Why Take Nutritional Supplements?
the importance of a balanced diet with nutrient-dense foods and ample physical activity for a health-promoting lifestyle. However, most people in the United States do not consume sufficient quantities of quality nutrients. The standard American diet is filled with refined sugars, highly processed carbohydrates, artificial flavorings, and food additives, which can create a great burden to the immune system and cause interferences in the nervous system.
To combat these nutrient deficiencies, a comprehensive whole food supplement can be useful for filling in gaps in the diet. Many whole foods are exposed to run-off water with pesticides, and the soil has been depleted by over-farming, leading to a need for supplementation. Additionally, many medications interfere with proper nutrient absorption, which furthers the need for supplementation.
Evidence suggests that supplements such as multivitamins, calcium and vitamins B, C and D can enhance health in different ways. Calcium supports bone health, and vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium. Vitamins C and E are antioxidants — molecules that prevent cell damage and help to maintain health.
