"Modern man seems to go out of his way, using
his ingenuity and inventiveness, to ruin his health and shorten his
life. He is the only creature that spoils his food before he eats it -
by heating, frying, freezing, preserving, processing and refining. He
poisons his air and water supply. He depletes his soil by chemicals
that grow nutritionally-inferior food which cannot sustain health...He
digs his own grave with his knife and fork, eating denatured,
overprocessed, nutritionless and poisoned foods which contribute to
most of our serious or fatal diseases such as cancer, arthritis and
heart disease."
(Airola, P. Every Women’s Book.

Most people today do not get optimal levels of nutrients from their
diet, for whatever reasons, and living in an age of high stress simply
increases our requirement for certain vitamins and minerals. Based on the
diet of the average North American resident, most natural physicians
recommend that everyone take a daily multi-vitamin.
Everyone has unique nutritional requirements. Just as your lifestyle,
age, sex and stress level determine what kind of diet you need, so do they
alter your body’s demand for extra health "insurance". Health insurance of
the financial kind carries an extra "premium" for smokers, for those with
chronic health problems or for those living extra stressful lives. Well,
that’s not the only premium paid by people in those situations or
conditions. All those factors can reduce your body’s ability to
manufacture, process or use the nutrients you give it.
Supplementation may be the only way to counteract the challenges facing
your "life support systems."
Natural Factors has a line of multi-vitamin and mineral formulas to
suit most individual needs.
