How to consume health supplements

For a healthy mind and a healthy body, it is very essential that we consume in balance, all the five food groups namely- Proteins, Carbohydrates, Vitamins, Minerals and Fats. The deficiency or over-indulging of any of the above listed foods could result in a host of diseases. For those nutrients that are not easily available through the food we eat, we can rely on regular doses of health supplements to provide us with the same.

 

Here are a few benefits of health supplements:

 

• Vitamin D is one of the most vital nutrients essential to a healthy blood and bone development in our body. Sunshine is regarded as a rich source of Vitamin D, but it is a little impractical to go sunbathing every day as our mornings are generally usurped with getting ready for work, school or college. Supplementing your diet with Vitamin D supplements ensure that your body gets it dose of D and it only furthers the right growth and development.
• Vegetarians generally tend to not get enough amount of pure protein in their diets. Plant based diets do provide all the essential nutrients but supplementing your diet with by products of Soy like Soy milk, Tofu, and also a pure protein shake to get your protein levels going is a great way to ensure you are getting your protein in the purest form.

 

 

Omega-3 supplements are essential to people of all age groups and who follow whatever food choices. One must consume cod liver oil supplements to ensure that they are getting ample amount of DHA, very important for the health of the heart. Fish oil is a rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids which contribute to the over-all growth and development of the body. For the development and growth of healthy skin tissues, fish oil supplements are a huge factor.

 

According to the food cycle, micro-algae that is found in deep seas is rich in Omega-3. Fish like krill, etc thrive on these algae. Big fish eat these small fish and the traces of Omega-3 enter their body. When cod liver oil is extracted from these fish, it is pressurized, processed and then packed into little capsules to be consumed in a regulated serving per day. Omega-3 is very essential for pregnant or nursing women in particular. It is also known to clear the discomfort girls face with on their menstrual cycle and also help cope with the Pre-Menstrual-Syndrome.

 

What you put into your body is what you become. If you are constantly eating heart attacks on a plate, a heart attack is what you will get. Always indulge in a well planned, freshly prepared balanced diet. Wherever need becomes, supplement your daily meals with health supplements and ensure that you are gifting your body the gift of absolute health. Always be prepared to fall back on your own instincts while determining a lifestyle. Don’t force yourself to give up or embrace meat. Take little steps and make little changes and always believe yourself.
