Supplementation Is A Must
103. Supplementation is a must.
This seems like an odd Tool to be used to help you achieve your goals and increase the probability of success. Well, if you remember earlier, we discussed that it is most likely these days you aren’t fueling your body properly because the components the body needs no longer exist in many of the foods we now eat. In addition, it is this lack of vitamins and minerals that are causing our bodies to have a myriad of problems that didn’t exist in the greater numbers they are today.
We want to reach goals and to do this we need to set ourselves up for success. We need to give ourselves every opportunity possible to put the plan we have blueprinted into motion. Otherwise if we are sick, sluggish and tired, we will be less likely to take ourselves to the next level.
Supplementation is a big area for debate. There are many who believe that there is no benefit to taking vitamins, herbs and supplements. There are others who claim they can prove that they work, with studies and placebo groups. I believe the truth may have a few folds into it. For starters, vitamins can only work if they are bio-available for the body to absorb. From the people I consult in this department, there are vitamins that exist that do provide benefit.
Also, while certain medications don’t work for all people, there may be herbs and supplements that can benefit us all as well. For me I think the bottom line is that it is a small price to pay for the benefit with very little risk. Meaning, with any preventative measures we take for health, we may never truly know their benefit because we have no way of knowing what problem we didn’t develop because of the healthy habits we chose. If we take antioxidants, will we truly know the cancers we avoided? Once again, supplements are a piece of the puzzle.
If your goal is to improve your overall health, you will probably be more likely to avoiding missing workouts if you are paying money for supplements. If taking vitamins correlated into you becoming more active, I’d say that alone signifies a benefit to their use. You must do the homework, but take the time to find what supplements can benefit you and your goal for a better life.
