6 Things That Supplement Companies Don’t Want You To Know
Katherine Crawford | August 15, 2011Many dietary supplements offer a quick fix solution to a problem that is taking over modern society, excess fatness.
The bad news here is that there are a lot of hidden truths that the average person is not aware of.
So, without further ado, here is what you need to know about supplements to protect your health:
1. There is little, if any regulation: In 1994 congress passed the dietary supplement health and education act. And through this act, the supplement industry became highly unregulated. In a nutshell, virtually any individual can put something up for sale in a store.
2. Omega three fatty acids are not necessarily healthy: Not only can they increase bleeding times, but they can also increase bruising and in extreme cases, oxidation of your heart. So always try to get your omega three fatty acids from whole foods.
3. Calcium can be painful: Your best bet is to get calcium from natural sources of food, not from supplements. You see, supplemental calcium increases your risk for developing kidney stones, a painful condition.
4. Natural foods will always have more bio-available nutrients than supplements: First, natural foods interact with each other synergistically to increase total nutrient load. Supplements, on the other hand, have to go through a manufacturing process which strips them of their nutrition.
5. Less is better: The less supplements you have in your diet the better. You see, nobody knows for sure if supplements are safe in the long run. And if you get the majority of your nutrition from whole foods, you will be far better off here.
6. Loose leaf teas are just as good as diet pills: Weight loss pills are very harsh on your digestive system and can fatigue your adrenals. Loose leaf teas, on the other hand, can provide just as much energy but without any energy crashes.
Unfortunately, most supplements will be waste of your money. So try your best to get the majority of your nutrition from whole foods!
