How long would most of us want to live? Or I should re-phrase, how long would we want to live healthily? I have never believe in true preventive medicine until I read the book, "What Your Doctor Doesn’t Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killling You," by Dr. Ray D. Strand. His simple message says, "Let’s protect and care for our body, and may we all live until we die."

In simple terms, good health is very important in later years. It is sad that most people take their health for granted until an ailment or disease happens to them. As such, according to Dr. Strand, we should practice true preventive medicine rather than post-problem medicine. True preventive medicine involve encouraging to take a threefold approach which is the ingredients of a healthy lifestyle : eating healthily, practicing a consistent exercise program and consuming a high-quality nutritional supplements. Eating healthily simply means a healthy diet with low-fat diet, which includes at least 7 servings of fruits and vegetables daily and participate in a modest exercise program.

As for high quality nutritional supplements, here are some tips which I extracted from a Health Magazine on how to select the right supplements:

o Look for optimum rather than RDA levels of essential nutrients.

o Choose a combination of vitamin and plant antioxidants.

o With minerals, choose chelated minerals as these are minerals combined with organic molecules that are absorbed via active transport mechanisms in the small intestine.

o Select a quality supplement developed on the basis of current research that guarantees potency, uniformity and disintegration.

o Avoid taking single vitamins

o Choose a properly formulated balance of essential antioxidants and chelated minerals and consider the brand’s background level of experiences, credibility and science.

Folks, wake up, change your lifestyle today for a betterment health tomorrow. Address your health issues in your younger days instead, otherwise you may live to regret for the rest of your life.
