It is best to have a multivitamin during meals. The fat-soluble vitamins are better absorbed in combination with the meal, which usually contains an amount of fat. Also vitamin C you better during the meal, because it improves the absorption of iron from the meal. In addition, vitamin C from the formation of nitrosamines in the stomach against harmful nitrate. For the vitamins of the B complex vitamins makes the time of taking out.

Theoretically speaking the body would be able to take mega doses vitamins in better when they have a delayed-release. At high doses the recording will automatically lower into the intestine, causing an amount of vitamins will leave the body again. However, this is only the case with mega doses, at low-dose supplements it's sufficient to this during the meal.

For safety it is best to choose a supplement with up to 200% of the recommended daily amount of vitamin A and vitamin B3 (Nicotinic Acid), 300% of the recommended daily amount of vitamin B11 (folic acid) and up to 5 times the recommended daily allowance (500%) of the other vitamins per day.

In an emergency, though. That was demonstrated by a long-term research with patients in the hospital were fed with artificial feeding to which all the vitamins were added. Such research is also used to determine what exactly is the vitamin requirements of the body. Some vitamins from supplements is more easily absorbed than from our diet, because the vitamins in supplements in free form. Vitamin supplements are certainly no substitute for foods for optimum health; fruit and vegetables contain vitamins for example next to many other important substances, such as fibre and all kinds of bio-active substances.

Vitamins are important for good health. Extra vitamins provide not that you extra healthy. However supplement in some cases very meaningful. As long as you don't have extreme amounts of vitamins takes is a supplement in complete safety.
In England is to a large number of vitamins a safe upper limit. This is the quantity that is still safe. Per vitamin and mineral is on our website listed what a safe amount. Prolonged use of a multivitamin with dosages above this limit can complaints.

If you suspect to have complaints through the use of a (multi) vitamin supplement we recommend you contact your doctor or the manufacturer.

In England the government has set guidelines via establishing what the RDA for vitamins and minerals. RDA stands for recommended daily allowance. This quantity is so established that most of the population is assured of the right amount of a certain vitamin or mineral.
The vitamin information Office recommends that you, if necessary, to choose a supplement with 100% to 300% of the RDA. On the packaging of a supplement or food stands a ADH, but that does not distinguish between different population groups, gender and/or age. This RDA gives only an indication. This can sometimes be confusing.

An example:
A woman with a pregnancy desire has a daily supplement with 400 micrograms of folic acid. For her is that 400 micrograms is equal to 100% RDA. The RDA is 200 mcg for all other Dutch citizens. Therefore, on the packaging that 400 mcg is equal to 200% RDA.

Some population groups have needed a supplement in addition to their daily diet, even though they eat still so healthy.
These groups have extra vitamins needed:
Women who are pregnant or want to become: read more
Babies: read more
Children under four years: read more
Women over 50 years: read more
Men and women over 70 years: read more
People who come out or not sufficiently cover their skin.
People with dark or tinted skin.
Vegans: read more
In addition, there are groups that extra on their (food) habits should pay attention because of a greater chance of a vitamin deficiency; (top) athletes, dieters, the elderly, smokers, vegetarians, sick and drug users. It is best to adjust the (food) habits, but if this fails, then a multivitamin for recharging.

After strong consumer pressure the European Commission states that all ingredients in food products must be declared. Only ingredients contained in the product in very small quantities, should be excluded. There must also be a list of allergenic substances that must always be included on the labeling  if found in the food. The new labeling rules must apply to both food and wine, because wine contains sulfites, which very many people cannot tolerate.

For years, the rules have been designed so that they protects the economic interests of producers, because they do not have to declare ingredients, either natural or artificial, even if they represent less than 25 percent of the finished product.

Everyone knows the autumn and the winter brings not just cold weather but also colds.

The diet must be our medicine!

40 percent of  English people between 30 and 70 years of age have high blood pressure.
Only half of the Britains over 40 years know their blood pressure.
Between 12,000 and 14,000 people affected each year by stroke (blood clot in the brain, or cerebral hemorrhage).
Over 50,000 lives from WITH consequences.
A blood pressure of 140/90 is considered a normal blood pressure. More than a million adults in the UK have high blood pressure. But it is only half, who is aware of it, even though the disease increases the risk of blood clots and brain bleeding significantly.

High blood pressure is costing  society each year many resources in terms of lost earnings, hospital admissions and premature death for citizens. But especially on a personal level the impact can be very extensive, since high blood pressure increases the risk of blood clots in the brain and brain bleeding significantly, just as the whole 2,000 Danes die each year as a result of high blood pressure. Anyway, there is as yet no official Danish plan on how the fight against high blood-pressure will be optimized.

An action plan for better blood pressure
"The current effort against elevated blood pressure is simply not good enough. As it is today, discovered the elevated blood pressure often only when the patient has suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage or embolism. It is not good enough, when high blood pressure can be readily diagnosed, and when treatment options are good and easily accessible ". So says Chief Consultant Helle Rasmussen from Lif and points out that the first step on the way to bring down the problems as a result of high blood pressure could be that all persons over 45 years of age each year measured their blood pressure.

This point of view, Ibsen, as His chief medical officer is Denmark's leading specialist in hypertension, agrees.

"There is only one way for realization of high blood pressure, and it is to measure it. This does not mean that all people who have a slightly elevated blood pressure, in medical treatment, but if half a year of healthy life style, for example, has not worked, then it will be both unreasonable and indefensible not to treat the people medical".

Are you fresh when you get up in the morning? If not, it is a sign that you have not slept enough.

On the other hand, it is not so obvious that it can be harmful not to sleep enough, despite the fact that you feel fresh. It's the american ­sleep doctor Lawrance j. Epstein of Harvard Medical School, who, among other things. is for the father of the book "Guide to a Good night's Sleep", which draws attention to this problem.

The exact sleep ­ needs vary, but as a starting point, the adults need 7-10 hours of sleep each night.

Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania has previously conducted experiments in which participants only got 6 hours sleep every night for 2 weeks. At the end of this experiment, it turned out that brain activity was similar to that of a person who hadn't slept for 2 whole days.

Sleep is important as it is the time where your body and cells get to grow, regenerate and repair themselves.

What is the biggest enemy to all the morning haters out there? Yes, it must surely be the alarm clock when it every morning,  loud and rowdy and addicts one to stand up.
You feel tired, depressed and with no energy left even though you have been sleeping all night. And when you finally succeed after several attempts to get out of the warm bed you are dizzy.

For most of the morning haters suffer from too low blood pressure (hypotonia). When they stand up, pouring blood down into the veins in the legs when they stand. This gives the brain too little oxygen, and you get dizzy or faint briefly.

In contrast to high blood pressure too low blood pressure is not a disease, but "only" a functional disorder, which is either a response to a disease (heart disease or hormonal disorder) or is hereditary.

Here are some tips on how to stop this and make you feel more awake.

Movement is more important than medicine. Swimming, jogging, cycling-anything that can bring your blood pressure up on brands.
Bath with alternating cold and warm water combined with brush massage can provide an active start to a new day for those who don't like to get up.
Drink 1-2 cups of coffee a day, as well as Rosemary-tea-and-grab on and a glass of sparkling wine in the evenings, you can liven up your circuit.
Take a Rosemary-bath at regular intervals. Also externally, you can use this herb, which has a pleasant invigorating effect.
Connective tissue massage has an excellent effect on a blood pressure that is too low. Talk to your doctor-he may want to. give you a referral if you have needs for connective tissue massage.
And if you still feel tired during the day, so put your forearms in cold water for 1-2 minutes and massage them. then wipe thoroughly. This puts you in the blood circulation.
