Supplementing Your Body

Folks, what I am going to tell you may educate you more about nutritional value that your bodies need on a daily basis. Our bodies rely on intake of vitamins and minerals because of the lack of nutrition found in the foods we consume today, and here is why:Studies have shown that more and more deficiencies are found in an alarming number of people today more than ever and this is becoming an epidemic just as obesity already is here in America. The number one reason why people visit the doctors today are because they are fatigued and have little or no energy. Because of this ongoing problem, we cannot rely on the foods consumed because they don't have the necessary minerals that our body requires in order to function properly which is why we need to supplement.1. Over 85% of Americans suffer from mineral deficiencies, which allow our bodies immune system to not function properly, therefore depleting the bodies natural defenses which help fight off viruses, high blood pressure, cancer, heart attacks, kidney failure and other diseases. The least we can do is to supplement daily with a Multivitamin. A Multivitamin will prolong your health as long as you take them daily for the rest of your life. Now Multivitamins are not a cure-all but more of an enhancement of your immune system which we all need to include in our daily consumption of vitamins.2. Fruits and Vegetables are very important in our Diet and according to the USDA, we need about 2-4 servings of fruit and 3-5 serving of vegetables daily. It is very important that we get our proper intake of fruits and vegetables because it provides our bodies with phytonutrients which serve as antioxidants and promotes human health of course. It also enhances the immune system and repairs DNA damage which are caused by smoking or other toxic inhalants. According to epidemiological studies, researchers have found that consumption of fruits and vegetables are linked to a decrease in strokes and heart attacks. Studies also show increased reduction in the risk of cancer due to proper diet that included fruits and vegetables.Now it's always best to consume fruits and vegetables when they are freshest, but we simply cannot rely on them to give us what we need since most of us live in cites and suburbs far away from a local farmer. The fact is fruits and vegetables lose their nutritional value when stored for long periods of time and do not deliver the vital nutrients we need. Fortunately we are able to supplement with tablets that support the optimal health and vitality of our organs. It is very important and recommended that you supplement with phytonutrients unless you take in the required amount of fruits and vegetables daily.3. One of the most essential compounds that we need a daily intake of, are proteins. Our bodies rely on the consumption of proteins that are broken down into amino acids to help maintain muscle, bones, blood, and the body organs. We can obtain proteins from eating certain foods likefish, eggs, poultry, nuts, beef and some others. If you are eating a balanced Diet, then more than likely you will be getting plenty of your required intake. Some may not get all that they should be getting and like others, many supplement with protein shakes. If you are trying to gain muscle or convert fat into muscle, most body builders will supplement before, during, and definitely post workout. Mainly after working out will they drink a protein shake or consume high protein foods in order to repair muscle tissue that have been worked.The information provided are merely just opinions and recommendations on what one person should take in on a daily basis in addition to maintaining a healthy diet and workout regimen. One can supplement using the information provided above, but do consult a physician or doctor for more information on additional supplementation since everybody's physical chemistry is different from others.
