Know Your Vitamin Supplements

Healthy Tip:
Exercise for Heart Health

If you think that you can keep your heart healthy by walking, you're only partly right,
 "You have to stress your heart with vigorous exercise at least twice a week for
 30 minutes each session -- that means exercising at a revved-up rate 'til you're somewhat
 out of breath," he says. Though walking at a slow or moderate pace will help you keep
 the weight off and reduce your stress levels, it won't give your heart the exercise it needs
 to stay strong and healthy.



Vitamin Supplements

Even though vitamins are generally good for you, and you might
have no cause to think that there may be dangers associated with
using too much vitamin supplement or too many vitamins, there
 are certain dangers that might come along with using too much
in general. If you are going to be responsible and truly understand
what you are putting in your body, you should know that indeed
too many vitamins and supplements might actually cause you problems.
 However, it is important to know how much you should be using at
any given time. Dangerous results are real.

For instance, if you have too much vitamin D in your system, you
might be causing yourself kidney damage. Vitamin D is generally
good for you, so it is simply a matter of knowing your limits and
knowing how much you should take. Don’t think that just because
the supplement bottle says to take one a day that you will be better
off or increase the results you want by taking more than that.
That is simply not true – you will actually be causing yourself harm
 if you take more than you are supposed to be taking. Vitamin A
commonly has the same results. Liver damage is very series and can
 cause many other problems, resulting in death.

If you are taking regular doses of niacin, you should know that you
 might experience flushing and stinging of the skin. This is natural,
and a side effect that can be managed. However, if you take too much
 niacin, you might be causing heart and liver problems for yourself.
Once again, it’s simply an issue of only taking the recommended amount.

Mineral supplements can be dangerous too. Even if you are just increasing
some of your mineral intact by a modest amount, you might be finding
 that this is leading to imbalances in your body’s ability to use other types
 of minerals. If you take more than just 5 times the recommended doses
of supplements such as iron, chromium, zinc or selenium, it can actually
be a toxic event for your body. Almost every kind of vitamin and mineral
can end up being toxic if you take too much.

Therefore, you should know that while vitamins and supplements are
generally good for you, there are many times that these could actually
 become harmful, especially if you take more than is recommended to
take during the day. For those reasons, you should simply be careful to
 only take what is recommended each day, and not more.
