[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1085124, member: 2189"] You make a good point about supplements but IMO the FDA is equally problematic so having their blessing may not be any better either. Where at all possible, get your vitamin and mineral needs from actual food sources themselves rather than a simple pill. There may be cases where the supplement becomes necessary but food sourced vitamins and minerals will always be best. On reducing inflammation, Dr. Joseph Mercola on his website lists 6 things to do that help reduce inflammation. 1) Stop Smoking 2) Think olive oil, fish, nuts eg Mediterranean diet rich in Omega 3 3) Get Active 4) Shrink your waist size women over 35 inches/men over 40 inches high inflammation risk 5) Get enough sleep (my own personal weakness) 7.5 hours per night 6) Reduce stress Also Vitamin D [URL="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12454321?dopt=Abstract"][COLOR=#ff0000]according to some[/COLOR][/URL] has been found to reduce inflammation and the best source for that is found outside above one's head. I've found sitting outside in the sun to also be a stress reducer along with watching the chipmunks who will literally come and play under my feet if I sit still enough. That and watching the humming birds does it every time for me. An excellent supplement for inflammation is the carotenoid [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astaxanthin"][COLOR=#ff0000]Astaxanthin[/COLOR][/URL] but do your research (both pros and cons) on this. There is a synthetic Astaxanthin that many have questions but I'm hearing good things about the natural Astaxanthin derived from microalgae. Also found naturally in salmon, trout and krill as in krill oil supplement which is high in Omega oils. [/QUOTE]
