The best mineral for a healthy heart is magnesium - it is given to heart attack patients and improves their survival rate several times over.  Magnesium helps keep the "electrical impulses" in your body in good shape - it keeps your muscles from twitching and that includes your heart muscle.  (meaning palpitations)\n\nGood for your heart, though not a vitamin/mineral is omega 3 fatty acids - what's found in canola oil (and flaxseed oil).  \n\nVitamin D - the kind you get from sitting in the sun (the supplemental kind you have to convert to active vitamin D inside your body) - it keeps your system calm and your heart relaxed.

It Could hurt you....this depends on how much zinc that you already have in your body, There is a such thing as too much of something....there are different measurements according to age that one should have....While a zinc deficiency is a health disaster, once the body's needs have been met, more is not better. If you take too much zinc, you may experience zinc toxicity, which may result in abdominal cramping, diarrhea and vomiting.\n\n      Excessive zinc intake will eventually affect the balance and proper ratios to numerous other important nutrients that may include iron, calcium, selenium, nickel, phosphorus, copper, as well as Vitamin A, B1, C, and others.\n\n      Long term overdosing on zinc may also cause, or contribute to gastrointestinal problems, hair loss, anemia, loss of libido, impotence, prostatitis, ovarian cysts, menstrual problems, depressed immune functions, muscle spasms, sciatica, renal tubular necrosis / interstitial nephritis, dizziness and vomiting, among others.\n\n      Zinc toxicity may also (in doses > 80 mg/day) decrease levels of HDL-cholesterol and white blood cells. Impaired cholesterol metabolism may also result from excess intake of zinc supplements.\n\n      The upper limit of safety for zinc established by the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine is 40 milligrams daily for adults.\n\n      The Zinc Tolerable Upper Intake Levels for different life stages are:\nInfants\n0-6 months 4 (mg/day)\n7-12 months 5 (mg/day)\n\nChildren\n1-3 years 7 (mg/day)\n4-8 years 12 (mg/day)\nMales, Females\n9-13 years 23 (mg/day)\n14-18 years 34 (mg/day)\n19-70 years 40 (mg/day)\n> 70 years 40 (mg/day)\n\nPregnancy\n< 18 years 34 (mg/day)\n19-50 years 40 (mg/day)\n\nLactation\n< 18 years 34 (mg/day)\n19-50 years 40 (mg/day)

Chromium is an essential trace mineral that helps the body maintain normal blood sugar levels. Chromium also may play a role in increasing HDL cholesterol (the good kind) while reducing overall cholesterol levels. It has also been linked to reducing body fat and body weight. This chromium is in the picolinate form. (available in the form of capsule 200 mcg/day)\n\nBy\nSURESH KUMAR .M.P.T.,M.I.S.C.P\nCHARTERED PHYSIOTHERAPIST\nskmpt2002@yahoo.co.uk

There are many ways to avoid a cold and if you should get one zinc is a good supplement to help you get over it.  This year I found out that 6 drops of Tea Tree Oil in a small amount of water really helped me.  I have not been sick all year, even though everyone else was.  You drink the water and tea tree oil.  It smells awlful and taste bad too, but it really helps.  Important to know that you don't mix meds with herbs, oil or any holistic stuff, leave about an hour between the two.  \n\nAlso washing of the hands and using water nasal spray helps in prevention of spreading the virus.\n\nWintergreen, cinnamon, eucylipus and peppermint oils also help in reliving aches and pains due to colds.  Helps break up congestion.  \n\nA tablespoon of cider vinger daily also helps the body fight off many illnesses.  Very good for digestion.\n\nIf your digestive tract and bowels don't work properly you are open to many illnesses.  Acidospholis is excellent for keeping your digestive tract in order and keeps you healthy.
