Supplementary Food Analysis

People make an effort to increase their longevity by taking supplements. Supplements not only protect against deficiency, but also close the gap between the average diet that results in premature death and the optimal diet that prolongs life for decades.

Food supplements prevent predatory free radicals from damaging healthy cells, accelerate the repair and regeneration of damaged cells, and facilitate regeneration. The result is a longer, healthier and more vibrant life.

Supplements foods are mainly intended to increase the nutrient density of the diet. Nutrient density is the ratio of micronutrients such as vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients to macronutrients such as carbohydrates, protein and fat. The higher this ratio, the healthier the diet. The anti-aging diet, for example, naturally has a top-notch nutrient density. Supplements increase the ratio even more because they only provide nutrients, but no carbohydrates, protein or fat.

The important point here is: how useful and safe are dietary supplements? Also, do you need to buy them? More than half of all Americans take one or more supplements every day or occasionally. These are available without a prescription and are usually available in pill, powder, or liquid form. Common supplements include vitamins, minerals, and herbal products. People often take these supplements to ensure they are getting enough essential nutrients and to maintain or improve their health. However, not everyone needs to take supplements. Because by consuming healthy foods, it is possible to obtain all the nutrients the body needs. Only supplements can be useful to fill gaps in nutrition.

Dietary supplements are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as food, not medicine. Because, unlike drugs, they do not cure, treat or prevent a disease. The most common nutritional supplements are multivitamins, calcium and vitamins B, C and D. Calcium supports bone health, vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium.

Vitamins C and E are antioxidants, molecules that prevent cell damage and help maintain health. Vitamin B12 keeps nerve and blood cells healthy. Studies show that fish oil supports heart health. Among supplements that are not derived from vitamins and minerals, fish oil is probably the additive with the most scientific evidence to support its use.
