Mom always said to eat your fruits and veggies, and Mom was right. Fruits and vegetables are some of the best natural sources for critical vitamins and minerals, but too few of us heed Mom’s advice.

In September of 2009, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that only 14% of adults and only 9.5% of adolescents eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables every day. That creates a huge nutritional gap. Fortunately, the Vitality Pack with Oligo can help close that gap.

The amounts of critical nutrients in the Vitality Pack go far beyond daily minimum requirements. It contains research recommended amounts from the finest sources to help your body get more of the vitamins and minerals you need for optimal daily health.

Truly Essential Nutrition

You need vitamins and minerals to live, and you have to get them from your diet.

The most common, natural source of vitamins and minerals is fruits and vegetables, but according to a 2009 report from the Centers for Disease Control, only 14% of U.S. adults and less than 10% of U.S. teens are eating the recommended minimum of two daily servings of fruit and at least three daily servings of vegetables.1 Sobering facts like these have prompted doctors to recommend that all adults take a daily multivitamin.2

Amounts Do Matter

Taking vitamins more than once a day ensures a constant source of vital nutrition.

As humans, we are designed to eat several times a day. So it only makes sense that we need to supplement that often. Supplementing the diet with the Vitality Pack twice daily helps provide the ideal amounts of vitamins and minerals throughout the day.

This is especially true for vitamins. The body cannot store most vitamins, so they are only of benefit for a limited time. Taking a vitamin twice daily helps ensure your body is replenished with a constant supply to maintain optimal health.

Putting Long-term Benefits at Risk

You may not feel a difference when you skip, but the consequences are real.

Most vitamins and minerals provide more than one benefit to the body. Some maintain critical functions such as regulating your heart, while others maintain a strong immune system and help the body rejuvenate itself.* Your body has an incredible capacity to prioritize these benefits and allocate them, much like doctors prioritize patients in an emergency room.

In your body, vitamins and minerals are utilized first to maintain your critical life functions, and then–and only if there is enough–it will use them for rejuvenation, repair, and other more long-term benefits.* As a result, you may not feel a lot of difference if you skip a day or two, but over time, the deficiencies can add up. Many illnesses and diseases, such as osteoporosis, have a direct link to vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

BENEFICIAL OMEGA – 3 FATTY ACIDS

There is much discussion today about omega-3 fatty acids. If you’re like me, you may be wondering what they are and how will they improve my health? In my research I am discovering that there are good fats and there are bad fats. Well, omega-3 fatty acids are good fats, polyunsaturated fats, which have been proven beneficial to heart health, diabetes, cancer and rheumatoid arthritis.

These good fats actually promote heart health as they are natural blood thinners preventing blood platelets from clotting and sticking to the artery walls. This decreased clotting lessens the risk of blockage in the arteries thereby reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Not only do omega-3 fatty acids help reduce clotting, they also seem to have a positive effect on irregular heartbeats and appear to reduce occurrences of sudden death. Regular eating of foods rich in omega-3s has also proven to lower blood pressure.

Another wonderful benefit of omega-3 fatty acids is their positive effect on the health of the eye’s retina. A study by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that consumption of large amounts of fish is associated with a decreased risk of development of age-related macular degeneration.

The brain is comprised of 60% fat and therefore needs omega-3s to function properly. Researchers have discovered a connection between mood disorders and a low concentration of omega-3s in the body. Omega-3s keep the traffic pattern of thoughts, reactions and reflexes running smoothly. Studies are now under way to discover the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids in treating depression, manic depression, and other mood disorders.

The University of California in Los Angeles has conducted research that is suggesting that omega-3 fatty acids may help maintain healthy breast tissue and prevent breast cancer. Pregnant women and infants also need plenty of omega-3s to nourish the developing brain of the baby in the womb and the brain of young infants. According to the December 2003 Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, taking fish oil supplements when pregnant could protect offspring from developing allergies.

This represents only a small amount of helpful information available on the wonderful benefits of the omega 3 fatty acids. I hope you will take this information and put it into practical use by increasing the consumption of foods rich in the omega 3s.

  • Look for foods which are rich in the omega 3 fatty acids listed below.

  • Eat at least two servings per week of cold deep water fish such as tuna, herring, salmon, Atlantic mackerel, sardines, Atlantic halibut, and bluefish. These are considered to be “fatty” fish.
  • Venison and buffalo are good sources of Omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Eat a diet including tofu, soybean, flaxseed, flaxseed oil, canola oil, nuts and leafy green vegetables.
  • Take fish oil supplements.
