What You Must Know about Our Health Care System

Dear Health-Conscious Friend,

With the election over, can universal health care be far behind? Only time will tell.

Meanwhile health care is so expensive that each year thousands of Americans flock to hospitals in Central America, India and South East Asia where they can have their surgery performed for a fraction of the cost. On top of that, millions of prescriptions in this country go unfilled because people can’t afford to take them.

Even if you have the financial means, our expensive “health care system” still does not buy you the quality care you deserve. In fact, the federal government reports that 100,000 people die each year from infections they picked up while in the hospital! And, these strains are mutating and becoming more and more resistant to current treatments.

So what can you do? The only way to stay out of this health care nightmare is to take control of your health now – before you develop any serious health concerns. Based on my years of experience, here is my list of top nutritional supplements to keep you healthy.

Vitamin D. There’s been a lot of talk about Vitamin D in the news lately. It's the hottest “new” nutrient right now and it's estimated that over 50 percent of us are lacking it. While your body makes Vitamin D through exposure to the sun, because so many of us use sunscreen (and rightly so), our bodies have become deficient in this vital, life-supporting nutrient that’s good for bones, immune system and general health. It's so important, that some experts believe that if you take only one supplement, Vitamin D should be it!

Daily Multivitamin: Find one that includes 100% of the Daily Values of a wide range of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. There are formulas that target your specific situation: active lifestyle, senior, male or female concerns.

Coenzyme Q-10: CoQ-10 is an essential anti-aging nutrient for the functioning of every cell in your body, especially for the high energy needs of your heart. Unfortunately, your ability to produce CoQ-10 declines with age, so you must rely more on supplements to supply sufficient amounts.

Vegetable & Fruit: When your mother told you to eat your fruits and vegetable, she knew what she was talking about. Not only are fruits and vegetables chock-full of vitamins and minerals, but they also give you immune-supporting nutrients. Do you get your five a day? Fortunately there’s an alternative with freeze dried tablets.

Lutein: Did you know that more people fear blindness more than cancer? It’s true. If you lose your vision, you lose your independence. That’s why I recommend that those over 40 take lutein. It helps maintain sharp, focused vision and healthy eyesight by helping to safeguard the macula from free radical damage and UV light rays. I recommend a high quality lutein called FloraGLO® lutein, a powerful, patented form of lutein that’s more easily absorbed and utilized by your body.

When it comes down to it, who really knows best how to take care of your health? You. Protect yourself today…before it’s too late.

Sincerely,

Tim Cleland
