Why we need vitamins, supplements and antioxidants
Living in this modern world may have some adverse effects on our health.
Pollution, eating habits, and irregular exercise are some factors which can
affect our health and deplete the vitamins that our body ingests from
normal food intake.
Pollution
Industrialization has resulted in air and water pollution. Air pollution in
turn not only pollutes the air we breath but it also depletes the earth's ozone
layer allowing the intensity of the sun's rays to be too harsh for our body.
This we need extra vitamins for the conditions that pollution has brought in.
Eating habits
Unhealthful eating habits leads to improper nutrition. Most often we favor
those delicious looking foods, which contain lots of calories and sweets, from
those drab looking foods but which contain the right nutrients and vitamins for our body.
Flavorful junk foods, which may be too hard to resist, occupies
some snack portions for a lot of people especially children and students. In the
long run, it may be harmful to your health. One effect is that it depletes your
vitamins and antioxidant levels and your eyes which need antioxidants to neutralize free
radicals may in the long run be subject to macular degeneration.
Stress
Urban life can be very stressful making our immune system perform a lot
lesser which could allow disease to set in. Getting late for work, getting angry
with someone who offends you, meeting deadlines, etc.. can be very stressful and
can deplete some of the vitamins stored in your body..
Getting stressed a lot of times during the day can lower your immune
system and hence, your susceptibility to sickness. Extra vitamins can help
keep up the need for those that were used when in a stressful situation.
Maybe the perfect way to be healthy is to live in a place where there
are no pollution, be able to eat fruits and vegetables daily, exercise regularly, not
being subject to stressful situations. But this is an imperfect world and we
are not perfect. That's why we need vitamins and supplements to keep our
health near perfect and hopefully to be more productive citizens of the world.
