Deadly Disease Number 5: Osteoporosis Truth: 25 million North Americans suffer from osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis and bone health depend not only on estrogen and calcium, but on a wide range of nutrients, including vitamins B6, C, D, K, folic acid, manganese, zinc, and copper. Failure to meet one or more of these nutrient needs could result in accelerated osteoporosis. Maintaining strong and healthy bones should begin early.
Deadly Disease Number 6: Arthritis Truth: Over 165 million people have some form of arthritis,
More than 70 to 80 percent of
population over
age of 50 suffers from degenerative arthritis. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication does nothing to slow down
progression of
disease and is responsible for over 100,000 hospital admissions each year and 16,000 deaths. Glucosamine sulfate, along with complete and balanced nutritional supplements on
other hand, actually slows down degenerative arthritis and is even able to increase cartilage within
joint, without dangerous side effects.
Deadly Disease Number 7: Alzheimer’s: Truth: An estimated 29 million people suffer from dementia.
Alzheimer’s dementia has been shown to be caused by oxidative stress. Patients who have
highest intake of antioxidants, which combats oxidative stress, have
lowest risk of developing Alzheimer’s dementia. Dr. Strand believes that
absolute best way to protect yourself against
development of these neurodegenerative diseases is by taking highly potent nutritional supplements.
Deadly Disease Number 8: Obesity Truth: For
first time in
history of
United States and other industrialized countires, there are more people who are obese than are of normal weight.
Researchers are beginning to realize that one of
main causes of obesity is insulin resistance. Eating in such a way as not to spike your blood sugar, modest exercise, and nutritional supplements all improve insulin sensitivity. This triad of healthy lifestyle has a side effect of fat loss.
Remember: When you are maximizing your body’s health potential, we everyone wins. When you don’t, we all lose.
