest supplemental doses. Taking beta carotene is associated with a 7% risk of mortality. Beta carotene is converted into vitamin A in the body, under the influence of other nutrients. Vitamin A accumulates in the liver and can be fatally toxic in large quantities. Taking vitamins was associated ss 16% risk of smrtnosti.Preporučeni amount 0.7-0.9mg/day;. Twice this dose can cause serious birth defects and increases the chances of developing osteoporosis
calcium intake above 1500mg/day can cause abdominal pain and diarrhea, but symptoms should disappear if they stopped dodataka.RA 700-800mg/day the non-pregnant adults. Far too much calcium can cause kidney stones.
of chromium as chromium picolinate may have the potential to cause cancer and should not be used. However, getting up to 10mg/day of total chromium in other forms is unlikely to cause harm, although the ideal RA May be much less (perhaps under 0.2mg/day ).
iron intake above 17mg/day may cause abdominal pain and diarrhea, but symptoms should disappear if the supplements are stopped. Women need more iron than men, especially in pregnant women, RA is 7-10mg/day for women over 50 and men. Very large doses can be fatal to anyone, because we can not excrete iron.
Manganese (especially for seniors), nicotinic acid (vitamin B3), phosphorus and zinc, all may have irreversible harmful effects if taken for a long time at the highest supplemental doses.
Selenium is usually to reduce the risk of death in small doses. However, large doses are toxic and may be carcinogenic and harmful to the fetus. Selenium is an antioxidant and may prevent the cellular free radical damage, if taken together with vitamin E (low doses of both). Taking vitamin E was associated with a 4% risk of mortality.
intake of more than 10mg/day of vitamin B6 from dietary supplements unless acting on medical advice, can lead to loss of feeling in hands and nogama.RA is 1-2mg/day.
levels of vitamin C above 1000mg/day can cause abdominal pain and diarrhea, but symptoms should disappear if they stopped the dodataka.RA 60-90mg/day. The researchers found no evidence that vitamin C may increase longevity, but there was no increased risk of death either.
Omega-3, if taken as a supplement, it should be from fish, body oil rather than fish liver oil avoid inadvertently taking extra vitamin A. American recommendations are that the total dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids from fish is limited to 3000mg/day, of which no more than 2000mg/day of nutritional supplements, and it will also overcome any any potential problems from heavy metals that can build up in fish.
Scary, is not it?
is at least Vitamin C is fine, and we need some how to prevent scurvy! But that does not mean you should rush out to buy some pills - Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid, and you know what the excess acid can do to your stomach ... You can get vitamin C from natural citrus fruits, kiwi fruit, berries, tomatoes, cauliflower, potatoes, green leafy vegetables and peppers.
The astronauts have to survive the freeze-dried pellets, but we are country people have the freedom to choose what we eat. Just imagine how much more delicious life can be, trying to varied and interesting selection of food. Much more fun than crunching on a handful of pills ...
To avoid the nightmare too many vitamins, ditch the cod liver oil and try to eat some oily fish instead. Fresh, canned or smoked varieties are all good - try the salmon, sardines, mackerel, trout, herring, eel, sardines or even the kippers! However, Tuna only counts if it is fresh, canning process removes a lot of useful natural oil from tuna.
Basically, if you eat a balanced diet with a variety of fruits and vegetables you should get all the nutrients your body needs to live a healthy život.Malo all, but not too much of any one.
It's really not that hard to eat well - and not have to cost loads either. Just try to put different colors and textures in each meal - different colored foods tend to have different nutrients in them, which is handy! I think the food in their natural state, before I was treated in a microwave ready meal.
for more health benefits, why not grow some of their own food? Even if you only have windowbox, fresh herbs are doddle to grow. I cheat and buy those that are already rising - but if you look after them in recent months
