Healthy weight loss supplements can be a great boost to anyones vitamin and mineral levels and may be particularly inviting to those who have recently starting dieting and aren’t too sure of some of the pitfalls.

It is well worth remembering that too many vitamins can be just as bad as not getting enough. TriVita Supplements have an indication on the packaging on what constitutes as too many in a normal diet.

If you eat healthy food regularly and keep an eye on the ingredients, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, and don't forget that eating a variety of foods if essential for healthy weight loss. This is usually plenty enough to get all of the vitamins and minerals you need.

Healthy weight loss supplements do exist, and their is evidence to back up the claims that they help you to lose weight,

If you are think you need to take supplements please speak to a doctor first – some people do have a valid need to take certain vitamin groups such as ill, or elderly people or pregnant woman.

Desperate to lose weight

A few extra pounds helps you live longer, study finds Telegraph.co.UK - Carrying a few extra pounds may actually be good for you, according to a new study which found overweight people live longer than their more slender peers. While the obese or underweight are at greater risk of death, people marginally overweight have longer life spans than those considered to be of “healthy” weight, researchers claim.

The findings defy the commonly held belief that staying slim is the secret to healthy and long life. Scientists examined the relationship between body mass index and death among 11,326 adults in Canada over a 12-year period. They discovered that underweight people were 70 per cent more likely than people of normal weight to die, and extremely obese people were 36 per cent more likely to die. However, modestly overweight individuals were 17 per cent less likely to die, the study showed.

The relative risk for obese people was nearly the same as for people of normal weight, the report concluded. The research was conducted by experts at Statistics Canada, Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research, Portland State University, Oregon Health & Science University, and McGill University.

Commenting on the findings, David Feeny from the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research, said: "It’s not surprising that extreme underweight and extreme obesity increase the risk of dying. But it is surprising that carrying a little extra weight may give people a longevity advantage." However, the researchers also warned people of normal weight not to try to put on extra pounds in the hope of improving their health. "I would not interpret our results as suggesting that if you are normal you should gain weight and get into the overweight category," Mr Feeny said.

Fellow researcher Mark Kaplan, professor of Community Health at Portland State University, added: "Our study only looked at mortality, not at quality of life. There are many negative health consequences associated with obesity, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes."

The researches said carrying slightly more weight than normal may be beneficial in later life because it prevents people from becoming dangerously underweight when faced with health problems.

Sonoran Bloom

I'm a big proponent of preventative medicine rather than curative medicine. If some future medical problem can be prevented by doing something that you have control over, I'm all for it. That's why it's so important to eat a healthy diet, exercise, and take a high quality daily nutritional supplement. Protecting our cells and the systems that protect us, in my estimation, is critical. One such system is the immune system.

In a report from Brazos Minshew, TriVita's Chief Science Officer, he says that "our immune system uses heat to destroy invading bacteria. A specialized cell called a macrophage douses the invader with inflammatory enzymes (like acids) and the heat generated in this battle destroys the invading bacteria."

"Sometimes our own healthy cells become the focus for disease. This often happens because of toxic exposure. When we eat, drink or breathe a toxin, or if it is absorbed through our skin, our detoxification system works to remove it before the poison can compromise our health. Unfortunately, many of today's poisons are simply too strong and they overwhelm our detoxification system and enter healthy cells. These cells now become the target of disease, infection and inflammation. Our immune system must treat them as hostile and use heat to destroy them."

"Autoimmune diseases arise when our immune system becomes so overworked that it can no longer tell the difference between healthy cells and sick cells. It attacks all cells of a particular type equally. This body system is never able to heal and chronic inflammation sets in." [1]

After further review of the immune system, autoimmune disorders, and inflammation, I've found this information on the Medline Plus web site, a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

An autoimmune disorder is a condition that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue. There are more than 80 different types of autoimmune disorders.

Normally the immune system's army of white blood cells helps protect the body from harmful substances, called antigens. Examples of antigens include bacteria, viruses, toxins, cancer cells, and foreign blood or tissues from another person or species. The immune system produces antibodies that destroy these harmful substances.

But in patients with an autoimmune disorder, the immune system can't tell the difference between healthy body tissue and antigens. The result is an immune response that destroys normal body tissues. The response is a hypersensitivity reaction similar to allergies, where the immune system reacts to a substance that it normally would ignore. In allergies, the immune system reacts to an external substance that would normally be harmless. With autoimmune disorders, the immune system reacts to normal body tissues.

What causes the immune system to no longer distinguish between healthy body tissues and antigens is unknown. One theory holds that various microorganisms and drugs may trigger some of these changes, particularly in persons who are genetically prone to autoimmune disorders.[2]

Minchew explains more about toxins and there affects on the immune system.

"When a toxin overwhelms your detoxification process it will likely settle in your weakest system. The immune system melts these polluted cells in an effort to save healthy cells. This is acute inflammation. With chronic toxicity comes the opportunity for chronic inflammation. In the case of chronic inflammation, the immune system attacks any sick cell as well as any healthy cell that looks like the sick one. If the immune system attacks connective tissue we say a person has lupus. If it attacks the beta cells of the pancreas we say they have type 1 diabetes. If it attacks the joints we say they have rheumatoid arthritis.

How do we treat an autoimmune disorder? Medical professionals basically determine the proper procedure.  However, Minchew says that "we simply must reduce our toxic exposure to reduce the chances of developing an autoimmune disorder. And we must also develop emotional coping strategies and have all of the nutrients we need in our body in the right quantity - every moment of every day."

On the medical side of the equation, and according to the Medicine Plus web site, treatments can be as simple as using supplements, or as drastic as blood transfusions.

The goals of treatment are to reduce symptoms and control the autoimmune process while maintaining the body's ability to fight disease. Treatments vary widely and depend on the specific disease and your symptoms.

Some patients may need supplements to replenish a hormone or vitamin that the body is lacking. Examples include thyroid supplements, vitamins, or insulin injections.

If the autoimmune disorder affects the blood, the person may need blood transfusions.

Measures to help with movement or other functions may be needed for autoimmune disorders that affect the bones, joints, or muscles.

Medicines are often prescribed to control or reduce the immune system's response. Such medicines may include corticosteroids and immunosuppressant drugs such as cyclophosphamide or azathioprine.[2]

I don't know about you, but if we can prevent our bodies from contracting this disorder, I'm all for it. With that said, and something (prevention) I believe in, I'd rather follow Mr. Minchew's advice. "We simply must reduce our toxic exposure to reduce the chances of developing an autoimmune disorder. And we must also develop emotional coping strategies and have all of the nutrients we need in our body in the right quantity - every moment of every day."

To me, that sounds like a better option, to "have all of the nutrients we need in our body in the right quantity - every moment of every day."

One way to do get a the nutrients our bodies need is to take a high quality daily nutritional supplement, and drink TriVita's Sonoran Bloom Nopalea® on a daily basis. Combining these two products work wonders to keep your body in top physical shape, right down to the cellular level. Start on the road to preventing unwanted diseases today. Your body will thank you in the future.

TriVita™ is dedicated to helping people pursue healthy living. A trusted health solutions provider since 1999, they develop nutritional products and offer health and wellness services that support the whole person - physically, emotionally and spiritually.

 

The Weekly Wellness Report by Brazos Minshew, TriVita's Brazos Minshew, is chalk full of health information, from preventative medicine to one of the biggest killers, heart disease.

"Around 700,000 people in North America die from heart attacks each year. The most common cause of heart attacks is a blood clot caused by coronary artery disease (CAD). Yet, as bad as CAD is, heart attacks from narrow arteries and blood clots are not the only conditions that cause heart disease. Many heart diseases exist and are preventable with just a little care"

According to the eMedTV web site, "coronary artery disease is the most common type of heart disease. About 13 million people in the United States have coronary artery disease. It is the number one killer of both men and women. Based on 2003 data, 685,089 people died from coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease and stroke (another cardiovascular disease) account for nearly 40 percent of all deaths."[1]

The most common cause of heart disease in North America is high blood pressure; it affects 73 million people in the U.S. alone. High blood pressure may be caused by:

• Disease in the blood vessels that cause them to narrow
• Imbalances in the kidneys, lungs and liver
• Cardiomyopathy - a disease of the heart muscle

The Brazos Minshew of TriVita, Brazos Minshew, says that "some people can reduce their high blood pressure simply by practicing deep breathing. Other techniques include increasing fruits and vegetables, and increasing fiber and water while reducing sodium."

"Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when plaque builds up inside a blood vessel of the heart. CAD affects over 16 million people in the U.S. It leads to angina pectoris - pain caused by poor blood flow to the heart muscles - and is associated with heart attack."

"Coronary artery disease responds well to a low-fat, high-fiber diet of mainly fruits and vegetables. Stress reduction and daily exercise are also effective therapies in combating CAD. Almost all heart specialists recommend Omega-3 oils, such as those found in TriVita's Omega Prime, as effective tools in combating CAD."

"Omega Prime can help reduce the 'stickiness' of blood to protect against clots and may slow down the process of plaque formation. One or two grams are enough to help protect against heart disease, but much more is needed if the heart is already diseased."[2]

Many studies suggest that our bodies have a daily need for Essential Fatty Acids. Research has proven that these EFAs play a key role in helping us to sustain vibrant good health. EFAs nourish the body's heart, brain, skin, glands and joints - and are critical to the hormone production process.

But there is a problem, as research has discovered, our bodies cannot make the EFAs internally. So these critical fats must come from outside sources. And that's where Omega Prime comes into play.

OmegaPrime's EFAs support our wellness in so many ways, starting with helping to reduce runaway inflammation. Many of us don't realize this, but runaway inflammation can lead to various serious health problems in the body involving the heart, arteries, lungs, joints and more.

Plus Omega Prime helps meet the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.

Weight Loss

Desperate to lose weight

Although there are an ever-growing number of diet books, plans and groups, many people just want to achieve weight loss by sensible healthy eating, rather than following a particular fad or fashion. But where to start your weight loss program? Well, the most basic and probably one of the best guides that you have, is your own common sense.

Most dieters these days have already amassed enough information about what is and isn’t good for weight loss, to be able to decide whether or not a particular food is healthy, or is likely to help, hinder or otherwise affect their diet.

Very often it all comes down to a matter of balance. You know that there are certain things that, unless you have particular medical problems, are generally thought to be good foods that can help you to be healthier and lose those extra pounds.

Most dieticians would agree that eating good portions of fresh fruit and vegetables every day is going to be good for you. Also unless you are on a low carb weight loss diet whole grain foods such as pasta, whole grain bread and rice are usually accepted as being beneficial, both generally and for weight loss.

These days drinking is also very much in focus for those who wish to achieve both weight loss and a benefit to their health. It is generally thought that too much alcohol is not a good and may bring about a variety of health problems, although small amounts may not be a bad thing.

Water, especially spring water, is thought by many nutritionists to be very beneficial to the health and there are some who say that it can also be helpful to those who are concerned about weight loss. Some encourage drinking water before meals as this can take the edge from the hunger and will let the dieter have smaller meals without feeling as though they haven’t had enough.

Lean meat and fish and also the occasional portion of oily fish such as salmon, are another group of foods that are usually thought to be beneficial to weight loss and general health. And also seeds, pulses and many dieticians recommend nuts as being beneficial.

There are, of course, many foods that are not generally recommended by dieticians as be effective for weight loss, such as refined sugar products and many fried and especially deep fried foods, such as French Fries. Although a certain amount of olive oil is recommended by many health professionals.

It is of course not just the food that you eat, but the way that you eat it that is thought to have an effect both on your health and your weight loss. Many people skip breakfast but many health professionals believe that this is not a good way, to either start the day, or to achieve any kind of weight loss benefit.

Generally it is a matter of good sense and a reasonable knowledge of what foods are good and should be eaten daily and what are not so good and should be eaten only occasionally. Despite having the ability to work out their own diet many still buy the many diet books that are on offer to have a specific plan to work to.

Some find that it helps to have it written down so that they know whether to eat a particular food or not. But if you want to there is no reason why you should not be able to decide on a good diet and healthy weight loss plan, although it is always a good idea to check with your doctor before you start a new diet.

Weight loss

Desperate to lose weight

So are you obese and everyone is making fun of you behind your back instead of giving you weight loss tips? Or is it that because of your obesity you are suffering from disorders like high blood pressure, diabetes, gout problems and gall bladder problems. If this is the case then you need a few weight loss tips. The following weight loss tips will help you a lot in following a direction in losing your weight.

The first and the foremost weight loss tip is that you should be immensely motivated to lose weight. Do not believe in people who promise to give you weight loss tips that’ll help you to lose enormous weights in a matter of a few days. I can promise you that these weight loss tips will do no more than harm your body. Remember, losing weight is a mind game where many people have bogged down in a few weeks because they did not follow the weight loss tips properly or were given incorrect weight loss tips. Also it is necessary to set realistic goals once you have the weight loss tips. Goals that you can achieve successfully. Many people starve themselves in order to lose quickly. But starving oneself can do more harm as you tend to gain weight quickly afterwards.

A perfect combination of diet and exercise is one of the best weight loss tips that you can ever give someone. Another weight loss tip is that you should avoid fatty, high sugar and oily foods at all costs. This is because these types of foods are the main culprits in building up fat in your body which becomes difficult to burn later. Do eat more of raw vegetables, fresh fruits and salads that are low in fat but high in nutrition value is one of the other most common and easy to follow weight loss tip. Also avoid alcohol and fruit juices high in sugar at all costs. In case of best weight loss tips regarding exercises one should start with light cardiovascular exercises lie stationary cycle, walking and running and then move on to heavier exercises like weight training and weight lifting. Exercising builds up your body’s metabolism and helps to keep your body in shape. Exercise also helps you to burn the fat in your body and improves the body’s resistance to diseases.

Another best weight loss tip that I can think of is that you should follow a particular weight loss program recommended by your dietician. A weight loss program mentions what you should have everyday in the week and provides you with weekly weight loss tips. The weight loss program should be repeated at the beginning of another week. Your dietician might include a set of exercises to be done by you everyday in the weight loss program.
