Today, we are living in a world of instant gratification. At
every turn, ready made foods are packaged attractively, promoted
attractively and priced attractively. One cannot but be swayed
by the colours, smells and tastes out there.
We, however need to eat a balanced diet to maintain our mental
and physical health. We all know that all the necessary
nutrients are available in natural foods. But, the question is,
how many of us are following the precepts of nature; do we eat
all the recommended portions of fruits and vegetables? Most of
us do not. Put it down to the acquired preferences as well as
our innate rebellious nature that, makes us do the exact
opposite of what our parents tell us!
On the one hand we do not maintain a proper food habit and, on
the other hand we poison ourselves with the muck on the store
shelves. One consequence is the ugly obeseness that we see all
around. Nutritional shortfalls exist for many nutrients in our
normal diet. Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Vitamin B-6, Folic acid,
Zinc, Copper, Calcium, Iron, and magnesium are all lacking in
the normal diet.
It is also a fact that conventional agricultural practices as
well as the cold storage chain to which harvested produce is
subjected depletes a lot of the nutrients from even natural
foods. One way to overcome this deleterious effect will be to
eat only organically grown produce. This however may not always
be affordable as it costs considerably more than conventional
produce.
One way then is to get nutritional supplements. These are
available in a wide range of combinations and along with the
conventional vitamins and minerals also include the rare salts
and elements necessary to maintain a healthy body.
Neutraceuticals is today a multi billion dollar industry and
these products are affordable and tailored to suit the
individual requirements.
It is thus essential to learn about proper nutrition and what
your body needs in order to stay healthy. A lot of the chronic
diseases of today are caused by nutritional deficiencies and, as
such, can be prevented by seeing that you provide your body with
the building blocks of good health that it needs. Our body's
ability to renew itself and protect itself is amazing provided
that it is given all of the essential nutrients.
