This is close to my heart.
Bill C47 sections 500-504 is where the changes are being made to Natural Health products (this includes skin care, natural toiletries etc). Very interesting is how decriminalization of hard drugs has taken place in BC and Health Canada wants to take away natural health care products and devices! We need to speak up, and let them know this is not okay to take away our personal choices.

Is Fish Oil good for improved mental health in men?
Fish oil delivers Omega-3 fatty acids, known as essential fatty acids, the body is unable to produce these on it's own. they come from fatty fish such as Salmon and tuna, which are both high in EPA (eicosatetraenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) each playing a unique and important health benefit in the body.
Let's take a look at how fish oils can improve men's mental health. Research has shown that men have a much more difficult time recognizing the symptoms of depression and do not seek out support and treatment the same as women do. Depression can make you feel hopeless, overwhelmed and an ongoing sadness that can result in low blood levels of the chemicals EPA and DHA. Regular intake of Omega-3 in the form of regular consumption (at least 2 times per week) of salmon or tuna and or supplements is key, because it plays such a vital role in the brain function and can be seen as a countermeasure for depression and can help to lessen the tendency of depression in as little as 3 weeks. It accomplishes this because Omega-3's can easily travel through the brain cell membrane and interact with mood-related molecules inside the brain. Due to the anti-inflammatory properties of the fish oils, they have the ability to relieve the stress of a depressed person.

Vitamin C - How important is it?
By the end of this article I hope you will have a better knowledge of the wonders of Vitamin C..

Vitamin C has a plethora of clinical uses, ranging from Anemia, Arthritis, Atherosclerosis, Cold, Diabetes, Herpes infection, High Cholesterol, Infertility, Peptic Ulcers and Surgery Recovery to name just a few. Vitamin C also helps in the absorption of iron, however it has been found that iron is a detriment to the absorption of Vitamin C.
Vitamin C is used to aid those withdrawing from drug addictions such as narcotics, caffeine, ni****ne, and sugar. This is possibly due to the detoxifying antioxidant properties.
Vitamin C is not stored in the body so any excess is excreted out through the urine. For the most part vitamin c is non-toxic. The most common side effect is diarrhea, which happens when the body tissue fluids get full of ascorbic acid and usually occurs after a dose of more than 10 grams.
Scurvy was once a fairly common disease, also known as vitamin C deficiency. Scurvy is more likely to occur in formula fed infants, teenagers, and elderly who do not eat fresh fruits. Smokers with poor diets and individuals with irritable bowel syndrome tend to have lower vitamin C levels in their blood. The symptoms of scurvy are produced mainly by the effects of ascorbic acid on collagen formation. The first signs are poor resistance to infection, slow healing of wounds, bruising easily. The decrease of collagen also causes the bones to become brittle and fragile.
Most fruits and vegetables meet our daily requirements of 10-20mg of vitamin C per day. Infants need 35mg, ages 1-14 requires approximately 50mg. smokers increase their daily requirement to 200mg per day. Copper inactivates vitamin C, both ni****ne and estrogen seem to increase blood levels of copper.
Vitamin C is the most commonly consumed supplement. it comes in many different forms, Time-release capsules, chewable tablets, liquid, effervescent powders, and of course fresh fruits and vegetables.
Vitamin C works quickly and your daily dosage should be broken up over the course of the day for ultimate absorption. Daily requirements for vitamin C depends on a variety of variables, age, health, weight, and energy levels.
I hope you have found this article interesting and if you have any subject you are interested in please drop me a note and I will gladly post about it.
