Therapeutic with Vitamins?

A large number of people do not take advantage of the benefits of Mother Nature’s harvest to help their body to heal and to protect it against diseases often times caused by microorganisms that constitute our everyday’s cheerless companions in this planet. Whereas the reasons for not taking advantage of these benefits may be a matter of choice or a lack the opportunity to certain individuals, for the most part it would be fair to confer this unfortunate reality to a lack of awareness.
Not many people know that with little help with vitamin intake whether as a supplement or natural through foodstuff, human body can fight certain diseases. Vitamin is an organic composite that a living being needs as a nutrient in a tiny amounts to perform metabolism. Generally, people use vitamins either in excess or too little to satisfy their needs.

An excerpt from an article published by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services on the “Effect of the Supplemental Use of Antioxidants Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Coenzyme Q10 for the Prevention and Treatment of Cancer states, “… the adequacy of the vitamin supply to cells and tissues influences the development, progress, and outcome of cancers. A major challenge to the integrity and function of cells and tissues is thought to come from the uncontrolled formation of free radicals. Free radicals may, alone or in combination, attack cell membranes and DNA. The body has evolved antioxidant defenses to protect against free radical-induced damage. It is postulated that the antioxidant vitamins E and C and coenzyme Q10 are potentially involved in these antioxidant defenses and that some diseases might be prevented by increasing intake of antioxidants, either through increasing the dietary intake of antioxidant-rich foods or taking antioxidant supplements. However, it should be noted that while free radicals have been implicated in over 100 human diseases, this implication does not constitute proof of their role in disease formation or that preventing the formation or function of free radicals can prevent or cure disease.” (Full article)

Today, extensive researches illustrate the uncontestable benefits of vitamins and a countless number of books that pinpoint where to find these vitamins are available in the market. For instance, Healing with Vitamins: The Most Effective Vitamin and Mineral Treatments for Everyday Health Problems and Serious Disease by the Editors of Prevention Health Books is an excellent day-to-day book that every household should have for quick reference. In Part-1, the book provides a description of vitamins and minerals (To include their daily value and sources) for their health benefits and in Part-2, their therapeutic prescriptions for healing. Some of the common conditions and diseases known to harm human being, which the book explains include but are not limited to cancer, heart diseases, overweight, diabetes…
Certainly, no one should fight any disease or condition just with vitamins alone specifically at a critical stage. However, it is clear that when used as preventive measure by eating appropriate food that rich in elements that the body needs, these nutrients should help the human body from predators, which may be undisruptive at first. Yet, when used in conjunction with contemporary medicine, these vitamins and minerals should also increase human body’s chances of healing.

The Gadget World: Nexus One vs. Other Smart Phones

Gadget World tabloids and cellphone lovers are once again back to the gadget round table assessing Google's introduction of its smart phone - Nexus One. Yet, just a few months back in 2009, Apple had caused similar effects. Now, no one off course should be surprised of any analogous revelation or creation in the near future.

What is the catch for those not familiar with these smart phones? A comparison made by BillShrink on the new generation of smart phones reveal much what these phones have in common, and less on what they have in exception. Basically, all of these smart phones have to a certain extent some degree of storage capacity, battery life time, possess camera, Wi-Fi capability, GPS, command voice functions, digital encoding format, a number of application, and the list goes on. The only biggest difference off course comes to how much can users afford and Nexus One seems to be triumphant here.



Most importantly, what is striking on these smart phones is the number of applications they tend to have - some phones have as bigger as 93,200 as in the case of iPhone. Now, what can people with all these application? In this busy society, many people have already barely enough time to do anything, so bringing the reasons to wonder whether people who buy them need phones with these phones with a great deal of features. Off course, when used to their fullest, these smart phones can be very useful, but unfortunately often times, those who own them only exploit a slim portion of their rich features.


So, do you want a smart or a dull-witted phone? I say, it's your money, your lifestyle, you make the call!
