Why YOR Health Supplements?

Many people wake up and go about each day feeling tired, fatigued and run-down. We are conditioned to think that this is how 'normal' is meant to feel. Soon we forget what it's like to spring out of bed every morning and feel really good. And this is why...

This graph illustrates the decline of nutrients in our soil over the years.

You know the salad you ate earlier today? It does not measure up to the vegetables that our grandparents used to eat. The soil has lost up to 72% of its nutrients in the last 100 years as reported in The 1992 Earth Summit Report. Coincidently, the Earth’s population has also grown 4 times from what it was 100 years ago. Our economy races to supply the demand of an exponentially growing population. The only problem is that when the population grows quicker than the Earth’s resources, corners are cut. Quality is compromised for convenience, and mass consumption is met with mass production. How does this affect the food we grow and eventually eat? Mineral-deficient soil produces mineral-deficient foods. And mineral-deficient foods produce mineral-deficient people. No wonder so many people complain of fatigue and lack of energy...many of us are poorly nourished.

A lot of us are making an effort to eat healthy but we're left with little hope. Suppose you eat a salad everyday for lunch, this would be considered by many to be a wise healthy choice. You might be surprised to learn that although it may be healthier than a burger and fries, it isn’t necessarily ‘healthy’. The nutrients you expect from the salad are missing.

A study conducted at UCLA in 1997 compared the Iron in samples of spinach from 1997 with those grown in 1953. Guess how many bowls of the spinach you would have to eat in 1997 to get the same amount of nutrients and iron content as one bowl of spinach grown from the same soil in 1953? 43 bowls of spinach! To put things into perspective, we are now in 2013 and things haven’t improved. Our food is not as nutritious as it used to be, putting our health at risk, yet many people will not accept the need for quality supplements.

This is why we need to properly nourish ourselves with the aid of quality supplements to fill in the nutritional gaps in our diet. Countless studies show that nutritional supplementation can positively affect your health.

With proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle:

• 80% of all heart diseases in women is preventable
• 60% of all cancer-related deaths could be prevented
• 90% of all type 2 diabetes is preventable
