Welcome to Day #7!
Today we’ll switch gears further from thoughts and beliefs to
something else concrete–supplementation, particularly
vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and Omega 3 fatty acids, all
of which are key for optimal health.
But first, why supplement?
Don’t we get enough from our food?
Well, how well do you eat?
Be honest with yourself.
Do you get plenty of color, plenty of raw, organic fruits and
vegetables and raw, whole, or unprocessed food throughout the
day?
Most people don’t, and for those of you that do, how’s your
health and how do you feel?
In this day and age, with the multiple environmental and social
stresses on us we often need something extra to keep us healthy,
even when we’re eating well, and to support us when we’re not.
For many people, their bodies are like checking accounts for
which they’re writing more checks than deposits every month.
For awhile, they get away with this until the reserves are
used up and checks start to bounce.
This is when you notice you’re stiff the day after playing ball,
or your knees are starting to ache, or your eyes don’t see as
well–things we normally attribute to aging and assume we just
have to live with.
But what if you could start depositing more than you’re taking
out?
What if you could start giving your body concentrations of high
quality nutrients that your body could use as raw ingredients
to function better and heal itself?
This is what quality supplementation provides–a concentrated
extract of desired nutrients.
A simple example of this is juicing raw fruits and vegetables
to extract and concentrate the nutritious juices.
A further step is to take a quality vitamin and mineral supplement,
antioxidants, and Omega 3 fatty acids, and a third step is to take
a “superfood” product.
With healthy boosting of essential nutrients, I have seen many
people suffering from “age-related” ailments actually
**reverse-age**
and in many cases, decrease or wean off their medications
altogether!
Now you may be asking,
“How do I choose a quality supplement or superfood?”
Well, here’s a quick tip–find out what’s actually made a
difference for someone else.
That’s a great place to start.
Or reach out to me for a guide to what I personally use and recommend.
Now here’s a heart-to-heart question for you.
Have you taken one or more steps you learned in the past 7 days?
Or just read the lessons?
If you want to see real change in your health and how you feel,
take a step.
You can take one right now by “anchoring” a thought or step
you intend to take today by writing it in the comments below.
I look forward to hearing from you!
