ARE THE NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS NECESSARY IF WE FEEL FULLY
The topic of nutritional supplements is very confusing for most people. In theory, things seem perfectly simple. After all, it should be that if your food is healthy, fresh and unprocessed, your diet should be complete and supply you with all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other nutrients you need. Right?
The media further complicates the issue of nutritional supplements and constantly leaps from one extreme to another – either completely rejecting one or swearing at the effectiveness of others.
Not to mention the latest new research and “discoveries” by scientists that only contribute to the misinterpretation of everything related to nutrition and supplements.
Some studies praise the effectiveness of multivitamins, while others praise only certain nutrients. So, are nutritional supplements really needed?
ARE THE NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS NECESSARY IF WE FEEL FULLY
Dr. Mark Hyman answers this question in an article on Mindbodygreen.com. The short answer is that, even with a perfect diet, many things – including poor soil, food storage and transportation, hectic lifestyles and stress, toxic environments and more – make it impossible to get all the nutrients we only need from the food we eat. And studies show that the inclusion of certain nutritional supplements can improve our overall health.
Of course, as with everything else, one should not overdo it here. Several essential nutritional supplements can become your “insurance” to fill the shortage of those nutrients you most likely do not get with your food.
