Filling the gaps...

Becky and I are very intentional about finding and buying healthy food.  We'll travel a bit farther and spend a bit more to get it. Nutrients are the body's raw material to do all the complex things it has to do.  We've decided to give it the best we can. Over the years we've grown our own fruits and veggies, raised our own chickens for meat and eggs, and found local sources for good food as well when possible.
But, since Becky's first round of Cancer back in 1992 we've always supplemented with high quality vitamins and more.  I had a conversation once with a professional Nutritionist (who was not a supplement fan) and she said: "There are only three reasons for anyone to supplement:
1) The food supply is weak or compromised;
2) The person is under high stress; or
3) They are already health compromised and need extra nutrition to fight to stay strong."

We agree! And think we all fit into at least one of those categories!

I've got a growing list of reasons why we think our food supply system is not giving us enough. (That list is for another post - contact me if you want a conversation).

Stress? That has become the norm for most of us.

In Becky's compromised health status, even if she has the best healthy food around, she can't eat enough volume of it to give her body the amount of nutrients it needs to stay strong.

Truth is, 50% of the population has come to a similar uneasy conclusion and are supplementing in some way or other.  The problem with that is similar to #1 from my Nutritionist friend - The supplement industry is unregulated and so "Buyer Be Ware". Quality does make a difference.

We've used NeoLife since 1992.  My father introduced the company to us then and he had been taking them from the same company since 1975.  Plenty of testimonies of our own (I stopped getting sick with flu, colds, etc) and know many others as well... stories of healthy and maintained weight loss, diabetes control, migraine headache relief, chronic fatigue relief. These are not miracle pills - they just provide what the body needs to be able to do what it was designed to do.

We'd welcome a conversation. We know you'd be blessed as well.
