Why Take Supplements Today? Where can you find good supplements? by Tom Sparrow

Many of us feel secure that if we buy the right foods and take store

bought vitamins, we will get all the nourishment our body needs to

function properly. I wish this was true, but a conclusion can be evident by

very simple common sense. We must look at where the food is grown.

Imagine soil that has been used for over 100 years to grow things we

consume. Where do all the nutrients come from that are absorbed by the

plants? The soil can only give up so much before it is void of these vital

nutrients. Only soil that is replenished by continuous erosion or wash over

can receive new nutrients. Farmers only need three chemicals to assist

plants to grow properly that lack nutrients.

to colds, flu and allow your body to weaken. The end result can be fatal

as we can get afflicted with some terminal diseases.

What is the long term effect of allowing your body to degenerate? Aging

faster is one of the side effects of neglect. We're more susceptible to

major ailments such as cancer. Nutrients play a key role in how cells

function. The stronger your cells become, the stronger your immune

system is! The immune system is your army to fight off disease. You also

feel better and have more energy to do more as well as fight off stress!

Due to our fast paced society, stress plays a key role in oxidation of

cells...hence antioxidants are born! I know you've heard of these.

Oxidation causes "Free Radical" damage that is ongoing in our cells.

Free Radicals cause cell damage by taking electrons from healthy cells.

This ongoing damage can be fatal as well as making us feel tired.

Now that we know why we need to take supplements, where do we go

to buy them and what are the key nutrients we should intake? This can
