Is It OK To Take Supplements?

by Lanilane Ocbina

It is very hard to get sick nowadays. With just a simple cough, you can get quarantined. A simple sneeze, people will get paranoid so are you. Suddenly then, people start to get more health conscious. Healthy living becomes a desirable lifestyle now. 

People start the craze to eat more vegetables and fruits. But the question is, are these enough? Well the answer is yes IF WE ARE LIVING IN THE ANCIENT TIME, WHEN FRUITS AND VEGGIES WERE STILL FULL OF NUTRITION. 

An orange then can give you enough amount of vitamin C that you need. But studies say that today, you need 18 pieces of oranges to have that same amount of vitamin C. 18 pieces! Now can you eat that within a day? I don't think so! That explains that these days, we already need to take food supplements.

Here are some supplements that Dr. Terry Shintani, one of the renowned doctors in integrative medicine, suggests for the detoxification of the body:

1. Vitamin B Complex

2. Glutathione

3. Alpha Lipoic Acid

4. Vitamin C

5. Vitamin E

6. Selenium

Bioflavanoids

7. Quercetin

8. Luteolin

9. Carotenoids

Herbs

10. Milk Thistle

11. dandelion root

12. Burdock Root

13. Gentian Root

Anti-inflammatory

14. Turmeric

15. Green Tea

Amino Acids

16. Glutamine

17. Glycine

18. Taurine

19. Cystine

Sulphur

20. Cruciferous Vegetables

21. Garlic

Dr. Terry Shintani authored the best-selling book "the Peace Diet", which features a holistic approach to health.  He believes that each person on earth can live for about 120 years, as mentioned in the book of Genesis. The famous doctor has just turned 70 and can still give a three-point shot in basketball, see this video below:

On another note, I personally take supplements at 36 because I undestand that aging has already started like about 8 years ago as studies would say, aging starts at 28. 

It is very important to take supplements nowadays. If you still don't know which supplement is right for you, try to start researching about it or ask your healthy friends about the best supplements that they have tried.
