What does it mean and how does it relate to me?

The U.S. Recommended Daily Allowances is always a big topic among health advisors.

The USRDA guides are supposed to be the amounts of vitamins and minerals you need each day to stay healthy. It is the belief of many naturopathic doctors, herbologists and other alternative medicine practitioners that these guidelines are the minimum amounts you need to stay alive each day. Many of the health practitioners in this world don't want you to be healthy. There is not enough money in health to satisfy our government and the AMA. Read more on this subject here.

So why can't we get enough nutrition from the food we eat?

There was a time when the foods that we grew would have been enough to keep us healthy. The problem now is the fact that we don't have any good soil or water left on our planet. We are growing food in substandard soil and watering with polluted water. We then add more chemicals to the growing food to make it grow faster and keep pests off. The end result - a substandard, polluted piece of food. The pollutants are in the food, you can't wash it off. How could all the former nutrition survive this treatment? It can't!

This is why we need to add supplements to our daily intake. If you don't, you are probably not even reaching the minimum daily requirements to survive. This is why you get sick. If you are a healthy, thriving human being, you will not get sick even if you are in a room full of sick people sneezing on you.

This is a fact! You don't get sick because you come in contact with an illness. You get sick because your body is not healthy enough to fight off the foreign bodies that you come in contact with. Makes sense? Sure it does.

Age has nothing to do with it. You can stay healthy at any age by taking control of your body. It's not too late, start now and feel better tomorrow!
