8 REASONS TO TAKE NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS

Although many people still question the importance of taking supplements, here are some important reasons to consider supplementing your diet:

• Food processing, cooking, and preserving leads to nutrient depletion in our food supply.
• Many fruits and vegetables are genetically modified which frequently results in lesser nutritional values than our ancestrial food supply.
• Erratic eating habits, insufficient chewing of food, eating on the run, and stress contribute to poor digestion and more difficulty for our bodies to extract nutrients.
• Environmental pollution in air, water and food may cause our bodies to use more nutrients than normal to detoxify and eliminate harmful substances.
• Current commercial agriculture techniques leave soil deficient in important minerals, causing the food grown in this soil to share the same mineral deficiencies.
• Foods are shipped long distances and are stored for long periods of time, both cause the depletion of the important B-complex and C vitamins.
• Pharmaceutical drug deplete essential nutrients, making people more vulnerable to deficiencies.
• Many nutrients have been proven to prevent or aid in the treatment of health conditions like high cholesterol, arthritis, birth defects, and cancer.
