We all want to look and be our best. We want the correct stuff to go in our bodies. Good healh and good vitamins are part of the package we are looking for.
We want to eat the right things and watch our weight.
Vitamins are very important for our body. We need at least a daily vitamin each morning and the extra supliments as we need them.
Some people pop a multivitamin daily (or at least when they remember to take it), while others religiously swallow a whole cluster of vitamins that range from A to zinc. No matter what your preferred method, there's no denying that there's a lot of misinformation surrounding these little pills.
Get the facts behind 10 common supplement-taking scenarios, as well as expert advice on what you should (or shouldn't) do when it comes to getting the most out of your vitamin supplements.
Let's take folic acid, an artificial form of folate, the most oxidized form of folate that may be effective for some people. About 50% of population can utilize folic acid to the biological limit of conversion
, about 800mcg per day. Another 30% of people can convert less. About 20% of people can't convert folic acid to active methylfolate at all. In at least some of these people folic acid, and also in some people, folinic acid (found in vegetables) actually blocks at least 10 times as much methylfolate from being usuable. So for some people, taking folic acid and/or folinic acid can cause actual folate deficiencies, a paradoxical folate deficiency. I speak from experience in this. Taking folic acid damaged me considerably and being a 20 year vegetarian almost killed me. As a vegetarian I was dependent upon cyanocobalamin for b12 and my body can't convert it to the usable natural active forms, methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. So it was a double whammy. At a minimum 20% of the population has at least a problem with folic acid. For these people then even a multivitamin may cause folate deficiency or at least not suppley folate.
It is always better to try to get the vitamin from a food or from where it is supposed to come from. Plant foods contain thousands of phytochemicals like lycopene in tomatoes, resveratrol in grapes and curcumin in tumeric. Someone was asking about the phytochemicals in broccoli. It contains indole-3-carbonyl but also sulfurophane.
Both of these fight cancer. But the amount of sulfurophane in broccoli can vary and the broccoli sprouts have the highest amounts. So a group of doctors at John Hopkins bred broccoli sprouts to have very high amounts of it and patented it. They sell it in supermarkets under the name Bracco broccoli sprouts. Supplements cannot contain thousands of phytochemicals.
One of the country's leading experts on vitamin D (that is a hormone) is Dr Michael Holick. His book on vitamin D says that it is better to get vitamin D from the sun since you get other things from the sun that helps it to work better. But since many are too far from the equator he uses vitamin D supplements on patients that include people and zoo animals.
And so on.
And you want to eat well. Eatting raw may be the answer. So try this diet. It can give you back your energy "How you heal anything is how you heal everything."
