SALT LAKE CITY, March 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- National Nutrition
Month encourages Americans to examine their approach to overall
nutrition, including making informed choices and developing healthy
habits for diet and exercise. Supplementing your healthy
lifestyle with essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to
optimize your overall nutritional status safeguards your body
against harmful deficiencies.
"Eating a diet full of nutrient-dense foods like fruits and
vegetables is a critical component of a healthy lifestyle, but the
truth is, few people actually get a truly balanced diet,"
says Dr. Brian Dixon, Executive
Director of Health and Science Education at USANA Health Sciences.
"A comprehensive supplement regimen added to your healthy lifestyle
can help your body perform at its best every day."
Dr. Dixon recommends his top five favorite supplements to help
get you on the road to health:
- Multi-vitamin/multi-mineral – Multi-vitamin and multi-mineral
supplements provide nutrients that are essential to life. They can
make up nutritional shortfalls that can occur with even the
healthiest of diets. They also support
optimized cellular function, helping to ensure cells are
working at peak performance.*
- Vitamin D – Vitamin D is necessary for normal bone
mineralization and growth, maintenance of muscle strength and
coordination, cardiovascular health, and robust and balanced immune
function.*
- Fish Oil – No nutritional program is complete without a
high-quality source of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids. They support
cardiovascular health, proper brain, neural, and visual
development, as well as maintenance of bone, joint, immune, and
cellular health.*
- Probiotic – Probiotics fortify the naturally occurring "good"
bacteria that live in your gut which aid digestion, support your
immune system, and can even make essential nutrients our bodies need.*
- Lutein and Zeaxanthin – These antioxidants have been shown to
work together to maintain healthy structures in the eye and many
aspects of vision. However, there is also strong scientific support
the nutrients support brain health, the nervous system, skin
health, bone mineral density, and even a healthy cardiovascular
system.
