Why Take Nutritional Supplements?
My name is Cathy Baker. I am a Natural Wellness Consultant helping others look better, feel better and live better using breakthrough wellness technologies - the likes of which the world has never seen!
Here you're going to find the truth about nutritional supplements and why they are important for you. Keep reading to discover far more about creating wellness in all areas of your life using nutritional supplements.
Could I ask you a couple questions?
Do you take any nutritional supplements now? Or think you don't need them? Do you know how they can affect your level of wellness?
Wellness is the state or condition of being in optimal physical and mental health. Wellness gives us a better quality of life. Nutritional supplements allow us to have optimal wellness.
What do you think about before going to sleep at night?
Ninety-six percent of people lying awake at night are worrying about health or finances. -Harris Poll, 1997.
It's a well known fact that good nutrition is important to quality of life...
Most people want more energy, to have greater focus, to be able to sleep better and to manage the stress they experience in everyday life...simply put, they want to feel great! They want to have optimal wellness!
You've probably noticed that the world is moving faster.
Every so often you stop and realize that you feel a little more tired, a little more stressed. Where did your quality of life go?
You make a resolution in January to start exercising, but the gyms that were packed in Jan/Feb are lonely in May/June. So you try to make better choices at the grocery store- leafy greens, fresh fruit, organic. If the label says its good for you, it is. Right?
Many people would be surprised to learn that some studies indicate there has been a decrease in the overall nutritional quality of the produce they eat, impacting their wellness and quality of life...making nutritional supplements necessary to overall well-being.
Some of the fruits and vegetables we eat today are often picked before they are ripe, processed and pasteurized, and shipped long distances to market. So while your local market might be overflowing with produce, the nutrients may be inadequate. Though many of us are craving more food as our bodies are crying out to get the nutrition we need, the end result is usually only increased weight that we struggle to eliminate.
On top of that, we still may not get the nutrients we need. Wellness is not out of reach...Grow Organic Food At Home or take nutritional supplements which are vital for good health.

Nutritional Decline In Food Equals Necessity For Nutritional Supplements
How Our Food Supply Is Being Effected by Environmental Changes
In 1951, two peaches supplied the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vitamin A for adult women. Today, a woman would have to eat almost 53 peaches to meet that RDA. -Jeffrey Christian "CHARTS; Nutrients Changes In Vegetables and Fruits, 1951 to 1999." July 2, 2002. CTV.caThis 2002 report indicates that:
%u274B Vitamins and minerals have dramatically declined in some of our most popular fresh fruits and vegetables, including potatoes, tomatoes, bananas, apples...and the story is similar for 20 other fruits and vegetables analyzed.
%u274B The data showed that you'd have to eat almost 10 oranges to get the same level of vitamin A that your grandparents got from just one orange.
%u274B The biggest loser in the report was broccoli. All seven of its measured nutrients have declined.
Many fruits and vegetables are routinely harvested green and gassed to ripen. This prevents nutrients from developing the way nature intended.
Addressing the growing demand for answers to these core issues has given birth to an explosive new industry called "wellness."
Within the wellness industry, new technologies that enable people to look and feel great will be at a premium. I believe that the best answers are in Intelligent Nutritional Supplementation%u2122.
Due in part to some commercialized and chemical farming practices, some of our diets can be nutrient deficient. Current agricultural practices can negatively impact the nutritional value of fruits and vegetables. Research suggests that modern agricultural practices have resulted in a reduction in some nutrients in fruits and vegetables. - Mayer A-M. "Historical changes in the mineral content of fruits and vegetables". Brit Food J 1997:96(6):207-211.
Today's fast-food diets, loaded with unhealthy fats and empty calories, are leading to an epidemic of health problems. Even those who take the time to eat more nutritious foods are still often unsure if they are getting all the necessary nutrients. How can you know for sure?
The answer, my friends, is natural nutritional supplements.
The Need For Nutritional Supplements
Two Articles That Back Up The Need For Nutritional Supplementation
An article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) states, "Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone...it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements." -Fletcher RH, Fairfield KM. JAMA. 2002:287(23): 3127-3129.An article by Lester Packer and Carol Coleman states,"...controlling free radicals, antioxidants...influence how fast and how well we age...It is virtually impossible to get the optimal amount of antioxidants through food alone; we must supplement." - The Antioxidant Miracle: Put Lipoic Acid, Pycnogenol, and Vitamins E and C to work for You. Lester Packer, Carol Colman, Dec. 1999.

- This is an excellent lens! I especially agree with your comments regarding Nutritional Decline In Food Equals Necessity For Nutritional Supplements. The majority of people are vitamin deficient and are not receiving all the necessary nutrition from the foods they eat.
I recently crossed paths with the world's first and only nano-encapsulated multi-vitamin, mineral and herbal supplement. This has really helped me and my friends and family to experience significant improvement in our overall health from proper nutrition.
