We all know intuitively that good nutrition is important for good health, but we often behave as if we don’t. Let’s be clear though: if you’re not getting good nutrition, sooner or later your health will suffer.
Theoretically, we should be getting all the nutrients we need in our diets. For practical purposes
The answer is to improve your diet as best you can and then add supplements to ensure you don’t fall into a deficiency state. The flip side of that coin is that you don’t want to overdo it either, because megadosing on micronutrients can be harmful to your health. For example, doses of Vitamin E greater than 100 International Units (IU) are associated with the development of certain cancers. Yet many sources of Vitamin E come in 400 IU capsules! So you do have to be somewhat careful and smart about supplementing your diet.
That’s what I’m for, to help you get good nutrition and be careful and smart about it. Nobody needs 1,000 or 2,000 times their daily requirement of anything!
