Why Do We Need A Supplement?
I am often asked “Why do I need to supplement my food intake? - I have a balanced wholesome diet in the foods I eat ! Surely if I have been mindful in sourcing good food, I should stay healthy?”
Perhaps something has happened to our food chain! Let’s take a look at what is available to us, how it is grown and prepared for our consumption. For many years now we have been using chemical fertilizers to increase the abundance of our crops, and chemical sprays to keep off unwanted pests. What happens to these chemicals? We are consuming them in the foods we eat. The impact of these chemicals on our finely tuned digestive systems must surely be detrimental. As a result of excessive cropping coupled with the use of chemicals we have severely diminished the nutrient content in the soil and subsequent food source.
With the ever increasing demand for fast and easy to prepare foodstuffs, we are also consuming greater quantities of processed foods, thus further decreasing the nutrient content of what we eat. Convenience food, processed food, packaged food - all designed to make life quicker and easier in this busy world we live in. But at what damage to our health? Fresh alternatives to processed foods are just as quick, far more nourishing and nutritious and usually cheaper!
If we accept that boosting the immune system to fight off disease is important to our health and longevity, then the question is “which supplement?”. Consumers are faced with an alarming array of choices, each backed up by scientific evidence, of why this supplement or that multi vitamin is the best. Usually a different supplement is recommended for each different complaint. One for arthritis, one for high blood pressure, one for menopause ………. Even if all these supplements are ‘natural’ products, the bodys finely tuned balance can be overturned by the array of ingredients thrown at it from your arsenal of weapons.
The best chance we have to live a health and long life without disease is to replace what is lacking with a rich NATURAL nutrient. We are complex biological creatures whose function and well being is dependent on the nutrients we provide. On the day we were created so too were the foods we require, and the remedies to keep us alive and well. Noni is the ultimate most comprehensive natural nutrient that works in synergy with our processes to distribute the nutrients where required.
More on the nutritional content of Noni juice tomorrow!
Until then …… stay healthy
