Nature's Bin Reports Vitamins, Minerals Relieve Diabetic Nerve Pain
Nature’s Bin, a full-service natural foods market in Lakewood, reports a new study where people with chronic type 2 diabetes and nerve pain who took a vitamin and mineral supplement for four months had less severe pain compared to those who took a placebo.
The report is part of the September 2011 issue of Natural Insights for Well Being®, which Nature's Bin publishes free each month to help educate the Lakewood community about the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle and making simple, smart nutrition choices. In a related study in the September issue, men with type 2 diabetes who took the antioxidant resveratrol for four weeks better absorbed and used sugar circulating in the bloodstream. Other September studies include findings that older women who consumed the most vitamin D were more likely to have healthy vision, and discoveries that cells need vitamin A to transport energy, and that people who live to age 100 typically have vitamin A levels similar to young adults.
“Whether you are trying to maintain your health or become healthier, the latest research continues to confirm that affordable natural vitamins and supplements are safe and protective,” said Rhiannon Blahnik, Vitamin and Supplement Manager at Nature’s Bin. “The scientific journals [referenced] in our September issue include Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, Archives of Ophthalmology, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, and the Public Library of Science, among others.”
Natural Insights for Well Being® is free, and Nature's Bin invites all those who wish to gain more valuable nutrition knowledge to stop in and pick up the September issue.
