As a Nation....

We eat poor-quality foods that have been stripped of nutrients. 
We do not consume enough fresh fruits and vegetables.

Many of us get our whole grains from instant rice, refined wheat breads, pastas, and cereal.
We eat a tremendous amount of prepackaged, pre-made meals.
One-quarter of Americans eat at fast food restaurants each day.

Child obesity is approaching epidemic proportions.
One-third of children and teens in the United States – 25 million total – are either overweight or on the brink of becoming so, according to a recent government survey.
If teenage girls are obese at age 18, they are twice as likely to die between the ages of 36 and 56. 
Americans are overfed and undernourished.

Dietary supplements can complement your regular diet if you have trouble getting enough nutrients. Although they aren’t meant to be food substitutes, a dietary supplement program might be just what you need.
