What Dietary Supplements Are Safe?

Have you ever wondered about the safety of the dietary supplements (pill, powder or fluid) you are taking?

Check out the "Generally Regarded As Safe" (GRAS) list published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Also, consult with your doctor and always follow the instructions on the label when taking any dietary supplement. There are no guarantees but you are smart to do as much research as possible.

Avoid The Osteoporosis Pill

The best way to avoid osteoporosis, and the pill, is to do weight-bearing exercises that cause your bones to remain healthy while increasing density.

You're not too young or old to start some kind of weight-bearing exercise (this includes body weight exercises). Exercises like squats, lunges, bench press, biceps curls, leg curls, etc. can be done with little or no weight.

Note to bikers and swimmers---you also need to do weight-bearing exercises because biking and swimming does not place enough stress on the bones to allow sufficient regeneration and increased density.

Safe Weight Loss

It is safe to lose about 2 pounds per week as a part of your exercise program.

At the beginning of your program, you might lose more weight and then level off in later weeks. So, if you want to lose 30 pounds the right way, then expect it to take about 15 weeks.

Your genetic makeup and adherence to your nutrition plan are two factors that could increase/decrease this time frame. What is the right way to exercise? A combination of cardio exercise (2-3 days a week) and resistance training (at least 3 days a week) is a proven effective permanent weight loss tandem.

Resistance training will cause the majority of your weight loss to be fat-mass loss (increasing muscle mass at the same time) and it will also speed up your metabolism. A general full body strength exercise program will keep the weight off permanently.

More On The Core

Core Training Should Be a Part of Every Workout--30% to 40% of Work-Related Injuries Involve Core Muscles (such as low back pain). Low Back Pain Affects Nearly 85% of All Adults.


You should always do full body strength training which will include core work. Full body strength training will also burn the most fat from your body.

You don't have to do 1000 crunches. Really, you concentrate on core exercises like ab curl ups, planks, bridges, cobras, mountain climbers and back extensions.

Include more core work in your workouts!
