FOOD FOR YOU

SUPPLEMENTS

There is a lot of controversy about supplements, the main one being should we take them or not. if you are eating a healthy diet then shouldn't you be able to get everything you need from food? Surely we were not designed to consume supplements, they certainly don't grow on trees.

When trying to decide whether to take them or not we need to look at the quality of the food we consume. Most of our fruits and vegetables are grown on mineral deficient soils which have been ruined by over farming and the use of inadequate fertilisers. Our food cannot be rich in minerals if the soil they are grown in is lacking in them.

If we go on to think about our life styles and our environment then we should consider all the extra toxins we are exposed to. Exhaust fumes, industrial fumes, additives in our food, products we expose our skin to etc etc. Our bodies have to try to eliminate these unwanted items and to do so need extra minerals and vitamins. Even if our food contained the amounts they should do, would that be enough to meet our increasing demands for them.

Then we need to assess our health. After considering the above we are likely to believe that food can not provide all the nutrients we need, even if we were in really tip top condition. But if we are under par in any way and especially if we suffer from stress or a long term chronic illness or ill health, we will be under extra strain and need even higher amounts of minerals and vitamins to enable our body to try and repair itself.

Having made the decision to take extra nutrients we are faced with the enormous problem of what to take. Do the products we eventually chose deliver what they say or are we wasting our money.
