Life is Healthy

Following on from my last post about Niacin (vitamin B3 ), and how it helped lower my blood cholesterol and thus helping to improve my health the natural way without the aid of drugs and all its side effects.

I would now use Niacin 100mg all of the time, however I was not able to buy Niacin on its own this time, so I decided to take a good mega dose of vitamin B complex, this is a great natural supplement and has many health benefits and includes Niacin 100mg.

Each tablet, which is time released contains 100mg of Thiamine (vitamin B1). Thiamine promotes a feeling of optimism, helps overcome stress, depression, anxiety and poor memory. It stabilizes appetite and maintains normal heart function. Doctors will sometimes give Thiamine to alcoholics as all Thiamine is flushed out of the body.

Riboflavin (vitamin B2) 100mg is also in the complex, it is vital for metabolism and energy production.

Niacin (vitamin B3) we have already talked about, and apart from helping lower cholesterol it improves blood circulation preventing blood clots and heart attacks.

Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels and increase energy, particularly in stressful situations.

Vitamin B6 100mg has many uses, it promotes muscle energy by releasing stored sugar from the liver, it controls obesity, lowers cholesterol and prevents atherosclerosis. It also also inhibits the release of histamine and is therefore beneficial to asthmatics, maintains a correct acid-alkaline ratio and assists the function of nerves. In pregnancy it prevents morning sickness. In higher doses of 200mg per day it can be useful in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome and epileptic seizures. Women taking the pill should also consider taking vitamin B6.

Vitamin B12 100mg can be used to treat pernicious anaemia, fatigue, depression, Alzheimer's disease, asthma, multiple sclerosis, hearing loss and AIDS.

Folic acid (see earlier post).

Biotin is useful in the treatment of hair loss, greying, and scalp conditions, it can also alleviate eczema and dermatitis.

Choline is vital for learning and memory, it reduces cholesterol, and maintains a healthy liver, kidneys and nerves.

Inositol produces a calming effect on the body. It also can lower cholesterol, maintains a healthy skin, and lower high oestrogen levels that can lead to breast lumps.

So vitamin B complex, for me is a complete protection for my health.

Take a look at yourself and see if you can improve your health in 2010. Over Christmas and New year we all eat and drink too much, it is nice but it has to come to an end.

I know that I have put on weight, and I feel unhealthy. My asthma is worse, as is pain in my stomach, which could indicate my ulcer is returning. I do not smoke which is a good thing. I intend to cut down on alcohol which should also help.

I will start to take Odourless garlic supplements 1000mg. This should help my Ulcer and help with my Asthma. It should also lower my cholesterol level and my blood pressure, which I know has been about 160/100, much too high. It will also lower my resistance to infection such as colds and flu.

So what else can I do?. Exercise is important. I need to do this every day. I will plan to walk about 30 minutes every day. I intend to start doing breathing exercises as explained in an earlier post.

Think positive and think healthy in 2010.
