TOP NUTRIENTS
What are considered TOP nutrients you MUST get in your diet or
supplements?

By Dr. Allen S. Josephs

FISH OIL

Precisely how fish oil works remains uncertain. People often ask me
whether it's better to eat fish or take fish oil supplements. I
happen to love consuming fish and do so two or three times a week.
The problem with excessive fish consumption, however, is the
associated toxins such as mercury and PCBs, which could be present.
This is especially dangerous for pregnant women. Most high-quality
fish oil supplements on the market deliver molecularly distilled
fish oil that is free of harmful heavy metals and toxins.
 
PROBIOTICS

on top of the list  is actually billions of nutrients bundled
together: probiotics. Your intestinal system is filled with these
friendly bacteria, which play an important role in helping maintain
overall health. Unfortunately, due to widespread antibiotic
use,chronic illness, aging and other factors, these friendly
bacteria can be greatly diminished. Increasing data suggests
probiotics can help maintain gastrointestinal health and may play a
role in supporting normal cellular growth in the bladder. When
choosing a probiotic product, make sure it contains large
quantities (in the billions) and multiple strains. Additionally,
taking a prebiotic to fuel the bacteria can heighten its beneficial
effects.
 
RESVERATROL

The next nutrient I'd briefly like to mention is resveratrol. I've
written about resveratrol often over the years and continue to be
fascinated by previous studies and constantly emerging medical
data. In 2009, resveratrol was shown to help prolong lifespan in
many animal species by activating certain proteins in the body.
Whether it has the same effect in humans has yet to be proven.
 
GREEN TEA and TURMERIC

Finally, two other nutrients that deserve an honorable mention are
green tea and turmeric, important bioflavanoids that are certainly
worth consuming on a supplemental basis.
