Nutrients for Total Wellbeing
While stress and environment play a major part in skin and body toxicity, anti-oxidants are the key to delivering protection against the effects of aging within the cell.
The “why” behind our innovative skin nutrient range came from wanting to achieve a synergy of good skin health and nutrition.
What drives the Miss Vitality brand, are the results in the strengthening of the cell walls and the cell contents to be more resistant to damage, assisting woman to look and feel more vital.
Oxidative stress not only comes from internal imbalances but from external influences. We wanted to stabilize and protect against free radicals.
Why we need extra nutrients
Good nutrition means eating a wide variety of foods every day and for some of us this is not always possible. As our lives get busier, time for good food preparation is not always our priority.
Women need greater amounts of certain nutrients than men, particularly iron and calcium. Menstruation, pregnancy, lactation and menopause are times of increased nutritional demand.
Deficiencies can occur if the diet is inadequate over a long period of time. Diet poor in nutrients through highly processed, fatty or refined foods cause increased toxic load in our internal environment, congest the bowel and limit the absorption of key nutrients and minerals. Also our plant sources of foods are grown in soils with diminished nutrients with farmers adding magnesium, selenium, and zinc, along with toxic elements.
With the popularity of crash dieting and yoyo dieting in Australia, nutritional deficiencies are common, especially among women. Good nutrition means eating a variety of foods every day, which isn’t possible when on a restrictive diet.
Lack of exercise and even excessive exercise, too much alcohol and smoking increase the acidity in the body. Large quantities of foods like tea and coffee with high levels of caffeine can interfere with the absorption and excretion of important minerals.
Another factor that reduces our nutrient uptake is Running Women’s Syndrome and Anxiety. These cause increased cortisol in the body from running on adrenalin and this then breaks down collagen in the skin, exhausts the adrenal gland, causes imbalances in metabolism, thyroid, sleep patterns, and can make us irritable and moody. Increased stress levels require increased supplements including B vitamins, Resveratrol, EFAS, Magnesium and Calcium.
Ageing reduces our absorption of nutrients and after the age of 50 years our digestive enzymes reduce in number, so the importance of getting the right nutrients in important for overall health.
Illness and diseases of the body requiring high medications, all demand higher quantities of valuable nutrients, vitamins and minerals to assist our wellbeing.
