How many of us know a friend that takes handfuls of pills on a daily basis?  Talk about overkill!  I am sure that many of these supplements probably cancel each other out in the body and you wind up peeing them out of your system along with your money.  I want to do a post today on keeping it simple, as it pertains to vitamins and supplements.

I am a big believer in supplements; believe me I have a whole line I have created!  But there seems to be a pill for everything these days in our ever growing wellness world.  I am not even touching on prescription medicine, that is an entirely different blog!  There are metabolizers, libido enhancers, carbohydrate inhibitors…it goes on and on!  I am here to say keep it simple!

Here is what we all need.  Good, wholesome, nutritious food and plenty of water.  Really, that should be the recipe for life.  But with today’s world of fast pace and stress, we need supplements to help keep us from getting depleted.  This is why I believe in the basics.

People always ask, "Greg, what are the fundamental supplements I should add in my life?”  This is a big question.  I developed the six essentials to do just that.  Six basic supplements that work together and support each other in your body.

Check them out:
1.  Omega 3:  The vitamin of the fat world for healthy skin, eyes, and heart.
2.  Immune elixir:  Pill a day keeps the doctor and hay fever away.
3.  Fat Burning Lemonade:  The revolution that converts fat to energy.
4.  Calcium:  It's all about healthy bones!
5.  Multi vitamin:  Super energy food.
6.  Protein Powder:  The building blocks of our bodies.

There you go.  These are the basics, and plenty.  Believe me!  But you see, even my line, as basic as it is, is a lot of stuff.  Now, I do have one product in my six essentials which I call Fat Burning Lemonade.  Even this so called sport supplement is pure product, no fillers, nothing.  Just L-carnitine to burn fat and D-ribose for energy and recovery.  Together, they are a great one-two punch that actually works!

Anyway, the point here is not to push my products too hard.  You know how to find them.  But just try to be aware of what products truly serve you.  And remember, you can make up these so called vital nutrients we lack in our busy lives through a well balanced diet.  Supplements are needed in today’s world and they serve a purpose indeed.  But please don't get carried away and think a handful of pills can replace a well balanced diet.  Be smart, be informed, and be conservative with such a growing commerce of supplemental wellness.  When in doubt, take the minimum and let nature do the rest.

All the Best in Health!
