Three real-life reasons why you need health supplements today:

Reason #1

“…it appears prudent for all adults to take [health] supplements”

“…suboptimal vitamin status is associated with many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and osteoporosis.”

Vitamins for Chronic Disease Prevention in Adults
JAMA, Jun 2002; 287

These quotes come from the Journal of the American Medical Association, a highly cited weekly medical journal that publishes peer-reviewed original medical research findings.

Doctors recommend we need health supplements to stay healthy!

Reason #2

The latest dietary recommendations from the federal government are for a total of seven (7!) serves of fruit & vegetables per day  – two fruit and FIVE veg.  Most Australians eat half the recommended servings. Supplements are the easiest and most obvious way of filling the gap.

Reason #3

In 2005 the Australian Bureau of Statistics released a report stating the productivity output of farmers in the past 30 years had increased 96%.

In other words,  farmers had doubled their production over 30 years.

Think about it:
– Same land…
– Same 12 months in a year…
– Twice the fruits, vegetables and grains.

All this despite the worst drought in Australia’s history.

This isn’t just about bigger tractors…

Something has to give.

And what gives  is the quality of the food we eat from our land.  As a result, what gives is our health – my health, your health and the health of our children.

This is not a criticism of farmers – they face overwhelming pressures from Big Business.  They are forced to produce more for less or lose their careers and their homes.  Big Business (largely) is not interested in our well-being, our longevity or our quality of life.   It’s interested in the share price, this week.

That’s not going to change anytime soon.  But our health crisis needs immediate action.

Our hospitals are more full and our children are more sick than ever before.  The number of diseases both mental and physical are at the highest in history.

If you are well, you can keep it that way or even improve it.

If you are unwell, you can feel better.

It all comes down to what we feed the marvelous tiny building blocks of our bodies – our cells.

The cells of our body are always reproducing themselves and use the fuel of food to create the next generation.  In the same way poor quality petrol or gasoline in your car’s fuel tank will keep your car from running well, poor nutrition in our food keeps our cells from running well.

Our bodies need the right balance of nutrients we’re all familiar with like vitamin B and C, and minerals such as Iron and Zinc.  Our bodies also need thousands of ultra-trace and micro-minerals, and play a major role in our nutrition.

Fortunately, whole foods and whole-food health supplements contain a broad spectrum of nutrients which cannot be found in synthetic vitamins.

So if you too want a natural health supplements that will keep your body feeling energetic and healthy for years to come – GUARANTEED, drop us a line or give us a call now!

Is there a difference between synthetic nutritional supplements and natural ones – apart from price?  For that matter, do we really need to supplement our nutrition at all?

Nutrition is the science of providing the materials necessary to support the life of the body through food. Many common health problems can be prevented or reduced with healthy nutrition. Nutritional supplements are helpful when food nutrition is inadequate.

Why do we need nutritional supplements?

Our bodies are marvellous chemical factories.  They perform an incredibly complex web of chemical reactions every moment of every day. Medical science is only beginning to understand the body’s beauty and complexity.

Yet today’s processed food, over-worked agricultural land, and high-fat diets do not allow the body to absorb the right balance of nutrition from food alone.

Nutritional supplements are no longer an option, they’re a necessity.

Is there a difference between natural and synthetic nutritional supplements?

The body absorbs the nutrients in food as part of the digestion process, mostly in the small intestine.

Many nature-purists claim natural substances can be absorbed better by the body than synthetic.  Yet clinical studies have shown there is little or no difference in absorption rate.

But – that’s not the whole story.

The real difference is what happens after the nutrients are absorbed.

Each chemical reaction in our body leads to another.  A complex chain of many reactions happens each time we take a mouthful of food. But if that substance is synthetic, the natural chain of events breaks down somewhere along the line.  The natural sequence of creating new healthy cells is disrupted.  And the full benefit of the nutritional supplement you intended is lost.

Problems with most nutritional supplements:

Marketers have led us to believe a one-a-day vitamin tablet alone will “do the job”. What they want us to ignore is….

  • Our bodies evolved to consume whole-food, using the natural balance of vitamins and minerals working in synergy.
  • Pills are hard to digest.  Pills are largely manufactured as a compressed powder.  Often that compression is so strong that the pill doesn’t break down in the digestion process and passes straight through.
  • Synthetic substances do not behave in our bodies the same way natural ones do.  As a result, your body tends to simply flush away much of the ingredients in the synthetic nutrition supplement.
  • Studies are now uncovering harmful consequences of consuming some synthetic vitamins.

Whole-food broad-spectrum is best.

Every person is bio-chemically unique. Individual nutritional imbalances and weaknesses vary.  For a nutritional supplement to be effective it must be broad spectrum.    This is almost impossible to achieve by manufactured, synthetic products.  Instead, it is best to use a natural whole-food, “the way nature intended”.

Natural broad-spectrum nutritional supplements provide your body with a wide range of vitamins and minerals in balance with each other.  This enables your body to use what is most needed at the time.

Remember, no nutritional supplement can fix poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle.  A healthy diet, regular exercise and a good nutritional supplement together provide the best foundation for a long and healthy life.

We acknowledge synthetic vitamins can serve a role where natural vitamins and minerals are not readily available.  But the big vitamins companies are about their own financial rewards, not in making up for deficiencies in our diets.

There is a growing body of evidence showing the artificial daily vitamin supplements may actually cause more harm than good.

How real people have found their lives and health restored

Please note: For legal reasons, we are not allowed publish the product name BodyBalance in people’s stories. So we have substituted the codename BB where you would expect to see the name.We hope you get as much giggle out of the rules from “those who must be obeyed” as we have.

When a good friend of mine first introduced me to BB I thought he was crazy.  I told him there was nothing out there that could help me with my long-term sleeping problems.  He kept encouraging me to try BB so I did.  After about six months on the product I noticed my sleep pattern starting to change.  No longer was I waking up choking and gasping for breath.  I was actually getting a good night’s sleep. I have been told when you dream at night you are in a deep, deep sleep.  I am a dreamer now.

Thanks to BB I am a new person full of energy and have lost over 25 pounds.  I have been on the product for over four years. I would suggest to start taking BB and stay with it until you get the results you want.  Remember, your body didn’t get the way it is in one day, so it will take longer than a day to restore it back to good health.
