Consuming foods in their whole form as nature intended provides vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and enzymes that work synergistically to deliver the nutrition our bodies require. Studies show that most of us do not eat the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables each day to support optimal health. Much of our diet consists of poor quality processed foods devoid of nutrients. Even when we do eat a largely plant-based diet, unless we are consuming organically grown food, we may still be lacking the nutrients we need based on food grown in depleted soil, long transit times for delivery, overcooking, or stress induced digestive issues.
Quality whole food-based supplements can improve our chances of getting the nutrients we need to achieve or maintain a better level of wellness. Given proper nutrition, the human body has the amazing ability to heal itself. Whole food supplements are made with concentrated foods harvested at the height of nutritional value in order to supply a multitude of the plant’s components.
A healthy lifestyle that includes exercise, a healthy diet and quality whole food supplements can work together to provide optimal nutrition for overall good health. Here are some to try:
