“Use it or lose it.” When it comes to good health, that's a pretty accurate statement. The human body was made to run, play, work and repair itself. It's an amazing machine in that, to a point, the more you use it, the better its condition.
You have begun to use your body in a manner that will keep it working well as long as it has the nutritional building blocks necessary to fuel, protect and repair itself.
We are experiencing an epidemic of chronic disease in America. Type 2 diabetes has gone from number one hundred on the list of common diseases of the last century to the sixth leading cause of death today.
Arthritis is prevalent and joint replacements are common for 50-year olds. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women, and cancer still stalks the lives of millions. All of these diseases have this in common: exercise, weight control and improved nutrition lower their risk significantly.
The medical model in America is designed to treat illness. But we can do better. We can choose a wellness model.
Since you are investing in a new lifestyle, you should see your doctor for a regular physical examination. A good nutritional start would be to exclude processed flour and sugar from your diet.
Eat adequate protein and plenty of fruits, vegetables and fiber. If you need to diet to lose body fat, then follow our temporary dieting method that produces permanent results.
Even if you eat well, chances are that you are missing nutrients in your diet. Most minerals are no longer in the foods we eat. Given enough time, a nutrient deficiency will ultimately manifest itself in disease.
What does the human body need?
- Water
- 10 to 12 amino acids
- 3 fatty acids
- 16 vitamins
- 70+ minerals
- Fiber
- Phytonutrients and antioxidants
We can get most of these nutrients from a healthy, well-balanced diet. Vitamins are supposed to be available in the foods we eat and most minerals are to come from the soil in which the plants are grown, but there is a good chance that we may be missing many of the essential vitamins and minerals.
Vitamins
Most vitamins are available in the foods we eat, but fast food and processed food may be deficient in vitamins and minerals. The number one vegetable in America today is the french fry, and hectic schedules may make it difficult for you and your family to eat a well-balanced diet.
We are promoters of eating a well-balanced diet and obtaining nutrients from the foods you eat, but we are also realists. You probably are not getting all the nutrients you need from your diet.
The only way to be sure that you are not missing these essential vitamins and minerals is to supplement them with quality nutritional products.
Free Radicals
We live in a toxic environment. Smoke from cigarettes, manufacturing and automobiles, chemicals in the things we eat and drink, and dead over-processed foods all contribute to an overabundance of free radicals.
Rust that forms on iron is an example of free radical damage. In the body, cells are damaged due to free radical action. This damage is believed to contribute to heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, blindness and aging.
Antioxidants protect cells from free radicals.
Vitamins E, C, A, beta-carotene, selenium and zinc are nutrients that help to defend against free radicals. Grape seed extract, Coenzyme Q10 and lycopene (which is found in tomatoes) are powerful antioxidants. If you are serious about avoiding disease, you must stop smoking and you must be sure that you are getting adequate antioxidants in your diet or from supplements.
Since it is difficult to acquire the essential nutrients from diet alone, we developed what we believe is the finest multi-vitamin and mineral supplement for women.
