I can get all the Nutrients from the food I eat...

I often hear the statement, "I can get all the Nutrients from the Food I eat".

In this blog I explore this statement and I will show you information which suggests that NO you cannot get all the Nutrients from the food you eat.

Vitamin & Minerals are vital nutrients for bodily functions and prevention of disease.

In a large 26,000 person study it was concluded that not one person received the nutritional requirements set forth by the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance). 96% of the Australian population dies of a disease - we are not getting proper nutrition.

According to the American Medical Association, "Insufficient vitamin intake is apparently a cause of chronic diseases...Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone. Pending strong evidence of effectiveness from randomized trials, it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements"

Vitamin & Mineral Supplementation is necessary for the following reasons:
1. Crop nutrient losses - Decades of agriculture have overworked & depleted soils of minerals.

2.Poor Digestion - Eating too much or too quickly & stress can cause indigestion. Indigestion reduces absorption of vitamins & minerals.

3. Over-cooking - Can easily destroy valuable nutrients.

4. Microwave cooking - Studies suggest that microwave cooking alters the nutritional structure of food.

5. Food Storage - Length of storage & freezing deplete the nutritional value of most foods.

6 Food Selection - Eating a too limited range of different food groups will result in nutrient deficiencies.

7. Food Omission - Allergies to foods, crash dieting and poorly designed vegetarian diets omit significant dietary sources of nutrients.

8. Environment factors - Herbicides & pesticides are used on crops, leaving them with low nutritional value.

9. Antibiotics - Antibiotics interfere with the intake of essential nutrients.

10. Poor Lifestyle habits - Smoking, alcohol and caffeine can inhibit the absorption of vitamins & minerals or accelerate the loss of nutrients.

11. Stress - Be it physical or emotional, can increase the body's requirement of vitamins and minerals.

12. Out of balance - The Level of each vitamin and mineral in the body has an effect on others, so if one is out of balance (missing), all are adversely effected. With antioxidants, one is not nearly as strong as several combined as each greatly enhances the power of others.

13. Nutrient variance - There are substantial differences between one fruit or vegetable and another. One tomato can have 10 times more nutritional value than another - which tomato did you eat?

Vitamins and minerals in your body should not be viewed as independent substances, but rather as a cooperative network of nutrients working together. If one nutrient is missing, it throws the entire network of nutrients out of balance.

"A deficiency of a vitamin or mineral will cause a body part to malfunction & eventually break down - and, like dominos, other body parts will follow."
James F Balch, M.D., Prescription for Nutritional Healing

Your health, your Intelligence, your Energy and your Appearance are dependant on you replenishing your vitamins and minerals several times per day.

What Do Vitamins and Minerals Do for You?

• Build Up Your Immune System, Illness and disease are not "caught". One doesn't catch cancer, heart disease or a cold. You create these ailments with deficiencies based on what you eat or don't eat.


• Increase Your Energy Level, Vitamins & Minerals are involved in the release of energy from digested foods. Strong, lasting energy levels are good indicators of healthy vitamin and mineral intake.


• Enhance Your Appearance, Skin clearness, tone, and elasticity, hair strength, thickness and color, fingernail strength, color and texture all depend on vitamins and minerals. Some people look 50 years old at 30. Some look 30 at 50.


• Expand Your Intelligence, Brain function, ability to concentrate and memory require proper vitamin and mineral levels.

Everyone will die, but how you look and feel for the last 20 - 50 years depends on your lifestyle and vitamin & mineral intake throughout your entire life.

"Soil depletion levels of minerals in Europe at 72% over the last 100 years" 1992 Earth Summit Report.

UK Study published in the British Food Journal, 1997, compared the mineral content of fruit and vegetables between 1930s - 1980s. The researches found that there was a significant reduction in calcium, magnesium, iron and copper. The calcium content of vegetables fell 80%, magnesium fell 65% and copper fell 20% from their original 1930s level.

Potatoes Potassium 650mg 450mg 30.8%

Calcium 27mg 3mg 88.9%

Iron 2mg 0.5mg 75%

Lets get back to that statement, "I can get all the Nutrients from the food I eat". From the above evidence, I can clearly say NO, you cannot get all the nutrients from the food you eat.

It is clear that everyone has to start supplementing their nutrients through a supplement which supplies the human body with balance nutrition.

A company by the name of Herbalife make it of great importance that their products provide the human body with 100% balanced nutrition through its unique and advanced "Cellular Nutrition" products. Take a look at my blog about Cellular Nutrition, http://wellnesscoachsupport.blogspot.com/2010/10/cellular-nutrition-does-your-weight.html

Herbalife has been developing these state of the art nutritional products for 30 years and have doctors and nutritionists that make sure that when you take these products into your body that you absorb 100% good balanced nutrition.

There are many Vitamin & Mineral Supplements on the market that all claim to be the best. I can confirm to you that the Herbalife products are the best considering that they have been providing the products for 30 years, have a Nobel Prize winner on their Advisory Board, have over 65 million testimonials of people getting great results on the products and are available in 73 countries around the world.

5th Step to Wellness: Make a plan of action that you can commit to

Why is it so important to make a plan of action that you can commit to?

First of all, if you dont have a plan, you will not get towards your goals.


Next, if you cant commit to your plan, then your plan is worth nothing.


So what type of plans would your Personal Wellness Coach provide you?


Your Personal Wellness Coach will give you the following:

• A personal meal plan according to you body compisition.
• A Weekly appointment plan where you will speak to you coach about your progress.
• A daily exercise plan.

These plan have to be realistic and you will have to stick to these plans in order to accomplish your goals.

You also need to note that some of these new strategies that get implemented may be out of the normal for you. Therefore in order to find out that you can stick to a plan, you need to make sure you make an effort for at least 3 - 4 weeks before deciding with your coach that you need to adjust your plan.

This is another reason why regular contact with a Personal Wellness Coach is important in order for you to stay on track and keep you motivated towards your goals.

There are many nutritional products on the market though a magority of the time the main reason people dont stay on target towards their goals is that they lose motivation, they think their plan is not working and so go back to doing what they have always done which have gotten them unhealthy.

Also, your coach should give you an estimate on how long it will take for you to get to your goal weight, thats if you needed to lose weight.

A healthy weight loss is between 3 to 5 kg's a month. Therefore if a person needed to lose 30 kg's, then your coach should give you an estimate of approximately 6 months. Now this is realistic.

In our next blog I will be going through why it is important to get ongoing support from a Wellness coach in order to have a healthier future.

2nd, 3rd & 4th Steps to Wellness: Having an Evaluation, Identify key areas to impact, Get Recommendations from a Wellness Coach

What is a Wellness Coach?

A wellness coach is someone that will assist you in looking at your Health and be able to support you towards your wellness goals.

Some things which a coach will do:

• Give you an evaluation of your wellness.
• Provide you with a Nutrition Program.
• Give you a meal plan.
• Give you a Weight Loss & Measurement Chart to record your progress.
• Give you a Food & Drink Log for you to record what you eat and drink every day.
• Provide anaylsis of your progress.
• Give you follow up and talk to you about your progress.
• Moitvate you.

And much more!

Alot of people dont succeed in their Weight Loss or Nutrition Program because they get discourage by their results and they give up. Your coach will be able to help you overcome this.

What is the Wellness Evaluation?

The Evaluation is a one-on-one meeting where the following will happen:

• A body scan will be done which will give you a body anaylsis. This includes your bone density, body fat %, Your metabolic age, etc.
• Provide you with information about good nutrition.
• You will be given 16 questions about your daily nutriton and given a score out of 16 which will indicate whether you are getting all the nutriton you need daily.
• Your Weight will be taken.
• Your BMI (Body Mass Index) will be calculated which will show whether your are Normal, Overweight, Obese, Highly-Obese and Extremely Obese.
• You will be given the appropiate weight you should be on to be in the Normal Healthy range.
• Your Waistline measurement will be taken.
• Based on your waistline measurement you will be told whether your in a High Disease or Low Disease Risk.
• Your coach will then recommend a program based on your results.

After this evaluation you will know how close or far you are away from Wellness.

Your reommendations are true and whether you choose to follow through with these recommendation are up to you.

Once you have finished this Evaluation, your next step is to make a plan of action that you can commit to. I will cover this in my next blog.

First Step to Wellness: Define your Wellness Goals

Why is it so important to define your wellness goals?

We will use this example. You and your family got into a car to go on short holiday trip. Though the problem is before you all got into the car, you didnt talk about where you wanted to go.

What happens when you dont know where to go?....Well, you end going in circles and you dont end up reaching your destination or you will find it a painful struggle in reaching your goals.

So are you clear why it is important to define your wellness goals.

When you define your wellness goals, you have to also be specific. For example, If you want to lose weight, you need to define how much weight you want to lose and also set a date that you want to lose this weight. i.e. I want to lose 10 kg's in 3 months.

Other examples could be you want to become fitter. Be more specific and say I want to able to run for 14 km's without rest by end of March 30.

Another example, is that I want to tone my body. Be more specific and set a goal that you want to build biceps and lose 10% of my body fat in 2 months.

It is also important that when you set these specific goals, that you are realistic. You dont want to set a goal like you want to lose 10 kg's in 1 month. This is just not going to happen.

Next step after you set your specific goals, you want to note them down somewhere where you are able see these goals every single time. Get a piece of paper, write the goal down in big and bold writing on the paper and stick it on your fridge or pantry cupboard or bedroom noticeboard or where you will see it most of the time.

Also, write it down on a small card to put into your wallet or handbag. Look at it before you go to bed and wake up. Look at it when you have a weak moment where you are tempted to get off track towards your goal.

Lastly, note down what the Benefits are for me to acheive this goal. Also, note down what are the negatives for not achieving these goals.

In Summary

• Define your goals and be specific.


• Write down your goals in Big and Bold writing on a clean piece of paper.


• Stick up your Paper of goals somewhere where you notice it all the time.


• Note down the benefits of reaching your goals and the negatives of not reaching your goals.

Reaching Ultimate Wellness

I start my Blog with the subject of Wellness. I start this because this is what I do, I am on a journey in helping people reach ultimate wellness. Even though Wellness has many meanings, meanings which involve health, financial prosperity, relationships, mental etc.

The main variations of wellness I will be touching on is Health and financial prosperity which I believe are the fundamentals of having a better life and ultimately reaching ultimate wellness.

Firstly lets define the the word "Wellness".

What is the Definition of Wellness?
"The condition of good physical and mental health, especially when maintained by proper diet, exercise and habits" according to the American Heritage Dictionary.

"Its about feeling better and looking better" according to Mark Hughes, founder Herbalife.

"Wellness is about waking up every morning and having enough time, energy and freedom to live the life you want"

According to Dr David Heber is a Professor of Medicine and Director, UCLA Center for Human Nutrition, "Good Nutrition is vital to wellness and enhances the overall quality of life."

What does Wellness mean to you?

So what are the factors that Impact Health?

• Fast food diets that are high in fat and low in nutrients.


• Overly-processed, convenience foods.


• Sedentary lifestyle.


• Pollution.


• Stress.


• Certain medications.


• Lack of dietary fiber from fruits, vegetables and whole grains.


• Not enough healthy sources of protein in our diets to support healthy muscle and bone.


• Lack of proper rest.

The keys to Optimum Wellness

1. Balance your Diet - You need to get enough of the right foods including colorful fruits and vegetables, protein, good carbohydrates and just enough good fats for the taste you want. You also need vitamins, minerals and fiber from dietary supplements to provide the nutrition missing from your diet that your cells need for good health.



2. Exercise Regularly - regular exercise can help you feel and look your best. Exercise conditions your heart and relieves stress and makes it easier to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight.



3. Drink lots of Water - Your body is about two-thirds water, in an average day you lose at least one pint of water even without excessive sweating. To feel your best, you should drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day.

Here are some steps for Achieving Optimum Wellness:

• Define Your Wellness Goals


• Have an evaluation of your personal wellness.


• Identify key areas you need to impact to reach your wellness goals.


• Get recommendations from your Personal Wellness Coach.


• Make a plan of action that you can commit to.


• Get ongoing support you need to stay on your wellness track for a healthier future.

Let me say I myself have not reach optimum wellness though lets just say that after 4 years at eating the right foods and doing regular exercise, I feel that my health has changed considerably.

I no longer get sick like I used to, in fact I hardly get sick at all. I do at occasions may get a sniffle, though this goes away within 24 hours.

I also used to have hay fever during the spring/summer season and now I never get this no more.

I also used to have sinus irritations which include constant sneezing, red irritated eyes and drowsiness and guess what... these symptoms don't occur no more.

I have managed to keep my weight constant for 4 years and my energy levels have always been high.

The human body is an incredible thing, it just shows that if you give it everything it needs in balance and have regular exercise, it manages to heal itself.

Just one more point I want to mention, that is with the all the way food is being grown and process there is absolutely no chance that a person can get all the nutrition it needs from the food they eat without getting overweight. The nutrition value in foods in these times compared to 50 years ago has depreciated so much that people will need to eat over 4000 calories to make sure they provide their bodies with the right amount of nutrition.

So, I suggest that everybody start taking high quality supplements which include a Multi-vitamin, Omega 3 Fish Oils, Calcium which include Vitamin D, an Anti-Oxidant and other supplements which may support the human body.

For 4 years now, I have always had a Herbalife Nutritional Shake which has all the right amounts of nutrients my body needs in balance which include Protein, Carbohydrates, Sugar & Fiber. I also take 3 times a day a Multi-vitamin, Omega 3 Fish Oil, an Anti-Oxidant, Calcium, Iron and fiber.

Hey it was a little different at first though it becomes normal after a while and I have gotten all the benefits of a change of lifestyle. I feel absolutely great every single day.
