The nutrients in our food-proteins, fats, carbohydrates and the minerals,
vitamins and other nutrients they contain are necessary to our health
and to life itself. Yet food processing, soil depletion, misguided storage
and cooking practices - and plain dietary ignorance - add up to inadequate
nutrient intake for a shocking percentage of today's families.
For the most part, we are what we eat. The type of fuel we take into our bodies is a large factor in determining our health. vitamins, and minerals should be present in our diet in some form: in our food, or as additional supplements or both -- but assimilation is also important. Nutritional research has proven that the body needs sustenance in correct quality, quantity, and combination. By supplying the needed vitamins, minerals, etc. it is possible to assist the body in its struggle to overcome imbalance. Vitamins act like gasoline in a car engine: they make it go and need to be replenished often. Minerals are the building blocks and make up the foundation and structure of the body. The body needs them all in a correct balance to have and hold on to good health. |
