We do have a choice when it comes to our wellness. This booklet emphasizes one critical phase of the pyramid, Nutritional Supplementation and why it is impossible to achieve, maintain, or regain optimal health without proper supplementation. We begin by discussing general nutrition by addressing the questions, What is it? - Do we need it? - How do we get it? By answering these questions we discover that nutrition is the process by which a living being takes in food and uses it to live and grow. We can supply the vital nutrients that proper nutrition provides us in two ways - dietary intake and nutritional supplementation. These quality nutrients build healthy cells, which build healthy tissues, which build healthy organs, which build healthy systems. Cells > Tissues > Organs > Systems = Life The Critical Need for Nutritional Supplementation and How To Do It not only addresses why it is imperative to implement proper nutritional supplementation, but as the title suggests we also address how to implement a program to fit your individual wellness goals and challenges. This is accomplished by following the Nutritional Supplementation Guideline Pyramid. Specialty Products (holistic medicine chest) Targeted Product (targeted wellness challenges) Adaptogen Product (body balance / homeostasis) Foundational Product (solid beginning) We provide descriptions of several high quality products to fit into each phase of the pyramid and resources for many additional products that may be of interest. We stand behind each and every product and company to be among the highest quality available anywhere. They will provide the benefits you are seeking. The resources alone are worth the investment as the information is life enhancing, life giving, life saving. In addition to providing simple guidelines to help develop a nutritional supplement program, the booklet also has dietary intake suggestions. We provide formulas to determine your ideal/optimal health weight and body composition, basal metabolism, exercise/activity and occupational calories burned, and the proper way to divide your caloric intake between the energy nutrients of carbohydrate, protein, and fat. This information will greatly assist you in providing the correct balance of energy/calories to achieve and support your wellness goals.
