Figuring it all out. What You Need to Know about When to Take Supplements
Supplements are a popular way to add nutrients to your diet. Supplements may be able to deliver the nutrients you are lacking from your diet. While it is generally best to get your nutrients from a varied diet of whole foods, with some of the changes in our food supply, supplements can be a helpful addition to support overall health and well-being.
One of the main benefits of supplements is that they can help to fill nutrient gaps in the diet. For example, if you are vegan or vegetarian, you may need to take a supplement to ensure you are getting enough protein and vitamin B. Or, if you have a specific health condition, you may benefit from a specific supplement to help manage your symptoms.
In addition to filling nutrient gaps, supplements can help support specific health concerns. For example, omega-3 fatty acid supplements have been shown to have a range of potential health benefits, including reducing inflammation, improving heart health, and helping to alleviate depression and anxiety. Similarly, calcium supplements may be recommended for people at risk of osteoporosis to help strengthen bones or who have a lot of inflammation, and vitamin D supplements may be recommended for people at risk of deficiency, which can lead to a range of health problems, including bone loss and impaired immune function.
Another benefit of supplements is that they can help to improve overall nutrition. Even if you are eating a balanced and varied diet, there may be certain nutrients that you are not getting enough of, either due to limited food options or difficulty absorbing certain nutrients. In these cases, supplements can help to ensure that you are getting all the nutrients your body needs to function properly.
Today, many of us have experienced changes in our nutritional health that could be from the pandemic. Supplementing things like electrolytes, magnesium, and anti-inflammatory supplements may help improve your nutritional health.
It’s important to note that while supplements can be beneficial, they should not be used as a replacement for a healthy, balanced diet. It is generally best to get your nutrients from whole, unprocessed foods whenever possible and to use supplements as a supplement to your diet rather than a replacement for healthy eating.
It is also important to be cautious when it comes to choosing supplements, as not all supplements are created equal. It is a good idea to speak with Kim Blaufuss before starting any new supplement, as she can help you determine the right dosage and formulation for your individual needs while ensuring you are using the highest quality supplement.
Supplements can be a helpful addition to a healthy, balanced diet, helping to fill nutrient gaps, support specific health concerns, and improve overall nutrition. It is important to use the best quality supplements when choosing and using supplements. Reach out to the office to eliminate the leg work in finding and using supplements.
Overall, the best approach to maintaining good health is to focus on a balanced diet of whole, unprocessed foods, combined with regular physical activity and other healthy lifestyle habits.

About Kim Blaufuss
When I started my career, I had a very narrow idea of what was involved in Chinese Medicine. Later, I discovered that I had the wrong concept of health. My understanding of health was based on my Western background. In Classical Chinese Medical thought, health is something totally different.
