User Post: 4 Dietary Supplements Worth Taking

By Matt Johnson - DietsInReview.com

Supplements seem to be all the rage amongst dieters and health enthusiasts. Although certain supplements can add to our lives, eating a balanced diet is the best way to attain all the vitamins and minerals necessary for a healthy lifestyle. Here are four beneficial supplements that may help you and your body.


1. Fish Oil. Contains Omega-3 fatty acids, which has been proven to lower blood pressure and triglycerides, slows the development of plaque in the arteries, and reduces the risk of heart disease.

2. Glucosamine. Ideal for those suffering from osteoarthritis (joint pain). For runners this can help help prevent future pain or joint problems.

3. Glutamine. For weight lifters, glutamine can help maintain cell volume and hydration, helps to repair the muscles broken down when lifting, and helps with muscle aches. Glutamine has been proven to help cure ulcers and benefit the immune system.

4. Green Tea. This popular supplement is known for providing users with energy, but it also has several other positive benefits. Green tea is a powerful antioxidant that may reduce the risk of cancer, arthritis, heart disease and even infection. Some studies have found that it may even prevent tooth decay and food poisoning.
