Maintaining a healthy lifestyle starts with the awareness and commitment.
Awareness is knowing where you stand nutritionally. Awareness means educating yourself in the areas of healthier lifestyle.
Commitment means deciding between doing what it’s easy to do and also what is easy not to do.
For example eating fruits and vegetables on a daily basis is easy to do.It is also quite easy not to do.
There is a notion out there that you get everything from food. Not so. Be honest do you eat 7-9 fruits and vegetables each and every day? Yet that is recommended by the food guide and the Cancer Society.
So you need to supplement. Be aware that not all supplements are created equal.
How do you obtain vitamins for your body?
You get vitamins and minerals from plants and animals. Your mother knew best when she said ” fruits and vegetables are good for you.”
How do you know that the food you are eating on the supplements you are taking are actually working your body? For example : If you had high blood pressure and saw your doctor and he prescribed a certain medication how does he know the drug which he prescribed was effective? He uses a tool called a sphygmomanometer (blood pressure apparatus). In the nutrition field there is only one tool that measures your antioxidant level non-invasively. No bloodwork, hair samples, scraping of the skin etc..It is totally painless and reading is almost instantaneous. It is called the biophotonic scanner.
The following are terms you need to get familiar with. And they are as follows: vitamins, minerals, supplements, antioxidants, free radicals.
Vitamins are natural substances found in living things such as plants.Vitamins must be obtained in the body from foods or supplements because they cannot usually be produced by the body.
Minerals are found in plants. Plants get their minerals from soil soil.For vitamins to do their job, they require minerals.Minerals must also be obtained from food or supplements.
Antioxidants are specific vitamins or minerals that protect body cells from the damaging effects of free radicals
.
Free radicals come from or are caused by smoking, sunlight, stress, exercise etc.. and are one of the primary causes of premature aging sickness and disease and how do vitamins and minerals get in the body vitamins and minerals get into your body when you eat plants such as fruits and vegetables,nuts and spices or when you take a vitamin mineral supplement.
You can also get some vitamins and minerals into your body by eating meat as most animals eat plants.Vitamins and minerals are vital nutrients that helps with bodily functions and prevention of disease.
There is an old notion out there that argues “we get everything from food. Do we really? In large quantity 26,000 person study it was concluded that not one person received the nutritional requirements set forth by the RDA(Recommended Daily Allowance}.A large percentage of people in the US and Canada die of a disease -so we are not getting proper nutrition.Top 2 leading causes of death in North America are Cancer and Heart Disease.
