SupplementSupplementing draws this observation by Dr. Andrew Weil in his book Maximizing the Eight Weeks to Optimum Health Plan: “The standard line from most doctors and dieticians is that just about everyone in the United States gets all the vitamins and minerals he or she needs from food. That might be true when it comes to preventing an outright, severe deficiency like scurvy. But so-called ‘sub-clinical’ nutritional deficiencies – those without clearly defined symptoms – may account for some of the common subtle complaints that so many people have, including fatigue, depression, poor immunity, irritability, and vague aches and pains.” Weil goes on to say, “I consider (vitamens and minerals) as a long-term investment in good health: The money I spend now on prevention is pocket change compared to the possible future expenses of medication, hospital stays and surgical procedures. Most of the (nutritional supports) I recommend are fairly inexpensive, and it’s fine to buy cheaper versions as long as they meet dosage and formulation guidelines.” “Remember,” he says, “(they) are by no means substitutes for eating well; you’ll still need to make smart food choices. (View their use) as part of an overall health strategy to optimize your body’s own natural healing potential, including eating well, exercising regularly, managing stress, not smoking, and practicing breathing techniques. By making these and other lifestyle changes now, you’ll be ensuring your health for many years to come.” And, helping you create an edge for making make money your way.
