[Best Syndication] Vitamin D is a group of fat-soluble prohormones. Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3 are the two major forms of these prohormones. Vitamin D3 is created when the sun is exposed to skin. Sunlight has ultraviolet B radiation rays that are key for your body to make vitamin D3.
Vitamin D is important to help maintain organ systems. Vitamin D is well known for its aid in forming bone and is necessary to develop strong bones. Vitamin D is also important in the process of regulating calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood and it also promotes calcium to be re-absorbed via the kidneys to be stored for a later use in the bones.
Foods can be fortified with a synthetic vitamin D supplement. Cereals and milk are often fortified with vitamin D. Depending on the country that you live in will determine the amounts and extent that foods have been fortified.

You: Staying Young - Michael F. Roizen and Mehmet C. Oz |
|
[Best Syndication] Dr. Oz was on yesterday to finish up a two part series on ‘Oprah’ which discussed ways that you can reverse aging and to help keep you younger longer. Dr. Oz said in two weeks you can reverse aging in your body - chemically speaking. Habits take hold after 3 weeks, but after 3 months you can actually measure a reduction in aging.
Dr. Oz added that the only person that can cure you is you! He often has patients come into his practice wanting him to cure them, he can only treat the symptoms, but the lifestyle choices you do every day will have more impact on your health.
The first segment on the show was Frank and Elaine who are unhealthy. Frank, 52, is a part time professional bowler that is overweight, has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and Type 2 Diabetes. He said that he takes between 14 – 15 pills a day to treat all of these conditions. Elaine is 45 and is an insurance broker that feels like she is 65 years old. She says that she has a stressful career and is tired. Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen visited at their home to assess their health and lifestyle. He weighed 270 and she weighed 223 pounds. Both are unable to keep up with the fitness test. They both took the biophysical 250 blood test to help see how they are aging.

(Best Syndication) British researchers say that a relatively small amount of omega-3 fatty acid can lower blood pressure. The King’s College team believes eating a non-fish based source of Omega-3 could also lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.
The omega-3 tested came from algae and not from fish. So what is the difference? Fish oil contains both Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) while algae omega-3 contains only DHA. Since there are vegetarians that do not eat fish, the researchers wanted to know if DHA alone could lower blood pressure.

Editor’s Note: While most of us will shop and compare for a television, we often forget this when it comes to our medical needs. If you find that you or one of your loved ones have need for medical equipment, remember to shop around. The internet is one option to buying medical equipment at a deep discount. Your doctor gives you a prescription for the equipment with the specification and you will be able to order these items mail order. This can be extremely financially helpful if your health insurance coverage is limited and you have high deductibles.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is recommending stronger warning labels on common over the counter pain relievers including aspirin, ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Most people view drugs like acetaminophen as being completely safe, but misuse of the drug has become the number-one cause of liver failure in the US.
These common painkillers are safe if used as directed. The problem is, not everyone uses the drugs as directed, and some of the drugs, including acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are incorporated in other medications including cold medicines. Every year there are roughly 7,600 deaths and 76,000 hospitalizations in the U.S. due to these pain relievers.
