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...

The Onion is an
online tongue-in-cheek "newspaper" that pokes fun at most
everything through irreverent fictional news articles.

across an Onion article from 1997. The headline stated: "
World
Death Rate Holding Steady at 100 Percent."
The article went on to say: "World Health Organization officials
expressed disappointment Monday at the group’s finding that,
despite the enormous efforts of doctors, rescue workers and other

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,

The cost of producting veggie caps is higher than gelatin capsules
and veggie caps also tend to be more fragile with higher breakage
rates. Even though we try to provide as many vegetarian

to our customers. If there are specific products you'd like to see
offered in vegetarian forms, please feel...

switch it up from time to time because I never felt physically that

wanted to start a new search for a multi.
There are so many
multi-vitamins out there, how do you choose? Well for me I knew
Swanson's sells top quality products at reasonable prices so I
started my search there. After reading reviews and comparing labels
and vitamin & mineral content I found one...

Other “healthy foods lists” cover wild, exotic fruits or super
foods that are grown half a world away. Foods that you’ll never be
able to find at a local farmer’s market. Foods that would likely
push your weekly grocery budget beyond its limit.
Not this list.
These seven foods not only pack a good deal of nutrition, they’re
also easy to find and affordable. And wouldn’t you know it, Swanson
Health Products carries all 7 at everyday low prices that can’t be
beat!
