Ever since I can remember my Mom would remind me to take my chewable vitamins before I left off for school, then as the high school years rolled around many different coaches suggested a variety of supplements that should be taken to achieve maximum performance, and now in my later years of life doctors have given me conflicting advice about supplements. In the past it has been recommended to add fish oils to my diet to aid my heart, other minerals have also been advised to complete my diet of nutrients where my diet intake may be lacking, so with this advice I have a Monday through Friday regimen of certain vitamins with extra supplements on the weekend for my more active lifestyle.
Having just moved to a different state, with more sunshine, yeah! I've been seeing a new doctor for about 6 months and his recommendation is none of the above, he suggests the sunshine will provide the amble Vitamin D I need, and if I up my calorie in-take just a bit I should naturally get all the nutrients I need. I'm in a quandary, how can I suddenly stop taking vitamins when I have taken them all of my life- will my body go into shock, or did I never need these extra vitamins in the first place- ugh that would have been a waist of a lot of money; so I ask you, what do you think?
More than 115 million Americans fork over, on average more $30 billion in vitamins , supplements, and powders that have been recommended for years by nutritionists, doctors, health professionals, and even friends of friends who swear by certain products that make them feel better, however was is it all just hype?
Another symptom with in this syndrome is your fasting blood sugar levels- these are your blood sugar levels after a night's sleep or an 8 hour fast. A normal person's blood sugar will taper out a few hours after a meal where as a person with mildly high blood sugar may be showing signs of early diabetes. As many of the risks associated with this symptom run closely together it is easy to assume your triglyceride levels might also be high.
With so many people believing they have to take health supplements this recent study should be giving us a wake up call. While some Americans may need to provide additional supplements to their diet, most people are not only well-nourished but actually need to cut back on their intake of certain foods to curb an all too amply fed body.
Where diseases such as scurvy and rickets are a direct result of inadequate vitamin D and C, you will notice these diseases have all but disappeared and that is due to proper nutrition. In last years Archives of Internal Medicine report, the study highlighted concerns about the long-term use of supplements and vitamins among those people who do not have severe nutritional deficiencies, and recommended that medical experts take another step in their medical exam rooms and ask the patients if they feel they need vitamins, and why. Most patients will listen to their doctor, if doctors will stop pushing for supplements the patient doesn't need the patient will respond.
How to bring out the best in your health- do what feels natural, take advice just as that-advice not law, and use your brain- if you feel better when you take a vitamin supplement then continue, if you really have not noticed a change in the way you feel after taking supplements it might be time to stop taking them or put them on hold for a while. Researchers will continue to do studies and the information shared with the public will continue to change, you must and should choose what works best for you.
