The Importance Of Food Supplements
Zachary Thompson
What are food supplements and why do we need them? Food
supplements are medicines we take to enhance our diets. They
come in various shapes and sizes and a wide range of natural
and synthetic elements.
At first glance it may seem that with all the processing and
food technology our food goes through we really should not need
these food supplements, as our food arrives to our tables
looking so picture perfect. However when we look deeper we see
a very different story.
Have you ever walked into your local grocery store and looked
at the wonderful display of fruits and vegetables. The fruit is
piled in beautiful pyramids and looks so good that you just
cannot resist taking some home to eat.
The beautiful looking fruits we see in the stores with their
shiny exteriors and inviting appearance are not what they seem.
The shiny look is not the natural bloom of a healthy looking
fruit it is merely wax. Why would our fruits be dipped in wax?
The first reason is to preserve it in the long journey from the
farm to the grocery store, and secondly to fool consumers into
thinking that the fruit is better than it is by its glossy
appearance.
When we dig even deeper into our piece of fruit we discover
that nutrition wise it is not what it should be. From its very
birth it has been subjected to artificial fertilizers and
pesticides that have depleted its nutrient worth. Added to this
it has been picked when it is unripe before it has had chance to
produce the natural nutrients that should be present within it.
Therefore the fruit we are so impressed with on the outside
tells a very different story within.
It is not just the fruits in the store it is all the food that
we buy and consume. When examined it will all tell the same sad
story, things are not what they appear to be. This is why to
preserve our health food supplements are necessary.
One of the most important classes of nutrients that should be
found in natural foods like fruits and vegetables are
Glyconutrients. They are a collection of 8 essential
saccarides. They are:
• Mannose
• Glucose
• Galactose
• Xylose
• Fuctos (not fructose)
• N-acetylglucosamine
• N-acetylneuramic acid
• N-acetylgalactosamine
These Glyconutrients used to be found in many fruits and
vegetables but due to the above mentioned facts are now found
in lesser quantities. Therefore food supplements have been
developed containing these nutrients. One of the best known is
Ambrotose, originally derived from the Aloe Vera plant.
This supplement helps your body heal itself by strengthening
the immune system. It also helps the body by aiding and healing
the digestive system. Glyconutrients play a vital part in
helping your body function well and maintaining your health.
Many of the underlying health problems we face today are due to
the lack of Glyconutrients. Taking these supplements will help
you live a healthier life and enjoy life to the fullest.
Note: Glyconutrients are not intended to heal, treat, or cure
any disease.
