Why take vitamins? Food supply in the US has changed dramatically over the years. This is because of technology. It has changed farming. Farmers used to turn the soil and would get 1-2 crops a year. Today, farmers cultivate the farm and get 6-7 crops a year. Our soil is depleted of nutrients all of us need to get out of our food. In 2001 the American Dietetics said you’d need to eat 18 servings of fruit and vegetables today to get antioxidants to fight cancer and alzheimers.
Did you eat your fruits and vegetables today?
The US Surgeon General says no matter what age you are, you should be taking good supplements. The FDA doesn’t regulate the manufacturing of any nutrition products. Many assume vitamins like Centrum and others are regulated by the FDA. NO vitamins are regulated. Anyone can decide to develop and manufacture vitamins, throw them into the marketplace, claim anything, and no one will police them.
In looking for vitamins, you want to know they’re developed by good doctors with solid credentials. You want to know there is scientific evidence to back them up. Do they have a self delivery system? Otherwise, they’re simply washing thru your system.
Just like your car needs fuel, so does your body.
The thing is....... you can't get a new body.
