Our original diets were 100% natural. We ate raw foods such as plants, fruits, berries, nuts, vegetables, beans, grains, fish, foul, and animals. Our original foods were composed of proteins, carbohydrates, natural fats, minerals, and enzymes that came from unpolluted soil and water supplies.
The quality of our processed foods today is lower, with less fiber, less nutrients, and added synthetic vitamins. Today our food is not nearly as wholesome as it was years ago. Dr. Dunn maintains that it is essential to add nutritional supplements our diet daily, in addition to a gallon of water, to promote healthy bones, tissues and muscles.
Learn more about some of the essential supplements our bodies need to be healthy:
Vitamin B complex
B complex is composed of Thiamin (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacinamide (B3), Pantothenic Acid (B5), Pyridoxine (B6), Cyanocobalamin (B12), Folic Acid, and Biotin and is necessary to convert our food supply into useable energy for our cells. Without the proper amount of Vitamin B complex, complications such as heart muscle failure, muscle weakness, central and peripheral nervous system failure could occur.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an antioxidant, which minimizes the breakdown of cell membranes in our tissues and is necessary for the maintenance and repair of body tissues. The science of exercise physiology has demonstrated the need for higher intakes of both vitamin C and water. Dr. Dunn recommends Vitamin C at 10mg. of vitamin C per pound of body weight daily.
Vitamin E
Is an antioxidant that works with Vitamin C and is very important in counteracting the normal process of oxidation. Dr. Dunn recommends a daily dosage of 200 – 400 IU.
Minerals
A mineral supplement plan designed for bone metabolism is necessary to prevent osteoporosis. Simply taking calcium does not do the job. Our body needs calcium, magnesium, zinc, manganese, and boron together for effective support of bone physiology along with vitamins C, D and K. Cells in the tissues of our body are in constant need of water, oxygen and nutrients. When our nutritional intake is poor, our cells die a slow death one at a time.
Nutritional research has exploded around the world in the last twenty years. More has been learned about human nutrition in the last decade than in the entire last century. The bottom line is nutritional supplementation is crucial.
