Are supplements necessary?
Deborah explains how supplements are not the answer for good health.
Are you slave to the one-a-day habit? One multivitamin, one folate, calcium, zinc, magnesium or iron supplement? What about one-a-day probiotics, echinacea, herbal ‘better sleep’ pills, fibre supplements … others?
Are supplements really necessary? Some are taken to try and heal an ailment - but many are taken ‘just in case’. But how do you know what’s inside? And whether they will interact with each other . . . or your medications?
The truth is many supplements do contain things most of us are unable to process. Aside from the risk of overdosing - they all give side effects.
And despite popular belief that supplements can boost nutrient deficiencies - or help stave off winter chills … it can work the opposite way. That means you’ll be more vulnerable to colds and ‘flu - and Covid-19 (!).
The bottom line is - nobody gets healthier by swallowing more pills. Anything ‘foreign’ in your system immediately weakens your immunity, leaving you vulnerable to infection - and fostering inflammatory and autoimmune disease.
So why not tackle symptoms from the other direction? Instead of trying to counteract them with tablets - why not seek out the cause?
The medical literature now carries hundreds of studies linking poor health and serious disease . . . with common food toxins: caseins, glutens, phytic acid, solanines and others.
Learn how to avoid them with a low toxin diet …
Your best defence is still the low toxin diet - or a diet free of gluten, legumes, dairy food and nightshades. Don’t know how to get started? Take it step by step with the LoTox Living Kit.
