When thinking about food, you need to consider how it’s grown, because not all food is created equal. The plants you eat get their nutrients from the roots and the roots get those nutrients from the soil they’re grown in. What kind of nutrients are they getting from that soil?
Studies on New Zealand soil have shown that it lacks some key nutrients like ​​selenium, iodine, zinc, chromium and boron. These are essential for things like thyroid function, immune function, cell growth, and metabolism. You can see why these are important for your diet!
In the modern world, the demand for food is much greater, as is your desire to eat all foods, at any time of year. To keep up with this demand, farmers use alternative methods to grow food - ensuring that the plants are always exposed to (artificial) sunlight, carbon, and nitrogen. But, the price you pay for this convenience is that foods have fewer nutrients.
Another factor to consider is that modern-day lifestyles increase your need for high-quality nutrients. In times of stress, your body uses more B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium and zinc (to name just a few!). If you are pregnant, going through puberty, experiencing menopause, or generally pushing your body hard, you put your body under stress, so it needs more vitamins and minerals.
Vitamins and minerals are essential to health and are considered the building blocks of life. They’re responsible for energy, immune health, cell growth and repair, as well as supporting long term health and wellbeing. In addition to those essential vitamins and minerals, omega 3 and probiotics are on the list of daily nutrients your body needs.
The active ingredients in a good-quality fish oil (omega 3) are DHA and EPA which are each hugely beneficial for a lot of areas of health, including immune support, comfort, skin health and heart health. Fish oil is considered an essential fatty acid because your body needs it but can’t produce or store it - just like vitamin C - which is why taking it as a supplement each day is just as important as taking a multivitamin.
Probiotics are just as important, particularly for your gut. All health starts in the gut, including mood and immune health, and you can support your gut by taking a daily probiotic to ensure that the good bacteria outweighs the bad. Because you need energy for everything we do, you feel better when you eat the right nutrients. A healthy diet is important, but there’s room for improvement, so look at how you can add extra nutritional support to your diet.
The BePure Everyday Wellness Pack is designed to support all areas of health, providing what you need for baseline health in one easy pack. It includes a multivitamin, a probiotic, and a fish oil, taken daily to ensure you get the nourishing nutrients you need, hassle free.
