Do you know our body actually require 114 nutrients every single day?

What are nutrients for?

Essential nutrients in the body are for cells growth, maintenance and repair.

Nutrients provide energy to allow your body to function efficiently.

Nutrients along with fiber and WATER are essential for good health.

Vitamins and minerals are needed for macronutrients to control the release of energy from food.

Vitamins are organic substances, it activates enzymes, which are proteins that acts as catalysts to speed up biological reactions that take place in your body.

Our body produces a certain amount of vitamins D and K, but all other vitamins come from our diet and supplements.

To work correctly, 114 nutrients the body needs each day. Both our food and nutritional supplements should provide the full range of nutrients:
• Macro-nutrients: proteins, carbohydrates and fats
• Micro-nutrients: vitamins, minerals and trace elements
• Phyto-nutrients: nutrients of plant origin

It is ALMOST impossible to achieve that, to eat so much vitamins, minerals and all that our body requires for optimum performance. Optimum performance means to wake up in the morning feeding enough energy to take each day with clear thoughts to the management of our challenges effectively.

Nutrients from food are absorbed by the body as it passes through the digestive system. But basically if we have to "eat" 114 nutrients through food, before we achieve optimum performance we would have achieve the ultimate body size. ;)

(the 4th benefit) all together it's less than 200 calories!
I don't know where the hell can i find anything better than this...
