Multivitamins Help Reduce Risk Of Infection In Diabetes
by: News Canada
(NC)—While many people take multivitamins to promote good health and to help reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer, new research shows that a daily multivitamin supplement may also help to optimize the health of people with type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of diabetes, results in the body not producing enough insulin or the insulin not being used effectively. Insulin helps take sugar from the blood to cells in the body. Too much sugar in the system can result in damage to various parts of the body, like the eyes and the heart.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) At a Glance
by: Sam Vaknin, Ph.D.
Most narcissists (75%) are men.
NPD is one of a "family" of personality disorders (formerly known as "Cluster B").
Other members: Borderline PD, Antisocial PD and Histrionic PD.
NPD is often diagnosed with other mental health disorders ("co-morbidity") - or with substance abuse, or impulsive and reckless behaviours ("dual diagnosis").
NPD is new (1980) mental health category in the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual (DSM).
There is only scant research regarding narcissism. But what there is has not demonstrated any ethnic, social, cultural, economic, genetic, or professional predilection to NPD.

Not Enough Women Getting Folic Acid
by: News Canada
(NC)—While most women have heard about folic acid, less than half know it's of benefit to women of childbearing age, according to the Folic Acid Alliance of Ontario. In addition, many women don't know whether they need to take folic acid, and if they do, how much they need or what are its sources.

Nutrients On The Decline In Our Foods
by: News Canada
(NC)—The amount of nutrients in our food is steadily declining, according to recent research. A recent survey found some fruits and vegetables we buy today contain far fewer nutrients than they did 50 years ago. This is especially noticeable in foods such as potatoes, tomatoes, bananas and apples. Specifically, the potato has lost 100 per cent of its vitamin A, 57 per cent of its vitamin C and iron, and 28 per cent of its calcium.
The study looked at 25 fruits and vegetables, and found that 80 per cent showed drops in calcium and iron, 75 per cent in vitamin A, 50 per cent lost vitamin C and riboflavin, 30 per cent lost thiamine (read full article) |

Vitamin Tips: To Fuel Physical Activity
by: News Canada
(NC)—Physical activity and athletic performance can be enhanced through good nutrition. This can be achieved by eating the right foods and drinking the right fluids at the right time, coupled with nutritional supplementation.
Regular physical activity might increase the body's nutritional needs. So it's important to have an adequate amount of vitamins and minerals every day. For athletes in particular, inadequate diets have been shown to result in less than optimal performance in otherwise fit individuals.
Here is what a diet with the recommended daily intake of vitamins and minerals can do for you:

Keep Mosquitoes At Bay In Your Home And Yard
by: News Canada
(NC)—You have likely heard about West Nile virus, but may still wonder how to safeguard against it this summer. The easiest thing you can do is keep the source at bay – those irritating mosquitoes – by preventing them from breeding.
"Prevention is the best way to battle this virus," says Dr. Colin D'Cunha, Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health. "Ontarians should know how the disease is spread and how to protect themselves and their families."
Mosquitoes can transmit the West Nile virus from infected birds to humans. Although there is a minimal chance of being infected and even less chance of becoming ill once infe (read full article) |

Healthy Living Hand Hygiene Tips For Busy People
by: News Canada
(NC)—Practicing dedicated hand hygiene makes good sense when it comes to fighting the spread of germs. Many of the common, and not so common viruses are transmitted from the hand to the ears, eyes and nose, and that is why surgical masks and disposable plastic gloves are items most commonly used as protection from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
Hand washing is essential and it is even better if our hands are sanitized regularly. Killing germs during hand washing is effective only if you scrub thoroughly with soap and water for at least 30 to 60 seconds and if you pay close attention to cleansing the thumbs, (read full article) |

Skincare Tips: Don't Forget Your Sunscreen, Indoors Or Out
by: News Canada
(NC)—You can never overdo the sunscreen reminder, say skincare specialists, especially when it comes to keeping both the aging UVA and the burning UVB rays off your face and lips.
"Too often we hear women say they forget to apply a daily sunscreen," says Jacquie Hutchinson, national product trainer for Almay, "or they don't include it automatically in their morning routine. Yet, most women are ardently loyal to their anti-aging products, forgetting that exposure to ultraviolet light, indoors or out, can ruin it all. The easiest solution is to find just the right anti-aging, daytime moisturizer with an effecti (read full article) |

Health & Beauty: Healthy Skin, More Than Meets The Eye
by: News Canada
(NC)—The visible signs of aging can be controlled, but the typical office life may not be your skin's best friend.
Dry, recycled air is one of the enemies you need to tackle, so are factors like air conditioning, long-term emission effects from computers, photo-copiers and fax machines, and even driving to work, or driving to achieve one's work, can have cumulative effects on the youthful condition of your face and skin.
"The use of a daily moisturizer, with ultraviolet light (UV) protection, has much more merit than first meets the eye," says Jacquie Hutchinson, national product trainer for Almay. "An attentive (read full article) |

Has Chemical Overload Got You Tired And Sick? Could The Solution Be In The Plants, Flowers and Trees?
by: Sandra Richardson
Since the beginning of our creation, the plants, flowers and trees have been with us. Even at our most primitive, we relied on them for their profound healing abilities. What has changed? Mostly, our lack of personal relationship with them. Our highly technical, over busy, media-drenched lives have us relying on quick fixes with artificial chemicals and antibiotic super bugs. This unnatural reliance combined with the unhealthy air and highly processed foods are all resulting in far less than vibrant health.
So, naturally, we search for what we intuitively feel is (read full article) |
