The body requires nutrients in order to function properly and to maintain optimum health. In addition to oxygen, water, carbohydrates, protein and sun energy, there are 21 minerals, 13 vitamins and 2 essential fatty acids that are necessary to maintain good general health. As we age the functions of the body slow down and work less efficiently. The most important of these is the digestion of foods and the absorptions of nutrients. The stomach decreases the amount of hydrochloric acid secreted as well as the amount of important enzymes. This reduces the body's ability to utilize and absorb essential nutrients. These days it is difficult to obtain all of the required vitamins and minerals from fruits and vegetables due to the depletion of our soils and to the practice of harvesting unripe fruits from the trees. This dramatically reduces the vitamin and mineral levels found in foods today. Our body is also constantly under attack from free radicals causing disease and premature aging. Along with the lack of nutrients absorbed by the body, many problems develop, including a lack of energy, mal-digestion, insomnia, amnesia, hair loss, joint pain, brain fog and symptoms of stress, just to name a few. To prevent the occurrence of disease and aging it is critical to take the correct amount and proper combinations of nutrients everyday. It is difficult to take 30 different tablets in the correct combinations and therefore, the Daily Needs nutritional combination was created.
