  The 7 Basic Supplements for Good Health #1
 

If you guessed a vitamin & mineral complex, you’re absolutely correct. A firm foundation for good health depends on vitamins and minerals, which we can get from our diet or from dietary supplements. Here are two main reasons why we should seriously consider the second resource.

Food is missing many vital nutrients. Food is different today than it was 100 or even 50 years ago. For one thing, the soil on which much of our food is grown is critically depleted of minerals. Also consider that the feed given to livestock raised on factory farms is a far cry from the nutrient-rich grass and grains they dined on in years gone by. Fruits, vegetables, and legumes are assaulted with chemical pesticides and herbicides, and this raw food is further stripped of its nutrient content by high heat and other production methods used during the manufacturing process. It seems that for all the nutrients removed during processing, an equal amount of harmful substances like hydrogenated fats and unbelievable amounts of sodium are added. And honestly, the majority of us seem to like it that way. Which brings us to our next point.

“Junk” food is tasty.  It’s what many of Americans choose at the grocery store and when dining out. We begged restaurants to wake up to the health crisis and include salads and low cholesterol/low carbohydrate food choices on menus. So they did. Yet the industry says nobody’s eating them. According to a recent NBC Nightly News report (August 18, 2005), Americans dining out are apparently bored with eating what’s good for them, skipping what’s on the healthy menu for burgers and fries. “Taste trumps health every time,” and “Veggies are vanishing and burgers are back,” were just two of the comments in the report that show our sentiment towards healthy food. Now the food industry is in a quandary what to do with their menus, while the sales of high-fat foods are way up.

Essentially, it’s an open and shut case. Everyone agrees that we need a vitamin & mineral complex to provide the nutrients that are missing from our diet. In fact, the Journal of The American Medical Association (JAMA), the medical community's most prestigious research journal, announced that all adults should take vitamin supplements to help promote good health. (June 19, 2002) The impact of that statement is HUGE because it comes from a group that traditionally stays clear of recommending dietary supplements and admittedly knows very little about them.

 

What to Get. Now the big question is which one to choose. We’ve designed a special section on our website to help you answer this question, and we invite you to visit it now. Our pick for a Vitamin & Mineral Complex due to its high potency, yet convenient two-pills-per-day serving is SW490 Swanson Premium Brand High Potency Soft Multiple. We also offer an iron-free version of the same formula, and the item number is SW882. Click here to see all of our Vitamin & Mineral Complexes.

If you’re already set with your selection, ask yourself, “If I were going to add one more supplement to my health regimen, what would it be?” Then compare it against the  #2 recommendation on our list of 7 Basic Supplements for Good Health.
