Nutritional Supplements

Our bodies have the incredible ability to heal themselves to keep us healthy; however without the proper nutrition, those functions will begin to fail. We know that obesity and lack of nutrition are factors in many health problems.

When we give our body the nutrition it needs, such as vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, the right amount of healthy and natural protein, carbs, and fats, etc. it will be able to work more efficiently than if we deprived it of those nutrients. It would be like trying to run a car without gasoline - our bodies need nutrients to run well.

There are many reasons why it is beneficial to take a nutritional supplement, mainly because we do not receive the required daily amount of vitamins and minerals through our food. When food is processed, cooked, and preservatives are added, it depletes the nutrients from it. A lot of food is also shipped for long distances which can also result in lack nutrients. Many fruits and vegetables are harvest early (green-harvesting) or are genetically bred which leads to less nutrition and commercial agricultural use soil that is deficient in many important minerals. Other factors why we need more nutrients is the increasing pollution in our air and water, causing our bodies to use more nutrients. Also, some medicines people take can deplete essential nutrients from their system. For some people who have weaker immune systems or other health challenges, they will need more nutrients than what the food they eat can give them.

It is no surprise that whole, and natural foods are better for our bodies than processed foods. If you eat healthy, you are on the right track, yet due to our environment, it is wise to take a nutritional supplement to ensure that your bodies has all that it needs to stay healthy and function properly.
