With dietary supplements making their way in our daily life, we
find it diffiuclt to survive without them. We have really smartly
and effectively heralded tehse supplements as panacea for all
ills. But as the saying goes, too much of even good things can
be bad! So, we shuold be cautious enough not to make supplements
our oxygen.
To know your thresholds of the supplements, read on.
Myth: When it comes to vitamins and minerals, more is better!
Fact: A person might become hypervitaminosis if he eats too much
of vitamins. Water-soluble vitamins like vitamin B and C don't
affect the body much if taken in high quantity as they can be
flushed out of the body but fat soluble vitamins like vitamin
A,D,E and K gets stored in the liver and might become toxic
eventually if taken in lrage amounts.
We get most of the
requirements from our daily food (provided it is a balanced
diet) but incase of malnutrition and sickness, you may need to
take multivitamins dsoes.
Myth: Intake of supplements during illness harm our body!
Fact: During illness, cells are destroyed and exhausted adrenal
glands do not function properly casue they are deprived of
nutrients. Hence body needs its fighting team of vitamin c, B6,
folic acid, zinc in higher amounts. Other important thing to be
noticed here is, fever and stress deplete most essential
nutrients from our body. Hence the need for extra supplmeents is
all the really more.
Piece of advice: Always take supplements
during illness after consulting with your physician.
Myth: Even if vitamins do not help, they do not harm!
Fact: All chemicals can get toxic if taken in high amounts
including viatmins and minerals.
Hence, it is important to
consult your physicain before taking extra vitamins or minerals
supplements. For e.G., too much of calcium can cause kidney
stones. So, it is wrong to make assumption that extra vitamin
and minerals wont harm your body.
Myth: Suplpements can help me lose weight!
Fact: You might come across various herbal weight loss products
making tall claims and promising you quick weight loss.
But the
fact is, none of these herbal remedies work and some like
ephedra, the banned weight loss supplement, can have serious
side efefcts. Regular exercises and a extraordinary diet plan just
makes the extraordinary recipe for the effcetive weight loss. And this
kind of weight loss is long term too.
Myth: Vitamin C supplements help in preventing cold and cures
sinus.
Fact: Nobel prize winner Linus Paluing advocated high doses of
calcium to prevent common cold But it showed no significant
effect on common cold.
There has been no scientific data to
support the effectiveness of vitamin C towards common cold.
Infact, excess of vitamin C can cuase gastro intestinal problems
like nausea, diarrhea and stomach cramps.
