People are Being Proactive about Improving Their Health

People are Being Proactive about Improving Their Health
Attitudes are shifting throughout the country from health
care, often called sickness care, to wellness care. The
shift continues from treating disease and illness to
prevention. A healthy diet, moderate exercise, and now
more importantly, nutritional supplements, are providing
the three keys to improving our health. When these three
are combined many of us are experiencing the feeling of
wellness, vitality, and can even be accused of 'not acting
our age' by participating in sports and outdoor activities.

We have begun to realize that a healthy diet is important.
A healthy diet includes the elimination or significant
reduction of saturated fats. A saturated fat is a type of
fat that is solid at room temperature (imagine that in your
body!). It is the biggest dietary source for high levels
of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or so-called "bad"
cholesterol and often is a major factor in the development
of heart disease and other illness.

Even the Mayo Clinic has recognized that in addition to a
healthy diet, nutritional supplements can play a vital role
in our health by providing additional nutrients our bodies
need to regenerate. Our bodies do not make or produce
nutrients, we get them from the foods we eat, but much of
our foods today come from soils that have been over-planted
and over-fertilized. The US has topped the charts with
over 85% soil depletion and that was cited in 1992!

While organically grown foods are a step in the right
direction, not all organically grown foods are the same.
Organically grown food means that the foods are grown
without the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
Many farmers who grow organic foods are committed to the
land and being in harmony with nature. Many desire to keep
a balance between people, plants, and animals.

Foods that were grown organically but processed afterwards
for freezing, canning, or packaging may have been
processed. Processing typically uses chemical additives or
preservatives. In addition, organic does not mean it is
pesticide-free. Some organic foods may have pesticide
residue from chemicals sprayed on the crops of nearby
farms, from contaminated runoff water, or shifting and
blowing soil.

So where do we find a dietary supplement that is nutrient
rich? The answer may be in the ocean. While not as
popular in the West, Eastern cultures such as those in
Japan and China have found considerable nutritional value
in sea vegetables. In some areas of Japan, diets consist
of 25% or more sea vegetables. What are the results of
eating a diet so high in sea vegetables? Within these same
regions there are more than 23,000 persons now living past
the age of 100. That's more than anywhere else on Earth.
Can it be they have found the Fountain of Youth?

Proper diet, the need for nutritional supplements and
moderate exercise is beginning to migrate from simple
awareness to action. Attitudes are shifting. The shift is
from treating disease and illness to prevention.
