Like a lot of people- i'm always on the lookout for foods that will make me stronger, feel better, and look younger.Could functional foods be just what the doctor ordered? You see them in almost every aisle - foods with medical additives$1 6But separating the hope from the hype sure can lead to a mental tug of war
6Now some foods get a solid scientific seal of approval. - orange juice with calcium added to build strong bones. -Oats to help lower the risk of heart disease. $3 6then come products with some science behind them -$- 6and a hefty price tag.
Such as eggs with extra dha=a fatty acid which helps keep your eyes
and the nervous system healthy. But youll "shell" out more than twice as much for these eggs as regular ones - which have some dha anyway.
6 Now real confusion:
Products like - yummy bears with fiber- a typical youngster would need to eat6 43 to get their recommended amount of daily fiber. And you'll pay 10 dollars for just 60 of them.
!
6Then are products that have the potential to hurt you.
Such as soda pop with ginko - first off - ginko has never been proven to sharpen brain function in people without Alzheimer's disease. and second - it can have side effects such as causing headaches, raising your blood pressure and causing serious bleeding if your on blood thinners.
And to boost your mood naturally- there nothing like a glass of juice with St. johns wort. right? billed as a natural prozac - it's an herb that can that can interfere with heart medicines, seizure medicines, and anesthesia- and nine months after a drink you might be in for a little surprise one study found st johns wort can cut the effectiveness of the birth control pill in half. $ 6Bottom line -you need to use common sense when it comes to food as medicine. that means Be a skeptic- don't believe everything you read. Remember natural is best- meaning real food. a piece of fruit has more than 125 helpful compounds- take one alone - and you might not get ANY benefits. Finally these food additives aren't magic bullets no matter what promises you buy - they won't save you if you don't live a healthy life. im DR Dave Hnida for CBS news tag- HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS ARE NOT REGULATED - SO DR. DAVE SAYS BUYER BEWARE WHEN PURCHASING THEM IN ANY FORM - EVEN WHEN ADDED TO YOUR FOOD.))
