Natural Health Supplements Complement A Healthy Diet

The FDA does go on to add that "...supplements do not supply all of the nutrients and other substances present in foods that are important to health."

We completely agree that health supplements are not a substitute for a healthy diet. Choosing your foods from ALL of the food groups and eating a wide variety of foods from those groups is essential to your overall health. Unfortunately, simply living in today's modern world makes it nearly impossible to get all the nutrients your body needs from diet alone. Quality health supplements provide a necessary source of additional nutrients that our modern diets lack.

• Strip the soil of nutrients by over farming it



• Use pesticides that add harmful chemicals to the diet



• Rely heavily on nitrogen and artificial nutrients to fertilize the soil - to the detriment of our health



• Genetically modify food to look good - by stripping it of nutrients that our bodies need

Natural Health Supplements Help Protect Our Bodies From Pollutants

At the same time, industrialization has polluted the earth, water and sky. That pollution has nearly eliminated some of our healthiest food choices from our diets. Fish is heavily contaminated with poisonous mercury. Groundwater from which plants draw sustenance is contaminated with chemicals and other pollutants. The air is filled with smog, smoke and other poisonous chemicals that seep into our bodies through our lungs, our skin and the food that we eat.

Studies and research conducted in nearly every country has proven that many of the nutrients that have been lost or reduced in our diets provide vital protection to our bodies. Vitamins like C, D, E and the B complex family, enzymes like CoQ 10 and essential fatty acids that are found in fish and certain vegetable oils all have proven antioxidant properties. Those antioxidants play a vital role in protecting the body from the damage done by pollution and metabolism.

Natural Health Supplements Counteract Processing That Strips Foods of Essential Nutrients

Modern food processing methods strip further nutrients. By the time most foods reach your plate, they have a fraction of the nutrition that the same foods had fifty or a hundred years ago. Add in our own tendency to favor highly processed convenience foods, and it's no wonder that the rates of illnesses connected to poor nutrition are skyrocketing.

Quality Health Supplements Provide Nutrients That Modern Diets Lack

Among the more important nutrients that our diets lack and that can be supplied by high quality natural health supplements are biotin, lutein, vitamins C, D, E, and all the B vitamins, alpha lipoic acid and DHEA.
