Benefits of Vitamins and Nutrients

The benefits of vitamins are that they help your body every day to perform the normal functions that keep you healthy. And the reason they are needed is that most of us do not get enough of the nutrients that our body needs for optimal health.

We have a list of 24 vitamins, minerals and nutrients and the healthy benefits associated with each.

Do you get confused what health benefits a specific nutrient can have for your body?

We work with a brand who is constantly getting new clinical proof that vitamins have their own unique benefits.

Disclaimers: Not all vitamins are created equal, and not all are clinically proven. In fact, some may harm you more than help you. “This post contains affiliate links for products that we have personally used for over 38 years. There is no extra cost to you, if you make a purchase using our links.”

That’s why it is important to find quality vitamins that are proven to work, and to be able to access that proof from the brand.


Nutrition Matters!

Nutrition is what fuels your body. It helps each of your body processes work the way they are supposed to work.

Vitamin and nutrition deficiencies are more common than you realize.

Vitamin and nutrition deficiencies often go undiagnosed.

When you combine healthy eating with supplements your body needs and may not be getting from your food, you are able to bridge the gap of nutrients you aren’t getting.

Nutrition supplements can be your ultimate tool to change your health.

Are you wanting to build up your health?

Do you have a health challenge?

When you have a health challenge, do you consider a nutrition solution?


2 Important Nutrition Tips

If you realize the link between the nutrition you eat, and the state of your health, there are a few tips that can help you make better choices.

  1. Never go into the center of the grocery store. There is little or no nutrition there.
  2. Shop the perimeter and eat fresh food: eat the things that rot before they rot!

You Get Sick When Your Body Can’t Function Optimally.

Your body can be either low in a certain nutrient, or deficient in that nutrient. Sometimes deficiencies come from lack of enough of the nutrient in your diet, or it can result from the nutrient being depleted from your body due to certain foods you eat, medications you take, or lifestyle choices such as smoking or being sleep deprived or high stress.

We have put together a list of 24 natural nutrition supplements and how they can help have a healthy benefit to your body.

Do You Live to Eat, or Eat to Live?

When we first started learning about the importance of nutrition, and how, depending on the food we eat (and a lot more), we may not be getting enough of certain vitamins or minerals every day, we started to understand that every single body process that was happening inside of us required certain nutrients be fed to our cells.

If your cells don’t get the nutrients they need, one or more of these body processes cannot function the way it is supposed to function.

And when you do give your body the nutrition it needs, your body can actually start to function right again.

We believe the body can HEAL ITSELF of many health challenges.

  4. Barely could stop reading this page because there is so much dense information here that I wanted to soak up about nutrition. Very extensive research and resources here for health. Is there a mental health regimen? I am so curious as I have bipolar diagnosis and am always looking for natural remedies for stress relief, sleep aids, mania, depression and/or anxiety…

  5. Thanks so much for your feedback. Shaklee does have some stress/mood natural supplements that can be found here: Stress & Mood. I would encourage you to consider the Prove it Challenge as well because you can take the challenge and prove it to yourself if the nutrition is helpful – or get your money back. It also comes with the nutrients for a 7 Day Healthy Cleanse at no extra charge so a really good deal for as long as it is offered this way: Prove it Challenge. Also I would be happy to talk with you.
