Supplements?
As many of you know,
nutrition is a topic that piques my interest more than any other
contributor to one's health. Only recently have I realized the full
capacity that our nutrition has on our overall well-being. Proper
nutrition can eliminate digestive problems like IBS; it can reduce
symptoms of asthma, arthritis, acne, inflammation, water retention, diabetes, heart
attacks; it can create energy; normalize the body's pH balance; improve
fertility, etc. Companies will promote different diets, or eliminating
different foods as specific ways to cure symptoms of any of these
conditions--but it all comes back to eating real foods...and
supplementing. We are exposed to so many more toxins, environmental
allergens, and stress that impede our bodies' normal
functioning--therefore we need to supplement to counteract those
stressor's on our systems. A few that I highly recommend for any
person to improve one's basic overall health are:
 Fish Oil--- Shown to help prevent cardiovascular
disease, help prevent diabetes and cancer, and a new study shows they
help prevent mental illness. Make sure to choose your fish oil
supplements wisely--many contain fillers and only a trace amount of fish
oil extract in them--don't settle for cheap.  Click here for the brand I use and highly recommend.
Digestive
Enzymes---Shown to help digest
fats, carbohydrates, and proteins more efficiently to ensure your body
is getting all the nutrients from the food you eat. It also helps to
relieve indigestion and heartburn. Many of the processed foods we eat
break down the digestive enzymes our bodies' naturally contain and they
become ineffective. Read more.
Probiotics--Shown
to be another supplement to improve our digestive system by
replacing our gut with healthy
bacteria that is killed off through intake of antibiotics and processed food, support healthy immunity, enhance  mineral absorption, support colon function and bowel health, and much
more.
Multivitamin--Should
provide 100% or more of daily vitamins and nutrients to promote a
healthy immune system, promote balance of needed vitamins and minerals
in the body for proper system function, and sustain energy and health. Here is my pick!
I highly recommend Nature's
Sunshine as a well-known, reliable supplement company. Many cheap,
over-the-counter supplements are filled with chemicals, and fillers, or
are not even digestible by the body. Therefore, you never receive the
full benefit of the product.
