Welcome to Optimal Health, where we are committed to nutrition and vitamins for health, life and longevity.
Sadly many are living way below Optimal Health and are unaware of the tremendous effect that proper nutrition and vitamins can have to their overall well-being. Daily we are being bombarded with toxins in the air we breathe, the food we eat and even the water we wash in. Physical and emotional stress also takes its toll and our bodies need the right kind of nutrients, vitamins and minerals in order to continue functioning optimally. When these are not provided from the diet we eat, disease and general health and nutrition problems surface as a result.
Many people are in the process of developing potentially life threatening diseases due to excessive sugar intake, processed foods and particularly hydrogenated fats, as well as stress and lack of exercise. It is no wonder that statistics show that a staggering eight out of ten leading causes of death are diet and lifestyle related.
Further to this there is the major issue of being overweight that so many struggle with. No one wants to be overweight, or indeed underweight for that matter, and there are of course a number of contributing factors to this but by far the main reason of weight problems is a simple lack of understanding of what we are putting into our mouths in the way of food.
Many of the foods that are marketed and sold in our shops and supermarkets have been refined so much that they are of little nutritive value and are often loaded with sugar, bad fats and additives. As a result of this, statistics now tell us that most adults in the UK are actually overweight with 18% being classed as obese.
Sadly children too have become victims with a study of 694 children showing 1 in 3 girls aged 11 were overweight and more than 1 in 8 obese. Twenty percent of boys of the same age were also overweight with twenty percent obese. Sedentary lifestyles and sub-optimal health were blamed.
So what is Optimal Health and how can you get it? It is much more than just not being sick, it means feeding your body the right nutrients, essential fats, vitamins and antioxidants that it needs to perform at it's very best. This results in greater energy, better brain function, disease prevention, enjoyable moods, restful sleep and even slower ageing. These are things that everybody desires, and it is a lack of proper nutrition that increases our vulnerability to disease and fatigue related problems.
