NUTRITION AND HEALTH

Dr. Cranton's recommends that every health, healing, and longevity program include a close examining what you have been putting into your body: What have you been breathing in the air? What drugs have you been taking (prescription and non-prescription)? What have you been eating?

Experience shows that a healthy diet and lifestyle will have a beneficial effect on chronic health problems. It is well known that a proper diet will help normalize blood sugar, aid in weight loss, and improve quality of life. Better diet can result in more energy, clearer thinking, an improved immune response, and faster healing.

A thorough medical evaluation should include questions about lifestyle, diet, and medication. This information can be incorporated into a personal nutrition program based on current health and goals for the future, using a combination of the following:

ANTI-FREE RADICAL DIET

Dr. Cranton's diet program promotes longevity and prevents disease. The pro-longevity, anti-free radical diet incorporates many health-promoting features of other popular diets, while eliminating fads and unscientific nonsense.

NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS

As documented on the links below, a scientifically balanced regimen of nutritional supplementation can do much to prevent illness. This regimen should include vitamins E, C, B1, B2 B3, B6, B12, PABA, beta carotene, and coenzyme Q10, and other supplemental nutrients. A balanced program of mineral and trace element supplements will also include calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, selenium, manganese, vanadium, and chromium. Dr. Cranton's

PrimeNutrients^TM multiple vitamin, mineral, trace element formula will provides a balanced foundation, all in one bottle and at reasonable cost. Dr. Cranton's AntioxPackets^TM provide a much more complete regimen at additional cost , and is recommended as the foundation of any comprehensive anti-aging and preventive medicine program-- especially for symptomatic and elderly patients. That is what Dr. Cranton and his family take daily.

DESTRUCTIVE HABITS

It is very important to eliminate the use of tobacco in any form. That applies to cigarettes, pipe tobacco, cigars, snuff and chewing tobacco―even second hand smoke. Patients who continue to use tobacco consistently experience less improvement and for a shorter time from any health or preventive medicine program, in comparison to non-smokers.

Relatively healthy adults may tolerate and perhaps even benefit from moderate use of alcoholic beverages. Prudent use seems not to generate more free radicals than can be detoxified. Anyone who drinks excessive alcoholic beverages will suffer harmful free radical damage. Those who suffer with chronic degenerative disease should minimize their use of alcohol.

EXERCISE

Sustained physical exercise is very helpful. Use it or lose it, as they say. Even a brisk 45-minute walk several times per week will help greatly to maintain health and well being. Benefits of exercise can include stress relief, improved circulation, improved blood pressure, increased energy, decreased anxiety, improved sleep, improved bowel habits, improved digestion, and weight loss. Health care professionals should work with you to design an individual exercise plan within your physical limitations, based on your abilities and goals.
