Why supplementing with nutritional products can benefit the health of spa goers

Think of your body as if it were a car; we need oil changes (cleansing the colon and circulatory system with nutrients to keep arteries, veins and our internal piping clear of toxic clogs), and gas (good carbs, proteins and fatty acids) to work properly. Most of our bodies are unable to fight the over attack on the natural defenses and when wrinkles, age spots, loss of elasticity in our skin appear its due to the ‘rusting effect’ of our bodies. The stress at the cellular level is a byproduct of free radical damage, a natural process in which unstable molecules disrupt cell and tissue functioning both inside and out. This is why supplementing is key to maintaining a functioning body all the way to the cellular level which eventually shows through your outer appearance from your skin, hair, nails, eyes, and lips people will notice a difference.

Many of us understand that eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly and drinking enough water is an equation for a healthy lifestyle. In a recent survey by Thomson Medstat, they questioned obese Americans on their diets and exercise routines. Forty percent claimed they did ‘vigorous’ exercise at least three times per week, plus ate a balanced meal with fruits and vegetables. So what is the root of the problem? Do we convince ourselves that we are eating healthfully? Or could it be a combination of factors such as eating too much, or believing that processed foods are healthy and taste better then natural foods, or do we eat healthy and organic but the nutrient value of our foods are declining?

Creating cheap food for today that lack yesterday’s nutrition

Vital nutrients and minerals have dramatically declined in some of our most popular foods, including potatoes, tomatoes, bananas and apples, stated in numerous studies conducted in Canada, Britain and the U.S. In the last 50 years our fruits and vegetables have undergone a massive decline in nutrients. According the latest Canadian analysis potatoes have lost 100 percent of their vitamin A, 57 percent of its vitamin C and iron, and 28 percent of its calcium content. Take an orange for example, to obtain the same amount of vitamin C as our great grandparents did, we would now need to eat eight oranges instead of one. Think of the consequences of eating 8 oranges, yes an orange is healthy, but the calories and sugar content alone would throw your diet for a loop.

Why supplementation is key both internally and externally

We have no choice but to live in our present environment. Our food is less nourishing then in past decades, we over eat and we don’t exercise enough. Plus add our over stressed lifestyles, polluted environment and over medicated society our bodies become depleted of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, essential proteins, good carbs and the right fatty acids. Supplementing is key to maintaining a healthy body both inside and out! Using organic skin care products with essential nutrients can also penetrate the skin and allow for supple, refreshed and rejuvenated skin. The combination of healthy eating plus exercise plus supplementation plus spa treatments is an equation for healthy aging and complete vitality.

Reasons To Supplement

1. Food is lacking the nutrition we need to fight off everyday ailments

2. We would need to eat at least two times the amount of food our great grandparents did to obtain the same amount of nutrition – disturbing our diets

3. Our bodies become rusted over time due to pollution, smoke, alcohol, processed foods and UV light from the sun and artificial lights

4. Our body cannot produce the nutrients we need
