As young athletes begin their athletic careers and their need for nutritional support increases, they unfortunately tend to decrease their desire for nutritious foods. Young bodies require tremendous amounts of nutrients to thrive, and the young-athlete needs even more specific nutrients to achieve peak performance.

Athletes, including children,require optimal nutrition to recover from the stress of physical activity. (Journal of School Nursing: Sports Nutrition for Young Athletes, December 2005, vol. 21(6):323-8.) Allowing the body to recover more completely and/or more rapidly allows the athlete to come to the next training session or competition ready to push to the next level.

Without proper recovery, an athlete of any age cannot maximize the body’s ability to improve. Incomplete recovery can hinder training and improvement. Poor recovery combined with long term over-training can reduce the body’s immune capacity, which leads to illness and injury—things every athlete wants to avoid.

Parents should be cautious when it comes to giving their children supplements, though there are too many news stories about athletes who unknowingly take a banned substance contained in a “supplement.” GNLD wants every parent to know that we highly value the health of their children.

In fact, GNLD and the SAB guarantee that all GNLD nutritional supplements are free from any substance banned by all the major sports governing bodies, including the United States Anti Doping Association (USADA).

Children need a basic multi-vitamin that provides lipids and sterols in addition to vitamins and minerals. GNLD’s Vita-Squares® provide optimal cellular nutrition that supports children’s physical and mental development and emotional well-being by specifically addressing their nutritional needs.

Vita-Squares contain vitamins, minerals, lipids, sterols, and other whole-food-based nutrients that are deficient in many children’s diets yet are essential for good health. Vita-Squares are delicious chewable tablets with great flavor derived from all-natural fruit essences.

In any type of diet, some form of food intake will have to be cut down. Whether it is a low carb diet or a high protein diet you are more than likely to have an insufficient intake of at least one of the essential food groups or a particular foodstuff.

A dietary supplement ,also known as food supplement is a preparation that is designed to supply nutrients -such as vitamins, minerals, fatty acids or amino acids - that are missing or not consumed in sufficient quantity in a person’s diet.

A dietary supplement must fulfill the following conditions:

• It is a product intended to supplement the diet and contains vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, amino acids, or any combination of the above ingredients.

• It is to be taken in tablet, capsule, powder, soft gel, gel cap, or liquid form.

• A dietary supplement is not presented for use as a conventional food or as a sole foodstuff in a meal or the diet as a whole.

• It should be explicitly labeled as a dietary supplement.

With the advancement of medical science and an increased interest in holistic health and wellness, the world of dietary supplements is getting increasingly complicated. When we talk about dietary or food supplements we are not just talking about vitamins and minerals anymore.

Modern dietary supplements include a broad range of vitamins, minerals, herbs and other substances meant to top up your diet. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration categorizes dietary supplements as foods rather than as drugs because dietary supplements have proved to be safe over many years of human usage, whereas drugs are not assumed to be safe until extensive testing has been done to prove their safety.

Nevertheless, supplements can play an important role in our health. Some doctors advise patients to take a multivitamin-mineral supplement to make sure that they are getting enough of all the nutrients they need. However, this does not give us the license to eat unhealthy meals and then simply top them off with dietary supplements.

When we hear the word nutrition, we often think of healthy foods. But healthy foods are really part of the diet. Individual cells can only benefit from good nutrition if the foods in the diet are broken down into building blocks small enough to absorb.

These nutritional building blocks must then be distributed throughout the body, absorbed by cells, and metabolized, with crucial nutrients assimilated into the cellular machinery and waste products eliminated.

In other words, diet is what we eat, but nutrition is what our cells and tissues actually receive.

THE SIX STAGES OF NUTRITION

Nutrients pass through six separate and distinct stages as our body works to support nutrition in each cell. Each of these stages must operate efficiently to attain optimum nutrition for the entire body. Even a slight breakdown in one of the stages could reduce our chances for optimal health… To download our free report- “THE SIX STAGES OF NUTRITION”, CLICK HERE

As scientists continue to suggest optimal nutrient intakes, the gap between ideal and actual intakes will widen. In many cases the Optimal Daily Intake will be several times the current Recommended Dietary Allowance , and the only possible means of attaining these levels will be supplements.In other words, supplementation can give your body what it needs to survive and thrive!

While one person refuses to eat green vegetables, another will prefer foods heavy in fat, and yet another may consume only a very small amount of protein. Our individual metabolism also determines the benefits we derive from food.Age, sex, physical condition, and activity levels directly affect the body’s need for nutrients and its ability to use them.

No two people are alike in their nutritional needs. Members of the same family, eating the same meals, will derive different benefits from the foods served. Our personal tastes dominate much of what we consume.

Many scientists believe that these differences may play a large part in explaining why some people complain of tired and sluggish while others remain vital and active. Certain aspects of your lifestyle can increase nutrient demands.

For instance, physically active people may need more antioxidants than sedentary individuals. So, too, might people who are exposed to pollution on a daily basis, who consume foods laden with fat or chemical additives, or who are under mental stress.

Alcohol, medication, food additives, and water contaminants can also increase the need for certian nutrients. Smokers may benefit from more vitamin C, and coffee drinkers
may want to take more B-vitamins. Dieters, on the other hand, may need more vitamin E, as avoiding fat means missing out on some of the richest sources of this vitamin.

And if they eat products made with “fake fats” such as olestra, they may need to
supplement with vitamins A, D, E, K, and carotenoids, as artificial fats may hinder the body’s utilization of these lipidsoluble nutrients.

Nutritional supplementation has two goals:

1. Providing nutrients in amounts sufficient to prevent or correct deficiency symptoms.

2. Providing nutrients in amounts necessary for supporting optimal health.

Supplementation can go a long way toward filling nutritional gaps created by suboptimal diets and impacting your quality of life. CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE

Throughout history, obtaining food has been a struggle. Today, however, getting food is merely a matter of satisfying our personal whims and fancies. Our choices are no longer
limited by local seasons or climate.

In fact, individual foods are usually in season somewhere and may be shipped halfway
around the world just for our convenience. Our food supply has never been more abundant, and feeding ourselves has never been easier.

Technological advancements in farming, transportation, storage, and processing of foods have made this bounty possible. Whereas in the past people bought fresh produce,dairy products, and meats directly from the farm, today people rarely have time to plan well-balanced meals and track down local foods to use in their preparation.

For convenience, we tend to buy our food in grocery stores or restaurants. And, unlike our ancestors, we eat convenience foods of all types — even entire meals — which are readily available in packages, cans, jars, “boil-in-bag” pouches, freezer trays, and microwave ready containers.

In choosing convenience, however, we may be sacrificing nutrition. From harvest to tabletop, our food may be stored, processed, refined, cooked, frozen, packaged, and shipped. And at each step, several factors can lessen food’s nutritional value: Click Here For Complete Report

SUPPLEMENTS BOOST YOUR DIET’S NUTRIENT DENSITY AND DIVERSITY
The bottom line is that your food may not be as nutritious as you think. Every day nutrients are processed out of our food in the name of convenience. Even if you pick the right foods — and most of us don’t — you may not be getting the nutrient density and nutrient diversity you need for optimal health and vitality… Click here to continue
