Nutritional Supplements - Should you take them?
In a perfect world we would get all the nutritional supplements (vitamins, minerals and nutrients) we need for optimal health from the food we eat. We would eat lots and lots of fresh organic fruits and vegetables, healthy fats and lean proteins. We would not consume unhealthy fats, trans-fats, hormone laced dairy and meats, or highly processed artificially flavored chemical ridden food products. We would never skip a meal, always refrain from sugary snacks, get lots of rest, and never be stressed. We would drink pure water and breathe clean air and would glow with good health! Studies show that many of us don’t even get the minimal daily requirement of many of these important nutrients. Even with a well balanced diet, it is difficult to reach the advanced levels of nutrients modern science has shown to promote optimal health.* According to the American Medical Association, "Insufficient vitamin intake is apparently a cause of chronic diseases…Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone. Pending strong evidence of effectiveness from randomized trials, it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements." Why we need vitamin and mineral nutritional supplements?
