Q: What’s a good brand for a juicer?

A: That’s the Champion Juicer.  But there are several other makes.  And what you do is you juice your carrots and a couple sticks of celery and an apple, and a little bit of fresh ginger.  And you wash [...]]]> http://conversiongeneral.com/healthnewsletter/archives/21/feed 0 http://conversiongeneral.com/healthnewsletter/archives/15 http://conversiongeneral.com/healthnewsletter/archives/15#comments Fri, 03 Jul 2009 03:00:42 +0000 Kevin Bushey http://conversiongeneral.com/healthnewsletter/?p=15 Part 4 of my interview with a very healthy octogenarian:

Part 4 of my interview with a very healthy octogenarian: Q: Therersquo;s been a lot of talk about supplements too, and how supplements may or may not be helpful and, you know, therersquo;s ndash; depending on who you read and listen to, therersquo;s a lot of hype versus a lot of money being spent on supplements.nbsp; Itrsquo;s quite a huge industry.nbsp; I know itrsquo;s quite popular for a lot of online businesses to sell supplements.nbsp; And the key with supplements, from what I can see is, I mean it can be very expensive, especially if yoursquo;re retired and on a limited income.nbsp; So, you know, is it important for supplementation to occur and, if so, where would you say, you know, is the best bang for the buck, especially if you donrsquo;t have a lot of money just to go out and buy all the supplements that you want?nbsp; What would be, you know, your top two or three supplements that you think are most beneficial if you are on a limited budget? A: You can load up on all kinds of supplements.nbsp; But I donrsquo;t think that you need everything thatrsquo;s out there.nbsp; But there are some basics and, for instance, when you read your AARP magazine ndash; and I think an awful lot of people do belong to the AARP ndash;nbsp; they have available vitamins and minerals.nbsp; And other sources tell you that, for instance, Centrum Silver, you hear about this all the time as seniors.nbsp; But this is a multi-vitamin. I recommend to people that unless they really seriously investigate the vitamins that they think they need for themselves ndash; now each individual person is an individual and his body needs different things, and people eat different foods, so supplementing is important.nbsp; Because as you get older, your body just doesnrsquo;t process the food like when yoursquo;re young and, therefore, yes, vitamins are very important.nbsp; I donrsquo;t think that the necessary vitamins are all that expensive and especially if you buy them from some of the people ndash; some of the companyrsquo;s like Puritanrsquo;s Pride or Swanson, and there are several others. And, of course, today all of the drugstores and all of the big supermarkets carry a line of multi-vitamins.nbsp; So you have to choose what you think is best.nbsp; But we all know that Vitamins A, B and especially Vitamin C ndash; Vitamin C has many times not been given the credit.nbsp; Therersquo;s a book out called Curing the Incurable, and itrsquo;s about Vitamin C and infective diseases, and about toxins.nbsp; And they ndash; they talk in there just like other books do, that a lot of people donrsquo;t realize it but we have to detox our bodies periodically in order to clean out our systems and there is historical information that people for, you know, many hundreds of years have detoxed their bodies periodically. All kinds of physicians out there and chiropractors specialize in helping people detox their bodies because the way to health is that you have to clean your body out and then start putting the proper food, which is the foods that ndash; In fact, when God made the world, He told people --nbsp; for all of those who wish to investigate the Bible, you can go to Genesis, paragraph 1 ndash; Chapter 1, paragraph 29, and you will see there what God told Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden what to eat.nbsp; And this consisted of plant foods and fruits and vegetables and nuts, dates and all kinds of foods that were there. We have steered from that because of our modern society and our modern processing. The meat that was back in the old days is not the meat that we are receiving today.nbsp; There was no mad cow disease in those days, there is now and the world is not really paying much attention to that.nbsp; And if you read the main line ndash; the mainstream media, they talk very little about mad cow because we have powerful lobbies in this country.nbsp; The American Cattlemenrsquo;s Association, American Dairymenrsquo;s Association, they s...
