Take a multivitamin that contains B vitamins – November 30, 2009

Take a multivitamin that contains B vitamins. The B vitamins folic acid, B6 and B12 are related to cognitive function.

If you swallow your vitamin supplements with your morning coffee, you may be missing out on possible health benefits. Take them with food for the best results. Vitamins A, D, E and K are fat-soluble, requiring the presence of some fat (think good fats, such as the omega-3’s found in flax seed) in the gastrointestinal tract for optimal absorption.

The Wonders of Tea – August 10, 2009

 

While clinical researchers continue to study how tea can help promote health, ward off disease and prolong life, many people are eager to reap the health benefits of tea right away. But how?

A few things have become clear, such as which teas contain the greatest concentration of beneficial antioxidants (white tea, then green, followed by black and decaffeinated green), and how to prepare tea most healthfully. (Boil water to make black tea, but stop just short of boiling to brew the green and white varieties.)

In studies, participants who drank one to four cups of tea per day, every day, showed the most profound benefits. The advantages of tea, for those who opt to incorporate it into their daily lives, are more than physical. Incorporate a cup of tea into your daily routine and experience the soothing comfort it can offer!
