Studies On The Benefits of
Vitamins and Supplements
Popular Fitness Blog
There are so many medical
studies these days in the news supporting the merits of taking certain
vitamins and supplements. Several studies in the past concluded that
taking
extra Calcium will prevent osteoporosis in women. Now we have studies
saying
that additional supplementation of calcium provides no extra benefits.
Which studies are we to believe? Which ones are the most accurate? What
you hear in the news can be quite confusing for most people!
There is no need to be overly
concerned or worried over the conflicting studies. My advice is the
following
which most medical and fitness professionals will give.
Exercise regularly incorporating
cardiovascular and some form of weight training 2 to 3 times per week.
Weight bearing exercises help in the prevention of bone loss. My
website
has many weight training exercises for you here
as well as some excellent book
excerpts
on new approaches to exercise.
Secondly, eat properly. Proper
nutrition is vital for maintaining your ideal weight and
health.
I know that sometimes it's not possible to eat all your fruits and
vegetables,
plus the vitamin content in fruits and vegetables is decreasing over
time.
A lot of that has to do with the manner in which produce is grown and
shipped
to market, but that is a topic for another time. But not to worry
because
cereals and other foods are fortified with extra vitamins and minerals
these days.
You may also consider taking
a quality multi-vitamin daily. On my next blog entry, I will discuss
one
high quality multi-vitamin that I haeve been taking since 1992.
