My Wellness Advice ~ What Herbs & Supplements do I use? ~ People often ask me for advice about Vitamins, Minerals and other Supplements that I use and recommend. I grew up on a small farm in Northern Sweden. There wasn’t much access to a Doctors office or Clinic at the time and my Mother took care of most of our health treatment. She favored natural preventive treatments that kept us all healthy and active. She taught me some of what she used, though I must admit that I am not the natural healer that she was. We must all take action to keep our bodies as healthy as possible. Of course, we must exercise and eat smartly but we also need a little extra help with supplements. Basic Essentials: Omega 3 – Everyone needs this! Omega 3 is basically healthy fish oils. It helps maintain normal Cholesterol and Blood Pressure levels, It also helps in promoting a healthy complexion and enhances positive mood. But the big Immediate Benefit, every time you use it….. Brain Power! I find that Omega 3 gives me an immediate boost in focus and clear thinking. § Calcium § Anti-Oxidants – There are these nasty little things called “Free Radicals” that cause all kinds of damage to your body every day. We are exposed to Free Radicals through Pollution, Aging and Stress, three things that we can not avoid. § Multi-Vitamins – We don’t necessarily get all of the Vitamins, Minerals & Nutrients that we need from our food. So, we take a Multi-Vitamin. § Aloe – My Mom was a bit of healer back in Sweden. She taught me that Aloe is good for my digestion and is a very good immunity booster. This time of the year I use it to fight off those pesky Colds that try to bring me down. There are other benefits such as Skin and Hair health as well.  E-mail: charlotte_pt1@comcast.net This site is © Copyright Columbia Personal Trainer 2006, All Rights Reserved. Free web templates
