Ingredients of our Food

When we take food, it starts being broken down by your teeth and the enzymes in your saliva. Digestion begins. Then the chemicals in your stomach work digesting the food into its six nutrients categories.

• water
  
• carbohydrates
  
• Fats
  
• Proteins
  
• Vitamins
  
• Minerals
  

Out of these only carbohydrates, fats, proteins provide energy.

Nutrients

Nutrients are components of food that are needed by the body inadequate amounts to grow and lead healthy life. An essential nutrient is a nutrient required for normal body functioning that either cannot be synthesized by the body at all, or cannot be synthesized in amounts adequate for good health. Thus these essential nutrients must be obtained from a external dietary source.

There are two types of Nutrients.

• Micro nutrients
  
• Macro nutrients
  

A balanced diet contain both macro and micro nutrients

MicroNutrients - Micro nutrients are nutrients needed for life in small quantities. The Micro minerals include iron, cobalt, chromium, copper, iodine, manganese, selenium, zinc and molybdenum. They are dietary minerals needed by the human body in very small quantities (generally less than 100micrograms/day).

Micro nutrielts are things like

• Vitamins
  
• Minerals.

MacroNutrients - The chemical elements humans consume in the largest quantities. They provide energy to the body and enable the cell to grow. These are compounds humans consume in the largest quantities and which provide bulk energy.

Three main macro nutrients are

• Carbohydrates
  
• Fats
  
• Proteins
  

Water and atmospheric oxygen also must be consumed in large quantities, but are not always considered "food" or "nutrients".

PhytoNutrients -These are plant based nutrients. These are found only in fruits and vegetables and plants based diet as there are thousands of phytonutrients supplied in a plant-rich diet. These are not found synthetically. Phytonutrients are found in plant-based food sources, including brightly-colored fruits and vegetables.

Nutrilite

There are numerous companies which supply dietary food supplements in the wellness industry. 

The pioneer in the history of nutrition is NUTRILITE™, which introduced multivitamin/multi mineral supplement to the world. The founder of NUTRILITE™, Mr. Carl Rehnburg, in 1927 observed that the urban people showed terrible sign of malnutrition but this malnutrition was not as wide spread among the poorer citizens in rural areas. He began to study the relationship between health and nutrition and realised that there were many plant based substances critical to human diet.

After years of research, he came out with his company called California Vitamins and produced the first multivitamin/multi mineral supplement in 1934. The company was changed to Nutrilite in 1939.

The basic idea at Nutrilite is that all of the factors required in nutrition are nearly always found in plant substances.”

-Carl Rehnborg, 1955

Sickness Vs Wellness

Modern medicine is now facing the need for a total paradigm shift in its thinking. Years of treating sickness and symptoms rather than promoting wellness and finding causes have led to an urgent need for all of us to take greater responsibility for our health. We need to move from a 'sickness and cure ' view to a 'wellness and preventing' view.

There are among other things, 13 essential vitamins required to maintain good health that generally cannot be produced in our body itself. These vitamins have to be taken in our daily diet. These vitamins can prevent diseases. These can built enough resistance in our body. These can make us better.

If one has deficiency of Iron, over a period of time, it causes anemia. This causes weakness in our body and when we approach a physician for this he prescribes us among other things Iron content. In take of the medicines gets back the iron in our body. This is curing a problem after it has occurred. Sickness is curing after a disease has occurred. - Sickness Industry

If we have good quality food which has enough quantity and quality Iron in it, we may not even have to approach a physician. As this kind of good quality food is normally out of reach, a supplement rich in iron will do. This is preventing a problem even before its occurance. - Wellness Industry

I started taking glucosamine and the pain in my knee disappeared within two months. One year later the same orthopedic surgeon asked me who had operated on me knee. When I told him about the glucosomine, he took some X-rays and asked me not to publicize my experience, as it could put him out of business. I was amazed that I, an economist, was teaching an orthopedic surgeon about glucosomine.

- Paul Zane Pilzer, economist

Author of 'The Wellness revolution.'

The wellness revolution is based on giving the body what it needs to support optimal health and quality of life.

Why do you need food supplements?

When we feel hungry and take food,

1. we take too much of food. -Over eating - when the daily intake of food exceeds the requirements, the body converts the excess calories into Fat. the excess of fat is associated with fatigue, heart disease, cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

2. The normal food we take does not contain the required building blocks or catalysts,(lacking nutrition) hence imbalance in the quality of food.

You need good quality of vitamins, minerals, proteins and carbohydrates to lead a hassle free good health. In the present scenario, when everybody is busy doing what they are doing for their living, not many care about the quality intake. We just take some food and rush to our work. Whether it is a student or a job holder or a business man its the same. Hence, we are missing required ingredients in our food.

Apart from the above, we are in dire need of food supplements because,

The life style changes - The Life style of people has changed over a period of time. Please are spending more time sitting at the desk, in a car, infront of TV, in front of computer, eating out at restaurants, eating more of fast foods and junk foods, staying up late and not having enough sleep at night, having untimely sleeps and many more things like this.

Lack of proper Exercise - Not everybody prioritise their time to have enough physical and mental exercises.

Raise in pollution levels - Air pollution levels have raised over last 10 years. This results in unhealthy breathing air. Its not an exaggeration to say that its time when we need to buy some fresh air to breath for good health.

Increase in Chronic diseases - The raise in the chronic diseases is because of the life styles and stress in the day to day life

In Short, You need food Suppliments if...

• You Don't have  pollution free environment
  
• You don't have time to exercise regularly
  
• You have untimely or less sleep 
  
• You have regular eat outs or skips meals
  
• You are stressed out at work
• You are not getting a good quality of food

What does your food contain?

The food we have normally contain three things

Energy: This energy lets us do our regular work on daily basis.

Building blocks: These blocks contain proteins, amino acids and most minerals used for building blood, skin, bones, hair and internal organs

Catalysts: This consists of all the vitamins, enzymes and some minerals which convert food into energy.

We feel hungry when we lack the required energy and hence we take high energy food. But, unfortunately, we will never feel hunger for Building blocks and catalysts till we are ill.

Health

Good health. The term itself is very rare these days...

it not just includes good food habits, it also includes right thinking.

 

Getting a quality intake has become next to impossible, considering the pollution around, the poor manufacturing practices and maintaining the freshness before it reaches our mouth. 

    This has brightened up the food suppliments market as such.
