How to Get Started with Supplements Intake for Health, Vitality and Wellness

-
The questions to ask and possible answers are: Are we getting enough nutrients for health maintenance, protection, promotion and wellness during the life-course? The answer is NO. And how do we know? Extensive literature indicates that there is a strong association between ill-health (especially chronic diseases) and nutrient inadequacies, imbalances or excesses. Are there solutions to the nutrient-health associated relationship? Yes. The most realistic and reliable approach to the nutrient-health puzzle is to supplement good eating habits with nutritional supplements especially micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals. Food alone is not enough. How you feel is the best indicator of the need for supplementing your nutrient requirements.
Considerations on supplementing our nutritional requirements  can be based on our own informed decisions, recommendations from our health care providers, or decisions from our guardians. This can come about at any stage throughout the life course, from conception through birth to old age. 

 Personal Experiences

 In my own personal experience , getting started with nutritional supplements came about as a result of experiencing various chronic ailments and failure to get help or health solutions from mainstream conventional medical health providers.
I experience a multitude of health concerns including: heart arrhythmia, heart palpitations, deteriorating vision, breathing problems, headaches, high blood pressure, insomnia, nightmares, muscle weakness especially calf muscles, poor concentration, persistent twitching of eyelids and muscles all over the body including unusual parts of the body such as on the head with not much of muscle to talk about.  I went through a couple of physicians but no specific medical diagnosis was made, however, the physicians were professional enough to let me know that they could not come up with a substantive diagnosis, and therefore could not provide me with any specific and assuring therapeutic intervention..
With not much else expected from my designated health-care providers, I was left with no options than to get down to researching to find how I could help myself out of these health challenges. Through extensive reading, I got to understand and work on the health concerns that took a toll on me, which is part of how I got started with the issues of healthy foods or health diet and nutritional supplements.

 What I learnt is that nutritional supplementing is necessary for health, vitality and wellness.

 Questions and comments are welcome.

Be the Boss of Your Own Health Through the Nature Cure Approach

-
The concepts of nature cure as a natural health approach was well elucidated in the early 20th Century  by one of the first pioneer authors Henry Lindlahr, in one of his book series  of  nature cure as follows: “ It is vastly more than a system of curing aches and pains; it is a complete revolution in the art and science of living. It is the practical realization and application of all that is good in natural science, philosophy and religion. “The philosophy of Nature Cure is based on sciences dealing with newly discovered or rediscovered natural laws and principles, and with their application to the phenomena of life and death, health, disease and cure”. Use of nature cure as an enabler for being the boss of your own health (taking charge of your own health)  is based on the simplicity of  the nature cure approach as compared to the orthodox medical approach in addressing  health matters.  Lindlahr (1922) argues that nature cure is considered  ...

Taking Charge of your Health - Understanding Basics in Philosophy of Health is Key

-
  Ontology  provides us with the insights into the nature of existence of the subject matter of interest, in this case, health, in order for us to get to the depth of reality. The study of health  is the study of life. Health is a natural condition of life. Perfect health is the ideal condition of life. Health cannot be extricated from life, for we cannot talk of health, in nonliving matter. The philosophy of health is, in essence, the philosophy of living matter/life. Natural Health , Holistic Health, or Natural Hygiene is the exploration   of all the elements   and influences upon health we   can examine to improve our   lives. Certain truths and natural   laws apply to all humanity  and all living matter . Natural Health, Natural Hygiene  concerns itself with those principles  (fundamental truths, comprehensive laws or doctrines, tenets) applicable to human life so that we may wisely apply them to our   lives. Animals  ...

Why We Need To Supplement Nutrients Intake

-

  Most of our health care providers including some M.Ds, nutritionists, dieticians, etc believe and/or would want us to believe that we can get adequate nutrients for optimum health through eating a balanced diet. My guess is such beliefs are based on assumptions derived from Dietary Reference Intake values, accepted as science-based by the biomedical community and policy makers. Of course DRI values are so low that it makes sense to believe that you can  meet your nutrient requirement from food intake through eating a variety of foods (given, for example that one orange can provide approx. 65 mg which is within the DRI range for adults). The challenge is: can we achieve optimum health through getting our nutrients from food alone? I argues we don’t, because daily nutrients intake from food alone are ridiculously low ( Hickey and Roberts, 2004), to achieve optimum health. Nutrition is an essential component of our health  and that of any living matter. The science of nutr...
