Filed Under GBG Products, Health | Leave a Comment

To a large extent, our state of health and sense of well-being depends on the foods we eat and whether those foods provide adequate nutrition to meet the energy needs and disease fighting capabilities of the cells of our body in order to sustain good health of body and mind.

We also prefer that the foods we eat are pleasing to the palate as well as containing the right proportions of nutrients in the form of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and fiber, that are, together with water, the building blocks of life.

Essential components of those nutrients are minerals and vitamins required by the cells of the body to perform their complex roles in keeping us functioning and in good health with minimal side effects so that we don’t have to spend monies on things like cellulite treatments.

Many vitamins and minerals are essential for optimum health but, unfortunately, the human body cannot manufacture them in sufficient quantities and instead depends on the daily dietary intake as their source.

However, in the world of today, compared with the past, the refining, processing, and storage of foods, and the farming of depleted soils, may lead to a loss of some of the naturally occurring vitamins and minerals to the extent that it becomes necessary on a daily basis to add pharmaceutically produced supplements to our food.

So what can we do to provide the missing vitamins and minerals?

Since quite a few are required, considered as “essential”, one of the best ways to provide the necessary vitamins and minerals to the body is with a multi-vitamin, a “one-a-day” supplement, instead of a number of separate vitamin tablets, pills, or capsules.

There are many such multi-vitamin formulations available on the market nowadays — but it is difficult for any shopper to know which of those provide an effective mix and amounts of the required substances, so making the correct choice may become a problem.

Vitamins and minerals also available in liquid form

Among the many that are suitable, you might also consider, rather than pills or capsules, multi vitamins in the increasingly popular liquid form, such as the GBG Ten-in-One version, containing as it does so many of the essential ingredients in the quantities that make them effective and easy to take as a supplementary source. A list of the vitamins and minerals in this product can be found by clicking Ten-in-One ingredients . You may have to enlarge the chart and text there for better legibility.

Vitamins and minerals play an important role in staying healthy and helping to prevent diseases and disorders, as does proper nutrition provided by the right choices of foods consumed in quantities in keeping with a person’s caloric needs based on their energy expenditures in their daily activities at work and play.

This becomes especially important as we age or when an individual does become affected by a particular disease or condition, conditions such as elevated cholesterol levels, weakened joints and infirmities that are perhaps the result of arthritis, overweight as a result of lack of exercise and from eating too many fatty foods, heart disease or high blood pressure, and diabetes, a disease growing to epidemic proportions in North America where 26 million already have the disease and face its serious consequences. Can diet, vitamins and minerals play a part in dealing with these conditions?

Yes, there is evidence that they can, together with exercise, and appropriate meal planning it has been shown that they are effective and helpful. But meal planning can be boring and takes effort. Regarding meal planning, if you are a diabetic you may wish to visit Diabetic Menu Guide, where various aspects of food, exercise, weight-loss, are discussed with suggestions on the elements of nutrition to consider in constructing a suitable menu plan.

A cautionary note:
In the case of disease conditions, such as those mentioned above, it is necessary to be under the care of a doctor who will provide the proper medical treatment, guidance and monitoring of an individual’s ailment or disease, including advice on how to adopt appropriate life-style modifications if needed.
