Why
supplement? For starters, no one eats a “perfect diet”. Supplements
insure that our bodies get the nutritional building blocks that they
require, even when our healthy eating intentions are slightly sub-par.
What’s more, research shows that the food we eat today often lacks the
nutritional value that it held in previous decades. Adding a supplement
helps make up for that gap.
The question remains – what do we really need? In honor of National Nutrition Month, here are the Top Four Musts for nutritional supplementation.
#4 Anti-Oxidants
Anti-oxidants are free-radical fighter. Free radicals are cells out
looking to cause trouble in the body; disrupting normal activity and
actually damaging DNA, planting the seed for disease. Anti-oxidants
neutralize free radicals by sharing their electrons to stabilize them.
There are two kinds of antioxidants that target different systems in the body. Fat soluble anti-oxidants like vitamins E and D help keep the peace in organs and tissues. Water soluble antioxidants like OPCs are effective for blood sugar regulation, circulation, inflammation and immune support. A mixture of both is a great idea for overall health.
These are general guidelines that can benefit everyone. Adding these four quality supplements into your daily routine is an inexpensive, easy habit that will set you up for healthier future.
