Pharmacist Ben Fuchs discussed natural health remedies and the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals our bodies need to maintain good health. He was critical of a recent study on the effects of intermittent fasting, which connected the practice to an increased risk of cardiovascular problems. Fuchs said the study was faulty because it didn't consider what people were eating, just when they did. Micronutrients and supplements can be more important than calories, he added. He connected the problem of tinnitus (ear ringing) to inflammation in the body and gut health issues.

Fuchs suggested that nutritional supplements, not herbs, are most effective for blood sugar control, particularly B vitamins, chromium, and vanadium, as well as selenium and MSM. "All of these not only support insulin," but they also help the body process sugar on its own, he noted. Eating an assortment of different colored fruits and vegetables brings in a variety of nutrients and protects the skin from the sun, he commented. He also recommended whey protein mix for both athletes and older people, as it contains factors that build up the immune system and the body's strength.
