Sad news.

My Aunt Bette in Australia recently suffered a serious stroke and because of this I’ve decided to discuss the subject of stroke in todays entry.

[tag-tec]Heart disease[/tag-tec]/strokes are the biggest cause of death and disability in the western world yet not many people seem to be aware of how to recognize the (often subtle) symptoms of [tag-ice]stroke[/tag-ice] and the importance of quick follow-up action.

There seems to be a widely held view that when someone has a stroke it will be highly obvious and the sufferer will experience significant pain and suffering. This is not the case.

I suspect that much of the population confuses a stroke with a serious heart attack.

In my last entry I talked about the term ‘natural’ in relation to nutritional supplements and then made some comments on a whole food multivitamin supplement which a reader asked me about.

This particular supplement was marketed in a very clever way to stress the importance of taking only a natural supplement with natural “whole food” ingredients.

If you read my comments you will see that product is nowhere near as good as it claims to be and because of the huge amount of vitamin C it contains it offers consumers very poor value for money. And some of the “whole food sourced” ingredients it promotes actually do not occur naturally so there’s a nice example of bending the truth to say the least.

Today I thought I would stay with this ‘whole food’ theme.

Any return visitors to nutritional-supplement-truths.com will see that there is a large scale site reconstruction going on.

Everything is being completely revamped with a new format, design, color scheme, interactive pages, new content and some revision of existing content. It’s all being jazzed up!

I’m doing ALL of this myself and since my HTML and CSS knowledge is somewhat limited it’s taking far longer than expected to get all those changes displaying in your browser exactly the way I want.

Anyway for those that saw the old site I’m sure you’ll agree that the new design is far better and easier to move through.

The reason I’m mentioning this is to let you know that because of all this additional work my blog will only be updated 1 to 2 times a week for the coming months (or until it’s all finished).

So I hope you will bear with me and continue to read the juicy supplement and [tag-ice]health[/tag-ice] truths that I have in store for you.

Today’s entry explains the word “natural” as applied to [tag-ice]nutritional supplements[/tag-ice]
