Why is it important to supplement?

There is some controversy surrounding the use of nutritional supplements. Beyond a debate that is often driven by self-interest, there are a number of interesting questions that should be addressed. Will nutritional supplements help us? Undoubtedly, yes. Thousands of studies demonstrate the beneficial effects of fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, to name just a few of the most commonly used supplements. Furthermore, certain ailments and diseases are known to be associated with a deficiency in a particular nutrient. Ideally, in an advanced society, we should achieve optimal nutrition solely through diet. Unfortunately, this isn't possible in most cases, as the decline in the nutritional value of the foods we commonly consume is widely documented for a variety of reasons: soil depletion, overexploitation of farmland, harvesting food before it reaches its optimal ripeness, food transportation, storage, and cooking methods. A very long list could be compiled of factors that prevent food from providing us with what it should. Furthermore, the pace of life in our society often prevents us from eating the way we would like or know we should. Another factor to consider is age, as each person should ensure they are providing their body with the nutrients it truly needs. Are nutritional supplements safe to take? Yes, nutritional supplements are safe. There are very few documented cases of poisoning due to nutritional supplements, and all of them are due to abnormally excessive consumption. Quality nutritional supplements, manufactured according to regulations and taken in the indicated doses, are completely safe. If you are taking any medication or have any type of illness, it is always advisable to consult with your doctor to clarify any doubts. Is it a worthwhile investment? As with any other investment, it will depend on each person. The average Spaniard spends 90 euros per month on tobacco, alcohol, and gambling. Ultimately, it is a personal decision, and each person decides whether they want to invest in their health to live longer and improve their quality of life. And, above all, it's a matter of habits. Incorporating nutritional supplements into our daily routine as a way to ensure we get the necessary nutrients is a way of investing in our own health. What our food doesn't provide, we can obtain through nutritional supplements. Which nutritional supplements are right for each person?
