Nutrients – Are you getting enough?

Roses are red

Violets are Blue

Consume the proper nutrients

To avoid catching the Flu!

Okay so poetry is not my strong suit, but don’t let my pathetic attempt at rhythmry (yes I know it’s not a real word, I made it up. This is my blog and I can do what I want) distract you form the message at hand;

Nutrients – Are you getting enough?

“You can bet your fruits and vegetables I am! I follow Canada’s Food Guide and try to get all my servings in”

Well that’s start, unfortunately though following your country’s food guide can sometimes be misleading.

I know…

             I know…

…Call My Bluff?

 

I know what you’re thinking, and NO this is NOT a Photoshop! I found it in an article online. Click here to be redirected and hopefully alter your faith in Canada’s Food Guide recommendations for the better!

As trusting as our Government is, one thing you have to remember is that their main concern is NOT to make you healthy! Now I'm not here to open political debates - that is what the media’s for. My objective is to make you think, more importantly; think for yourself! But for arguments sake let’s compare:


 People Who Benefit form a Healthier You:

• Yourself
• Your Loved Ones
• Fitness Centers

People Who Benefit form an Unhealthily You:

• Doctors
• Healthcare Provide
• Pharmaceutical Companies
• Tobacco Agencies
• Fast Food Companies
• Drug Stores
• Personal Trainers
• Dietitians
• Motivational Speakers
• Health Clinics

Let’s not forget about the people that reap the benefits of taxing all this junk;

THE GOVERNMENT!

Seeing as how nutritional government sources are just about as reliable as the weather man I argue you to following the old saying;

if you want something done right, do it yourself!

Educating yourself on the proper vitamins that the body needs will not only improve your over all health, it will give you a reason to use the internet for something other then creeping Facebook or reading “Tweets”.
 Livestrong.com offers reliable, in-depth listings of each vitamin, while providing great examples for whole food sources to which you can obtain them. So if you can put Facebook on hold for a couple minutes, click here to conclude your neglect for essential Vitamins and Nutrients.
 So in the words of my good friend Chris Rock:



“They don’t want you to find a cure for things, there’s no money in that. The money is in the comeback”
