The Story of Supplements

If you eat 'real food' such as kale,

ginger, courgettes, celery, caulflower, carrots, cabbage, spinach broccoli, fresh fruit etc why would you need to take supplements?

I take supplements but the reason I do so is because I am aware that even real food can only have the nutrients if the soil in which the vegetables are grown, have a sufficient quantity of the minerals for the vegetables to absorb.
Thus supplements complement proper nutrition.

I take a B Complex, Vitamin C, liquid multi mineral solution & Co Q10, Omega 3, ALA.

Co Q10 is essential for the production of cellular energy. Although the body does produce Co Q10 the production is reduced as the body gets older. 

Hormones & Enzymes are made from minerals & it is well evidenced hormones & Enzymes are vitally important to keep the body functioning correctly.
Minerals help with digestion & influence the functioning of other nutrients.

B Vitamins are considered to be critical to health. All stress increases the need for B vitamins. 

I myself use B Complex made by Seeking Health. I prefer Seeking Health supplements simply because they are effective & generally contain no fillers & no GMO ingredients.

The Importance of Phytochemicals!

Phytochemicals (or described as the nutrients) can be found within vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds. herbs, spices, beans etc)
They are essential to health.

Phytochemicals have a profound effect on how our genes manifest their activity ie. in health or disease. What you eat matters! 

Food heals the body! There is no disease that cannot be helped by diet.

Phytochemicals provided in fruits & vegetables are nature's own health foods.
Phytochemicals prevent the onset of disease. We need to eat foods with these healing properties every day.

Phytochemicals act as anti oxidants, help enzymes carry out their work, destroy bacteria, or emulate the actions of hormones.. 
Generally the more brightly coloured the vegetables or fruit the more phytochemicals they contain although onions, garlic etc contain them too.
Spices such as Turmeric contain phytochemicals too.
Eat as great a variety of foods as you can everyday :)
