"Your body responds to smart health choices the second you make them"If you ate perfectly you wouldn't have to adjust your health plan by using supplements or other treatments - you would be getting the right amount of nutrients and fuel from food. Consider the "Super Foods" listed in Chapter 4 your primary "supplements", however, due to busy lifestyles, lack of sleep, pollution, processing and growing methods of foods, etc. we not always get the amounts of nutrients and fuels our bodies need. The good news is it's never too late to make a change, your body responds to smart health choices the second you make them.
BEST BODY NOW HEALTH BASICS NEARLY EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO ARM YOUR BODY AGAINST AGING ALREADY EXISTS IN NATURE: There exists an entire host of disease-fighting vitamins, minerals and antioxidants found in fruits, vegetables, plants, spices and herbs.
GET YOUR NUTRIENTS FROM FOOD FIRST, IF POSSIBLE: It's better to get your nutrients, vitamins and minerals from natural food sources.
EVERY HUMAN BODY IS DIFFERENT: The only way to know exactly how much you really need of any supplement, vitamin or natural hormone is to get tested. It doesn't make snse to add substances you don't need, even if healthy.
YOUR BODY CHANGES EVERYDAY: Hormone levels constantly change and fluxuate based on how stressed you are, how much exercising you're doing, what you eat, and more. This is why the "one pill fits all" solution doesn't work.
EVERY FOOD OR SUPPLEMENT WORKS IN ONE OF TWO WAYS: There are no such things as foods or supplements that have neutral or zero effects on the body. With every bite you take you have two choices:
Protect and enhance cells or work against them. LOW ESTROGEN LEVELS OFTEN GO UNTREATED: Bioidentical hormones - those identical to ones already in our bodies are a safe, natural alternative to synthetic hormones to alleviate common symptoms.
LOSE THE "I HAVE TO TAKE EVERYTHING" MIND SET: Understanding your family's health issues, as well as your lifestyle today and in the past is critical to helping you determine how to supplement your health plan.
ANTIVIRALS ARE THE NEW ANTIOXIDANTS: Antivirals are the newest substances to be found in nature, possessing even more disease-fighting power than antioxidants. You cannot get enough of these antivirals. For a detailed list see pages 156 and 157.
