Key Nutrition Concepts

Natural Vitamins

Natural vitamins are organic food substances found in living things, primarily plants. With few exceptions the body cannot manufacture or synthesize its own vitamins. Vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients must be supplied in the diet or in dietary supplements. They are essential to the normal functioning of our bodies. Vitamins are necessary for our growth, vitality and general well-being. They are even more important for children.

How They Work

Vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients help regulate metabolism, help convert fat and carbohydrates into energy and assist in forming bone and tissue. Some people think that vitamins can replace food. But they cannot. In fact, vitamins are often assimilated better while injesting food. It is generally advisable for them to be taken with a meal.

Nature's Remedies

Our bodies are designed to respond to simple remedies, provided to us in nature. Good nutrition, regular exercise, pure water, warm sunshine, moderation, fresh air, adequate rest and trust in God are complimentary and a firm foundation to good health.

Key Nutrients Lost

Our environment has become damaged. The water and air are polluted and toxic. We have high levels of stress, little time to exercise and poor quality sleep. Nutrients in our food supply are depleted through non-sustainable farming practices and modern factory processing. Our bodies need quality nutrients in adequate supply in order to grow, fight off disease and stay healthy. A variety of quality nutrients can be found through this website.
