This deficiency might be a possible reason some people have a certain body odor. Different types of vitamins have the ability to clean out or purge the toxins from your body that might be causing you illness or diseases, therefore, if you limit or restrain the essential amounts of nutrients you need for your body to cleanse itself, then you might have too much toxicity in your body which could be the reason of why you might smell ripe.

And even in you are up to par with your intake of minerals I believe making this post will give you some insight into what each vitamin and mineral can do for you.

First of all, let’s make it clear that we will not be discussing clinical depression. If you suffer from or think you suffer from clinical depression you should seek professional guidance and treatment. Instead, what we will be discussing are forms of depression that are not as serious. This includes seasonal depression, otherwise known as seasonal affective disorder.

Seasonal depression is most obvious during the cold, cloudy, and dark winter months. While this weather can be depressing by itself, there are physical reasons why this depression can set in. During the winter months it can be hard to find as much fresh fruits and vegetables as during the summer. Therefore, it is difficult to get the vitamins that the body needs from diet alone. Also, exposure to the sun provides a boost to some vitamins that help improve your mood. In the winter you do not get near the amount of exposure to the sun as during the summer. (more…)

Remember that famous order from “When Harry Met Sally”? Yes, I know nutritional supplements are not exactly what Meg Ryan’s fellow diner was thinking of–wink–when she said “I’ll have what she’s having.” Still, I think of that line and smile when my patients and coaching clients ask, “Roberta, you’re always so energetic and healthy. What supplements do you take to prevent getting sick?”

Please note that you should consult your doctor before adding any supplements to your diet. It is possible that some nutritional formulas could interfere with medications, especially if you are diabetic. That said, today I’m happy to share with you five key components that “I’m having.” (more…)

Omega 3 Fatty Acids (such as fish oils, flaxseed oil and algal oil). Although you can increase your intake of Omega 3 from fish like salmon, tuna, halibut, and certain plants and nuts, if you suffer from this disease you may wish to significantly increase your intake through supplementation. Benefits of Omega 3 Fatty Acids include the decrease of inflammation as well as relief from joint tenderness and stiffness. Permanent supplementation of Omega 3 Fatty Acids will work well against this particular disease but also the rest of your body, from your heart to your blood circulation (they are mild blood ‘thinners’). Make sure you buy the type derived from anchovies and similar fish and, very importantly, that it’s been purified or ‘distilled’ (namely, that the mercury has been removed). Interestingly enough, during a holiday we bought our fish oil capsules in Italy (at a pharmacy) and it was absolutely the best omega 3 fish oil we ever took (we actually felt the difference in our body almost overnight); when we came back home we started to read the labels seeking the same good quality omega 3 fish oil.

The body needs a lot of nutritional needs to stay healthy and keep away from certain types of diseases. Enzyme deficiency as studies found out is a cause of certain metabolic diseases. Long term enzyme deficiency can cause the body to not absorb nutrients from foods consumed which is very important to the body. Symptoms that appear in persons lacking enzymes in the body are like those symptoms of GERD. And it may include cramping, heartburn, acid reflux, gas build-up and bloating. Enzyme insufficiency can brought about certain health problems; it drains energy and hinders one from doing usual activities.

The enzymes present in the body gradually decrease as one enters into ages 30 and above because what is left of the energy levels in the body is distributed in the different parts of the body that has problems of some sort. A body that has high digestive enzymes is more likely to have the ability to renew damaged cells and regenerate those dead cells which makes the body able to grow and heal itself. A rapid decrease of enzymes in the body can cause immune system to bug down whereby causes one to age at increasing rate. (more…)
