Nutritional Health Supplements
Luxury or Necessity?

Nutritional health supplements are more than just a "quaint health fad." They are essential in this day and age if we want to ensure that our bodies are receiving the correct nutrients they need to live a healthy, disease free life.

In days gone by, our grandparents didn’t have to worry too much about taking health supplements because the food they ate was a whole lot healthier than what most of us can get our hands on today.

In those days, people ate more “home grown” foods. These foods were more nutritious than our foods of today. Foods were organically grown. They were picked when they were ripe. They were not tainted by pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

Foods were eaten immediately. They were fresh, and not laden with preservatives, traveling for days to reach the consumer.

Back then, foods were not processed nearly as much as they are today. They were not stored in plastic containers, left sitting in supermarkets for days on end, and then nuked in microwaves before consumption.

No wonder apples don’t taste like apples, and tomatoes don’t taste like tomatoes anymore! When was the last time you ate a strawberry that tasted like a strawberry?

We just aren’t getting the nutrients from our food that we should. The bad news is that our bodies are starving. They are becoming sick and diseased. In fact, we are dying. The good news is that we can do something about it.

Nutritional health supplements have become a necessity. Whereas once they may have been thought of as a luxury, that only the health conscious rich, or the enlightened ‘greeny vegetarian type’ could afford, now, natural nutrition supplements, are the key to good health and longevity. These are my essentials for good health, if you want to cut to the chase.

Which Supplements Should You Choose?

It's important to choose your nutritional health supplements wisely.

The Food and Drug Administration doesn't oversee or regulate health supplements as they're not considered 'drugs'.

Manufacturers of natural nutrition supplements rely on self-regulation to ensure quality of ingredients, safety of packaging and dosage, and truth in labeling.

There are so many nutritional health supplements on the market, and often we are spoilt for choice. So how do we choose between one nutritional supplement product and another?

Well, I do believe that the old adage, “you pay for what you get”, rings true. That’s not to say that you have to spend a small fortune. However, be prepared to pay a little more for quality nutritional health supplements. Read more on this subject in this Food Health Issues Article.

Direct marketing companies often sell quality products to the consumers at much cheaper prices than you would pay for the same thing in a health food shop, simply by cutting out the ‘middle man’. However, don’t be fooled by outlandish claims or so called ‘miracle cures’. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
