Multivitamin Helps Detox - Noah Barrett

As much as we may think we are eating balanced diets, unless you grow your own organic foods, most consumers are not getting the proper amount of vitamins and minerals from the food supply. Corporate farms are depleted in nutrients and saturated with chemical pesticides and fertilizers, especially on corporate farms.

It is merely an "insurance policy" to supplement with a natural, organic multi-vitamin and mineral at least five days a week. If you have sufficient vitamins in your diet, it doesn't hurt to keep a healthy vitamin supplement available for special times of need.

* The food we eat is for the most part "mass manufactured" and compared to 50 or 100 years ago, depleted in essential minerals, vitamins and may have genetically modified aspects which are very foreign to our bodies.
* Many people eat non-foods like MSG, saccharine, nutrisweet, splenda, artificial colorants and flavors, that put stress on our systems.
* Almost all foods have pesticides, chemicals (PCB's, Dioxins), Fluorides, that come into our bodies each day.
* Most meats have antibiotic, hormone, and chemical residues.
* Most fish have mercury and chemical residues.
* Even if we are drinking purified water, most of us shower in water that is full of chemicals, or sit in jacuzzi's or swimming pools that are full of chemicals that enter our system every day that must be dealt with.
* Our foods are contaminated with phthalates from plastic wraps, Styrofoam, Tupperware, and non stick coatings from fry pans, that enter our system.
* Our clothes, mattresses, and sheets, are full of chemicals, flame retardants, preservatives, and anti-fungals, that enter our bodies through the skin.
* Our air is full of carbon monoxide, petrochemicals, lead, mercury, plastics fumes, etc. which enter our bodies when we breathe.

In an ideal world we would not be exposed to these toxins.

In an ideal world our food would nourish us and give us the nutrition we need to replenish our systems.

Since the world is far from ideal, our bodies, to survive, need much higher levels of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants just to cope with this non-ideal environment. Getting enough from our depleted foods is simply not enough.

Thus to flourish, we must supplement.
