The following are list of the best and worst supplements when it comes to ridding yourself of the following ailments:

MUSCLE PAIN:

Best – heating pads; the warmth from the heating pad penetrates to release muscle tension that releases aches and pains.  It is wonderful for chronic joint pain.

Worst – muscle creams

HEADACHES:

Best – Sage.  If used frequently for 3 months or longer you will also see a profound improvement in hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms.

Worst – Evening Primrose Oil.  This doesn’t outperform placebos which are inactive.

CHEST CONGESTION:

Best – Cough Expectorant.  This will bring the phlegm up and out which is what you want – to get rid of it!

Worst – Cough Suppressant.  This keeps the cough down and you don’t want that.  You want it to come out.

CONSTIPATION:

Best – Probiotic supplements which gives the body back the bacteria that naturally helps you to digest.

Worst – laxative – chronic use and your body will forget how to do it on its own. This is only a quick fix.

GOOD NIGHT’s SLEEP:

Best – Chamomile tea which is a natural sedative.  Sleep on your right side as opposed to your left as this will give your heart a little extra room. Use a humidifier which will circulate the air and give you moisture to help you sleep soundly.

Worst – Alcohol (wine) – drinking before bed will give you a poor quality of sleep.  Sleeping on your left side will not give you as much space in your chest cavity giving you more problems for heart failure.  Using a fan as opposed to a humidifier will dry you out and cause you to wake up thirsty which will disrupt your sleep.  You will not get a relaxed sleep with a fan on in the room.

MIGRAINES:

Best – FEVERVIEW – 1200 mg a day.  This works medicinally to prevent your brain from dilating up.

Worst – Chamomile tea – this will only relax you, not get rid of your migraine.

ARTHRITIS:

Best – Chondroitin – 1200 mg a day. This has been shown to block enzymes that can cause problems and breakdown cartilage.  It reduces swelling and pain.

Worst – Arnica – this works well for muscles but not for joints.

LOW LIBIDO:

Best – Ginseng  - this will boost your sex drive!  It improves arousal in both genders.  Take 600 mg a day.

Worst – Yohimbe – causes rapid increase in blood pressure and heart rate.  This will get you excited but not for the right reason!

IMMUNITY:

Best – Astragalus – 1200 mg a day for stress and fatigue which can lower your immunity.

Worst – DHEA – mother of all stress hormones!

SOAPS TO PREVENT INFECTION:

Best – Foaming Hand Soap with olive oil.  This is a natural antioxidant that has two proven skin soothers like beta-kerotene and vitamin E which can also reverse sun damage.

Worst – Antibacterial hand soap – we don’t need the antibacterial in them because it can contribute to antibiotic resistance and dry your skin as well.

Let’s face it, when it comes to diet and exercise, there is a ton of information out there and we don’t always know what’s best.  We are essentially lead in a million different directions never knowing which way to turn. Therefore, we end up on a never ending cycle trying to lose weight.  There are quite honestly, millions of things we could try to lose weight, but there are certainly a few things that are definitely worth incorporating into your diet.  I did the research and this is what I found:

DIET PILLS:

Best diet pills- Glucomannan which has tons of fiber

Worst diet pills – ones that have ephedrine which can cause sudden strokes

SNACKS:

Best snack – Inca peanuts (from Peru) which are loaded with Omega 3′s and Vitamin E which fights heart disease

Worst snack – any type of bar – they are usually made with lots of sugar or sugar alcohol that bloat you and the side effects are not worth it

METABOLISM BOOSTERS:

Best metabolism booster – Cayenne pepper

Worst metabolism booster – energy drinks which are usually a quick fix, but then cause you to crash after

EXERCISES:

Best exercise – lunges which work more muscles than sit-ups and essentially burn more calories for losing weight

Worst exercise – sit-ups: planks are much better and more effective for losing weight

This has worked for many people that have been on that never-ending cycle of battling weight loss so I thought it would be worth mentioning for others to read.  Good luck!
