It would be great if our soils were not so depleted; read this ⤵️ by Dr. Mark Hyman, to learn why supplements are helpful in addition to eating from the earth. “One of the most common questions I get is, do I need to take supplements or can I get all of my nutrients from food? Ideally, we would be able to get everything we need from the food we eat. Unfortunately, even with a perfect diet, food these days is not what it used to be. Things like depleted soils, storage and transportation of food, and increased stress and nutritional demands make it hard for us to get everything we need from our modern diets. Think about it. Our great grandparents weren’t wondering if a food was organic or if it contained hormones, artificial ingredients, or pesticides. They weren’t eating meat from animals that were cooped up, fed unnatural diets, and mistreated. This doesn’t mean that it’s impossible to eat well. It means that as conscious consumers we have to choose the highest quality foods to nourish our bodies. And it also means that sometimes, we need to consider nutritional supplements. Emerging scientific evidence shows the importance of nutrients as essential helpers in our biochemistry and metabolism. They are the oil that greases the wheels of our metabolism. And large-scale deficiencies of nutrients in our population—including vitamin D, folate, zinc, magnesium, and iron—have been well documented in extensive government-sponsored research. High-quality supplements help fill in nutritional gaps. They are not made to replace a healthy diet, but to supplement one and to ensure that you have an optimal level of nutrients for the billions of chemical reactions happening in your body every second of every day. When it comes to supplements, quality is key! Did you know that the supplement industry is largely unregulated? This is a major issue because companies are getting away with putting untested and contaminated product into pills with gross fillers, additives, and allergens, and selling it to you at a discount. It’s shameful and gives supplements and good manufacturers a bad rep. #bioavailablesupplements #clean #nofillers #itdoesabodygood #askme https://www.instagram.com/p/B60ZCRLhTsU/?igshid=1t4zhx1rypk9s
