Asbestosis is a disease caused by exposure to high levels to asbestos, a dangerous mineral that can also result in mesothelioma, which is a deadly cancer. It is important for anyone that works or has worked with asbestos – and those that think they may have been exposed to asbestos particles through some other source – to familiarize themselves withrepparttar signs andrepparttar 142109 symptoms of asbestosis. When airborne asbestos fibers and dust are breathed in, because ofrepparttar 142110 particle deposition asbestosis can occur. This is a disease that can result in scarring of lung tissue and can reduce breathing and lung capacity.

One thing to bear in mind is that diseases that are related to asbestos can have a very long latency period. This means thatrepparttar 142111 symptoms ofrepparttar 142112 disease may not manifest for several decades following exposure to asbestos.

Why Supplement?

Why Supplement?

By Mary Porter

If you are relying on your diet to deliver all of your nutritional needs, you may be coming up short. food today does not haverepparttar same value as it did 50 years ago. Back then, farmers restored nutrients torepparttar 142089 soil by mulching with natural fertilizers, and by rotating crops. Today there is extensive use of chemical substances that eventually depleterepparttar 142090 soil of some ofrepparttar 142091 essential components necessary for adequate nutrition. The end result isrepparttar 142092 supply of beautiful produce that looks great, but doesn't have nearrepparttar 142093 vitamins and minerals it should have, and did have 50 years ago.

Today's food also loses value inrepparttar 142094 processes it is subject to. Canning, freezing, and even cooking fresh food all cost in nutritional value. The very popular added convenience of "quick to fix" or "ready to eat" takes away even more necessary elements.(Not to mentionrepparttar 142095 chemical food preservatives, stabilizers, flavor enhances, artificial colors, and other stuff you are ingesting!)

The FDA Food Pyramid recommendsrepparttar 142096 following:

Fats, Oils, Sweets - use sparingly Milk, Yogurt, Cheese - 2-3 servings/day Meat, Poultry, Fish, Dry beans, Eggs, Nuts - 2-3 servings/day Vegetable Group - 3-5 servings/day Fruit Group - 2-4 servings/day

Doesn't look TOO terribly tough to accomplish. If you are focused, and plan your meals, and are organized enough to fulfill all ofrepparttar 142097 requirements. Then you have to make sure everyone in your household actually CONSUMES all ofrepparttar 142098 carefully planned and presented meals.(Does everyone at your house like spinach? I amrepparttar 142099 only one here!)

Most people today are too busy to plan and deliver balanced, adequate meals every day. I can't imagine being in one place long enough to eat 5 servings of vegetables in one 24 hour period, let alone finding that many that my daughter will eat.

But even if you ARE resourceful enough to accomplish this task, based onrepparttar 142100 information atrepparttar 142101 beginning of this report, you are probably going to come up short anyway. Information fromrepparttar 142102 U.S. Department of Agriculture reflects that it would require as many as 75 servings of spinach (my favorite!) grown today to deliverrepparttar 142103 same amount of iron in one serving of spinach grown in 1948.
