Do you really need a man health supplement?

Is a vitamin/mineral man health supplement necessary?

Depends on how much of gambler you are!

Years ago (pre-1960’s) farming and small gardens were a significant portion of American culture. Many of us had access to fresh fruits and vegetables as well as naturally grown (non-hormone or other chemicals added) meat.

This plus the fact that we didn’t have access to a fast food establishment on every corner meant that we ate meals that were fresh and relatively wholesome. The vitamin and minerals weren’t leached out in the canning or processing and there were far less additives/genetic engineering of the foods.

In addition we were a much more physical society. A good portion of us spent most of our day involved in moderate to heavy physical labor. This increased our appetites and caloric requirements (sometimes to 4000-8000 calories per day.)

The nutrient rich foods that we were eating plus the greater amount of nutrient rich food that we ate meant that we were receiving the vitamins and minerals in adequate amounts.

Fast forward to today in America!

When we analyze someone’s diet today it usually falls into one of two categories - either:

It is laden with fast foods and calories but lacking in nutrient rich foods that would naturally supply the day’s requirements of vitamins and mineral,

Or:

It is a caloric restricted diet which doesn’t meet the daily requirement for calories or vitamins/minerals.

This is coupled with the extra burden that many health food experts believe we bear: they believe that the soils in our country are depleted and full of toxic chemicals, so that our fruits, vegetables and meats are altered due to additives/hormones, or genetic engineering - to the extent that the vitamins/minerals take a back seat to durability, and cosmetic appeal.

So the answer to your question?

If you want to gamble with your health then by all means forget the vitamin and mineral man health supplement!

If not then be safe and at least pop that multi-vitamin/mineral every day!
