NutritionProper nutrition is very simple: eat a healthy diet and take quality nutritional supplements. Poor nutrition contributes to many health problems in our society, especially Metabolic Syndrome. See the following video for more information.What is a healthy diet?The most important thing about any diet is that you can stick to it consistently. You must be able to follow your dietary plan for the rest of your life, not just for a few months, for it to be successful for you. Weight Watchers, Nutri-System, The Paleo Diet, The Atkins Diet, The Zone Diet and many other popular diet programs have all been successful for thousands of people, find one that you can live with. A customized diet from a professional dietician can be a good idea as well.What nutritional supplements do people need to take?There are a few nutritional supplements that all people should take every day.

American Association of Neurological Surgeons: High-Dose Omega-3 Oils used to Treat Non-Surgical Neck and Back PainDoctors Guide, April 20, 2005By Cameron Johnston "Investigators at the University of Pittsburgh have treated chronic pain patients with high doses of Omega-3 Fatty Acids - the ingredient found in many cold-water fish species such as salmon." "The researchers say their findings suggest that this could be the answer to the adverse effects seen with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitors, which have been associated with potentially catastrophic adverse effects." Dr. Joseph Maroon, neurosurgeon and specialist in degenerative spine disease at the University of Pittsburgh reported the findings April 19th at the 73rd meeting of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons. Patients who took high doses of Omega-3 oils were impressed enough with the outcomes that they chose to continue using the oils and forego the use of NSAIDs. The 250 study patients suffered from chronic neck or back pain but were not surgical candidates, and they had been using daily doses of NSAIDs. After 75 days of taking high doses of Omega-3s, 59% had stopped taking prescription drugs for their pain. "88% said they were pleased enough with the outcomes that they planned to continue using the fish oils." "No significant adverse effects were reported." Note from Dr. Brown: In this study they used 3000 mg (3 grams) of Omega-3 Fatty Acids from fish oils per day. |
