How to Find the Perfect Vitamin Supplement For Your Unique Body
Calcium-fortified orange juice, Vitamin-enhanced waters, Fortified cereals and energy bars.Everywhere you turn, new products are showing up on supermarket shelves touting added vitamins and minerals. If you already take a multi-vitamin and mineral tablet, add a calcium or vitamin E supplement on top of that, and eat a few fortified food products along with a fairly healthy diet, you are now out of balance with too many vitamins and minerals. Is More Really Better When It Comes To Taking Vitamins and Supplements? Americans tend to think that more is better, or that if it's natural, it can't harm you, and that is particularly true when it comes to vitamins and minerals. But that's not always the case. Some people habitually overdo it with vitamins and minerals and suffer the consequences. Serious Consequences For Over Doing Vitamins and Supplements Here are a few examples. Most people think if they take too many water soluble vitamins (like B vitamins and vitamin C) they will just get washed out in the urine, this is true, but it can put extra stress on the kidneys and liver.
A more serious problem with water soluble vitamin B6, is that, over time, it can cause nerve damage if taken in excessive amounts. Vitamin C is another that people tend to take in large quantities, mainly in the form of supplements, and often in an attempt to stave off colds and illness. But at 2,000 milligrams or greater, it can cause digestive upset, and people don't typically associate stomach upset with the fact that they are taking vitamin C. Vitamin C enhances iron absorption and research has shown excess amounts may increase the risk of liver cancer and heart disease in people with iron overload.

Cash For Clunkers: Good Or Bad Idea?Cash For Clunkers: Good Or Bad Idea?Author: Bond MejehThe "Cash for Clunkers" bill was officially known by the acronym CARS, which either stood for Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save or Car Allowance Rebate System. This program supplies $1 billion worth of vouchers to American car owners who trade in their old vehicles in exchange for a voucher for up to $4,500 to help buy a new, more fuel-efficient vehicle. Many car owners still drive SUVs and large trucks because of their lack of environmental awareness. At first, this almost seems like you have to bribe people to become environmentally conscious. The thing is, at a trade-in value of maximum $4,500, they may not be getting the best trade in value for their clunker or gas-guzzler. |
