Your Health Choice

Hope that your body will get all the nutrients it requires from the food you eat. If you do this, then you need to be very choosy in the type and the quality of your food. Unfortunately, many of today’s chronic degenerative diseases – coronary disease, stroke, cancer, emphysema, arthritis – have flourished in our modern polluted and nutrient-depleted world.

We can accept the logic and evidence that, by providing the body with all the minerals, vitamins and other nutrients it needs to function properly, it will be more resistant to disease and should be able to cope with illness better. This will require the addition of good nutritional supplements.

We must never forget that our main weapon against disease is our own body –its defensive and immune systems. The body can also mend itself when injured or when recovering from disease. These protective and repair systems are incredible. Most modern medicines only provide a crutch, while the body does the work of healing. How can we expect our wonderful bodies to function properly if we starve them of essential nutrients?

Combining this logic with the above compelling scientific data from some of the most prestigious journals in the world leaves no doubt that our bodies do benefit from top quality nutrition.

In today’s world an ideal diet supplying all the necessary nutrients is almost impossible to achieve, so good quality supplementation is necessary. We have emphasized the words “good quality” deliberately. A good supplement should provide a complete range of all the required nutrients, in the right dose, in a form which is easily absorbed into the body – preferably made to pharmaceutical standards which guarantee the quality of contents and ensure the exclusion of potentially injurious impurities. The regulations for supplement manufacture allow them to be made to food standard. Modern drugs are made to a totally different standard, i.e. pharmaceutical standard.

Sadly, most supplements available to the public do not achieve these ideals as their manufacture complies with food standards, which is why so many doctors and health professionals are unconvinced of the value of using supplements. It is worth looking for few good quality supplements which are made to pharmaceutical grade. Independent authorities can provide insight to help you in your search.
