			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Get the Benefits of Rosemary with Indigo Wild Products</h2>
<p><em>Rosemary</em> provides a great scent to many of the household and personal care products that people use daily. Many of these products use an artificial scent that is produced using chemicals in a lab, but the essential oils of rosemary can deliver a better, natural smell with a couple of added benefits. Rosemary has long been used in aromatherapy to support cognitive function, and because of this using products with natural rosemary, like those made by Indigo Wild can be a great way to get the benefits of natural rosemary.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Indigo-Wild-Zum-s/2080.htm" target="_blank">Indigo Wild</a> produces a number of <a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Zum-Bar-Soap-Rosemary-Mint-p/indigo-wild-zum-bar-0660.htm" target="_blank">natural soaps</a>, <a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Zum-Mist-Rosemary-Mint-p/indigo-wild-zum-mist-0141.htm" target="_blank">air fresheners</a>, <a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Zum-Body-Lotion-p/indigo-wild-zum-body-0060.htm" target="_blank">chemical free lotions</a>, and <a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Wild-Zum-Oil-Lavender-Lemon-p/indigo-wild-zum-oil-1304.htm" target="_blank">massage oils</a> that utilize <strong>natural rosemary</strong>, and when applying it to the skin you&#8217;re supplying the skin with antioxidants. This is a great way to fight free radicals, which can damage the cells of the skin and lead to premature aging. Natural rosemary extract also has natural antibacterial properties, so it may help to fight off skin infections. Rosemary has also been widely used as an oil for <em>aromatherap</em>y, and it is often used for its brain and cognitive support properties. It is believed to<strong> help with memory</strong> and other mental tasks, and a recent study from Northumbria in Great Britain determined that using rosemary through aromatherapy can in fact support memory. The study looked particularly at prospective memory, which is the ability to remember the need for future jobs and tasks, like a doctor&#8217;s appointment or a shift at work. The subjects in the study were required to perform memory jobs. They were split into two groups. One performed their memory jobs in a room that was scented with rosemary while one worked in a room that had no scent. The study showed that those who worked in the rosemary scented room performed memory jobs better.</p>
<p>One of the best ways to surround yourself with rosemary is with Indigo Wild products. They produce Zum Mist, which is an air freshener that utilizes rosemary and mint. It can be used to <strong>fight unwanted odors</strong> within the house, and it can also be a quick way to provide the aromatherapy benefits of rosemary. Indigo Wild also has numerous soaps, lotions, rubs, and massage oils that can further provide the benefits of rosemary. Using natural <em>rosemary essential oil</em> can be the perfect way to support both the health of your skin and your mental function.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With summer quickly approaching many of you will flock to the gym in order to get in shape for beach season. Exercise is a great way to help your body bounce back from the lethargic winter months; however there are many people that don&#8217;t support their hard work in the gym properly. You not only have to make sure that you work out in a healthy manner, but you also have to do the right things when you&#8217;re not in the gym. In fact, the routine you get into outside of the gym can be just as important as the time that you spend inside of the gym.</p>
<h2>Build Muscle</h2>
<p>When trying to <em>build muscle</em> it is important to not have a stagnant routine. You want to address many different muscles groups through different exercises and angles. <strong>Every couple of weeks you should change your routine</strong> slightly just to allow your muscles to be worked out in a different way. It is also essential to have a routine that won&#8217;t damage your body, and because of this you should strive to get a good work out without over working the muscles. A standard muscle building exercise should not go much longer than 45 minutes, and about 12 sets per muscle group is generally best. Often times people over work the muscles through routines that involve 20 or more sets, but this is simply and undeniably too much. Overusing muscles and exercising too much can be accompanied by injuries that can sideline you for days, weeks, and even months. One of the most common signs of overuse is inflammation, and this can cause intense discomfort within the joints. Inflammation can lead to shin splints, and it may also cause tendinitis  which is inflammation of the connective tissues. Strains, like stretches or tears in the muscles, may also occur, and stress fractures are also a source of exercise injury. Stress fractures occur when the tired muscles can&#8217;t properly absorb exercise induced shock.<br />
It is also beneficial to use workouts that exercise numerous muscle groups at once, and some of these include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pull Ups</li>
<li>Dead Lifts</li>
<li>Squats</li>
</ul>
<p>These exercises work multiple muscle groups, and they largely depend on your body&#8217;s weight and resistance.</p>
<p>Everybody that is trying to build muscle is looking to achieve that burning sensation.  However, this can also lead to tight and constricted muscles. During this time the possibility of injuring the body is increased, so it is important to stretch. Stretching will not only help to keep the body healthy, but it will also help to improve mobility and support recovery time.</p>
<h3>Muscle Nutrition</h3>
<p>When you&#8217;re engaged in an exercise routine that calls for frequent workouts the body is in constant need of fuel. In order to build muscle the body needs nutrients to quickly and completely repair and grow the damaged muscle. Since the body depends on a supply of nutrients during these times of frequent exercise you should split your three daily meals into six meals. When doing this calorie counting becomes incredibly important, because it can be easy to consume too many calories. A complete and <strong>healthy diet</strong> is essential, because <em>vitamins and minerals</em> are needed by the body. Minerals, in particular, work to strengthen the bones, and this helps to provide the body with the strength and structure to take on heavy weight lifting or strenuous activity. Supplementation may also be needed to make up for nutritional short comings, and some common <a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Muscle-Growth-Supplements-s/459.htm" target="_blank">muscle growth supplements</a> include:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Whey-Protein-Powder-p/fe-p-protein-whey-32.htm" target="_blank">Protein</a> &#8211; Protein Shakes are a great way to get a nutrient dense food with very few calories. Protein provides the body with the raw materials that it needs to repair the muscles.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Gluconic-DMG-p/davinci-gluconic-dmg-8269.htm" target="_blank">Gluconic DMG</a> provides both physical and mental support. It is a methyl donor, and it may help to maximize physical performance.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Pure-Factors-Ultimate-Pro-IGF-600-p/ps-pro-igf-600-00149.htm" target="_blank">Velvet Deer Antler Extract</a> supplies the body with growth factors that may help to improve muscle growth.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Creatine-Powder-p/pure-encapsulations-crm5-0886.htm" target="_blank">Creatine</a> is also commonly used by those trying to build muscle. Creatine helps the body to create energy, and this allows the body to potentially work out harder or longer.</li>
</ul>
<p>Getting plenty of <a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Natural-Sleep-Remedies-p/saw-sleep-already-60.htm" target="_blank">sleep</a> is also important, because it allows your body <strong>resting time to repair itself</strong>. You must also eliminate stress as best you can, and this is one of the most overlooked aspects of building muscle. When you&#8217;re stressed the body releases a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol is responsible for stimulating many of the body&#8217;s reactions to stress, and it can also cause the breakdown of muscle and storage of fat.  Stress can quickly hinder your body&#8217;s ability to build muscle.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been going to the gym regularly, but are still wondering how to increase muscle size, you may not be properly supporting your exercise routine when you&#8217;re out of the gym. Proper exercise routines are essential to your body&#8217;s ability to build muscle, but it is also important to eat right and support your body when you&#8217;re out of the gym. The body depends on a healthy and complete diet, and because of this supplementation may be important. You should also <strong>limit sources of stress</strong> and get plenty of sleep. If you follow the tips in the article you might find it just a little bit easier to get your body ready for the beach.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Take a long deep breath. Listen to music. Read a book. Go for a walk in the woods. There are many ways that people try to conquer stress, but <em>managing stress</em> can be a difficult process. Expelling whatever has you stressed from your mind can be nearly impossible, because once it passes through your thought process it compounds and snowballs out of control. When this happens it can be difficult to sleep or relax, and your brain may need a little extra support. <em>Formula 303</em> is a natural stress supplement that may offer help when you&#8217;re just a little too stressed.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Formula-303-Natural-Relaxant-p/f303-250.htm">Formula 303</a> contains natural ingredients that can help to soothe the over stimulated mind and promote healthy nervous function. <strong>Valerian root</strong> and <strong>passion flower</strong> have a long history of being used to combat stress. They support the function of the brain&#8217;s GABA (gamma amino butyric acid) which helps to reduce the brain&#8217;s reaction to outside stimuli. This internal interaction with the brain&#8217;s chemistry may make it easier to put your project, meeting, or school work to the back of your mind and get some <strong>relaxation</strong>.</p>
<p>Feeling a little skeptical about using herbs to help stress? The actions of Formula 303 also depend on magnesium. Studies have shown that low levels of magnesium can lead to an increase in <strong>stress and anxiety</strong>. It can increase the body&#8217;s reactions to stress, and this may lead to the feelings of being stressed out. Studies have suggested that maintaining healthy magnesium levels can reduce the feelings of stress. Even further stress can cause the body to need more magnesium, so it is important to consume enough magnesium.</p>
<p>The nutrients found Formula 303 work together to help fight the feelings of stress. This can be a great help when you simply can&#8217;t <strong>relax the mind</strong> after a long day. Relaxation and unwinding at the end of the day is an important process that the body needs, and Formula 303 might be just what you need to support the process.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Fruits, Vegetables, and Skin Cancer</h2>
<p>There is a whole new reason to eat your <strong>fruits and vegetables</strong>, and it stems from the possible prevention of <em>melanoma</em>. Melanoma is a potentially deadly form of <strong>skin cancer</strong> that generally begins to develop in the melanocytes, which are cells that are used by the body to produce pigment. When identified and treated at an early stage melanoma can be relatively easy to recover from, but once it begins to grow and spread through the body the prognosis can be unfavorable. Melanoma is the most deadly form of skin cancer; however it isn&#8217;t the most common.</p>
<p>There are a number of treatments for melanoma, but without a doubt the best way to help with melanoma is to take the steps to actively prevent it. This means using <a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Badger-Sunscreen-p/badger-47031-0314.htm" target="_blank">sunscreen</a> and not sunbathing or tanning ever day. Diet is important for most aspects of health, and recent research has shown that <em>eating plenty of fruits and vegetables</em> may help to <strong>reduce the development and spread of cancer cells</strong>.</p>
<p>Gossypin can be found in many fruits and vegetables, and it can provide the body with significant support in the fight against melanoma. A study tested the effect fruits and vegetables had on human melanoma cells in a lab. Gossypin clearly helped to <strong>reduce the spread of melanoma cells</strong>. In further studies conducted on mice, gossypin helps to improve the survival rate by working to reduce the size of cancerous tumors.<br />
As you seek golden brown skin through sunbathing and tanning you are also putting yourself on a fast track for skin cancer.  To help reduce your risk of skin cancer you should be sure to provide yourself with the beneficial gossypin through the consumption of fruits and vegetables.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Metagenics Candibactin AR</strong> is a great natural supplement that can help the digestive and respiratory systems to work in harmony. Many researchers believe that having the respiratory and digestive systems working together is an important factor in immune function. <a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Metagenics-CandiBactin-AR-p/met-ca037-13354.htm">Candibactin-AR</a> fights bacteria within the body, and it can help to keep the lungs, stomach, and intestines healthy.</p>
<p>Candibactin-AR uses natural ingredients that fight viruses, bacteria, and inflammation. These ingredients include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Red Thyme Oil</li>
<li>Oregano Oil</li>
<li>Sage Leaf</li>
<li>Lemon Balm</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Red thyme oil</strong> has <em>antibacterial properties</em>. It can help to fight e. coli within in the body, and by fighting bacteria and e. coli it helps to keep the respiratory and digestive systems healthy and running properly. Red thyme oil can also help to fight listerosis. Listerosis is a deadly food borne disease that can damage the digestive tract.</p>
<p><strong>Oregano oil</strong> is a great way to <em>eliminate parasites within the stomach and intestines</em>. <a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Vaxa-Parasitin-Parasite-Cleanse-p/v693.htm">Parasites</a> can cause various forms of damage, but a recent study published in Phytotherapy Research found that oregano oil can get rid of parasites in as little as ten weeks. Oregano oil can also help to fight MRSA, which is methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. <strong>MRSA</strong> is a superbug that is resistant to many forms of treatment, but oregano oil can combat MRSA.</p>
<p>Sage leaf can be a great way to <strong>reduce inflammation in the lungs and digestive system</strong>. Sage leaf contains rosmarinic acid, which helps to quickly reduce inflammation and irritation within the body. Sage can also promote full and proper digestion, and it can help the body to break down fats.</p>
<p>Lemon balm is a great way to help fight viruses that congregate in the body, and it can also help to reduce stomach and intestinal gas.</p>
<p>Candibactin AR is also an antioxidant, so it can help to fight the formation of free radicals. Free radicals interfere with cellular activity, and they can lead to premature aging and sometimes cancer.<br />
Candibactin-AR helps to <strong>support the respiratory and digestive systems</strong>, and it does this by helping to reduce inflammation, bacteria, and parasites.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Heart disease</strong> is commonly thought of as a disease that affects the elderly. Many believe that the effects of <em>high cholesterol and blood pressure</em> takes decades to set in, but this isn&#8217;t true. Poor cardiovascular health in young adults is a serious problem that America needs to address. Research suggests that the cardiovascular health of young adults (ages 18-24) is disturbingly bad, and only 1 percent of young adults meet the American Heart Association&#8217;s specifications for good heart health. These numbers need to be reversed and <strong>healthy diet and exercise</strong> are the best ways to help.</p>
<p>Clearly it is never too young to be at risk for heart disease, and young people regularly engage in lifestyle choices that can damage their heart. There is a prevailing feeling of invincibility among young people, and many of them are completely devoid of feelings of mortality. This feeling of invincibility leads to the disregard of a healthy diet and exercise. College students spend much of their time sitting around, playing video games, and eating unhealthy foods, like pizza and buffalo wings. Add in the excessive consumption of alcohol and recreational drug use, and you have a cardiovascular disaster in the making.</p>
<p>The consumption of unhealthy foods can cause cholesterol and blood pressure to sky rocket. It is important to take this into consideration, because studies have shown that plaque can begin to build up in the cardiovascular system as early as the teenage years. Many doctors note that the <strong>hardening of the arteries</strong> for those in their 20s and 30s has become an increasingly important problem to address. Alcohol can cause serious damage to the cardiovascular system, but the use of drugs, like cocaine and methamphetamines, is cause for serious alarm. Cocaine and other drugs that speed up the heart rate cause the heart muscles to constrict, and this can lead to a heart attack and maybe even death.</p>
<p>Even those who regularly exercise and are health conscious engage in practices that can damage the cardiovascular system. Many young adults who are constantly in the gym trying to obtain a healthy body actually consume steroids and human growth hormone, and these substances can cause cardiovascular damage. The negative effects of steroids are not uncommon in those that use them. Research suggests that steroids can lead to a boost in blood pressure, and they may also increase cholesterol levels. Steroids may also alter the structure of the heart, and this can have devastating consequences on the cardiovascular system. Steroids may also increase the chances of stroke. Steroids also cause damage to the liver, and they may cause bleeding of the liver and poor excretory activity.</p>
<h3>How to Help</h3>
<p>A change in diet and regular exercise are essential to cardiovascular health. Doctors also recommend that people start getting regularly tested for high cholesterol and blood pressure at the age of 21. Maintaining healthy levels of calcium and magnesium are also important to the cardiovascular system. These minerals help to <strong>support a proper heartbeat</strong>. <a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Chelated-Magnesium-Supplement-p/fe-p-magnesium-chelated-90.htm" target="_blank">Magnesium</a> is particularly important, because it is most abundant in the ventricles and provides the heart the power that it needs to beat. The use of fish oils and CoQ10 could also help. <a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Fish-Oil-Supplements-p/fe-p-omega-3-enteric-60.htm" target="_blank">Fish oil supplements</a> provide the body with <strong>beneficial omega 3 fatty acids</strong>, and these can help to <em>lower triglyceride levels</em>.</p>
<p><strong>CoQ10</strong> can also help with high blood pressure, and it may help to lower cholesterol. In addition, it provides the cardiovascular system with powerful antioxidants. CoQ10 is also used to support the production of cardiovascular energy, and it helps to support a proper heartbeat. Supplementing with <a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Coenzyme-Q10-p/fe-p-coenzyme-q10-30.htm" target="_blank">CoQ10</a> may also help to improve energy levels throughout the body.</p>
<p>Recent research has also suggested that probiotics can help to lower cholesterol. Probiotics are one of the most beneficial supplements, and they are usually used to support digestive health. However, their ability to help with cholesterol makes them a must have for people of all ages.</p>
<p>It is never too young to start thinking about cardiovascular health. Research has shown that young adults ages 18 to 24 generally have poor cardiovascular health, and the American Heart Association believes that only about 1 percent of young adults meet the standards for proper cardiovascular health. It is important for young adults to note the <strong>importance of a healthy diet and exercise</strong>, and the use of supplements may also offer help. Fish oil, probiotics, and CoQ10 may work within the body to provide cardiovascular support.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The number of Americans with Alzheimer&#8217;s disease has drastically increased in recent times, and there appears to be no signs of it slowing down. Today <strong>5.4 million Americans have the disease</strong> and nearly half of people over the age of 85 have Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. It is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, and between 2000 and 2008 the number of deaths that were attributed to Alzheimer&#8217;s increased 66 percent. Upon being diagnosed with Alzheimer&#8217;s it is generally believed that the patient will live for four to eight years, but some people do live as long as twenty years. Most upsetting is the fact that much of this time will be spent in the worst stages of the disease. There are a number of ways to help <strong>reduce your risk of developing Alzheimer&#8217;s disease</strong>, and one of the best natural ways to support healthy cognitive function and to fight Alzheimer&#8217;s disease is with a green tea supplement.</p>
<h3>What is Alzheimers?</h3>
<p><strong>Alzheimer&#8217;s</strong> was first discovered approximately 100 years ago, but frequent research didn&#8217;t begin until the last quarter century. The definite Alzheimer&#8217;s disease causes are unknown, but it is believed to be a result of numerous factors. The initial changes within the brain may start as early as 20 years before the symptoms arise. Alzheimer&#8217;s is generally diagnosed when a <strong>loss of memory</strong> occurs, but the loss of memory also has to be followed by one or more of the following symptoms:</p>
<ul>
<li>Decline of Speech or Writing Ability</li>
<li>Unable to Identify Objects</li>
<li>Loss of Motor Skills</li>
<li>Inability to Think in Abstractions</li>
</ul>
<p>Alzheimer&#8217;s isn&#8217;t believed to have one definite cause. Instead there are numerous factors that contribute to the development of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. The brain contains over one trillion synapses, and as the Alzheimer&#8217;s sets in these synapses begin to breakdown and not function properly. This causes the neurons within the brain to die, and brain function begins to decline. Alzheimer&#8217;s disease also commonly occurs when proteins accumulate in the brain. These proteins become tangled and can cause metals to get caught. This accumulation is often times referred to as plaque, and it can lead to many of the symptoms of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, like dementia.</p>
<h3>Green Tea Supplement Helps</h3>
<p><strong>Green tea</strong> is a nutrient with an endless list of benefits. People use it to help with relaxation, weight loss, and cognitive function. Green tea may also help to reduce the occurrence of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. Many people consume green tea through beverages or supplementation, and one of its ingredients, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), is able to easily penetrate the blood brain barrier and support cognitive function. Green tea also works to block the proteins that can cause plaque to develop and lead to Alzheimer&#8217;s disease.</p>
<p>Studies show that <em>green tea extract</em> &#8211; commonly found in supplements, like <a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Decaffeinated-Green-Tea-Extract-p/pure-encapsulations-gt1-1470.htm" target="_blank">Pure Encapsulations Green Tea Extract</a> &#8211; may help to <strong>limit the amount of detrimental proteins that are able to gather within the brain</strong>. EGCG was shown to reduce the proteins ability to become tangled, and it also helped to fight the metals that could get caught within the proteins, like copper and iron.</p>
<p>Alzheimer&#8217;s disease is a devastating disease that is one the rise. In its later stages it almost always calls for around the clock care, so everybody should do what they can to help reduce their risk of Alzheimer&#8217;s. One way that you can help your brain every day is through the consumption of green tea. Studies have shown that green tea supplements may help to fight the accumulation of proteins that can lead to <em>Alzheimer&#8217;s disease</em>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s very curious that <strong>as the occurrence of poor dietary habits and lack of exercise in children rises</strong>, so does the occurrence of <em>attention deficit hyperactive disorder</em>. It is believed that close to 5.5 million children from the ages of four to seventeen have ADHD, and of these children about 2.7 million take pharmaceutical drugs to combat the effects of ADHD. For some of these children the pharmaceuticals used to help with <strong>ADHD</strong> can be mind altering, and they may also lead to poor appetite, poor sleep, mood swings, and a change in personality. Although these medications offer help to many people, making healthy dietary changes and increasing the amount of physical exercise that children get can help to fight the effects of ADHD.</p>
<p>One of the first dietary changes to make is to consume more natural foods and fewer foods with preservatives, artificial colors and flavors, refined sugars, and chemicals. For years these unhealthy additives have been linked to <strong>poor concentration and focus</strong>. Studies have shown that foods that contain pesticides can increase the likelihood of ADHD. Once foods like this have been removed from the diet they should be replaced with nutritious and healthy foods, because many children who deal with ADHD don&#8217;t consume regular nutritious meals and may have deficiencies in important nutrients. It is also essential to make sure that you children get plenty of omega 3 fatty acids. Many children don&#8217;t eat enough fish, and this can lead to poor omega 3 levels.  Omega 3s are essential to the development of the brain and to neurological function, and they may also help to promote concentration and focus. Initially, it can seem daunting and maybe even impossible to convince your child to eat healthier foods, but making the change now can establish beneficial habits that can last a life time. For kids who need to supplement with omega 3, there are many <a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Nordic-Naturals-s/1551.htm?searching=Y&amp;sort=5&amp;cat=1551&amp;show=10&amp;page=1&amp;f-Chewable=269#FormView">chewable omega 3 supplements</a> that they will gladly take on a daily basis.</p>
<p>Exercise is also an important factor to helping with <a href="http://www.earthturns.com/Vaxa-Attend-ADD-ADHD-p/v636.htm">ADHD</a>. Sitting in front of the television watching cartoons or playing video games has also been linked to a number of behavioral and emotional issues. Instead of allowing your child to camp out in front of the television, let them get plenty of Vitamin D by playing outside. This is a great way to supplement your child&#8217;s new found healthy diet. In addition, children make friends and develop important and beneficial relationships with their peers while playing outside.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve always known that diet is an important factor in maintaining a healthy body, but diet also plays an essential role in cognitive function. If your child struggles to maintain focus and concentration, or has ADHD, it is important to make sure that they are <strong>consuming a healthy diet</strong> that is rich in vitamins, minerals, and omega 3 fatty acids. In addition, plenty of <strong>exercise</strong> may also help to combat cognitive, behavioral, and emotional problems.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>intraMIN by Drucker Labs</h2>
<p><strong>Minerals</strong> are among the most basic nutrients that the body depends on. However, their importance is often overlooked. They are responsible for some of the most basic functions, so let&#8217;s take a look at some of their most important roles within the body:</p>
<ul>
<li>Minerals are used to build important components to the body. They are needed to support the <strong>production and maintenance of bone</strong>. Without minerals, like <em>calcium and magnesium</em>, bone density and strength would be greatly reduced, and this could lead to bone diseases, like osteoporosis. Minerals, like iron, are also used to maintain healthy blood. Iron is used to help produce red blood cells, which help to carry oxygen throughout the body. They are also needed to build and maintain important tissues, such as ligaments and tendons.</li>
<li>Minerals help the body to absorb and utilize important nutrients. The body depends on a wide variety of nutrients, but unfortunately many of these necessary nutrients can be hard for the body to properly absorb and use.</li>
<li>Minerals are also <strong>great for the immune system</strong>. Zinc helps to strengthen the immune system, and some minerals also act as antioxidants. Antioxidants are important, because they are used to fight free radicals. Free radicals kill and damage healthy cells, and they commonly lead to premature aging and cancer. Because of this, it is important to provide the body with plenty of minerals.</li>
<li>Minerals are also needed to maintain a number of biological functions and organ systems. The cardiovascular and nervous system both need calcium and magnesium in order to function properly, and a deficiency in either of these minerals can have dire health consequences.</li>
</ul>
<p>It is important to supply the body with the right amount of minerals, and a <strong>deficiency in minerals</strong> can cause numerous forms of dysfunction within the body. Minerals are needed to build important body parts, utilize nutrients, and support the immune, nervous, and cardiovascular systems. There is no better or comprehensive source of minerals than <a href="http://www.earthturns.com/intraMIN-Organic-Liquid-Minerals-p/drl-min33.htm">intraMIN</a>, so make sure your body gets the proper amount of minerals.</p>

<p>Probiotics also provides help to the immune system, and lactobacillus acidophilus works to <strong>fight harmful bacteria</strong> that reside in the gastrointestinal tract. It may be particularly helpful with h. pylori, which is a bacteria that is believed to affect nearly half of the world&#8217;s population. Lactobacillus acidophilus may also be beneficial for women who experience vaginal infections. Research has shown that it can help with <em>vaginosis</em>, and it may help to fight other bacteria that cause infection.</p>
