			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Carbohydrates and fats are macronutrients, and macronutrients are specific types of nutrients that provide either energy or calories to the body. Nutrients are substances that are required to promote growth, healthy metabolism and other vital functions of the body. Macro means large, and macronutrients are nutrients that are required in relatively large amounts in order to promote growth. Each macronutrient provides calories, but the amount of calories provided by each of these nutrients varies. Carbohydrates and proteins both provide 4 calories per gram, and fat provides 9 calories per gram. In addition to carbohydrates, fats and proteins, there is only one other substance that provides calories, which is alcohol. Alcohol provides 7 calories for every gram, but alcohol is not treated as a macronutrient because we do not require it for survival.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Generic medications have the same active ingredients as their brand name counterparts.  Tests must be submitted to the Food and Drug Administration, the FDA, that prove the generic medication has the same clinical effect on the body.  They are less expensive because the generic manufacturer does not have to spend money on research and development, and the cost savings are passed directly onto you.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The benefits of taking nutritional supplements are endless no matter if you have a chronic illness or feel that you are perfectly healthy. In today&#8217;s world of instant gratification, high-paced lifestyles with fast food and on-the-go meals, it is no wonder that our society&#8217;s personal health is degenerating at an alarming rate. Although we do have more medical resources in order to diagnose and treat illnesses quicker and easier, wouldn&#8217;t it be more feasible to prevent an illness before it even starts, or at best minimize the results of having a chronic illness.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Did you know that calcium is the most common mineral in the human body?  About 99% of the calcium in your body is in your bones and teeth.  The remaining one percent is found in your blood and soft tissue.  But the one percent found in your blood and fluid surrounding the cells (extracellular fluid) must be maintained within a very narrow range to maintain normal body functions otherwise, the body will demineralize or remove bone to maintain normal blood calcium levels!  Therefore it is vital that you maintain adequate levels of calcium in your system and why doctors recommend a calcium supplement each day.Calcium plays an essential role in the human body. It forms the main structural element in your bones, and your bones also act as a calcium reservoir.  You body uses this reservoir to maintain blood calcium at stable levels.  Your body requires your blood calcium levels to be maintained because of the diversity of roles calcium plays in cells, including:

muscle contraction,
nerve transmission,
blood clotting, and
enzyme reactions.
