Exercise, CheckUps & Good Nutrition are Key to Good Health.
Throughout a woman’s lifecycle, good overall health depends more and more on a planned health program with several key components. A planned program of regular exercise is probably the most important commitment a woman can make to her present and future health. With such a program, every other component of one's health plan seems to become easier and more effective. Regular checkups and testing is a must, even when one has "no health problems." This includes annual mammograms and a lipid profile of all cholesterol fractions with follow-up as indicated. By age fifty, a DEXA scan of spine and hips to assess one's status relative to osteoporosis is an excellent idea. Good nutrition is essential for health and well-being. We recommend foods high in phyto-nutrients and fiber and low in toxins and harmful fats and proteins.

Because the foods we eat could never provide all the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients we now know are necessary for the best health during pregnancy, pre-menopause and beyond, nutritional supplements are vital. While phyto-estrogens are the most important nutritional supplements for women, especially when ovarian estrogens are lost, the following other supplements are also vital: vitamins and minerals, essential fatty acids, herbs, probiotics and digestive enzymes. Proper maintenance of estrogen levels can promote healthy cholesterol, heart function, bone metabolism and even emotional well-being. Phyto-estrogens, that is, plant estrogens should be able to provide many of the actions of natural estrogens. The miracle of these phytoestrogens is that even though they act physiologically like the natural estrogens produced in the body, they accomplish nature's purpose with absolute safety. Supplementing your diet with essential vitamins and minerals will have positive effects on a woman’s health overall. The following nutrients are especially beneficial:
Calcium - a preventive measure in the treatment of osteoporosis. Taken with Vitamin D to increase absorption, 800 to 1200 mg daily is an effective supplemental dose. Calcium should not be taken by patients with kidney stones. (Calcium may reduce the body’s absorption of Magnesium and Zinc. Since both of these nutrients are also important in the prevention of osteoporosis, supplementation may be necessary. Magnesium should not be taken by patients with liver disease.) (Example: Schiff Breast Health Calcium D-Glucarate & Selenium - 60 Caps - With Soy Isoflavones And Boron. Natural Ingredients. Important Nutrients. Also see the Coral Calcium Product Line.)
Natrol Calcium D-Glucarate for Breast Health 60 Tabs - Calcium D-Glucarate is recommended by the AMC Cancer Research Center. Calcium D- Glucarate is a natural substance that promotes the body's detoxification process and supports hormonal balance.
B vitamins - Folic Acid, B6, and B12 -reduce blood levels of homocystene. Since high homocystene levels appear to contribute to osteoporosis, taking these B vitamins may be an effective preventative measure.
Example:
B-100 Complex
Fat-Soluble Vitamins (A, D, E) and the Water-Soluble Vitamins (C, B1 or Thiamine, B2 or Riboflavin, B3 or niacin , B5 or Pantothenic Acid, B6 or Pyridoxine, B12, Folic Acid, and Biotin).
More good reasons to pile on the cranberries
Daily Herald, 11/21/05

This time of the year is rich with holidays, each with its own food traditions.
Where would we be at Thanksgiving without the cranberry? Did you know that the cranberry reportedly has been used both as a food and as a medicine by Native Americans for centuries? Modern medical research on the benefits of cranberries agree.
The American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) grows wild in the United States and goes by many names including bear berry, black cranberry, bog cranberry, moosebeere, large cranberry, low cranberry, marsh apple, mountain cranberry and others. It is closely related to the blueberry and bilberry. Cranberries are an excellent source of antioxidants and vitamins and are very effective at treating and preventing urinary tract infections.
Medical research on cranberries dates back to the late 1840s. German physicians discovered eating cranberries could treat and prevent infections of the urinary tract. Cranberries have the ability to slightly acidify the urine and it was believed that was how they prevented infections.
Research over the past decade has revealed that cranberries do more than that. Compounds in cranberries actually keep bacteria from binding to the wall of the urinary bladder, a necessary step for infection of the urinary tract.
Although definitive research is lacking, most studies demonstrate that eating cranberries helps prevent urinary tract infections in those who are at greatest risk especially the elderly. I have found it to be well tolerated and very effective if used daily for more than two or three months. Some research suggests that when cranberries are used together with antibiotics, it might be more effective than antibiotics alone. However, there is no evidence that cranberries alone are effective in treating an ongoing urinary tract infection.
One recent study showed that cranberries also keep disease-causing viruses from binding to the walls of the intestine. Other claims that cranberries are effective against fungi, atherosclerosis, cancer, gall stones, diabetes, kidney stones and scurvy are not supported by reasonable medical studies.
Eating cranberries also might increase the absorption of vitamin B12 in patients who take medicine to reduce stomach acid.

The most common form of cranberry is as a juice. Studies using cranberry juice recommend drinking
about 10 ounces a day. However, most cranberry juices contain a lot of sugar and might not be good for diabetics. Cranberry capsules, with doses of 300 to 1,200 mg per day, are an alternative.
Cranberry is very safe and even a dose as high as three or four liters a day is not toxic for adults, thought it might cause diarrhea.
For children, I recommend talking with a physician, since high doses could be toxic. Obviously, avoid cranberries if you’re allergic to them or to blueberries.
So, at the Thanksgiving meal, use cranberries with gusto, knowing that you are not only eating something healthy, but that it is also a powerful and all-natural medicine.

Carotenoids - lycopene or beta-carotene perform some of the various anti-oxidant functions of Vitamin A itself. Unlike Vitamin A, supplementation with very high doses of the carotenes does not produce any significant toxicity.
Examples:
Lycopene 15 mg - 60 Softgels - Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant carotenoid which has been shown to reduce the risk of prostate cancer, prevent LDL cholesterol from being oxidized (LDL oxidation leads to heart disease and strokes), and reduce the risk of macular degeneration. Lycopene is the source of the red coloring of tomatoes, red peppers, red grapefruit and watermelon. For years it was ignored by nutritionists because it can not be converted into the essential vitamin A. Research has found that standardized lycopene... (continue)
RAINBOW LIGHT BETA-CAROTENE ANTIOX SYSTEM 60 TABS - Rainbow Light's Beta-Carotene Antioxidant System formula is the most sophisticated antioxidant product available. It takes a comprehensive approach to fighting free radical damage through the inclusion of key antioxidant nutrients, herbal extracts and Phyto-nutrients. This advanced formula features: 20,000 IU of beta-carotene, to protect cellular DNA and RNA from free radical damage, with 1000 mg of vitamin C and 200 IU of vitamin E, which work synergistically to provide additional antioxidants...

Zinc - essential to health. Zinc supplementation in pregnancy has been remarkably beneficial. Zinc deficiency is probably a factor in the development of Alzheimer's disease. (Examples: Schiff Guided Mineral Cal-Mag-Zinc with Vitamin D - 90 Tablets - Mineral Complexers; Solgar Pure Amino Acid Chelated Zinc - 100 Tabs - Suitable for Vegetarians)
Selenium - a very important anti-oxidant. Chronically low selenium levels in the diet are associated with an increased risk of cancer, heart disease, and immune disorders.
Example:
ALLERGY RESEARCH SELENIUM SOLUTION 100 MCG 8 OZ - Selenium Solution is specially formulated for individuals who are hypersensitive. It provides sodium selenite, the sodium salt of selenium, which is a very pure selenium source. Sodium selenite is well absorbed, and its sodium content is nutritionally insignificant. Selenium Solution is prepared by dissolving sodium selenite into triple distilled water, then sterilizing this solution by the use of heat rather than by the addition of chemical preservatives. Selenium Solution is therefore... (continue)
Chromium - a deficiency of chromium is related to glucose intolerance with high blood sugars and high insulin levels. Chromium can increase lean muscle mass, which means greater fat-burning potential. (Example: Solgar Chromium Picolinate 500 mcg - 60 Vegicaps - Suitable for vegetarians)
