Natural Health: Whole Foods Vs. Supplements

There are many schools of thought surrounding the use of supplements. Some feel they are essential to good health/well-being while others lean towards whole foods, as the main source of nutrients. The majority are somewhere in the middle, depending upon circumstances.

 I am one of those who believes your body is your best indicator. If you are alert to its signals, it will gladly inform you of the necessity of supplements. For the most part, a diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and nutrients will suffice.

This day and age is filled with appointments, rushing and eating on the run. How could one possibly fulfill their nutritional requirements unless becoming fully responsible for their eating habits?

Feelings of malaise, lethargy, "rundown," constant colds or infections, cracked nails, fissures around the corners of the mouth, dull hair, blemished complexion, are just a few of the signals one will notice if he/she is not maintaining sound nutrition. The body is giving off signal after signal, suggesting it is time to regroup.

Remember, supplements cannot take the place of proper nutrition. It must begin with a healthy diet, wholesome foods, natural grains, fibers, and lean proteins. Plenty of fruits, vegetables, and variations. Taking the time to sit down and have a leisurely meal is also essential.

Strenuous dieting lowers serotonin levels and raises cortisol levels as it detracts from your health. Skipping meals adds to adrenaline and anxiety symptoms. Caffeine, nicotine, sugars and salts place a stress on our system.

 Avoid processed and refined foods by shopping the peripheral of the market.

Your body reflects your diet/nutrition. This is where natural health begins.
