Are You Sure You're Getting Your Essential Nutrients?

Iron Rich Foods

Wellness Tip:

With today's hurried lifestyles, people often fail to eat enough real nutrient-dense food. The reality is that most of us are living with micronutrient deficiencies and imbalances which lead to a myriad of health issues. Even if you do eat reasonably well, you can still struggle to get the nutrients you need from anything grown in modern day nutrient-depleted soils.

Taking supplements seems to be a quick and easy way to get a variety of nutrients quickly and easily. However, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and other vital nutrients are not always metabolized as effectively through supplements as they are via natural food sources. There is also an increased risk of developing imbalances with supplements that are less likely through natural food choices.

In addition to eating healthy proteins like lean meats, nuts and seeds, good fats like avocado and olive oil, and lots of nutrient rich vegetables, people should supplement as needed. But how do you know which essential nutrients you really need? Get a micronutrient test and find out exactly what you need to feel your absolute best.

You can order a test from your doctor or the folks at WellnessFX will refer you to a local lab and deliver easy-to-read confidential results right to your computer or mobile device. Visit: WellnessFX.com.

Think you eat well, but still not feeling your best? Common food allergies and digestion issues can create nutrient absorption problems leading to imbalances as well. Lots of reasons to be tested so you know for sure.
