Food supplements are daily add-on's used to improve the quality of our diet. They ensure optimal functioning of our body, mind, emotions and can be taken in the form of tablets, capsules or syrup. Food supplements are mainly micro nutrients such as Vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids and medicinal herbs.
Micro nutrients must be taken daily in small quantities to give any benefit.
We need these to prevent diseases like cancer, diabetics, arthritis and infections. It is recommended to take 5-9 portions of fresh fruit and vegetables a day to ensure adequate quantities for the daily requirement.
Our daily need for micro nutrients increase as we subject ourselves to heavy workout loads.
Antioxidants work against free radicals to neutralize and balance them. Antioxidants boost performance of immune system and allow cancer cells to return to normal.
Free radicals accumulate in cells. In sportsmen and women, this happens even more so. The more active you are, the more free radicals form because of accelerated metabolism.
Examples of antioxidants include beta-carotene, vitamins A, E and C and minerals selenium, zinc copper and manganese. Co-enzyme Q10, lycopene (in tomatoes) and many others. Eat as many fresh fruit and vegetables a day as possible and take a good quality food supplement. This might not be the cure to save you from a chronic illness, but it sure is an excellent health policy!
