Lesson 2: Why Do We All Need Them?
Introduction
In an ideal world, a balanced diet would provide all the nutrients we need to maintain optimal health. However, due to factors like modern dietary habits, busy lifestyles, and specific health needs, many of us fall short in meeting our nutritional requirements. Supplements can fill in the gaps, supporting overall wellness and addressing specific deficiencies that may arise from factors like poor diet, increased nutritional needs, or certain medical conditions.
In this lesson, we’ll dive into the various reasons why supplements are important, including their role in preventing nutritional deficiencies, meeting the needs of certain life stages, and compensating for environmental or lifestyle factors that deplete essential nutrients. By understanding why supplements are necessary, we can make more informed decisions about incorporating them into our daily routines to support our health.
