Why Should You Take Natural Nutrition?
"Why can't I just take a vitamin pill?" How many thousands of times have I heard this question? It's not surprising the people are confused on the issue of vitamin pills.
The vitamin pill manufacturers spend veritable fortunes convincing us that a pill is just as good, if not better, a source of nutrition as food.
And who wouldn't want to believe them? You don't have to shop frequently for pills.
They don't take up much room.
You don't have to wash or chop or stir-fry or sauté them.
But the fact is, vitamin pills have virtually no real role in achieving natural nutrition.
Did you know, for example, that most of those reports you hear about that demonstrate that vitamin A or vitamin C can cure or mitigate the effects of this or that disease do not rely on pills, but rather on food, as a source of the vitamin? Many people hear about research that promises to help their arthritis, PMS, or whatever, and begin to dose themselves on whatever vitamin or mineral was cited as the cure.
But frequently, pills had nothing to do with the reported results.
This is just one misconception about vitamins.
Actually there are other, even more compelling reasons for relying on natural nutrition, or fuel from food.
One of the cornerstones of Nutripoints is that pills are not a substitute for food.
Let's take a look at some of the draw-backs of vitamin supplementation: -Even the best vitamins are incomplete.
-Even the best vitamins are not perfectly balanced, some are dangerously unbalanced.
-Vitamins can be toxic -Vitamin supplementation can alter your chemistry.
