Daily Health Tips update for September 14:
Recent research has found that typical vegetarian diets are
deficient in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12. These
deficiencies are quite prevalent in vegan diets due to the absence
of meat and dairy. They are linked to higher blood levels of an
amino acid called homocysteine and decreased levels of HDL (good)
cholesterol.
While most people boosting omega-3 EFAs opt for fish oil omega3
supplements, vegans will want to find a supplement made...

Ever
wondered what happens if your body runs low on vitamin D? First
time author James E. Dowd who penned The Vitamin D Cure
has.
Dowd, a rheumatologist and CEO at his Arthritis Institute of
Michigan, wanted to “look at our health through the lens of vitamin
D deficiency.”
The book has three sections. Part one attempts to establish how
vitamin D (not really a vitamin but a hormone our bodies synthesize
from the sun’s UVB rays) regulates essential body functions,
particularly through its...

Between the time that I
became too old to use Flintstones Chewable Multivitamins and the
time I found
Nature’s Plus Pineapple Flavor Adult's
Chewable Multi-Vitamin, I was not taking a multi-vitamin.
During those few years, I knew that I should be taking a daily
supplement, but I couldn’t find a multi-vitamin that wouldn’t make
me gag. I can’t swallow large pills!
Once I found these vitamins, I was worried that I would have to

Let’s be...

For vegetarians who don't eat fish, and especially for vegans (who
eat no animals or animal by-products at all), getting a daily
requirement of Essential Fatty Acids can be a challenge. Our
body needs us to consume EFAs to support cardiovascular health,
brain function and development, skin health and more.
Fortunately, there are plenty of vegetarian ways to consume EFAs.
Hemp,
chia seeds,
and flax seeds are all excellent sources of Omega-3s and Omega-6s.
I like to sprinkle Flax seed into...
