subject: Unknown Nutrients That Can Save Lives [print this page] Im going to guess that you already know that right now there are some natural nutrients that are not very well known that can be extremely helpful. The term natural is a very good term that defines something that comes from nature and works with someone's system rather than fighting it. Something not natural would be something like prescription drugs which not only creates some unwanted side effects but actually induces the creation of free radicals. A major reason free radicals should be feared like a disease is because they can cause a whole bunch of destruction and damage.
One of these hidden herbs is something called alfalfa. Alfalfa was first discovered by Arabians when they fed it to their horses and interestingly has a root system that reaches extremely far into the dirt. If your ever wondered what alfalfa herb powder is because maybe you have seen it on a store shelf its basically the healing properties of this plant grinded down into a powder. Alfalfa can reduce bad cholesterol, which is LDL help with digestion and assist with improving the immune system.
Beta glucan is another natural remedy that can do some amazing things for someone and I'm going to talk about a few of them next. Some of the best beta glucan products being sold can enable someone to have a superior immune system. It's no surprise that having a strong immune system can help someone in a number of ways because someone is constantly being attack from unwanted visitors. If your immune system went on strike or fell asleep at the wrong time than as you can probably imagine all kinds of harm can be done. Beta glucan is found in the cell walls of various yeast, fungi and seaweed and is one of these natural medicines that many people dont know about.
lastly I would like to talk about a herb that is probably not unknown to you and it's called folic acid. A big reason that I'm talking about folic acid is because this herb can prevent some nasty things from happening and a lot of people don't fully realize have powerful it is. If youre wondering is it ok to take folic acid daily than the answer is a big yes. Instead of thinking that folic acid is going to give you many great health benefits consider how damaging it could be for you if you don't get enough of it. For example low levels of folic acid have been linked to macular degeneration, strokes, cancer, blood vessel disease and heart disease. Lastly if a girl who is pregnant does not get enough of this mineral in just might increase the risk of her giving birth to a child with a neural tube defect by as high as 70%.
