By blogomator on Friday, May 29th, 2009 | No Comments

Obesity, in the most basic terms, is an excess of body fat. Anyone who is over the normal weight for their age and height by 20% or more is considered obese. This is the clinical definition, and no matter how you try to get out of it, being 20% over the norm when it comes to weight makes anyone clinically obese. This is different from being overweight. Being overweight is subject to interpretation, and being slightly over the norm may be just how you are. Obesity is a medical condition and for health reasons should be treated as such. This is because anyone who is obese runs quite a few health risks.

Vitamins and Supplements for Everyday Use

By blogomator on Wednesday, May 13th, 2009 | No Comments

Vitamins and supplements have incredible healing powers for those that are suffering from illness, but what about people who are already fairly healthy? If there’s nothing wrong with your health, should you still take vitamins and supplements? The answer is a resounding yes. This is because while vitamins and supplements can help those who are ill, they are really better used as preventative medicine for healthy people rather than cures for the sick. In fact, many people become ill because they have deprived their body of the nutrients it needs for a long period of time.

Believe it or not, everyday life robs us of important nutrients all the time. Whether you feel it or

Vitamins and Supplements vs. the Doctor

By blogomator on Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 | No Comments

Medical doctors have very strong opinions about the value of vitamins and supplements. Some of them view vitamins and supplements as helpful with preventing illness. Others see them as a new way to practice alternative medicine. Then there are those who discourage their use entirely, except for taking a standard multivitamin.

This leaves the patient in an awkward situation. This is because if a person is serious about finding an alternative to traditional western medicine, a doctor can’t help them. Doctors can’t prescribe vitamins and supplements like they would medication. In fact, they can’t even recommend that you take them. The vitamin and supplement industry isn’t regulated like the drug industry, so if a

By blogomator on Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 | No Comments

As vitamins and supplements go, folic acid is a B vitamin that is known mainly for its ability to fight cardiovascular disease. Folic acid is found naturally in green leafy vegetables and legumes, but if you don’t eat enough of these, it’s a good idea to take folic acid as a supplement.
