What do we mean by this? Our diets are not complete. As a nation, we eat poor-quality foods that have been stripped of \"\"<\/a>nutrients. Most of us do not consume enough fresh fruits and vegetables. Many of us get our whole grains from instant rice, refined wheat breads, pastas and cereal. We eat a tremendous amount of prepackaged and pre-made meals. One-quarter of Americans eat at fast food restaurants each day.<\/p>\n

We eat plenty, but we are still starving. The foods we eat are not providing our bodies with the nutrition they need to survive and be healthy. We are starving our bodies and we are sick. We suffer from diabetes, heart attacks, obesity, and the list goes on and on.<\/p>\n

Given proper nutrition, the human body has an amazing ability of keeping itself healthy. If properly fed and given the right nutrients, the human body is designed to repair itself. To do so, we need to eat a healthier diet, exercise, and take high-quality supplements made from whole foods. Whole food supplements supply our bodies with the nutrients we are not getting from our diet \u2013 all the vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, and phytonutrients that foods possess \u2013 in the way that nature intended, in a whole food form.<\/p>\n

Whole food supplements are made by concentrating foods for use in supplements. When concentrated correctly, they supply a multitude of the food\u2019s components. Foods provide nutrients that work together to provide you with optimal nutrition for good health. However, not all whole food supplements are the same. Many supplements available in today\u2019s marketplace range in quality. Companies are riding the wave of supplement popularity rather than focusing on commitment and quality.<\/p>\n

For these reasons and many more, Urban Acupuncture Center both recommends and sells Standard Process whole food supplements at our office. We suggest that all of our patients start with a basic whole food multivitamin called Catalyn. More on Catalyn in our next newsletter.<\/p>\n
