NUTRITION REPORT

By the time you finish reading this NUTRITION REPORT, you'll know exactly why and what kind of nutritional supplement you should include as part of your daily health protocol.

This report has a lot of valuable information in it and is a little lengthy but I promise you will be rewarded by carefully reading it. I also have plenty more "golden health nuggets" available to you at another time. But first let's look at something we all need for our health.

Let's face it, almost everybody wants to live a long, healthy life. But, maintaining the strict dietary and exercise regimen needed to do this isn't so easy.

One of the best ways to make it easier, however, is to include a powerful nutritional supplement as part of your daily routine. It's a lot easier to take a high quality supplement everyday than to avoid all fast food, eat spinach around the clock, and devote 2 hours a day to exercise

If you're health conscious at all then you probably already take a daily multi-vitamin. That might be a good start --if it contains the right type of nutrients, and if the manufacturer uses the right delivery system. This is very important because the nutrients must be released in the right place at the right time. I'll come back to this point in a moment because this point separates what is an ordinary supplement from one that is most effective.

The Importance of Nutritional Supplements

A daily nutritional supplement is important because the foods that we eat (even if we try to eat healthy) are not nearly as nutritious as they once were. Many studies show that even healthy foods like spinach, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, and other crops, have a great deal less vitamin and mineral content than they did 30, 40, and 50 years ago. This is simply a result of modern farming practices, which affects the soil they are raised in.

To make matters worse, many respected doctors, scientists and researchers believe that most chronic and life-threatening diseases are caused by nutritional deficiencies or imbalances.

A Balancing Act

Everything within the body is about balance. Too much of one substance, and not enough of another, throws that balance off. This causes damage to the cells of the body and leads to aging. For example, free radical molecules perform some necessary functions within the cells of the body, But without the balancing presence of antioxidants, they go “hay-wire” and start damaging DNA strands. This DNA damage is one of the causes of aging, but it is not the only cause.

Chronic inflammation has been linked to a variety of health problems. Arthritis is an obvious one, but heart disease and cancer are also connected to chronic inflammation. Researchers have found that synthetic anti-inflammatory drugs are not effective against chronic inflammation, although they may provide some temporary relief from joint pain and other “symptoms” of inflammation.

Anti-Inflammatory Agents

Natural anti-inflammatory agents present in fruits, vegetables, fish and other foods can effectively fight chronic inflammation. Other foods, such as high amounts of saturated and transfats, cause inflammation. The nutrients needed to reduce and prevent inflammation include flavonoids, alpha lipoic acid, carnosine, turmeric, glutathione and resveratrol.

What is Glycation?

You may have heard of inflammation and the damaging effects of free radicals. But, have you heard of glycation or methylation? Glycation is even more dangerous to your health than free radicals. The process of glycation is complex, but basically, it interferes with the cells' ability to get the amino acids that they need from the protein-rich foods that you eat.

The digestive system breaks down large protein molecules into smaller amino acids, which are then re-combined to form the different proteins that are needed to create cells, fibers, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, joints and bones. When Glycating agents, which are primarily simple carbohydrates and sugars, interfere with this process, cellular reproduction slows down.

Glycation Prevention

The result is pain, muscular weakness, fatigue and eventually chronic disease. As antioxidants prevent free radical damage, carnosine, an amino acid complex, prevents glycation and is an effective anti-aging therapy.

Methylation is Vital

Methylation is something like the opposite of glycation. Methylation is essential to life and if it is not working at optimum levels, you’ll start to have health problems, which may include heart disease, liver disease, depression and high cholesterol.

The body’s methylation processes naturally slow down due to age, disease and malnourishment. To restore the balance, the necessary nutrients include the B vitamins, folic acid, Tri-methyl-glycine (TMG) and SAM-e. The importance of SAM-e to improve methylation is significant. But, most supplements that contain it are ineffective, because stomach acid renders it inactive.

Enteric Coating is of Key Importance

A supplement must have what is called an enteric coating that allows it to pass through the stomach and into the small intestine, where it can be broken down and enter the bloodstream where it goes to work. Please note this important key fact: Supplements without enteric coating can lose up to 95% of its nutritional value. But a nutritional supplement that has an enteric coating can deliver up to 95% or more of its nutrients. Now that is a significant difference.

Antioxidants Must Be The RIGHT KIND

Your daily multi-vitamin probably contains some antioxidants and B-vitamins, but very few supplements on the market contain antioxidants like: flavonoids, alpha lipoic acid, turmeric, glutathione, resveratrol, B-vitamins, carnosine, TMG and SAM-e. An enteric coating is rarely included, because it costs more.

The importance of carnosine, resveratrol, TMG and SAM-e are not heavily advertised, because…again…they are expensive ingredients. A pharmaceutical company is about to release their own line of resveratrol supplements, although they are calling them prescription drugs. Those of us that pay attention to research concerning unique nutritional supplements have been taking resveratrol for years and will continue to do so, without paying the price that the pharmaceutical company will charge.

Natural versus Synthetic

There is another problem with most vitamin supplements on the market. The antioxidants that they contain are synthetic, not natural. The synthetic versions of vitamins are “similar” to those found in nature, but they are not “identical” and they do not provide the same health benefits.

Beware of Synthetic Ingredients

For example, numerous studies have shown the health benefits of vitamin E in the prevention of free radical damage, the improvement of circulation, for tissue repair, to reduce inflammation and reduce the risk of cancer. But, when researchers try to duplicate these results, using the synthetic form of vitamin E, it cannot be done. In fact, synthetic vitamin E may actually be bad for your health, because it is derived from toxic petroleum byproducts.

The bottom line is that most supplement companies do not use the correct form of a nutrient (natural) and they do not use the correct delivery system, which, in most cases, is a tablet with an enteric coating.

Here's where things get good. Through years of research and being a health-buff, I have found one nutritional supplement that offers everything discussed here so far.

To get all of the nutrients mentioned above, as well as all of the nutrients listed below, such as:

Vitamin D

Minerals, including calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc

Trace elements, including iodine and molybdenum

Enzymes, including amylase and lipase

Other amino acids, including ATP, arginine, lysine, proline and taurine

Carotenoids (vegetable forms of the A-vitamins)

Herbal extracts like green tea and ginkgo biloba

You could take a handful of different pills and spend hundreds of dollars or more per month. Or, you can do what I do now and takeTotal Balance Supplement. If you take the recommended dosage you get 76 different bio-active ingredients, every day. There is no better value for the money that I have found and I've been taking and researching supplements for years.

Over the years, I have thrown away bottle after bottle or simply pushed it to the back of the shelf. Not only were they ineffective, some of them, like B-vitamins without an enteric coating, actually made me feel sick until I stopped.

Stop wasting money…get healthier…and possibly extend your life span. The benefits of each of the 76 different supplements are explained in great detail by clicking here.

To learn more. With no exaggeration, it could be the best thing that you ever do for your health.
