Not All Supplements are Equal...

It was surprising to hear recently that some people believe food or health supplements were unhelpful unless you are a performance athlete.

All nutrition whether it is for sports, fitness or health starts with eating a balanced nutritious diet and good hydration. There are, however, times when even seemingly nutritious food does not supply you with what the vital nutrients that you need in life because your body is under constant attack from free radical damage by increasing envrionmental pollution, chemical fertilizers, carbon dioxide and other nitrous volatile gasses that are spewed into the atmosphere.

Scientific research shows how micro and trace elements are lacking in our supermarket foods today. This depleted nutritional aspect of our food supply affects people at all levels whether for health, fitness or performance. One of the main contributions to inflammation and diseases such as muscular disorders, respiratory disorders, osteoporosis or arthritis is probably due to free radical damage caused by environmental pollution or nutritional deficiences.

The Rio earth summit in 1992 highlighted the fact that a large proportion as much as 7/10ths, I believe, of our soil is now infertile thanks to environmental pollution and soil degradation. Foods grown in infertile soils, transportation and chemical polution all further depelete the world's nutritional value of food. http://http//www.604industries.com/portal.php?page=58

You will here it in the news, you will read it on the internet, and you will see supermarket shelves stocked with nutritional supplements. Eg. calcium, magnesium, codliver oil, Omega 3 EPA. Foos and Sports supplementation is a multi-million dollar business for many companies, but not all supplements are equal.

When it comes to the food supplements you buy it is hard to determine which one's are right and which one is right for you. There are many companies that use brain washing techniques to get you to buy their products. According to many people that I know in sports today the nutritional value of these products may be questionable and do not necessarily improve your performance . It is clever marketing that makes people buy their products. You can call it brain washing if you choose. Are they in it for their own gain ? A simple isotonic drink can be made for a fraction of the cost and very easy to make, but many people choose to buy sugary istonic drinks in red, yellow or blue which serve to spike blood sugars rather replace the vital salts depleted during physical activity.
