Swiss chard is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, magnesium, copper, manganese, potassium, vitamin E and iron. It is a very good source of dietary fiber, choline, vitamin B2, calcium, vitamin B6, phosphorus and protein.

Fish Oil

Fish oil is now the third most widely used dietary supplement in the United States, about 10 percent of Americans take the pill for the omega-3 fatty acids.

According to the National Institutes of HealthA study from the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology omega-3 fatty acid DHA in fish oil enhances B cell activity (a white blood cell), believed to prevent disease by reducing inflammation.

Findings show omega-3 fatty acids may help to:

Lower blood pressure
Reduce triglycerides
Slow the development of plaque in the arteries
Reduce the chance of abnormal heart rhythm
Reduce the likelihood of heart attack and stroke
Lessen the chance of sudden cardiac death in people with heart disease

Supplements are an unregulated industry so spending money on inferior products is a real concern.

The dark green rind is considered a fruit and comes from the same family of zucchini, pumpkin and other squashes. Studies have show that they are a natural diuretic known for secreting and promoting the flow of urine. Cucumbers can aid with kidney and urinary bladder disease as well as liver and pancreatic disease. Individuals with conditions such as high and low blood pressure have been know to benefit from cucumbers because of there potassium content.

The Best Way To Maintain YOUR Health:

Patients often ask what they can do to maintain their health. We recommend having a primary care doctor that knows you and is available to answer questions about your health and changing health. Annual blood testing is the most important step aging adults can take to prevent life-threatening disease. With blood test results, you can catch critical changes in your body before they manifest as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, or worse. Having the proper blood tests can empower you to enact a science-based disease-prevention program that could add decades of healthy life.

Ginger

Drinking a cup of ginger tea before traveling can help prevent the nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness. You can also drink some at the first sign of nausea to relieve the symptom. It is useful in improving digestion and increasing absorption of food, ginger tea can also help with bloating after eating too much!

Curcumin AKA Tumeric

Turmeric Contains Bioactive Compounds With Powerful Medicinal
Properties. These compounds are called curcuminoids, the most important of which is curcumin. Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.

The main reason antioxidants are so beneficial, is that they protect our bodies from free radicals. Curcumin is a potent antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals due to its chemical structure.

Dr Scott recommends that his patients take a Curcumin 500 with Bioperine supplement daily.
