Vitamins and Health Supplements

The addition of vitamins and health supplements into your daily diet regimen is smart... VERY smart, especially taking into consideration the fact that most of us eat a diet consisting primarily of cooked, processed, dead food.

Burgers, fries, hot dogs, pizza, double beef burritos, etc., combined with our addiction to soda, chips, candy, alcohol, and other unhealthy non-foods are making us fat, diabetic, sick, and dead.

And for those of us who do eat the good stuff, i.e. vegetables, healthy fats & oils, whole grains, raw seeds & nuts, fruits, beans, and fish, among other natural foods, how many of us do so ALL the time, at EVERY meal? Very few.

And even then, how much of our food is organic? How much of the soil these foods are grown in is well cultivated, nutrient-rich, and chemical-free?

As you can see, there are too many variables left to consider. Most of us just want to enjoy our meals and get on with our lives. But to know how to acquire the nutrition our bodies need solely from our current food supply, we practically need a PhD's worth of research.

Would I be correct in assuming that you have other ways you'd prefer to spend your time?

While it's always a good idea to research the foods you take into your body, to an extent, adding vitamins and health supplements will take a ton of guess-work out of your overall health and nutrition.

Take a whole-food (NEVER synthetic) multivitamin and a powerful antioxidant supplement. The acai berry is the most powerful, natural antioxidant I've seen. Green tea is always a good stand-by.

When you pick these vitamins and health supplements up, please do so at your local health food store or from a whole-food online store. Stay away from the grocery or drug store. They deal primarily in synthetic vitamins and supplements, which generally cause more harm than good.

In addition, if you don't already, be sure to fully hydrate yourself every day by drinking 4 to 6 liters of purified water. Avoid the types of foods mentioned at the beginning of this article as much as possible. Substitute fresh fruit with raw almonds and yogurt for desserts. It's absolutely "yum" and will make a huge difference in the quality of your life.

Of course, for an entire makeover of your health, energy, vitality, and mental & emotional health, nothing beats vitamins and health supplements. They will take you to a whole new level!
