Navigating the coffee conundrum
Coffee is a beloved drink for many of my patients - revered for its ability to awaken the mind, invigorate the senses, and frankly help get us through our busy days. Yet, beneath its aromatic veil lies health benefits and drawbacks that warrant careful consideration.
How likely are you to be deficient in vitamins or minerals?
Based on the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2012, about 10% or less of the general population had nutrition deficiencies for selected vitamin and minerals.
Are there healthier Halloween treats?
While sugar on special occasions can be ok, we must be vigilant about the toxins within artificial candy. There are ways to make healthier choices for our kids on Halloween that limits toxin exposure while allowing them to celebrate the holiday.
Are you protein deficient?
Protein deficiency is the second most common nutritional deficiency I see in my patients. When protein is digested it is broken down into amino acids which are building blocks for bones, muscles and connective tissue. It also is the building blocks of our organs.
What is the quality of your supplements?
Recently there has been a lot of news about the quality of nutritional supplements. In over thirty years or using nutrition to restore health I have found that many patients have failed prior to seeing me because they used substandard products in trying to heal themselves.
