Traditional Views Of Vitamins & Minerals



More and more scientists are starting to suspect that traditional medical views of vitamins and minerals have been too limited. While researchers may not endorse the expansive claims of hard-core vitamin enthusiasts, evidence suggests that the nutrients play a much more complex role in assuring vitality and optimal health than was previously thought. Vitamins-often in doses much higher than those usually recommended-may protect against a host of ills ranging from birth defects and cataracts to heart disease and cancer

VITAMINS:

Vitamin B5 – When grouped and taken collectively, B vitamins perform at their optimum. They, and B5 particularly, are excellent for decreasing swelling.

Vitamin B3 – This particular vitamin minimizes tissue inflammation and dilates small arteries, improving blood circulation.

5 Facts about geese and the lessons we could learn from them

How well do you work togethere with your team and company, well here is a true story about geese and we can learn from them.

Fact 1: As each goose flaps its wings, it creates an “uplift” for the birds that follow. By flying in a “V” formation, the whole flock has 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew alone.

Lesson: People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier, because they are traveling on the thrust of each other.

Fact 2: When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. It quickly moves back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front of it.

Lesson: If we have as much sense as a goose, we stay in formation with those headed where we want to go. We are willing to accept their help and give our help to others.
