Health Thoughts, Living on the Health Minimum Wage?

Now think about what oxygen free radicals are doing to your body without an adequate supply of antioxidants.

So antioxidants are extremely important, however, what you may not know is that a variety (or network) of antioxidants almost always is more effective than justrepparttar same amount of individual antioxidants. So a variety of 15 different antioxidants would typically work better thanrepparttar 114806 same amount of one single antioxidant.

Micronutrients or plant nutrients - these are present in virtually all plants here are some examples:

Cauliflower containsrepparttar 114807 micro- photonutrient sulforaphane. In research done at John Hopkins University in Baltimore, sulforaphane loweredrepparttar 114808 occurrence of breast tumors in lab animals by almost 40%.

In peppers you have micro- photonutrient capsaicin-it has been found to work as an anticoagulant, thus possibly helping prevent heart attacks or strokes caused by blood clot.

Lemons contain limonene, a compound shown to have anticancer properties in laboratory animals. Limonene also appears to raiserepparttar 114809 levels of beneficial enzymes inrepparttar 114810 liver.

And of course this isrepparttar 114811 tip ofrepparttar 114812 iceberg as micro-photonutrients are present in most plants, researchers are still uncovering all their many health benefits.

A couple more good health tips.

Clean Water - One ofrepparttar 114813 most valuable things you can do for your health is to assure you drink at least 8 glasses of good clean pure water each day. This doesn't include soft drinks, beer, wine, coffee, tea, etc. This helps flush wastes fromrepparttar 114814 body, keepsrepparttar 114815 cells hydrated and some experts believe it can even help keep healthy blood cholesterol levels down.

Finally Exercise - One can't underestimaterepparttar 114816 role regular exercise plays in long term health. It is important when starting an exercise to do something you enjoy and don't over commit and over do it. I.E. never bite off more than you can chew. You want to develop a good habit of exercise andrepparttar 114817 only way to do that is to start very slowly.

For example your goal forrepparttar 114818 first week may be to do 1 sit-up per day or walk torepparttar 114819 end of your driveway and back. This may seem too easy, but our main concern is that we develop a good habit of doing some exercise everyday. And if you can do it for 21 straight days a good habit will develop.

One last thing to consider - too often most people think about what arerepparttar 114820 minimums in each area required for health. Why would someone only wantrepparttar 114821 minimum amount of health?

That is like living offrepparttar 114822 minimum wage - not a pleasant thought.

There hundreds of medical studies completed onrepparttar health benefits of ultraviolet light, however, prevailing medical establishments continue to maintain that UV is dangerous to our health. It is agreed that too much UV is harmful, however, a basic amount is needed to support life andrepparttar 114805 immune system, just like any other vital nutrient. Today we spend most of our time indoors, and under artificial lighting. Most indoors lighting (homes, offices, and factories) has inadequate brightness and lacksrepparttar 114806 spectral components of sunlight. Additionally, most light bulbs give off a gross distortion ofrepparttar 114807 visible light spectrum, emitting strong peaks of light energy inrepparttar 114808 yellow, red and infrared portions ofrepparttar 114809 spectrum. That is why most lighting in homes and offices, etc. looks yellowish and dingy.

Natural Full Spectrum fluorescent lighting simulates full color and ultraviolet spectrum of sunlight, and reveals detail and color accurately. It is a beautiful all-purpose white light - a pleasing fluorescent tube that operates in existing fixtures for complete lighting of offices, stores, factories, schools, hospitals, banks, or wherever fluorescent light is used.

Natural Full Spectrum Fluorescent lights haverepparttar 114810 proven capability to: Blend with natural light from windows and skylights; Reveal detail and colors accurately. Improve seeability; Help improverepparttar 114811 performance and productivity of people; Excellent for Pet and Plant lighting. Simulation of natural light means that environments lit with natural full spectrum fluorescent light bulbs can blend perfectly withrepparttar 114812 natural light from windows and skylights. The eye does not have to adapt to a new spectrum, color temperature or color rendition when one goes from outdoors or a naturally lighted environment to an indoor environment lighted with Vita-Lite. Interior colors are true and details are rendered accurately. Natural light energizesrepparttar 114813 environment for people. They generally feel better, are more alert, see better and perform better. In a survey conducted to determinerepparttar 114814 impact of full spectrum lighting inrepparttar 114815 workplace it was found that: People felt more relaxed and less fatigued with full spectrum lighting than Cool White, with higher eye comfort; The subjects perceived full spectrum lighting as significantly more pleasant, natural, bright and stimulating; Additionally, they rated their seeing tasks as more distinct under full spectrum lighting, and their work tasks as easier and more satisfying.

Not all "Full Spectrum" light bulbs are true Full Spectrum - noon daylight bulbs. Light bulbs are rated by 1) Lumen Output; CRI (Color Rendering Index); and Color Temperature (Kelvin Degrees). These ratings are required to determinerepparttar 114816 type of lightrepparttar 114817 bulb is emitting. Natural light has a unique spectrum, which includes a balance of UV and visible color regions. This spectrum balance of UV and Visible light is necessary for lamps to be called "Full Spectrum". Therefore, ifrepparttar 114818 spectrum from light bulbs closely matches this balanced spectrum of natural noon-day light, such bulbs can accurately and legitimately be described as Full Spectrum. Otherwise,repparttar 114819 output of bulbs that does not meet this definition cannot and should not be described as Full Spectrum. Most so-called "Full Spectrum" incandescent bulbs and neodymium) are not true "Full Spectrum" and do not match high quality full spectrum fluorescent light bulbs.

Spectral output analysis clearly shows that these types of bulbs do not meet Full Spectrum requirements. These type bulbs have a rare earth element (neodymium) inrepparttar 114820 glass that reducesrepparttar 114821 amount of yellow energy from an incandescent filament, thus producing a unique color-rendering lamp. Several ofrepparttar 114822 so-called "Full Spectrum" incandescent manufacturers do not list ratings for Color Temperature, CRI, Lumens, on their "Full Spectrum" incandescent bulbs. Most incandescent and other "Full Spectrum" bulbs have various color tones (pink, purple, etc.). Our products arerepparttar 114823 highest quality true full spectrum products available. All our products are rated with a Color Temp. (K), (CRI), and Lumen Output varies, depending on bulb. There is no guessing torepparttar 114824 Lumen Level, CRI, and Color Temperature (K). Furthermore,repparttar 114825 spectral analysis closely matches noonday sunlight and a balanced UV, which incandescent bulbs do not have. Naturallighting.com specializes in natural full spectrum lighting. Other products include our exclusive Ergonomic Desk Lamps, Ultra Compact SunPro and Vita-Lite Spiral Bulbs, Ultra-Lite, SunPro, Natural Light, SunPro light boxes for SAD - Season Affective Disorder, Grow Lights, new high output T6 lamps, etc.
