Why Everybody Needs Good Nutirtion
A daily intake of vitamins, minerals and nutrients is essential to good health and energy.
In an ideal world, we would obtain a correct balance of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients from the food we eat. But with todya's hectic lifestyles and poor eating habits, this is often impractical, resulting in a lower level of nutrition than desirable.
Weight problems and nutrional deficiencies are widespread in our society, mainly due to poor eating habits such as overeating, skipping meals and "yo-yo" dieting. Stress, medications, smoking, alcohol and poor eating habits all lead to decreased nutrient absorption.
Many people who try to lose weight quickly abuse their bodies with radical and unsafe slimming methods. Minimal, or reduced-calorie diets rarely provide the full nutrition that our bodies require and can lead to long-term health disorders.
Harsh dieting also robs us of all enjoyment from eating. After long periods of dieting and self-denial, many people fail to maintain their desired weight and put back on every kilo they lost - and more.
If our diet is less than perfect, we need supplements. : )
