Maintaining a strong immunity level built up through proper nutrients can contribute greatly to keeping you out of the doctors office. On the other hand, people with low immunity levels tend to contract every virus that goes around with even greater intensity, especially during flu season.
The DSEA (Dietary Supplement Education Alliance) found in a recent study (11/05) that certain dietary supplements helped seniors to live longer and to live more independent lives.
Further evidence of dietary supplement benefits are acknowledged by the DSIB (Dietary Supplement Information Bureau) as they stated earlier that nutritional supplements help people live longer, healthier lives.
Dietary supplements could also reduce healthcare costs in the billions of dollars by offsetting healthcare expenses through better health attained and maintained by receiving proper nutrients that are needed in the body.
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) recently issued a health claim for omega-3 fatty acids, and several other dietary supplements are scheduled in the future.
Qualified health claims for dietary supplements are now being released to the public. As healthcare costs, and health insurance skyrocket, preventive self care seems to be more widely accepted and practiced.
Preventing illness and disease through the proper nutrition of a good diet and dietary supplements could go a long way in the war against disease and the high cost of medical attention.
Most Americans are reportedly benefiting positively from the use of dietary supplements. The following dietary supplements are of immense benefit to the immune system.
Some of the benefits of just a few nutritional dietary supplements are listed here.
Vitamin C provides antioxidant to cells, and reduces risk of cardiovascular diseases, and some forms of cancer.
Vitamin E reduces free radical damage, and cuts risks of diabetes, and cancer.
Vitamin A helps support mucous membranes, and the skin.
Selenium helps protect against prostate cancer, and is known as an anti-aging nutrient.
Coenzyme Q10 helps generate energy for metabolism.
Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the heart and the nervous system.
And... Vitamin B, Vitamin E, Calcium, Folic Acid. The list includes so many more that are absolutely vital to a good healthy body. There are way too many to mention here.
People that use dietary supplements are saving themselves money, saving the healthcare system money, and most importantly retaining a healthy body to maintain the healthy lifestyle they are accustomed to for a longer time.
I am not saying that you do not have to eat healthy. You do. Getting as many vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids in your diet through the foods you eat are very important. But with the soil depletion, and other environmental deficiencies, I always look to my dietary supplements as an insurance policy.
For example, if I do not get a sufficient amount of vitamin E on a particular day, the dietary supplement is there to make sure I have the nutrients I need for the optimum efficiency.
So, join me in a toast to a longer healthier life. Go to the kitchen and get your fruit juice and multivitamin of choice.
