Abrams (Read his portfolio at http://www.Life-Choice.com/DrAbrams.html) 1. How Many Ways Are There To Treat, Promote And Improve Human Health? There are many methods to treat, promote, and improve human health, but if you look closely, it becomes very evident that there are only six basic ways. All of the other methods fall under one of the six basic categories. The basic categories include: exercise, nutrition/diet, medical/chemical/drugs, surgery, emotional/mental/mind body, biomechanical/structural. If you only use one of the six, you may be missing the boat back to health. Many health problems are multifaceted today and require more than one method to achieve optimum results. So, if your health care program falls short add other approaches to the program, it just might be what you have been missing. Also remember that nutrition is the basic foundation for building and maintaining a health body. What you eat today, walks and talks tomorrow! Diet and a targeted nutritional supplementation/support program can be helpful in all health restoration programs. Most people do not get all the nutrients they require on a daily basis from their diet alone. Nutritional supplementation can help to fill the holes that develop in your body armor due to a poor diet. 2. What Can I Do To Prevent Hemorrhoids? Try this simple formula and you may be able to say goodbye to hemorrhoids forever. First eat more high fiber foods - fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grains .... drink plenty of good water and that doesn't mean tap water - at least six cups a day .... stay active, this will reduce pressure in the anal and rectal veins which is a result from being in one position too long. Regular exercise also helps to prevent constipation. Follow this formula and you will feel much better overall and your hemorrhoids should be markedly improved or gone forever. Good Luck. 2. How Can I Beat My Heartburn Problem Without Drugs? That's easy, avoid foods that trigger it - alcohol, chocolate, peppermint and fat. Avoid caffeine in foods and over-the- counter pain medication. Also avoid carbonated drinks. If you're over weight ... lose it .... if you smoke, stop. If the problem effects you mainly at night - raise the head of your bed on four to six-inch blocks, or use a wedge pillow to elevate the upper half of your body Never, never, never go to bed with a full stomach. Also check to see if you are digesting properly, sometime the acid in the stomach come from poorly digested food, not your own stomach acids. 4. How Can I Avoid Or Eliminate Jaw Pain? To relieve jaw pain or TMJ pain as it is sometime referred to, give your jaw a rest during painful episodes. Eat soft foods, avoid extreme jaw movements like those involving gum chewing, wide yawning, eating thick sandwiches and singing loudly. Apply moist heat or ice packs - whichever feels better- to the chewing muscles along the side of the face. Also keep a detailed pain diary to help you identify triggers and avoid them. It will also help, when your mouth is closed, to keep your lips together, teeth apart, and tongue resting on the floor of the mouth. 5. Why Should A Pregnant Women Take Folic Acid Supplementation? Folic acid supplementation is worth consideration for all women of reproductive age. This B vitamin helps prevent brain and spinal column defects in newborns. To prevent such defects, women should begin taking 400 micrograms a day at least one month prior to conception ... and continue for at least three months afterward. If a women starts taking folic acid supplementation after learning she is pregnant, it may be too late for the nutrient's beneficial effects. So, if you are thinking about getting pregnant, start now, don't wait!!!! 6. I'm Taking Calcium For Osteoporosis, Do I Need Any Other Minerals? Women taking calcium to ward of osteoporosis should be sure to get enough magnesium too. The body aims to keep the two minerals in balance. Without enough magnesium, calcium is simply excreted. Fact, up to 70% of women are magnesium- deficient. If you're already taking calcium supplements, ask your health professional or nutritional consultant about adding a magnesium supplement or at least about eating more magnesium-rich foods like green leafy vegetables, whole-grain breads, cereals, soybeans, tofu, or yogurt. Better yet use a microcrystalline hydroxyapatite concentrate supplement, this type of supplement contains all the nutrients required for healthy bones. *************************************** If I haven't answered your question, call me on my personal 800 HOTLINE, it's a toll free call and I'll be happy to answer your question.
