Renewal Supplements
Nutritional Insurance
Without optimum nutrition, you cannot achieve optimum health. And
without supplements, you cannot achieve optimum nutrition. It's
as simple as that.
It would be wonderful if the human body came equipped with a device
that could monitor levels of all of the important nutrients and sound
an alarm when any ran dangerously low. Then you could just replenish
those that had fallen to suboptimum levels. Unfortunately, even
scientists armed with computers have found this task impossible. As
yet, you have no way of anticipating what your body's demand for
each nutrient might be on any given day.
Because of the daily changes in nutrient supply and demand, your
best bet is to provide your body with nutritional insurance through
daily supplementation.
Supplementation at Optimum Daily Allowance levels can protect you
against deficiencies, even on those days when your body's nutrient
demands are high or your nutrient intake is iffy. This way, you can
be certain that your body always has enough of the nutritional raw
materials it needs to administer the Renewal process.
Nutritional Teamwork
Nutrients are specialists. Each performs a specific set of tasks
within your body, sustaining life by supporting cellular protection,
repair, and replacement. For Renewal to function efficiently, your
body requires a continuous supply of about 50 nutrients--none of
which it can make for itself. These nutrients support the synthesis
of chemicals that your cells need to survive.
A chronic nutrient deficiency undermines health and promotes
degenerative disease, although the symptoms may not appear for
many years. Running low on beta-carotene, for instance, opens the
door to most types of cancer. A shortage of calcium depletes bone
mass, which eventually leads to osteoporosis. Too little folic
acid precipitates heart attacks and, in women, cervical dysplasia
(the development of precancerous cervical cells). A depleted supply
of selenium weakens the immune system.
Getting Started: The Basic Components to Your Supplement Strategy
Choosing a broad-spectrum collection of nutritional supplementation
helps protect against disease and the effects of aging as well as
maintain optimum health. The seven general categories are:
Daily supplementation provides powerful protection against
age-accelerating deficiencies by supplying all of the nutritional
building blocks that your body requires. When you sustain this
nurturing environment for a long period of time--months, years,
even decades--each and every cell in your body becomes healthier.
These new, supercharged cells are eager to work, and they can
perform their specialized functions at peak efficiency. Nerve cells
transmit messages better, intestinal cells digest and transport
nutrients better, immune cells protect against cancer, allergies,
and infections better. Each of the 100 trillion cells in your body
does its job with greater ease and effectiveness. Together, they
translate to a healthier you.
