There are too many reasons--and excuses--to list that make it very hard to get the right nutrition these days. Fortunately, whole food supplements are an excellent means of making up for a lack in diet.
Whether you’re too busy, too confused, or too lazy to prepare meals for yourself and your family that provide the balanced nutrition necessary for health, vitality, and remaining youthful, you know you could be doing better. Odds are good you really want to be doing better too, but just aren’t certain how.
The way it seems that we all start in trying to make up for nutritional deficits in our diets is by taking supplements. If we aren’t getting vitamins and minerals through our foods, getting them some way is better than not at all is the reasoning.
This is reasonable, as far as it goes. The next problem arises when we realize--if we realize--that many or most or some of the supplements on the market don’t actually contain what they say they do. There’s no real way of knowing unless the company has been rated as such. Look around, most aren’t.
Even if the store shelves were stocked entirely with supplements that possess the nutrients their labels claim, the next problem is origin. Do the vitamins and nutrients in the bottle come from whole foods, using science that makes sure the product will work with your body, or do they come from tests tubes without any guarantee that your body will process or pass them right through? It’s important to find whole food supplements, so that you’re actually doing the good you think you are.
