Do you want to know what vitamins to take to compensate when you
just can't eat right? Do you want to know what healthy food choices you should
make? Or what to do when you eat at your favorite fast
food restaurant? What you can do to combat the assault on our bodies of everyday modern
living? Or what to do for high blood pressure, diabetes, or neuropathy pain? Do you want to improve your health, but don't know where to start? That
is what McVitamins is about.
We want to get you on the
road to health - sometimes that means fixing a health issue you
already have before you can start to build basic health - but we are determined to help you find your
path.
The purpose of our site is giving you information on how you can use nutrition
to survive the fast food lifestyle that we live in along with
all the disease that comes along with that life style.
In
the past, a person's life expectancy was lower then today because so
many people died at an early age due to infections, plagues and accidents.
That changed as infectious diseases were eradiated by improved
public hygiene with adequate supply of clean water and the safe
disposal of sewage. antibiotics for infections and
because the accident rate was lowered by safety rules and
procedures.
Now we "live longer", but really most people die a slow progressive
death. Most people live with and die of degenerative diseases - high blood pressure, heart disease,
diabetes, Alzheimers, etc. Even if you were exposed to toxins,
the body could handle it with a healthy immune system (which is hard
to have with poor nutrition.) Cellular malnutrition is a prominent cause of
disease. So, what do you need to do....
We believe in is
building good health. When you build good
health, disease tends to fade away. The body needs
certain nutrients in order to function and remain healthy. When you don't
get those nutrients in the food you eat, or when you build up toxins
which your body has to fight (toxins from processed food, drugs, or
the air you breathe), your body depletes itself of the nutrients
that it needs to be healthy.
Sometimes you need more of specific nutrients. If you
drive your car down the road at a moderate pace, you use up a
certain amount of gasoline. If, however, you take that car
onto the freeway and speed the same amount of miles, you will use up
more of gasoline.
It is similar with the body. You need certain nutrients
to survive. If you are exposed to toxins, you need more of
specific nutrients. If you have physical stress or mental
stress, you need more nutrients.
So, what do you need to
survive?
We offer you information on how to
start to improve your health and to know what nutrients to take. We also have our RECOMMENDED
feature. We have researched various vitamin formulas and when
we find what works best, we pass it on. When we find a
nutrition book worth reading we will also pass it on.
We've all heard that the road to good health is to eat right and exercise. But we also know that the ideal solution of eating only organically grown, balanced foods, getting the right amount of exercise, and living in an unpolluted environment isn't always possible.

organically grown foods)
McVitamins would like to offer you information on what vitamins to take to
help offset the harm caused by modern living: eating on the run, breathing polluted air or even
eating those foods you don't want to give up eating even though you know you should.
Okay, you should, but you can start by taking vitamins. We also are always
on the lookout for good vitamins - healthy vitamins - not made in the laboratory
that will really create a difference in your health.
(Note: we also
have a Glossary so you can look up any words you
don't understand).
What is this
website about? We give you information of what vitamins you can take to supply
the essential nutrients that you don't get in the food you eat, and what to take
to put back the vitamins that get depleted from eating those food that are not
so good for you. We give you information on what you can do despite the fact that you smoke, drink coffee,
and eat processed food. We even give you information on what to take if
you already have a health condition. (See our Diabetes
or Neuropathy page for a example of this)
