Why The Need For Nutritional Supplements?

 

Malnutrition?

How could there be malnutrition in this day and age of high tech and modern
scientific research?

Since the United States produces more nutritional products than all the other countries combined, why is it that the United States Ranks #l in degenerative diseases?

Something to think about. 

Your food should supply you with everything that you need to maintain optimal health.

But with our soils depleted with the essential minerals and the advent of modern technology and chemicals to increase production your foods do not supply you with the vital important nutrients your body requires to maintain optimal health.

Two recent studies reported that our fresh fruits and vegetables are lower in certain vitamins and minerals today than they were as little as 30 years ago. One analysis compared levels of 7 vitamins and minerals  found in 25 common fruits and vegetables between 1951 and 1999. Overall, nutrient losses far exceeded nutrient gains.  Of particular concern were losses in foods that are reported to be good sources of a particular nutrient. These include broccoli  ( calcium, riboflavin, vitamin A, and vitamin C ), spinach ( riboflavin and vitamin A ), and potatoes, cauliflower, strawberries, tomatoes, and green peppers ( vitamin C ). Whereas one serving of broccoli would have supplied more than the current RDA of vitamin A for adult males in 1951, one would have to eat more than two servings today to obtain the same amount of vitamin A. Two peaches would have supplied the current RDA of vitamin A for adult women in 1951. Today, a woman would have to eat almost 53 peaches to meet her daily requirements! Another study compared data collected in 1930 and 1980 for 8 minerals in 40 fruits and vegetables. The author reported significant losses of calcium, magnesium, copper and sodium in vegetables, and magnesium, iron, copper and potassium in fruits. The foods were also significantly higher in water and lower in dry matter (e.g., fiber ) content.     

Even in 1936 the Senate issued a report that America’s farm soils were depleted of the vital minerals and trace minerals, resulting in our foods, (fruits, vegetables and grains) being void of the nutrients to keep us healthy - no matter how much we eat...

The Reason:
One of the areas of great concern is our
topsoil.

  • Over the years our soils has been depleted of the important essential minerals due to continued growing of crops and misuse of our lands.  Instead of replacing our soils with minerals, chemicals are being put into the soil to make them better looking to the human eye and as far as the nutritional benefits are concerned they only have a fraction as compared to years ago.

  • As more and more chemicals and fertilizers are being introduced into our soils, they destroy the microbial life, which are necessary to reduce the minerals in our soils to a form that plants could absorb.  The microbes in the soil secrete the enzymes necessary to dissolve the minerals into an ionic state so plants can take them in.

So… no Microbes… no Minerals

To make matters worse! The food manufacturers refine out most of the remaining nutritional ingredients from the produce compound this problem.

To give you a good example:

Take the manufacturing of white bread. The food companies take the whole grain cereal and then through their procedure of processing remove the germ and bran, that contains the vitamins, from the grain. Since these parts contain the vitamins, you are now left with just the starch. Over thirty known vitamin and mineral nutrients are removed in this refining process.

Did you know that your body requires over 90 nutrients in order for you to stay healthy?  Yet the agricultural industry continues to supplement the soils with NKP (nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous) and in their minds that is sufficient.  Where will the other 80+ nutrients come from to keep you healthy?  

It’s no wonder that the various degenerative diseases that so many of us Americans are inflicted with, continues to increase each year.

It is said that most of the degenerative diseases are caused from mineral and vitamin deficiencies and most chronic diseases can be traced to nutritional deficiencies.  

Sure, Prescription drugs and Over-The-Counter medications can relieve us of the symptoms of our medical problem but while relieving us of discomfort and pain, they also prevent absorption or deplete your body of the essential vitamins and minerals.  

Your body cannot make minerals and plants cannot make minerals.

The only way minerals can be absorbed by plants is if they are in an ionic state and the microbes in the soil transform the minerals into an ionic state.  

With this in mind, the only way you will get the sufficient amount of nutrients to live a healthy life is to add a nutritional supplement to your diet.  

The Solution?

The answer is whole food supplements. In fact, when you consider nutrition, look for whole foods that are nutrient dense which are loaded with glyconutrients, antioxidants and phytochemicals and minerals.  

Glyconutrients provide the sugars (not your typical white sugar we all know) that are beneficial to your well-being, the mono-saccharides that your body uses for cells to communicate.  Glyconutritionals. recently identified as essential for good human health, address the fundamental structure of the body, .  

Antioxidants are a group of elements, including vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other substances like phytochemicals that counteracts the process of oxidation in our bodies. Oxidation causes oxidative depletion which increases cell dysfunction or causes cell death and phytochemicals work with antioxidants by aiding the cell's own reparative functions.  They also protect us from toxic chemicals in the environment by deactivating them.

The answer is not about taking just any old vitamin supplement, but taking nutrients from whole food nutritional concentrates that replace what you should have been receiving from your food in the first place!

In order for your body to absorb and get any benefit from vitamins, minerals are needed.  Without minerals, vitamins are not properly absorbed and are rapidly eliminated from your body.  

For example
Did you know that diabetes or hypoglycemia involves chromium, zinc and vanadium deficiencies?  We all know osteoporosis is a calcium deficiency, but did you know  your body also requires magnesium, boron and Vitamin D in order to utilize calcium?

As building blocks of all living things, minerals are the most important nutrients for maximum health.  For optimal health over 80 minerals are required.  Every cell in your body depends on minerals for proper structure and function.  Minerals are vital and function as co-enzymes in order for your body to perform its function including energy production, growth and healing.

The many functions of minerals include the:

  • Formation of blood and bones

  • The proper composition of body fluids

  • Healthy nerve function

  • Proper operation of the cardiovascular system

  • Many other critical and essential functions

You should be getting the message by now that without minerals, vitamins are useless.

Don’t get the wrong message though; vitamins are essential for optimal health also.

Keeping your body in balance is the key.
The critical key to optimal health is taking vitamins and nutrients in the right proportions.

Well it seems the AMA has finally come to the conclusion that "mother knows best" and admits that mothers advice is right - "You DO need to take your vitamins."
