2006-10-16 Base Supplements May Help Fight Osteoporosis

The base supplement may work to increase BMD by neutralizing the high acidity of the modern Western diet. "In the modern diet, acid is generated from foods like dairy products, grains, and meats," D r. Krapf explains.

Research has indicated that diet can play an important role in alleviating depression. The most basic principle in preventing depression and mood swings, is to eat a balanced diet that contains foods from all the different food groups - fruit and vegetables, unprocessed grains and cereals, lean meat, fish, eggs, milk and dairy products, legumes and nuts, poly- or monounsaturated margarine and oils.

If you are eating an unbalanced diet, or one that concentrates too much on only one or two of the food groups, then you can expect this to have a negative effect not only on physical, but also on mental health. If you are on a low-carbohydrate diet then the chances are good that you are not getting enough B vitamins. The vitamins that make up the B complex influence practically every metabolic process in the human body and there are indications that a B complex deficiency can exacerbate depression.
