Supplements Save Lives

Wish you could enjoy fantastic health without the work? Now you can. The key is getting enough of the nutrients proven to help protect every cell in your body from the damage that can lead to everything from weight gain to heart disease to cancer to premature aging. What’s more, you only need to pop four supplements to reap these benefits.

1. Halve your cancer risk with vitamin D. Few of us have enough spare time to bask in the sun sun long enough to make sufficient vitamin D in our skin. Consequently nearly 80% of Americans are deficient. Even if we’re getting the present RDA –--200 IU daily for women under 50 and 400 IU after that—--research suggests that’s less than half what’s needed for optimal health. Studies indicate that bumping up your daily dose to 800 IU could cut your risk of cancer and heart attack in half, slow the progression of arthritis by 67 % reduce bone fracture risk by 33%, and slow the aging process by up to five years. Amazing. Every cell in your body needs vitamin D to function at its peak and repair day-to-day damage.

2. Burn extra fat with fish oil. We’ve known for years that fish oil helps prevent blood clots, strokes, even depression. It can even lower total cholesterol by 19%. New data shows it also helps dieters lose up to twice as much body fat each week. Fish oil reduces cellular inflammation, one of the key triggers of body fat formation. It also shuts down your brain’s production of hunger promoting hormones fr up to six hours and activates your liver’s fat-burning genes. Who doesn't love the sound of that?

3. Halt heart disease with magnesium. This mineral keeps more than 300 health boosting enzymes in your cells functioning at their peek, according to the author of the Magnesium Miracle. “Yet due to depleted soils 80% of women are deficient.” Taking a magnesium supplement daily could decrease your heart disease risk by 76%. Recommended: 400-500 mg. Food sources; green veggies, whole grains, nuts and legumes.

4. Stop germs cold with green tea. Thanks to the brew’s polyphenols, people who drink green tea daily or pop a green tea extract fend off five time more dangerous viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Those same polyphenols also disarm dangerous free radicals, resulting in a 30% lower risk of certain cancers, a 65% lower risk of high blood pressure and stroke, better blood-sugar control and fewer wrinkles and sagging. Sipping several cups daily even slows brain aging by 54%, according to researchers. No wonder lovers of green tea tend to live 16% longer than average.
