For most, the average duration is six months, for some hot flashes can last 25 years. Why is the big difference? What does this mean? Let's look at the facts: 1.

Nutritional Status of AmericansA nationwide survey of over 16,000 adults found that over 70 percent of people did not even meet two-thirds of the RDA for one or more nutrients. Large nutrition surveys show consistently that inadequate intakes of essential vitamins and minerals are common in the U.S. and other industrialized countries. The most common nutrient deficiencies appear to be for the antioxidant vitamins A and E, vitamin B6, the bone minerals calcium and magnesium, and the trace minerals iron, particularly for women and zinc. A large number of other studies document common nutrient deficiencies of vitamin D, B1, B2, B12, Folic Acid, calcium, magnesium, copper and chromium. These common deficiencies in vitamin and mineral can be attributed to the consumption of unbalanced diets that are low in fruits and vegetables and rich in energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods.Did You Know...?...Recent reports indicate Americans are chronically sleep deprived....Americans sleep 17% less than we used to 20 years ago ...Not enough sleep is associated with weight gain ? ...Not enough sleep is a major risk factor in developing Type II Diabetes ? ..Not enough sleep impairs cognitive function as much as drugs or alcohol? ...Over 30 causes have been associated with Insomnia ?
