A True Story Of How Antioxidants Can Enhance Your Immune System (0)

Posted 1 November, 2009 in Nutrition and Fitness Resources

If you look after your health you have probably heard of antioxidants. They are the good guys who fight the ‘free-radicals’. Here’s what Dr Chandra of the World Health Organization says about antioxidants: “To date, some sixty diseases have been associated with free radical damage, and each human cell receives at least 10,000 damaging hits from free radicals every day. So by taking antioxidants we increase our immunity as they act as a scavenging system to free radicals”. Antioxidants can be taken in tablet form or in liquid form in a drink such as Pomesteen.

I have personal experience of how antioxidants can improve health. A couple of days before Christmas 1999 I was ill with pancreatitis. Although I was 55 at the time I had never had any serious illnesses so this came as quite a shock. I was taken to my local hospital where I spent 3 weeks. Most of that time I was on a drip and unable to eat or drink. During the last 2 or 3 days I was allowed to eat and once I had proved I was able to keep the food inside me I was allowed home.

A month later I returned for a check-up and was told I had experienced a life-threatening illness for which there was no cure and it would probably happen again. As you can imagine I left the hospital feeling very low! But the doctor was right: it did happen again that Easter. This time I was in a different part of the country and spent 4 weeks in hospital. Once again I was told there was no preventative medication.When I got home I searched the Internet fro treatment for pancreatitis and found that the Manchester Royal Infirmary had for the past 20 years been successfully treating the illness with a combination of vitamins – antioxidants. To cut a long story short I now take a daily dose of antioxidants and I have not had any more problems. As pancreatitis is a life threatening illness, antioxidants may well have saved my life.|Those with medical knowledge may know that the usual causes of pancreatitis are excess alcohol consumption or gall stones. I have never really been a drinker and certainly have never drunk to excess, and my gall bladder is fine. My pancreatitis was diagnosed as ‘idiopathic’, which means peculiar to me. So the improvement to my health was down to the antioxidants and, I suppose, the Internet as without that I would never have found the treatment.|When I got home I searched the Internet for treatment for pancreatitis and found that for the last 20 years a hospital in Manchester was successfully treating pancreatitis with a combination of vitamins and minerals, mainly antioxidants. The quantities I take each day are above the normal dose and you should do this only if your medical adviser has prescribed this, but it works for me.[/spin]

Taking Acai Health Supplements for People in the Philippines (0)

Posted 20 October, 2009 in Nutrition and Fitness Resources

People across the globe are taking acai berry supplements to improve their health. News programs on TV have talked about the health benefits. They have been talked about on popular talk shows. They have been featured in prominent diet books. In short, they have been talked about a lot so there is a good chance you have heard about them. This article is going to talk about the acai berry and some specifics about acai berry Philippines offers.

First, let’s discuss the basics. Acai berries are similar in appearance to a blueberry, but a little darker purple. They grow primarily in South America on the acai palm tree which produces two crops a year of this fruit. The local people have eaten it for centuries and it has recently become popular around the world. There are lots of antioxidants as well as dietary fiber and omega fatty acids in the berry. There is even some protein. With all of these nutrients, it is no wonder that lots of people have referred to it as the world’s number 1 super food.

The one problem that acai berries have is that they spoil very quickly so they are not often shipped very far. Fortunately, health supplements can ship. If the acai berry is properly processed right away, the nutrients are captured and can be taken as a supplement. There are several companies that ship pure acai berry supplements around the world and this includes to the Philippines.

The two most popular companies that offer acai berries for the Philippines are Cloudnine and Amazon Thunder. Amazon Thunder supplements come in capsules, powders, and purees. They have pretty good prices on single bottles, but you can get an even better deal if you take advantage of a package offer. Cloudnine only sells capsules and they have prices for single bottles, package deals, and a even a free trial. The free trial offer comes with automatic monthly shipments so you don’t run out so make sure you pay attention to the details so you know what you are getting signed up for.

There are other acia berry supplement offers out there that ship to the US, Canada, Australia, and the UK, but often times they don’t ship to the Philippines. Sometimes these supplements have other ingredients added for weight loss and sometimes they don’t. Make sure you pay attention to what you are looking at so you get what you want.
