Before I became an avid proponent of taking supplements, I cringed at the thought of taking one vitamin, I never thought I would be taking twenty six. I remember sitting down watching a program that featured a medical Doctor who embraced a natural approach to health. He said that our conventional food supply was void of important daily nutrients. He said that in order for our immune system to function optimally, we had to maintain a healthy diet, and take vitamins in the dose that would be necessary in order to sustain health. While he was conducting a seminar, someone asked why couldn't we just take one multivitamin and that be sufficient. He said that it would have to be the size of a golf ball in order for it to contain all of the necessary nutrients.
I followed his advice and began to take the vitamins and minerals he recommended, and the colds that I would get at least twice during the winter months did not last long; and they did not take me out of commission as they had previously done.
Ideally, those who believe that we should eat healthy and get all of our vitamins and minerals from our diet are absolutely right; but unfortunately we live in an industrialized nation that mass produces everything. When our produce is mass produced, the soil is not taken care of as it was in days of old. Our produce is only as mineral and vitamin rich as the soil it came out of.
When we think about the importance of getting our vitamins and minerals, it is VERY IMPORTANT. Vitamins and minerals help to create new healthy tissue. Vitamins are organic compounds that stimulate bio-chemical reactions in our body. If we don't have them, it's like a contractor bringing workers to a site to build a building , but they have no bricks to build with.
