What You Need To Know About Vitamins And NutritionAbout Nutrition: Nutrition as it applies to our daily lives such as, vitamins and minerals means that we take in what we need, to maintain our body’s healthy state. Nutrition has become an important word thanks to the involvement of the USDA in our daily food requirements, and the FDA’s involvement in determining what is and is not dangerous for us to consume. But what is our responsibility in the nutrition game? Do we understand what our nutritional requirements are, how to fulfill those requirements, and how to look for real nutritional value in our foods? I’m not sure that nutrition has been successfully addressed in its own right. We hear nutrition in relation to our intake, our fortified cereals and milk, and in the context that we need nutritional value from our food choices. But we don’t often stop to think, what do we really need in a nutritional supplement? Nutrition is more readily available to us than ever before, and we’re still no better equipped to actually determine what we need to take, than we were forty years ago. Just because we see the latest advertisement about a particular nutritional product and decide the symptoms of deficiency apply to us, does not mean we need to rush out and purchase the product. The symptoms of deficiency for many nutrients are the same or overlapping. What we need is a way to detect, on an individual basis, what our body’s lack, and then plan a suggested nutritional solution. Some Facts: The complete lack of unity between our medical field and the herbal field, {this is the field that vitamins and minerals belong to,} is a disgrace in a country so forward thinking as the United States. But it is also where we fall short in providing our citizenry with the tools they need to make better, informed decisions. The medical field has long resented any contact that patients might make with herbalists, nutrition or any other proposed health aid, that wasn’t directly related to medicine. Thanks to this prevalent attitude among most all doctors, we have missed great opportunities to advance a generation’s health. If you were to take a cross section of the population, and check for adequate levels of the most used and fortified nutrients, you would probably find that as high as 80% of the population is lacking in at least one of these areas. Now, that doesn’t sound too bad, until you stop to think, what if it’s calcium? A calcium deficiency brings on osteoporosis, a deteriorating of the bone. This disease alone costs millions in medical expense to the population. Can you see how a little more cooperation and open-minded participation on the part of our medical field could result in far fewer health problems? Just remember, Preventive medicine comes in all shapes, forms, and tablets.
