Three Multivitamins

Did you know how hard it is to get all the basic nutrients we need from our diet alone?

Without question, the best way to nourish our bodies is through nutritious food, ideally organic food

Why organic? A few reasons.

First, certified organic food isn't loaded with all the pesticides and herbicides and artificial fertilizers of conventionally grown food. Those chemicals are said to be safe, but a few studies I've read make me wonder. I'd just prefer my produce to grow naturally just in case all those chemicals some day prove to be dangerous.

Another reason I like organic food is because I really believe its much more nutritious. Doug showed me a study once that compared organic grapes and conventional grapes. The organic grapes had ten times greater antioxidant activity than the conventional grapes. That was eye-opening!

Another report by Dr. Al Sears said that you need 10 servings of vegetables to equal just one serving from 50 years ago. And the USDA says that since 1975, vitamin A from apples is down 41%, calcium from broccoli is down 50%, and vitamin C from cauliflower is down 45%. That's a huge decline in only 20 years.

Maybe it's because the plants don't have to work as hard at pulling nutrients from the soil when they're covered with artificial fertilizer. Maybe its because the soil itself has lost vital nutrients because we've stopped letting the land rest like the Bible says. Whatever the reason, the bottom line is this: It is harder and harder to depend on our food alone to give us all the nutrition we need.

But, what if you're like me? I live in the country in Spooner, Wisconsin. We're a long ways from huge organic marketplaces. And we can only order so much by mail, or else it'll go bad. That's the last thing we need, especially when you factor in the extra dollars you spend when you choose to buy organic.

So I've made a decision for my family. My wife, my kids, and I take good foundational supplements every single day, just for insurance. I start with a good multivitamin and mineral - one that is loaded with more than just the minimum RDAs. Nothing could be more important than this. I also add things like CoQ10, fiber, probiotics, and essential fatty acids. Knowing that my family gets the nutrients they need, through food AND supplements just gives me peace of mind.
