Supplements: Are they really necessary?
by Derek Burreson
I came across this article today that I wanted to share that asks if supplements are really necessary. The argument seems to be that if we eat a well a balanced diet, we don’t really need them. The article states that supplements help to bridge the nutritional gap from what our bodies require on a daily basis for proper growth, structure and function and the nutrients we are receiving. In no way should supplements act as replacements for proper nutrition but we should all strive for a healthy balance in our diet. As we put increased demands on our bodies, we will require more nutrients for our biochemical machine to operate properly and supplements are part of that role.
