There are many diet pills and gimmicks out there to help burn fat, but there are some that actually work very well,  which is what we are going to talk about. Unless we are willing to diet and exercise in an extreme fashion such as that of a bodybuilder eating lean and 5 to 6 meals a day, losing weight and fat can be hard to accomplish,  this is when a fat binder comes in handy.

What a fat binder does is help eliminate ingested fat from our bodies, the way it does it is by gathering up fat in the stomach before the fat is actually digested or absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. This makes things a little bit easier when dieting, this does not mean going out and eating every greasy thing you see. but it is an effective way to not add any additional fat to your body through the way of food.

There are several different fat binder supplements on the market but the one that has been around the longest is called Proactol Plus, originally sold just as Proactol, Proactol plus is a new and improved version of this fat binder.

So if you are looking for a way to eliminate extra fat while dieting this is a good option as you wont have to be so careful about counting calories and wont have to worry as much about fat intake, this does not mean  not watching your fat intake,  but if you do get some extra fat in your system the fat binder will help eliminate it.

Apparently one of the reasons for people thinking this way in America is because Americans in some form relate to their surroundings where most communities look the same, sure there are bad neighborhoods, but most cities and small communities all have the same things, restaurants, shopping malls so its very easy to assimilate that people are ok but   really do not realize how bad off they are.

You are probably wondering what does this have to do with health, well it has a lot to do with health, just as Americans do not realize how poor they are and what majority of the country is very wealthy, many neglect to see the reality in herbal products and supplements, mainly because people are bombarded 24/7 with advertisements from pharmaceutical companies.

For erections there is Viagra and cialis, for low testosterone there is a medicine that will increase that,  the list can go on and on,  there is virtually a medication that cures anything, bone density, calcium deficiency, trouble breathing it does not stop,  and sure in the advertisements they tell you how well they work and after that there is a list of sh***t that can happen to you if you do take the meds for an extended period of time,  the good thing for the pharmaceutical companies is that they are making billions selling their products.

Herbal supplements and tonics

Now there are tons of naysayers out there in fact in many modern countries the word alternative medicine is taboo , once the word natural, herbal or supplement arises it simply adds  a red flag to those products sating they will not work , however much has been said about the placebo effect in many prescription medications, there’s a great article published in wired magazine about placebo effects in prescription medications and its truly eye opening, even down to the way the pharmaceutical companies picked different colors and designs for each medication to become more appealing.

The bottom line is its everyone’s  independent choice on what they do to their bodies, a lot of this can be attributed to the way modern society functions and thinks, in fact with such fast paced societies focusing on work and money its a wonder people are not sicker than they are.

With health care going the way it is and natural foods becoming more scarce, we can only believe this is a wake up call for everyone to consider alternative methods to treat their ailments  with natural products, if you have never tried it before there is always a first time, and just for once ignore what everyone says and give the natural stuff a try, you will be amazed at the positive results the natural stuff can provide you.

Vitamin C was used to treat Scurvy in the 17th century, although the cure for scurvy was not isolated to vitamin C what they did know is that eating oranges and lemons treated scurvy, which was later found that the ascorbic acid in the fruit was what treated this deadly disease.

Unlike mammals and other animals the human body does not produce ascorbic acid naturally humnas need to get it from foods , vitamins and supplements, most fruits and veggies are good sources of vitamin C.

Primary sources of Vitamin C include, citrus fruits, , green peppers, strawberries, tomatoes.

Toxicity from Vitamin C is very rare, mainly because our bodies can not store it.

A lack of Vitamin C in our diet can cause, Gingivitis, dry hair, nose belleds, easy bruising, painfull joints and decreased ability to fight infection, even the posibility of slow weight gain because of a slow metabolism.

In order to get the complete benefit of Vitamin C it is important to your  daily requirement trough normal diet or with Vitamin C supplements, Vitamin C is not fat soluble so therefore it does not hang around in our bodies.

A normal dossage for children 1-3 years of age is 15mg a day

Boys and Girls 14-18 years old should get around 70Mg per day

Adults around 75 to 80 mg a day.
