NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS FINALLY MAKE THE GRADE

For many years vitamins have struggled to be on equal par with pharmaceutical medicines.  With growing public awareness of the importance of nutritional goodness, supplement manufacturers have been pressured to provide potent and balanced products.  As a result, preventative medicine is progressing in leaps and bounds.  Recent nutritional discoveries have made the purchase of the 'nutraceutical' ( the modern vitamin) a viable and worthwhile option in the combat against age, illness and weight control.

RDI VS UDI 

What is the UDI? How does it differ from the RDI? Why is it important?

The Recommended Daily Intake was set in the early 1900's and suggest the quantity of food a person requires to satisfy daily food consumption, to avoid illness. Modern society has progressed so much in the last century that a new standard was needed, to accomodate the changes in common illness. Thus, the Upper Dietary Intake suggests 7 Fruit and 8 Vegetables, as opposed to the old 2 Fruit & 3 Vegetables of the RDI.
Modern society places more stress onto the body than that of yester-year. Working overtime, smog, chemicals, soil depletion and UV radiation all contribute to the causes of modern illness. Nutritional research suggests a more potent dietary intake to combat the harsh environmental changes.
Researchers at USANA Health Sciences (who focus on nutrition at a cellular level) discovered that 'optimal health requires more food than a person can consume in one day'.
For example: For satisfactory intake of Vitamin C alone requires a person to eat either 12 pounds of spinach, 3 pounds of oranges, 6 pounds of walnuts or 2 pounds of sunflower seeds PER DAY.
Not only would it be impossible to maintain this level of food intake for each vitamin but, your body would struggle to digest such massive amounts.
Luckily, nutritional supplements based on the UDI are available online, to assist where your diet is inadequate.

ANTIOXIDANTS 

What is oxidation? How do 'free radicals' cause the effects of aging?

A truly great, recent discovery in nutritional medicine is the importance of antioxidants in the diet. These help rejuvenate and replace damaged cells, that cause aging.
'Free Radicals' are basically anything foreign to the body chemical make up that we struggle to expel. Many of these nasties find their way into the body from chemical exposure and attack healthy cells. Known as 'oxidation', it leaves your cells depleted and unable to function properly.
As we age, our ability to heal and replace damaged cells slows down. The damaged cells accumulate the signs of aging begin to grow. Then we gradually find it more difficult to recover from more prevailant health issues.
Antioxidants assist the bodies natural defence systems maintain cellular health and reduce the signs of aging. By consuming foodstuffs and supplements high in antioxidants, we can age more gracefully.
The most potent food in antioxidants is 'Goji Berries', native to Tibet. Other common foods include; prunes, pomegranates, blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, kale, garlic, spinach broccoli, avocado, oranges and grapes, in their subsequent order.
