Rethink Your Daily Multivitamin/Mineral

2012-01-10

Get more than just vitamins and minerals. Plant-based foods including fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, herbs, spices, oils, and grains provide more than macronutrients (protein, fats, and carbohydrates/fiber) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). Plants are also a source of thousands of bioactive secondary metabolites called phytonutrients that are known to support the body in multiple ways. Eating plans that include a number of plant foods rich in phytonutrients, like the traditional Mediterranean diet, are associated with increased health and longevity.

Non-essential, but extremely beneficial. There are no established daily intake requirements (yet), but scientists continue to uncover the many benefits of phytonutrients such as resveratrol, lutein, lycopene, citrus bioflavonoids, polyphenols, and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). These individual phytonutrients may target different health systems, and they may also complement each other to support the body in general ways like protecting cells from oxidative stress that can increase with age, pollutants, unhealthy lifestyle habits, and even certain processes with the body itself. That's why health experts recommend eating a minimum of five daily servings of a wide variety of colorful, plant-based foods to supply essential nutrients (proteins, fats, carbohydrates/fiber, vitamins, minerals) plus a spectrum of valuable phytonutrients.

Where most multivitamin/minerals fall short. Scientific opinion now suggests that a multi with only "essential" nutrients does not address the benefits of a daily intake of important phytonutrients. But merely adding a few plant extracts or phytonutrients at clinically insignificant levels may not be the answer either. But there is a brave new, scientifically tested combination of phytonutrients and essential nutrients that may just change everything.

Get smart about daily phytonutrients. Schedule an appointment for a Complimentary LifeStyle Assessment to learn more about daily supplementation with a smart combination of phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals that provides a completely new approach to daily nutrition to complement even the healthiest of diets.
