Allergy Season and Supplements

In the northern hemisphere, allergy season is upon us! Flowers are opening, trees are leafing out, pollen is everywhere! (At least, if the weather is warm enough...) It seems as if everyone around you is sniffling and sneezing. Maybe you are, too!

Allergies can sap your strength, drain you of energy, and make you feel generally rotten. Even if you're taking  allergy tablets to fight off the histamine symptoms, you can still feel tired and listless, and as if the only thing you want to do is pull the covers over your head until things stop blooming.

Eating locally produced honey can go a long way toward helping you fight allergies to plants that bloom in your area. Sometimes it can be hard to find, but if you find you're allergic to many of the plants growing where you live, it may be worth your while to seek out a local beekeeper and purchasing some. The pollen turned into honey by bees will help you build up an immunity to the allergens. If you are managing diabetes or another medical condition, be sure to check with your doctor before adding sweets of any kind to your diet. Honey is appropriate for children ONLY if they are above two years old. Under that, it can interfere with their digestive system.

News reports I've seen recently indicate that this may be one of the worst years for allergies in decades! What can you do to manage allergies? Aside from adding in locally grown honey and taking antihistamines, you may want to supplement your diet. While vitamins and minerals have not yet been found to help in the fight against allergies, getting good nutrition always allows the body to work better. We are designed to take in good food, as close to nature as we can. Freshly picked fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, adequate amounts of fiber, all go a long way to making us stronger and healthier.

In addition, supplementing your healthy diet with exercise and a good source of vitamins and minerals gives your body two more weapons in the fight for good health. Ever since the AMA announced in its Journal that the way America grows its food has seriously depleted our soil and we now must take vitamin and mineral supplements, nutrition companies have been promoting their assortment of nutritional supplements. Most of them have one thing in common: they come in either tablet, capsule, or gel cap form. A few come as powders or fizzy tablets to dissolve in water. Those are on the right track.

Liquids are absorbed into the body much faster than tablets. In addition, the body can absorb up to 90% of liquids, compared to 10-30% of solid tablets. Doesn't it make sense to use a liquid vitamin and mineral complex supplement, knowing it will get into your system almost immediately?

If you compare Vemma liquid multivitamin with other high-end vitamins on the market, you'll see the price is about the same. The nutrition you get from it, however, is far greater than anything you can get with a tablet. And, while there are other liquid multivitamins with minerals available in stores, the ones we've tried taste horrible! The amazing thing about Vemma is how they can take vitamins and minerals, fit them into a juice form, and still have them taste delicious! But you don't have to take my word for it. Visit www.enthusiasmpays.vemma.com and order some today. Your order is covered by a 30 day money-back guarantee, so what do you have to lose?

Have a great week!

Can Diet Supplements Prevent Illness?

The debate has been raging for decades. Nobel laureate Linus Pauling's research into vitamin C and the common cold was a landmark study. It seemed to prove that if vitamin C couldn't actually prevent or shorten the duration of a cold, it could at least lessen its severity. Subsequent research has sought to debunk that theory, but while there are scientists on each side of the debate, one thing remains clear: vitamin supplementation is necessary in America today.

Due to the rise of artificial and chemical fertilizers instead of natural compost, American commercial farming soil is one of the most nutrition-deficient growing areas in the modern world. Commercial growers are urged to get produce to market sooner and make produce last longer, which means it generally arrives where you buy it not only picked while still unripe, but with added chemicals whose effects are still unknown in the long term.

With vitamin and mineral content in our food at an all-time low, we need to supplement our diet. By adding these missing essential nutrients, we can improve our health at the cellular level, where nutrition is the most vital. Getting the vitamins and trace minerals directly into our bodies' cells helps them regenerate faster and better.

While this may not prevent every disease, it can certainly keep us in better shape physically. When our cells are in good condition, they are able to fight off disease more effectively. On the other hand, if we're stressing our cells out by exposure to toxins in the atmosphere or our diet, we're setting ourselves up to have to fight harder to avoid disease.

Here's what I've found recently: our church Easter pageant was this past Thursday and Friday, and we had practices all week beforehand, including two complete run-throughs on Wednesday. Many in the choir were fighting off colds. Once upon a time, when I was not taking supplements, I'd have come down with a cold the early part of the week and missed the pageant entirely.

Thanks to my supplements, not only did I survive the pageant and still able to sing, though I was coming down with a cold on Friday, the cold was much less severe than it would have been previously. I was even able to make it to church Easter morning and play the organ.

Not only that, I don't feel completely crushed the way I used to feel whenever I had a cold. I took extra doses of vitamin C, of course, and also extra doses of Vemma liquid nutrition. The blend of vitamins, minerals, mangosteen and aloe enabled me to keep going. I fully believe it can do the same for you.

It's cold & allergy season. Don't you owe it to yourself to find out more?
