Whole foods provide vital vitamins and minerals for dicreatine malate body. These vitamins and minerals support every system of the body to perform critical life sustaining functions. Listed below are some of these functions.
#1
Help to fight infections such as bacteria and viruses. This is accomplished by boosting the function of germ killer cells in the immune system. The immune system can be weakened by high stress and prolonged high cortisol states, diabetes, obesity, chronic kidney diseases, etc. Respiratory and urinary infections depend on such help.
#2
Vitamin D and trace minerals are essential to strong bones and the prevention of osteoporosis which is weak and thin bones due to poor laying down of essential minerals. Vitamin D also helps to prevent anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease. Vitamin D helps to regulate calcium and phosphorous balance in the body. It also helps the body absorb calcium and magnesium. If your vitamin D is low, you may have a magnesium and calcium deficiency.
#3
Help to neutralize or rid the body of toxins that build up daily. These toxins can be cancer causing and weaken the immune system.
#4
Help the body to absorb and digest foods.
#5
Help to promote thriving probiotics (good bacteria in your colon or gut).
#6
B12 and folate help to prevent anemia. They are necessary to maintain our sense of touch, position, vibration, pain and temperature awareness. Folate is well known to help prevent nervous system birth defects in the unborn. B12 is best absorbed complexed with other B Vitamins.
#7
B3 helps to keep our cholesterol level in check.
#8
Vitamin K helps to keep us from bleeding to death when we are injured.
#9
Help enzymes perform the body's essential physiologic functions. Enzymes are proteins that facilitate vital bodily functions.
#10
Help to maintain healthy skin and hair. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies speed up the aging process of the hair and skin.
In my medical practice, I am presented with many choices of vitamins. Most are not whole food vitamins. So, I will not use or recommend them to my patients. There is a whole food supplement that I have come across called Vital Nutrients. It is made by a company called Cyberwize. It is 100 percent whole food and provides 100 percent of the recommended daily allowances. The labeling meets my strict criteria. The whole food source for the vitamins are listed. These are not synthetic (made in the lab) vitamins. Some of the sources include: Strawberries, raspberries, wild yam, okra, apples, concord grape, oat bran, red bell pepper, oranges, pomegranates, beets, watermelon, etc.
Everyone needs to make sure they obtain 100 percent of the daily recommended allowances of vitamins and minerals from whole foods. Since most of us do not, a whole food supplement is critical.
