Hello Everyone,
I have been making exotic "smoothies" during the summer. Please try to eat correctly and alter your habits. I was just going over this data regarding "a healthy diet for your ears."
Diet for Good Hearing
Good nutrition is essential. Eat a diet that is low in saturated animal fat and refined carbohydrates and include plenty of cold-water fish (i.e. salmon, trout, albacore tuna, herring, mackerel, sardines, anchovies, etc.), whole grains, seeds, nuts, and fresh vegetables and fruits. Eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish, canola oil, soybeans, flaxseed, walnuts, and wheat germ. Omega-3's are essential fatty acids that our bodies cannot create without first obtaining them from food. The benefits of omega-3 fatty acids have been touted for years - with documented research. What has brought omega-3 into the spotlight in recent years, however, is the possible protective role in cardiovascular health. And better cardiovascular health means a healthy hearing function.
Vitamins A and E also support optimal hearing function. 3 Foods that contain vitamin A and E include: Liver, fish liver oils, eggs, carrots, nuts, wheat germ and dark-green leafy vegetables. Make sure that your diet contains plenty of fiber to prevent occasional constipation and keep the bowels clean. Drink 8 glasses of purified water per day. Ears are nourished by the body's blood supply. Fatty foods can change the blood supply to the ears. In some countries where people eat a vegetarian diet, the people were found to have better hearing even when they were quite old. This is not true in our country. Researchers believe this may be due to our "junk food" eating habits and noisy surroundings. In some cases, hearing may be improved by reducing salt, which can cause fluids to be retained in the ear. And take HearAll nutritional supplement daily to support optimal hearing function and acuity.*
Science for Hearing Support
For many years, hearing aids have been the primary means of gathering sound and enriching the lives of people experiencing hearing concerns. But recently scientists have discovered nutritional ingredients and formulas that help support optimal auditory function and maintain hearing acuity. The latest research studies illustrate how to:
Support optimal hearing and hearing cell function 4, 5
Provide specific nutrients for the auditory system
Promote circulation to the auditory system 6
Sharpen auditory sensitivity and promote cochlear ear function 7
Protect hearing cells from free-radical damage and maintain longevity 8, 9, 10, 11

Folic Acid supports energy production in hearing cells, and promotes circulation to ears* 13
Folic Acid Prevents Age-Related Hearing Loss NEW
Vitamin B-12 (Methyl cobalamin) aids in cell formation and cellular health, and helps support nerve function* 14, 15, 16
Magnesium supports healthy nerve function in the auditory system and protects the arterial linings from physical stress* 17, 18, 19
Zinc is an essential mineral that supports immune system function and protect hair cells in the ear* 20

Vinpocetine (Periwinkle Herb Extract) supports increased auditory and cerebral blood flow, promotes use of oxygen, and protects against free-radical damage* 28, 29, 30
Coenzyme Q10 a powerful antioxidant that may help maintain circulation to the ears, support energy production in hearing cells, and CoQ10 protects against free-radical damage* 31, 32, 33
Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful fat/water soluble antioxidant that protects against free-radical damage, supports nerve system function, and plays an essential role in generating mitochondria in the hair cells of the inner ear* 34, 35, 36, 37
Betaine helps make nutrients more absorbable by the body*
Eat healthy and feel better too..........
