Our bodies are amazing! Every moment of every day, the cells in our bodies are creating energy, building tissues, communicating with other cells, digesting food, pumping blood, generating movement, transporting nutrients and oxygen, synthesizing hormones and neurotransmitters, eliminating toxins and waste material, and protecting and defending our cells from unfriendly bacteria, viruses and mutant cells. However, while all of this is miraculous, none of it happens by magic. To accomplish all these vital, life-sustaining tasks, the cells in our bodies require a complex variety of nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, coenzymes and enzymes. Without adequate amounts of these fundamental nutrients, it is impossible for our cells to carry out the thousands of biochemical and metabolic processes responsible for maintaining optimal health. Nutrients are the catalysts for every life-supporting process in the body.

Once upon a time, humans could obtain essential nutrients from their diets fairly easily. For numerous reasons, though, this is no longer the case. Dietary and lifestyle choices are partly to blame. Over the last 100 years, our lifestyles have become increasingly sedentary. As a result, our caloric requirements have decreased, and we require less food to maintain a healthy body weight. Thus, our consumption of nutrient-rich foods has declined accordingly. Moreover, most of the known essential nutrients are found in fruits, greens and other vegetables, sea vegetables, herbs and algae — foods that very few modern people consume generously every day. The problem of inadequate consumption of nutrient-rich foods is compounded by conventional farming practices, which deplete nutrients and enzymes in the soil, making it difficult for fruits and vegetables to absorb sufficient amounts of these vital factors. These fruits and vegetables begin to lose nutrient value the moment they are harvested. During the approximately three weeks it takes for a fruit or vegetable to reach the plate of the consumer, around half of its nutritional value will disappear! We then add insult to injury by processing and preparing foods in ways that strip or diminish their remaining nutrient value.

While the nutrient density of our food has diminished, our need for the cofactors found in food has increased. Our lives are filled with unprecedented levels of physical, psychological and environmental stress, to which our bodies must adapt. This puts an even greater strain on our systems at a time when our nutrient intake is declining. Think for a moment about the presence of chemicals in our modern life. In the not-too-distant past, the average person was exposed to 50 toxic chemicals a day, at the most. Today, that number is closer to 5,000. This adds an enormous burden to the body, as these chemicals damage cells and must be removed from the body or neutralized quickly.

When we consider the variety of ways in which our diets and lifestyles no longer resemble those of every generation that has come before us, we can easily understand the extreme importance of supplementing with an organic whole-food vitamin, mineral and herbal formula such as Vita Synergy. Vita Synergy’s ideal blend of organic nutrients and herbal extracts provides a myriad of valuable vitamins and minerals, including antioxidants, necessary for every system in your body to optimally perform its life-sustaining work. When your body is fully nourished at the cellular level, you naturally experience authentic energy and renewed vitality as your body regenerates itself, creating glowing, radiant health and well-being.
