The Importance of Health & Well-being through Nutritional Supplementation
What is good health? Good health is simply the absence of disease. If this definition holds true, then almost all of us could not qualify for €good health€ in the long run. This is because as we get older, we develop long-term illnesses such as hypertension, high blood pressure and heart disease.
Many of us wonder why this is so; why we fall prey to a lot of diseases as we get older. This is because our body slows down its metabolism as we grow older. As a result, we are overloaded with toxins and waste products which we could not eliminate due to a slower metabolism and gradual failure of our organ systems.
A slow metabolism is caused by improper nutrition and lack of exercise. We are surrounded with automated devices which cause us to become lazy. We watch too much television, we stare for long hours in the computer screen; we load our refrigerators with microwaveable food and our cupboards with canned and heavily-processed food. We are too lazy to walk to our offices, too lazy to go out and take a walk, too lazy to cook nutritious food, too lazy to go to the market and buy fruits and vegetables.
Little do we know that all these things kill us day by day. Lack of exercise slows down our metabolism and makes us accumulate fat in our abdomens. We continually eat heavily-processed food containing polyamines, too much salt and other dangerous chemical by-products of heating plastics and metals.
We age early. We accumulate these waste products and toxins in our bodies and our organs get overworked and later on, fail. As a result, our immune system fails us and we fall prey to a lot of diseases. We turn to prescription drugs which add toxins and poisons to our bodies. Our body fails, we develop long term diseases and we do not survive for a long time.
Our modern lives have many demands. We need to work in order to survive. We want to give our best to our families and loved ones. We want to live comfortably in wealth. We know that we need to shop for healthy food and that we need to eat nutritious fruits and vegetables daily. But what can we do? We work too hard because of our commitments. We want to earn money and survive so we work hard. We have limited time to prepare healthy food.
It is in this context that we may say that we are in bad need of nutritional supplementation. But why, you may ask.
First of all, unhealthy lifestyles brought about by the economic crisis are enough to deprive us of much-needed nutrients. If we have any nutritional deficiencies, we could easily succumb to illnesses. Nutritional supplements that contain important vitamins, minerals, nutrients, herbs and other elements could strengthen your immune system.
Doctors and even the FDA will agree that certain populations need daily nutritional supplementation. These special groups of people include the elderly, young children, pregnant women, women of reproductive age, people with medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, heart problems, and high cholesterol; people who are taking medicines long-term and those who are constantly dealing with stress. Thus it seems everyone needs nutritional supplementation.
Of course, nutritional supplements are not a substitute to a healthy balanced diet. Still, ideally, we need to eat from the basic food groups everyday. Unfortunately, because of this economic crisis we are in, we lack the time to prepare and cook these foods. Thus, to most of us, quality nutritional supplements hold the answer.
An ideal diet should be a diet that utilizes all basic food groups and uses organically-grown fruits and vegetables. However, even our fruits and vegetables in the market are not processed healthily. Our fruits and vegetables are a result of over farming, of methods which use pesticides with harmful chemicals; of methods that utilize nitrogen and artificial fertilizers that poison us; and of genetic modification which makes food look good but strip it of important nutrients. Even if we take the time to prepare and cook healthy food, we will still not achieve best results for our health.
Secondly, it is not only the food that we eat that destroys us; even our environment kills us. Our sky, our water and our earth is polluted. Our fish may contain mercury and other dangerous chemicals. Groundwater contains chemicals from garbage and industrial wastes. The air that we breathe is filled with smoke, smog and poisonous gases. Our bodies have no choice but to take in these toxins from the environment.
It is said that certain substances known as anti-oxidants can turn free radicals and toxins into safe compounds which can be excreted by the body easily. These anti-oxidants are vitamins such as Vitamin C, E, D and B complex; enzymes such as coenzyme Q and essential fatty acids from vegetables, fruits and fishes. These anti-oxidants are provided by nutritional supplements. The anti-oxidants in natural supplements can protect the body from damage and stress.
Not all natural supplements are the same. Some natural supplements are not complete. You cannot achieve maximum benefit from those. Also, there are some nutritional supplements which contain synthetic vitamins and minerals. Synthetic nutrients cannot be used up by the body because the body can only metabolize naturally-prepared vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
In choosing a nutritional supplement, you should make sure that the supplement contains an effective combination of vitamins, minerals and nutrients that act in harmony with each other. An incorrect combination could turn into poison and wreck your health. You should choose a supplement with natural ingredients and make sure that it contains the essential nutrients needed by the body.
