The Most Important Supplement You Can Take For Better Health
Copyright 2005 Ryan Cote
This article will reveal one easy change you can make that will help better your health...
It's absolutely crucial that your body gets the nutrients it needs to function effectively and efficiently. The daily stress of pollution, fatty and processed food and stress deplete your body of nutrients and it's up to you to replace these nutrients. You can do this through healthy nutrition, or even better, through healthy nutrition and quality nutritional supplements.
For the average person, it's difficult to get the proper amount of nutrients needed from food alone. Even the healthiest of eaters might not be getting the recommended amount of vitamins and minerals. This is because it's hard to judge exactly how many nutrients you are getting from the food you are eating, not to mention certain forms of cooking actually destroys the vitamins and minerals in the food.
The best thing you can do for your body is to eat a balanced diet and supplement it with a quality multivitamin. You'll get some of the nutrients your body needs from the food and then back it up with a multivitamin for a very effective one-two punch.
There are five forms of mulivitamins you can buy: capsule,
tablet, softgel, powder and liquid. Avoid tablets at all costs because they are the hardest for your body to breakdown and absorb. Liquid multivitamins are the easiest for your body to absorb because there's nothing for your body to breakdown. Both capsules and softgels, and powders, are also good forms of multivitamins in reference to absorption rate.
So which multivitamins are good ones to buy? Generally speaking, you get what you pay for. The cheap supermarket multivitamins are inexpensive but can't compare to a quality, more expensive multivitamin. Your best bet is to decide how much you can afford to spend and then do research on the Internet for the multivitamins that fall within your price range.
Multivitamins are probably the single most important supplement you can take. If you aren't taking one, you really should consider doing so. Combine this with good nutrition and a solid exercise routine and you'll be amazed at how great you look and feel!
