4 Types of Supplements Before You Eat
If we enter a store or pharmacy drugs, there are so many multivitamin supplements on the shelves. But we never moved to buy it, unless forced by the clerk? Most of you might think, if you are getting the vitamins and minerals from natural food sources, that these supplements?
The problem is, how often do we eat healthy? Fruits and vegetables we eat every day is the recommended dose appropriate?
According to Dr. Alan Logan, a naturopathic physician and professor at the Harvard School of Continuing Medical Education, under conditions where the need for vitamins and minerals you are not satisfied, there are four types of supplements you can consume . Remember, supplements do not replace a healthy diet should we eat, but extra food.
1. Multivitamins and minerals. These supplements will be regularly each day make sure you get all the vitamins and minerals you need. Because all the vitamins and minerals that complement each other to provide the best health benefits. If you take vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, or any other single antioxidant vitamins, it would be detrimental. You will get a pro-oxidant. Consumption of a single dose of a multivitamin that does not exceed the daily dose.
2. Vitamin D. Exposure to the sun in the morning, will provide enough vitamin D for several weeks. However, the use of sunscreen can block our ability to absorb vitamin D. Dr. Logan also said that taking vitamin D separately (besides a multivitamin) will not hurt. Unfortunately, some people in some places that get less sun will not get that luxury. Therefore, they need to take vitamin D supplements to meet their needs. The recommended dose is 1000 IU (international units) per day.
3. Fish oil. These fatty acids are commonly found in fish or plants.Fish is considered a source of omega-3 better than the plants, because the omega-3 found in plants (called alpha-linolenic acid) must be converted by the liver DHA to obtain benefits. While most of the omega-3 found in fish have been converted by the fish itself. So if you do not eat oily fish at least three times a week, you need to consume fish oil supplements.
In the meantime, if you are vegetarian, you can get omega-3 fatty acids from plants such as flax seeds, nuts and walnuts. Also make sure you get enough vitamin B6 and vitamin B3, folic acid, zinc and selenium, to maximize conversion rates. The recommended daily dose is 1 gram of fish oil with EPA / DHA.
4. Probiotics. If you do not eat fermented foods such as yogurt, on a regular basis, you probably will not have enough bacteria in the voucher system to digest properly. In return, you can take probiotic supplements. You need to know, a lot of yogurt also has a low quality. Therefore, be smart to choose a more pure and natural yogurt. Types of probiotics could be an option among many of kefir or yogurt Greek.
