Does the ridiculous silver suit, that makes me sweat, work to make me skinny and beautiful?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nIt was simple to dismiss the absurdities. No, the vibrating phallic-looking device you put batteries into being marketed on an infomercial won\u2019t help you look like the models on the commercial. No, the gooey liquid made from select grapes won\u2019t stop you from aging, and no, the weight loss earrings won\u2019t create a weight loss aura around you that speeds metabolism (yes, that was real).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now the good news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you maintain a lifestyle inclusive of a synergistic integration of sound exercise and healthful whole food nutrition, creatine monohydrate can increase muscle size, vitamin C can aid immune function, and a B Complex can play a significant role in supporting cellular health, brain function, and energy levels, and that\u2019s a tiny sampling of the many nutritional aids that over time, can make a measurable different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lest you think I\u2019m dismissing the role of nutritional aids in supporting optimal health, I\u2019ll go a step further. There are a number of supplements that, in 21st century civilized society are vitally important. The new question, related to supplements, should be, \u201cwhich ones will serve me best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For clarity, understand this. In most cases a supplement is a nutrient or a mix of nutrients we can find in food. You\u2019ll find antioxidant blends, adaptagen complexes, and \u201cproprietary formulas\u201d that are part of nature\u2019s miracle, delivered in delivery systems that we call mushrooms, broccoli, kale, wild-caught fish, or grass-fed beef. In nature, micronutrients are delivered along with macros and any attempt to replicate that which the Earth produces will fall short. Combinations of nutrients offer health and energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nothing \u201cworks\u201d in and an of itself, yet we have to acknowledge that our environment, science, and the pursuit of convenience have made obtaining optimal nutrition through the foods we eat a very real challenge. A bit of wisdom and effort can lead to an understanding and regular regimen of nutritional supplements that play a role in a thrilling outcome, make sense to invest in, and make you \u201cbetter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
