Nutrition Facts: Fats And Oils, Fish Oil And Folic Acid, Potassium And Food Labels

Choose vegetable oils and margarines with liquid vegetable oil
as the first listed ingredient and no more than 2 grams of
saturated fat per tablespoon. Examples include:


•Canola
•Corn
•Olive
•Safflower
•Sesame
•Soybean
•Sunflower oil

Choose liquid or tube margarines low in saturated fat and trans
fat. Choose reduced-fat and no-fat salad dressings and
mayonnaise with no more than 1 gram of saturated fat per
tablespoon.

Preparation tips include:

•Use fats and oils lowest in saturated fat and cholesterol for
cooking, baking and in spreads sparingly.
•Use reduced-fat or no-fat salad dressings with salads and dips.

•Coconut oil, palm oil and palm kernel oil have no cholesterol;
however, they are high in saturated fat.

Fish and Omega-3 Fatty Acids

The American Heart Association recommends eating fish,
particularly fatty fish, at least two times per week. Good
choices include:

•Mackerel
•Lake trout
•Herring
•Sardines
•Albacore tuna
•Salmon

Other good sources of omega-3 Fatty acids include:

•Soybeans
•Canola
•Walnut and flaxseed and their oils

To be sure you get enough fish oil in your diet, you can supplement with a high quality fish oil supplement:

Not all Fish Oils are Created Equal

The benefits of including additional Omega-3’s to your diet are well known. However, unless you’re taking a high quality supplement, you may be better off not taking one at all. In this case, what you don’t know could hurt your wallet and your health.

Your Wallet

The amount you pay for a bottle of fish oil can be deceptive. It’s not how much a bottle costs, but rather the amount you pay for 1,000 mg of the health-promoting ingredients EPA and DHA contained in the oil. If you look at our comparison, you’ll see that ultra-pure Life's Abundance Fish Oil represents one of the best values on the market today. In addition, you’ll also notice that our fish oils also contain sesame lignans and astaxanthin, two key ingredients that enhance the health-promoting qualities of fish oil.

Your Health

In its unpurified form, fish oil contains many contaminants, some of which can be harmful to your health. To purify the oil takes many steps, each one adding to the cost of manufacturing. It is important to buy your fish oil from a company that not only says it purifies the oil, but one that is willing to share the results from every batch made with you, so you can know you and your family are safe.

The Solution

Life's Abundance omega-3 fish oil supplements are highly concentrated and ultra pure and they meet or exceed the highest standards in the industry for quality assurance. In fact, each and every batch of Life's Abundance Fish Oil is tested by an independent third party organization (IFOS) and the results are posted right here so you can see the quality, concentration and purity that ultra-pure fish oil supplements can offer you and your family.

Eat a healthy
balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and
fat-free or low-fat dairy products. Good sources of Folic Acid
include:

•Citrus fruits
•Tomatoes
•Vegetables and grain products
•Wheat flour fortified with folic acid

There is a lack of evidence for the benefit of lowering
homocysteine levels; however, patients at high risk should be
advised to be sure to get enough folic acid and vitamins B-6 and
B-12 in their diet. Sources of these vitamins include:

•Fruits and green, leafy vegetables eaten daily.

Potassium

Potassium is necessary for the body’s growth and maintenance. It
plays an important role in the response of nerves to stimulation
and in the contraction of muscles. Good sources of foods high in
potassium include:

•Bananas
•Cantaloupe
•Grapefruit
•Oranges
•Tomato or prune juice
•Honeydew melons
•Prunes
•Molasses
•Potatoes

If you need to keep your weight under control eat lower calorie
potassium containing foods such as fruits, vegetables and
low-fat dairy products.

Osteoarthritis Symptoms And Treatment

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis.  The
breakdown of joint cartilage caused by osteoarthritis may affect
any joint in your body. Joints affected may include:



• Fingers
• Hips
• Knees
• Lower back
• Feet

At first osteoarthritis may affect only one joint, but if your
fingers are affected, multiple hand joints may become arthritic.


There are available treatments for osteoarthritis, but no cure.
The available treatments can relieve pain and help you remain
active.

Some people may not experience symptoms because the disease
often develops slowly. Signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis may
include:

• Pain in a joint during or after use, or after a period of
inactivity
• Discomfort in a joint before or during a change in the weather

• Swelling and stiffness in a joint, particularly after using it

• Bony lumps on the middle or end joints of your fingers or the
base of your thumb
• Loss of joint flexibility

Areas in which osteoarthritis typically affects include:

• Fingers: Bony knobs can enlarge your finger joints and create
a gnarled appearance. Early in the disease, your joints may feel
painful or stiff and numb. The pain eventually often subsides,
but leaves bony nodes that affect the mobility of the joints at
the end of your fingers. The nodes run in families and affect
women more than men.

• Spine: As the disk slowly deteriorate between the bones along
your spine, back and neck pain and stiffness may occur.

• Weight-bearing joints: The hips, knees and feet are more
susceptible to osteoarthritis because they bear the majority of
your body’s weight. Over the years cartilage slowly deteriorates
and chronic pain or varying amounts of discomfort when you stand
and walk can occur. Swelling especially in the knees may also
occur.

Treatment for osteoarthritis

Your doctor may recommend a combination of treatment that
includes medication, self-care, physical therapy and
occupational therapy. Surgical procedures may also be necessary
in some cases.

Medications may include:

• Topical pain relievers such as Aspercreme or Sportscreme, Icy
Hot and Ben-Gay.

• Acetaminophen like Tylenol and others can relieve pain but
does not reduce inflammation

• NSAIDs: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs work to relieve
pain and fight inflammation. They range from OTC aspirin,
ibuprofen like Advil, Motrin IB and others to prescription
strength

• Cox-2inhibitors: Are considered as effective as other NSAIDs
for managing pain and inflammation without the same
stomach-damaging effects. Other side effects of Cox-2inhibitors
may include fluid retention, exacerbating high blood pressure
and links to increased risk of heart attack and stroke

• Tramadol: Available only by prescription, has no
anti-inflammatory effect, but can provide effective pain relief
with fewer side effects such as stomach ulcers and bleeding.
Tramadol may cause nausea and constipation. It is generally used
for short-term treatment of acute flare-ups.

• Antidepressants: Tricyclics especially can help reduce chronic
pain. They can treat sleep disturbances that can accompany
arthritis. Some antidepressants used for arthritis pain and
nonrestorative sleep include amitriptyline and nortriptyline.

• Injections of pain relievers: Corticosteroid injections into a
joint space can offer some pain relief and reduce inflammation.

Surgical or other procedures used to treat osteoarthritis
include:

• Joint replacement
• Arthroscopic lavage and debridement
• Repositioning bones
• Fusing bones

Proper Diet And Nutrition Maintains Women's Good Health

One of the most important parts of a woman’s ability to maintain
good health is proper diet and nutrition. Researchers continue
to find growing evidence of the link between healthy eating and
a variety of positive health outcomes which include:

•Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease
•Cancer
•Osteoporosis

If you are a woman looking to improve your diet you should eat
foods rich in fiber, folate, unsaturated fats and calcium.
Choose fruits, vegetables, whole grains and reduce intake of
sugar, salt, cholesterol, saturated fats and trans fats.

As you age, your nutritional needs may change and vary. Consult
with your personal physician or other healthcare professional to
ensure your diet is providing the proper nourishment required
for good health.

How do fiber, fat, folate, antioxidants, calcium, Vitamin D,
iron, protein, alcohol and caffeine actually affect a woman’s
health?

Fiber: The many benefits of high fiber intake include:

1.Substantially reducing the risk of coronary heart disease and
stroke;
2.Cereal fiber has been shown in particular to reduce the risk
of heart attack;
3.Diets high in fiber protect against diabetes;
4.Diets high in soluble fiber found in vegetables, fruits and
legumes can help diabetic individuals control their glucose
(blood sugar level);
5.Lower cholesterol levels;
6.Improved bowel function;
7.Research also suggests that diets high in vegetable and fruit
fiber may help prevent colon and rectal cancer.

Fat: It is important to reduce intake of foods high in certain
types of fat and cholesterol to help decrease the risk of
coronary heart disease. Of most importance is to reduce the
saturated fats and trans fats rather than concentrating on
reducing the total amount of “fat” intake. Avoid consuming too
many low-fat foods that are high in carbohydrates. Too many
carbohydrates can lower the so-called “good” cholesterol that
protects against heart disease.

Folate: Is a type of B vitamin important to the production of
red blood cells that can help reduce the risk of coronary heart
disease and colon cancer. Folate supplements are recommended for
women of child-bearing age usually in the form of multivitamins
to help prevent a group of birth defects known as neural tube
defects. These defects include spina bifida and anencephaly
(failure of the brain to form).

Natural sources of folate include:

•Certain breakfast cereals
•Orange juice
•Peas
•Peanuts
•Beans
•Leafy green vegetables

Antioxidants: Certain fruits and vegetables, Vitamins A, C, E
and beta carotene contain antioxidant properties. There are some
studies that indicate antioxidants help prevent cancer and
cardiovascular disease. The evidence to support these claims
remains mixed.

Calcium: An adequate amount of daily calcium can help prevent
osteoporosis. Osteoporosis particularly affects many women after
menopause. It can lead to bone fractures. Calcium may also
protect against colon cancer and may aid weight loss in obese
women. If you are a woman who feels you need more calcium in
your diet or you are just not sure how much is adequate for you,
check with your physician about taking supplements.

Good sources of calcium include:

•Milk
•Yogurt
•Cheese
•Canned fish with soft bones such as sardines, anchovies and
salmon
•Leafy green vegetables
•Calcium-fortified orange juice

Vitamin D: It is important to consume adequate amounts of
Vitamin D to aid calcium absorption and bone formation. A lack
of vitamin D can lead to softening of the bones.

Good sources of vitamin D include:

•Egg yolks
•Herring
•Sardines
•Tuna
•Salmon
•Fortified milk

Iron: A deficiency of iron can cause fatigue, decreased immunity
and a type of anemia called iron-deficiency anemia. Iron is
especially important to girls and women of childbearing age.
Iron should be taken in moderation. Studies show high levels of
iron can lead to heart disease in postmenopausal women.

Good sources of iron include:

•Liver
•Kidneys
•Red meat
•Poultry
•Eggs
•Peas
•Legumes
•Dried fruits
•Leafy vegetables

Protein: Women should get 10 to 35 percent of daily calories
from protein to help prevent muscle tissue from breaking down
and help repair tissue that has been damaged.

Good sources of protein include:

•Fish
•Poultry
•Eggs
•Milk
•Cheese
•Dried beans and peas
•Peanut butter
•Nuts
•Bread
•Cereal

Alcohol: Many experts agree the health risks of moderate
consumption of alcohol outweigh the potential benefits of
reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease shown in some
studies.

Pregnant and nursing women should not drink alcohol in any form
as it can cause harm to their offspring.

The many adverse health consequences of alcohol consumption
include:

•Increased risk of cancers of the breast, mouth, esophagus,
throat, larynx and liver
•Alcohol consumed during pregnancy can cause birth defects
including fetal alcohol syndrome
•Cirrhosis of the liver
•May increase the frequency and severity of hot flashes during
menopause

Caffeine: Is a stimulant and diuretic found in coffee, tea, soft
drinks, chocolate and some over-the-counter drugs. A reduction
of caffeine is often recommended during pregnancy. It may affect
the heart rate and blood pressure, contribute to dehydration and
have other possible side effects.

Numerous health problems can be the result of poor nutrition as
well as obesity, which causes additional health problems. By
contrast, are women with eating disorders such as anorexia
nervosa or bulimia nervosa. Women who are underweight may
experience irregular menstrual cycles, a stopping of
menstruation called amenorrhea, which can lead to dental
problems and osteoporosis and a shortened lifespan.

Restless Legs Syndrome

An irresistible urge to move the legs is called “Restless Legs
Syndrome.” The urge to move the legs is usually due to
unpleasant feelings in the legs that occur when at rest.
Movement eases the feelings for a while. Although symptoms
mostly affect in the legs, they can also affect the arms.

There are two types of restless legs syndrome, they are:

1.Primary: Cause is not know, but tends to run in families, and
is the most common
2.Secondary: Caused by another disease or condition or by taking
certain medicines.

Restless legs syndrome is common in pregnant women and usually
occurs during the last months of pregnancy. It usually improves
or disappears within a few weeks after delivery.

People with restless legs syndrome describe their symptoms with
words like creeping, crawling, tingling or burning sensations.
The unpleasant feelings may also occur in the arms.

People with RLS often don’t get enough sleep because RLS can
make it hard to fall asleep and stay asleep. They are often
tired and sleepy during the day which makes it difficult to:

•Concentrate, learn and remember things
•Work
•Carry out other usual daily activities
•Take part in family and social activities

Not getting enough sleep can also cause depression or mood
swings.

People with RLS usually also have a condition called periodic
limb movement disorder. PLMD is characterized by leg twitching
or jerking uncontrollably about every 10 to 60 seconds usually
during sleep. The legs are usually most affected, but PLMD can
also affect the arms.

Although RLS is unpleasant and uncomfortable, there are some
simple self-care approaches and lifestyle changes that can help
in mild cases. RLS symptoms often improve with medical
treatment. There is ongoing research to better understand the
causes of RLS and to develop better treatments.

Medicines that can cause RLS

RLS symptoms usually go away when medicine is stopped, if the
RLS symptoms are actually caused by the medicine. You should
never stop taking any kind of medicine that is prescribed by
your doctor unless he or she instructs you to do so. Medicines
that can cause RLS are:

•Antiseizure medicines
•Antinausea medicines
•Antidepressants
•Some cold and allergy medicines
Other substances that can cause RLS symptoms or make them worse
include:
•Caffeine
•Alcohol
•Tobacco

Although RLS affects both men and women, the disorder occurs
more often in women than in men. The age group in which RLS
mostly occurs is middle age; however, in up to two out of every
five cases, the symptoms of RLS begin before age 20. People who
develop RLS early in life usually have a family history of the
disorder. The disorder is also more common in persons of
northern European descent.

Signs and Symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome include:

•An almost irresistible urge to move the legs or arms when
sitting or lying down
•An unpleasant feeling in the legs
•Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep because of the
unpleasant feelings in the legs or arms
•Daytime sleepiness that results from a lack of restful sleep
due to the repeated limb movements

Restless legs syndrome gets its name from the urge to move the
legs when sitting or lying down. Typical movements include:

•Pacing and walking
•Jiggling the legs
•Stretching and flexing
•Tossing and turning
•Rubbing the legs

To help your doctor take a medical history, and to provide you
with an appropriate diagnosis, provide him or her with answers
to the following questions:

•Can you describe your symptoms?
•When did your symptoms first begin?
•When during the day or night do the symptoms usually occur?
•When are your symptoms worse?
•Do symptoms interfere with your sleep?
•What time do you go to bed and get up?
•What is your routine before going to bed?
•What kind of noise, light, interruptions are there in the room
where you sleep?
•Do you snore?
•Are you tired and sleepy when you wake up and during the day?
•Do you have trouble concentrating?
•Do you doze off or have difficult staying awake doing routine
tasks, especially while driving?
•Do other members of your family have similar symptoms?
•What medicines (over-the-counter and prescription) do you take?

•Do you gasp for air during sleep?
•Do you use caffeine, tobacco, or alcohol?

Listed below are some lifestyle changes to improve and relieve
symptoms of RLS:

•Avoid things that can make symptoms of RLS worse such as
tobacco, alcohol, foods and beverages that contain caffeine such
as chocolate, coffee, tea, and some soft drinks
•Medicines: Only at the advice of your doctor should you stop
taking medicines that have been specifically prescribed for you.
There are some medicines that can make the symptoms of RLS worse
and they include: Antidepressants, antinausea medicines,
antipsychotic medicines, antihistamines.
•Adopt good sleep habits such as keeping your bedroom or sleep
area cool, quiet, comfortable and free of unnecessary light. Use
your bedroom for sleeping, not for watching TV or using
computers or the telephone. Go to bed every night at the same
time and wake up at the same time every morning.
•Follow a program of moderate exercise
Other activities that may also help relieve symptoms include:
•Walking or stretching
•Taking a hot or cold bath
•Massaging the leg or arm
•Using heat or ice packs

Doctors prescribe medicines to treat RLS in people who:

•Have clearly defined symptoms
•Those who have symptoms that cannot be controlled by lifestyle
and non-drug treatments.

There is no single medicine that is helpful in all persons with
RLS. It sometimes takes several changes in medicines and dosages
to find the best approach. Always talk to your doctor before
taking any medicines or over-the-counter medicines for your
symptoms. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved
ropinirole to treat moderate to severe RLS.

Restless legs syndrome is very often a lifelong condition. The
symptoms may come and go frequently or they may disappear
completely for long periods of time. They may even get worse
over time. Lifestyle changes and medicines can help control and
relieve symptoms of restless legs syndrome. Discuss with your
doctor about lifestyle changes and medicines that might help
your symptoms. As research continues new treatments are being
developed.
