Look, you can do what you want with your life but please don’t cry to me or your fellow citizen when some bad disease or ailment strikes your body. Your sedimentary lifestyle will eventually result in your demise.

Get off your easy chair and do something! You do not have to run marathons or join a health club but you do need to get the body moving. How about starting with TV commercials, whenever a commercial comes on do some calisthenics. Set up a schedule of say ten different exercises and then rotate between them. This way you can have your cake and eat it too. TV and exercise become harmonize.

Another easy way to get some exercise is to use stairs instead of the elevator or escalator. Park your car further away at your destination rather then parking as close as possible to the door.

When doing household chores don’t always look for the easiest way to get the job done instead opt to use the most physical way, this will allow your body to burn calories, stretch muscles, and gain strength.

I’m certain you can come up with many more easy to implement exercises and ways to get your body moving. All it takes is some motivation and some personal butt kicking.

So you probably think we’re crazy, right? Well allow me to explain. We decided to establish our very own health insurance policy. We implemented a healthy lifestyle by eating properly, exercising, living free of drugs, no processed foods, drinking clean pure water, breathing pollution free air and living a life full of youthful activities.

That isn’t all we did to assure our good health. Supplementation is a big part of our health success. Not just any supplements mind you, only quality herbal organic natural supplements when available.

A major reason for creating healthylivingwithnaturalsupplements.com was to establish a destination whereby anyone could go to find only the best supplements available.

This year I turn 65 chronologically although I feel and look much younger (so I’m told). I suppose I will reluctantly have to buy some form of health insurance at that time. Call me crazy but that should be my decision and not the governments call. Well be that as it may I will continue on with my self prescribed health insurance and be a very happy camper.

Don’t go through life depending on someone else to take care of your health needs. It is your body, your health, take command and live life to the fullest. Enjoy!

This study, reveals the positive effect of supplementing with L-carnitine for people with a history of diastolic-dysfunction-related heart failure. Study participants received either a placebo for 3 months or 1,500 mg of L-carnitine per day. Evaluations took place using echocardiograms at the onset of the study and again after 3 months of treatment.

Study results imply that there was progress in several calculations of diastolic heart function in the group receiving L-carnitine supplementation. Theses improvements include relaxation time and left atrial size, which is a chamber that often enlarges due to heart failure. Study participants who used L-carnitine also showed marked improvement in breathing (dyspnea), a common symptom of heart failure.

Study conductors concluded: “In patients with a history of diastolic heart failure, important indices of diastolic function and symptoms appear to improve with L-carnitine treatment.”

Natural Supplements may or may not be organic which denotes a product which was produced without the use of Chemicals (fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, etc.) and DNA modification.

Natural Supplements are often specifically requested by health conscience consumers since the connotation is that the word ’Natural’ carries a sense of purity and superiority. In fact the word ’Natural’ is often used by marketers to promote their products.

The Health Supplement Industry has grown exponentially in recent years and with this growth savvy entrepreneurs have capitalized and sometimes mislead the public with the word ’Natural’ in reference to supplements.

When considering purchasing dietary supplements one should always consider what may be hyperbole and or outright misleading and erroneous comments. Some common sense recommendations that will assist you in making a sound and safe purchase.

1. Do your research, is the supplement provider well respected in the industry and carry favorable reviews by actual people who have made a purchase.

2. Check with the better business society to see if there has been many complaints made against service, products, claims etc.

3. Read the ingredient label carefully. If you have questions concerning a product ingredient or the wording used to describe it place a call to the company and get a clarification. If you get no satisfaction, move on to another company. Also remember, the big, old, well established companies are not above using marketing words to sell their products, in the end it is the sale that counts.

Natural Supplements are a wonderful, safe and wholesome way to complement an already healthful diet. Supplementation should never take the place of nutritious food, exercise, clean water, clean fresh air and a healthy lifestyle. Living healthy can be achieved but only with all facets of the fore mentioned working together. Why not establish a health program for you and your family?

Nanotechnology, shortened to “nanotech”, is the study of the controlling of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally nanotechnology deals with structures sized between 1 to 100 nanometer in at least one dimension, and involves developing materials or devices within that size. Nanotechnology is very diverse, ranging from extensions of conventional device physics to completely new approaches based upon molecular self-assembly, from developing new materials with dimensions on the nanoscale to investigating whether we can directly control matter on the atomic scale.

Let’s put this in English. Now, nanotechnology introduces a new wave of assaults on our foods. No one knows what can happen to humans when they eat nano food. Scientists have warned that nanotechnology, the manipulation of matter at the scale of atoms and molecules introduces serious new risks to human and environmental health. Our government is letting this technology be used without it being marked with labels on our food, right now.

Nanotechnology is the dream that scientists believe can remake the world from the atom up, using atomic level manipulation to transform and construct a wide range of new materials, devices, living organisms, and technological systems. In the absence of mandatory product labeling anywhere in the world, it is impossible to tell how many commercial food products now contain nano ingredients.

There is a growing body of toxicological literature that suggests that nanoparticles are more reactive, more mobile, and more likely than larger particles to be toxic to humans and the environment. Scientific research has shown that many types of nanoparticles can result in increased oxidative stress which can result in the formation of free radicals that can lead to cancer, DNA mutation and even cell death.

A study from 2004 found that carbon nanoparticles used in electronics and other materials, changed the entire physiology of fish that were exposed to it over the course of two days literally causing significant brain damage in these fish. Check out the study.

Now the pharmaceutical company wants to embed nanoparticles into your drugs.

Tell your local government that you want to see products that contain engineered nano ingredients labeled to allow you to make an informed purchasing choice. Then eat organic food.

A team at the University of Copenhagen has tracked down a genetic mutation and is the cause of the eye color of all blue-eyed humans. This genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene in our chromosomes resulted in the creation of a “switch”, which literally “turned off” the ability to produce brown eyes.

Professor Eiberg from the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine said we originally all had brown eyes. Variation in the color of the eyes from brown to green can all be explained by the amount of melanin in the iris, but blue-eyed individuals only have a small degree of variation in the amount of melanin in their eyes. The official name of this gene is “oculocutaneous albinism II.” The mutation affected the so-called OCA2 gene, which is involved in the production of melanin, the pigment that gives color to our hair, eyes, and skin.

I thought this very interesting since my twin sister and I have green eyes, my brother has blue eyes and my mom has brown eyes.

P protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OCA2 gene. Genes hold the information to build and maintain an organism’s cells and pass genetic traits to offspring. So it all boils down to if you do not have brown eyes you have a genetic mutation.

This reminds me of the lyrics by Crystal Gayle, Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue. Well now I know how people get different colored eyes though I do wonder how a few people get two different color eyes?

Signing off – the ‘Green Eyed Girl’……what a great song.

There were 33,000 plaintiffs. These plaintiffs never got to court until 1993.The oil spill is linked to genetic harm in animals, and in people. It has been reported on CNN that the vast majority of those who worked to clean up the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska are now dead.

The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is now many times worse than the Exxon Valdez disaster. The LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL has an article entitled (Exxon Valdez oil risks spur warning for gulf cleanup crews ).They tell you about the general foreman of the cleanup crews of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska’s Prince William Sound and how sick they got.

There is also another Article by Merle Savage, a female general foreman during the Exxon Valdez oil spill beach cleanup in 1989. She talks about the beach crews breathing in crude oil that splashed off the rocks and into the air – the toxic exposure turned into chronic breathing conditions and central nervous system problems, neurological impairment, chronic respiratory disease, leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumors, liver damage, and blood disease.

Then there was BP’s safety training, what a joke. There was not one word about inhalation or absorption; it was skipped over completely. A Florida construction worker, who requested anonymity because he fears retribution from BP, confirmed the lack of safety training. Now A hundred Cleanup Workers in Louisiana and Alabama have reported chest pains, skin-and-eye irritation, nose bleeds, stomach problems, nausea, and other symptoms.

People wake up, your life is worth more than a paycheck and a free lunch . Haven’t you learned anything from the Exxon Valdez spill? This spill is much Worse! Take the money and see if you have time to spend it. Ask the people at the Exxon spill if the money is worth the health risk, that is if you can find a live person to talk to.

Researchers were quick to point out that stopping smoking remained the best way of reducing lung cancer risk.

Even if you continue to smoke, supplementing with Vitamin B6 may help to slow the progression of the disease.

 A healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle are essential building blocks in the prevention of any form of cancer . Avoid processed foods, fried food and burned animal fat. Don’t drink public water. Don’t eat meat that has been mass produced and processed (contains hormones, anti-biotics or other injections).

 If you are taking prescription drugs consider using natural supplements as an alternative. (consult with your health care provider before implementing).

 Many Natural Health advocates firmly believe that cancer is a self induced disease and can be prevented if the proper lifestyle is set in place and aggressively adhered to. Take control of your health, you are its master.

All of your workouts’ positive effects begin with oxidative phosphorylation, a pathway that your body uses to generate energy (known as adenosine triphosphate or ATP) at the cellular level.

Supplementing with nutrients that will help your body to replenish its essential ATP levels. This will improve muscle function plus increase your heart’s stamina and help it to keep up with the demands for more ATP during exercise.

Whether you’re a casual exerciser or an amateur athlete, look for the highly bioavailable form of CoQ10, preferably the second generation CoQ10-H2™, for a supplement-based strategy that can reduce your recovery time plus maximize your strength, energy and endurance throughout each and every workout.

Studies show that excess free radical exposure can pave the way to DNA mutations, premature aging and cell death, muscle weakness, fatigue and chronic oxidative stress. D-ribose is a pentose sugar that can help to maintain ATP regeneration in your body, especially following exercise.

Extensive research shows that safe, natural substances including vitamins A, C and E, N-acetyl cysteine, lutein, rosemary leaf extract, turmeric, green tea, bilberry and grape seed extract are all potent free radical quenchers.

Studies document that D-ribose can supply extra amounts of ATP to your heart muscle in particular. Meanwhile, the popular antioxidant coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) also plays a vital role in ATP synthesis, and can improve energy production when your body is under physical stress.

It’s no surprise, then, that research shows that regular CoQ10 supplementation can boost exercise tolerance, lessen fatigue and improve physical performance in active subjects. Unfortunately, this respiratory process—paired with your muscles’ contractions and additional environmental factors like certain preservatives in foods and beverages, sun exposure and smog—produces by-products that pollute your body and lead to the formation of damaging free radicals.

Moderate exercise is great but be careful not to over do it and certainly, most definitely, supplement.

Academia seems to have a blind eye in regards of the medicinal value of God created herbs. This shouldn’t surprise anyone for in fact science researchers and other scholarly people have long took the path of least resistance with published studies. This path always follows the money trail to pharmaceutical drugs. Having said that there is some glimmer of hope that maybe a few good men and women will and have spoken out in a favorable manner regarding medicinal Herbal properties.

At the recent annual meeting of the Association for Psychological Science, scientists are beginning to discover a host of health benefits from common spices and herbs. Many herbs were noted to have positive affects for specific ailments and conditions, although they were quick to point out more studies were needed to authenticate their usefulness.

Herbs have been used for medicinal purposes throughout millennia particularly by the Chinese. Ancient history records innumerably the positive attributes of common herbs, spices, tree foliage and bark, water plants and algae and other God created entities.

The Supplement industry is growing exponentially and can no longer be overlooked as a driving force in how people choose to treat their illnesses. The question will be whether science will take us seriously and begin true unbiased studies in an effort to benefit mankind, or whether to stay on the safe side where the money continues to flow uninterrupted. Regardless of the outcome there are many good people and businesses striving to educate a blinded society that God has given us all the wonderful herbs etc. for our protection and healing of these magnificently created bodies.
