Learn How Supplementation is Fundemental in Your Weightloss

Remember in my last article we said that if we keep the cell healthy, then our cells will take care of the body?
Our cells need a huge amount of vitamins, minerals every day to help these cells work to the max.
What ask all our clients to take a High Quality Supplement every day, as well as Essentials Fatty Acids. "Essential" means our bodies cannot produce it, so we need to get it from outside sources.
Lets answer a few common questions here:
Why is Supplementation so Important?
Let us quote Dr. Bruce Ames, professor of toxiclogy in UC Berkeley. He says "a deficiency is any of the micronutrients such as folic acid, B-12, B-6, iron or zinc mimics radiation and chemicals in damaging DNA"
What he is saying is that, in fact, the damage your system will endure from a nutrient deficiency is hundreds of time greater than any damage by radiation or chemicals.
Amazing to think that is we do not get an optimal supply of micronutrients, it's WORSE than exposure to chemical radiation!
Also the Surgeon general in the US quoted recently that 68% of disease is caused by improper nutrition.
So it makes sense that if we feed our cells properly, that when they duplicate they will create more healthy cells. Conversely, if we keep depriving ourselves of the proper nutrients, our cells will duplicate that too and it will eventually lead to disease.
I Eat Healthy, Why do I need Supplementation?
We always get asked this question. Well if we lived in the 1900s then we probably cold get all we need from our food because we grew most of our foods ourselves. But the problem today with over-farming, over fertilization, chemical pesticides, there is no longer the nutrition in the soil. So if the nutrients are not grown in the food, then we are not going to get them either.
For example you have to eat 8 oranges today to equal 1 orange back in the 1900s. That's just to get the optimal amount of Vitamin C a day!
You have to eat 33 pounds of spinach to get your Vitamin E quota a day! Or how about 2.2 pounds of almonds? Not very good for your weight loss efforts if you eat that many almonds a day!
So it's important that as well as supplementation we eat as well as we can. It doesn't work if you go out and eat Big Macs and think supplementation will save you! J
How do we Supplement?
Twice a day, morning and evening. We need the right amounts of nutrients during the day, but also we need our nutrients to help repair our bodies as we sleep.
What supplements do we recommend and why?
We recommend the Essentials and the Biomega supplements from Usana Health Sciences [links on all of these].
We have researched the whole industry for the best supplement on the market. As wellness coaches, what we recommend reflects our reputation and we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this company.
Some of the reasons are: -The founder is a scientist (not a marketer), with a double PHD in Microbiology and Immunology -He is a world expert on cell nutrition -He recently won the Albert Einstein Award for Life Saving and Life Preserving technologies -The Essentials have been voted #1 in The Comparative Guide to -Nutritional Supplements in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand -All the worlds Top Womens Tennis players use our products -Many Olympic Athletes take our products, including recent Australian -Pole Vaulter Olympic Gold Medalist Steve Hooker. -Manufactured to Pharmaceutical grade Standard (not Food grade like most of the supplements)
To summarize, there is no MIRACLE supplement that will allow you to lose weight in a safe manner. But the benefits of receiving the optimal supplementation in the body IS Necessary to help improve or maintain your health.
I'll leave you with a few shocking statistics to prive that Not getting your daily dose of the Good Vitamins and Minerals may just mean that weight loss is the LAST thing you have to worry about!
