Natural ways to support good hearing
2009-10-22

Do you feel like your hearing‘s just not as sharp as it once was? Well, you‘re not alone. About 36 million men and women suffer from age-related hearing loss.

Well, before you order an uncomfortable and costly hearing device, listen to this new discovery: One of the most common vitamins on earth may help maintain hearing in older men! The trick is, you have to get plenty of it.

Good news for spinach eaters...

The study looked at 3,500 cases of men with hearing loss. Researchers asked the men about the kinds of foods they ate and the supplements they took on a regular basis. They found that men over 60 with the highest intake of folate from foods and supplements reduced their risk of developing age-related hearing loss by 20 percent.

It‘s easy to get more folate into your diet. It‘s a water-soluble B vitamin found in foods like spinach, broccoli, asparagus, liver, and great Northern beans. Food manufactures also add folic acid to breads and cereals. But I wouldn‘t count on those "enriched" foods for anything.

Go straight for the real stuff. And if you don‘t find you‘re eating enough naturally folate-rich foods, you can always take a folic acid supplement.

A word of caution...

Some prescription medications used to control diabetes, Crohn‘s disease, and rheumatoid arthritis interfere with your body‘s absorption of folate. So if you‘re taking medication for one of these conditions, be sure to ask your doctor about adding a folic acid supplement to your regimen.

Alcohol also interferes with your body‘s absorption of folate. So if you‘re a regular drinker and suffer from hearing loss, my best advice is to cut way back. And add some folic acid to your regimen.

Lastly, NorthStar Nutritionals has a product called VitaEar that contains 200 mcg folic acid as well as 14 other ingredients to help support your hearing and prevent nutritional deficiencies.
