Women: Common vitamins won't help your hearts

Now that many of us are under pressure to make our lifestyles healthier, many will opt for what they believe quick-fixes to their unhealthy habits, rather than making the effort to completely overhaul their lives. I think the increased use to vitamins is evidence of this -- rather than trade in french fries for 5-10 servings of fruits and veggies a day, people seem to instead opt to get their nutrients in pill form.

Vitamins can be beneficial in people who already have a healthy lifestyle but it's not a substitute for healthy habits. Take these findings for instance -- new studies show that taking common vitamins does little to promote heart health in women, whereas eating fruits and veggies high in vitamin C, E and Beta Carotene on a daily basis can help your ticker.

There are no quick fixes. Take control of your health today -- it's worth it!

Reduce your cholesterol with help from this Milk

Some types of milk are considered bad for people with high cholesterol. But Supermarket giant Kroger is coming out with a new brand of milk that can actually reduce your cholesterol. The non-fat brand is part of the Active Lifestyle Brand, and contains plant sterols that have been proven to lower bad cholesterol by up to 15 percent.

Right now, elevated cholesterol is one of the top health dangers in the USA, and this if only going to become more exaggerated as the baby boomer generation hits old age. This milk offers heart patients a healthy way to get their calcium, plus vitamins A, C and D without consuming saturated fat.
