VITAMINS
Or do you - like I used to - subscribe to the belief that we obtain all those we need through our food? While that perhaps used to be true, modern farming methods sadly mean that it is often no longer the case. The soil in which many crops are grown these days tends to be deficient in the essential nutrients we once took for granted. An apple a day can't be relied on to keep the doctor away! Eating food that hasn't been injected with preservatives obviously helps our health, as does sourcing fruit and vegetables that are really fresh. Farmers' markets are of course ideal sources. Did you read some time back about the apples a major supermarket chain had stored for a whole year before marketing them as 'fresh'? Imagine how many nutrients such apples would have provided us with! Yes, we can help ourselves by eating fresh fruit and top quality protein foods such as fish, lean white (free range) meat, eggs, beans, lentils and grains and by avoiding too much junk, but is it enough? Not according to Patrick Holford, founder of the Institute of Optimum Nutrition, who states: "To achieve optimum health and nutrition you need to 'eat right and take a multivitamin'". He was quoting a recent headline in the New England Journal of Medicine editorial. 'The evidence suggests,' the journal went on 'that people who take such supplements and their children are healthier.' Here are four I wholeheartedly recommend (by clicking a picture or the link below, you can go straight to My On-Line Aloe Store and buy any item - all covered by Forever Living's 60-day money-back guarantee):

Last word, for now, from Patrick Holford: "When it comes to how you think and feel, vitamins and minerals are magicians. They can work real wonders in the brain, where they're used the most. B vitamins, for instance, can stave off depression, anxiety, stress, confusion, fatigue, mental dullness and emotional fragility, and can even boost IQ."
