An interview with nutrition expert Doug Ingoldsby
We’re heading into the “sugar shock season” and soon we’ll be twitching from all the sugar pumping through our veins from Halloween to Thanksgiving pies to Christmas treats.
“Sugar consumption soars in November and December,” says nutrition expert Doug Ingoldsby. “It’s during this hectic time of the year that sensible eating habits – and good sense – often fly out the window.” (See also 150 ways sugar can ruin your health.) Continue reading
The life span of the average American has increased dramatically. The latest Census data reports that 35 million persons in the United States are over the age of 65 and that number is expected to grow to one in five persons over 65 by the end of 2011. Unfortunately, knowledge about the nutritional requirements to maintain good health and quality of life for this growing population is somewhat limited. The government RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) is the amount of vitamins, minerals and proteins believed to be needed by most people each day to not develop a disease from deficiency. It is largely considered the “standard.” There is NO specific RDA for a senior vitamin and mineral supplement. Continue reading
There is a new kind of famine sweeping through the nation. We are a nation that is overfed yet undernourished. Our bodies are starving. Why? For most, poor digestion means poor nutrient and vitamin absorption into the body. (See also previous post on nutrient absorption)
There are many socioeconomic and ecological reasons that are contributing to this state of affairs but there is one factor we as individuals can address: Our digestive health. This is a bodily function that has a direct bearing on everyone’s health status. Digestion has got to be one of the most overlooked yet highly taxed functions of the body, demanding an incredible collaboration between organs of all shapes and sizes. Continue reading
Studies show that proper nutrition will help your child perform better at school. In an ideal world your child would consume the recommended servings of vegetables and fruits each day. However, we all know that this isn’t always possible. As much as we wish it wasn’t so, children are picky eaters and their eating habits are often far from ideal. A high potency vitamin and mineral supplement can be a great way to fill in the nutritional gaps in your child’s diet. ALL ONE is here to help ensure your family is getting the highest quality nutrients in the right amounts to help achieve optimum health. The best kids vitamins are high quality and also easy to swallow, such as ALL ONE Kids.
Another challenge we are facing in optimizing our family’s daily diet is that our store-bought fruits and vegetables are often picked early, transported long distances and grown in mineral depleted soils. This is compounded by excessive processing, canning and even home cooking which can sap normally nutritious foods of their nutritional quality. White sugar and white bread are both examples of foods that are high in calories and low in vitamins and minerals. Many of the foods available at schools-whether through the lunch line or a vending machine-are far from nutritious. Unfortunately, our children are paying the price. This is why a high potency multiple vitamin and mineral supplement for kids especially is needed these days more than ever.
But how do you get a fussy eater to take a vitamin supplement? Many times it is difficult or impossible to get a child to swallow a pill, much less a handful of them that would be required to achieve the needed full range of vitamins and minerals. A high quality, easy to swallow multi vitamin and mineral powder such as ALL ONE Kids is the answer. You can mix ALL ONE in a smoothie or milkshake or even mask the flavor in their favorite drink (such as chocolate milk/almond/rice/soy). Also, if you are worried about allergies, ALL ONE is hypo-allergenic: it has no extra additives, flavorings or binders and is guaranteed free of yeast and gluten. ALL ONE is pure nutrition with no added sugar or sweeteners.
ALL ONE is the perfect way to help fill in the nutritional gaps in your child’s diet so you can rest assured they are getting the nutrients they need to stay focused and energetic at school and lead happy, healthy lives. Many parents find that after taking ALL ONE their children’s mood and ability to concentrate improved (see testimonial section below). Good nutrition starts at home so start your kids off on the right foot by taking the necessary steps to ensure proper nutrition for the whole family. By starting your children on a nutrition regime while they are young you are helping them to acquire healthy eating habits. With proper nutrition you are bound to notice a positive difference in the way you and your family feels. ALL ONE – Great for the Whole Family, and the best kids vitamins available.
ALL ONE Kids Vitamins is also Certified Vegan, using all natural highest quality ingredients.
“My brother was first diagnosed with ADHD last year. He is 7 years old and already spending more time outside of the classroom in trouble than in the classroom learning. My mom is always one to go the “natural” way whenever possible. So the family made some big dietary changes, which was a little helpful, but the one most impressive thing she did was feeding my brother a big smoothie every morning that contained ALL ONE Rice Formula and Flaxseed oil. Within a week of adding this to my brother’s regular, yet limited, diet we saw a drastic change in his ability to concentrate, settle down with others and just overall be a much more enjoyable person to be around. Since then the rest of the family have joined him with morning smoothies and we are all feeling great. Thank you. I feel that your great nutritional supplement has given my brother a chance at a normal and productive childhood and future.”

Problems such as eczema, dermatitis, acne, dry or oily, and wrinkly skin are a good indication that you are not eating optimally and/or are exposing your body to something it doesn’t like. Nutrient and vitamin deficiencies can often first be noticed in the skin. And when the body is over taxed it is again the skin that will be the classic indicator when enough is enough and relief must be sought.
The skin has two layers. The lower layer is called the dermis. This contains dermal cells from which all skin cells originate, plus a network of blood vessels, glands and nerve endings. The upper layer is called the epidermis, consisting of dermal cells in a protein called keratin.
The dermis consists largely of collagen, a kind of intercellular glue, which gives the skin strength and structure. Woven within elastin fibers, which give the skin elasticity. Collagen makes up 20% of the entire body and 70% of the skin. Continue reading
Medical experts have warned us of the health hazards risked by indiscriminate dieting and/or obesity: heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, kidney failure, gall bladder disorders, even cancer.

Pychodietetics sites a number of studies that were done looking at the connection between diet and mental wellness.
In one such study, Israeli researchers evaluated 10 psychiatric patients. Six of the ten had never had any emotional problems prior to their first attempt at rapid weight loss. There appeared to be a direct correlation between the severity of their mental condition and the speed and amount of weight the patient lost. The researchers concluded that there must be a considerable incidence of less serious and, therefore, unreported emotional disturbances caused by dieting. Continue reading
Psychodietetics: Why taking a high quality multiple vitamin and mineral supplement like ALL ONE is an important part of any weight management program.Over thirty years ago the role of nutrition in relation to health and well-being was only starting to come to light. The research was finally consistent enough that people started listening. One of the movers and shakers of the time was Dr. Cheraskin, who with Dr. Ringdorf and Arline Brecher wrote a book called Pychodietetics that pulled together much of the research of the time and presented the revolutionary idea that food/nutrition and mental/emotional wellness are connected.
