A Balanced Diet

 

A good diet is so vital to your health.  I supplement when I can't eat right and supplement to handle any body problems, but the basic to good health it a good diet. 

What does that mean?  It means you have to eat for your health, not for you taste buds.  Like it or not all that processed food is not good for you.  I do have lots of information on the site on what vitamins to take if you do eat fast food, sugar, etc. etc. But you can't out-do the unhealthiness of a bad diet with supplementation alone.

What is Folic Acid? And Why is It Important to Your Health

Folic acids is a B vitamin that is also called B9. It is also referred to as Vitamin M, and Vitamin Bc.

Foods that are naturally high in folic acid include leafy vegetables (such as spinach, broccoli, and lettuce), okra, asparagus, fruits (such as bananas, melons, and lemons) beans, yeast, mushrooms, meat (such as beef liver and kidney), orange juice, and tomato juice.

Folic acid is needed for the proper development of the human body. It is involved in producing the genetic material called DNA and in numerous other bodily functions. It helps prevent changes to DNA. .

Folic acid is used in combination with other B vitamins. B vitamins work together

Folic Acid is necessary to activate the absorption of B12. 

Vitamin B12's primary use by the body is aiding in the production of red blood cells, and in helping to maintain the health of the central nervous system.  Both vitamins together help nerves to function properly.  Absorption of B1 into the body requires adequate supplies of vitamin B6, B12 and B9 (folic acid).

Folic acid is one of the B vitamins necessary to convert homocysteine to cysteine. Homocysteine levels are associated with a risk of heart disease & kidney disease. Cysteine is one of the components needed to create Glutathione which is the body’s master antioxidant and is found in every body cell.

Deficiencies of Folic Acid include ulcerative colitis, liver disease, alcoholism and kidney dialysis and anemia. .Deficiencies are connected to colon cancer and cervical cancer. It is used to prevent heart disease and stroke.

Folic acid deficiency is also associated with memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease, hearing loss, eye disease – macular degenearation (AMD), osteoporosis, sleep problems, depression, nerve pain, muscle pains, AIDS and gum infections. Deficiencies of folic acid is also linked to depression.

Folic acid is also needed with certain medications as the drug will deplete the body of folic acid. Check Drug Muggers which tells you which medications deplete the body of which nutrients. If you take medications, you need to read this book.

Folic acid can interact with certain drugs. It can result in the efficacy of the drug being lessened. You should always check with your pharmacist to see if you can take folic acid with the drug that you have been prescribed. (Pharmacists have a database to check for interactions of herbs, other drugs and some vitamins).

Make sure your B vitamin supplement includes Folic Acid.

 

 

 

 

A Better Type of Folic Acid

The inability of a part of world's population to assimilate and metabolize folic acid from food or supplements may jeopardize their health and increase the risk to their health due to the resulting deficiencies. Evidence shows that this folate metabolism problem can increase the risk of autism and many other health problems coming about due to folic B9 deficiencies.

Quatrefolic®, is a scientifically advanced folate with better bioavailability & stability than other forms of folic acid.

Bioavailability means the body will absorb it better. Thus, people who could not assimilate and metabolize folic acid can. 

Stability: This type of B9, has a unique room temperature stability. It is easier to handle in manufacturing which allows it to be used in dietary supplements as well as in food and beverages and used in combination with different vitamins & minerals.

Quatrefolate is now available in the RHP Nerve Support Formula

Support and Maintain Healthy Blood Sugar Levels

 

The key to supporting healthy blood sugar levels is proper diet, balanced nutrition and moderate exercise. We all know that it would be best to receive the nutrition we need from the food we eat.

Many of today's modern foods can actually rob the body of essential vitamins and minerals that it needs to support healthy blood sugar levels. If you can't get all the nutrition you need from food, you can supplement your diet with vitamins and minerals.

The Glucose Support Formula provides additional nutritional help in order to support healthy blood sugar levels.

Here is what one of our customers had to say about using it:

******************

"I now simply eat smaller meals, well-spaced out, with lots of good carbs in the form of vegetables together with taking the Glucose Support Formula and am doing great. Thank you so very much for all of your help! You are always there for me when I call and I do so appreciate it!"

From Karen Cobb in Virginia
