You are what you eat
Have you heard the old saying “you are what you eat.” If you stick to a nutritious diet full of proteins, vitamins and minerals, your body reflects it. You feel healthy, energized and just all-around great.
However today we primarily eat junk food and suffer the consequences of not giving our bodies what they need to thrive. Around the world people have started eating more commercially reared meat, commercial and highly processed dairy products, vegetable oils, sugary foods, and alcoholic beverages. All such processed food products are high in calories or energy but low in micronutrients such as Vitamins, Minerals, Amino and Fatty acids. Consumption of such food starves your body of necessary elements required for it to function properly.
Diet and Lifestyle are major factors that influence susceptibility to many diseases.
Why does VitSupp.com exist?
Millions of people around the world are suffering health concerns which can be addressed with simple lifestyle changes. Such people may sub-optimally live with their health concerns all their life.
At the same time our food simply does not supply the fuel (nutrients) to keep us at the forefront of the world. To stay ahead we may need to alter the food and physical activity of our daily routine so that our body and mind can function upto the expectations.
Understanding connection between diet and health concerns may help you make a better dietary choice, Therefore we have decided start VitSupp.com.
VitSupp.com Vision: To be a Global health and wellness platform by simplifying knowledge and making it available to readers worldwide.
