Supplements are very important, but not just any supplements!
Many people eat poorly and chase it down with a handful of any type of OTC (over-the counter) supplements. Meanwhile, they think they are filling in the gap to better health while consciously eating poorly. Today supplementation is more important than it has ever been. And our world is full of supplement companies touting to be the best, but in all honesty, very, very few are.
Our food today does not have the nutritional density that foods fifty years ago had. And most people today are living under a much higher stress level. So I encourage good supplementation more regularly now than I would have even five or ten years ago. Of course, this is in addition to good nutrition from the foods you eat, which is always a priority.
Getting healthy nutrition and supporting your body to digest and use these nutrients is an asset as you transition to health and balance. So the first areas to glean support are probiotics, digestive enzymes, and multivitamins. Some of you are dealing with inflammation, while others digestive issues, and others, total gut imbalance. Any of these can lead to your body’s inadequacy to absorb the nutrients. Not to mention that if you’re not feeling good, you most likely can’t lose weight, you will have lack of energy, a foggy brain, or serious chronic health problems.
As we age, some of these supplements become more important to maintain regularly than others that might be useful for a season of repair and balance. So this can clearly become a much bigger issue than many of us have understood, and thus our need for supplementation.
Always look for whole food, clean/organic, 3rd party tested supplements. All supplements are not created equally. Begin to open your mind to the need for healthy supplementation along with proper nutrition, not in place of it.
