Guide to Buying and Taking Dietary Supplements
Vitamins and minerals.
Multivitamins. Herbs. Picking these items can be very confusing. With more and more evidence suggesting that modern lifestyles
drain our bodies of essential nutrients, and that modern diets don't provide our bodies with the proper balance and level
of vitamins and minerals, dietary supplements are increasingly viewed as an important contributor to overall health. Yet exploring
shelves full of these items is often like trying to decipher a foreign language. Where do you find a translator?
 
The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (Public
Law 103-417, DSHEA) , authorized the establishment of the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) at the NIH. The ODS was
created in 1995 within the Office of Disease Prevention (ODP), Office of the Director (OD), NIH.
One of the purposes in creating the ODS was to promote scientific research in
the area of dietary supplements. Dietary supplements can have an impact on the prevention of disease and on the maintenance
of health. In the US, these ingredients are usually defined as including plant extracts, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, amino
acids, and hormonal products that are available without prescription and are consumed in addition to the regular diet. Although
vitamin and mineral supplements have been available for decades, their health effects have been the subject of detailed scientific
research only within the last 15-20 years. It is important to expand this research to include the health effects of other
bioactive factors consumed as supplements to promote health and prevent disease.

The No-Crunch Ab Workout
If you've been trying to crunch your abs to perfection
and not getting anywhere, my No-Crunch Ab Workout
may be your ticket to getting results.
The exercise routine "Trail" uses,
is called "Isometrics".
I first ordered the Charles Atlas
"Dynamic Tension" program through the mail, while stationed on the Island of Guam in 1957.
Then in 1959 read about "Isometrics"
in a sports magazine. Pro football players were using the program and tearing sinks off the wall's in the hotel's they
were staying in. So I rushed downtown in a flash and bought a "Isometrics Kit" from a sporting goods store at Salina, Kansas.
Still have part of the Kit.
Pelvic Tilt Exercises
The pelvic tilt exercise helps the individual find
and maintain their "neutral spine" -
a position in which the back is stabilized and
less prone to injury.
