Should We Be Taking Food Supplements?

Advancement in medical science has resulted in us knowing more about the human body, our ailments, what causes them, their prevention, etc. On tv last night, there was a programme that talked about a new discovery on beating skin cancer.

A dying patient was prescribed 6 to 8 tables twice a day and his skin condition miraculously cleared. He's all set to go back to work again. Of course, this is still in test phase but suffice to say that there is hope yet for a cancer cure, at least a cure for skin cancer in the near future.

Talk about health, should we be taking food supplements? Is our daily intake of natural food supplements adequate for our body? If horses are fed horse supplements, like those below, shouldn't we be taking food supplements too? At least Vitamin C if not multivits?

Superfoods for SuperPeople

Never before have we been more conscious about what we eat. Similar to computer technology, food intake also plays along the concept of GIGO (garbage in, garbage out) as we are what we eat.

Thanks to technology, we are now able to identify the foods that are good for our body as well as the not-so-good foods to avoid or to consume less of. Technology also makes it convenient and available the superfoods, Orovo, we need at arm's length.

Whatever, I still need my char kway teow once in a while. Yes, everything in moderation, including this favourite fried rice noodles that is so uniquely Malaysian!

Garden of Life

The amount of preservatives found in food is worrisome. These synthetic stuff seems to be in almost everything we eat. Greens have pesticides, unless you grow your own. If you get out, your food will be spiced with MSG, lots of it sometimes and you end up guzzling down gallons of water to quench that thirst.

Fast food is the rage these days. These food is fast, delicious and packed with little nutritional value. Thank goodness for food supplements which provides us the missing nutrients to keep us well and healthy. When it comes to food supplements, garden of life comes to mind among others.
