Guidelines to Your  Daily Nutritional Needs.

The human body has the biological potential to live to an age of 120-140 years, almost twice the current average life span of 75 years. Three major killer diseases, Heart attack, Stroke and Cancer account for roughly 80% of the death statistics in the US alone. Adverse reactions to prescription drugs and accidents are the next leading causes.

Some of the determining factors that influence how long we live include the foods we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe. 

Many life expectancy researchers subscribe to the theory that the aging process itself is an actual disease - a disease brought about by the continual assault on the cells, tissues and organs of the body by Free Radical injury. (Free Radicals are unstable molecules that bind to proteins, enzymes, cell membrane lipoproteins and DNA to alter or destroy the function of the cell.)  This injury not only underlies the major killer diseases but also contributes to the development of many of the crippling degenerative diseases that rob us of our vitality and health. These include osteoarthritis, progressive brain dementia, cataracts, organ failure and loss of immune function. Free radical injury comes both from within the body as a result of the normal metabolic processes as well as from external sources in the environment such as chemical pollutants, UV light, radiation, EMF's etc. How can we eliminate or at least reduce our exposure to such injury?

 THE FOODS WE EAT - : In addition to concerns about calories, fat and cholesterol in our diet one of the most important factors that will keep us healthy are the micronutrients that most of us are either missing or lack in adequate amounts in our average diet..

There are roughly 90 micronutrients essential to protect the body from the oxidative injury of free radicals. They include 17 Vitamins, 60 major and trace minerals, 12 essential Amino Acids and 3 Fatty Acids. In addition FIBER must also be considered an essential ingredient in our diet. Its lack along with a Vitamin C deficiency in the Standard American Diet (SAD) are perhaps the greatest contributing factor in the development of atherosclerosis and subsequent cardiac and vascular disease.

Healthy Nutritionals recognizes the importance of micronutient supplementation and has researched for several unique formulations for all ages from children to the elderly, including the aging "Baby Boomers" to help achieve optimal preventive health care.

1) Essential Micronutrients.  Any Preventive Health  program must start with a basic  foundation of  essential micronutrients that provide  as complete a listing as possible  of  all the vitamins, antioxidants and minerals  formulated to optimal levels  to ward off the ravages of free radical injury.

For Children from toddlers to early teens, Yummies (#02009,) are a tasty chewable source of Vitamin A,C,D,E,B1,B2,B6 and Pantothenic Acid along with minerals such a Calcium, Magnesium and Iodine. 

For teens and adults Grand Master (#02006) formula is especially valuable in meeting the required basic nutritional supplementation needs. It's unique formula is a single completely balanced high-potency form of vitamins, antioxidants and complement of 76 minerals both essential and trace.

For adults over 50 an alternative to Grand Master can be  Oraflow Plus (#02008)  containing higher levels of antioxidants, as well as essential vitamins, minerals and herbal homeopathic components that help reduce the onset of age related degenerative diseases. These formulas contain extra protection against free radical damage and help improve blood flow.

2) Fiber:  Fiber based products in the diet assist in waste elimination, help prevent heart disease and reduce the risk of certain cancers. Fiber including both soluble and insoluble forms can reduce the levels of serum cholesterol and triglycerides. High levels of these blood components are a contributing factor to the onset of vascular and cardiac disease and certain types of cancer. Our product line includes several fiber based products including Nuti-Fiber (#07004) a powder form supplement, a tasty way to add fiber to the everyday diet without changing eating habits. For a delicious high fiber shake we recommend  Good-to-Go Shakes (#07024) with 12 grams of both soluble and insoluble fiber.

3) Phytonutrients: Are you eating your vegetables? Chances are like over 90% of us you are not eating enough green vegetables to get the important phytonutrients needed. Due to soil depletion of minerals, use of pesticides and gas ripening of our fruits and vegetables you would have to eat a virtual truck load of veggies to get the required nutrients. Nutrition for life provides optimal "green vegetable" nutrients in several forms. Phytogreen(#02015) is a high potency antioxidant superfood in caplet form derived from such sources as Barley and Wheat Grass, Spirulina and Hyrdilla Algae,Grape Seed ans Green Tea extract, Ginseng and Ginkgo extracts. In addition Phytonol (#03015) contains a balance combination of two of the purest Oligomeric Proantocyanidins (OPC's) the most powerful antioxidants known.

Fruits & Veggies (#03021) is a blend of cruciferous phytonutrients,phytochemicals and active enzymes from 10 vegetables and 7 fruits in capsules  that provide a convenient way to add the nutrition of friuts and vegetables to your diet everyday.

The O2 Support (#03019) may also be used in a weight management program. This unique combination of antioxidants, minerals and vitamins aids in cellular respiration, enhancing electron transport and assisting in efficient utilization of oxygen by body tissues. 

3) Sports and Fitness Nutritionals.

These products  provide essential metabolic support for sports, excercise and workout routines. For the athlete has several products for exercise conscious people whether on a light or heavy workout schedule.

Ener-G (#08105) is the ultimate in sports performance drinks. It provides the correct replacement levels of electrolytes lost during strenuous work. It is low glycemic with no sugars to stimulate fat storage or cause rebound low blood sugar.

 O2 Support (#03019) contains many of the cofactors and coenzymes used in the energy cycle of the cell. This promotes energy metabolism and helps maintain metabolic activity essential to either a muscle weight gain or a fat loss program. Also Mineralyte (#020010) or Trace Colloidal Minerals (#06090) can be used to replace all important minerals lost during heavy workouts.

THE WATER WE DRINK -: Pure clean water for drinking is essential for good health. Unfortunately nearly all municipal water supplies in the US whether derived from underground aquifers or surface water sheds now contain some level of contamination with potentially dangerous organic chemicals, heavy metals, inorganic substances,

pesticides, herbicides,asbestos, bacteria, viruses and parasites (viz giardia & cryptosporidium). Even chemicals designed to enhance water quality such as chlorine, used to kill microorganisms, fluoride, used to prevent tooth decay and aluminum, used to clarify water have all now been shown to have deleterious effects on health.

While local government authorities wrestle with this problem and the health consequences it is important to remember that water for drinking constitutes less than 2% of the total municipal water consumed. The cost of making all water pristine pure for drinking would be astronomical. The answer to this problem lies in an effective and complete filtration and purification at the tap source in both the home and office.  Healhy Nutritionals carries several effective in home or office water filtration systems: These include the Nutri-Flow Counter Top Unit (#12010) and Undercounter Unit (#12011).

In addition to drinking water filters a charcoal based Shower Filters (#12013 ) effectively remove the chlorine from your bathing water. Remember the skin and lungs can absorb significant amounts of  vaporized chlorine in the shower.

THE AIR WE BREATHE: For most of us 90% of our time is spent indoors at home, in the office or car. Indoor air pollution has been labelled one of the major health risks by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Exposure to dust, dander, moulds, pollens, bacteria,viruses, tobacco smoke, chemical gases and vapors are all contributing environmental factors contributing to the development of chronic respiratory disease such as Asthma, Emphysema, Bronchitis, Sinus and Throat problems, Pneumonia and even Lung Cancer.

An effective method of Air Purification using Ozone Generation and Ionization has been shown to efficiently clean and sanitize the air of particulate matter and convert harmful gases into harmless components of water, oxygen and carbon dioxide. Such units are available from Nutrition for Life International for the home and workplace.

Three models of Essential Air Purifier Units  are available from in several colors including White Birch,Golden Oak,Walnut, Cherry and Ebony Black. The models are classified based on the area of the room or rooms covered. (eg. EA750 model covers 750 sq ft, EA1500 covers 1500 sq.ft and the EA2500 unit cover 2500 sq.ft) All units generate Ozone and Ions using a maintenance free "Cascading Tower Technology".
