Why should I take supplements?

Why shouldn’t you take supplements is a probably a more appropriate question. Many people respond to this by saying you can get all you need from a balanced diet. This is very bad advice for two main reasons:

1. Who eats a balanced diet? When people say eat a balanced diet have you ever wondered what that means…? A balanced diet requires a perfect balance of the 3 macronutrients and thousands of micronutrients at every meal - even if you are eating incredibly healthy grass fed meats and bio-dynamic vegetable sources this perfect balance would be impossible to achieve. 
2. Not possible in the modern day - we once lived in a world where food was naturally free from pesticides, herbicides fungicides, GM foods and pollution. Unfortunately this time passed us by about 10,000 years ago and is getting worse and worse by the day. This has had a serious effect even on the highest grade of food available today (biodynamic - grade above organic). Our soil and air quality is so poor today it is impossible to grow foods how mother nature once intended. Throw into the mix all the preservatives, sweeteners, processes, stabalisers, hormones and genetically modified organisms now used by food manufacturers we all need support no matter how good our nutrition is. 

As an absolute basic day to day supplement protocol you should use a high quality, organically sourced, pesticide free multi-vitamin (Super Supplemental), Omega-3 fish oil and a greens drink (liquid chlorophyll (or Green Zone - born2move’s personal favorite). You can purchase all of these supplements at a 20% discount from Optimise or via our online shop.
