Importance of Supplements #2

The efficiency of metabolic reactions is limited by the amount of energy that is available to cells, and by the health of the cells themselves. The energy available to cells depends on the quality of foods we eat, and on the presence of vitamins and minerals, which activate enzyme systems that liberate energy from foods. The cells themselves can be damaged by dehydration, glycation, free radical oxidation and so on. We can avoid dehydration by drinking plenty of pure water, and diminish glycation by avoiding processed carbohydrates. White we cannot prevent all free radical damage, it can he minimized (and even reversed) with anti-oxidant nutrients. Maximum protection however requires an incredibly wide variety of such nutrients.
