qfac wellness health tid bits :: FDA CAUTIONS AGAINST ACID REFLUX DRUGS | DR. Brenda Watson ::

The National Heartburn Alliance tells us that more than 25 million Americans experience heartburn on a daily basis, and for the majority of them, acid-blocking drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the answer. The FDA released recently a comprehensive review linking long-term use (a year or more) of high doses of PPIs like Nexium® and Prilosec® with an increased risk of bone fractures—especially to the hips, wrists and spine. That’s because over time these drugs block the absorption of calcium in the body needed for healthy bones. The reality, however, is that bone fractures are just the tip of the iceberg. Widespread PPI use upsets the delicate balance of bacteria in your gut, leaving your body vulnerable to illness and infection, and America’s dependency on acid-blocking drugs has been linked to even more serious health risks, including » (JOIN OUR FREE NEWSLETTER TO BE ELIGIBLE!)

:: TRAINING TO STOP WEAK BONES| Michelle Aultman ::

An estimated ten million Americans have osteoporosis, and another 34 million have low bone mass, (osteopenia). A disease with no symptoms, osteoporosis affects about 20 percent of men and 80 percent of women. While the bones gradually become weaker, they are more likely to break due to a minor fall or, if left untreated, even from simple things like a sneeze. The commonest fracture sites are hip, wrist and spine, although any bone in your body could be affected. A diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis could be scary, leading lots of people to quit exercise due to fear it'll cause fractures.

qfac health, wellness and fitness tidbit of the month! :: BIOIDENTICAL NUTRIENTS ::

Many nutrients occur in various forms, and not all are created equally. Nutrients that occur in nature, from plants and animals, are in specific forms that are optimally bioactive when ingested when foods are eaten, or supplements containing them are taken. In fact, it is often the form of the nutrient that determines both its effectiveness and its safety. However, many nutrients found in nutritional supplements are not in the exact bio-identical form found in nature. This occurs for various reasons, including cost, availability, stability, and practicality. Sometimes the bio-identical form of a nutrient is simply not stable enough to include in a supplement, or it is simply not possible or practical to derive a therapeutic quantity of a specific nutrient directly from a food or animal source. While the bio-identical forms of nutrients are often optimal, synthetic forms made in a commercial laboratory process which are often not identical to the forms that occur naturally, can be used safely and economically in many cases. However, one’s body generally must first convert the synthetic forms into their active bio-identical forms before the therapeutic effects can be realized. While this often happens easily and quickly in most individuals, some can have biochemical and metabolic uniqueness
which makes this initial conversion more difficult. For example, there has been information in the general media regarding potential safety issues with synthetic folic acid due partly to these conversion issues in some people. Designs for Health » has removed all synthetic folic acid from our professional nutritional supplement line years ago, and replaced it with a bio-identical mixture of natural folates called NatureFolate™. As well, only truly mixed tocopherol vitamin E, including high-levels of the protective gamma-tocopherol fraction in ratios found in most foods, in their Ultra Gamma-E, and all other vitamin E-containing formulas.
