5 Tips for Choosing the Best Dietary Supplements Written by Kathy Browning
Americans have become more health conscious over past few years and are beginning to recognize connection between good health and diet. Unfortunately, this knowledge hasn’t translated into healthier eating habits. The problem is people don’t take time to plan meals or do necessary tasks to eating healthful. It has become way too easy to drive up to a window and grab a bag of food to eat in car or at home. Even grocery stores are packed with fast food and there are entire aisles dedicated to frozen and processed meals in a bag or box. What kind of nutrition are you going to get out of a bag of orange dust and dehydrated potatoes? Not much. By time you eat it, it has been heated to extreme temperatures, processed, frozen, then heated up again. Then there are all those preservatives, additives and food colorings. There’s not much there to fuel your body. And, even if you ate healthiest diet on planet, you wouldn’t get all nutrients your body needs. Why? Because 90% of American soil is depleted of minerals. So, if you eat healthy, you need to supplement and if you don’t eat healthy, you REALLY need to supplement. The first thing to remember about adding supplements to your diet is that they are meant to augment, not replace, a healthy diet. Your body is one incredible machine and it serves you well, even when you treat it bad. But it can only take so much. You’ve got to help it by being nice to yourself. The best source of vitamins and minerals comes from whole food sources. I know you’ve heard this before, but it bears repeating – eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. If you decide to add supplements, do your research. Understand what supplements you need and why. Educate yourself about quality and effectiveness of product.

Contact: Stacey Kumagai at 818/506.8675 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEIS STRESS MAKING YOU FAT? FOUR MOUNTAINS, INC. REVEALS HOW STRESS COULD RUIN MORE THAN YOUR SUMMER BEACH LOOK! Calabasas, CA – Juggling a ‘Type-A Personality,’ family/friends/life demands, career-on-the-run with regular exercise and diet (even soy lattes) should be enough to keep anyone fit. Add in unstable stock market, taxes, freeway sig-alerts, battling office chaos, recovering from flu, all while we were at War with Iraq… it’s no surprise those ‘few extra pounds’ have not melted away in time for Summer. Four Mountains, Inc., is a privately held Clinical & Research Laboratory dedicated to synthesizing all available data in fields of alternative medicine, disease prevention, wholistic mind/body health and anti-aging technology. They have found that human body storing energy as fat is one of many reflex, involuntary, biological responses to chronic stress. "Stress makes our body store fat, which is stored energy, especially around waist. This is a stress survival strategy. When brain perceives stress, it makes body do all kinds of things you would never want it to, unless of course you really were in a survival situation. If you were lost in deep desert you would want your body to store energy as fat as this would help you make long perilous journey back to civilization. The problem is that ALL stress triggers our fat storing mechanisms, even if we're just sitting in traffic and running late. Under stress, body just does what it does, and storing fat is one of those things,” explains Dr. Ward Coleman, N.D. and President of Four Mountains, Inc.
