subject: Supplementation to Prevent Degenerative Diseases [print this page]

Without science and technology, our lifespan would not have been

increased as much as we experience it today.

However, they were not be able to secure for us our long-term health.

As Dr. Myron Wentz, founder of USANA Health Sciences likes to phrase it:

"We are living too short and dying too long."

Healthy living means:keeping a balanced, healthy diet, avoiding smoking,

excessive use of alcohol and toxic chemicals,taking regular exercise and

supplementing our diet with high quality nutritional supplements.

However, the nutrients have to be in a form that the cells of our body can

except them and the cells have to be in optimum condition to be able to

absorb the nutrients.These are the keys to successful nutrition and two

often overlooked facts.

Maintaining your health is much easier than trying to regain it.

When you are struggling with your health, you can empower your body

to fight and even reverse chronic diseases.

By providing the necessary nutrients at optimal levels, your LDL cholesterol

is more resistant to oxidation, your eyes have greater antioxidant protection

from sunlight and you provide optimal protection for your lungs.

You increase your immune system and antioxidant defence system.

You decrease the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, cancer, arthritis,

diabetes, Alzheimer's, Parkinson disease and more.

People who are suffering from a chronic degenerative disease are under

greater oxidative stress than normal.In this case, optimizers are important

to use in order to support any existing nutritional program.

It's been scientifically proven that there are substantial health benefits in

taking nutritional supplements. The benefits of nutritional supplements

are scientifically verified over the past two years.

Hundreds of scientific studies have proved that nutritional supplements

can significantly reduce the risk of degenerative diseases.

The American Medical Association (AMA) now encourages all adults

to supplement daily with a multiple vitamin. Based on a landmark review

of 38 years of scientific evidence by Harvard researchers, Dr Robert Fletcher

and Dr Kathleen Fairfield, the conservative Journal of the American Medical

Association (JAMA) has rewritten its policy guidelines regarding the use of

vitamin supplements. In a striking departure from its previous anti-vitamin

rhetoric, JAMA (June19,2002) now recommends that, given our nutrient-poor

modern diet, supplementation each day with a multiple vitamin is a prudent

preventive measure against chronic disease.

The researchers point out that more than 80% of the American population

does not consume anywhere near the five to eight servings of fruits and

vegetables required each day for optimal health.

Dr Robert Fletcher, co-author of the groundbreaking JAMA studies, states:

All of us grew up believing that if we ate a reasonable diet, that would take

care of our vitamin needs. But the new evidence, much of it in the last couple

of years, is that vitamins also prevent the usual diseases we deal with every

day - heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, and birth defects.

Most people simply accept the onset of arthritis, heart disease and

diabetes as inevitable results of the aging process -- the truth is, these

conditions are largely preventable.

Health is a matter of CHOISE.

If we chose to make good nutrition - including supplementation -

and an active lifestyle a daily habit, we could add 5 to 15 healthy

years to our lives.

Apart from the future benefits, eating well and exercising regularly

also enable us to enjoy life so much more right now!
