With our fast paced world today and all our engineered food, it is no longer a secret that we don’t get all our nutrients from the food we buy off the shelf. Mass production, cold storage, pesticides etc etc contributes to loss of vital nutrients that the body needs.

The body needs macro and micro nutrients in order to function properly. Macro nutrients is proteins, carbohydrates, fats and micro nutrients is essential vitamins and minerals.

From a weight loss point of view, ideally you want to consume low calorie, high nutrient food and as I’ve explained, this is becoming quite difficult in today’s society. Yes, it is possible to get all your nutrients in but you’ll have to consume alot of food in order to do that which results in picking up unwanted weight.

Flu and germs also goes around especially in a gym environment and getting in your multivitamins is becoming more and more important.

The bottom line is everybody needs supplementation and that doesn’t mean that you now have to go out and buy a mountain of pills and shakes but a good multivitamin and a good immune booster is a must for everybody.

Off course getting in nutrients doesn’t always mean popping a pill. Vitamin D we can get from about twenty minutes in the sun, vitamin C from oranges, assuming that it is picked from the tree and not been sitting a cold store room for months. 

Consistently taking your vitamins and educating yourself in high nutrient foods will make a dramatic change in your body and you’ll feel better, have more energy.

Happy Training!
