Get the Most Out of Your Multivitamin with These 5 Nutrients:
 You shouldn’t skip on a good multivitamin. They offer a wide range of nutrients in one convenient package. They also tend to cost less than buying all of your vitamins and minerals separately. It’s a great way to get some of the nutrition you need on a daily basis. And they do more than put spring in your step.
 One study out of Germany shows that taking a multivitamin can reduce risk of death from cancer by 48 percent.1 But does your multivitamin really do it all? Many multivitamins are fairly weak. You may not be getting enough of what you really need. Some multivitamins may not even contain key vitamins or minerals that you need to feel your best. It’s all about knowing what to look for. Here are five nutrients your multivitamin should definitely include…

 1) Vitamin D: The sunshine vitamin is a superstar nutrient. You’ve heard its praise before and for good reason. Vitamin D is essential for strong bones and a healthy immune system. It helps keep inflammation in check. Men, you may want to pay particular attention to Vitamin D… It’s a key player in regulating testosterone production. Vitamin D is the most important vitamin you can take for overall health.

 2) Magnesium: Most Americans don’t get enough magnesium. That’s a real problem. Magnesium is essential for over 300 functions in the human body. It’s great for muscle and nerve function. It also helps control blood sugar levels and blood pressure.

 3) Vitamin K: Vitamin K can have huge benefits on your overall health. It comes in two forms, K1 and K2. Vitamin K2 is especially beneficial to heart health and has been shown to help prevent heart disease. Better yet, it can cut your risk for diabetes in half. Vitamin K even promotes healthy bones.8 4) Vitamin C: This may seem obvious, but vitamin C is an extremely important antioxidant. It’s great for when you feel a cold coming on… But it does so much more than that. Vitamin C is responsible for collagen production in the body.9 Collagen is key to pain-free joints. There’s even research to show that vitamin C can shrink tumors and improve overall well-being in late-stage cancer patients.10 5) Vitamin A: Here’s another vitamin that you probably aren’t getting enough of. When most people think of vitamin A, they think of the beta-carotene found in carrots. But there’s more to it than that. Vitamin A does promote healthy vision. But it also supports the immune system, reproductive health, and organ maintenance. By taking vitamin A, you’re helping your eyesight and your vital organs function well. From strong bones to improved eyesight and even reduced diabetes risk, these five ingredients are extremely important to any multivitamin. Taking a quality multivitamin every day can make a huge difference on your energy levels, quality of life, and overall health. Don’t miss out! Like this Article?

Banana

Medical PK BANANA -A very interesting FACTS MUST SHARE............. Visit Us Now: http://MedicoPk.com/ This is interesting. After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again. Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet. DEPRESSION: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood. ANEMIA: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia. BLOOD PRESSURE: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke. BRAIN POWER: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert. CONSTIPATION: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives. HANGOVERS: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system. HEARTBURN: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief. MORNING SICKNESS: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness. MOSQUITO BITES: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation. NERVES: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.. Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady. ULCERS: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chroniclercases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach. TEMPERATURE CONTROL: Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature. So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has FOUR TIMES the protein, TWICE the carbohydrate, THREE TIMES the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals.. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A BANANA a day keeps the doctor away!' PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! Source:https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=501554719936574&set=a.267309446694437.61357.267308080027907&type=1
