Top 3 Supplements You Need the Most

What are the top 3 supplements that your body needs most?  They are calcium, Vitamin D, and Omega 3 fatty acids from fish oil.

Here is the latest post from Newsmax Health on the said article.   (Dr. Mercola harps on this very often.  Omega 3 is his favorite)

 1.         Vitamin D “is the most common nutrient deficiency in America today,” says Steven Masley, M.D., author of The 30-Day Heart Tune-up. Vitamin D is created in our body when sunshine hits our skin. However, most of us spend our days indoors. “We spend far less time outdoors than our ancestors did,” says Dr. Masley. “Every cell in your body needs vitamin D to function at its best.” Deficiencies are responsible for high blood pressure, increased risk of heart attacks, and strokes, says the Tampa-based physician.

Low vitamin D is also associated with loss of bone density, increased risk of cancer, autoimmune disorders, Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes. In England, there was a recent surge in rickets, a childhood bone disease caused by lack of vitamin D. “Since it is difficult to get enough of this vitamin from food,” says Dr. Masley, “you need to get plenty of sunshine, but without letting yourself get burned.”

Bottom line: Take a vitamin D supplement with 2,000 IUs daily.

2.         Calcium. Although Americans eat a lot of calcium-rich foods, including dairy products, we tend to be deficient because our modern diets are too acidic, which reduces the amount of the mineral in our bodies, says nutritionist J.J. Virgin, author of The Virgin Diet Cookbook. She says that beyond protecting bone health, calcium has a calming effect on the nervous system. It’s found in dairy foods, green vegetables and salmon.

Bottom line: Take a 500-mg calcium supplement daily.

3.         Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation that leads to heart disease and cancer. There are three types: EPA and DHA, which you find in fatty fish like salmon and mackerel, and ALA which you get in vegetable oils and walnuts. “Ideally you should be eating three to four servings of wild, cold-water seafood each week,” says Virgin. 

Bottom line: Take 2 grams of a high-quality fish oil supplement daily.

Okra is good for high blood presssure and diabetes

If you want to avoid statins and commercial antidiabetes drug, you can take this common vegetable - called lady finger.  or gumbo,   bhindi,  or bhindai  in other places.  It is also an aphrodisiac.

(Scientific name:   Abelmoschus escalantus)

It is rich in calcium which contributes to the lowering of high BP.  My neighbor is taking okra, is diabetic and boasts she no longer takes metformin.  Her blood sugar is normal.  Her relatives in US swear by okra in normalizing their bp.

It is rich in anti oxidants and rich in fibers and thus helps in weight loss.  It normalizes the rate of absorption of sugar from the intestinal tract. It is rich in potassium, magnesium and calcium.  Calcium and potassium helps reduce high bp.

Cholesterol lowering properties:  "Okra's mucilage binds cholesterol and bile acid carrying toxins dumped into it by the filtering liver." (from Pyroenergen)

It is good for maintaining healthy and smooth skin that is why Cleopatra in ancient times and Yang Guafei ate okras.

For lowering of blood sugar, cut okra into pieces and soak in water and let it stand overnight.  Drink the water.  Do this daily

Mini-Strokes Fueled Margaret Thatcher's Dementia Fight Special: Bring your own linens Scientists ID New Heart Culprit in Red Meat Study: Non-dairy Calcium Prevents Kidney Stones Sponsor Mothers—bring your own linens Dear Reader, Here's something interesting most Americans don't know… About 40 years ago, a significant event took place in Britain, which caused everyone in the country to get poorer… overnight. This event also contributed to massive strikes in nearly every sector... from trash collectors to hospital workers. In fact, things got so bad at one point that many British hospitals were reduced to accepting only emergency patients. And mothers giving birth had to bring their own linens! The British government even had to limit businesses to using electricity for only three consecutive days' each week, and TV companies were required to cease broadcasting at 10:30pm... to further conserve electricity. What could cause so much turmoil in such a wealthy and stable country like Britain? Well, one of the most widely-read financial journalists in America has put together a fascinating analysis of the situation. Even more startling: He says the exact same thing that happened in Britain nearly 40 years ago, is about to take place right here in America! Yet not 1 in 100 U.S. citizens has a clue about what is very likely to take place. I strongly encourage you to read this journalist's thorough take on this fascinating subject, so that you can prepare for what appears to be surely coming to America very soon. We've posted this journalist's full analysis on our website. You can view it free of charge, here.

The post pitches a protein binding calcium.  Calcium is the most important element in the body.   A delicate balance is needed for the amount of calcium in the brain.  Too much can be toxic for the brain.  Here comes Prevagen  which maintains the right balance of calcium in the brain.

                                         


Too much calcium can damage the brain and accelerate aging.   Other nutritional supplements do not have effect on the brain.  (Only this product has?)
