    FOUNDATIONAL NUTRITION

    With Rachael Paddock, HHP, MM and Michael McCright, HHP, DD

    When it comes to nutrition, there are many varying views as to what you should consider to be the most important.

    Number 1: Our Nutritional Foundation should start with MINERAL SUPPLEMENTATION. To eliminate assimilation problems a good liquid mineral supplement would probably be the best choice.

    The second Item that many people overlook is how to fight or eliminate the oxidation (aging process) that goes on 24 / 7. Free radicals are being generated on a continuous basis. We get them from exercising, unhealthy foods, chemicals we breathe in, the water we bathe in, the potions and lotions we slather on our skin, they all contribute to our toxic over-load. Many people are now familiar with the term (ORAC) Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity is a term used to describe the method of measuring the antioxidant capacities of certain foods. The higher the ORAC number the greater the ability it has to eliminate free radicals. Many specific herbs and plants have been identified to help fight off the free radicals circulating in the blood stream and stored in the muscles and adipose layers of the body. Realizing that there are over 1100 groups of free radicals brings us to the conclusion that it takes more than a single antioxidant to do the job. Some companies have grouped together a synergistic blend of ingredients which I believe is the way to go and would appear to be the more effective than just one single plant or herb. Once again I recommend a liquid blend of various antioxidants, which will decrease the assimilation problems that occurs with tablets and capsules.
