Health myths

Unfortunately, many individuals fall prey to certain health myths that can negatively affect their health, nutrition, wellness and longevity. Avoid the following healthy myths so that you can live well, achieve optimum health and enjoy life to the fullest extent!

Health Myth #1: Eating healthy allows me to get the nutrients I need.

 

 

• 40% of Americans do not get enough calcium in their daily diet.

 

• 68% do not get the recommended daily allowance of magnesium.

 

• 20% do not even get half the recommended amount.

 

If Americans are considered “overfed” how can we still be missing so many vital nutrients and be “undernourished? Basically there are two reason for this phenomenon. We are eating the wrong foods; foods that are highly processed, full of sugar and artificial ingredients. And due to the depleted soils when we do eat the “right” foods, the minerals are not present in those foods anymore.

Health Myth #2: Organic food solves the problem of good nutrition.

 

 

• According to a study by the USDA, organic food contains one-third fewer pesticide residues than conventionally grown foods. However, numerous studies over the last 50 years have shown
that organic foods have no significant difference in vitamins and minerals.

 

• According to an investigation by the US Senate, today, a person would have to eat twice as many tomatoesto get the same amount of calcium as they would in 1948. And they would have to eat 60 servings of spinach to get the recommended daily amount of iron.

 

Health Myth #3: Vitamins replace what my body doesn’t have.

 

 

• Most vitamin supplements are synthetic and contain inorganic
elements, binders, and fillers. These unnatural substances cannot be broken down, so they pass through the body — right along with the beneficial nutrients your body actually needs.

 

• According to the Physician’s Desk Reference, only10-20% of the nutrients in solid vitamins are actually absorbed by the body.

 

Health Myth #4: All mineral supplements are the same.

 

 

• Not all calcium preparations are absorbed equally.

 

• Calcium carbonate is often manufactured in a tablet form that does not readily dissolve, possibly resulting in constipation and providing little benefit to your health.

 

• Even so-called “complete” multivitamins rarely have the required daily value (DV) for necessary minerals such as calcium, magnesium, or potassium.

 

Remember, minerals are the building blocks of the body and without them other vitamins and supplements will not be absorbed properly.

 

Health Myth #5: Those who live healthy lives won’t face major health problems.

 

 

• Even the “healthiest” people develop illnesses and dis-eases, due to a lack of essential minerals in the body.

 

 

Thankfully, there are plenty of healthy solutions to achieve good health and wellness despite the myths listed above.

 

Healthy Solution #1: Seek well-rounded nutrition.

 

• Exercise is as important as well eating healthy. But we must also be aware of what we put into our bodies. Organic food has fewer pesticides and other toxic chemicals, and has more essential minerals than processed foods.

 

Healthy Solution #2: Replace what you are missing.

 

• It can be challenging and frustrating for even the most health-conscious person to reach recommended intake of trace minerals. Taking mineral supplements is a good way to replace what you lose throughout the course of the day, and what your body doesn’t get from the food you eat.

Healthy Solution #3: Find the right combination of supplements.

 

• In order to be absorbed properly by the body, calcium supplements must contain the necessary trace minerals. Find the right combination of supplements that provide your body with the necessary trace minerals you need.

 

Healthy Solution #4: Find the right provider of coral calcium.

 

• Many supplements and protein products contain 25-50% binders, fillers and other excipients. (Excipients are used to help in the manufacturing process making it less expensive for the manufacture to replace machine parts. Other than that there is no reason to have them in any supplement. This situation is somewhat similar to the need for extra preservatives and chemicals added to our food. (They are mostly for shelf life purposes) The supplement provider should ensure that the coral calcium supplement is excipient-free, and that the coral calcium is 100% natural.
