14 Reasons Why You Might Benefit from Nutritional Supplements
- POOR DIGESTION-Even when your food intake is good, inefficient digestion can limit your body’s uptake of nutrients.
- LAXATIVES-Overuse of laxatives can result in poor absorption of vitamins and minerals from food, by hastening the intestinal transit time.
- VEGETARIAN DIETS-Vegetarian diets, which exclude meat and other foods from animal sources, must be very skillfully planned to avoid B12 deficiency, which may lead to anemia.
- OVERCOOKING/MICROWAVING-Overcooking, microwaving or reheating of meats and vegetables can oxidize and destroy heat-susceptible vitamins and minerals.
- CONVENIENCE FOODS-A diet of simple carbohydrates, such as sugar, white flour, white rice, starches, and fast foods places greater demand on additional resources of vitamins and minerals to process the refined carbohydrate and food additives.
- ANTBIOTICS-Some antibiotics (although valuable in fighting infection) also kill off friendly bacteria in the stomach, which would normally be producing certain vitamins to be absorbed through the intestinal walls.
- FOOD AERGIES-The omission of whole food groups from the diet, as in the case if individuals allergic to gluten or lactose, can result in a lack of key nutrients.
- ACCIDENTS & ILLNESS-Surgery increases the body’s need for nutrients involved in cellular repair and healing.
- STRESS- Chemical, physical and emotional stresses and pollution, alcohol and smoking, can increase the body’s requirements for certain nutrients.
- PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROM (PMS)-research has demonstrated that up to 60% of women suffering from PMS cam benefit from better nutrition.
- PREGNANCY-Pregnancy creates higher than normal demands for nutrients to ensure healthy growth the baby.
- ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES-Oral contraceptives can decrease absorption of some vitamins and minerals.
- SENIORS-Seniors have been shown to have a low intake of vitamins and minerals due to a reduced appetite and the aging process.
- ATHLETES/PHYSICALLY ACTIVE INDIVIDUALS-athletes are subjected to large amounts of stress and increased nutritional demands. Supplementation can meet the need for increased amounts of vitamins and minerals.
