WHY TAKING SUPPLEMENTS MAKES SENSE

HOW NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS HELP YOU SLOW AGING, FEEL BETTER AND BE HEALTHIER

You’ve probably heard this: If you eat a good diet, you don’t need nutritional supplements. But there are two good reasons that statement doesn't hold up.

First, the richest sources of nutrition in our diets are fresh vegetables and fruits.
Eating five or more servings of fresh fruits and vegetables per day. Do you eat that many fruits and vegetables? Most people don't. As a result, most of us are nutritionally deficient.

Second, our lives are stressful. Chronic stress, coupled with a poor diet, puts tremendous strain on everything from our immune systems to our hearts, increasing our need for nutrition. If we aren't getting enough nutrients from our diets, were more likely to suffer health problems as a result.

Nutritional supplements are preventive maintenance for your body. Here are four reasons you should take them:

1. Supplements help you age better.
As we age, we often become deficient in key nutrients that our bodies need to function optimally. Some people come up short on calcium and wind up with osteoporosis. Others don't get enough antioxidants, leading to cellular damage and premature aging.
Supplementation replenishes nutrients that we may miss. Research shows that a properly designed supplement regimen can delay or even prevent many of the health conditions that come with aging, like heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis, helping you live longer and with more vitality.

2. Supplements give you more energy.
Are you constantly tired from long work hours, lack of sleep and a So-so diet? When the body doesn't get the right balance of nutrients, it doesn't produce energy as efficiently. Blood sugar levels spike and then dive throughout the day. The result is that we end up feeling tired all day.
Supplements give your cells what they need to extract more energy from food and use that energy better, keeping you vibrant and alert.

3. Supplementation prevents dysfunction.
Heart disease, obesity and type 2 diabetes don't appear overnight. They are the end result of years-long deficiencies in key nutrients. Deprive your body of the nutrients it needs, and it will become dysfunctional. The results: heart failure, type 2 diabetes and a host of other diseases.
By taking supplements when you're well, you prevent deficiency and dysfunction. This reduces your odds of developing age related degenerative diseases.

4. Prevention puts money in your pocket. How much do you think you would save over 20 years if you didn't need prescription medication or expensive surgeries? Giving your body the full range of nutrients it needs can help you prevent disease and reduce the cost of medications, doctor visits, hospitalization and insurance, saving thousands of Money.
