Why you Might Need Nutritional Supplements

Posted By

Olivia Ensor

Here are 11 simple reasons why you may benefit from dietary supplementation.
You may find that they all apply to you, or that only two or three hit home, but either way it is a fact of life that most people these days do not get all the nutrients their body's need from diet alone.

How much are you willing to compromise on your health and wellbeing?

Stress

Today's fast paced; super busy lifestyles leave little room for well planned, wholefood meals. We are bombarded with physical, chemical and emotional stress that puts greater demands on our bodies. High stress levels may be combated by increased intake of B vitamins, vitamin C and Zinc.

Poor / Restricted Eating Habits

Many people by accident or choice have a limited repertoire of what they are eating. Food allergies and sensitivities can greatly limit the foods one is allowed to eat. Adding a supplement such as Good Green Vitality may help to cover the vitamins and minerals that may be lacking in a restrictive diet.

Alcohol and Smoking

Everyone knows they are not healthy habits but what many people don't realise is the burden that they can place on the body. The liver must process the alcohol and in doing so creates a higher need for the B vitamins and Zinc. Smoking causes free radical damage and this is where a diet high in antioxidants may help, especially Vitamin C.

Soil Deficiencies

Due to modern agricultural practices and pesticide use our soils are becoming more depleted of nutrients over the years. If the nutrients aren't returned to the soil or crop rotation isn't implemented the mineral content of the soil will suffer. If the nutrients aren't in our soil they aren't in our foods.

Athletes / Sport

Sport is fantastic for the body but also creates a higher need for certain nutrients. The B vitamins, vitamin C, Zinc and Magnesium are just a few of the nutrients the body needs for energy metabolism and repair. Exercise creates immune suppression and increased risk of upper respiratory tract infections. High antioxidant intake may help to counter balance this situation.

Medications

Many medications can alter our body's ability to digest and absorb food properly. Antibiotics, though lifesaving can disrupt the friendly gut flora that is so important for immune and digestive health. Pre and Probiotics can help to restore this imbalance and strengthen one's digestive system.

Poor Digestion

Stress, medications, spices and hot beverages such as coffee and tea can all have a detrimental effect on one's digestion; potentially causing inflammation and/or interference with the absorption of nutrients from the foods we eat. Adding Clean Lean Protein to your diet will maximise the digestion of important proteins.

Nutrient Losses in Foods

The longer a food is sitting on a shelf in the supermarket, the length of time a food is waiting to be eaten from your cupboard or refrigerator plus the amount of cooking time it is exposed to can all lead to losses of nutrients such as the antioxidants and B vitamins. Fresh is best wherever possible!

Packaged / Processed Foods

Foods high in refined carbohydrates, sugars and preservatives typically do not have high amounts of vitamins and minerals as they can be lost during the refining process. Many people are dependent on packaged / fast foods and this may leave their body short of the recommended intake of nutrients.

P.M.T.

Research has found that many women suffering from Premenstrual Tension. may benefit from a higher intake of B6, Magnesium and Zinc.

5 + 2 can be hard to come by

Many people find it very difficult to get in the 5 serves of vegetables and 2 servings of fruit that are recommended for a balanced diet. Good Green Vitality contains over 75 ingredients to help assist with consuming a healthy, balanced intake of the correct vitamins and minerals to further optimise your health.
