Food supplements are a topic under debate at all times. With growing awareness about their importance and how they work a lot of opinions have been changed in their favor. There are plenty of arguments that support the use of quality, FDA approved supplements. Some of these are discussed below. Food Irradiation: It is the technique to delay the ripening of foods to increase their shelf life. Due to an exposure to radiation, the food is often depleted of key nutrients like vitamins and oxidants. This does not only affect vegetables but also chicken and meat. Environmental Pollution: We have all heard of environmental pollution and how big an issue for distress it has become for millions of people across the globe. The wastes from rapidly growing factories is released into seas and oceans or burned in dumps thus polluting air and water. This in turn affects the food sources available to us through these mediums. This necessitates the need to take supplements to detoxify our bodies and boost our immune system in fighting against pollutants in our foods. Lifestyle: The stagnant and unhealthy lifestyle of most people today has led to the increased importance of dietary supplements. Smoking (even passive), alcohol abuse and other factors destroy our health. These don't allow important nutrients to get absorbed by our bodies and destroy certain types of vitamins taken through a regular diet. This makes it necessary for people to take supplements in order to stay healthy. Pregnant women need extra supply of nutrients to ensure a balanced supply both to the baby and themselves. Stress: Stress has become a part of our daily lives. Those who claim they are stress-free should look at these symptoms: exhaustion, depression, trouble sleeping, poor appetite. You suffer from one or more of these and still think you are not stressed! Certain kinds of supplements help in lowering the effects of stress. Food Processing: Majority of food available at supermarkets are processed or synthetically prepared. As these are not fresh therefore they lack in the required amount of nutrients as compared to their counterparts. Live enzymes, that are so important for the digestive process of foods, are missing from processed food. Also, processed foods are packed with excess salt and fat, added sugar, as well as chemicals which of course have an extremely negative effect on our health. Soil Depletion: The excessive use of harmful pesticides, indulgence in hard line farming and, acid rains has led to this phenomenon. The key nutrients occurring in soil are diminished due to the activities mentioned. Therefore, the basic reason why consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables was so stressed, that is, important vitamins and minerals, is greatly depleted. |
