Why Supplements are Necessary

The soil can no longer support the same quality of nutrients in fruits and vegetables as it once did. The soil has been raped and pillaged for a long time and proper renewal has not taken place.

There are excerpts in the rest of the post from a Health, Wealth and Wisdom Newsletter from Waiora International, LLC to its distributors, dated March 2008, by an unlisted author. The newsletter is in the public domain and was issued for public consumption. There are no copyright issues to deal with. It is not online so linking is impossible.

Fruits and Vegetables are no Longer Enough.

Technological advancements along with consumer demand have negatively affected our current-day food supply, particularly for those who want to eat well.

Food is now harvested before it is ripe, and the soil in certain parts of the U.S. has become depleted of most of its valuable nutrients. Then there are other factors such a pesticide and herbicide residue, chemical additives and preservatives, storage/distribution/transportation and finally cooking.

All of this has weakened the micro-nutrient content of our food by the time is reaches our mouths, and this has created a false sense of security when it comes to the recommended daily amounts of essential vitamins and minerals we think we are taking in.

Check out this example:
Amounts of Vitamin C in 100 grams of Spinach
1950 = 150 mg
1963 = 100 mg
1982 = 63 mg
1994 = 013 mg.

The solution:
A complete, whole food, multi-nutrient supplement is a sensible health care strategy for those who want to take control of their own health. My family and I take "Essential Daily Nutrients" every day to support our health and nutrition requirements.
