You hear it on TV and you see it in magazines and in the stores...The buzzword is "Supplementation". But why is it so important, and how will
it help you?
The first and foremost reason to take supplements is to improve your
health. The Food Pyramid and Dietary Guidelines for Americans were developed as tools to get you to eat healthy and help you get the proper nutrition from the foods you do eat. It is great in theory, but Americans
have failed in reaching these goals.
How well do you do? Are you getting all the nutrients you need every day?
The number two reason you need supplementation is to help you changeyour body's composition and shape.
When you are trying to lose pounds and inches, it's almost impossible to consume enough calories and nutrients to sustain your body's needs while on a reduced calorie diet. When you don't eat enough calories, your changing body becomes deficient and undernourished and you lose muscle
instead of fat. Supplementation supplies your body with the necessary nutrients without exceeding the amount of calories you need to lose
weight.
To lose weight effectively, you need a combination of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants as well as ingredients that are going to help you burn and bind fat.
Try formulations that are scientifically designed to work
synergistically with each other to give you maximum benefits and assistance in achieving
your weight loss goals. Citrimax curbs your appetite. Chromium
Polynicotinate reduces sugar cravings and increases lean body mass and L-Carnitine is the gatekeeper for fat burning. Chitosan is an extraordinary fat binder and when combined with Citrimax, it's fat binding
action is enhanced.
While trying to improve your strength and muscle mass, deficiencies can occur because stress and exercise deplete vitamins and minerals. Proper
supplementation preserves muscle tissue and aids in the recovery process after your workouts.
Look for ingredients like HMB and L-Glutamine that play a regulatory
role in protein metabolism and help strengthen your immune system, decrease your fat stores and increase your endurance. Try a triple punch formula
of Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B6 to increase muscle strength, muscle
mass and muscle endurance.
The third reason for supplementation is to increase your performance and boost your metabolism.
As any athlete knows, proper nutrition is the key to a healthy
lifestyle, but most of us know that we don't get all the vitamins and minerals we need from the food we eat due to our active lifestyle.
Proper nutrition is needed to aid your body's ability to recover after exhausting activities and extra vitamins and minerals are needed to increase your mental and physical capacity.
Look for products that contain high potency concentrations of the
critical antioxidants like Vitamin E, Vitamin C and Beta Carotene as well as the super antioxidants in grape skin extract. It is important that the formulas also include a comprehensive complex of high potency Vitamin B
vitamins to assist in increasing energy and helps promote recovery
during and after a workout.
So how do you know if supplementation is right for you? Ask yourself these questions.
* Do you skip meals?
* Do you want to lose fat faster?
* Do you want to build more lean muscle?
