There are all those people who are meal skippers and dieters. If we miss one-third of our daily nutrition by skipping breakfast and then piece on junk food for lunch, it is impossible to make up for the loss at the end of the day with a big supper. Food supplements help bridge the gap left by poor eating habits and skipped meals. This is not to say that supplements will take the place of food. But if a meal is skipped, or junk food is substituted for a nutritious meal, additional vitamins and minerals help supply what is missing, and maintain a measure of health in spite of our carelessness.
Restaurant eating and fast foods
Some of us eat many of our meals in restaurants. "Eating out" ranges from just a social occasion for some, to a regular source of meals for others. Restaurant food is notorious for its lack of nutrition, refined foods, high fat, and salt content.
Degenerative diseases
The three leading causes of illness and death are heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Many of these illnesses occur in the prime of life when we are the most productive, or in our golden years when we should be enjoying retirement and our grandchildren. Why is an apparently healthy person struck down by a degenerative disease like cancer or a heart attack?
One reason is because we fail to furnish our cells with the nutrients necessary to support their function at the exact time they are needed. Just to the extent that any cells are deprived of any nutrients, they are unable to carry on the processes of life. Every one of our trillions of cells is a manufacturing plant within itself. There is a stream of nutrients going in, generating an output of heat and energy. To be healthy and producctive, each cell must always have what it needs when it needs it, to carry on this process of life.
Degeneration takes place gradually over a period of years as we fail to give our cells the constant supply of nutrients which they need. Then -- almost suddenly it seems -- junk foods, skipped meals, and negleccted nutrition take their toll, and we are "struck down" with cancer, heart attack or some other disease. But it didn't really happen suddenly. It was actually building over a long period of time as we deprived our body of what it needed when it needed it.
By taking a good natural food supplement on a regular basis, we help correct these deficiencies by supplying what the cells need, when they need it. This prevents the slide into fatigue, pain, disability and early death that we see all around us. As a result, we feel better, have more energy, and enjoy life more.
What should I take?
With all the hundreds of supplement companies and brands on the market today, this is a daunting question. Companies making claims their product is natural, when in fact it has synthetics added to the "partially natural" ingredients. Some have even been tested to not contain any part of the claimed nutrient or ingredient. And furthermore, some have been tested to not dissolve at all, literally passing through your body, so your flushing your money & the supplements. Don't believe everything you read or hear about. Do a little research into the company, the brand, the product before you buy. When it comes to your health, isn't it worth a little time and effort to know what you're taking is actually what your getting.
Do you really need a Multi-Vitamin?
There is a "Health Evaluation Test" that will be posted in the next blog "Why Food Supplements? Part 3". Watch for this test, and see what your body is telling you it needs. Not what some marketing hype is claiming everyone needs. What food supplements should you be taking? The answer, of course, depends on your own particular needs. This test is an effective and revealing self analysis. It will help you see the areas where you are deficient.
